I'm unable to send out mail on my macbook.  I can send on iPhone but not on my macbook pro

I get a message that says: "cannot send message using the server AOL".  This happens not only with my AOL server but also with my iCloud and gmail servers as well.  I have checked to make sure the password is correct.

  • Only the upgrades on iPhone cause probs. not iPad. Can't get mail. Have to delete and add again. iPhone but not iPad??

    I Have this problem from time to time but every upgrade is ridiculous. I have to reset it all to get my mail, my contacts back.....  But with mail, I have to delete the account and re-do the whole thing. I shouldn't have to do this. It makes no sense when I don't have to on my iPad.  Any ideas?

    Stop restoring from backup and instead restore as new.

  • My Mail application is rejecting my password even though I'm putting it in correctly. Mail is working fine on my iPad and iPhone but not my iMac so it must be something to do with the Mail settings on my desktop. My software is up to date.  Can you help?

    I have an iMac, operating system 10.7.4 with up to date software. My mail application is rejecting my password even though I know I am putting it in correctly. I have an ipad and iphone and the mail application is working fine on them. On my desktop however I cannot receive or send mail. I think it must be something to do with the settings but cannot work out what. I have contacted BT who provides my email and internet. As I have another email address with them that is working correctly they believe it is a problem with mail rather than with them. Please can you help?

    OK Vicky, good clues...
    See if this helps...
    Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over. See if there are duplicates, should be one for Incoming & one for Outgoing.

    If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

  • Icloud SMTP server is offline, can't send out mail

    I am having a problem, can't send out mail with my iCloud account. Password is ok, but it says "offline"  On Mavericks OS

    You might want to try signing out of your iCloud account, then back in.  Go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac, then sign back in.
    This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your Mac, but not from iCloud.  It will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in, after a brief delay as it redownloads.

  • Why can i send imessages to every other person with an iPhone but not one person

    I can send an imesage message to every other person with an iphone, but not my uncle, who has an iphone 4s. We are both connected to wifi while texting and yet the message still shows up as green. PLEASE HELP

    Get him to check he's got iMessage enabled.
    Settings->Messages->iMessage needs to be 'ON'.
    Also in the same screen check what addresses he has under "Send & Receive" to ensure you're using one of those (or his phone number).

  • "This message cannot be sent at this time."  I have been getting this pop-up for 3 days when trying to send out mail.  I don't know what to do!  I cannot send mail from this account on any ISP. Please help!

    lots of people seem to be havgin a problem sending email from iCloud webmail.
    does your email address have uppercase characters in it?
    if so, try creating an alias in lowercase (go to preferences in iCloud webmail and select 'accounts') and see if email sends okay from that

  • Using Gmail in iPhoto and cannot find any of my groups to email.  I have at least seven or eight groups that I email, each containing over 50 addresses. Is there a way to locate my email groups using iPhoto to send out mail in Gmail? Using version 9.5.1

    Using Gmail in iPhoto and cannot find any of my groups to email.  I have at least seven or eight groups that I email, each containing over 50 addresses. Is there a way to locate my email groups using iPhoto to send out mail in Gmail? Using version 9.5.1  (902.17) OS is Mavericks 10.9.1.

    Your question and description is not very clear to me, so hopefully something here will help:
    1. Gmail is a service not an app or a place. So you need to access the service with an app - that can be iPhoto, Mail, Outlook or any other mail client, or even a Web Browser like Safari or Firefox.
    So you can't "go to GMail" as you write, but instead you go to an application set up to use the GMail service.
    2. iPhoto is not a mail client. It's a handy way to email pics to Grandma, but for what you're doing you need to use an app that supports all of the Gmail service. iPhoto doesn't. There is no way around that.
    3. How to send to groups will vary depending on what app you use to access the GMail service. All of these apps can receive photos from iPhoto, either - as in the case of Mail and Outlook, via the Share function - or, in the case of all the rest - via a Media Browser.
    For help sending to Groups using any of these other apps you need to ask omn their respective forums. But the workflow is quite simple:
    Using Mail or Outlook set in the iPhoto Prefereneces:
    1. Select the pic(s) you want to share.
    2. Choose email from the Share function
    3. Make your selections re size etc
    4. The email opens up in Mail or Outlook
    - from there you need to figure out how to use the email client.
    Using any other app:
    1. In the mail app create a new email
    2. Click on the Attach button or link
    3. Use the Media browser to select the pic(s) you want to send
    4. Attach them
    - from there you need to figure out how to use the email client.
    For help accessing your photos in iPhoto see this user tip:

  • HT1277 all of a sudden I am not able to send out mail. I have checked and rechecked my account information including incoming and outgoing server info.

    all of a sudden I am not able to send out mail. I have checked and rechecked my account information including incoming and outgoing server info. Does anyone know what the problem might be? Thanks

    If you're having trouble sending mail, then either the SMTP (outbound) mail server settings — the server, the port, the user, the password, and whether SSL is in use or (unlikely) not — are incorrect, or the mail server is offline or has been reconfigured. 
    The SMTP (outbound) settings are in Preferences, but are buried rather deeply.  Select Preferences > Accounts > select the account > switch the outgoing mail server (SMTP) to Edit SMTP Server List... and then select the SMTP server from the list, and verify that the settings are correct with your ISP, and that your username and password are correct.
    The required settings vary by your particular mail ISP; you'll have to check with the ISP for the server and login details.
    To test settings, select Window > Connection Doctor > then (when the tests fail) show the details, and (if you can't sort out what happened) sanitize the settings and post the output here.
    Caveat: do not repeat password tests with the mail server, as various mail providers can be configured to assume these are a password brute-force attack, and lock out repeated login attempts.
    Caveat: never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever not-at-all enter a password when Mail pops up a dialog box with the "OMG YOUR PASSWORD IS WRONG!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE ENSURE YOU CANNOT LOG IN AGAIN!!!!!" dialog box.  (I'm paraphrasing that error dialog box slightly.)  The correct answer to that Mail.app password dialog box is almost always "cancel" button.  Passwords stored in Keychain generally don't get lost or corrupted, and trying random passwords as that dialog box encourages just gets you locked out of various servers, and...

    You have omitted all useful information from your post,
    Things like, what mail system, there are many, which Mac, many of them as well
    Time to describe what you have and what error messages you receive, can't do anything with your question otherwise.

  • "connection denied due to dictionary attack" when I try to send out mail

    Hi--
    I got this message "connection denied due to dictionary attack" when I tried to send out mail today. It was the first time I ever saw anything like this. I thought it was a problem with the mail server from my website, but no one else had the problem. After about 12 hours, it suddenly stopped...
    Was I being hacked? Was someone trying to send out email/spam through A)my home machine or B) my website? And if so, how can I protect myself from it?

    Well you second post was the correct question because I was going to say you got a second hand macbook pro, didn't change anything, and expected mail to work with your ISP.  The mail settings were thus those of the previous owner.  So you are correct to ask what your ISP's settings should be.
    Unfortunately I can't answer that.  You have to get that from your ISP.  They proably have a web page for it.
    You need to know:
    Incoming mail server (pop)
    Incoming mail server login name
    Incoming mail server password
    POP port
    Does is require SSL?
    Authentication for using POP server (probably password)
    Outgoing mail server (SMTP)
    Outgoing mail server login name (probably same as incoming)
    Outgoing mail server password (probably same sas incoming)
    SMTP port
    Does is require SSL?

  • On the iPhone, if you move an e-mail from the In box to Junk, will iPhone automatically place future e-mails from the same sender into Junk? In other words, can you teach iPhone to recognize Junk as you do on a Mac?

    On the iPhone, if you move an e-mail from the In box to Junk, will iPhone automatically place future e-mails from the same sender into Junk? In other words, can you teach iPhone to filter out Junk as you do on a Mac?

    I don't think so, you would need to set that on your browser when you log into your email account.
