  • I'm in a group message with 12 people. All are iPhone users, except for the token Galaxy user. I can receive messages, but I cannot send them. How can I fix this?

    Title says it all

    Hey kenth93939!
    Here is an article for you about group messages that has some helpful information and troubleshooting tips for this issue:
    iOS: Understanding group messaging
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760
    The Group Messaging setting applies only to MMS messages.
    Your wireless carrier may restrict the maximum number of recipients allowed in a group message with MMS.
    Disabling Group Messaging has no effect on iMessage behavior. Responses to group iMessages are always sent to all recipients.
    Group messaging with MMS requires an appropriate plan from your carrier for use on iPhone.
    Carrier messaging rates may apply when using group messaging with MMS.
    Additional Information
    It is not possible to remove yourself from a group message.
    To add or remove recipients, you must create a new group message conversation.
    If you experience an issue with iMessage, SMS, or MMS messaging, try the steps outlined in this article.
    To learn more about SMS, MMS, and iMessage see iOS: Using Messages.
    Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

  • TS3276 I can receive emails but I cannot send them. I have recently renewed my password. What do I do to send emails please?

    Help! I can receive emails but I cannot send them. I have recently changed my password. What am I doing wrong?

    You need to open Mail>Preferences>Accounts>"Account Information" tab>and there input the required information for your Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP).  Your Internet Service Provider will have the required information to give you to input here.  Make sure that you also click at the end of the line "Outgoing Mail Server" on the arrows to get the dropdown list, and there click on "Edit SMTP Server List" and fill in the data in that resulting window also.

  • Can receive messages, but can't open them

    We keep getting the following error message when we try to open messages, both new ones and past ones: "The message from <so-and-so> concerning 'subject' has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
    If we quit the application and reopen it, we can access the message, but then, a minute later, it'll revert to the error message.
    Help!

    Dear GBI,
    welcome to this forum! I gather from your information that you are not ON-LINE when you try to open the message. Most likely you are using a phone-in acount and somewhere in your acccount settings, messages over a certain size (e.g. 30kB) are left on the server. You have to decide that you want to receive them, reconnect to your server and than the whole message is downloaded to your computer! Hope this is helpful, otherwise give more detalis about your mode of connection ad type of account (POP, IMAP, ??. Success Frank

    I can recieve emails but cannot send them

    Go to Mail>Preferences. Select the account that you cannot send e-mails. What does the line item, "Outgoing Mail Server" say? If none is selected, select one that best associated with the account.

  • Can receive emails but can't send any

    Can receive messages but can't send any. What setting am I missing?

    I had this same problem with my zoho mail account.  It started when I changed my email password on the computer....Long story short I have been going crazy for a few days. I could receive mail, but couldn't send anything from that account! (Fortunately I have two other accounts which are a different server - gmail.) I turned my iPad2 off then on again...I did a sync with iTunes...I deleted the account and then added it back...Still it would not send..Just receive!
    I did finally get it fixed, but it took about an hour poking around and looking for help here.
    There were several problems:
    1. Somehow the server port numbers were incorrect. So when I added the account back in, I found that the "incoming server port" was not correct and fixed it. But I didn't see how to check the "outgoing server port." - somehow in the setting up process, that just wasn't exposed.
    2. Eventually I found the "outgoing server port" here:  - Go to Settings - General - Mail - Account. Then tap on the Account you need to fix. Check the information there to be sure it is correct.
    THEN: tap on the white bar just below the word "Outgoing mail Server"
    That takes you to "SMTP"
    You will see a primary server, and "other SMTP servers"
    Somehow I had 3 there that were the same account server name (zoho) ..all with the wrong port number!
    But even after fixing each one, I still couldn't send mail. This led to problem number 3:
    3. Apparently having 3 of the same account was a problem. After I deleted all three of the accounts, then tapped on "Add Server" and entered the information back in again. Bingo, I could send mail!!
    I don't know why, but now my "Primary Server" says "Not configured - off"
    And all the "Other" servers say "off" as well.
    But it's working so I am going to leave it as it is.
    I hope some of this is helpful.

    All messages are marked as spam, 5.7.1 ? how do I fix this, I can receive messages but cant send.

    Oh with the rot that goes on with emails and spam filters these days almost anything can be considered spam. Mail addresses to your self can be all that is required for it to be spam on some systems, so test using your email address to check it is working must be done with an account not hosted bu the same provider, given the web site is not blacklisted.
    I checked before replying, as brand new web sites are often blacklisted because they share a server or IP address range that is blacklisted (Poor neighborhood) or the server is run from a dynamic IP address and therefore considered to be a home computer with an infection.
    One thing you can try is go to the account settings on the tools menu, open the settings pane by clicking on the account name and removing any reply to address. (some spam filters get all excited about reply to addresses. If that does not work I suggest you contact hostbox for a more detailed instruction on why your mail is considered "confirmed spam".
    But please let us know how you get on.

  • TS3276 I can receive emails, but I cannot send emails. This just started happening. I have an iPhone and I can send emails from my phone fine. It's just not working on my Macbook. Every time I try to send an email it goes straight to my outbox. Can anyone

    I can receive emails, but I cannot send emails. This just started happening. I have an iPhone and I can send emails from my phone fine. It's just not working on my Macbook. Every time I try to send an email it goes straight to my outbox. Can anyone help?

    Thank you for heading me in the right direction.  I reset my Mail account for Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net:(customer ID)@att.net (instead of smtp.att.yahoo.com, per Apple's online troubleshooting information).   I'm not sure what "(Offline)" means when it appears at the end of my Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)??  In the Advanced box I clicked on "Use custom port:  465" and checked "Use Secure Sockets Layer."  Authentication:  Password; I have correct User Name and Password put in.  After doing all this, when I try to send emails again today, they go directly to the Outbox and sit there. 
    What's curious is that my first sent email this morning did go out using the Outgoing Mail Server, smtp.att.yahoo.com: (customer ID)@att.net(Offline) but subsequent emails I tried to send with this server were rejected with the message:  "Cannot send message using the server smtp.att.yahoo.com (etc.).  The SMTP server doesn't support TLS(SSL) on port 587.  Verify your account settings and try again."  That's when I tried resetting my Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net (etc.), as mentioned above, and was unsuccessful in sending out any further emails.  I guess my next step is to contact my email service provider, AT&T, and see if they can help me.  Thanks, again, for taking the time to respond and for giving me your input!  Much appreciated!

  • HT2500 I can receive messages, but I can't receive them...???

    OOPs.. I can receive messages, but I can't send them!! 

    Then that means that the user that you are trying to reach has not setup and registered Messages on their iDevice. They have to set it up first before you can reach them. And you can only message with other iOS users, not with Android devices or other cell phones.

  • I can receive email but can't send it.

    I have Cox email. I can receive messages but when I try to send it says it cannot connect to the smtp server. I have deleted the account and added it again and have verified the password via cox webmail.

  • HT1277 i can receive mail but unable to send mail

    i can receive mail but unable to send mail

    I'm yet another person who upgraded to Maverick OSX. I'm now thinking, "BIG mistake". Mail was working perfectly. Then, last night, Mail stopped sending.
    I've checked everything. Comcast servers are set up correctly. Mail works fine on my ipad, but will not send. It gives me a SMPT error of "Cannot send message using the server comcast.net--authentication rejected" Comcast.net (Offline). I can not get it back online. I've also tried the fixes here, but there is no info.plist by those names in my library!
    Anyone have any other ideas how to get this working again? Apple's OS's have been pretty decently stable in the past. I had no thought that the upgrade would be so problematic. Live and Learn.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

  • Problem: Cannot send mail unless Password is transmitted insecurely & Port is set to 587.. Can receive mail but can't send..

    Problem: Cannot send mail unless Password is transmitted insecurely & Port is set to 587.. Can receive mail but can't send Code 501..
    Need help with T-bird.. My OS is Win XP-64..Have been using Mozilla for about 10 years with little or no problems.. This happened when I upgraded to 3.17.. Spent hours on T-Bird diagnostics web site.. Called Comcast & talked to a net tech.. he ran some tests on his end & had me log into my Comcast e-mail account & all worked well,, so he concluded the problem was in T-Bird.. He had me change my port to 587 & disable connection security & authentication to none & I was able to send mail.. That was all he could do.. Comcast was working.. the problem is in T-Bird.. Can any one help with this problem.. I don't want to send mail with my password transmitted insecurely..
    Thanks

    It was not intended to be "snide". You said two separate things that at face value would be out of the ordinary.
    I considered if it might be a typo for 31.7. Since 31.5 is the current formal release, I would have to thank you for volunteering to test a pre-release beta version. If it was truly 3.1.7 then it would appear that you have chosen, or have become stuck with a somewhat ancient version. In either case it's harder to reach out to you with any meaningful comments or advice. However I do watch various other sites and newsgroups and I don't see a clamour of distressed users, so it seems fair to suppose that this feature isn't actually broken in 31.7.
    And you said XP 64. XP is obsolete and no longer supported and if there is a 64-bit version, then again you have set yourself apart from the mainstream.
    I had a look at the comcast site and found some puzzling recommendations. Some users come here asking how to set up a secured connection in Thunderbird when it isn't offered by the server. Comcast are different, in that they mention the ports 143 and 587, and also 993 and 465. So far so good, in that security is actually on offer, but they also suggest that you enable SSL, regardless of which port is being used. It would be unusual and unconventional to offer TLS or SSL on ports 143 and 587. STARTTLS would be more credible on these ports.
    Have you tried IMAP on 993 and SMTP on 465? SMTP on 587 with SSL, or TLS, is not impossible, but is improbable.
