Have hotmail account on mac that will receive but not able to send. BT broadband

Hello out there, I am looking for help.
Very frustrated with hotmail account on imac. Since December 2013 I have been unable to send emails from my imac on my hotmail account. I receive them but cannot reply. If I sign into hotmail via safari I can send but there is no record of all my old emails. Totally helpless with computers and feel I must have done something wrong but cannot find how to put it right. Is it something to do withhotmail - outlook and my bt home hub router. Any suggestions welcome.

See the Troubleshooting sending and receiving OS X mail support document. Based on your description, your SMTP sending path is likely misconfigured. Either the user or password or SSL or not (SSL almost always on), or the server specification is incorrect. The SMTP sending path is not the settings that you'll first see in Mail.app preferences for the account and what you've probably reset dozens of times, that's the POP or IMAP receive path that you can see. The SMTP send path is buried beneath the Outgoing SMTP Server "edit SMTP server" setting within the Mail > Preferences > Accounts preferences settings. Anyway, follow the troubleshooting document, and confirm that your settings match those from your mail ISP.

Mac mail will receive but not send, happened yesterday!

Hi, my mac will receive email but not send anything. I didn't do anything differently and it was working just fine before. Can someone please help me. I am trying to get work emails out and they won't send. Gmail and exchange won't send, it's not just one email provider. Please advise. I have looked up other forums and I don't think it has anything to do with the settings because it worked before.
Thanks for your help.

HT5361 Using gmail account - receiving but not able to send

Recently had to change Apple ID etc but for some reason I can't send email with my gmail account - they are coming in OK, but I don't know what I need to do to be able to send them.
Can anyone help?

Hi - If I go into Mail preferences and click on Google accounts / account info - towards the bottom is "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) and that reads "Gmail (offline)". The dropdown menu gives me additional choices of "none" or SMTP Server list. The "Use only this server" tick box is ticked.
Does that mean anything to anyone and is there anything I can do to unblock my sending of gmails?
Thanks again

RESOLVED - I don't know how to delete this post, but suffice it to say, I quit mail, opened it and suddenly gmail became an option from the dropdown menu.
Thank you, Lord!

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.
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again.

Additional email address will receive but not send

My .mac email address works fine, sending and rerceiving in "Mail" I have another email address with virgin.net. which will receive but not send. I get a pop-up window saying "cannot send using smpt mac.com" (this is the server selected for my .mac address account) I have tried selecting the virgin smpt server but that doesn't work either. What should I do?
Thanks for all suggestions

Most, if not all ISPs block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network (or not provided by the ISP) on Port 25. Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only (such as the .Mac SMTP server) that is outside of the network on Port 25 but some block its use regardless.
Sounds like BT Broadband allows the use of an authenticated SMTP server that is outside of their network on Port 25 and the virgin.net SMTP server must not be authenticated.
Are you accessing an email account and SMTP server provided by BT Broadband with the Mail.app?
Something to try.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for the virgin.net account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below.
Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
If this doesn't resolve the problem and you are accessing an email account and SMTP server provided by BT Broadband in Mail, select/use BT Broadband's SMTP server to send mail with your virgin.net account which is invisible to all recipients.
These SMTP server restrictions are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.

My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). How do I fix it?

My Mac Mini will charge - but not sync with - USB-connected devices (ipod, camera, memory card reader). I have tried unplugging the devices, restarting the computer, selectively unplugging and plugging in the devices, closing and opening the relevant applications (iTunes, iPhoto, etc). I have tried using different USB cables.
It's like all of a sudden the synching service stopped functioning or recognizing these devices for some reason. The other ports work just fine (monitor).
The only USB-connected external device that appears to be unaffected is the USB SuperDrive and it works on all the USB ports into which I plug it.
How do I fix this?

Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens or doesn't happen.

My o2 email will receive, but not send on my ipad

My o2 email will receive, but not send. I've got other email accounts on the ipad & they all work OK. The o2 mail account used to work properly, but I needed to remove the account & since I've put it back on, it won't work on my ipad. Works ok on android mobile phone. I've checked the settings & spoken to o2, but they couldn't solve! It may be since I've joined the cloud? Any advice, gratefully received. Thanks.

Recheck the settings once again. There is something wrong. And it seems to happen to O2 people with some regularity. Google o2 mail settings and you will get a page with the details. Pay close attention to the port setting, you may need to change it on the pad, and that may be the problem.

Email will receive but not send after installing os7 on iPhone 4S

Email will receive but not send after installing os7 on iPhone 4S. Checked all settings against iPad and second 4s phone and they appear identical. Other devices work fine.

Thanks Spaidr,
That was part of it. I did an end-around by setting up an alternate outgoing (send) server which was the same as the primary, identical settings, name, password. I deselected the primary and used only the secondary. Reboot as you suggested and Voila! Something must have been corrupted in the primary.
Thanks and hope this helps others.

Trying to set up mail.. will receive but not send

Trying to set up mail.... will receive but not send. Already called internet provider. They said ask Apple.

Hi ...
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2), Lion.
From the Lion Help viewer ...
If you can’t send messages
If the Send button is dimmed or you see an alert that your message can’t be sent using the outgoing mail server, you might not be able to send messages. Here are some things you can try:
Make sure the outgoing mail server is specified correctly, as directed by your email service provider.Verify your outgoing mail server
If you try to send a message and a dialog appears saying you need permission, an administrator has limited the email addresses you can correspond with. Click the Ask Permission button.Request permission to send messages
Choose Window > Connection Doctor, and follow any instructions displayed in the Details column. Check whether there is a problem with your outgoing mail server or a firewall, if applicable, or if there was a login failure. If the Connection Doctor indicates a firewall problem:Verify there is no firewall software blocking email traffic on port 25, 465, or 587.Check whether you’re affected by another firewall. This could be either software installed separately from Mac OS X or built into an Internet sharing router, or software administered by your Internet service provider. Contact the appropriate person to find out whether a firewall exists.
You may be able to send messages from only a certain location. For example, if you send messages from school, you may not be allowed to send messages using the school’s outgoing mail server when you’re at home. Or, the email service provider may allow you to send messages but with stricter settings (such as requiring a name and password). Get the information you need from your provider and then change the outgoing mail server settings in Mail preferences.

Hello @JoScan , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you are experiencing scan issues. I would like to help.
I would suggest deleting the printer from your print system, using this document: Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once you have deleted it, I would suggest verifying and repairing the disk permissions: About Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions feature.
I would also suggest running your Apple updates: OS X: Updating OS X and Mac App Store apps
After the updates, I would recommend readding the OS X v10.9 Mavericks: Installing and Using the Printer on a Mac.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

Can calendar entries from an iPhone be pushed up to the cloud for iPad and computer updating? My phone only seems to be receiving updates from the cloud, but not able to send them.

Can calendar entries from an iPhone be pushed up to the cloud for iPad and computer updating? My phone only seems to be receiving updates from the cloud, but not able to send them.

Under Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars, What do you have set for the Default Calendar? Personal?
If you don't have it set to a Cloud Calendar it will only create the entry locally. You would need to select the iCloud Calendar specifically when creating the Calendar entry to have it sync.
Otherwise set your default calendar to be the iCloud Calendar so all entries are created there by default. And as such get synced to other devices.
