Evolution Outbox not sending

I have an issue with Evolution 2.26.3. I have a filter set up to take all incoming messages sent to my school address and forward a copy to my Gmail account. When a message is received Evolution moves a copy to the outbox, as expected. If manually press the Send/Receive button it goes. Otherwise ... it sits there. Even when Evolution checks (and receives) new mail it still sits there. When I manually compose or forward an email and hit sends it does just that - sends, and instaneously, too!
Anyone know WHY this is happening? Or more importantly, how to make the messages actually get without manually doing it?

Have you experienced any sending problems before with .Mac's SMTP server or is this a recent development?
This error message usually indicates the connection with the SMTP server is timing out for whatever reason.
Are you also accessing an email account and SMTP server provided by your internet service provider used for connecting to the internet with Entourage and if so, are you able to send messages with this account?
If yes to both, select/use your ISP's SMTP server to send messages with your .Mac account in the interim. I use my ISP's SMTP server to send messages with my .Mac account when connected to the internet at home.

Emails not sending, "stuck" in the outbox and no error message

I have been trying to send emails for a few days now and they will not send. They go to the outbox file and then the don't leave. There is no error message and my POP account, .mac account, and the smtp.mac.com are all working correctly. I can still receive mail. The emails don't get sent to the draft file.

What does “my POP account, .mac account, and the smtp.mac.com are all working correctly” mean? Which account has the problem? Those accounts are clearly not working correctly if you have this problem...
What does “The emails don't get sent to the draft file” mean? Which messages would you expect to be moved to Drafts and as a result of doing what?
I assume that the account is "online", i.e. Mailbox > Go Online appears disabled (grayed out), right? If that's the case, try this:
1. In Mail, move any messages waiting in Outbox to another mailbox (e.g. Drafts), to avoid losing them.
2. Quit Mail.
3. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/.
4. Locate Outbox.mbox and move it to the Trash.
5. Open Mail. A new (empty) Outbox.mbox will be created automatically. Check whether the problem is fixed.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library.

Greetings,
Questions:
1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
3. Do you use MobileMe/ iCloud or another server based sync solution like Google or Yahoo?
4. Do other changes to synced information like Address Book content sync successfully back and forth?
Based on your description it sounds like you have a 1 way sync issue. Events sync fine between the iOS devices and fine from the computer to the iOS devices but not from the iOS devices to the computer.
Try:
Backup your computer and iOS devices before doing anything else:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Ensure all the devices in use are fully up to date: Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update
Make separate backups of critical data:

Mail from apps stuck in outbox, can not send or move

This is weird ... So I can send and receive email just fine on all my mail accounts but when I try and send a link from safari or a picture from the photos app it never sends. I don't hear a whoosh sound after sending and when I look in the mail app the message is just sitting there in the outbox.
Even weirder is that I can forward these messages but can not send them. I can't even move the messages since my only choices are the trash or the outbox. Even worse the outbox doesn't show up at all on my mac when i sync, so these messages are stuck in my iphone somewhere in limbo.
... anyone else have this problem or know how to solve it?

The same occurs with all accounts, or with one account in particular?
Even weirder is that I can forward these messages but can not send them.
Forward these new messages from where? You can forward a received message or a message that was successfully sent which will be located in the account's Sent mailbox, but you can't forward a newly composed message.
Even worse the outbox doesn't show up at all on my mac when i sync, so these messages are stuck in my iphone somewhere in limbo.
Email account mailboxes and messages and the iPhone's Outbox are not included with the iTunes sync process. Server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account, but the Outbox mailbox with the Mail.app on your Mac and with the iPhone's Mail application is not synced with anything.

And, you are sure you have provided the correct username and password for you email account? I'm not familiar with Virgin media, so you might contact their tech support to find out why you are having a problem sending mail but none receiving mail. I assume your mail account has always been POP3 and not IMAP. Typically, the outgoing mail servers are not the same for the different types of account service.

Why are my emails getting caught in my outbox and not sending?

Why are my emails getting caught in my outbox and not sending?

This started happening to me immediately after updating to 10.9.3. None of the suggestions that I could find through Google (orotherwise) helped at all. Mail.app simply does not try to empty the outbox. I would call AppleCare, but they'll just tell me that the software is fine and that it's unreasonable for me to expect to be able to send email.
Apple support is a dim shadow of it's former self, but it correctly reflects teh state of Apple development. I picked a horrible time to switch to Mac.

You may consider putting the phone in Airplane Mode (Settings -> Airplane Mode or pull up from bottom of screen and tap the airplane icon if on iOS 7), then going to your outbox in Mail and swiping to delete.

Messages in Outbox (email) will not send. Getting error message.....

Lately I cannot get any messages in my email outbox to send (pics I take, then forward through email). I keep getting an error message, "A copy has been placed in your mailbox. The sender address "xxxx" was rejected by the server." It is the same email address (also apple id) for comcast I have used for years and it always worked before. Can anyone help me solve this problem? Running version 6.1.3 software. I am so frustrated.....

Thanks for your answer. Apprciate it very much. Just prior to receiving your email, I got back online. However, as I had tried what you suggested (and a lot more as I am 'reasonably' competent), and had been so doing since yesterday afternoon, I do believe that what you suggested was correct - that it was my third rate ISP that was at fault.
Nevertheless, many thanks once again.

Cannot send email via AOL on iPad2 - "A copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed."

My CEO has an ipad2 and I set it up w/ AOL. She cannot send any email via her AOL account from her iPad. She gets a message that says "A copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed." We've tried it on wifi and on 3G (Verizon version). I've removed the account and added it, I've tried setting it up as an IMAP account vs. using Apples standard AOL mail setting and nothing seems to work. The SMTP settings are smtp.aol.com, port 587. I've tried adding an alternate server/smtp, but I haven't been able to find anything that works. Any advice or other people having this issue? It works fine sending an email from her aol web mail. And unfortunately, having her sign up for a gmail account is not an option. Thanks

Interesting. Firstly I have been on AOL since the early 90s with no current intention to switch as my primary personal email account.
I have two email accounts on my iphone - AOL and my email from my business website. I deleted both and then recreated first the business account and then the AOL account. Same error. Then I wasn't sure what you suggested but I turned off the AOL SMTP server and selected the business email SMTP server by turning it on with the same result. I still get the error "A Copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the mssage content to the server failed."
Perhaps this problem will get fixed by IOS 6. AOL will not talk to me unless I pay and Apple says its not their problem. So for the time being I use the AOL web interface in the iPhone's Safari to send emails from the phone.

Ipad not sending email, forced to reboot for changes to apply

Hi all
I was asked to look at a friends two week old iPad today.
It was set up for them last week.
Initially the person setting it up tried to add a Gmail account but found that it would receive but not send emails (using the native email app).
They then decided to open an outlook.com account and use that instead of the gmail account.
This worked fine for two days but then error messages saying that the mail could not be sent started to pop up. It struck me that the speed with which the error message appeared after clicking send suggested that this was an iOS issue rather than the server rejecting anything.
I tried to check the imap/smtp settings in the "control panel" but they were not available (read:visible) so I deleted the account and entered the settings manually.
It still wouldn't send emails but this time it didn't throw up any error messages, instead it decided to just dump them in the outbox without notifying me that there was an issue.
Suspecting that the issue was with the ipad rather than the outlook servers, I decided to use my own smtp server details. Initially I tried using SSL but when this too failed I switched to the unsecure version on port 25.
It still wouldn't send anything so I eventually rebooted by holding down the power button until the power off slider appeared. On rebooting I discovered that I could now send emails.
TBH I have no idea if using the different SMTP server will be an issue if they ever want to check their outlook.com "sent mail" on line or not but i do have some questions
1. Why was the reboot necessary? I had closed all open, unnecessary apps by double tapping the home button Might it have been the case that manually entering the outlook.com settings would have worked (given that the ideal set up would be to use the SSL outlook servers).
2. Is this an unresolved iOS7 problem. Google searches resulted in many owners complaining that the iOS7 upgrade had rendered their email accounts incapable of sending emails. TBH the advice given ranged from perhaps sensible to plain daft.
3. can anyone using outlook.com as their email provider on iOS7 confirm which smtp server, port, etc they use?
4. Are there better email apps that actually give you detailed feedback?
i don't know when I will next get the chance to get my hands on their ipad again but I would rather that they were using the correct outgoing servers with encryption (rather than my unencrypted smtp server).
Thanks in advance

Do BT engineers monitor these forums?

Hi again Neil.
Your extra info now to me means that it appears to be problem at the client end!
I hope you don't mind me asking a few questions ....
Is she a regular BT Broadband user with a normal BTinternet email address ? Does she use secondary email addresses ?
Do you know if she can happily email other people ? If not - it could be an account problem which may last a few days ....
If you don't wish to provide the complete bounce message you received, could you perhaps email me the detail (emailing me using my shortcuts). Also pehaps you could ask your client to email me via my shortcuts, and see what happens and I'll take a look at replying to see what happens.
The user on shentel.net domain she's been trying to email, did she ever manage to send any emails initially ? It could be the destination user having a problem.
The mods do monitor these forums, but there are a lot of posts to go through of course ......
