I cannot email from iPhoto
When I email from iPhoto 9.5.1, I get this message "The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination." My server is gmail and iPhoto/Preference/Account was autofilled. I deleted and filled my password to make sure but I still get this error message. MacbookAir, OSX 10.9.3
I was trying to send the photos from iPhoto as I get a better choice of format ...
The iPhoto templates are nice, but iPhoto as mailer has not been working well with gmail in the past.
By using "Mail" as mail client, you could use the Mail stationary instead. These templates are also quit nice.

Cannot email from iPhoto: internet not connected message
I am using the latest version of iPhoto and also have just upgraded to Yosemite, though this problem has existed forever and I am just now at my limit of tolerance.
I get a message that says my internet is not connected or working properly; completely false btw. I have tried deleting my accounts in iPhoto and reinstalling them to no avail.
What do I do?I could have sworn that I had chosen the options you suggested in the first place. I did change to select Mail as the app and after your message, I tried once again to select iPhoto as the email app and yes, my iCloud account was at the top of the account list in iPhoto. This time the email from iPhoto worked perfectly.
As they say in NYC..."Go figure"
Thanks for the help

I give up - cannot email from iPhoto 11
I have tried all suggestions on this forum, discarded preferences, etc. but cannot email a picture from iPhoto. The blue "send" line just goes to the right and stays stuck there every time. Nothing is sent. Has anyone had this problem and solved it? Thanks.
Yes I have the same problem exactly.
In my email preferences,Outlook i don't use mac mail ( hate the new one, another story)
It appears I don't need a user name and password for my outgoing mail only incoming.
So as iphoto is only sending out, i deleted any username or password and it works.
ie only outgoing server and port 25.
I pressed the send button and received the photos during a test.
But here is the kicker, iphoto won't let me save these preferences without a username and password, but it does let me send while the preferences dialogue box is open without the username and password entered.

Cannot email from iPhoto 9.2 with my MobileMe-email only account.
Mac OS 10.6.8, iPhoto 9.2
I can send emails from my MobileMe regular account, but not from my MobileMe-email only account. I keep getting the alert:
"Your email was not sent. Please wait a few moments and then try sending your email agan."
Anyone know why?Yup, I have exactly the same problem like you have.
I thought it was a problem with Apple's iCloud server but one of my friend told me this morning that he didn't have any problem with iPhoto' s iCloud email sending.
Do I have to do all the clean install from the beginning or what?
This thing is really bugging me I didn't have any problem when I was using mobileme account connected with iphoto back then.
I'm not even sure if it's the problem with Lion or iPhoto or iCloud anymore...
Somebody help with this matter, pleaseeeee -
Signature photo broken when emailing from iPhoto
I have a photo above my name in my default signature in Mail. When I click the Email" button in iPhoto to send photos via email, my signature photo shows up as and icon that reads "Untitled (82kb)".
The photo in my signature works FINE if I create a new email, but not in the new emails that iPhoto creates with the pictures attached.
I added the photo to the signature field in Mail's preferences by dragging and dropping the .JPG file from the Finder. That, and copying and pasting seems to be the only way to put a photo in a signature. Neither method works when initiating an email from iPhoto.
Mail 2.1
iphoto 5.0.4
Any ideas, anyone?
Thanks!Marius,
set the mailer in the iPhoto Preferences to "Mail.app", not to "iPhoto"
iPhoto > Preferences > General
Email Photos using: Mail
This way you will be able to mail your photos directly from iPhoto, but you cannot use the iPhoto cards; use the Mail Photo stationary instead, once the mail panel opens.
For some reason mailing using iPhoto as Mailer works for me only, if I am mailing from my iCloud accoun,t and if Mail is set to use the iCloud account by default.

My photos shrink in size when emailed from IPHOTO or attached - How can I fix this. My friends say they can't see my pictures... thanks!!
When you email from iPhoto, you have a choice as to the size of the picture - choose medium and your friends will be able to see them. By the way, do your friends click on the photo attachment in the mail to open it?

When emailing from iphoto with a template, the recipients' address comes up incorrect (a couple of letters are wrong). The addresses are correct in both my email accounts, including the one I am using for the iphoto email. I have corrected the address prior to sending the email, but they come up with the same errors the next time I choose them in the iphoto 11 program. How do I correct thes email addresses? thank you
In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account. The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

Error message when trying to email from iPhoto
Just spoke to Apple support because I was unable to email from iPhoto unless I went through Mail (i.e. no templates). I had struggled with this for some months. The patient and helpful Apple people solved the problem after a couple of hours. Two-step verification in iCloud was the source. Since the email originates in the iPhoto app, it is necessary to use an app-specific password in iPhoto/ preferences/accounts/iCloud account.
That's why my wife's computer didn't have the problem. She doesn't have two-step verification enabled.
Thanks to Apple for the excellent support.Yes, LarryHN is right - two-step verification seems to be causing this problem in some cases.
Other forum members reported, that creating an app-specific password is required, see the post below:
Re: I am using iPhoto version 9.6 and I can no longer get an email sent with a photo attached. I get an error message saying the email did not go through because the server did not reply. I can send the photo with Mail. Help!in response to Gary Kissler
This solution is for those of you using 2-step verification for your Apple ID and are using iCloud as the mail server that you are trying to mail photos with.
I too had this issue. The problem in my case occurred because I had setup 2-step authentication for my Apple ID. If you have done this then you will get the error message "the mail server did not recognize your email/password...". To solve the problem go to:
https://appleid.apple.com
Click "Manage Your Apple ID"
Verify your identity with the device you selected (if this step does not show up then you have not likely set up 2-step authentication and this is not your solution)
Click Password and Security in the left column
Click Generate an app-specific password
Enter iPhoto as the name of the app
Copy the password and paste this into the password box in iPhoto where you would normally enter your apple ID (in the mail account section in iPhoto preferences).
And...voila' (I hope) -

Think the correct question is :
Is there anything to do with Outlook 2011 V 14.2.4 (with Apple script) to make it work (Sending email from iPhoto to outlook) with iPhoto 9.4 in Mountain Lion .
The script made by Apple in iPhoto 9.4 is :

-- Copyright (c) 2003 Apple Computer. All rights reserved.
on mail_images(email_subject, default_address, image_count, new_files, new_captions, new_comments, cancel_string)
try
tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
activate
set theAccount to default account
tell drafts of theAccount
set new_message to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:email_subject, content:"", account:theAccount}
end tell
set sig to content of new_message
tell new_message
if image_count is 0 then
set the content to new_captions
else
set the content to return & return
end if
repeat with image_idx from 1 to image_count
set this_caption to item image_idx of new_captions
set this_comment to item image_idx of new_comments
set comments to ""
if this_caption is not " " then
set comments to this_caption & return
end if
if this_comment is not " " then
set comments to comments & this_comment & return
end if
if comments is not "" then
set the content to content & comments & return
end if
set this_imagefile to item image_idx of new_files
-- convert the image path from UNIX to Mac
set this_imagefile_path to (POSIX file this_imagefile) as string
make new attachment at new_message with properties {filethis_imagefile_path)}
end repeat
set the content to content & sig
end tell
open new_message
end tell
on error error_message number error_number
log error_message & " " & error_number
if the error_number is not -128 then
tell application "Finder"
beep
display dialog error_message buttons {cancel_string} default button 1
end tell
end if
end try
end mail_images
property ASDScriptUniqueIdentifier : "Microsoft Outlook.applescript"
This do not work with Outlook 2011.
Outlook client is correctly select in the iPhoto preferences.
When i want to send a picture, Outlook opens but no window opens with the new message with the picture ...
Any idea ?

Where can i find the sent emails from iphoto?
Sending emails from iphoto works.
But where can i find the history of my sent emails from iphoto. I can´t find it in mail.
Thanks for help!iPhoto and Mail are two entirely separate apps, so Mail keeps no record of what iPhoto does and vice versa.
iPhoto's mail feature is aimed at folks who use web mail generally, and who wanted templates. It's a handy way to send photos to Grandma, it's not an email client. It doesn't have a history or sent mail box.
Workarounds:
You can set iPhoto to bcc yourself automatically
or
Use Mail. It has templates too, and more of them. -
Why can't email from iPhoto? Keeps giving me an error message not conected to server.

When emailing photos using iPhoto, you are not logging into the mail server to send your mail, you are logging into the iCloud server to send your mail (that's why you won't see a copy in the sent mailbox of your client). You need to use your iCloud password, when selecting to email photos using iPhoto. If you select email photos using Mail, then use the same email password you use with your mail client.
that is not corect - you are logging into the email server tha tyou specify in the preferences - it might be iCLoud - it might be a different service
The solution to the OP's issue is to have the correct information entered for their account -- or to switch to using Mail as the email client
