I can't send email!! Please help!

I have a yahoo account that I access through Mail. Suddenly I have not been able to send mail, but receive just fine. Please help!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Can you successfully send mail directly from the Yahoo account opened in your browser?
If you haven't changed anything recently, perhaps Yahoo is having problems.

Looks like (11/5/2011 at 10:11 pm EDT) Yahoo Mail is probably down.

Can't send emails, need help please...

Hi all,
I set up my new ipad a couple of days ago and all went well. Yesterday i synched it to my computer again and it acted like it had never seen the ipad and I had to redo everything (and lost all of my content). Everything seems to be working I just can't send emails. I have rechecked and everything has been put in correctly. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Martina

Thanks for answering and for the link. I tried deleting the email address and rein putting the info and I still can't send an email. I know the settings are correct because before the synch I was able to send and receive. Any other ideas please?

Optonline not sending email- please help

im trying to put optonline onto mac mail and it can recieve email just fine but i cannot send email. i checked the outgoing server and its correct. my password and user name are correct. please help!

Yes, try changing it to 587 for starters. You should check optonline's online help to see if they recommend a different port for SMTP. You might also need to change your authentication settings.

IChat can't send file, please help

After updating to OSX 10.4.4 my iChat cannot send any file, but it allows me to receive it. When I try to send the message to another person, it shows that it is waiting for me to start and in a couple seconds later I would get an error message stating that the other person did not accepth the file.
I have seen these problem around the forum, but yet any of them have been answer.
Is it the new 10.4.4 that is causing it? Anyone with solution please help.
P.S. I also tried open port 5190, but it is not working.

Hi APT015,
Ok.
Most Connection devices come, as default, with DHCP turned on.
This means the device (Linksys and Airports) are their own server giving out Addresses dynamically to your Local Network.
As by default most devices have port 1-1024 open and not part of any methods to open them you tend to be able to add a whole bunch of DHCP server together and applications that use ports below the 1024 threshold can work (web browsing, Mail, FTP to upload Web pages to a server or download files)
Having IP given out by different devices creates Subnets on your LAN.
Because of the way routers in particular handle IP addresses given out by previuos devices your computer can recieve more than one IP address on the LAN (Although only one can be seen on the Mac)
Pause.
So you have several things to deal with here.
1) The Mac Firewall if it is On.
2) The DHCP serving on your Network.
3) The way the method you use of Opening the ports in one device effects the result of opening the ports on the other device.
To Solve 1) look at the table on this page
Also look at the instructions and Pics of the Firewall on this one
To solve 2) do this:
Open Airport Admin Utility found in Application/Utlities
Log on to the Airport
Go to the NEtwork tab
Deselect "Distributing Addresses"
Apply cahnges
As this also turns of NAT in the Airport it adds to solving 3)
For Finishing 3) completely do this:
Type 192.168.1.1 in to your web browser like a page address
Type Admin for both User ID and Password.
Go to the Adminsrtaion tab
Enable UPnP
Save Settings.
For other people following this go to http://portforward.com/routers.htm and follow the links to iChat and the Pics and Instructions for your modem.
You should use this site to see if the Pics show where the UPnP is if your Modem has it, not to mention finding out the default IP address of the modem and the default User ID and Passwords.
What this achieves is the modem is still doing DHCP to your Network. It is opening the ports by UPnP. The Airport is now basically a wireless access point. The Airport and computer now have IP addresses from the Modem only.

TS3276 Inadvertently deleted Outgoing SMTP Mail Server. Entered correct Yahoo email SMTP info and now SMTP is "Offline". Can't SEND emails. Help!

Inadvertently deleted SMTP Outgoing Mail Server address. Re-entered correct mail service provider's address and now have '(Offline)' tagged on server name. Can't SEND any emails. When I try, message will not send but goes into Outbox and sits. How can I get this SMTP address 'Online'? Help!

For whatever reason Yahoo blocked access to their mail servers from Apple Mail in the past couple of days. I deleted my Yahoo account in Apple Mail and tried to add it back. NO JOY.
Today, Yahoo has reopened their servers so that I could add my Yahoo account to Apple Mail again successfully. Even w the second app password.
The problem was at Yahoo. Apple Mail people were either blocked or knocked off from their Yahoo servers for a time. This may happen again as it has in the past. I hope it doesn't become a frequent happening.

Cut off from server cant send emails please help

using thunderbird I cannot se.d emails .I keep getting asked for a new password ,to no avail .Iam told Iam cut
off from the server.How to retrieve the situation is the question

To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try one of the following:
*Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
*Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]
; If safe mode for the operating system fixes the issue, there's other software in your computer that's causing problems. Possibilities include but not limited to: AV scanning, virus/malware, background downloads such as program updates.

Can't send email. Help?

Beginning last night (Sept. 11), I've been unable to send messages from my .mac account. No indication, as I'm sending them, that there is any problem; but none have been received. Has anyone else experienced this? Any solutions other than crossing my fingers?

Greetings,
Questions:
1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
3. Do you use MobileMe/ iCloud or another server based sync solution like Google or Yahoo?
4. Do other changes to synced information like Address Book content sync successfully back and forth?
Based on your description it sounds like you have a 1 way sync issue. Events sync fine between the iOS devices and fine from the computer to the iOS devices but not from the iOS devices to the computer.
Try:
Backup your computer and iOS devices before doing anything else:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Ensure all the devices in use are fully up to date: Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update
Make separate backups of critical data:
Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
Backup your computer iCal: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966
Reset syncing on your Mac: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
Reply back if that does not resolve your issue.
Hope that helps.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

TS3899 I can't SEND email from Telus account in Alberta, Canada? Does anyone know how to set up the Outgoing server? Help! And thanks!

Can't SEND email from Telus account in Alberta, Canada, unless I go to web mail. Does anyone know how to set up the Outgoing server? Incoming is fine. Outgoing used to work. We changed it when we went to another location, and can't get it back. Telus support can't fix it. Neither smtp.telus.net NOR mail.telus.net works for Outgoing server to send mail. Please help! Thanks.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

I can't send emails from iPhone until I connect to my wifi! I am with bigpond and have a bigpond email address. Can anyone help me?

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

If you don't know your ID, you can try to find it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625. Then you can reset the password as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617. Of course, you can only do this if it's your ID.

Hi,
This sounds like it is about Window positions.
iChat has Default places for Incoming Invites.
Video is always top Center of your Screen
Audio and Text chats are Upper right with the Audio slightly lower than Text Chats.
Secondary invites are sort of Stacked like when you open multiple files from the same App.
Your outgoing Windows are "Remembered" as to where the last one was when you used it.
This can be an issue if you use your Mac with a second display and turn Off Mirroring.
You windows can get "left" on the other screen.
Go to System Preferences > Displays and turn On Mirroring and the windows should come back to one Screen/display.
If this does not help go to your Home Folder/Library/Preferences and delete (Drag to Trash) com.apple.ichat.plist and restart iChat.
Unfortunately you will need to reset any iChat Preferences you have changed from defaults.

Can't send emails. Can you help pls? Thanks.

Hi, my Mac Book Pro won't let me send emails. It says: Outgoing mail server (SMTP): Gmail Offline. Can you help pls? Thanks.

Help. I have the same problem. I can receive email but can not send email from my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.4.
I have been reading posts about this issue until my eyes are rectangular.
I have tried the following:
1. Removing the passwords from the keychain.
2. Trying the various ports (default set, custom 25 alone, custom 465 alone, custom 587 alone)
3. Unticking the Use SSL box. Interesting note, it sometimes self-ticks this box.
4. Supplying full email name in the userid box. Interesting note, it sometimes self-corrects to just the plain userid prefix.
5. Running repair disk permissions
6. Turning offline all mailbox accounts and then turning then back online.
7. Rebooting numerous times
8. Force Quit of Mail and numerous normal quits and restarts.
9. All software updates have been installed.
10. I may have forgotten some of the more bizarre things I have tried but I have not got to the point of deleting the entire account (and all of its 3 years of emails).
I have a sister MacBook Pro (same operating system, larger screen, same ISP, same email provider, same power source, etc.) sitting right next to this one and it is working fine - mail comes in and mail goes out. It is on the same network and I have dutifully copied all of the parameters and this still does not solve the issue. Surely, there is more witchcraft out there that I can try? New to this "posting" process. Not even sure how to get back to see if anyone has any further suggestions. Thanks to all those who have tried to provide suggestions. Much appreciated but I am still stuck with webmail! Arghhhh. Ron
