I Am Able To Recieve E-Mails But Not Send E-Mails Using IMAP?

I just set my iPhone up tonight and I set my e-mail up.
I use Microsoft Outlook Express for my mail on my computer.
I entered in all the required information to activate my e-mail on my iPhone and all my e-mails just popped up!
It was awesome...
Well I tried sending a e-mail and it told me to check my smtp.att.yahoo server or something and to try again.
Well I don't know what that means and I don't know what to change.
So any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sam

After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?

My gmail, which is correctly configured for Mail with gmail SMTP and Google IMAP, works for awhile on Mail, which I leave open while working on other applications. But several times a day I get msg from Google: "We recently blocked a sign-in attempt to your Google Account" . . . and requiring me to verify my account details, re-enter passwords, confirm security settings (or change them from "disable" to "enable less secure methods" and so on). In Mail I also have tried "taking all accounts online", and re-entering my gmail password inside Mail account settings. These steps successfully re-set comms between gmail and Mail ... for awhile, then it happens again. Enough occurrences over a work day that I just quit Mail and revert to accessing gmail directly. Apple Care advisor and an Apple knowledge base article say that Apple can't deal with this, as gmail is third-party app, and they refer me to gmail, and so far I've found nothing helpful there.
From today I also have several instances of a window saying "Mail has unexpectedly closed" and asking me to Re-open it.
I also use Yahoo mail, which stops working with Mac Mail at the same time as gmail, but I do not receive notices to re-verify from Yahoo.
I recently upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite. The Mail problem happened occasionally with Mavericks but is far more frequent with Yosemite.

Yahoo Mail issue, able to recieve but not send.

I sold my friend my Macbookpro running 10.5.3 and he is able to receive emails but not send them even though the MBP makes the sound like the email was sent. Yahoo says they are not reaching their server. I told him to repair disk permissions which may be a long shot and if that did not work to add a new user account and re setup the email account over again and see if they go out from there. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. I know I have had this issue before but it was just because my outgoing mail server was not typed in properly.
He says everything is correct. Could it be a port issue?

Please see if the Apple mail troubleshooting support article resolves this misbehavior.
Sending is the SMTP path, which is the one that nobody new to mail can find — mail uses POP or IMAP for receiving, and SMTP for sending, and there are separate settings, servers and login credentials for each. To get to the SMTP settings, Mail > Preferences > Accounts > select the failing account > Account Information > select Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) to Edit Mail Server List > select the SMTP account > verify the settings for the server, that SSL/TLS is enabled (usually) or not (rare), and that your username and password are correct. Like the POP or IMAP settings, these SMTP settings and credentials are also specific to your mail ISP, which means I don't know exactly what the required settings are here.
With the way that mail pops up that infernal "do you want to cause yourself grief by changing your password?" dialog box on transient network errors, it's very easy to get an incorrect password set, too.
I'm not sure why you've listed web server, Linux, Apache and PHP in your posting.

I am able t receive e-mails on my ipad3, but not send them. All my settings are correct

I am able to send e-mails from my ipad3, but not send them. My settings are definately correct

To expound a little on lllaass post ....
Go into your email account's settings : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , tap on the account on the right-hand side, go into Account, then SMTP (under Outgoing Mail Server) and try filling in your email account name and password (they might show as 'optional' at the moment) and see if that helps

Mail recieving but not sending on Yahoo account!

Hi,
I have had my Yahoo email set up and running fine through Mail for the last year or so. However for the last couple of days I can receive email's but not send them.
I have three yahoo accounts and it's the same on all three. I've tested the connection settings and they're all fine. I've even deleted the accounts from Mail and set them up again from scratch.
I get the following error:
*'Sending the message content to the server failed.*
*Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be delivered.'*
Anyone else getting this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Steve

In order to prevent spam and address spoofing, some mail systems are now being set to disallow 'relay'
That is, sending to another host via an intermediate account.
Example: Your mail account is [email protected]
You are popping mail from [email protected] You get a message at your yahoo address from [email protected]
When you try to reply to the yahoo message from your host.com account, you are trying to use host.com as an intermediate to yahoo.com, which will in turn send the reply to [email protected]
you are thus asking host.com to relay a message from [email protected] to [email protected]
In reality, host.com has no idea who [email protected] is.
So it refuses to allow an unknown user from a foreign system to use it's mail server to send to a 3rd mail server. This is considered relay, and it's a favorite tactic for spammers.
That may be why you are told to "select a different outgoing server"

"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.

Out of the blue today, my gmail will not send. I recently upgraded to Mavericks. But I have had not problem until today. I can receive mail but not send. Any easy suggestions of what to do?

I have been having the exact same problem for weeks now with gmail. None of my computers will send Gmail (they will recieve) and my Maverick computers (10.9.1) show gmail smtp.gmail.com as "offline". I had installed Post Box and apple support thought it was that i had too many accounts (I have 2 ipads, an iphone (latest iOs), a work and home iMac and a powerbook). I disabled all my gmail accounts in Mail and still no go from PostBox either . I tried connection doctor and it just spins for outgoing and say I either haveve the wrong pw or login - I dont. I terminaled and tested port 465 (according to gmail instructions) and it works (port 25 did not). I can access gmail from the webmail and send/recieve mail from it and it shows up in my webmail outbox. It is configured for imap.I just cannot send mail at all from any gmail account from any apple device using Mail (or PostBox). I am at a loss as was the apple support person who wished me good luck very politely and sympathetically.

Mac mail 7.3 receiving but not sending

Hello everyone,
I have been stuggling with this problem for three days now. I set up a new e-mail account (for a new job) and the new account will receive fine but not send. Here is the general set of steps that I followed:
* Used IMAP unsecured - smtp port 25. Failed due to port blocking
* Used IMAP unsecured - smtp port 587. Works on other servers but this one not.
* Used IMAP and smtp secured with SSL - smtp port 465. Failed.
The last one is what I believe I should be using. I get the standard "Could not connect to this SMTP server..." message on connection doctor, and all I get from the log is:
INITIATING CONNECTION Jun 10 11:04:13.633 host:vps2955.inmotionhosting.com -- port:465 -- socket:0x0 -- thread:0x608002468c00
CONNECTED Jun 10 11:04:14.278 [kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelNone] -- host:vps2955.inmotionhosting.com -- port:465 -- socket:0x600000ad8d40 -- thread:0x608002468c00
With no "READ" or "WROTE" messages or anything else. The "kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelNone" seems odd, but I've seen that elsewhere. I've also tried:
* Turning off SSL and using 465 - failed
* Deleting all related keychain items - no effect (after accepting the cert)
* Running keychain first aid - no problems
I contact inmotion hosting and they said my settings all look right. They can probe further, but I need to coordinate with my boss to get permissions for them to do that (maybe later today).
One additional thing - using network utility I am able to see port 465 on this server as expected.
I'm at a loss. I've set up many, many e-mail accounts in the past and this is the first time I have ever had these sorts of problems. Help!!!

Under no circumstances should you ever change the trust settings of any SSL certificate, unless you created it yourself. That's just about the most dangerous thing you can do with a computer.
Back up all data, then take each of the following steps that you haven't already taken. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Date & Time
Select the Time Zone tab in the preference pane that opens and check that the time zone matches your location. Then select the Date & Time tab. Check that the data and time shown (including the year) are correct, and correct them if not.
Check the box marked
Set date and time automatically
if it's not already checked, and select one of the Apple time servers from the menu next to it.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemCACertificates.keychain
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open. The dialog should show "You can only read" in the Sharing & Permissions section.
Repeat with this line:
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain
If instead of the Info dialog, you get a message that either file can't be found, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it by pressing command-V. Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.
Step 3
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
In the upper left corner of the window, you should see a list headed Keychains. If not, click the button in the lower left corner that looks like a triangle inside a square.
In the Keychains list, there should be items named System and System Roots. If not, select
File ▹ Add Keychain
from the menu bar and add the following items:
/Library/Keychains/System.keychain
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain
From the Category list in the lower left corner of the window, select Certificates. Look carefully at the list of certificates in the right side of the window. If any of them has a a blue-and-white plus sign or a red "X" in the icon, double-click it. An inspection window will open. Click the disclosure triangle labeled Trust to disclose the trust settings for the certificate. From the menu at the top, select
When using this certificate: Use System Defaults
Close the inspection window. You'll be prompted for your administrator password to update the settings. Revert all the certificates with non-default trust settings.Never again change any of those settings.
Step 4
Select My Certificates from the Category list. From the list of certificates shown, delete any that are marked with a red X as expired or invalid.
Export all remaining certificates, delete them from the keychain, and reimport. For instructions, select
Help ▹ Keychain Access Help
from the menu bar and search for the term "export" in the help window. Export each certificate as an individual file; don't combine them into one big file.
Step 5
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ Certificates
There are three menus in the window. Change the selection in the top two to Best attempt, and in the bottom one to CRL.
Step 6
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
/var/db/crls
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "crls" should open. Move all the files in that folder to the Trash. You’ll be prompted for your administrator login password.
Step 7
Restart the computer, empty the Trash, and test.

Can recieve but not send email with Airport

Hi there,
I'm currently using my mac to connect to the internet via an airport express configured on my partners powerbook, it all works fine to connect to the internet and to recieve emails through 'Mail' but i can't send any...
Could anyone offer any advice on how to reconfigure my settings to allow me to use my emails properly?
Incidently, the existing network connection i'm now using is through BT internet whereas my account is with virgin.net.
Why can i recieve mail but not send?
OK, hope someone can help...
Thanks, steven.

Without you being specific about your problem, I am guessing you have the same problem I had. You can look at the following
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75124
or describe the error message that comes up when you send e-mail.

Can receive but not send mail while traveling

Hello:
wondering if there is a solution to this recurring problem. My email address is through my website, via my cable service, and I read it using Mail without a problem. However, when I'm traveling and using internet service other than my home, I can read my mail through Mail - but not send it. When I attempt to mail from the Mail window, it starts to send from my Outbox, and then fails, and delivers the message: "Cannot send using the server smtp [cable service name].net Use the popup menu below to try a different outgoing mail server."
I can successfully send if I log onto my mail on my website, but it's more steps. Is there a solution to this, or is this just the nature of using outside networks?

Hi BDAqua;
So can I just change the port number in my Mail>Pref>Accounts>Advanced pane, and be able to mail while traveling? Or does that create some kind of conflict with my current mail/cable provider settings? Port is currently set to 110. (It does say "check with your sysadmin before changing any of these settings". Alas.)

Hi ...
Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2), Lion.
From the Lion Help viewer ...
If you can’t send messages
If the Send button is dimmed or you see an alert that your message can’t be sent using the outgoing mail server, you might not be able to send messages. Here are some things you can try:
Make sure the outgoing mail server is specified correctly, as directed by your email service provider.Verify your outgoing mail server
If you try to send a message and a dialog appears saying you need permission, an administrator has limited the email addresses you can correspond with. Click the Ask Permission button.Request permission to send messages
Choose Window > Connection Doctor, and follow any instructions displayed in the Details column. Check whether there is a problem with your outgoing mail server or a firewall, if applicable, or if there was a login failure. If the Connection Doctor indicates a firewall problem:Verify there is no firewall software blocking email traffic on port 25, 465, or 587.Check whether you’re affected by another firewall. This could be either software installed separately from Mac OS X or built into an Internet sharing router, or software administered by your Internet service provider. Contact the appropriate person to find out whether a firewall exists.
You may be able to send messages from only a certain location. For example, if you send messages from school, you may not be allowed to send messages using the school’s outgoing mail server when you’re at home. Or, the email service provider may allow you to send messages but with stricter settings (such as requiring a name and password). Get the information you need from your provider and then change the outgoing mail server settings in Mail preferences.

Able to receive but not send email

I am able to receive email, but not send or reply to email. iPhone says "Invalid Sender Address" What can I do about this?

This sounds like the usual issue you come across where you can't send email unless you are using the sending server of the ISP whose service you are connected to. The simplest way round this seems to be to get a GMail account. Enable POP in the account settings, see http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=13273 and then use the GMail sending server instead of your existing smtp server. If your ISP doesn't have authenticated servers that work over other ISPs networks this seems to be the easiest workaround and has the added advantage that GMail uses SSL for it's connections so it is more secure.
There is a good set of instructions for setting GMail up on the iPhone, see http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=72454
