Mac mail wont send from new address

I wonder if anyone can help me...I recently purchased a mac mail address for my girlfriend and i set it up. (anyone who has done this before will know that all you have to do is put your username and password in to set the @mac address up and all the rest is done for you). However, i can not send mail to her new address, nor can i send anything from her address. I can though send her mail on me.com, and i can also send and receive me.com mail from her mac. I have no idea what is going on. HEELLPP!!

I recently purchased a mac mail address
Are you sure it's a .Mac address, or is it a MobileMe address?
i can not send mail to her new address
Are you trying to send mail to that address from a different address, or from her own address?
What are the specific settings for the account (Incoming and Outgoing servers, port numbers for each, authentication method, and SSL status)?

My Webmail works great, but my regular POP mail wont send (will receive)

I have two servers, directnic standard set-up, checked by them, and same as has worked for two years. Each server has one email account and a web server, web works great and easily. Webmail works fine for both accounts, mail gets received fine in my mail app by both accounts when sent from my .mac account or my webmail via safari. But when I go to send from either account using mac mail I get "cant use that server" try this one... which of course doesn't work either (unless I select the .mac account sometimes.) both accounts are set up on same server names as work with webmail, same passwords, port 110 for POP... any ideas most appreciated.... I am probably staring at the problem but just cannot see it.... Thanks!

What are your settings for outgoing mail server? Pop (port 110) can't be used for outgoing mail, you need an SMTP server (normally port 25) for that.

Mail wont send or receive messages

I have 4 different mailboxes set up on mail. I noticed earlier that several messages that I had sent were just witting in the sent folder like they were sending but they never would go. I tried to rebuild one of the mailboxes which is an imap account, but it simply deleted all the messages in my inbox? Its like mail is no longer communication with the mail servers? I have two different mail providers and it is doing this with both of them. I have also tried to restart several times with no luck.

Mac mail wont send

Mail suddenly stopped sending. meassage imap offline

Hi Tim,
Who is your eMail provider, the part after the @ sign?
In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
Then click the Show Details button & Check again.
Mail: Can't send messages, "Cannot send message using the server smtp.xxxxx.com" alert appears...

What does the Mail Connection Doctor return?
The link in my first replay included :
If you still can’t send or receive email
Mail Connection Doctor may be able to tell you more about the issue.

Try deleting and recreating the account on the iPad.

I am having problems interacting with Microsoft Office programs since the last update:cannot create a pdf through the 'print' menu in exel and both Word and Exel docs sent in Mac Mail end up being received as .dat files.

Both these situations have cropped up on my MacBook Pro since the last update.
Thanks for your help.

The 'Winmail.dat' problem has been extensively covered in these forums, I would search for that (a Google search works well) and unfortunately I have not seen the pdf print problem before, but assuming the software is current and functions normally (other than the pdf print problem) I have no suggestion other than the obvious (but time consuming) re-installation of Office.
I wish I had more

Mac mail keeps sending emails from different accounts even though it says correct email in "sent" folder. Recipients reply and it goes to different email address. So confusing.

Hi Mike,
I had the same issue and managed to solve it.
Go into Mail>Preferences>Accounts
Then in the account information tab, at the bottom should be outgoing mail server (SMTP) and click the drop down box
Mine had a few different servers in it so i went into edit SMPT server list. Click advanced and it will tell you which ones are going from which email address.
Delete the ones you dont want, and it should work or instead of deleting click use only this server, i imagine that will work to
Hope This Helps

Try going to Mail/Preferences/Accounts/iCloud/Advanced and setting Authentication to Apple Token.

When I am sending one message, mac mail shows sending several (6 last time), is it virus?

when I am sending one message, mac mail shows sending several (6 last time), is it virus?
mac mail also freezes from time to time and closes for no reason

It is not a virus. It's a bug in Mail that fails to reset that count, so it keeps incrementing each time you send a message. When it says it's sending 6 messages, that really just means you're sending the 6th message since you last opened Mail.

How do I stop Mac Mail from sending an unauthorized "out of office" message to a few, not all, my associates

How do I stop Mac Mail from sending an unauthorized "Out off Office" reply to several, not all, of my associates emails? Only happens with me.com mailbox, not Earthlink. Am not getting some important e-mail from brokerage and business associates.

If Earthlink is unaffected it is probably a settimg in me.com. Log into me.com account in a browser such as Safari (will get icloud.com) and select the settings (gear) icon bottom left, and then click on the airplane icon. Make sure vacation setting is unchecked.

Does anyone know the YAHOO authentication method and port? I recently installed the new OSX 10.8.2 software and my mac mail wont work.

Hello,
I have no idea what you're talking about, however my Mail stopped working when I
had to add a new e-mail address for my Hotmail account.
My new Hotmail address works, and seems to get e-mail from the old e-mail address,
which from I've read behaves as a "default" address for the old address.
Apple Mail is linked to my Hotmail account of the old e-mail address.
I no longer know my old password.
Apple Mail will not accept my new password for ny new Hotmail account.
Can someone help me solve this problem WITOUT COMPLICATED SOLUTION!
As I said I have no idea what a port, or SSL or authentication is!
If you do answer,please answer in vert simple steps that are easy to follow, and donlt make matters worse.
Thanks,
SB
