Having Problems sending emails in mail 2.1.5

Hey everyone,
First time poster here. I am looking for some help with apple mail.
I am having a lot of problems with mail since the last time I updated. For over 6 months I was able to both send and receive emails using my yahoo.co.uk e-mail POP account. At some point last week, whenever I try to send an outgoing email it immediately goes to my outbox and an error message pops up saying the STMP server couldn't send the message. I can still receive my emails fine.
I have treble checked my POP settings supplied by Yahoo and they are 100% correct. I even deleted all the profiles and created new accounts for my yahoo mail account. Apparently this is a fairly widespread problem but all the support I can find is for OS X 10.5 and I am still running Mail 2.1.5 on OS X 10.4.11.
Anyone got any ideas?

My SMTP are also 100% correct - they haven't changed at all from when everything used to work fine. I have since triple checked the settings. I have a similar discussions going on yahoo's ask support. I will contact yahoo directly to see if they can see anything incorrect.
I went to my local apple store to the genius bar to see if they could sort it and still couldn't get it to work. Tried everything we could collectively think of and still had no luck. I think I may have to use Deja Vu to go back before the update which caused all the trouble.
Anyone else having similar problems with mail?

    Anyone else having this problem?

    I've had my 4S for four months and not able to send eMail, could recieve ok.(same problem with my new iPad.)
    I use Cox.net as my eMail provider.
    I called Apple, and to get an answer I paid $99, they told me that it needed another PORT and to call AT&T
    to get one.
    I called AT&T(for free) they had me delete my eMail and reenter it. IT WORKED. $99 down the drain.

  • HT1430 Anyone having problems sending email with yahoo?

    Is anyone having problems with yahoo mail?  I can receive messages but haven't been able to send one for the last several hours.

    Yahoo has had a randomly persistent issue for weeks. I went through two separate times of being unable to access one of my accounts. It usually cleared up in 24 hours or so. (Suggesting it's their servers that are creating the issue)
    Have you tried to delete then readd the account?

  • I'm having problems sending email attachments

    The attachement is less then 1 mb, the address is good, etc etc
    it takes me to the place to open the attachement i click and goes back to my
    email and i click send but nothing happens.

    Try this:
    - Sign out of iMessage
    - Reset your network settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - Sign back in to iMessage
    Best of luck.

  • TS3899 Problems sending email from hotmail addresses in iPad Mail

    Hi
    I am having problems sending email from my hotmail addresses (live.com) in the Mail program on my iPad.  I get a message that says "An error occurred while sending this message".  Tis morning the program worked perfectly.  Now, not so much!
    I have turned my iPad off and on.  I have deleted and reinstalled the mail accounts.  Neither strategy helped.
    I have no problems with my gmail address.  I can send mail if I log on to the hotmail website in Safari.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    23circles:
    I would like to find a way to only have the gmail inbox but still send from any three of her accounts.
    You can do it this way:
    Set up only one account. The one from which you want to receive mail.
    In Mail > Preferences > Accounts > +gmail acct+ > Email Address insert the other email addresses, separating each with a comma and single space.
    Only the GMail account will receive incoming Mail. However, when you want to send from another address, in the From dropdown menu toggle the address from which you wish to send mail.
    You will, of course, delete the other accounts you have created to avoid getting incoming messages.

  • I have had an iphone 4s for over a year and have had no problems sending emails in hotmail but now I cannot send them. What do I need to do!

    I am having problems sending emails in Hotmail on my 4s. It has worked fine for a year but now I can't send them.

    It will be your SMTP settings see this doc to troubleshoot

    often adding the password and user name for the carrier helps ,despite it saying not needed !

  • HT4864 Problems sending email via icloud

    I am having problems sending email via my iCloud through Mail or Sparrow, I have checked the mail server settings and they are correct based on what is described on the Apple site.  Anyone else having this problem?

    For some reason, iCloud smtp servers haven't been working well over the last couple weeks. I have experienced this twice, in as many weeks. Very frustrating as I send numerous emails on a daily basis via my iCloud account. If I login through the browser, the sending works fine, but via Mac Mail...no go. Very irritating to say the least. Apple, please fix this fluctuation problem.

  • I have an Ipad 2 and are having problems sending out emails in one of my email address. I always get a message reading the email was not sent because the server does not allow relaying. This is an email account POP3. I have no such problem with gmail.

    I have an Ipad 2 and are having problems sending out emails in one of my email address. This is a POP3 email Account? I always get a message reading that the email was not sent because the server does not allow relaying. I have no such problem with gmail. What could be the problem and how do I resolve this. Is it about settings?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • On my iPhone 5 I am having a problem sending / receiving e-mails and am receiving the message: the user name or password for "imap.gmail" is incorrect. Despite many attempts I am getting nowhere. Does anyone recognise this problem?

    I am having a problem sending/receiving e mail messages on my iPhone 5 and cannot access my account. The message I am receiving is: The user name or password for "imap.gmail" is incorrect.
    I do not know what imap.gmail is. I have also lost data which was contained on my diary which I believe is linked to the problem. Does anyone recognise this problem?

    imap.gmail is the Google mail server. It doesn't recognize the password that is stored in the iPhone. The problem is that the password or email address you have in Settings for the gmail account is wrong. If you changed the password somewhere else that is the reason. You need to go to Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendar, tap on the gmail account and enter the correct password. You also need to change it for outgoing mail in Settings.

  • Having problem sending e-mails.  There's a message on the screen saying that "the sender address was rejected by a server.

    I'm having problem sending e-mails.  There's a message on the screen after I press send saying that "The sender adress was rejected by a server.

    Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

    I have been experiencing the same problem. My mail app won't even open on my Late 2011 Macbook Pro. It will show as open, but the app will never actually show up.

  • I'm not able to send emails with mail.ru. Receiving and reading is not a problem. When I create a email with mail.ru its not possible to send it although its stored in my mail.ru account as "still to be send". What can it be??

    I'm not able to send emails with mail.ru. Receiving is not a problem. Creating a mail is also not a problem and the mail will be stored at mail.ru as still to be send, only problem is its not possible to send. I noticed the buttons for sending change colour when used but they don't perform. What it is?

    Don't know what changed, but all of a sudden able to send emails by mail.ru ...... sorry for bothering.

  • TS3276 I receive a pop up from ICal saying the server does not recognize me user name and password.  This started yesterday.  I have no problems with receiving or sending emails through Mail

    I receive a pop-up from ICal saying the server does not recognize my user name and password for my me.com email address.  This started yesterday and occurs about every 5 minutes or so.  There are no problems with receiving or sending email through Mail.  I did change me email password several days ago but have no problems sending/receiving since then.

    I fixed the problem.  I opened Preferences in ICal and entered my new password.  No more pop-ups
