Earthlink and outgoing mail

I am just switching from a pc to an imac at home. Mail is received, but when I send it out it fails. I have use diagnostic doctor and everything was fine. I a pretty sure it is looking for my outgoing password. I have no way to enter it. Anybody got any ideas??!!
Stan

Stan,
You should be able to enter the SMTP server info in the Accounts tab of Mail Preferences. For earthlink, I recall that the server name is smtpauth.earthlink.net. Use your full email address as user and then enter your password.
Good luck and welcome!

    Is it possible to highlight text in Apple Mail for incoming mails and outgoing mails?

    If you mean that you wish to highlight messages from certain people or domain names, then if you select Preferences under 'Mail' (top left hand corner next to the Apple logo when you're in the mail application) and then select the right hand icon marked 'rules', then click on Add Rule and hopefully the rest is fairly self explanatory.
    Best of luck

  • How to save all incoming and outgoing mail

    I run a Leopard server with 10 email clients that I want to be able to save the incoming and outgoing messages from. I could have sworn that under Tiger, I had the catchall working to include both incoming and outgoing mail to [email protected]
    However, under Leopard the catchall seems to grab only the incoming emails? Is there a way to do this? or - is there a better way I SHOULD be doing this. Basically I need both a record of emails for liability issues and the ability to access them easily (this was made convenient by using webamil to login and read as needed).
    Thanks!

    In /etc/postfix/main.cf

  • No sound for incoming and outgoing mail

    I have a Macbook Pro Retina with the latest OS.  I can't get sounds to work for incoming and outgoing mail.  Can anyone tell me how to correct this?  On my old computer I used to get a ting sound for incoming mail and a whoosh sound for outgoing mail.
    Thanks for any help you can give me.
    Kathy Nelson

    I noticed I actually was not getting all of my mail sounds either, I recently wiped my HD and reimported my account and found my mail was all messed up, so I backed up all my mail, deleted all of the accounts and then set them back up and all sounds are back.
    Try creating a second account on your device and see if the sounds work in mail there?

  • Hotmail and Yahoo Incoming and Outgoing Mail Servers

    Does anyone know what the incoming and outgoing mail servers are for hotmail and yahoo? I'm trying to put them into my mail account, and can't seem to figure out which one (pop or imap) to use.
    Thank you!
    -Kat

    If you are not using the paid (plus) accounts for Yahoo and Hotmail, they do not support access through email client applications like Mail, etc.
    For Hotmail, you may have success with the HttpMail Plugin if your account is old enough.
    For Yahoo-and Hotmail if it doesn't work with the plugin-you can use MacFreePOPs.

  • HT201320 What is incoming and outgoing mail server and server port number

    What is incoming and outgoing mail server and server port number

    See applenerd504 previous reply:
    These specifications that allow you to send and receive messages on your iPhone. If you are using iCloud Mail, Gmail, or another service listed in the selector in settings, they should be automatically configured. If not, you may need to look up certain numbers for your email service.
    Putting it in slightly different terms:
    If you are using a web-mail system like gmail (with a gmail email address) all the mail sending, receiving and management is done on Google servers. In these cases you will only need to have a working internet connection to be able to log in to the service to access its data. 
    Supplying mail sever names and port numbers should only be needed if you are using a traditional (non-web) email account where you are accessing the mail servers directly. This would be typical for a email account set up by someone like your ISP (Internet Service Provider), in these cases you will have to ask them for the appropriate settings.

  • Ipowerweb and outgoing mail server issues

    getting my POP account on my iPhone to send mail successfully has proven to be difficult.
    why is it that on my old Nokia E61 my incoming and outgoing mail server settings "mail.mydomain.net" worked regardless of whether i was on edge or wifi -- yet on my iPhone the only way i can send email is to turn wifi off, and input "cwmx.com" as my outgoing mail server and send sloooowly over edge?
    i guess my question is, what is different about the way the iPhone connects to different servers, if my old phone did not have any issues with it at all - and how can i remedy this? shouldnt it be as simple as sycing the settings from my POP account on my G5? what am i missing here...and is this specific to ipowerweb hosting?
    thanks

    aegez,
    As a point of clarification, if you are going to use Port 25 on EDGE you have to use cwmx.com. Many networks filter port 25 traffic because of port 25 traffic has been abused by people sending unsolicited bulk email (aka spam). AT&T's EDGE network is not the only network to filter port 25.
    The iPhone in some situations will try other common ports, many of which will require authentication.
    If you are using an outgoing mail server that requires authentication on a port besides port 25 it should work on both WiFi and EDGE in most situations. The exception would be on networks that filter traffic on all ports as a security major, such as some work environments.

  • Trying to add my thunderbird work email account to my new iphone, how do I find my "incoming mail server" and "outgoing mail server" host names?

    Got a new Iphone 6 and I need to add my work thunderbird email account onto the phone. It is asking me for the host name of my incoming and outgoing mail server and I have no idea what this means- please help!

    First off there is no such thing as a Thunderbird email account. Email providers issue email accounts and Thunderbird is email client software and not a provider.
    You can look at the server settings in Thunderbird to see the settings it is using or you could get a list from your provider.
    In Thunderbird go to the menu bar and select Tools-Account Settings-Server Settings to see the Inbound settings and Tools-Server Settings-Outbging Server(SMTP) for Outbound settings.
    No menu bar with Tools showing? Press the alt key.

  • I upgraded the software on my Time Capsule and outgoing mail stopped on my Mac Air

    Hi
    I upgraded the software on my Time Capsule and outgoing mail stopped on my Mac Air
    My colleagues are using my Time Capsule on their Mac Air (with Lion OS System) and Dell with MS OS System.
    I am on OS X 10.6.8 and was sucessfully using SMTP for outgoing mail .... after my update for the Time Capsule, Mail on my Mac Air stopped
    Why?
    Thanks in advance
    Jan

    Hi Garmulewicz,
    Can you tell us a little bit about the SMTP service? What port is it set to use? Authentication SMTP? Have you tried manually sending over Port 25, 587 or 465? If you bypass the Time Capsule can you confirm that SMTP traffic still works behind the same modem?
    I've personally never seen an update break SMTP, that would imply that the update somehow is blocking the port where SMTP is occurring. What if you configure a personal GMail account or something else, does that work?

  • Problems with incoming and outgoing mail

    I've read a number of posts on this topic, yet none completely matches the problems I'm having.
    Incoming Mail:
    My incoming e-mail is a pop account hosted by Earthlink. I am able to enter my data and get mail using a non wi-fi network.
    Outgoing Mail:
    When I use the generic AT&T outgoing server, it works, but then I am unable to get mail, and vice-versa. (I tried sending mail through the general web hosting server that Earthlink recommended (and works on my laptop when traveling away from home network, but it just spins.)
    Conflict:
    I am either able to send mail or receive mail, not both at once, thank-you-very-much.
    The settings and ports are unchanged. And, I can't figure out why one would affect the other considering they are two completely different settings.
    We're currently trying to set up a smtp.com or Google mail account, which is okay, but I would much rather solve this without any more links in the chain.
    Any suggestions? Will re-setting my iPhone completely help?

    Yes, thanks, was my first stop and very handy.
    Unfortunately, because my pop account is hosted/relayed at Earthlink, it did not identify the account as it would a stand-alone service. I tried using the basic Earthlink account info, but of course, my basic account does not have anything to do with my current business pop account. So after using the set-up assistant, I was back at square one.
    I was able to set up smtp.com successfully and am up and running.
    I just can't figure out why one setting would mess up another.

  • How to change my password and my incoming and outgoing mail servers

    Hi I have used Outlook Express for years and I know how to configure "everything" I need within the settings pages because their settings pages are all "logical" with everything out in the open.
    However, Thunderbird "hides" their settings behind buttons and confusing screens.
    There are many tutorials that explain how to set up Thunderbird from the beginning, and show how to set up a new email account. But I have not been able to find a tutorial on how to change my email account password "after" I have been using Thunderbird for awhile.
    I also see no way to change the incoming and outgoing servers. For example, I have changed from one hosting company to another hosting company and I need to use the new mail servers from the new hosting company and I do not see any tutorials anyplace that cover ongoing or day-to-day activities with Thunderbird.
    Can you please change your settings screens to make Thunderbird easier for new people to find these normal and necessary items?
    Also can you please point me to a tutorial that shows me how to change my email account password and change my incoming and outgoing servers?
    Thanks so much!
    Edward

    If you wan to create an account, you must the delete the existing account.
    So take backup of your emails if your using POP3
    Two ways you can do it
    *Copy all the emails to Local folder
    *Back up your Mail folder from your profile
