I only want to send emails from mail (not receive)

I am apprehensive in setting up my Mail because I don't want it to import any emails from my online email account. I don't want all that stuff on my hard drive and I like to access it online from whatever computer.
Is there a way to set up your email account so that you can only email out, but not receive/download the emails on to your computer?

Set up your account, have it Enabled, but do not select to have it included when automatically checking for new messages, and also click on Mailbox in the menubar and take the account Offline. In Mail, and Offline account can be used to send, but will not collect new messages. There are a few providers that require you to have at least logged into the serve one time, and authenticated.

I can't send emails from Mail. I have three different accounts set up and have the same problem with all. The mail just sits in my outbox. All worked fine until Yosemite upgrade. Recent update has not fixed problem.

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.

Gmail will not send emails from mail

On my Gmail account I am unable to send emails from mail on my iMac. I have OS X 10.9.1
I have tried several times turning on and off 2 - step verification.
I have also entered the generated password in the SMTP server as well.
Message says: SMTP-server.gmail.... Could not connect
When I edit SMTP server list how do I fill that in.
ie Description, server name TLS Certificate.

Does this mail ID supports either POP or IMAP protcol? Report this issue to your carrier they will raise a ticket to RIM for resolving the issue.

Java program to send email from lotus notes

Hello,
Please anyone suggest me how to send email from lotus notes using java.
Thanks.

I don't understand the question. Are you asking:
1. How do I send e-mail from Lotus notes manually? Press the Send button.
2. How do I send e-mail from Java? Look into the Java Mail API. Doesn't require Lotus Notes (or any other e-mail client, for that matter).
3. How do I send e-mail to a Lotus Notes address? Just send e-mail to the address (see # 2 above). Nothing special required just because the recipient uses Lotus Notes. FYI: I use Lotus Notes (though I hate it) because it's our company's standard & have written Java apps that send e-mails to Notes. The only time I've had to be aware the recipient was a Notes client was when I was sending HTML formatted messages; then I had to pay attention to the limitations of Notes' brain dead HTML parser.

When I forward or reply to the email from Mail, the receiver gets it as multiple attachments with no content in the mail., When I forward or reply to the email from Mail, the receiver gets it as multiple attachments with no content in the mail.

When I forward or reply to the email from Mail, the receiver gets it as multiple attachments with no content in the mail., When I forward or reply to the email from Mail, the receiver gets it as multiple attachments with no content in the mail.

That's probably because the message is in HTML format. Send the reply as plain text.

Problems with default ports when sending email from Mail

Anyone know how to get around this, when trying to send an email from Mail on my Mac? : "Connections to the server ' ' on the default ports timed out. Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent."
It appears when connected to my new wifi at home. Incoming mails appears.
Thanks!

The default email account selection is when you are outside of the Mail client only.
If you are in your MobileMe account's Inbox or Sent mailbox when selecting new message, your MobileMe account is the default account used, and the same for your work account.

Cannot send email from mail after moving to iCloud

I have just moved to iCloud and now I cannot send email but can still receive email

Hi Judy,
Problem solved.
Go into Mail/Acounts and delete you iCloud account.
Now add a new account and type in your details for MobileMe/iCloud.
It should now work. O noticed the default server name is different.
Hope this helps.
Yours,
Charlie

Can no longer send emails from Mail on iMac but CAN on MBP

Initially, when Mobile Me ended, my email was changed to work with iCloud and it worked fine for about seven months or so. Then, it started giving me an error message (on my iMac, my Macbook Pro, and my iPhone) that said it rejected my password. After a long phone call with Apple, they said that the iCloud server was having problems with certain accounts. They seemed to have fixed it and the mail started working again.
Then it stopped sending email BUT ONLY on my iMac (message says that stmp rejects my password). I have the exact same settings (and password) on my Macbook Pro and the iCloud/Mac/Me mail is received and sent without trouble. I have Snow Leopard on both computers and the same version of Mail on both computers. My Thunderbird email client receives and sends my iCloud/Mac/Me email on my iMac without a problem. Apple Mail receives and sends my other email addresses (gmail, hover) without a problem. Gmail is set to POP and Hover is set to IMAP.
What I have tried:
1) I have deleted the iCloud mail account and re-created it using instructions from Apple Support online as well as Mac users on the forums. (I am not an IT expert, but I can follow instructions.)
2) I have removed all saved iCloud/Mobile Me passwords from my keychain (both incoming and outgoing) in case there was an old one stored there.
3) I have created a new IMAP account. I have created a new Mobile Me IMAP account. I am not given the option in Snow Leopard of creating a new iCloud account -- but as I said the iCloud account (called Mobile Me IMAP) is WORKING on my Macbook Pro.
If I were having the problem with the Macbook Pro rather than the iMac, I'd just go to the Genius Bar and let them handle it. But, if I can do it without packing up and carrying my desktop, that would be preferable.
Any suggestions?

Hi Lanny,
Thank you for this. I followed it "to the letter". In fact, I tried it twice to make sure I didn't miss any steps. Both times, everything went as described until STMP. When I got to the STMP page and hit "create", it once again told me that the STMP server name and/or password were "incorrect". My iCloud mail arrives fine, but nothing can go out because the outgoing mail does not recognize my password (or at least that seems to be what is happening.) I tried to give up and set Thunderbird up as my default mail client, but iPhoto doesn't recognize it and when I want to email a photo, it opens Apple Mail. I just do not understand why it works on my MBP and not on my iMac. Nothing was changed on either computer. It simply stopped sending outgoing mail on the iMac and continues to send out on the MBP.
It's a mystery.

Cannot send emails from mail account.

Hello everyone,
I've had this problem a while, that basically when i send an email from my account it says
Cannot send message using the server xxxxxxxx
when i try other servers it still doesn't work and i get the same error message. I have other computers on which mail works from the same server, same port same password etc. so why doesn't this work.
If you can help me i will be eternally greatful as i won't have to keep jumping on someone elses computer to reply to mail.
Thank you in advance
Fred

Hello Fred.
If you’re sure your settings are exactly the same as on the computers where it works, here a couple of things that you may want to look at.
Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.
Also, try using a different method to connect to Internet, if possible, or connecting the computer to Internet as directly as possible, i.e. bypassing any routers that might be present, using an ethernet cable instead of wireless, etc., and see whether that makes a difference.
Mail keeps information about outgoing servers in a separate list, independently of any specific mail account. The account settings just associate one of the available outgoing servers with each account. Orphaned or dangling outgoing server entries (i.e. not associated with any account) sometimes cause weird sending problems.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP), choose Edit Server List from the popup menu, and delete any servers that shouldn’t be there. The Edit Server List panel shows the account each outgoing server is associated with.

Can't send emails from Mail with microsoft word attachments

Ok, this is a weird one. About a month ago I realized that people weren't receiving my emails sent from Mail when I attached Microsoft Word documents to them. I can attach anything else, but the second I throw in a .doc, the email simply won't be received. It will send perfectly fine, without any errors or signs of problems. Ever heard of that before? Any ideas?
12" Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I've been sending ".doc" files from both Mail and Entourage for some time without a problem.
Having said that, is there a chance that your Internet Service Provider is somehow blocking some file types?
I've recently come across a cpouple of European internet providers who do block executables and key file types that are known to cause problems or that might contain viruses/trojans.

I only want to send emails from mail (not receive)
