Is mac mail's server down today  I can't send any emails

I can receive emails but can't send any today.  Does anyone know if the server is down? 

Are you using the Mail application that came with your Mac (or maybe MobileMe or some other web based email service)? If it is just Mail, who is your ISP - it would be their servers you're dealing with.

    More information is required for a meaningful reply. Do you have an email account? Are you settings correct? Can you receive emails on the iPad? Have you another device on which you send /receive emails? Is it working OK?

  • Can't send any emails from various accounts set up in mail 4.4

    I have a number of different email accounts (3 POP, 1 IMAP) set up in mail 4.4. Lately i have had some problems sending emails from some of the accounts. Usually, I get the outgoing mail server reject message, and then I try another server, and then it sends. THe next time I go to send an email through the outgoing server that I was rejected by, it sends without problems. Each time I shutdown, restart, or open the lid on the macbook, I go through the same process. UNTIL today. Now, I can't send ANYTHING outbound, via any of the 4 outgoing mail servers that I have set up. I have run with this same configuration without change for almost 3 years. Only change is that I have recently changed ISPs. Please help. Work from home, so critical problem.

    I had had the same problem after changing my ISP. It is definitely a Mail 4.4 problem. I partially fixed it by trashing all four of my e-mail accounts in mail preferences (simply click on the minus sign to delete them) and rebuilding them all with the correct settings and passwords. This worked fine with ATT, MSN and QWest but the Mail app simply refuses to connect to AOL's outgoing mail server (smtp.aol.com). In other words, I can receive AOL mail but I cannot send AOL mail using the Mac Mail app. Have to log on to AOL's web site and do it that way, which is a huge pain in the you know where. Mail 4.4 is definitely hinky -- keeps erasing passwords and asking for them again and again. As a result, my keychain contains numerous repetitions of the same password for each mail account. I don't know why Apple doesn't fix this problem, which recurs with depressing regularity according to many Mac Mail users on this forum.

  • Hey guys! I went to Mexico over spring break and messed up my email settings. Now I can't send any emails what so ever, but I can get them. It says that an outgoing mail server smpt.live has failed. So...I need help! I haven't sent an email since march!

    #emailhelp

    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.

  • My imac mail keeps going off line and can't send out emails even when it when it comes back on line for a short while

    Need help in getting rid of this annoying pop up problem. All my Inbox keeps going off line. Comes back very intermitently.

    That can't be it if it is working intermitently.
    Actually, more often than not, this is caused by duplicate entries in either Mail's Outgoing SMTP servers, or in Keychain.
    Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it/them, or delete it/them and start over.
    Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
    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.

  • Outgoing server times out - can't send any emails and don't know what to do

    I receive emails just fine in my MobileMe account but when I try to send them they get stuck in outbox ****. It is an IMAP account and I have tried the connection doctor - which shows the server times out - as does the message box that pops up. I have a Genius Bar appointment for tomorrow but this is driving me crazy. Any insight would be much appreciated!

    I had this occur several times before, some time ago & wish I wrote down the fix. I too am experiencing the same issue for the last 2 days; so my guess is it must not be my computer since nothing has been changed except I did a "sync" & that is the only thing different in the last few days.

  • Can't send any emails from mail app on OSx10.6.5

    I've noticed a lot of people are having trouble with the mail app since installing snow leopard and I've tried several fixes. I've downloaded the 10.6.5 combo and reset the preferences, but still no luck. Anyone have any ideas?

    No, there have been no problems here. Run Connection Doctor, and tell us what it reports, particularly about the SMTP?

  • TS3899 iPhone 5s Mail app shut down automatically when try to send email

    I just set up new iPhone 5s two days ago from iPhone 5.
    Everything works fine except Mail app.
    Due to Mail app, I had to set up new configuation instead of back up from old iPhone 5.
    Mail app works fine 1 day, but after the day after, the mail app shut down automatically when try to send email.
    Just one specific email account has problem. It worked fine on iPhone 5. Same setting on Pop and SMTP. Exactly same~~
    - I did try to reset iPhone 5s pressing home button and sleep button for 10 second. It did not work
    - I did try to reset all information and install iPhone 5s and the problem still exists.
    - I did try to delete specific email account and re-make it, but it did not work
    Funny thing is that if Lanuague is English, then sending email is working. Absolutely no problem.
    However, if Language setting is Korean, then Mail App shut down automatically.
    I'm heavy email maker and if it is very annoying.
    Does anyone have same issue like this?
    I believed it is iOS7 bug?
    Can anyone help me on this???

    Am having similar problems with a new iPad Air. It will recieve email in Mail as directd from my domain email account. It will not send, advising server does not recognise account. I have checked and re checked settings.
    My computer and old iPad work perfectly. Any ideas would be really appreciated.
    By the way sending email directly from the domain email account works perfectly but I prefer using Mail.

  • Mac Mail has a gray gear that constantly spins behind the email address

    Mac Mail has a gray gear that constantly spins behind the email address , does this mean it has trouble connecting?
    I have 3 emails i receive in Mail and only one that constantly has the spinning gray gear is with google apps.
    Im using the free version, and it has worked great for a year.
    I tried to send a video and it ended up in my recovery box as 50 copies.
    I deleted the recovery mailbox and the account im having problems with.
    After deleting, i manually aded it again.
    I can receive mail.
    I have also followed advice given in a forum that said to go to: https://www.google.com/a/priestlaketech.com/UnlockCaptcha
    My ISP has a monthly allowed bandwidth cap and im close to exceeding it, i suspect that its because mail is trying to pick up mail all the time.
    Thank you for any tips you might have,

    Hello Roger
    Thank you for your reply but I don't think it answers my problem. You see it is not my Apple ID Account that has been hacked. I use the Internet provider company known as Westnet in Australia and my email addresses all end in Westnet.com.au
    The fake email address that was created is as below:
    [email protected]
    What I want to know is the IP address and location where this email address was created so that I can narrow down the list of suspects

  • In Mac Mail on OS 10.5.8 I am receiving bogus emails which claim to be sent by people in my address book, but actually are not.  How does this happen and how can I correct this problem

    n Mac Mail on OS 10.5.8 I am receiving bogus emails which claim to be sent by people in my address book, but actually are not.  How does this happen and how can I correct this problem

    You said:
    I am receiving bogus emails which claim to be sent by people in my address book, but actually are not.
    ...and:
    Are you saying that my address book has not been hacked into?  That others are getting these email addresses from another source?
    This confuses me.  Are you saying that you are receiving bogus e-mails from some of your contacts, or are you saying that they are receiving bogus e-mails from you?
    If the latter, there are a number of reasons that people might be getting e-mail from you.  Malware, though technically possible, is extremely unlikely.  See Someone is sending messages from my e-mail address!
    If the former, that's rather unusual.  The only decent explanation I can think of is that a bunch of your Windows-using contacts got infected with something and their machines are being used to spam everyone in their contact lists, which would include you.

  • I updated to iOS5 weeks ago; but suddenly I can't open the mail, contacts, calendar settings and I am not getting any email to my iPad2 AND it keeps trying to connect and it is runnijng the battery down...any help?

    I already tried rebooting, and I tried hooking it up to itunes as well, no luck there either.

    Try to reset all settings.
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.  It won't delete your data.
    When you say reboot, do you mean you pressed the home and sleep button at the same time until it restarted? 

  • TS3276 I cannot get my outgoing SMTP server togo "On-Line" and cannot send out emails.

    I cannot get my outgoing SMTP server togo "On-Line" and cannot send out emails.

    I had this problem too but I fixed it today.
    Go to the mail menu preferences.
    Click on account in question.
    Select the outgoing SMTP mail server (the one offline), this has a drop down list, click on the edit server list.
    Click on the advanced button.
    Make sure use default port is checked.
    Make sure SSL is unchecked (unless your provider requires it, mine does not work with it checked).
    Have authentication set to password.
    User name should be your email address for that account.
    Make sure correct password is entered (for some strange reason my password box was blank on this account).
    Push the ok button.
    For me the SSL box was checked and the password was missing. This is strange to me considering I have unchecked the SSL Box on the mail preference advance page. Also, I went through the complete set up account when I first created the account, why was my outgoing server password box empty?
    I hope this helps.
    Here is a link to some visual aids with the steps from my ISP

    Yesterday I changed my email password on my home computer.  Today, I can't get any new emails on my Samsung Galaxy 4; I deleted the email account entirely and tried to set it up again as a new account, using the new password, but it keeps giving me an error message that reads: Cannot safely connect to server.  The new password is working on my home computer.  I even tried the old password; it just gave me the same error message.

    I'm sorry you're having issues with your e-mail account on your phone Rusty1112. Let's figure out what's going on. First, please try deleting account/information again and then restart phone. When phone is back on, try adding e-mail account again, and be sure you're entering exactly as you set up, meaning its case-sensitive. If you're still getting same error, please let us know and let us know what e-mail account it is, Yahoo, AOL, MSN, etc.

    Greetings,
    Questions:
    1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
    2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
    3. Do you use MobileMe/ iCloud or another server based sync solution like Google or Yahoo?
    4. Do other changes to synced information like Address Book content sync successfully back and forth?
    Based on your description it sounds like you have a 1 way sync issue.  Events sync fine between the iOS devices and fine from the computer to the iOS devices but not from the iOS devices to the computer.
    Try:
    Backup your computer and iOS devices before doing anything else:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Ensure all the devices in use are fully up to date: Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update
    Make separate backups of critical data:
    Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
    Backup your computer iCal: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966
    Reset syncing on your Mac: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    Reply back if that does not resolve your issue.
    Hope that helps.
