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.

  • I can't send out mail on my computer it sits in the outbox

    I can't send out mail on my computer it sits in the outbox

    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.

  • I can't send out mail. the prompt is telling me that I am not connected to a server. What do I do?

    How do I connect to a server to enable me to send mail

    Well you can start by adding detail - any detail that might help.
    What mail application are you using? Mail.app? something else? What else?
    Your signature says you use hotmail - is this hotmail you're trying to configure? or something else?
    Is the problem with this specific email account? or all (do you have more than 1?)
    Without these (and likely more) answers there's not enough to go on here.

  • Mail can't send out mail anymore....

    hey everyone,
    I just downloaded the 5 new apps a few days ago, and everything worked great, until now.
    I can receive emails, but i can't send any emails out.
    When i touch send, a message pops up saying,
    "Cannot send mail. The connection to the outgoing server "(null)" failed.
    What does this mean? The messages I've tried to send out, just keep on filling up my outbox. What does this mean? Am i missing something?
    Thanks in advance for your help

    Hey vanlan,
    Make sure you are using the correct email settings. Check the email provider website or use common settings found here: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/mailhelper/
    Try the tips in this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305634
    Most Internet Service Provider email accounts will only allow you to send email on their server when you are connecting to the Internet over their network connection.

  • How can I send out mail to multiple addressees?

    I want to send out a a mass mailing where I can begin my mail by personalisng it to  'Dear John, Jane...... or whoever.  How can I do this with using Mail?

    I Googled - I don't use Apple's Mail - and it seems that you need third-party software: this was one of the top hits - http://www.macmassmailer.com/mac-mail-group-email-list.
    Good luck,

  • Can't send out mail on my POP

    I am having a similar problem, but not with a .MAC account. We recently had to reinstall our operating sys. and now cannot send email with our POP. Everything else works fine and we can send it through the verizon website, just not the mail link. Error message reads the server does not recognize our address. Checked with Verizon and all settings are correct. Any ideas? I even tried the port 587.

    Sometimes an ISP provider blocks one of your incoming
    Mail ports and "won't notify you". ( Why? probably it's their protection software )
    In my case Comcast blocked my Port 25 and my Outgoing kept bouncing.
    Incoming was fine.
    Make sure when you change your Port to 587,
    You also check "ON" the Secure Sockets Layer box right underneath,
    Then change Authentication: to Password
    Then enter your name and password
    and click OK.
    The reps at most of the providers
    are useless and won't tell you
    the second part of the solution.
    It took me 2 days and 4 reps
    at Comcast to find this out
    and 10 hours of trying to
    clean my Mac...
    which they will always
    blame.
    Best of Luck, Tom

  • TS3276 I can't send out mail on Mavericks/Mail 7.1, while I can on OSX 7.5/Mail 5.3

  • Can not send be-mail os10.9.4 server offline !!

    can not send be-mail os10.9.4 server offline !!

    Hey there mikeneiris,
    It sounds like you are not able to send any emails because the account is showing as offline. I recommend these steps from the following article to help you get that going again:
    Mail (Mavericks): If a mailbox is offline
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14925?viewlocale=en_US
    To take an account online, click the lightning bolt icon. Or choose Mailbox > Online Status > Take [account name] Online, or Mailbox > Take All Accounts Online.
    If you can’t take an account online, make sure you’re connected to the Internet. If a warning icon appears after the account name, click it for more information.
    Use Connection Doctor
    Some mailbox names can appear dimmed if you don’t have permission to access them, such as “public” mailboxes on a server, or if the mail server is unavailable.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Mail loosing iCloud SMTP server name

    Recently I have found that when I go to create a new email I cannot send it as the Mail application does not have the SMTP server assigned to my iCloud account.  Then when I try to choose one from my existing list, iCloud is greyed out and showing as offline.
    I have to then go into Mail>Preferences>Accounts then highlight my iCloud account and pick the iCloud SMTP server, then Save this amendment.  I can then create a new email and its configured to work OK.
    Anyone else have this issue or offer a suggestion?
    Running 10.8.3. Thx.

    Anyone else having this issue?  It's still going on for me.  It only happend to me since the update to 10.8.3.

  • Hpeprint and iCloud SMTP server

    Why can I not send mails with the icloud SMTP server to my printer using an hpeprint address? The mails are not printed an I get an error message. From all other email SMTP servers I use, it's working perfectly.
    The message I receive from icloud looks like this:
    This report relates to a message you sent with the following header fields:
    Message-id: <[email protected]>
    Date: Sat, 10 Dec 2011 18:53:49 +0100

    Subject: Fwd: italiano
    Your message cannot be delivered to the following recipients:
    Recipient address: [email protected]
    Reason: SMTP transmission failure has occurred
    Diagnostic code: smtp;550 5.7.1 Command rejected

    Diagnostic-code: smtp;550 5.7.1 Command rejected
    This looks like a common problem with icloud as the promlem is also reported on the support forum of hpeprint. Nobody had a solution til now.
    thanks for any useful help

    I can confirm, that it happens on my iPhone as well - using any email provider it works except when using my iCloud account. Strangely, it used to work in the past and I'm just ran into this challenge recently.

  • ICloud smtp server authentication.

    The IMAP server authentication works fine in Outlook 2010.
    Will not accept the same password for the SMTP server.
    Can anyone help?

    I have the same problem.
    Iam using Outlook 2007 and the icloud control panel. Everything works great also the calender and contact sync runs great, but I can't send any Mails. I heard that there might be a problem with the password. So your password must have at least one capital letter and number. My Passwort has both and also an aditional letter.
    Maybe some has an answer for our problem?
