HT5361 Using gmail account - receiving but not able to send

Recently had to change Apple ID etc but for some reason I can't send email with my gmail account - they are coming in OK, but I don't know what I need to do to be able to send them.
Can anyone help?
Suzy
Hi - If I go into Mail preferences and click on Google accounts / account info - towards the bottom is "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) and that reads "Gmail (offline)".  The dropdown menu gives me additional choices of "none" or SMTP Server list.  The "Use only this server" tick box is ticked.
Does that mean anything to anyone and is there anything I can do to unblock my sending of gmails?
Thanks again

RESOLVED - I don't know how to delete this post, but suffice it to say, I quit mail, opened it and suddenly gmail became an option from the dropdown menu.
Thank you, Lord!

  • Have hotmail account on mac that will receive but not able to send. BT broadband

    Hello out there,  I am looking for help.
    Very frustrated with hotmail account on imac.  Since December 2013 I have been unable to send emails from my imac on my hotmail account.  I receive them but cannot reply.  If I sign into hotmail via safari I can send but there is no record of all my old emails. Totally helpless with computers and feel I must have done something wrong but cannot find how to put it right.  Is it something to do withhotmail - outlook and my bt home hub router.  Any suggestions welcome.

    See the Troubleshooting sending and receiving OS X mail support document.  Based on your description, your SMTP sending path is likely misconfigured.  Either the user or password or SSL or not (SSL almost always on), or the server specification is incorrect.  The SMTP sending path is not the settings that you'll first see in Mail.app preferences for the account and what you've probably reset dozens of times, that's the POP or IMAP receive path that you can see.  The SMTP send path is buried beneath the Outgoing SMTP Server "edit SMTP server" setting within the Mail > Preferences > Accounts preferences settings.  Anyway, follow the troubleshooting document, and confirm that your settings match those from your mail ISP.

  • Can calendar entries from an iPhone be pushed up to the cloud for iPad and computer updating? My phone only seems to be receiving updates from the cloud, but not able to send them.

    Can calendar entries from an iPhone be pushed up to the cloud for iPad and computer updating? My phone only seems to be receiving updates from the cloud, but not able to send them.

    Under Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars, What do you have set for the Default Calendar? Personal?
    If you don't have it set to a Cloud Calendar it will only create the entry locally.   You would need to select the iCloud Calendar specifically when creating the Calendar entry to have it sync.
    Otherwise set your default calendar to be the iCloud Calendar so all entries are created there by default. And as such get synced to other devices.

    Kolyei, sorry for the late reply.
    Have your brother create a contact in his phone for himself. Inside his own contact, have him add his phone number and his iCloud address.
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive Have your brother select both his phone number and email addresses where he would like to receive iMessages.

    "I managed to solve the problem. Under smtp settings (mail preferences/accounts/edit smtp) I set the outgoing port to 25 (as recommended by Talktalk), no authentication (set to none) and unchecked SSL. I found that until I set the port to 25 and authentication to none I was unable to uncheck SSL. One I had done this I was able to send from my main email and other email adddresses set up under my account."
    Superb advice R&W!  My email sending block using TalkTalk started 2 months ago using Snow Leopard, continued when I upgraded to 10.8.2, and has been persistent on my wife's new iPad (IOS 6.1).  Implementing your wise words has fixed all that, and now enables me to call her on FaceTime — previously only she could call me.  Thank you so much; this will save hours of further fruitless searching and phoning.
    Please remember that your email is now insecure, if you wish to have a secure connection SSL must be on and port 25 should be avoided.

  • Using aol mail and receiving emails but not able to send.

    After successfully using itouch very frustrated with new ipad2. Receiving emails fine but still trying to send emails. Not very computer lit but husband is!

    Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if it then works.
    This may be of some help as well.

    Obviously make sure that all of the information has been entered correctly including your username and passwords and that you are using upper and lower case letters as you should be using in your password since it is case sensitive.

  • Receiving mail through AT&T 3G but not able to send

    I can receive all my mail on iphone through AT&T 3G but I cannot send, can anyone help me.

    That's one option. Another is to use AT&T's outgoing mail server to send from that account. You can enable that in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > tap insight account > Outgoing Mail Server/SMTP > set AT&T SMTP server to ON. That way, the AT&T server will be used away from home (as long as you're connected to 3G/EDGE/GPRS - if you're connected to another Wi-Fi network it won't work) and your ISPs server will be used at home.

  • One of my 4 Gmail accounts has stopped being able to send mail

    I have 4 gmail accounts.  I can send and receive on all 4 but 1.  This just started a couple of days ago.  I get an error message that pops up but it goes away so fast I cannot see what it is.  I have tried to screenshot it but I cant seem to get it.  My mail locks up as soon as it happens and the mail I was attempting to send stays as a "draft".
    I have searched the forums, and so far I have gone to google verified my settings to make sure somehting did not get messed up there.
    I have checked my 1 account against the other 3 accounts and they are identical.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled that account i dont even know how many times at this point.
    I was starting to try and uninstall the mail app but got hung up doing that so gave up on that plan (I also read that it probaly would not help what I have going on)
    I logged into a different account on my iMac set up my mail on that account and having the same issue.
    The only thing i have done in the past couple of days was link my gmail account to a computer at this college I attend (when u pull up google can synch) I did that but am unsure how that would mess up anything if at all.
    Anyone else have any ideas?

    Update I finally was able to get a photo of the error I am getting. its says
    Unable to sign message
    An error occurred while trying to sign this message wtha  certificate from "[email protected]" Verify this certificate for this address is correct and that its private key is in your keychain.
    So how do I do that?
    I never took or messed with the keychain so I am unsure how to go about figuring that out.

    I have yet to find an email server that does not work with Mail.app. Your solution will be to configure its ports and send/receive protocol according to the email server's requirements.
    Try the Zimbra support forums. I found this excerpt from a relevant post:
    http://www.zimbra.com/forums/users/46221-mac-mail-app-dont-work-outside-company. html
    in which the following ports were suggested
    ports 25, 465, and/or 487 to send mail.
    port 143/993 to retrieve mail over IMAP
