HT5313 i can't send email on my imac or macbook pro since updating to 10.7.5

First my iMac stopped sending mail. Three separate accounts say the outgoing server is offline including icloud. Then, when I updated my macbook it stopped sending mail as well.
any ideas? i'm reduced to sending all my email from my phone.

Under Windows in the Menu bar select Connection doctor. You will see green to indicate a connection and red to show there is a problem. You can click on more details button, but with multiple accounts this is often hard for some users to read result. Except for iCloud account you'll see two entries for each account 1) receiving and 2 SMTP for sending.
EDIT SMTP SETTINGS
In Accounts window > Outgoing Mail Server SMTP:  select to Edit SMTP Server list... from popup.
Select account in the list.(It's not uncommon to find extra SMTP servers listed. When you remove account, Mail does not delete the smtp info. You might need to do some clean up in the list to remove the extras.)
Under Advanced Tab:
Apple defaults to the default ports (25,465, 587) but some servers prefer a custom port. Check to see what port they recommend. Gmail for example likes 465, Outlook.com 587.
Most servers require SSL but you should verify your account requirements. Gmail, Outlook.com, Yahoo and AOL all require SSL
User Name. Enter full email address  eg.  [email protected]
Add password if it is blank.(If you have two step authentication setup, you'll need to get an app specific password  more info)
Open Connection Doctor under Window in the Menu bar.
Do you see green light now for your account SMTP?

  • How can I transfer/import iPhotos from iMac to MacBook Pro?

    How can I transfer some  photos from iPhoto on iMac Desktop to iPhoto on MacBook Pro?

    We're talking some photos? You can export them from iPhoto to a USB flash drive form the iMac and import them into iPhoto on the MBP. That's one way.

  • Can't send email from Apple mail using hosted exchange since upgrade to 10.5.8

    I've got a client who just upgraded to 10.8. Since doing so he can recieve email but not send it for a hosted exchange account. He can send and recieve from his personal pop account. It is a wireless connection.  I have tried the following without any success:
    1. Verified all the config info was correct (server password etc) - no change
    2. Deleted and re-added the account - same result
    3. Deleted keychain data and readed the account - no change.
    4. Ran disk utility (why not?) - no change
    5. Removed an internet sharing app called open garden - no change
    6. Installed 10.8.1 - no change
    After trying all of this when we start mail everything looks good and then the outbound server abruptly goes "offline". The exchange host says there are no issues on their end. Internet works too. Email delivers/sends to his iPhone, iPad, and a home iMac that was also upgraded to 10.8.
    Anyone with other ideas? This one has me stumped.

    I have the exact same issue, but with a standard IMAP account and SMTP.  My iPhone can send out, using the EXACT same settings, from the exact same WiFi connection...but the 10.8 MacBook cannot send at all.  The only account I can send out on is my iCloud account. 
    I have also tried all the steps above...no luck.
    I have also turned off all network filters and firewalls...no luck.  (And as I said above, my iPhone is on the exact same WiFi connection and using the exact same settings, and it can send fine.)
    Other messages I've found via Google have suggested simply forcing the SMTP server to use Port 25, but that didn't work for me either.

  • Can you get newsstand on your iMac or Macbook Pro

    How do you connect ipad to internet if you only have an ethernet cable on your macbook pro ??

    Replacing the hard drive on those models is not user accessible. Doing so yourself could easily damage the Mac and will therefore void your warranty.
    That is why Apple offer upgrades installed by them.

  • Syncing emails across iPhone, iPad and macbook pro

    Can you sync emails across iphone, ipad and macbook pro, so if you delete from one it deletes on all?  If you write an email on one it shows up on all?  If you store something in a folder or flad something it shows up on all?
    Thanks

    Syncing mail is a function on the type of mail account, & requires an IMAP or Exchange account. Not possible with a POP3 account.

  • How can I send email using two different email address that both link back to my one exchange account on my Ipad mini

    How can I send email using two different email address that both link back to my one exchange account on my Ipad mini? 
    On my PC I simply have a master return email address and use a POP for the secondary address.  Both are through the one exchange account without a problem.  I need to be able to do the same on my Ipad.

    Ah, I should have made that clear.  My domain didn't come from google.  It was purchased at and is hosted at dreamhost, but I haven't used their email servers in years - I just route everything through gmail.  I actually have a bunch of domains (with websites).
    Gmail has an option that lets someone with custom domains send (and receive) email through gmail using the custom domain once Google confirms proper ownership of the domain (to prevent spammers and such).  Gmail has a setting for "send email as" which allows gmail to be sent using a custom domain as the sender.  I'm pretty sure Apple's old mobileme had this feature too, but I didn't use it.

  • I just updated my IPad to iOS 5 and now can not send email. The error message says the server rejects the address which is not true Asti sends on my desktop.

    I just updated my iPad to iOS 5 and now can't send email- I have tried the obvious but no luck. Any suggestions?

    Usually 'authentication required' means that you need to submit a username (or e-mail address) and password to the e-mail server, when sending a message. This logic is not different between Outlook and Thunderbird, and even with the latest and previous version of Thunderbird.
    Of course you can try the previous version again to see if it solves the problem, although you'll be less secure because you would be missing the latest fixes.
    If you'd be willing to get back to Thunderbird, say if your frustration level with your new app would increase too much, please see our article [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cannot-send-messages cannot send messages] for further help.
    In all other cases I'd appreciate it if you could mark this as answer so we know you don't need further help.

  • I can't send emails from iPhone until I connect to my wifi! I am with bigpond and have a bigpond email address. Can anyone help me?

    I can't send emails from iPhone until I connect to my wifi at home. I am with bigpond and have a bigpond email address. Can anyone help me?

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Can't send email from mac

    Hi
    I don't know since when, but I can't send email anymore via iCloud on my Mac. iPhone and iPad work. Online iCloud as well.
    I am running:
    OS X 10.9.2
    Mail 7.2 (1874)
    I use the @me.com adresses
    smtp Server says: iCloud(iCloud)
    What I tried so far:
    I went to Accounts in SysPref and activated and deactivated the account.
    No help
    I deleted my iCloud account and created it new from scratch on my Mac
    No help
    But it changed the smtp server info from iCloud(iCloud offline) to iCloud(iCloud)
    But still can't send it.
    Also, all info seems to indicate that everything is fine. Account Info, etc.
    I am running out of options.
    Any help?
    ExKingKong

    Try deleting the email account in Mail's Accounts preference pane
    and then add it back. That will automatically enter the correct server addresses.

  • TS3899 I still can not send email from my ipad but iPhone works on those accounts

    I still can not send email from my .mac account or a .comcast.net from my ipad. I how 2 people so far that has brought to my attention. We have exchange accounts setup on the ipads for work. I compare the settings from iPad to iPhone from my view it appears identical. I am looking at an iPad 2 and a Mini.
    I turned on and off the ipads and nothing really changed. The emails come into those accounts.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    VickiHTC

    When you say you can't send...as in they never get the email?  Does the email appear to send?  Error message?  When?
    It may be more than one iPad that has a problem....

    I can't send email from my iPad. I am from Australia but on holidays in Greece. Does anyone know what is the smtp outserver for Greece that I should use?

    As you haven't told us who your email provider is, no.
    There isn't an SMTP server for Greece - it is either provided by your email provider, or the Internet provider you are connected through.
