Suddenly and for no apparent reason one of my servers stopped working on my phone and now I cant send emails. All ok on my macbook though.
I have 4 email addresses and they work of 2 mail servers, 1 is fine and the other isnt.
I am really not very computer and techno minded so please talk nicely to me!
Thanks

I have snow leopard. Using iCloud, I can receive email on my mac, but, suddenly, I am no longer able to send email from the mac. I can send it from iCloud online. Any thoughts on how to regain the abilty to send email from my mac? Thanks.
Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

Hi everyone
I am having issues with my emails that I have set up on my Mac Book Pro.
I am able to receive them fine, but the SMPT server now won't send any.
This has happened in the past and I have just deleted the email account, and re-started it... which works fine, until 1 day then it suddenly stops sending again.
I'm fed up doing this however and want it sorted for good.
Does anyone have any ideas? Greatly appreciated!
StuartThere are only two things that I can suggest.
The first is to try the Mail Setup Assistant.
The other is giving Mozilla's Thunderbird a shot - setup the account and see if it will work with this free email app. I don't like Mail at all - and it gives some people fits around here (I don't know how many times people have posted about problems with outgoing servers using Mail).
Try both methods - I don't use Mail - I use MS's Outlook (and, before that, Entourage). If the Setup Assistant offers no relief, just try Thunderbird and see if it works with it.
Good luck,

Sound works fine on all programs, but has suddenly stopped on Apple Mail. No "submarine" sound when I send or receive email. I checked the settings in "Preferences" in Apple Mail and it is set to "submarine" as the sound. Any help?
deleted previously imported key chain originated from the previous system (why doesn't apple provide a migration for my key chain?). after the deletion mail can receive and send again and dreamweaver starts without hanging.

Iphone 5 stopped receiving SMS but can still send
My iphone 5
is only 3 weeks old and was working perfectly right up until one week agao. It stopped receiving SMS yet can still send them iMessage works fine in both directions. Is there anything I can do to be able to receive SMS as I am travelling and not always on wifi?
ThanksWell, I got it to work (of course, after hours of trying I get it just after posting this).
Here is what I did if anyone else runs into this problem:
1. Turned on my Apple ID email address for Send & Receive.
2. Turned off text forwarding on all devices.
3. Restarted all devices.
4. Turned text forwarding back on but did not turn off my Apple ID email address.
.... and then it worked. Not thrilled that I need to keep my Apple ID turned on for Send & Receive, but there is my solution.
If anyone has discovered that you don't need your Apple ID turned on to send/receive, please let me know. -
Suddenly I can't send email, but I can receive it!!
I'm getting messages 'can't send email' since this morning. I'm receiving email OK. I'm with BT mail. I haven't changed any settings.
Any help greatly appreciated.My email still keeps dropping off. It's fine for ages then suddenly get the same message 'Can't send email. Check settings'
I do a reboot on the phone and that seems to reset the connection. But why do I have to keep doing this? -
Suddenly cannot send email but can receive email
I am running OSX 10.8.2 on a MacPro desktop. I have been using Mail sucessfuly since I originally installed Mountain Lion but now it suddenly has stopped working. I have confirmed and reconfirmed my SMPT settings but have failed to send any mail. I sucessfully sent an email one week ago and have not completed any updates since. Suddenly "Mail" has taken a vacation and refused to send any mail. This has failed using POP, SMPT, EXCHANGE and IMAP.
I am now getting an error message indicating:
"The sender address [email protected] was rejected by the server smtp.gmail.com.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent."
I have confirmed my settings are correct with my service providers. I get this message from all of the email accounts that I use. I know the mail settings are right because I can send mail from these accounts using my iPhone,iPad, and Widows laptop without issues.
Attempting to change ports as suggested in previous posts has worked on one "send" test email but has refused to operate since. I noticed that "Mail" will sometimes unilaterally change the outgoing server addresses on it own.
The same issues come up when I tried to configure MS Oultlook:MAC 2011 tehrefore I suspect a problem originating with Mountain Lion and not the email clients.
I checked for APPLE updates to my system and everything comes back as completely current with no updates available. Any ideas?Hello,
All dot.Mac and Dot.Me account have migrated to iCloud.
You should have been given details of expiry for the .Mac account to iCloud. Apple have now shut .Me and .Mac account for web access.

iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1.2 stopped receiving mail yesterday. Have yahoo email account. Can still send emails. Have turned device off/on. Have done the dual off/on thing using top button and menu button. Issue seems to be only with main inbox, as sub folders are receiving mail. Other Apple device is not having issues like this, just on iPhone.

Your issue is with the Yahoo email account which is notoriously bad.
you can try deleting and reinstalling the email account.
If that doesn't fix it try the yahoo email app. -
For years I have been using [email protected] for business.
It is on my business cards, stationary and most of my closest correspondences are maintained off of that email.
The documentation I've read indicates aliases should be transferred over as part of this iCloud migration but this does not seem to be the case. My account now shows 3of3 aliases available but I'm still able to receive messages addressed to the alias. I can no longer send emails from this alias.
How do I get this corrected?
Ali,

The iPad's Mail app has no provisions for creating groups. However, you canuse a third party app that many users recommend.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Exchange 2007 - User's mailbox disappeared in EMC but they can still send and receive email
We have a user that was complaining about not being in the address book anymore. After I did a little rooting around in management console I noticed that their mailbox was no longer listed under Recipient Configuration -> Mailbox, but what's weirder
is I can do a search and find her listed in the results - at which point I can right-click her name and do everything I normally can with no problem. Listing all of the mailboxes with PS shows her still there too. As far as I know, she is the only user
having this problem.
She can send and receive email just fine, but like I said, she is no longer in the global address list so other users have trouble sending her stuff. At her computer, I tried repairing her email (under account settings) but the process would fail when
searching for her settings. I don't know if this is a stupid thing to add, but I did run Clean-MailboxDatabase on our first storage group to see if her mailbox had been deleted or disconnected or whatnot but nothing is currently showing up in Recipient
Configuration -> Disconnected Mailbox.
Some info on our setup:
Exchange 2007 on Windows Server 2003r2
AD is on Windows Server 2008r2
Her computer is running Outlook 2010
I did restart our Exchange server 2 days ago to update VMWare tools, but no Windows updates were installed. She couldn't tell me exactly when this problem started, but it was more-than-likely in the last couple of days as she was recently married and
I had to change her name in AD and Exchange - so everything was confirmed 100% functioning 2-3 weeks ago.
I'm at a lost for what the issue could be, but then again Exchange isn't exactly my forte, so any help would be much appreciated.First things first - is her mailbox hidden from address lists? Run
Get-Mailbox <alias> | Fl HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled to find out. It probably isn't, but we need to clear this, just in case.
Now, assuming it is not hidden, have you searched for both her maiden and married names in your directory? Often, when the name on a mailbox is changed, the display name is not - and vice versa. Also, has her email address also changed?
If so, has a secondary proxy address been added to reflect her maiden name? I'd do this, just to be sure things aren't lost that should be delivered to her.
I can't think of anything else obvious right now. After you've checked these things, get back to us with their results. -
I am unable to send emails using apple mail, but can still receive
A very odd situation this. I have a couple of POP3 accounts and an Exchange server account. All was going well until a few days ago when all my accounts stopped sending mail, but still continued to receive mail. I have removed each account and restored it but this hasn't worked, the timer is constantly spinning against the 'Sent' header. All these accounts work in their webmail version so I have to conclude the fault is with Apple Mail. Can anyone help please? Thanks.
