how do I find my outgoing mail server info for gmail account setup?

Most current Mac systems have a preloaded set of information and settings for the common email providers. Try just choosing gmail and enter your userid and password at the prompts and see if the preload configures correctly for you.

Outgoing mail server works for one account only

This may be a coincidence but I just updated to 10.5.2 today and now my outgoing mail on one of my accounts will not send. I shared a SMTP with another one of my accounts thru SBC. I can send when using my SBC account email as sent but cannot use it on my non SBC account now. Any ideas? I tried switching to the 2nd account it should be set to but still cannot send.
I even removed and started over with the email account but still cannot send.

Hi Chris,
I am having the exact same problem. Were you ever able to solve yours?

How can I find out the mail server from email address?

Hi:
How can I find out the mail server from email address?
for example: If I know the email address is [email protected],
how to find the pop3 and smtp mail server?
THANK YOU

You can't tell by the email address since you can pretty much put whatever you want in there (especially if the SMTP server is not filtering anything).
The header may be able to tell you something. There is a Received header value which looks like it has the routing information although I am not sure if this is a complete trace or just the last hop the message took.

How do you turn your outgoing mail server to online vs offline?

How do you turn your outgoing mail server to online vs offline

I had this problem too but I fixed it today. I have been unable to send emails with two of my 4 accounts.
Go to the mail menu preferences.
Click on account in question.
Select the outgoing SMTP mail server (the one offline), this has a drop down list, click on the edit server list.
Click on the advanced button.
Make sure use default port is checked.
Make sure SSL is unchecked (unless your provider requires it, mine does not work with it checked).
Have authentication set to password.
User name should be your email address for that account.
Make sure correct password is entered (for some strange reason my password box was blank on this account).
Push the ok button.
For me the SSL box was checked and the password was missing. This is strange to me considering I have unchecked the SSL Box on the mail preference advance page. Also, I went through the complete set up account when I first created the account, why was my outgoing server password box empty?
I hope this helps.

HT1277 how do you connect your outgoing mail, it says its constantly offline

I have tried disconnecting and connecting my mail account a number of times and everytime i have tried to do this the outgoing server says its offline.
How do i get it to stay online?
Thanks

If the mail works for a while and then drops off, that's usually a problem with the network connection somewhere between the Mac and the mail server. Could be a flaky WiFi, or a bad cable, a bad modem or a problem further along in the wiring to your ISP. WiFi in villages and cities can encounter interference, for instance, and moving to a 5 GHz connection (if your equipment supports it) can help. ISP connections can be flaky and drop.
If your mail is offline solidly and this is not a transitory problem, then there's usually problem with the username, password, port or server name settings, or a connection has switched to requiring SSL/TLS. To test a connection that's entirely offline, use the Connection Doctor tool within Mail.app. (Window > Connection Doctor)
Verify your credentials with your ISP web mail interface, if your ISP offers that.
There are two parts to a mail connection. The incoming connection (usually POP or IMAP) that receives mail from the mail server, and the outgoing connection (SMTP or ESMTP) that sends the mail to the server. Mail.app "hides" the latter settings; you have to select the "edit server list" option to get to the SMTP mail server configuration. Check those against your particular ISP's requirements; you'll have to search for thiose.
If you're using a major ISP provider, post the name of the ISP, and somebody might be able to locate those mail server settings for you. (Verizon is apparently rolling out a change to their settings, for instance.)
Apple offers a web-based email setup assistant that might help determine the settings, too. That can help if you remove the existing account and re-add it, too.

Trying to add my thunderbird work email account to my new iphone, how do I find my "incoming mail server" and "outgoing mail server" host names?

Got a new Iphone 6 and I need to add my work thunderbird email account onto the phone. It is asking me for the host name of my incoming and outgoing mail server and I have no idea what this means- please help!

First off there is no such thing as a Thunderbird email account. Email providers issue email accounts and Thunderbird is email client software and not a provider.
You can look at the server settings in Thunderbird to see the settings it is using or you could get a list from your provider.
In Thunderbird go to the menu bar and select Tools-Account Settings-Server Settings to see the Inbound settings and Tools-Server Settings-Outbging Server(SMTP) for Outbound settings.
No menu bar with Tools showing? Press the alt key.

Difficulty finding my outgoing mail server setting...

Hello, could you help please?
I am trying to get my email set up again at home having just bought a new computer. My previous computer died and I do not have a record of all the settings.
The email address I use is @oceanfree.net and my email comes from a server oceanfree.net in Dublin. BT, however, as part of my pacakge here, sends out my email, making it - I am pretty sure - my outgoing mail server. I can't find here, however, what the settings for this are.
Thunderbird, to set up my email, is asking me to fill in the following settings for the outgoing server:
Description:
Server Name:
Connection security (the options here are none, START TLS or SSl/TLS):
Authentication method (the options are 'password, transmitted securely, 'encrypted password','Kerberos/GSSAPI' or 'NTLM'):
User Name:
I can guess at some of these but others I just don't know. Can you please point me in the right direction?
Best Regards,
Conor Joyce

How do I delete an outgoing mail server?

Under my Outgoing Mail Sever > Other SMTP Servers - how do I delete one of the SMTP servers? It seems to be causing a problem and I can't shut it off. Every time I shut it off it shows that it is still on.

Go to Settings -> Mail -> (account name) -> Outgoing Mail Server and you should see a list of outgoing servers.
If the outgoing server is in use by one of your mail accounts, it will say "This server cannot be modified" but you should get a red "Delete Server" button if it's not.
If you're not seeing the "Delete Server" button, you need to check that you have not assigned that outgoing server to any of your accounts.
Hope this helps!

How to change the primary outgoing mail server in iphone

I am trying to change the primary outgoing mail server from Yahoo to another mail which is my internet provider. I do not know the steps to complete this in my iphone thanks

If you have more than one email account on your phone, you can change the default account under Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>Default Account. Note that this setting does not appear unless you have more than one account on your phone. So, you'll need to add the email account from your ISP under Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Add New Account if you have not already done so.

Outgoing mail server settings for tiscali email

I have a Nokia 5230 operating over the UK Vodafone network.
I can receive emails on Nokia Email Messaging to my tiscali.co.uk email address but cannot send them.
Please does anyone know what the outgoing mail server setting should be? Presumably this should be a Nokia or Vodafone server rather than a tiscali one.
Thanks

@JohnMayhew
Have you tried using your Vodafone 360 login to use the 360 outgoing server?
-SMTP server:smtp.360.com
-Username and Password are the same as for the 360 account
-Requires SSL
-Uses port 465

Cannot find outgoing mail server (smtp) for my email account.

I am trying to set up my college email account and cannot find the smtp sever. I contacted IT at my school and they said they had no idea what I was talking about... I know that it uses microsoft outlook.. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could find the server. (I did however find the mailgate and entered my username and password)

johnnyg713,
It sounds like your school might be utilizing an Exchange server. You may want to ask if it is possible to access the server via IMAP, and if so what to use for incoming and outgoing server settings.
This article has more information on setting up email on the iPhone:

Problem with outgoing mail server since getting .mac account

I'm hoping someone here might be able to help me out.
I've been using Mail for a few years now with several mail accounts. (Yahoo!, gmail, and my own domain mail). I have always been able to choose which account to send my outgoing mail FROM. That is, until I purchased a .mac account.
Since signing up for .mac all my settings are still there for my other accounts, but I have not been able to send even ONE email from any account except the .mac account.
I have tried setting up the outgoing mail servers and resetting them, but nothing works. Anyone have any ideas why this might be happening?
I'm starting to consider using Yahoo! mail online for all my mail, but I would prefer to be able to click mailto links and sent right from Mail.
Thanks.

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
Where and how are you connected to the internet with the laptop, vs the desk top -- same venue -- wireless, etc?
Is the account you have set up, the same primary account with Charter that you use on the Desktop?
On the desktop Mac, in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information, when listed as the Outgoing Server, does smtp.charter.net have any Username appended to the name?
Not sure if it could be case sensitive, but have you tried lower case letters for smtp?
More info, please.

Hello,
The error means the network is unreachable. We need more information to analyze the reason.
Please use nslookup command line tool to check if DNS MX record of gmail is correct.
Please use telnet command line tool to check if you get same error.
Please check if your server ip address is in blacklist by the link:
