I can receive messages but cannot send them; a big red "X"

Solved!
Go to Solution.

We're going to need a lot more information here.  what kind of messages?  Emails, Text Messages?  If email messages then what email service (gmail, hotmail, etc.) are you using and when you open the mail with the red x and scroll up into the headers what is the error message you receive? 
Please be as specific as you can be about the problem and whether or not you've contacted your carrier about the issue, as well.

  • Mail can receive messages but cannot send them

    I can receive messages in Mail but suddenly I cannot send them.
    I just had my hard drive replaced. Runing 10.7.2.
    I can send message using my iPad and the same account.

    Check all your server setting on that account for the correct username and password, port number and the server address (POP/imap.Mail.XXX.com/net).
    This is the only reason mail will not be sent. Incorrect settings on the account.
    It may be best to delete the account and recreate it. that way you aren't skipping over the incorrect setting as we humans often do.
    Just like I didn't type a capitol T on That in the above sentence. Although I caught that one.

  • I have set up my Yahoo! account to be used as default mail account on iMac. I am receiving messages, but cannot send them.  All settings appear to be right.  What can I do?

    I have set up my Yahoo! account to be used as default mail account on iMac. I am receiving messages, but cannot send them.  All settings appear to be right.  What can I do?

    The problems I am having are when I use Yahoo! with the iMac mail application.  Yahoo works fine on the browser. 
    The outgoing settings I am using are:
    Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): yahoo.co.uk (Offline)
    Description: yahoo.co.uk
    Server name: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    Use default ports (25, 465, 587)
    Use SSL
    Authentication: Password
    User Name:  ********@yahoo.co.uk
    Password: *************
    Of note:
    I cannot stop it from saying Offline after the outgoing mail server.
    I have used the same settings on my ipad and iphone and that works fine.
    Really grateful if you can help.
    Thanks

    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forwardimportant messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact from the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    Back up and restore your iPhone as new.
    If your carrier has recently ported your phone number, the porting process may not be complete. Contact your carrier to confirm that the porting process is complete.
    Contact your carrier to confirm that you are provisioned for sending SMS and are in an area with cellular coverage.
    Contact your carrier to verify there are no blocks or filters placed on your wireless account preventing you from sending SMS.
    Cheers,

  • I can receive texts, but cannot send them

    When I try to send a text, I have a new looking screen that shows a "subject" line, I can type a text, but the 'send' button is subdued and will not allow me to send a text. This just happened today. Yesterday, I could send texts, but not MMS. According to ATT, everything is OK on my account and I should have full texting ability.
    Any thoughts?

    you have to type below the grey line under subject. The send wont show till something is typed below the line.

  • Whilst travelling we have plugged in an optus wireless broadband, we can receive emails but not send them, we normally use an adsl broadband connection

    whilst travelling we are using an optus wireless modem, we can receive emails but cannot send them.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == we used the optus pre paid boadband usb modem

    Hello Carol.
    Although possibly not related to your problem, I will remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
    As for your issue, you need to provide more information. Firefox is not an email client. You may be having a problem with the email client you use, or with the site you are using to handle emails...

  • I can receive text but cannot send text msgs

    I can receive text but cannot send text msgs,can make outgoing calls..with full signals on my network provider and everytime i send message it displays" not delivered" and when i tap the retry it failed to send again.

    I have a Nokia N96 and i can recieve texts, but i am unable to send ones, i have signal and everything, i got told to make sure that there is a mobile phone looking number on the messaging center, if there is no one, contact my phone provider, but there is a number, and it still will not send texts. Is the mobile number in the messaging center, my actual phone number??
    Sorry i asked this on you discussion, but its soo confusing .
    The mobile phone looking number is what you call the message center number. Contact your service provider to get the actual one. Then, make sure that you have the same number updated in Messaging -> Options -> Settings -> Text messages -> Msg. centre in use.
    This is not your "actual phone number".

  • User can receive email but cannot send

    Hi,
    I'm migrating a domain in an organization to another new domain. Now, we are migrating the workstations to the new domain. Users are not migrated, they are completely new in the new domain.
    So, the problem is that we have a workstation in the new domain and the user from new domain logged on on this machine. The user has successfully configured is old exchange account in Outlook (Exchange server is still in the old domain) and can receive email,
    but cannot send. 
    Can someone help please to find what is wrong?

    Hi Silva,
    Thank you for your question.
    Is there NDR when you send email?
    Which way outlook connect Exchange 2013?
    Where is email which was sent? “sent item” or “Draft”?
    Which user mailbox use when you configure profile? New domain user or old domain user?
    We could create a trust between new domain and old domain:
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc779840(WS.10).aspx
    We could ping old domain successfully on the new domain.
    If we have created mailbox for new domain user on old exchange, we could refer to the following link:
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998031(v=exchg.150).aspx?f=255&mspperror=-2147217396
    In addition, we suggest we migrate user and Exchange to new domain as soon as possible.
    If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
    Best Regard,
    Jim

  • I can receive emails but cannot send Why?

    I am a new user of ipad2 . I have finished setup and can receive emails but cannot send what do I need to change

    Go to Settings > Mail, contacts, Calendars > your mail account > and see what it shows for Outgoing Mail Server.  Does it have a name for the SMTP server such as outgoing.isp name.net?  If you tap that outgoing server, go to the page that has Outgoing Mail Server and lists the server name, user name, password...is there a password indicated, does it say Use SSL, and does it give a Port number?

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

    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.
