Hotmail won't send email

Please can someone help. And please keep it simple. I have an iPhone and mac book pro. I can send email from the phone no problem, but all of a sudden from the mac book I get "trying to log into this SMTP account failed. Verify that the username and password are correct".
I haven't changed any of the settings and as the password on the phone just appears as ******* and the account is old I don't know what the password is any more.
I beg for a solution.

Go to the e-mail provider's web site and see if you can log in there. If so, go to your account and change your password to something you can remember. If necessary contact the e-mail provider's tech support for help.

IPad won't send emails but iPhone does. iPad message says server does not recognise email address resetting account makes no difference what else can I try?,

My iPad won't send emails despite identical settings with iPhone which does work. " server does not recognise email address" resetting account fails to solve issue. What else can I try?

Have you checked ALL the settings including the port assignments? Easiest way to get those back to is to delete the email account from the iPad then redo the email account. Usually the ISP providing the email account will have instructions on their web site.

TS3276 Mac Mail won't send emails with signatures

My Mac Mail won't send emails with signatures. I get the "whoosh" sound and they show in sent mail, but the recipient doesn't receive them until I take off the signature and resend the email. Without a signature, it is received. It never used to be a problem, but started this past month. Please advise!

Did Earthlink have you try using their authenticated SMTP server?
If not, try changing Earthlink's SMTP server settings to the following:
SMTP Server: smtpauth.earthlink.net
Server Port: 25 or 587. Assuming Earthlink is your ISP, 25 should work.
Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): Off or not selected.
Authentication Type: MD5 Challenge-Response. Not sure if this authentication type is available with 10.2 and if not, select Password.
User Name: Your entire Earthlink email address.
Password: The password for your Earthlink email account - the same password used to check the incoming mail server for new messages.

Calendar won't send email reminders since updating to Mavericks?

Since upgrading to OS Mavericks Calendar won't send email reminders.
I have been able to set them. But they don't actually send.
I have visited multiple sites and discussions and attempted the suggestions posted there but nothing seems to help. I have even contact Apple feedback, and still haven't heard back from anyone.
Just to clarify, i have attempted the following fixes:
- Adjusted email settings to ensure iCloud ermail account is properly set up
- Adjusted reminder settings in calendar to ensure the reminders should send
- ensured that "My Card" is properly set up in Contacts
I can't seem to find anything else to help? Anyone have any ideas?

I am haivng the same issue too.
According to some other posts, I deleted and readded the "Me" record in the address book. When creating a new calender entry I set it to send email. When the notification pops up it's just a normal alert and no email.
Any ideas?

IPhone won't send email

My iPhone 4S won't send emails. I can receive emails just fine but I can't seem to send any. Each time I try to send an email it says my password is incorrect (which is isn't). I've checked my STMP server to make sure the information on it was correct but when I typed in my password it wasn't responding. Any other suggestions or solutions I could try to fix this problem?

Hello Chantelle103
If everything checks out, then the only other option is to remove the email account and then add it back. Then test with sending out the email again.

Installed Lion, Outlook 11 for Mac won't send email anymore

Hey all - I installed Lion but now my work Microsft Outlook 11 accounts won't send email...looks like they receive though. Happening to anyone else? Any ideas on a fix?

In Finder you have to go to your user account's library, which Apple hid in Lion. You can still get to it by using the "Go to Folder" option in the Finder>Go menu.
In the dialog option that comes up, type in ~/Library
Inside the library is a "Caches" folder, and inside that folder is one called ".com.microsoft.outlook"
Try deleting that? As always, make sure you have a good backup before deleting anything in the library Hope it helps!

HT1338 my mac won't send emails but can receive them

mac won't send emails but can receive them

Hi Mick209
I am in the UK and eventually found the problem was due to my BT Home Hub Router. Not sure where you live, but of you are in the UK, this might work for you.
I found this fix below on https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4604180?start=15&tstart=0
It worked for me. If you can't link to the URL, here is the body of the text
There's an issue related to the BT homehub that is providing a hostname that is "syntactically incorrect" for several smtp server.
Here's how you can fix it.
Using your internet browser, go to the address "192.168.1.254
- Follow instructions to reset your password if asked.
- Then go to "Settings", then "Advanced Settings" and "home network"
You will see there all the devices that are connected or that has been connected before. It's gonna be easyer if yout computer is the only one connected.
Your computer should have a name like "unknown-xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ...
Click on this name, chose another name without any special characters, like "macbook" for exemple.
And then click on "apply"
- restart your computer.
That should fix the issue.
Credit goes to vincentfromcork for providing me with the solution.
If it works, spread the word :-)

After backing up 5s on cloud my hotmail acct won't send email. Called and apples suggestions caused me to be unable send text now blaming Microsoft. MS blames apple no one will help

MMy hotmail acct would not send emails after backing up on cloud made changes apple said and now hotmail won't recieve mail Each side blames each other need help. I am home bound

OK folks, I think we have a winner.
I finally got frustrated so I sponsored a conference call with a Palm Level 3 tech support guy, the Telus rep and a Bell rep. We were on hold for a total of like 45 minutes as I chained the call along and finally got everyone on the same line.
So here's the deal: The setup has to be done manually as thepoet suggested. The incoming server is OK as imap and imap.telus.net with no encryption. The outgoing server has to be set to point to mail.1xbell.ca with NO authentication, port 25 and no encryption. The initial Bell tech support guy was quite close to the solution, just the wrong port number and the wrong sequence of setting it up.
I have been able to send successfully, but want to try a couple of more things before I declare it a complete success.
Thanks for your help Poet, much appreciate your persistance.

HT1694 I changed my hotmail password. I then changed that password in settings, it receives emails on my iPad but won't send emails and gives me message that my password is incorrect.

I changed my hotmail password. I then changed the password in settings, now my device iPad will receive emails but gives me an error message when I send emails that password is incorrect. How do I fix it?

Try this. Go deeper into the settings.
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.

Mail won't send emails

Tried to set up my yahoo account using mail, and while it will receive emails fine, it won't send them. When trying to send an email I get the spinning wheel next to the 'sent' folder, but after a while it tells me my password is incorrect and asks me to re-enter it. However re-entering the password just brings up the same box. I have the same issue on with thunderbird, when I try and set up my ymail account, it tells me my password is incorrect even though it is not. Thunderbird runs my hotmail fine, and mail on my iphone runs my yahoo fine.
Any help with this issue would be much appreciated as it is extremely frustrating

Hmmm…then try creating a new User account for testing purposes, setup Mail there with the same settings and see if the password is accepted there. If it is, that would seem to suggest that your Mail preferences file is corrupt, and the only way to be certain and correct it is to remove the current one and create a new one.
If you have to do that, there are different steps depending on whether you have a POP account, an IMAP account, or a combination of both, so let us know before you do anything so we can give you the correct instructions.
