  • Suddenly cannot send email but can receive email

    I am running OSX 10.8.2 on a MacPro desktop. I have been using Mail sucessfuly since I originally installed Mountain Lion but now it suddenly has stopped working. I have confirmed and reconfirmed my SMPT settings but have failed to send any mail. I sucessfully sent an email one week ago and have not completed any updates since. Suddenly "Mail" has taken a vacation and refused to send any mail. This has failed using POP, SMPT, EXCHANGE and IMAP.
    I am now getting an error message indicating:
    "The sender address [email protected] was rejected by the server smtp.gmail.com.
    Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent."
    I have confirmed my settings are correct with my service providers. I get this message from all of the email accounts that I use. I know the mail settings are right because I can send mail from these accounts using my iPhone,iPad, and Widows laptop without issues.
    Attempting to change ports as suggested in previous posts has worked on one "send" test email but has refused to operate since.  I noticed that "Mail" will sometimes unilaterally change the outgoing server addresses on it own.
    The same issues come up when I tried to configure MS Oultlook:MAC 2011 tehrefore I suspect a problem originating with Mountain Lion and not the email clients.
    I checked for APPLE updates to my system and everything comes back as completely current with no updates available. Any ideas?

    Hello,
    All dot.Mac and Dot.Me account have migrated to iCloud.
    You should have been given details of expiry for the .Mac account to iCloud. Apple have now shut .Me and .Mac account for web access.

    Also

    But set up 4 in the same way, goes through the actions and appears to have sent to printer, but printer not recieving or printing
    Any help out there
    cheers

    It's in the manage internet email opion, the firewall is in the option/security. My advice to you is do some playing around with your new phone. You can learn new trick and sometime "UNLOCK" your phone...in the process... I can't tell you how you can basicly unlock all 8800 and 9000 series blackberry... it's something you have to find on your own... The world is yours!! 
    Something off the issue... I thought I would never get use nor like how a Blackberry operate, nor how the GUI is so lame when it compare to a HTC G1 or even a iPhone. Now I have 4 - 8820 and 1 - Curve in my collection of phone..

  • I am overseas and cannot send emails although I can receive them and I can use the internet

    How do I change email settings to send emails whilst I am overseas? I can receive them but not send them. I can access the internet

    "Cannot send message using the server" pops up every time I try to send an email.  I can receive emails just fine.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?
    You have a setting incorrect in the outgoing mail settings. Either the port is wrong or the server is wrong.
    Please post what the server is and the port it is using. It should be something like POP.XXX.com/net or Mail.xxx.com/net.

  • I tried to send a mail message to too many addees. when the rejection came back "cannot send message using the server..." the window is too long to be able to see the choices at the bottom of it. how can i see the choices at the bottom of that window?

    I tried to send it through gmail and the acct is  a POP acct
    I'm not concerned about sending to the long address list. I just can't get the email and window that says "cannot send emai using the server..." to go away. The default must be "retry", because although I cannot see the choices at the bottom of the window if I hit return it trys again... and then of course comes back with the very long pop up window that I cannot see the bottom of so I can tell it to quit trying...

  • Mail "Cannot send message" but Thurnderbird can

    Mail is giving an error message "Cannot send message using server" - on all my servers including dot mac..but Thunderbird can, with no probs...
    This happpened a couple of months ago and reentering all the settings did not work so I used Thunderbird with no probs for a while..then I archived my emails in Mail and trashed all the accounts settings.
    Mail worked just fine for a few weeks..then the same problem
    any ideas?

    Mail worked fine on a wireless connection this morning
    Who is the internet service provider associated with this wireless connection?
    But now we are back to no sending (the message btw is
    "cannot send message using this server") on the ethernet connection
    Is the internet service provider for the ethernet connection different from the ISP associated with the wireless connection?
    Which server port are you using for .Mac's authenticated SMTP server with Mail and with Thunderbird?
    Are any of the other SMTP servers not provided by the ISP associated with the wireless connection or with the ethernet connection authenticated and if so or regardless, which server port are you using for the SMTP servers not provided by either ISP or if the same ISP with both connection with Mail and Thunderbird?

    My wife and I have both synced our iphones to the same desktop computer. She recently synced her ipad to the same computer. Now we cannot send messages to each other anymore. any ideas?

    By signing up for an apple ID it means she will be able to download her own apps and music and in future redownload if required for free. Ideally it should be the primary email address she uses as you can't transfer purchases etc to another ID.
    Photos shouldn't disappear but back them up before hand. These days everyone gets an iCloud.com address so she could use this as her ID. You would need to go to www.apple.com/iCloud from a computer to sign up for this. Bearing in mind you need a mac with lion or mountain lion or a pc with windows vista onward to take advantage of all services like calendar sync and find my iPhone etc.
    Otherwise sign up for an apple id with any other email address. You can do this at https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
    AND Click on create an apple ID.
    the applications linked to your existing apple ID will have to be redownloaded on the other ID but you won't lose them on yours.

    That sounds like a settings issue to me. Check with your IT depatment to make sure you have it configured properly.

    Hi,
    It may pay to send a Screen Shot of the Connection Doctor info.  (see the Window Menu)
    It would seem the IMAP or POP side is logged in bit the out going STMP server is not.

  • I am having trouble sending emails, I can receive them and access safari. The message I am getting is 'the recipient is rejected by the server' what can I do?

  • HT1277 I can recieve emails but I can't send them out.  The blue bar at the bottom left of the Mail page gets half way across and then the pop-up "Cannot send message using the server" comes up?  What do I do?

    I have my Yahoo Mail "poped" over to Apple Mail.  I can recieve emails but I can't send them out.  The blue bar at the bottom left of the Mail page gets half way across and then the pop-up "Cannot send message using the server" comes up?  What do I do?

    Your outgoing mail server is different than your incoming server. Usually the outgoing mail server will have smtp in it. I noticed yours said "cannot send message using the server mail.wavecable.com". That sounds like an incoming mail server. Try setting your outgoing mail server to smtp.wavecable.com
    I hope that helps.
