How to configure Mail to send from off-site

I am trying to configure Mail on a laptop that will send and receive email both went it is connected to the servers ISP (on site) and when the laptop is connected to a non-site ISP. In other words when I am in the office I am connected to the ISP that is hosting my mail server. When I am out of the office and using an ISP that is not hosting the mail server. I have configured Mail such that I can send and receive email when I am onsite. When I am offsite I can receive email but not send it. In order to fix the problem I have tried configuring the SMTP to require password authentication using a couple of different server ports (i.e. 25, 110 & 587) but have been unable to send from off site. At this point I am at a loss as what to do. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

If the off-site ISP doesn’t let you send no matter what port you use, there is little, if anything, you can do about it. Many ISPs, however, only block port 25 for all traffic outside their own network. Something that usually works in those cases is changing the outgoing server port to 587 instead of 25 in Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server > Server Settings, but the outgoing server in question must listen to that port for this change to work.
If the off-site ISP allows sending on port 587, but the outgoing server you want to use doesn’t listen to that port, you may solve the problem by using an independent authenticated SMTP server that allows sending from any mail account no matter where you are.
A Gmail account, for example, would allow you to do this. Instructions for setting up a Gmail account are provided here:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13275
After setting up the Gmail account in Mail and checking that it works, you can use Gmail's SMTP server to send from your other mail accounts as well:
1. Log into your Gmail account on the web.
2. Go to Settings > Accounts.
3. Enable the addresses you want to be able to send from, and let Gmail validate them by verifying that you do indeed own them.
4. For each mail account you want to send from using Gmail’s SMTP server, in Mail go to Preferences > Accounts, and choose Gmail’s SMTP server from the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) popup menu.

    I have 4 email accounts in apple Mail.  My mail is sending from the wrong account.  even on "reply" it sends from a different account.  I have 3 gmail accounts and one exchange server account. I choose which account to send from and it still sends from the same gmail account.  Help.

    I HAD two accounts because of this problem.  I completely removed the problem account from the Apple Mail client.  Guess what is happening??  That's right - Mail is still sending from the other account that no longer exists on my computer, and I have absolutely no idea how this is happening.  This is incredibly frustrating.  When a recipient chooses to reply to my message, quite often I won't get it now because it is going to the other account that has now been deleted from my system.  COME ON APPLE!!! WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THIS???

  • Send apple email - how do I set the - send FROM account?

    found this nice script to auto create and send apple email...
    Q: how do I set the : send from account?
    tell application "Mail"
    set theMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {visible:true, subject:"My Subject", content:"My Body"}
    tell theMessage
    make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {name:"test", address:"[email protected]"}
    end tell
    send theMessage
    end tell
    nice info here:
    http://www.mactech.com/articles/mactech/Vol.21/21.09/ScriptingMail/index.html

    I've been using the following which may be more complicated than necessary but it does work:
    -- SCRIPT SEGMENT --
    tell application "Mail"
    activate
    set listOfSenders to {}
    set everyAccount to every account
    repeat with eachAccount in everyAccount
    set everyEmailAddress to email addresses of eachAccount
    if (everyEmailAddress is not equal to missing value) then
    repeat with eachEmailAddress in everyEmailAddress
    set listOfSenders to listOfSenders & {(full name of eachAccount & " <"Mail"
    set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:theSubject, content:theBody & return & return}
    tell newMessage
    set visible to true
    set sender to theSender
    make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {name:theName, address:theAddress}
    set font to "Lucinda Sans"
    set size to 14
    end tell
    activate
    --send newMessage
    end tell
    -- END SCRIPT SEGMENT --
    I have commented the actual "send message" line so that I can read the message before clicking the send button as I often will add a comment.

  • HT201250 How to recover mails of outlook from time machine

    How to recover mails of outlook from time machine

    This worked for me:
    From Time Machine, restore a good backup of the entire  "/Users/james/Library/Application Support/Address Book"  folder to a different location, like to a folder on your desktop.   
    (note: the Library folder typically won't show up in Finder. To make it visible, in Terminal, issue this command:
            defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES     
            then restart Finder:  killall Finder  )
    Go offline.  Do whatever you need to do to get completely disconnected from the internet (turn off Wireless, unplug the ethernet cable, etc.).  Otherwise, iCloud will immediately overwrite your restore.
    Delete the real folder:  /Users/james/Library/Application Support/Address Book
    Copy your restore (at the different location), to the real location ( /Users/james/Library/Application Support/Address Book )
    Restart Contacts.  Your restored data you want should be there.  Before going online again, Export all these contacts (File - Export - etc...)
    Go online again.  iCloud will wipe out your Address Book with what's on iCloud. Re-import contacts as needed from your Export.

    Hi Pankaj Sharma,
    The suggestion above would be a good solution to you.  However, if you do not want to use this add-on, you may just configure SBO-Mailer to perform the task. You may check all available setting for the mailer and read through Administrator Guide for how to set it up.

  • Connecting to Time Capsule from off Site (Windows 7)

    Hi All!
    First off, thanks for reading my post, it means a lot to me to get such great help from the community.
    I have a Time Capsule (2TB) setup in my home with my most of my Windows 7 user profile redirected to it.  It was just purchased over the weekend from the Apple store after my 7 year old Apple router finally died, so it should be the latest and greatest.  I have setup DynamicDNS and can connect to my time capsule using the dynamic host name from inside my house (capsule.notmyrealdns.net).  So, to reiterate in case I'm not being totally clear, if I map a network drive in Windows from my home desktop to \\capsule.notmyrealdns.net\hammonjj, I can connect to that share without any problems.  For reference, hammonjj is the username I created in the Time Capsule management utility and TC created a share called hammonjj, which is what I am connecting to.
    However, from off site I can not map this drive.  When I try to map it, I get a network error, which I have listed below (I am checking the box to connect using different credentials, btw).  I have tried to ping my DNS host name and it both responds and kicks back the correct IP for my home connection.  I have also double checked both my usename and password and have since gone under port mapping and added both Personal File Sharing and Windows File Sharing to the list of exceptions and checked the box for enabling access over WAN in the Airport Utility; I chose a random public port, but kept the default private ports.
    The error:
    Windows cannot access \\capsule.notmyrealdns.net\hammonjj
    Check the spelling of the name.  Otherwise.......blah blah blah.
    Thanks again for the help!  I'm sure this is just a silly oversight on my part, but I can't seem to figure it out on my own.  I bow before the Apple Community!
    James

    It is not an oversight on your part.. you cannot connect via SMB over the internet.. practically every ISP .. certainly any responsible ISP blocks the port otherwise just about every windows system on the internet would be fully exposed as people share folders without passwords.
    Use vpn .. that is the only secure way from windows.

    Does it matter if I have to access the OWA url using a trailing folder name? I access OWA like so, https://owa.example.com/owa, I know it's a bit redundant, but I don't know how to make mail aware of that, or even if it's a problem? If I leave off the URL I can connect but not authenticate, with the URL it's obviously an invalid hostname. Anyone familiar with this issue?
