Email's for MobileMe Account stuck in outbox for Mail.app

I upgraded to OS X Lion and have had the usual issues everyone else has had.  I've followed everyone's advice to fix them all, but now I've developed this new one.  I can't send emails anymore from my MobileMe account on my Mac.  The emails get stuck in the outbox and never send.  If I post them to the drafts in the Mail.app, and then go through Safari into the MobileMe Account, I can send the email out without a problem.  Just not from the Mail.app.  Can anyone shed some light on this one?  I'll post any data log you may need, I just don't know where to look for an answer.  Thanks.
On a 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5 MBP 15", running 10.7, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 ram cache.

The new update 10.7.1 resolved the issue and I am now able to send and receive emails from my MBP at home.  Please disregard this entire post series. Problem solved.

  • Not receiving email to my MobileMe account from one specific domain

    Starting 2 days ago I stopped receiving email addressed to my "@mac.com" or "me.com" account from one specific domain. Prior to that I had no problem receiving email from that domain. I have no problems receiving email into my MobileMe accounts from many other senders. People with email addresses under this domain can send emails to my Gmail account from the same origination account and they come through just fine. The emails that do not appear are not in my junk mail and they never get "bounced back" to the sender as undeliverable.
    I use Mail under Leopard 10.5.4 with all updates installed.
    It sounds to me like this domain has been "blacklisted" by Apple but I have never heard of them doing this.
    Any suggestions would appreciated.

    petervan 58,
    Just this one person? Your .mac account is getting mail from others OK? Does the person have your email address correct on their phone.

  • Gmail emails sending out of wrong account without my knowledge in Mail app

    I'm having problems with my Mail app sending out emails out of the wrong Gmail account. This was happening to me in Mountain Lion amongst other Mail app headaches, and I was able to fix it after weeks and weeks of troubleshooting. In Mavericks, the Mail app was mostly working correctly.
    When I updated to Yosemite (did a clean install), I thought my Mail app was working correctly. At the end of November, I had some iCloud issues asking for passwords for all my apps. I had to remove iCloud in System Preferences and I added it back on. Anyway, here is my issue:
    1. I have three gmail accounts, let's called them: primary@gmail, subscription@gmail and business@gmail. Over a year ago, I removed the business@gmail from the Mail app because the job was done. The primary@gmail and subscription@gmail were the only active gmail accounts I had in my Mail app.
    2. The beginning of December, I sent some emails out of [email protected] and the emails were in my Sent folder in the Mail app so I knew they were sent out. I didn't receive any responses to my emails and began to wonder. It wasn't until a friend emailed me on my personal@gmail and asked if I was using my business@gmail account again because he said I haven't responded to any of his emails he sent there.
    3. I went into business@gmail in webmail and there were all the emails responses. I forwarded them to my primary@gmail account and in the Mail app I looked at View>Message>Raw Source and I saw that the emails first tried to use my SMTP from primary@gmail but ended up using my business@gmail account which was no longer active in the Mail app. So when the people hit "Reply" to my emails they were sent to business@gmail in webmail.
    What bothers me a lot is that I was not notified by the Mail app that the business@gmail SMTP would be used and I deleted the business@gmail from the Mail app over year ago so I didn't even think of it. 
    I went through my Mail Preferences Account Information and looked at Edit SMTP List. I had all these Gmail SMTPs there so I deleted all of them to start fresh. I left the iCloud SMTP info as it was.
    When I tried to add a new Gmail account in System Preferences under Internet Accounts, it would only allow me to add one Gmail account and not another Gmail account. After a few tries, I was finally able to add the second Gmail account. I did go and look at Accounts in the Mail Preferences and I properly assigned the two Gmail accounts to only use the Gmail SMPT that is assigned to it.
    Here are my questions.
    Do I need to do anything else to make sure that the Gmail accounts in Mail app settings remain as they are and this doesn't happen again. I've made sure that business@gmail is not in my Previous Recipients or in my Contacts.
    I've noticed that the SMTP for iCloud is listed as "None" some of the time and I have to keep selecting iCloud over and over again. I'm hesitate to remove iCloud from my Mail app because I had to do this at the end of November when I had the iCloud password thing happen and I had a big problem getting my Notes data back.
    If I remove the Mail.plist in Users Library, would I have to go through all the settings in Gmail webmail and Mail App or would some of the settings be there? 
    Any help would be appreciated.  

    You set it up, and you failed to distinguish between the SMTP servers or assign the correct one to your copy of Mail (it doesn't actually know which is which, you need to inform it)
    Open Mail>Preferences>Accounts (NOT Mail>Accounts) and go down to the SMTP server list, choose the correct server for each account then check the box that says 'Use Only This Server' for each account.
    This is not automatic, you get to choose and if you don't then this will result.
    Remove the non functional ones.

  • Email I was trying to forward was stuck in outbox for hours. Unable to stop it attepmting to send or delete it.

    After having over a month of trouble-free use with my new iphone 4 on Verizon, I had a problem while traveling over the weekend that I could not figure out.
    I was in a strong signal area with good 3G coverage and went to forward an email that was received shortly before on my Charter account. ( a pop 3 account). The iphone went to send/forward the email and it would never leave the outbox. The progress bar on the bottom said "sending" and the circular activity indicator just kept spinning. Once in the screen showing the outbox the "edit" button in the upper right hand corner was grayed-out. I could not touch on the email to try to highlight it.
    So I tried to force-quit the email app and then restart it-same thing. I tried to shut the phone off for a few minutes and restart it-same thing. I held the home button down for several seconds while in the outbox-all I got was voice control. I put the phone in airplane mode for a half hour and then back to normal operation-same problem.
    I then decided to try to send another email with the same account, hoping it would purge the stuck email from the outbox- the new email sent properly and the older one that I had been trying to forward was still stuck.
    So after about 6 hours I went back inot the outbox for the 20th time and the email was still stuck, still trying to send, but this time the "edit" button was NOT grayed-out. I was then able to hit "edit", select the stuck email from the outbox, and delete it. It never got forwarded.
    Over the course of those 6 hours I traveled to another major city (by car) that also had great signal strength and 3G coverage and the phone was still unable to forward that email (it was stuck trying to send)
    Please help! I love my new iphone, but that really freaked me out.

    What happends when you press the Home button?  If nothing, try resetting your iPad by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • TS3899 How to fix Sent emails getting stuck in Outbox for a period of time before being sent?

    How do you fix Sent emails getting s tuck in Outbox for a period of time before they actually send?
    The error message says that my "sender address is rejected by the server", but it eventually does send.

    Have you tried a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!

  • Microsoft Outlook 2010 email stuck at outbox, the mail will successful send out after you restart the outlook

    Dear Mdm/Sir,
    I've a problem on Microsoft outlook 2010 with service pack 2.
    Sometime it cannot send out email, the email will stuck at outbox.  It only work after you restart the outlook and resend.
    I've add the 2 email account into this Outlook profiles and running at Windows 7 professional Operating system.
    I've try run the Outlook into safe mode, but it can't solve the problem too.
    I also create a new email profile and user profile, but still cannot solve the problem.
    Please help,
    Thank you,

    Can you please check onto the Exchange server, the Outbox folder size and Items in it. Use the below command to verify the Outbox folder.
    Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -Identity <Alias> -FolderScope Outbox
    Look out for ItemsInFolder and FolderSize. If it displays content in it, you would need to remove the emails from the Outbox Folder. The Outbox folder can be accessed from the OWA light version.

  • Any fix for mail stuck in outbox in Mail 5.1 (using Exchange Server 2010)?

    Every couple of days I will notice that mail hasn't been sending from my Exchange email account in Apple's Mail 5.1.  There doesn't seem to be any issues on the server side so it is probably something on my side of things.
    I have checked my settings with our Exchange Server representatives and everything should be fine.  The 'stuck' messages will send only if I take the account offline temporarily, move the messages to a draft folder, bring the account back on line and then drop the messages one by one back into the outbox.
    First, I had to 'unhide' the Outbox just to notice the problem.  Now, the outbox doesn't even show the unsent messages unless I take the account offline temporarily.
    Anyone find a solution to this?

    UNfortunately, the only "clue" I now have is that the emails get sent ONLY when I restart my computer!
    This morning, I had a similar problem on my Mac Pro, but it was solved by quitting the Mail app. Not so this afternoon on my MacBook Pro. I had to restart.
    This laptop has much less space left upon the HD than does my MacPro. But I must add, the problems on both have been getting worse over the last two days or so.
    So, I am not encouraged.
    As far as I can tell, I too have only been using one server--but the connection doctor does show two.
    I have tried with both, with no difference in performance.
    I am one of the people who had a dot.mac account from many years ago. I opted to continue with this, instead of going to the dot.me naming. By some strange chance, it that your situation, too?
    At the moment, I can think of nothing else to try. Let's hope we solve this, for I think it bad for the computers to have to restart just to answer an email.

  • TS4002 my emails on my MobileMe account /only shows 1 day.  how do I get the older one

    My older emails are missing.  How do I get them back

    You don't have a MobileMe account - nobody does: MobileMe closed in July. Did you migrate your account to iCloud before 1 August? if so, and you are signed in in System Preferences>iCloud then you should be able to send and receive emails to your ex-MobileMe address perfectly well. If you are not seeing older emails there, then start by checking the Mail page at http://icloud.com
    If you did not migrate your account you are trying to connect to a server which no longer exists: all emails, and indeed everything else in the account, were deleted on 1 August and are not recoverable by any means. You can reactivate the address (though not its previous contents) by signing in with it in System Preferences>iCloud and enabling Mail in the checklist there.

  • "Apple ID cannot be used for MobileMe" when setting up Find My iPhone app

    Okay, folks, spent some time with MobileMe support via chat this morning. This is what I've learned. Apparently you CANNOT use an Apple ID, regardless of what format it's in (usually a full email address) AS LONG AS IT'S ASSOCIATED WITH A MOBILE ME (ME.COM ADDRESS) ACCOUNT THAT IS CLOSED OR NO LONGER ACTIVE. Unfortunately, there is no way to disassociate the two and there is no way the old MobileMe (me.com address) account can be deleted.
    Apparently, I had some issue when I was trying out the MobileMe for the trial period many months ago and for some reason couldn't use my primary Apple ID (my primary email address), so I created a me.com address for the MobileMe account. Eventually, I cancelled the MobileMe account because the cost wasn't justified for the features it offered. Unfortunately, that association with my primary Apple ID is permanent and THAT is the source of the "This Apple ID canot be used for MobileMe" error. Or at least that's ONE reason for it.
    The solution? Create a completely new, separate Apple ID using a valid email address from which you can receive a verification email. The address is NOT used to receive any further emails from Apple. Only to create logon credentials. Do NOT associate this email address with your current/primary Apple ID or any other Apple ID. This is what you use to set up Find My iPhone/iPad, etc. using the MobileMe setup in Settings>Mail/Contacts/Calendars as well as the Find My iPhone App (plus it's your logon to the MobileMe Find My iPhone web page).
    When you log in to the MobileMe page, BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU ENTER YOUR APPLE ID IF IT'S A FULL EMAIL ADDRESS: apparently, the ID field automatically tries to change it to "[email protected]" instead of your "[email protected]". Just check it before and after you enter your Apple ID password and submit.
    I did this and it works. Find My iPhone app and service works beautifully. Spotted my iPad right where I'm at on a map. I sent a message to my iPad via the service (which also offers the option to play a sound, lock the device or even wipe the device).
    I hope this information helps SOMEONE.
    Oh...interesting footnote: I was informed that APPLE IDs CANNOT BE DELETED. Even if you create a "test" Apple ID (like I did during our troubleshooting session) with some barely used email account using a weak password. That means, regardless of whether you use it or not for MobileMe/Find My iPhone, you really, really need to give it a SECURE password (if you're going to keep that email account alive). So yeah, there are a lot of dormant Apple IDs floating around out there!

    I agree.
    I found this 'bug' out the other day when getting ready for my new iPhone I was setting up my iPad with some new apps too and wanted to work with Find My iPhone.
    Here's the deal; my main AppleID is just a simple 'Username' not a '[email protected]' AppleID.
    I've had this since the need for AppleIDs were used for these forums and the iTunes Store, AppStore, etc.
    So it works fine and well with that stuff but not with find my iphone on my iPad as it wants a full email account, either a '@me.com' or a '[email protected]' AppleID which I did create but I think it was used as Job profile or something other along those lines (NOT used for a MobileMe account or .mac either).
    And I only have access to one email now and I dont feel comfortable having multiple email addresses that I dont check or have no use for, call my simple or naive but thats just how it goes.
    What I'd like to do is be able to use either AppleID for my Find My iPhone app and everything else.
    And I think thats a good point, '@me.com's for all. make it a whole lot easier in my opinion.
    merge all the apple accounts you created into a MobileMe, simplifies the situation and makes it easier connect to all Apple Services.
    My itunes account, apple.com store account, appstore account, main AppleID for the past couple years it "Maxwell Stanley" but it does NOT work with Find My iPhone. So i created [email protected] (example.com is in place of my true email domain for privacy reasons) and that doesnt work as it statse it Cannot Be used.
    My 'Maxwell Stanley" Apple ID's email associated with it was [email protected] i tried changing it to [email protected] but still doesnt recognize that as an AppleID even though its associated with "Maxwell Stanley".
    I event ried to use the SAME email that is associated with my 2nd AppleID '[email protected]' with the appleid 'Maxwell Stanley' and no dice.
    running out of options it seems.
    Any idea on the best solution?
    Thank you!

  • Create multiple MobileMe accounts within Mac OS  X Mail?

    Hi, I want to create a separate ACCOUNT for my me.com mail alias in Mac OS X Mail so that when a message arrives, I will hear the "ding" arrival sound. Currently, for organizational purposes, I am redirecting the alias' mail to a separate MAILBOX, but by doing this there is no "ding" sound upon arrival of that alias' mail. Can MobileMe e-mail aliases not be set up as separate accounts within Mac OS X Mail? I work from home so the arrival sound is very important to me. Please help, friends!
    Is there a way to attach a screen shot here?

    What order are the rules running in?, do the notification first then the move, I have a rule that does just that (for email from my son, so it doesn't get a huge amount of work) but when one arrives I get a notification, a change of color on the text and a move to a seperate folder.

  • Items or messages shared from within apps by email don't get sent but sit in the Mail app outbox until sent manually.

    Many apps, including the Photos app, allow many options for sharing or social networking. When I select to send by the Mail app the message never gets sent as I would expect, but remains in the Mail Outbox until I remember to drill down to the Outbox and send it manually.
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Is this normal?
    Is there a 'Setting' that causes this?
    Why doesn't the message just go?
    Hope you can help.

    I've been having similar issues with my iPhone 5 and the latest iOS version.  I read somewhere else about an issue with having Exchange and Imap in use with Mail being an issue.  I had both, but had my Exchange connection to Gmail off.  I was still having the issue.
    The solution that worked was to delete my Exchange Gmail account.  Now, emails are being sent immediately.  If you have Exchange and Imap Gmail accounts on your iPhone, pick one and delete the other.  Good luck.

  • Have MobileMe account, have 2008 iMac, have rosetta apps, have snow leopard, don't want Lion, have to have iCloud after June?

    Hello All,
    I have a MBP running Lion and its fine. I have an iPhone 4, iPad, and a family pack MobileMe account. I have a 2008 iMac that has Final Cut Pro and several other rosetta apps. The iMac is running snow leopard and I don't have any issues to complain about. Since I will be forced to move to iCloud in June if I choose to keep my account I am trying to figure out how to procede with my iMac. I find it annoying that Apple is in a sense forcing MobileMe subscribers to purchase an OS update (Lion $69.00) or at worst a newer computer (Lion will not run on pre-core 2 duo) if we want to "sync" our devices and continue to pay for mobileme services. On top of that, by forcing people to update to Lion to get iCloud, they are forcing people to lose support for any rosetta applications that they have an investment in.
    I know about the rosetta install on Lion trick - (installing rosetta on a Lion machine from a snow leopard disc). I was lucky to have a snow leopard disc, so I could install rosetta on my MBP to have support for Final Cut Pro 6.
    So, is there any hope of sync services with snow leopard on my iMac while moving my family MobileMe account to iCloud? So far, there seems to be alot of problems with iCloud syncing from what I have read. So in order to keep everything in sync (contacts, iCal, mail, etc.) with iCloud on all my devices (iPhone, MBP, iMac) I will have to buy a Lion install drive for the iMac and re-install rosetta and re-install all those applications as well....
    Any thoughts ? 

    Consider running your Adobe and AppleWorks software in Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) installed in Parallels in Lion or Mt. Lion:

  • How do I make it so my gmail account on my computer and online shows the same emails that are showing in the inbox of the mail app?

    Every time I look online at my gmail account the inbox there is compleatly different than when I look on the Iphone mail app under my gmail account. I have tried syncing the account multiple times and have had no result. I can't seem to get the messages that are really in my gmail inbox to appear on my iphone gmail account.

    I have a gmail account as well as an email account with my ISP Ozemail.  The mail setup on the iPhone is such that when I check mail using the iPhone mail app I see all of the mail that was sent to both accounts.  Likewise when I look at gmail on my computer I have gmail set up there so that any mail sent to the Ozemail account appears in the gmail inbox.  When I send mail from my phone it appears in the outbox on the phone as well as the outbox in gmail on my computer.  On the computer I made sure that in gmail settings I have engaged the checking of mail from other accounts using Pop3.

  • Can't move emails from one account to another in native Mail app IOS 7.0.3

    I can select an email and click on move, and MAIL looks like working (the animation seems to move the email to a different account folder) but indeed is not moving the email! This was working with the previous release of IOS
    Mail works if I try to move email to a folder belonging to the same account.
    I need to move email from my university account to my gmail to store it! And I can't create an alias in gmail because of my university (stupid) security policies.
    Thank a lot for your help.

    Hi Kobe Zhang
    Option 1:
    Your MSN account might be deleted but the eprintcenter wont be deleted along with it.
    You should be still able to login to eprintcenter account using the old msn id and the same old password for eprintcenter account which you used regularly.
    If you have forgot the password, i dont know how can you recover it. 
    If you get a chance to login then you can remove the printer from the old account and then claim it in your new account created usign hotmail ID.
    If you are not worried about changing your printers email ID, here is option 2.
    One more option is to de register the printer and register it again to cloud to get a new email address which can be used to claim the printer in your new account and then customize your email ID there. But be aware that you might not be able to set the same customised email ID which you have used in your old account.

  • Setting Find iPhone for one account and find Friends for another

    Hi
    Just updated one iPhone 5 to 8.1.1.  Previously I had find my iPhone for one .me account (I keep all the family devices under this .me account).
    For the Find Friends app I had used a second .me account so I could locate the phone.
    I can't recall how I configured this previously.  It seems settings wants to keep me locked on one account, not two.
    Thanks
    AS

    If you want to keep everything in sync, you need to set up your mail using IMAP. I'm not familiar with Sky as to whether they offer an IMAP option or its just pop, you'll have to check with them. If they don't offer an IMAP option, you can get a gmail account, set that up as IMAP and then forward your Sky emails to your gmail account.
