Email server offline

This problem began before upgrading to Mavericks but remains unchanged. My email server constantly responds "Mail was unable to connect to server “mail.speakeasy.net” using SSL on port 955. Verify that this server supports SSL and that your account settings are correct." My settings have been the same for several years and tech support on the server end confirms that they are correct, and on their web site, all email comes and goes as it should. I have an AOL account that works, a Road Runner account that works, and a Gmail account that sometimes goes offline but which can be coaxed back into service. But my two speakeasy accounts refuse to connect.
Any suggestions where I should look next?

multiple Comcast users started having this problem all of a sudden today.
Are you overseas this week? Several non-US IP addresses are trying to send as your account. It's possible your account was compromised. Try calling the Customer Security Assurance Department at (888) 565-4329 for help with resetting your password, if this doesn't work for you:

Upgraded to Yosemite outgoing email server offline BT

Since upgrading to Yosemite this weekend Mac Mail outgoing server is showing as offline. Using BT email account. Able to receive e-mails but cannot send. Have checked all settings and tried removing/ adding both e-mail accounts several times. Still same problem.
My daughter still able to send BT e-mails from BT accounts on her PC, my husband still able to send email via BT account using iPhone 4s which has not had recent upgrade. Also able to send email if I log directly into BT mail and use their system which could indicate Apple Mail/ Yosemite problem with BT account?
Any help, advice or comments would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
Debbie

I upgraded to Yosemite over a week ago and all was fine until yesterday when I started getting identical symptoms to those outlined by others.
Would it be possible for you (or someone else) to explain in more detail exactly how you deleted all your SMTP servers.
I have several listed . . . some are bt and some yahoo.

Email server offline when online

Hi
Can anyone help me with an email send issue? My email will not send because the smtp server keeps saying it's OFFLINE, but everything I check says that it is ONLINE.
I was using email from this same server through the same connection earlier today, and suddenly... I am getting the "Cannot send message using smtp.mac server." When I look at the servers to choose from they are ALL listing as OFFLINE. But when I check anything and everything else, I am told everything is online.
I can access the internet, I can RECEIVE email, I just can't send!
HELP!!!
(I am on OS 10.5.8, by the way and am a shifting MobileMe-to-iCloud user... though that may change soon...)

Hi,
Very hard to say actually because it depends on the Retry situation on your email client/agent. I would resend the email.
Just my 2 cents.

Mail server Offline\Slow sending

General Information
Okay so I have a mail account through my website's hosting company. For the sake of this post we'll say my site is FearMyRage.com making my email [email protected] I send mail over SSL, and all ports and settings are correct in the Mac mail client (this has been verified 3 times including by my mail provider). I’m currently running 10.7.5
I have been having issues as of late connecting to my host's mail server and or sending slowly but this only seems to happen in Mac Mail (on my Work Mac). I have no issues connecting or sending on my iphone, and on my home computer (pc). And the webmail appears to also work quickly. So I know it's not my host company's email server.
The Actual Issue
Generally what happens is mail will get stuck in my outbox regardless of its size. I've sent test messages with less than 1KB in size that will sit in my outbox for 2 minutes. And they will either send, or get stuck and I will be prompted with Mail server is offline message. I will click the "Bring all servers online" button but nothing happens. The only way to get rid of this error temporarily is to actually close Mac Mail and re-open it. This will usually fix the issue 50% of time. The other 50% of the time it just continues to prompt me with the server offline message.
Steps I Have Taken
I wanted to verify if this was an issue with just my machine or Mac Mail, so I tried installing Thunderbird. Interestingly I was unable to verify my credentials and could never actually set up a mail account in thunderbird. What I found significant about this was when thunderbird tried to probe the server for the correct information it would immediately stop after hitting test. I would hit test and I would receive an immediate rejection saying a connection could not be made. Now I've set up my fair share of email accounts and usually probing the server should take at least 5- 20 seconds. The instant rejection has me thinking that there's a security setting somewhere in the Mac that is denying connections to unknown/untrusted domains. And it's causing issues when I try to send out. And re-connect to the server.
Question:
Any ideas?

Who is the e-mail provider and is the account(s) IMAP or POP?

Report Distribution - Email Server Question

Hi guys.
I need to know if anyone is using the "Offline Distribution Wizard" for emailing reports?
We run BPC v5.1, and have an issue with sending these emails.
Basically, we have an email server, to which all of our clients connect. However, this cannot accept SMTP mail (the type that BPC sends).
Therefore, we have an email forwarding server (in our case a Domino server - Lotus Notes - But could just as easily be Exchange).
Anyway, from the tests that I have run, I set the BPC web server up on the Allow-List of the mail forwarding server, but it still failed to send the mails.
When I tried sending direectly from the server (installed an Excel client on the server and ran the wizard from there), it worked.
What I have now found is that BPC does not send the emails from the server, it simply sends the SMTP settings to the client and the client sends the email.
What this means is that I would have to add (and maintain) well oover 100 users on the Allow-List of the mail forwarding server.
This cannot be right?
Does anyone else have experience of dealing with this kind of environment, and how did you work around this issue (or did you simply give up)?
Thanks
Craig

Gave up trying to resolve this for now

HT2623 smtp server offline-please advise

icloud server offline, cannot send email from mac, will not allow me to change settings because incoming mail server field will not allow text to be entered

You should confirm that your incoming (IMAP) and outgoing (SMTP) servers are set up as detailed in this page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
There will usually be a 'pxx' number stuck on the front and you can ignore that. Please also always post your system when you have a qur=ery as it can make a considerable difference to the answer.

Can not send be-mail os10.9.4 server offline !!

can not send be-mail os10.9.4 server offline !!

Hey there mikeneiris,
It sounds like you are not able to send any emails because the account is showing as offline. I recommend these steps from the following article to help you get that going again:
Mail (Mavericks): If a mailbox is offline
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14925?viewlocale=en_US
To take an account online, click the lightning bolt icon. Or choose Mailbox > Online Status > Take [account name] Online, or Mailbox > Take All Accounts Online.
If you can’t take an account online, make sure you’re connected to the Internet. If a warning icon appears after the account name, click it for more information.
Use Connection Doctor
Some mailbox names can appear dimmed if you don’t have permission to access them, such as “public” mailboxes on a server, or if the mail server is unavailable.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

SMTP Server Offline

Hi all, OS X 10.8.3:
For some time, through several OS upgrades, Mail.app has been unable to create iCal reminders from appropriate date/time data. Not only does the reminder fail to appear in iCal, but Mail behaves bizarrely afterwards, necessitating quit and relaunch.
But now I have a much more annoying problem. I am told "SMTP Server offline". Initially, I assumed it was a temporary problem at my ISP's end. But then I realized that the oher Mac - on the same network - can still send.
Restart makes no idfference. DFA and Repair Permissions report no problems, while Techtool Pro finds hundreds of "bad" files.
Console generates this error message every 10 minutes... is there a clue here?
"16/04/2013 9:40:08.050 AM Mail[222]: [<_LibSasl2SASLClient: 0x7fb2dd8241b0> mechanism: PLAIN security layer: no] Failed to start the SASL connection
SASL(-1): generic failure: "
Thanks.

I have found the solution.
One of the settings under Mail.app's Preferences, Accounts, Advanced pane is "Use SSL?" This must be left UNchecked for my ISP. The confusing thing is, it WAS left unchecked.
I had a new email being composed, and decided to open the pull-down SMTP List at the bottom of the email dialog's header. I selected "Edit SMTP List" and then highlighted the troublesome entry. Under the Advanced tab, was the setting "Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)" and it was selected!
I.e. despite being set to OFF in the Preferences dialog, it was ON in the "SMTP List" dialog.
This would seem to be a bug. Anyone know how to report this to Apple?

Mobile me server offline

I am having problems emailing pictures from my computer. Says server offline. Help

Mobile Me no longer exists apple have shutdown the servers to Mobile Me since the transition to iCloud. If you go to me.com you can see they have closed down the site. Try logging into iCloud on your Mac through System Preferences (an update may be required) or if your mac is not compatible login at iCloud.com where you can view your email and then set up a new account in mail and it will renew the servers to iCloud.

I am heading overseas shortly for 10 weeks and would like to suspend my iMac desktop email account but receive emails on my iPad. Will taking my email account offline do this? Fozzee46

I am heading overseas shortly for 10 weeks and would like to suspend my email account on my imac desktop but still receive my emails on my ipad while away. If I take my desktop computer emails offline, will this do it for me.
Fozzee46

You may have to contact your email provider or ISP, though you may be able to set up the email account to be used via the portable device you could carry with you in your travels, but access may vary, depending on the data plan you have, if cellular based; if not try a web-mail based account such as gmail and see if your other mail can be forwarded so you can check it via browser online.
I'm sure there are some options, ones I'd probably not consider. You may find that if your iPad and Mac desktop share an account or sync, email would still be in the Mac's account once it gets back online to the email server.
Some variables likely exist, so beyond this, I won't speculate further.
Good luck in this and safe travels!

TS3276 I cannot connect to my outgoing email server on my macBook pro, yet I can, for the same email account on my iPad. Also I can send emails from the other email account I have on my MacBook...really confused can anyone help?

Sometimes deleting the account and then re-creating it can solve this issue
Write down all the information in accounts before doing this
Highlight the account on the left and click the minus button
Then click the plus button to add the new account and follow the prompts

How to set up SAPconnect with email server

Hi,
Does any one know <b>how to set up SAPconnect with email server</b>
We are using workflow and when it fails it we are sending the notification mail to the user on his company mail id, i.e. [email protected]
This is working in the current production system. We are doing the new development which will replace the current production system. The existing Basis team does not know how it was setup in production system and how to set it up in the new system.
When we send any mail notification from workflow we can see the mail in SCOT transaction but it is not received at the specified mail address.
Can any one provide the configuration steps or any document for this.
Thanks in advance..

I have an iPhone and use Roadrunner as my email server. When I open RR it gives me 4 choices, inbox, drafts, sent and trash. I would like to add saved, how can I do this. I contacted RR and they said it is an Apple problem to solve.

Roadrunner is POP email, and the feature you are looking for
is a function of IMAP email. Roadrunner has not announced
any plans to make IMAP available. If this is important to you,
get a gmail account (which can be setup as IMAP) and configure
your Roadrunner account to automatically forward emails to the
gmail account.

Using nsMail email server, works fine in ns email tool, as of yesterday TBird 31.3.0 can not send or receive email. Have verified all setting for IMAP/SMTP OK.

Will not retrieve incoming emails. When I try to send one, error message appears: "Sending of message failed.
The message could not be sent using SMTP server smtp.ullisart.com for an unknown reason. Please verify that your SMTP server settings are correct and try again, or contact your network administrator." I have checked all IMAP/SMTP settings and they are fine. I can receive and send emails to the same address via the email server provider's email tool. Using nsMail, WIndows8, Firefox, latest version of TBird. All worked fine two days OK and have made no known changes to computer installation since.

ExchangeITPro,
Thank you for your reply.
>what SP are you at?
As noted in the first paragraph: "We have an Exchange 2010 server, running under Windows 2008R2. Both
the server and Exchange are current for Windows and Exchange updates. Exchange is on SP3 installed about a month ago with no errors reported in the event logs."
>try restarting the transport services.
Done previously as well as the entire server. No change.
