IPhone 2.0 Outgoing Mail Server changes

It appears that the outgoing mail server settings in 2.0 are trying to alleviate the problems of switching between your ISP and AT&T (i.e. WIFI to Edge/3G) so that our non compatible email accounts will work in both environments for outgoing mail. Has anyone seen a thread or Apple article that addresses this area of the new software as I would like to understand it better? Seems that my attempts to set up multiple outgoing servers has caused my mail program to get stuck in sending emails. Thanks!

The only way I was able to get my iPhone to check for mail automatically and actually download it was to delete the accounts and re-enter them. After they were re-entered, Mail worked automatically on my ISP mail account as it did before I updated, Push works on my .MAc account, and all my old messages appeared as well (i.e., deleting the accounts did not remove the messages I had stored).

  • TS3899 outgoing mail server changes spontaneously

    My outgoing mail server settings for my domain email (Imap compliant) have spontaneously changed a couple of times now, and it seems to be related to when I update my iPhone software.  Has anyone else experienced this?
    Thanks!

    Who is your e-mail provider?
    It depends on your e-mail provider, check their website for outgoing port.
    Try 587.

  • Why doesn't the smtp (outgoing mail server) change on switch locations

    It would seem to me that when you choose Apple, locations and then select a new location, the Mail program should know that it should use the new smtp server.
    I have dsl from at&t or the old southwestern bell. They have blocked sending to any other smtp server on port 25 while I am at my home.
    I know how to switch them and recieve the prompt when it fails to select a different server. I know how to do this. However, other people who I have converted to the Apple platform, are displeased that it doesn't know to switch. This person is not technical and doesn't want to be technical.
    In their terms, they just want it to work.
    For right now, I told her to go into preferences, accounts within mail and to switch back and forth. I told her I would find a better solution.
    discussions.apple.com shows a lot of people complaining about outgoing mail but not a lot of solutions on switching back and forth.
    Anybody have any suggestions? I still think that when you switch the location, it should change your outbound smtp server.

  • Outgoing Mail Server(SMTP)

    Does anyone know what the host name for the outgoing mail server is suppose to be, right now I have it listed as smtp1.attglobal.net, but it's saying cannot send out mail the connection to the outgoing server smtp1.attglobal.net failed. Can anyone give me the correct outgoing server.

    Try this first:

    The Outgoing mail server depends on who your email provider is. You can usually get information on the provider's web site for settings, or check the settings on your computer; they will generally be the same. HOWEVER, if your ISP is your email provider they may not allow use of their outgoing mail server unless you are connected to their network. In this case you would be able to send mail connected to your home wireless network, but no from other wireless networks or using EDGE on the phone.
    If this is your situation you have several options:
    1. For EDGE use only, use cwmx.com as the outgoing mail server, no user id or password. This will not work when connected via a WiFi network.
    2. Create a gmail account and use their server; this requires user id and password.
    3. Us a paid SMTP site (e.g., godaddy.com)

  • How to change the primary outgoing mail server in iphone

    I am trying to change the primary outgoing mail server from Yahoo to another mail which is my internet provider. I do not know the steps to complete this in my iphone thanks

    If you have more than one email account on your phone, you can change the default account under Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>Default Account. Note that this setting does not appear unless you have more than one account on your phone. So, you'll need to add the email account from your ISP under Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Add New Account if you have not already done so.

  • Me outgoing mail server not working from iPhone / Reply to email address

    Hi, I have MM sent up on my iPhone and Mac, the SMTP outgoing mail server does not work from the iPhone but does from the Mac, to get around this I changed the outgoing server on the iPhone to my optusnet outgoing server, that has been working fine, the problem I have is if someone reply's to a email from the phone it gets bounced back becuase the reply to email address for me is @mac.com not from @me.com
    I have tried to change the reply to email address in the phone but it only allows you to change the name not the @mac.com
    I have only ever had a Me account not a .Mac account so I dont know why its locked to @mac

    I deleted the MM account on the phone and reinstalled it again. Now it is working.

  • How do I change my password on the outgoing mail server?

    Getting a "Cannot Send Mail.  The user name or password for "SMTP:[email protected]@smtp.aol.com" is incorrect" and I can not send any mail messages.  The Outgoing mail server data is greyed out so I can not make changes.  What do I do?

    If you cannot access the SMTP server that way, then you need to remove the account from the phone and add it back again from scratch.

    You say you have the pse 5 disk?
    I guess you do't have a dvd drive on your new windows 8 computer?
    Do you have access to another computer with a dvd drive?
    Anyway if you can find another computer with a dvd drive you could copy the pse 5 install disc to removable device like a camera card or flash drive.
    You can also buy cheap usb dvd drives.

  • Do I need to change my outgoing mail server when in another country?

    Do I need to change my outgoing mail server when I am in Bangkok rather than Canada?

    You may need to change the configuration of Mail to have the SMTP (outgoing) mail server provide authentication. Many email ISPs will not allow remote use of their servers without authentication. Check with your provider to find out what type of authentication they use. Start with Mail Preferences > Accounts > Account Information.
    Select "Edit SMTP Server List" from the dropdown menu.
    Select your server then:
    And configure the Advanced setion.

    If so, this is not needed. Use the MobileMe account preset and the incoming and outgoing mail servers will be set up automatically.

  • Changing Location and Outgoing mail server

    When I change Location, I need to change the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) (my ISP blocks mail traffic). Is there a way to make the smtp server different for each Location you have defined? Right now, I have to manually switch the Mail.app preferences each time I connect to a new Location, or wait for Mail.app to try to send the mail at which point it puts up a failure dialog where I can change the outgoing server for that message.
    thanks.

    It would be nice to define an SMTP server for each account depending on the ISP being used for connecting to the internet and even better, the computer determining the ISP being used for connecting to the internet and automatically making the appropriate SMTP server change for each account but computers aren't quite there or that smart yet.
    There is a collection of AppleScripts called Mail Scripts you can download at this link.
    http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
    The script to use from the collection of scripts is Change SMTP Server (Mail) which provides for switching between different already defined SMTP servers or define a new one. This is especially useful if you are using your computer in more than one location and have to switch servers for several accounts at once.
    At least this script makes it a little easier.

  • Trying to add my thunderbird work email account to my new iphone, how do I find my "incoming mail server" and "outgoing mail server" host names?

    Got a new Iphone 6 and I need to add my work thunderbird email account onto the phone. It is asking me for the host name of my incoming and outgoing mail server and I have no idea what this means- please help!

    First off there is no such thing as a Thunderbird email account. Email providers issue email accounts and Thunderbird is email client software and not a provider.
    You can look at the server settings in Thunderbird to see the settings it is using or you could get a list from your provider.
    In Thunderbird go to the menu bar and select Tools-Account Settings-Server Settings to see the Inbound settings and Tools-Server Settings-Outbging Server(SMTP) for Outbound settings.
    No menu bar with Tools showing? Press the alt key.

When i click the outgoing mail server it is different than what is listed in account settings under preferences.

    the server "mail.nw.centurytel.net" did not recognize the folling recipients:"
    then it list the people that did nto get the message.
    "the server response was: 5.1.1 '<johndoe_isp.net>... User unknown

    Then at the bottom of the box there are choices

  • I need to change my password for outgoing mail server but it won't let me

    I Need to change my password for outgoing mail server on iPad 2 but it won't let me change it. I can't send out mail

    I assume that you mean that the setting is grayed out and that is what "it won't let me" means. Have you tried selecting another SMTP server of you have another one available in the settings?
