Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.
If nothing above helped, restart your router.
No data is lost due to a reset.

Yahoo's servers are notoriously unreliable. Use the "Yahoo" account type when setting it up. If it doesn't work, and you are positive the credentials are correct, wait a while and try again.
While you're waiting, set up a free gmail or iCloud email account.

Since 2 days can't send emails via Apple Mail

Hi,
for 2 days now I'm unable to send emails from Apple Mail.
I have an Hotmail account (using POP3) and a WEB.DE account (using IMAP) connected with Mail. Every time I try to send an email Mail tells me the SMTP server are offline. My mobile.me account though works properly.
To exclude problems with certain ports on my WLAN router I tried to use Thunderbird on my Windows PC with these accounts. Sending emails this way wasn't a problem at all.
Also deleting all accounts and setting them up again didn't make a change...
Even changing the OS back from Lion to SL hasn't made an impact.
Any suggestions what might cause this weird problem?

Hello P:
Since each one is different, I suspect the best answer to your question lies with your ISP.

Can't send email through Apple mail

I suddenly am not able to send email through Apple mail on my MacBookPro. ipad and iphone still working. I can also send email through att online. My email is @att.net, and the message says "The server cannot be contacted on port 465". (That is the proper port)

Hi,
Here are some suggestions,
1. Try downloading another free email client to see if it works from there, just to eliminate other possibilities.
2. Try removing the account in mail settings, and adding it again with the correct settings.
Let me know what you find!

Can't Send email w/Apple Mail connected to Exchange Server 2007

I've tried to connect to our OWA Exchange server w/Entourage and nobody can help me to make it work. I can connect w/Apple Mail and recieve fine, but I can't send email. Any ideas or suggestions on how to allow me to send out email w/Apple Mail??

Hello:
I have the same issue. I am on a Macbook Pro 2 Gb RAM Rev A. OS X 10.5.3 apple mail 3.3. I have setup a corporate exchange owa (2007) account and can receive emails. I cannot send any from this exchange account. on the same Mac I have Entourage and it can receive and send emails. What is the difference and what do I have to do to make Apple Mail work and be able to send emails as well.
Thanks,

I am unable to send emails using apple mail, but can still receive

A very odd situation this. I have a couple of POP3 accounts and an Exchange server account. All was going well until a few days ago when all my accounts stopped sending mail, but still continued to receive mail. I have removed each account and restored it but this hasn't worked, the timer is constantly spinning against the 'Sent' header. All these accounts work in their webmail version so I have to conclude the fault is with Apple Mail. Can anyone help please? Thanks.

HT5577 Unable to receive the verivication email from Apple

Hello, I have try to create a apple id, and using the procedure I must receive a verification email. So far I don't receive anything. The same problem has another friend of me. Does anyone know what happened, and don't receive this email?

You can get another verification email sent out by going to id.apple.com and logging in using Manage Apple ID. The button will be on the first page just under your primary email.
If you still don't receive it, the email may be linked to another Apple ID already. Check any other IDs that you know of belonging to friends or family. Your email could be linked as a secondary or rescue email. If so, remove it and request the verification email from your account again.
If the prior steps still do not get the email to you, call Apple directly and ask for Account Security. They can usually force the email to be sent if they can verify your identity as the account owner. The verification is usually just answering your security questions, giving details about the credit card linked to the account, or confirming a code sent out to your devices.
Good luck!

Sub-account cannot send email from Apple Mail

I've tried setting up two sub-accounts to send/receive email but no matter what I try, these accounts error out on sending email. Looks like they aren't recognized by smtp server. Is there a different setting for sub-accounts?

I fixed my problem - I deleted my email account on my iPhone, then tried to setup a new account. I had a few problems setting it up. It wouldn't recognize the incoming or outgoing servers and I lost my email altogether for a few hours. Then I changed every setting possible and finally figured out that I had 2-3 "Other SMTP Servers" as well as my "Primary Server". Once I deleted the Other SMTP Servers, my email worked and i'm able to send emails now!
I also think changing the "Server Port" number helped solve my problem also, and making sure "Use SSL" was turned off.

Please Help! Trouble sending email from Apple Mail to PC-users

When sending email in RTF format from Mail to PCs, we have som trouble which I havent found out how to solve:
1) the PC user gets a scrambler email, in which some of the text is like "chinese". Illegible! This seems to happen especialle with PDFs attached.
2) Graphics or pictures we wish to appear directly in the mail is not visible to the receiver, but is only included as attachments.
I know most mail encoding problems can be avoided if we send mail i the "old" simple text format. But we wish to send mails in which our company logo appears in the signature, and sometimes we send graphics and pictures that we wish to be seen directly in the mail (and not as attached files only).
I have set the preferences so that mails as standard are send in RTF format and attachments are send in the "windows friendly" mode.
What really irritates me is that we have more success sending PC friendly mails from Entourage. But for two other reasons we wish to use Mail instead of Enrourage (Entourage has more crash downs/"broken" database issues. And we use Plaxo which does not sync with Entourage)..
Could some of you Please help or direct me to helpfull info?
Sincerely ...Peter and Thomas

Hello Peter.
Your OS detail provided indicates you are running 10.3.9 but you posted in the Mail & Address Book - Tiger discussions.
1) When you say PC user, more than likely the PC users reporting this problem are using Outlook for their email client since Outlook has always had problems with Mail's RTF and sometimes severe problems depending on the version used by the recipient. Using Plain Text for message composition will resolve this but check this link for an alternative.
http://homepage.mac.com/thgewecke/woutlook.html
2) All Mail.app versions prior to Tiger Mail (2.x) do not support composing in HTML. RTF with Tiger Mail is HTML but Tiger Mail does not include an HTML composer/editor.
The Mail.app displays all photo/image and single page PDF attachments inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default which cannot be turned off. This is not the same as being embedded which cannot be done with any Mail.app version directly regardless. Depending on the recipient's email client and available settings, such attachments may appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message when the message is opened by the recipient (as when receiving such attachments with the Mail.app) or as attached files only which must be opened separately to be viewed for which the sender has no control over.
The same in reverse. Photo/image attachments to a Windows Outlook message appear as attached files only when the message is sent but when sent to a Mail.app user, such attachments will appear inline or viewed in place within the body of the message when the message is opened which the Windows Outlook user has no control over.
The company logo included with your Signature is likely appearing as an attached file to the message only but how the logo appears when opened by the recipient depends on the recipient's email client.
The only thing the Windows Friendly Attachment option does is remove the Apple resource fork for attached files which are invisible to fellow Mac users.

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.
-Jonathan

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't send email using Apple Mail with Verizon

My Verizon settings in my Apple Mail program will not send mail. I am using my correct password and userid for authentication. I use outgoing.verizon.net server and port 587. Should I be using a different port setting?

port 110 is the port number for the incoming (pop) mail server, port 25 is the port number for the outgoing (smtp) mail server. If they were insisting that you use port 110 for the outgoing (smtp) mail server, that is because the tech support rep with whom you spoke was not a very clueful person. These are established standard port numbers for those services.

I am unable to receive or send emails, when I go into settings I cannot resolve this problem as I have forgotten my password and don't know how to reset it any suggestions

I am unable to send or receive emails, when I go into settings I have forgotten my password but I don't know how I can change it, or is it the same password used for my appleID

Thanks, someone else told me yahoo is an issue. No, not the fan itself is what I'm asking, but the dots preceding it. Sometimes there are 3 up, sometimes 4, sometimes 2. Just wondered if they are the signal strength. I should actually walk in different parts of the house and see if they change in different rooms.

I am unable to attach files to emails in apple mail.

When I click on the paper clip option to attach a file, it takes me through the usual process, but does not attach the file. I've tried with various types of files (PDF's, pictures, spread sheets). Also tried from another user on the machine as well as a new 'clean' user account. I also repaired permissions. Still no luck
If I drag a file to the mail icon it opens a new message an appears to insert the attachment. However, the attachment is either empty or unusable. It simply opens into a blank Text Edit document.
Any help? Not sure what to do next

Set up Yahoo.fr email on Apple Mail

Hi everyone,
I just got FiOS installed at home but I am unable to send emails using Apple Mail. The verizon smtp server seems to reject my email address (Yahoo.fr (France) email account) and I can't connect to yahoo.fr smtp servers.
Is Verizon only accepting .com email accounts?
Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your help.
If you're going to use the Verizon.net servers, you have to authenticate to them with your @verizon.net email address. You should be able to configure this and still ahve it work to send from your Yahoo.fr address.
Most likely the Yahoo.fr SMTP server is not connecting because is uses port 25. Verizon blocks port 25 for 3rd party domains. You would need to use an alternate port. More information on the block can be found here: http://www.verizon.net/port25
