Firmware upgrade stopped mail from sending emails

since i had the firmware upgrade Ive had problems sending email using the Mail programme.
Nothing i have tried has fixed this issue and ive scoured the net looking for a resolution.
Has anyone else had this problem and how have you fixed it.
Im a bit of an idiot when it comes to technical stuff so a for dummies explanation would go down really well.
cheers

sorry for the late reply
I can receive mail but no SMTP servers will send out mail and i have tried four different ones including my ISP's
I have also tried another mail package (thunderbird) and im getting the same problem.
I have been unable to send mail on my mac now for months.
Does anyone have any idea how i can rectify this - no changes have been made to my router settings so its not a firewall issue.

  • How to stop ical from sending email notifications for updates on my share ical calendar

    Is it possible stop ical from sending email notifications for updates I make on my share ical calendar?
    Mac OSX 10.7.2
    Very annoying for the person I am sharing my calendar with to get an email every time I change something.
    I hope there is a way to stop the emails, but for the updates to still go on their calendar.
    Thanks

    Great idea Lofty! thanks. If the person you are sharing a calendar with is a Yahoo Mail user, you only need to set up one filter (under Options - Mail Options - Filters) and route to Spam folder or a special folder for that purpose.
    Add a filter with the following parameters:
    Sender contains:    "Your First and Last Name" as it appears in the emails they are receiving
    Subject contains:  "Your First Name"
    Email body contains: "iCloud"
    Don't need to match case on anything. 
    So far, only these unwanted emails are being routed to the folder I chose.
    Hope that helps until Apple gets it's act together

  • How to stop Siri from sending email invitations?

    Hello!
    When I put a meeting or appointment on my calendar using Siri, I find that it sends out an email to the person. Yikes! I don't want this to happen unless I specifically send such emails. How can I stop this?
    Thanks!
    Michael

    I've noticed this too. When Siri creates one (from my words) like 'Appointment with Dr. Smith', no invite is sent. If I use the name corresponding to his card in my contacts, the email is sent without confirming. 
    Another topic suggests a setting in Calendar on iCloud.com. (Settings is at bottom left.)
    Elsewhere, a suggestion to turn off 'New Invitation Alerts' in iPhone Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars (1st item under Calendars) Going to give this a try.
    Have you found a solution Michael?
    We need a way to opt in or out of that email....
    Going to file a bug report on this.

  • Prevent users from sending emails to wrong users

    Hi
    I was looking for a possible way of stopping users from sending emails to the wrong person.
    Wonder if this can be achived by group policy or creating rules and alert.
    What im actually looking for is when the user is about to send out the email they get a pop up message saying you about to send email to such person would you like to send now?
    hoping there is some sort of a solution for these problem :)
    cheers  

    Yes, some more details please.
    The closest thing I can think of is (in Exchange 2010 - no available in 2003 or 2007) is Mailtips:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd297974.aspx
    But I'm not sure that's quite what you're looking for.
    And how could any software know if the person is the right person?
    It would have to read the person's mind and realize they are about to make a mistake by sending the message to X instead of Y.
    Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you.
    Hi Le Pivert,
    I can understand your opinion an outlook will have to be that smart to realize that the email is about to be sent to a wrong person.
    What i was look for is something like a pop up notification when click on send it has a pop up message saying you are about to send this email click yes or no to cancel.
    Something like when receiving emails outlook sends the notification.
    I guess the above cant be achive through the outlook may have to be a third party software it there is any.
    Cheers

    I would look at these offerings if you are looking at Outlook Add-ins
    http://www.slipstick.com/addins/auto-process/special-function-automatic-message-processing-tools/
    If you thinking about server side solutions, Exchange has mailtips, hub transport rules, moderated groups etc... And of course 3rd party stuff is out there as well.

  • Is there a way to stop Mail from trying to send?

    Is there a way to stop Mail from trying to send? (Poor thing has been trying for a day and a half. I'd like to put it out of its misery.)

    What options do you have if you right click on the pending email.
    Just why is that mail not being sent? That is the real problem. Something isn't correct with your email outgoing settings making sending any emails impossible.

  • How do I stop Mac Mail from sending an unauthorized "out of office" message to a few, not all, my associates

    How do I stop Mac Mail from sending an unauthorized "Out off Office" reply to several, not all, of my associates emails?  Only happens with me.com mailbox, not Earthlink.  Am not getting some important e-mail from brokerage and business associates.

    If Earthlink is unaffected it is probably a settimg in me.com.  Log into me.com account in a browser such as Safari (will get icloud.com) and select the settings (gear) icon bottom left, and then click on the airplane icon. Make sure vacation setting is unchecked.

  • Have been advised to delete my outbox as a way of stopping Mail from trying to send. How do I delete the outbox?

    I've been advised to delete my outbox as a way of stopping Mail from trying to send. How do I delete my outbox?

    Actually, i had already deleted the emails trying to be sent in the outbox, which didn't work. What did work was going to Mail>Window>Activity and stopping the sending from there. Thank you for replying.

  • How do I stop mail from looping the same emails into inbox?

    How do I stop mail from looping the same emails into the inbox over and over again? It does the same thing with deleted messages that keep showing up again and again in multiples even after deleting them. I have made sure my server settings in all email accounts are set to delete immediately once I delete them on my MacBook Pro/IPhone. This issue has severely compromised the efficiency of Mail on my MacBook. Thanks for any help you're able to give me.

    I have tried that but it does not fix the problem.
    The "card" group is not a previous recipient.
    Although not available for editing in Contacts, it is a valid group showing up in the "To" field of Messages, Mail, or any app using the AddressBook.
    Its associated file is automatically created in:
    ~/Library/ApplicationSupport/AddressBook/Sources/<hexaFolder>/MetaData/<hexa>ABG roup.abcdg
    This is why it also shows up in the Spotlight results...
    If I manually remove this file, it gets recreated...
    If I turn off the syncing through iCloud, the entry gets deleted. If I turn it up, it comes back!

  • Mac mail keeps sending emails from different accounts even though it says correct email in "sent" folder. Recipients reply and it goes to different email address. So confusing.

    mac mail keeps sending emails from my different accounts even though it says correct email in "sent" folder and correct email account was highlighted. Recipients reply and it goes to different email address. So confusing and annoying.

    Hi Mike,
    I had the same issue and managed to solve it.
    Go into Mail>Preferences>Accounts
    Then in the account information tab, at the bottom should be outgoing mail server (SMTP) and click the drop down box
    Mine had a few different servers in it so i went into edit SMPT server list. Click advanced and it will tell you which ones are going from which email address.
    Delete the ones you dont want, and it should work or instead of deleting click use only this server, i imagine that will work to
    Hope This Helps

  • How do I stop  my mail from send out my e-mails with the mobile me acct instead of my default provider?  I have checked the "use only this server" in my provider account.

    How do I stop  my mail from send out my e-mails with the mobile me acct instead of my default provider?  I have checked the "use only this server" in my provider account.

    There is no such option/setting on an iPhone to determine this. Whether you can view the attachment has more to do with your connection, WiFi or cellular, and the size of the attachment than anything else. There will be a paperclip indicating the message includes an attachment regardless if downloaded with the message or not. When connected to the cellular network, if an attachment is below a designated size the attachment will be downloaded automatically. If over a certain size, you must select the attached file icon in the body of the message to download the attachment. The size limit varies by carrier/provider.
    Tell her you're gonna leave her out of the Will if she doesn't stop .

  • How to block a Sender from Sending Emails but Auto Reply Set on That Id should be able to send mails .

    hi ,
    I need to block a certain Email id from sending mails , but at the same time auto reply should work and any mail received by that id an auto reply should be generated .
    Please guide me m a not an exchange pro.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I have some tests in my lab using Exchange 2010. I recommend you create a transport rule to prohibit a user from sending emails. Here is an example for your reference.
    And then use the following cmdlet to set the auto reply for this user.
    Set-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration -Identity "amy02" -AutoReplyState Enabled -ExternalMessage "External OOF message here" -InternalMessage "Internal OOF message here"
    Here is the result.
    Hope it helps.
    Best regards,

  • How do I stop my computer from sending emails to everyone in my address book

    How do I stop my computer from sending emails to everyone in my address book? This is happening when I am not on my computer.

    I've been using a local isp and have recently gotten my mac email up and running. I think you are correct about the limitation being from the local isp as I was able to right click and send to all 67 via the Bcc. Good info, thanks.
    I promote the use of Bcc any chance I get. Seems so many out there just don't understand the forward/reply issue where names are scanned from nearly infinite lists of forwarded emails.

  • How do I A) Edit failed messages and B) Stop Mail from trying after failing

    I'm trying to send an email but it keeps coming back and saying the address isn't valid. It's a very long email and don't want to re-type the whole thing, but would prefer instead to send it to myself so I can edit it on my computer. When I go to outbox, I see it there but I can't figure out a way to edit it. In addition, it seems that the outbox is constantly trying to send even after i fails in turn preventing any new messages from coming in. In other words, the only way I can get new messages is to delete this message from my outbox. I don't want to do this until I have sent it to myself. So A) how do I edit this message once it's in my outbox and B) is there a way to stop Mail from trying to send over and over even after it says that it has failed?

    I had this problem a week or so ago......
    I'll speak generally from memory. Sorry, I can't be as specific as possible, but this method did work for me on three bad messages I had over a couple of days.
    I got the message into edit mode, possibly by selecting a send it to me option, possibly not.
    The correction was to click on the outgoing address in the header and then the iPhone presented me with my outgoing email address options. Changing the out-going address fixed the message.
    I may have been left with the original message, but the complete copy with the corrected address went through, and then I deleted the incorrect version once I was certain it went out okay.
    Afterwards, I make certain I'm selecting an out-going address that the iPhone will work with. My home Roadrunner address is what fails on the iPhone, when I make certain to use my Google address, all works fine. And if a message fails on me, I check that out-going address to see if that was the problem and needs to be changed.

  • How can I STOP mail from syncing with .mac????

    I don't have a .mac account, I will never have a .mac account, I have in mail prefs BOTH boxes under "synchronize with other computers using .mac" unchecked, and yet Mac Mail tries to tie up my entire system "synchronizing with .mac" all the time, especially when traffic is heavy (downloading or uploading). I've got activity viewer on and the stop sign is ghosted, there appears to be no way to stop Mail from doing this useless tie up time wasting process that manages to completely freeze up mail until it's completed and sometimes slow up other programs as well. I only have POP accounts, no IMAP accounts that have to be synced.
    This didn't start happening until I upgraded to 10.4.11. Prior to that Mail blazed through everything, and it NEVER tried to sync with .mac.
    Is there any way to turn this useless "feature" (for me) OFF?
    Thanks!

    I was on Tiger earlier, but just got home to a Leopard machine... and a power outage during the day seems to have blown my Tiger's Monitor, but look for...

    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.DotMacSync.<ethernet MAC address>.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.DotMacSync.plist

  • How do I stop ActiveSync from deleting emails on server

    Hi, 
    We came across a problem where users are deleting emails from their activesync devices accidentally. We need to stop it besides providing them activesync facility.
    Is there any way we can restrict sync of email deletion from activesync devices so the sync from Device to Server remains disabled. What we want is 
    Server --> Device Sync Enable
    Device --> Server SYnc Disable
    Hasan

    Hi
    You will have to look at a POP3 account that leaves the mail on the server.
    I have not seen a setting in active sync that stop mail from being deleted. If you make a change on your phone it will update the mailbox.
    Mails will be in the deleted items. How are users "accidently" deleting mail when you actually have to press the delete/trash button?
