Can't send email, just hangs in outbox...

Since beginning of November, i have noticed my emails are not being sent. I have made no changes to my .mac account OR my imac system. I can still receive mail, but most of the sent mail, just hangs around in the outbox. Internet connection is fine, i have deleted the account and set it up again, only to have the same problem. I have an imac 10.4.11
Looking through other questions on the forum, it seems that this is a reoccurring issue, i have tried some of the tactics to cure it to no avail, can anyone suggest a simple remedy please.....?

I'm have the same problem. I just recently switched over from Time Warner cable as my internet provider to AT&T DSL. I have several macs and they are all set up now to use the AT&T DSL Modem. My laptop can send and receive email just fine, however, ever since I made the switch from Time Warner to AT&T my desktop can't. It can receive emails, but when ever I try to send them, I'm having the same problem where they just hang in the outbox.
Were any of you able to resolve the problem?

Can't send emails or receive emails

For some reason i can't send or receive emails at all on my laptop, but if i go to mobileme all my emails are there and i can also sent emails. Any ideas? thanks

Dozens. Instead of Discussions users playing "guess that problem" though, why don't you tell us exactly how you're trying to access your email and what error messages or issues you are specifically having.
We know you're using MobileMe. What email client? Have you had internet issues? On a laptop, are you mobile or in a fixed location? What happens when you send? What happens when you receive?
The more detail, the better the help you'll get in return.

Can not send email from .mac account from the iPhone

I'm having problems sending email from my iPhone from my .Mac Account and says the outgoing server timed out. Any Suggestions?

This error message indicates you are not using the correct server port for .Mac's SMTP server.
Did you transfer the account settings from your Mac to the iPhone automatically via the iTunes sync process or did you manually create your .Mac account on the iPhone?
If the former, go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP Server selection, select the Server Settings button below for .Mac's SMTP server.
If 25 is available in the Server Port field, enter 587 in place of 25 and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting and then re-sync your iPhone making sure your .Mac account is selected for account settings to be transferred to the iPhone.

How can I send email from my domain from my iPhone using Gmail

I want to send email from my iPhone using Gmail/Exchange but I want my emails to come from my own domain.
I've tried a few different methods but my email ends up crashing after a couple days.
Is there a simplified process to solve this annoyance?
Thanks in advance

Can't send email only receive using safe-mail

I have a www.safe-mail.net email account and i have been trying to set it up on the Iphone.
I switched pop 3 on etc in safe mail and entered the settings it suggests. I managed to receive email but it kept refusing to send it out.
If anyone has any ideas would really appreciate it as it is driving me mad.
thanks

The Mac Mail program is not stupid but garbage in = garbage out.
The colon being added between Earthlink's server and your user name is normal with an authenticated SMTP server.
Although I have cable modem internet service at home, I've kept an old Earthlink dial-up account for use when traveling if a high speed wired or wireless connection isn't available (which is becoming less common). I use Earthlink's authenticated SMTP server to send messages with my Earthlink account when connected to my ISP at home and to send messages with my other email accounts when using Earthlink's dial-up for internet access when traveling.
My Earthlink SMTP server settings are as follows:
SMTP Server: smtpauth.earthlink.net
Server Port: 587 (this is determined by the ISP used for connecting to the internet but since you are not using Earthlink for internet access, Port 587 should work but not always)
Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): Off or not selected.
Authentication: MD5 Challenge-Response
User Name: Your entire Earthlink email address.
Password: Your account password - the same password use for checking the incoming mail server for new messages.
If these settings do not work, it is likely the ISP you are using for internet access is blocking the use of all SMTP servers that are outside of their network on any port even if authenticated.
I don't want to use my ISP's way of sending and receiving email.
I just want to use my ISP for DSL service and keep my earthlink
mail email address.
Unfortunately, you have NO control over this. You are at the complete mercy of your ISP and their restrictions.
You can add your ISP's SMTP server information to the Mail.app and select/use your ISP's SMTP server to send messages with your Earthlink account which is completely invisible to all recipients.

Mac mail can't send email, only receive. Why?

I have a webmail server that I installed on my mac mail. It is receiving emails, but it won't send. I use the correct port for outgoing emails and all the log-in info is correct. Can anyone help me? Is there a better mail app for mac I can use?

Hi johnnytoo!

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

I can not send email from my iPad . Have been using it for over a year, all of a sudden I can only receive email. I have a wifi connection in my home and have a A T &T cellular data plan?

I have a 1st gen iPhone that I just updated the software to 2.0.2
Now whenever I press the mail icon it goes to the mail app for about 4 seconds, does nothing, no loading of folders, old messages, nothing.
Then it reverts back to the home screen. Tried restarting, haven't tried restoring, thought I'd look here first.
Anyone???

IPhone 5 no longer receive emails, but can still send emails with yahoo email account. Any ideas to fix?

iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1.2 stopped receiving mail yesterday. Have yahoo email account. Can still send emails. Have turned device off/on. Have done the dual off/on thing using top button and menu button. Issue seems to be only with main inbox, as sub folders are receiving mail. Other Apple device is not having issues like this, just on iPhone.

Your issue is with the Yahoo email account which is notoriously bad.
you can try deleting and reinstalling the email account.
If that doesn't fix it try the yahoo email app.

Moved to a new house and now i can't send emails but i can receive them

I just moved to a new house and now i can not send emails but i can receive them...

New houses can do that.
We need more info - what email service is this issue about. Do you use several (gmail, yahoo, icloud,...) and is this issue the same for all? If you also use a computer or other device, is this issue common to them all?
