I can't send anything in Mail.

I'm not sure if my emails are being sent in Mail on my MacBook Pro.  The status says the time they've been "sent," but they just stay in the Outbox.  I also should've been receiving emails, but I'm not.  PLUS, the Mail dialogue box keeps popping up, asking me for my password (which I give), then it just keeps popping up again until I cancel it.  I did go to Preferneces recently and change my password, so could that be preventing the emails from being sent?  Please let me know!

I know this situation well, and there are several solutions.
1. Temporary fix. If you have access to webmail like ATT or Earthlink, get your email this way. That means you'll continue getting your email as you work out the kinks in Mail. If your webmail provider or ISP can't help, then proceed to 2.
2. Check all configurations. There is almost certainly an issue with your configuration, but there's a lot of detail work to deal with. First, I'd go to this link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2500
This will provide you with a procedure that will help.
3. Double check your configuration. Even a mistake of one letter or space can render your work useless.

  • Ever since moving to the cloud I have been unable to use the email account on my mac. I have now resolved the incoming mail issue but can't send anything unless I go to the cloud. My mac is too old to operate Lion.

    Can anyone help[ me to reset the mail setting on my mac book. Ever since my move the icloud I can't send or receive mail from my account, only from icloud?
    Many thanks.
    Ian

    Greetings Ian,
    Lion is required for iCloud which is a bit of information they tell you when you do the migration from MobileMe to iCloud: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
    Because you are using an older version of OS X, Mail is attempting to talk to the old MobileMe mail servers when iCloud is on a different set of servers.
    You will have to reconfigure Mail to use the new servers.
    Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts
    Click on the MobileMe account listed on the left.
    Go to Advanced and remove the check mark for "enable"
    Click the plus sign at the bottom left and add a new account
    Enter in your full @me.com e-mail address and then the password
    Hold down the "option" key on your keyboard and click the "continue" button (this allows you to manually enter e-mail server information)
    For "account type" choose "IMAP"
    Fill in the rest of the fields following http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
    Assuming all your information is present and you can send and receive you can return to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and remove the old MobileMe account.
    Hope that helps.

  • As of 1:00pm Thursday, 3/1/12, I am no longer receiving any email, nor can I send anything out from my account. I am OS4.1.1, hoping to upgrade next week to Leopard (because my mac is not Intel-based), but in the meantime, it's non-functional.

    Is anyone else having problems with the email? I am not receiving any emails, nor can I send anything out. Spent 30 minutes on online chat last night with someone most unhelpful, only to be told that the reason I'm not receiving anything is because my email is being forwarded to another address. I set my preferences to do that several years ago when this mac.com/me.com server began having so many issues, to ensure I was receiving email so I could check from my other address. The only comment I got was well, we no longer support 10.4.1 so there isn't anything we can do to help you. The status update says 33% of their customers are unable to migrate. So I'm pretty sure I'm not alone and that is a pretty large base of customers to no longer provide support to. Is anyone else who has not migrated to iCloud experiencing these email problems? Currently my iDisk works to transfer my larger files, but my email does not.

    Hello, here's the fix I think...
    I think they're slowly nudging people to switch, .mac & MobileMe are going away about July, may as well set it up now.
    I understand .mac mail will still come through.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    • Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    • SSL Required: Yes
    • Port: 993
    • Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    • Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
    • Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    • SSL Required: Yes
    • Port: 587
    • SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    • Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    • Password: Your iCloud password

    I have been experiencing the same problem. My mail app won't even open on my Late 2011 Macbook Pro. It will show as open, but the app will never actually show up.

  • Can I send an e-mail to a specific person in Communities?  Want to thank them for their answer to a question that I didn't ask.  Just wanted to give him/her feedback that their info was very helpful.  Just a pat on the back to perhaps brighten their day.

    If you click on the person's name, you go to the public profile they have posted.  If there is an email address given you can email directly.  If not, you cannot email the person directly.
    You could post a reply to the persons reply on the communities to note their help.

    Is this on wifi or cellular data?
    Have you tried a reset? Hold down the home/power button until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    Have you gone into the email settings and making sure the password are still there?

    I can't send emails via mail. I can receive but not send. I have set up gmail on mail. Any ideas? No problems with the set up previously to this.

    Go to Mail Preferences- Accounts and confirm you are providing Gmail what they require to send and receive mail. And DON'T specify Secure Socket Layer. Some mail accts don't like SSL
    Good Luck to you.

  • Why I can't send any e-mail messages with 6230i?

    Hi mates,
    I have a Nokia 6230i with a Vodafone Italian sim card in it.
    I know for sure that I CAN retrieve messages form my incoming POP3 e-mail server but I can't send any e-mail messages with it.
    Any time I try to do that it prompts me an information balloon saying: message failed. Why??
    I mean, I properly set up my phone with all Vodafone details but it still does not seem to work.
    Any help will be appreciate
    Stefano.
    P.S.
    I can even send and receive MMS and of course SMS too
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    thanks mate for your reply
    When you say: "Make sure your SP allows sending e-mail"
    Do you mean the provider who give me the mail service?
    Because I know for sure that with MS Outlook express I can send and recive e-mail with it
    Bye,
    Stefano.

    Hi, i am having the same problem. this is what i have noticed.
    I have 2 x imac's and 2 x macbook air's
    i upgraded the 2 macbook air's and 1 of the imac's to Mountain Lion, all these have problems acessing sites that require you to login .
    the one remaining imac is still running lion and works perfect.
    i am using a dlink router with DD-WRT firmware, i tested teathering from my iphone and i can log into websites fine using the newly upgraded mac's.
    It's not a wireless issue as my imac is using an ethernet connection.
    is there a compatibility issue with some routers.

  • I have lost my sent box and can't send any e.mails

    I can't send any e.mails out It would appear that I have lost everything to do with my sent box

    Hi mummyh66xx,
    What is your email provider? Is it Yahoo!, Gmail, Hotmail, MSN, or possibly another provider?
    If your emails have disappeared from your Sent folder, it's likely that it's related to your email provider, regardless of the browser you are using to navigate.
    We suggest you contact the Support team of the email provider you are using, so that they can further investigate the issue and possibly recover your lost emails.
    Best of luck! Please let us know if you have any other questions.
    Thanks!!
    - Ralph
