HT2500 Mail cannot send e-mails
I'm using OS X 10.7.4 and now I'm unable to send emails through mail. I have several accounts and none of them works. But before they all worked fine. Any clue about what is happening?
Thanks
As long as "mail.bellsouth.com" is the correct SMTP server address for BellSouth and other settings for the SMTP server are correct, then yes.
Most or many SMTP servers include SMTP in the SMTP server address.
The only exception to this is if BellSouth uses POP before SMTP authentication and if so, this will require accessing your BellSouth email account with the Mail.app and checking the account for new mail with the Mail.app once per online session before being able to use BellSouth's SMTP server to send mail with your BellSouth or with an email account not provided by BellSouth.
You need to check with BellSouth regarding their requirements for using an SMTP server that is outside of their network (or not provided by BellSouth) on Port 25 and they can also answer the question if they use or require POP before SMTP authentication or if they have a restriction on using their SMTP server with an email account not provided by BellSouth.

Cannot send email from Mail through .mac account
I have recently opened a .mac account and started using the email service. It works fine online however I am having difficulty sending messages through the Mail application in Tiger.
Whenever I attempt to send a message, a dialog box appears saying "Cannot send message using the server smtp.mac.com".
I have tried looking at the setting in preferences. I have deleted and .mac a/c setting in Mail and re-set them up, all the problem persists.
Please help!Hello David.
Who is your ISP used for connecting to the internet and are you accessing an email account snd SMTP server in Mail provided by your ISP?
If so, can you send messages with the email account and SMTP server provided by your ISP?
Most, if not all ISPs now block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network (or not provided by the ISP used for connecting to the internet) on Port 25 which is the standard port used for SMTP servers. Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only (such as the .Mac SMTP server) that is outside of their network on Port 25 but some block its use regardless.
These restrictions are part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.
Something to try.
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 below for the .Mac SMTP server.
Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
Test if this resolves the problem.
If not and you are accessing an email account and SMTP server in Mail that is provided by your ISP used for connecting to the internet, select/use your ISP's SMTP server to send mail with your .Mac account which is invisible to all recipients. -
Cannot send email from outlook 2011 (Mac) on public networks but can send via Mac Mail
I cannot send mail with Outlook from anywhere other than my work or home network, will not work even when accessing 4g with my phone hotspot; very frustrating. I am using Yosemite & Macbook Pro (2012). if i use the Apple Mail everything works fine so I can only assume it is a setting on Outlook?
Update - I now have it working.
am not really sure what exactly fixed it.
I changed a lot of things but my setup now has the following which I think fixed.
outgoing server - p06-smtp.mail.me.com
override default port checked - port now 587
on more options button changed it to "use incoming server info". -

I have just moved to iCloud and now I cannot send email but can still receive email
Hi Judy,
Problem solved.
Go into Mail/Acounts and delete you iCloud account.
Now add a new account and type in your details for MobileMe/iCloud.
It should now work. O noticed the default server name is different.
Hope this helps.

I can connect to Thunderbird and receive email. However, I cannot send emails. When I press send (either from replying to an email or entering an email address manually) I get the following error message:
Sending of message failed.
No sender specified. Please fill in your email address in the Mail & Newsgroup Account settings.
When I click on the menu option within the email message Tools/Mail & Newsgroup, the message minimises and the programme returns me to my inbox. There is no Mail & Newsgroup setting on the mail programme.Sorry, I don't use Thunderbird and this is the Firefox support forum.
Thunderbird support is over here. <br />

I just tried sending a email from my iphone this morning and I get the message "Cannot Send Mail, the sender address was invalid"
For the past 3 months everything has been fine and mail has been working perfectly. I haven't changed any of the settings at all. However, I did notice this morning that when I logged into my Gmail account online that they've changed they're layout. Seems like quite the coincidence that Google changed their layout and all of a sudden I can't send mail on the phone.
If anybody else is having this problem, or knows of how to resolve it, any help would be greatly appreciated! ThanksThe user in this thread is having the same issue. I am not having any problems sending mail from my gmail account after the update.

I can receive AOL mail on my iPhone but I cannot send email.
I can receive email for my AOL account on my iPhone but I cannot send email from the iPhone. I can send email OK from a computer. I have AT&T service.
razmee209 (and others in this community)... HELP!
I have the same issue - I can receive email on my iPhone, but cannot send messages. Keep getting error message: (Cannot Send Mail - The user name or password for "SMTP:[email protected]" is incorrect
This issue occurred when I changed my AOL password. I also updated my password on my iPhone. After exploring this issue more deeply, it appears that my iPhone did not update my password for outgoing mail (as that are more "dots" in the password field for my outgoing server account, than for the incoming server passward that was just updated.
I am unable to change ANY of the information or settings in any of the outgoing mail server accounts - except only to toggle each account ON or OFF. All other information is "greyed" out, and unavailable and inaccessible.
I know that if I could just change (or somehow sync) the outgoing password to match the new incoming password.
PLEASE HELP!! -
I cannot send email from my iphone 6. I get the error message "the recipient (my e-mail address) was rejected by the server
The account settings are the same as on my Imac and MBA which I can send messages.
I can receive messages
Primary server=on Port 25
Other smpt server=on Port 587
Imac other smpt server is port 587. I changed 25 to 587 but that didn't work and changed it back to 587
Any ideas?
Thanks
BarbI know of none, which changes nothing regarding the test I proposed.
It won't link with your Sky address. This is to test if you are able to create and access a different email account to determine if the problem is with your iPhone or with Sky.
Have you contacted Sky? -
We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is:>> Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.
About ~20 hours later, this ended up solving itself. We can send email using the '.icloud' email from both the iPad and iPhone. Advise would be 'wait' before you start seeking alteranatives like yahoo, hotmail, etc. This definitely is a convenient way to keep all your 'cloud' information in a centralized place, including the common email...

Cannot send email w/mac mail using Juno and Tiger
Hello!
I have had a problem ever since I upgraded last year to Tiger. I have Juno, and ever since I upgraded from Jaguar, I cannot use the Juno software to log on. But more annoying that that (I have a work around that works just fine), I cannot send email from my mac mail. If I want to send an email or respond to an email, I have to physically log onto Juno's website and email and write and send from there. I have contacted Juno numerous times, and they tell me to reset my password, which makes no sense to me. Any Ideas?Regarding not being able to send mail with your .Mac account and .Mac SMTP server, most if not all ISPs used for connecting to the internet block the use of SMTP servers outside of their network on Port 25.

Why do I get the message "Cannot send mail, the user name and or password for my email outgoing server is incorrect"? I use the same account, etc. on my iPhone and haven't any trouble sending mail.
If your email requires a password for the SMTP server you can set it up in the settings in the General mail setup. Some i.e Gmail require a password for SMTP.
Otherwise you will probably get better answers in the iPad forum.

Hi
I had a power failure 2 days ago, my computer is running again, but now I cannot send email from my iPad using Cox or my gmail account. I am receiving mail in my Cox account but not my gmail account.It was working fine until the power failure. It keeps telling me, the user name or password for Gmail is incorrect. I have not changed anything. I don't know what is wrong. Can anyone help me? ThanksI agree, unplug and replug your router, then reset your iPad by holding down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red power down slider, and wait til you see the silver apple. let it reboot and then try your connection.
Chances are rebooting the router will help. You may also need to talk to cox. They may need to reset something on their end. -
Cannot Send Mail from my iPhone 4s
I am no longer able to send out replies or new emails from my phone, this is very recent and I have tried everything I know of.. But I am not THAT tech-savvy.
So, anyways, when I go to send an email or reply to one, I get a pop-up box that says "Cannot Send Mail - The username or password for "said"-hotmail account is incorrect." So then I go to the settings enter my correct password for my hotmail account, it accepts it, and try again. Same pop-box appears, even though my password and username are both correct. I know that they are correct because I am able to receive email with no problems at all.
Is this a fixable problem or should I call Apple or take my phone in directly to them and have one of the techs look at it ?
Thanks;
OdyssyProblems with sending mail is rooted in the settings for the SMTP server. There are places in this that say the username and password are optional, but normally are required by many email providers. Go back into the SMTP server settings and check all of the areas. I also agree with Doctor9fan to check your SSL settings. If you cannot get it to work like this, then remove the account from the device and add it back. As you complete the creation, make sure the account verifies. You can also check the Microsoft site to make sure settings are correct for Hotmail.
