I cannot send emails; looks like my smpt parameters are wrong; what difference is there between my incoming and outgoing servers and should they have different parameters (ID and password)?

Cannot send Email with Mail since updated to 10.7.2, they stay in my Send Box...

Since I updated, I cannot send Email through Mail, it works with Thunderbird though.

Just FYI, I've had the same problem for months now. I have been accessing my hotmail via the web, but decided to try the OS X Mail app. I could get emails into the account with no problem but couldn't send. I read all the blog and support entries and have tried everything they recommended, like changing my computer name to one word, without success. Then last night, it just so happened that my broadband provider had to change out my wireless modem. As soon as he plugged in the new one, some emails that had been in my outbasket for a month went through instantly and all of a sudden my Mail, both incoming and outgoing now work. So I think people need to look at their router settings for the a solution to the problem.

HT1430 Cannot send email from iPhone 4S ..it keeps saying smpt password is incorrect but it is correct and I receive email no problem

Cannot send email from iPhone...keeps saying smpt password is incorrect but it is correct.. I recieve email no problem

On my own, I discovered the following, which worked (one responder got the solution part correct for Google): For Yahoo, where I just use a standard login with no extra verification, I had to go into Yahoo and change my password. Once I did this, the new iPhone had no problem registering accepting my Yahoo account. I WAS, however, using the correct password and user name all along, for those who did not think that was the case. The problem is on the iPhone software side. For Google, I use a two step verification, and for that, one must go to Google Mail and obtain a specific, unique password, that is designed to work only on iPhones. Hope this helps anyone else with this dilemma.

We had a contaminated email and now we cannot send emails . our service provider thinks problem in 'mail' settings but did not want to get into that area. Can you advise how we look into this

we had a contaminated email and now we cannot send emails. Our service provider advises that 'Mail' settings may be compromised. but were not willing to get into resetting. How can this be fixed ?

Not exactly sure what you mean by contaminated, but there is currently no known e-mail that could impact the Apple Mail application as you have described.
Without knowing who your e-mail provider is and what type of account (IMAP or POP3) we can't advise you as to what those settings might be.
One way to fix it would be to delete the account from Apple Mail Preferences->Accounts and add it back.

Cannot Send Email From iMac

I cannot send email from any of my accounts via any of the asssociated servers, however I can receive mail through any of my accounts and servers. I haven't touched any of the preference setttings for any of the accounts so am really in the dark as to where to start to look for problems. I am using OS X 10.8.3.

Cannot send email from iPad & iPhone with Virgin Media

I cannot send emails from my iPad and iPhone. I have a virginmedia.com address and I can receive but just cannot send. A message keeps saying the smpt settings are wrong. However, I have followed the tutorial on Virgin Media web site (this is how I managed to start receiving emails on my devices) but still not sending. I have looked at the settings in my MacBook Pro and all seem to be correct. Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong? I had a similar problem when I loaded Microsoft Office 365 for Mac; I had to end up calling Virgin Media (useless) and then Microsoft (useful). Anyhow I have looked at the settings on the Mac and they all seem to correspond with the ipad and iphone but still cannot send emails. V V Frustrated.
Thanks for reading.

Then make sure that the settings are correct in your email account.
Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

Cannot send email just get a 'relaying' error messgae

Hi
Apologies if this has already been asked:-
i have an iphone 4 and have upgraded to the latest version of ios. But since then I cannot send emails from either my aol or hotmail account. I just get this error message:-
A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The recipient "*****@aol.com" was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying.
Any ideas? Everything was fine before hand. I have tried deleting then reinstating my eamsil accounts both with wifi on and off and still no difference.
Please help its driving me MENTAL!!!!!!

re: not understanding instructions, it sounds like you have not enabled the Menu Bar.
In Thunderbird you will find life much easier when seeing all the toolbars.
Click on the menu icon - it has 3 bars.
Hover the mouse pointer over 'Options'
a new drop down appears, select 'Menu Bar'.
then you will see the Menu Bar above the tabs
It shows: 'File, Edit, View, Go, Message, Tools, Help.'
re: The mail server responded: 5.7.1 Missing or literal domains not allowed. Please verify that your email address is correct in your Mail preferences and try again.
Tools > Account Settings > Outgoing Server
you will only have the one verizon smtp
I looked at the information you provided in the other question.
Server name, port, authentication and connection security look ok.
What do you have in the 'User Name' ?
Do you have the full email address or just the first part before the @ ?
The other thing to check is the firewall settings in the Actiontec Router.
But this is not really a forum for dealing with your router.
you should find the model number somewhere on your Actiontec router.
There are different models, but sometimes the settings can be very similar.
you should be able to do a google search for your model.
I located this pdf for the GT701D model: see chapter 5.

Cannot send email with any of my accounts on Mail 5.2

I have a Mac Book Pro
Mac Os X 10.7.4
Mail 5.2
I have many diferent email accounts (gmail, hotmail, prodigy.net.mx, etc)
Some are POP, some are IMAP
I have another computer, an iMac with older system and older Mail app. and used same setup for all accounts
I can receive emails, but I cannot send emails on any of the accounts. I have quadruple checked all settings and all seems to be ok.
All smtp connections appear as not connected, yet different servers, or email suppliers, this makes me suspect something else is wrong.
Any ideas? Help would be appreciated.

Did you try to reset your ipod by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?

Cannot send email using Gmail after iOS 5

Since updating to iOS 5, I cannot send email from my Gmail account on my iPhone. I receive email fine, but when trying to send I get the error:
Cannot Send Mail
Check the settings for the outgoing servers in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars
I have erased my Gmail account and re-set it up numerous times, and restarted my phone in between doing so. The wizard works perfectly fine, my password is accepted, and like I mentioned email comes in perfectly. I do not have this problem sending mail from iCloud on the same phone.
One thing I did do is attempt setting Gmail up as an Exchange account so that I could use push, but it killed my battery so I erased it. This might have been when the problem began but I'm not positive.

I'm not sure what exactly I did that finally fixed it, but I erased my iCloud and Gmail accounts, restarted the phone, and added Gmail first. But I removed Gmail so many times who knows what actually did it.

Cannot send email user name or password is incorrect

I have an iPhone 3Gs with 6.1.6 iOS software and gmail. Until last week I could receive and send emails on my phone. Last week I tried to email a photo from my iPhone and received the following message "Cannot send email the user name or password is incorrect". About 30 minutes later I received an email message from google accounts with a sign-in attempt blocked message. Since then I have not been able to send an email from my phone. Every time I try to send an email I get the "User name or Password for Gmail is incorrect" - message. I changed passwords but that didn't help. I can receive emails on my phone but I can't send them. The only way I can send email is by clicking on the less secure apps button on the google accounts settings page.. Why do I get this message now and how can I get gmail working on my phone like it used to? If I delete my gmail account does it just remove it from the phone where the same account can be reinstalled or is it completely gone for good?

Cannot send email on Wifi iPad

Four months of trying, and I still cannot send email, either from home or work.
Set up new account via iPad; I never sync mail accounts, I only use iPad Mail for outgoing.
I had four outgoing emails in my Outbox. Today I deleted all SMPTE servers, and changed the Primary SMPTE to my work outgoing email server. Then, one of the four emails was actually sent -- but it won't send the others reporting it cannot connect to the SMPTE server.
I am using the same outgoing SMPTE server as my iPhone and iMac and both can send via wifi with no problem. It is just the iPad that can't send.
If it sent one successfully, why can't it send the other three?

My guess is that your ISP blocks the outgoing servers. You might have to set up a port on your SMPT server, or use the ISP's outgoing server. We'd need more info to help you out.

I cannot send emails; looks like my smpt parameters are wrong; what difference is there between my incoming and outgoing servers and should they have different parameters (ID and password)?
