For all who receive but can not send e-mail:

I just found Apple's: Apple - Support - Mail Setup Assistant link:
http://www.apple.com/support/macosx/mailassistant/
followed it and problem solved. Apple is simply the best!
W.W.

Thanks SO much for stepping up to help. Mail Connection Doctor says:
red dot status:
Account Name: smtp.att.yahoo.com
Details: Could not connect to this SMTP server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the Account prereferences. Also verify that the server supports SSL. If it does not, uncheck the "Use SSL" checkbox in the Advanced tab of Account preferences.
I am able to receive and send mail when I use my Safari Browser to go directly to ATT.net and login to Yahoo. Since I can receive mail using Apple's MAIL program, that tells me the settings for Outgoing Ports must be bad. I changed the Outgoing Port to 587 and checked the box indicating SSL. I tried to send a message and got the following:
Unable to verify SSL server smtp.att.yahoo.com
Mail was unable to verify the identity of this server, which has a certificate issued to "smtp.att.yahoo.com". The error was:
There is no root certificate for this server.
You might be connecting to a computer that is pretending to be "smtp.att.yahoo.com", and putting your confidential information at risk. Would you like to continue anyway?
Any suggestion to get around the above?
Thanks in advance for helping as Yahoo's tech in India is NO help.

Can receive but can't send e-mails

I receive e-mails with no problems but I cannot send e-mails. When I try and send I get the message 'Cannot send mail. The connection to the outgoing server smtp.xxxxxxx.co.uk failed'.
When I get home, and the iPhone picks up my router the message is then sent. I know my POP3 and SMTP settings are correct so does anyone have any thoughts?
cheers

Hi Truly,
You need to set your outgoing mail server to smtp.o2.co.uk on your iPhone (in Settings/Mail/Accounts), with Username: (+your O2 [email protected]+) and Password: (+your O2 password+). I don't know why this isn't outlined more clearly in the set up process, but there you are.
Of course, this assumes you are a UK user with a legimate O2 account. Hope it helps.

Weird problem-w/ aol mail,i can recieve and reply,but can not send new mail

everything is set up, i read the instructions on that site to help me set it up, im recieving mail, and i can even reply, but when i try to send new mail it rejects the smtp. outgoing mail server...any suggestions?

Does resetting include deleting and recreating the AOL SMTP server?
Deleting an SMTP server requires selecting Edit Server List from the SMTP server selection pop-up menu.
ISP is short for Internet Service Provider. Are you using AOL as your ISP for connecting to the internet?
Unless AOL is used as your ISP, your ISP may have made recent changes regarding the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network. Most, if not all ISPs have restrictions regarding the use of SMTP servers outside of their network on Port 25. Using Port 587 usually resolves any such restrictions but some ISPs block the use of all SMTP servers outside of their network regardless. These restriction are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent or reduce spam eminating from the ISP's domain.
Since you have switched back and forth between every option available, I suggest deleting and recreating AOL's SMTP server first (if you haven't already done so) and if this didn't work, deleting and recreating this AOL account in Mail.
If neither works and AOL is not your ISP used for connecting to the internet and you are accessing an email account and SMTP server provided by your ISP, try selecting/using your ISP's SMTP server to send mail with your AOL account.
If this works, I would contact your ISP's technical support to inquire about any recent changes implemented regarding the use of SMTP servers outside of their network or put in another way, using an SMTP server that is not provided by your ISP.
The last resort is targeting the Mail.app preference file which stores all account information and general Mail.app preferences.
I try to avoid saying never in regards to computers but I doubt your hard drive replacement has anything to do with this.

Can receive but can't send in mail

Howdy
Since I installed Snow Leopard I found that I can't send messages using Mail but I can receive them....
The weird thing is, after I press 'send' on a message it just seems to disappear...it doesn't appear in the sentbox or in the outbox. Also the outbox appears maybe five minutes after I send the email but then if I click on it there's nothing there, and then the outbox disappears again.
Oh and the message doesn't send
Why is it doing this?

There have been a lot of Mail.app issues with mail vanishing in SL. You might want to poke around here to see if you can find a solution in some of the other threads.

TS3276 Receive but can not send email

I cannot send email. I used the connection doctor and it shows a green dot for my esp but send button is still dimmed. In the Accounts section Outgoing Mail Server it says "off line" but I still can receive emails.

Yesterday outgoing mail couldn't recognise my outgoing mail server so wouldn't send. I deleted the outgoing mail sever for the account (having first written down what it was (smtp.talktalk.net in this case), and made a new one with the same server, so basically just duplicated it. This allowed me to send mail.
This morning the send button was greyed out, and when I went to the outgoing server settings it said 'None'. Selecting the new version of the outgoing server I typed in last night, quitting and restarting Mail has my send button back.
I know these aren't quite the symptonms you have, but it may give you a clue since no-one else has more specific instructions.

New Mac user-can receive but can't send BellSouth mail

I am hoping someone can help-I see that others have had this problem but I still cannot get my bellsouth email account to send! I can receive mail just fine-but when I try to send it goes to my outbox and then it times out. I have 2 gmail accounts and they work very well. But my bellsouth account is my main email and if I can't get it to work in mail I will be SO disappointed!!
I set up my bellsouth account-they are my isp so i see no conflict there. Spoke to customer support-we went through all the settings and confirmed that settings and ports were correct.On the outgoing mail server description, it says Bellsouth (offline). I know it has to be online to send. They gave up and suggested I call apple support. I did that-we tried many things from changing ports to deleting the account and starting over-on the phone for almost an hour and finally he said "sorry-it won't work." He said that sometimes he can get these to work and more often they don't. Very frustrating! I have gone through these forums for hours-can't find anything that works. Has anyone been able to resolve this problem? I have been a pc user for many years but loved my iphone so much I thought it would be great to switch to a mac. But now I am questioning my decision! Any help would be most appreciated.

I went in and set up the account from scratch again. I did not check the "use authentication" box so it is not required. After the account is setup, and I check the box that says "take the account online", I go to the accounts page. For the outgoing mail server, it says Bellsouth (the name I gave it) and then it says offline. I also have gone in and edited the server list-and it always goes back to offline.
Well-just tried to send again a message to myself...IT WORKED! How 'bout that! Still says offline-but if I go to the mailbox menu at the top, then go to online status-it says "take bellsouth offline". This must mean that I am actually online!!
I guess what worked was just to keep trying. I did not do anything different this time-I had tried it with and without authentication before. But I am happy to report that I am now sending mail. If anything changes, I will repost. To those that responded--Thank you so much for your help!!

See OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages for details. on troubleshooting mail.
Your SMTP server settings are incorrect. Mail has two connections, a receive path from your mail server to your mail client, and a send path from your mail client to the mail server. The send path uses SMTP to communicate with the server.
Apple Mail.app has separate settings for the receive and send paths; each has its own server, username, password, port and SSL settings. Your send path settings are likely incorrect.
To determine the proper settings, check with Yahoo for the SMTP server settings for your account (usually a web search, but I don't know the details of how Yahoo sets up their accounts by default nor whether that varies by account), and verify that your settings match — the send-path settings are available via the accounts settings; Mail > Preferences > Accounts > select the account > Account Information > and switch the Select SMTP Server setting to Edit SMTP Server List... > select your Yahoo SMTP server, and set the account details per Yahoo requirements.

HT201320 I am having trouble with my wife's new iPhone 5s. She can receive her telus email but can not send any email what did I do wrong in setting up her account?

I am having trouble with my wife's new iPhone 5s. She can receive her telus email but can not send any email what did I do wrong in setting up her account on her iPhone? I tried to just copy the info from her old iPhone.

The sending of email is accomplished via the SMTP server. Take a moment to get back into Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars and select the account. Go to the SMTP server and check to make sure that username and password are entered in all of the appropriate places. If you cannot get it to work after trying to just change those settings, remove the account from the phone and recreate it. When recreating, make sure you enter the username and password in every location, even if the phone says optional. Make sure you have the settings from either the email provider or from the other device. Make sure that SSL is on or off as necessary.

Since downloading updates for ios 6.0.1 can not send or receive mail on iPhone and iPad

Is this on wifi or cellular data?
Have you tried a reset? Hold down the home/power button until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
Have you gone into the email settings and making sure the password are still there?

I have paid my subscription for Adobe Acrobat Pro but can not install it… I always get an error message …also I did not receive any instalation code...

With the subscription you sign in with your Adobe ID that you used to order the subscription. By installation code, I assume you mean serial number. You do not get one with the subscription, but use your Adobe ID.

Yes I have turned imessage off a number of times and that does not seem to he doing the trick, and it is not delivering them then I have to press on the photo and either chose try again or send as text message, I have had the setting on to not allow sending pictures as texts (so they can only send as imessage) since I got my phone in January and it has always worked until now, I have turned that off to allow me to send them as picture messages now but it's still not working over iMessage, I have also tried it using 3G and not wifi
