Is there a generic outgoing smtp setting for mail?

I use four mail accounts, one @Mac.com and three for websites I manage. I use my laptop in a variety of locations, most of which I know the outgoing SMTP settings. But, in some locations, like the one I'm at right now, I don't know and therefore can't reply to my incoming mail from my Mail application.

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
One of the advantages to a .Mac account, is its Authenticated SMTP, which can be used at most (but not all) remote locations. The same is true of a Gmail account and its SMTP. When the SMTP provided by your ISP to your home venue is separately authenticated, rather than by some reliance on the IP address of the modem, or by some reference method to the Incoming server, then that Authenticated SMTP can normally be used.
With the smtp.mac.com you can only send from the .mac address. With the Gmail SMTP you can normally send with any address as the From address. Depending on the ISP, their Authenticated SMPT (if one is provided) there might be some restriction as to From address, but this would likely be the same as when at home.
However, the provider of internet service at any location can always choose to restrict the use of any third party SMTP, to limit their exposure to those who would use their connection to SPAM. Thus, every location can be different, and this is where webmail access may be critical.
More info, please.

How do I set outgoing smtp port for mail program ?

How do I set a port for the outgoing mail server (smtp)? If you go to
SETTINGS \ <email account> \ ADVANCED
you can only associate a port with the INCOMING SETTINGS. I need to associate a port with the Outgoing Server. How do I do this?

Tap on the outgoing smtp server under Settings>Mail,Contacts, Calendars and your email account. You will then see the advanced settings for the outgoing smtp server.

jsavage9621,
It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect. This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone. It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here. I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you. I look forward to speaking with you.

Can I use the VW outgoing SMTP servers for my personal email?

I'm having trouble with my company not allowing my personal ISP to email me at work. It means my wife can't email me from her iPhone. Is it possible to use the Verizon Wireless outgoing SMTP servers for my outgoing email?
Thank you,

Hi bginsberg. I know how important it is to keep in touch with your wife. That sounds like a great idea to get around your work firewalls, but Verizon Wireless doesn't have an outgoing SMTP server anymore. http://bit.ly/QgXOOm But many email providers offer a free email account that you can use as an SMTP service if you need. I would suggest to contact your ISP/Email provider for availability of their SMTP email service.
Thank you

Outgoing smtp problem in Mail

My outgoing smtp server in Mail Account Information is shown as "offline" and I can't send emails. Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem and what the smtp should read or be inserted as? Thanks.

EDIT SMTP SETTINGS
In Accounts window, select to Edit SMTP Server list...
Select account in the list.(It's not uncommon to find extra SMTP servers listed. When you remove account, Mail does not delete the smtp info. You might need to do some clean up in the list to remove the extras.)
Click on Advanced tab. Enter full email address and password
Name. [email protected]
Add password if it is blank.
Apple defaults to the default ports (25,465, 587) but some servers prefer a custom port. Check to see what port they recommend. Gmail for example likes 465, Outlook.com 587. Verify if they require SSL.
Open Connection Doctor under Window in the Menu bar.
Do you see green light now for your account?

Setting up a mail client and the outgoing SMTP set...

If you switch to BT and you already have email accounts set up in a mail client such as Mac Mail, you will not find any help from BT to set up correct outgoing SMTP mail server settings. Most other ISP's are usually very helpful with this but BT have a policy that is designed to make things very difficult to use anything but a BT email account. They claim that it is "To protect our email server from abuse by spammers". However, the solution to this has potentially quite the opposite effect as you will not be able to enable SSL for it to work!!
OK so the first thing to do is create a new 'MY BT' account and then go to 'email' and create a new BT email account. Keep a note of address and password as you will need this later.
Go back to the main BT home page and click on mail. You should land on a page that has the new 'BT Mail Account' in the left column and above a purple tool bar with 'Settings at the end. Click on 'Settings'.
In the left column, underneath 'Mail' click on 'Accounts'
Click 'Add' and fill in the details of your 3rd party (Non BT) account. They encourage IMAP only but I used 'POP" with no problems as I have no intention of using the BT mail client.
In 'Mail settings' fill out the mail server details from your email provider or where your site is actually hosted. For example if you are using 000webhost.com then they will advise 'mx.000webhost.com' or may be 'mail.yourwebsitename'
The correct port to enter is the port listed in your web client. For me with Mac Mail then this is listed in preferences and if you check this then also double check that use SSL is NOT checked
Enter the email user name and password of your 3rd party account
Make sure in 'Security' that 'Requires SSL' is NOT checked
Then save the account
Click on the 'Email' link in the purple tool bar and there now under the 'BT Mail Account' should be your 3rd party account. Click on it and it should now load your email. If it doesn't then you will have to try again the steps above as there is no point in going any further if the BT client cannot access your account.
OK if it is working then go to your email client (Mac Mail in my case) and in preference set up your 3rd party account as follows.
Incoming mail server is as the info from your host ( like as in 'mx.000webhost.com' above). Enter user name and password for the 3rd party account.
Now set up an Outgoing mail server (SMPT). I just called it BT with the server name 'mail.btinternet.com'. In the advance section click use default ports. It actually uses 465 if you do not have a default option.
Do NOT enable SSL
Set Authentication to 'Password'
Then in user name enter the details of the NEW BT account you opened for user name and password.
And that's it. Well it works for me! I got no assistance whatsoever from BT in trying to solve this. I asked to cancel my new BT infinity service after only 5 days when it proved so difficult to get an email client like mac mail to work. I had 4 calls from them and even the 'Tech Experts' had no idea what I was talking to them about!

Ah yes Thank you Oliver that is a better solution. However all the settings in the BT client have to remain as no SSL. If you change to use SSL there you will not be able access the 3rd party email account.
Your email client cannot handle SSL for SMTP (BT) and non-SSL for POP3 (000webhost)?

"Take All Accounts Online" [Outgoing SMTP settings for GMail and other?]

i am having issues with outgoing server settings on my Desktop machine which means that business email that i /thought/ went out in the morning gets hung up and i don't know this happened until i get a prompt showing the email and it asks if i want to edit the message or try and resend using the same server.
Edit Message, Try with Selected Server
this happens on the desktop machine running Lion with my Website Based Email (i.e. i send a message and it gets hung up in Sent folder trying to go out for like five or ten minutes and then i get a prompt showing the email asking what i want to do).
however, i am also seeing an error on the iCloud account and am always having to try to take GMail "Online" on the desktop which is a wired connection. when i run Connection Doctor i get a "Trying to log in to this SMTP account failed. Verify that username and password are correct".
in the past i used to get an SSL error so i just UNCHECKED this option in SMTP and i have taken off App Specific Passwords in GMail because i had to enter this so many times when something changed (like at least three times on 3 different devices for each email client since i have two b/c i can/t just rely onMac Mail...).
anyway, is there a reason why i have to take all my Accounts online all the time?
should i keep SSL unchecked on everything?
should i check or uncheck USE THIS ACCOUNT ONLY?
is there a TRASH THE CACHE option for Mac Mail?
perhaps i should migrate to another email client?
thanks for any advice even anything that will get me up and running temporarily so my email goes out and in.

Roger's might have changed its email configuration. Contact their help desk to ask for assistance.

Mac Mail Outgoing SMTP Settings for Exchange account

I can't seem to get my Mac Mail client outgoing smtp settings correct. I am receiving fine but cannot send. My companies IT person does not have any Mac experience and has asked that I use webmail. Please help.

Thank you sooo much for getting back to me. I am back to trying to figure this out.
I have tried to set it up with the mentioned settings without success.
I think the problem is with the Outgoing Mail Server address that was given to me by the IT person - "webmail.outdoordimensions.com".
Typically, when setting accounts up, I have used an address respective to the web access provider - i.e. "smtp.att.yahoo.com". However, this "Exchange" account is something very new to me.
Thanks again for your help. Also what is "TLS-wrapped"? I didn't find a setting option for this.

Is there an app that will check for mail or notify me instantly when I get new email?

Every 15 minutes is just not quick enough.
I checked the app store & couldn't find an app that would check for mail every minute. Am I missing it?
I know about the potential for battery drain.
Thanks in advance.
Jim
