Lion Mail can't send/receive and requiring Force Quit.

After Lion 10.7 , Mail Version 5.0 (1244.2/1244.3) can't send or receive (to smtp or pop servers) as usual with Snow Leopard. In addiction, Mail seems hanged and is not quitting graciously... requiring Force Quit.
Today I noted a lot of users reporting Mail problems after Lion, and Apple site says there was only a minor changes at Mail authentication methods. I tried everything they said... and everything communities said. Nothing works. 
Is Apple really working on Mail reported problems ?

I get emails with my sbcglobal and ymail but i cannot send any email!! this is getting very annoying.  It used to work just fine on snow leopard. I even tried using the same setup that I have on my iPhone, same smtp etc and nothing seems to work...

  • Mail can't send now and still no sound.

    As well as no new mail sound , now I can not send mail, it asks over and over for the outgoing server password.
    I am using Leopard 10.5.5 and Mail 3.5 on my Mac Mini G4
    Mail is just getting worse, why do we have to use other email programs, when we pay for Leopard ? I'm getting so sick of this.

    Rodney,
    Who is the provider of the SMTP you are using? Some ISP (notably Comcast) have recently changed how they handle even the SMTP they provide.

  • Mail can't send/receive but Eudora works fine

    After reading through many of the threads here and changing my preferences in every conceivable way (SSL, authentication, advanced settings etc) I still can't get Mail to send or receive mail.
    However, when I opened my old Eudora, my e-mails came through lightning fast.
    Any ideas why this might be happening? I'd prefer to use Mail but will use Eudora if necessary.

    Create a new user account on your Mac with the same permissions as your existing one and start Mail. Configure your email address and see if it works. If it does then you might have a corrupted Mail Property List file on your normal user account.
    Log out and log back in to your normal user account and move the file com.apple.Mail.plist from within folder <home>/Library/Preferences to the desktop and then re-start Mail.
    It will launch as if it has never been configured before so create your primary email account and see if that now works.

  • FF 4.0 hangs and requires forced quit every time I open VMWare Fusion 2.06 on my Mac (Snow Leopard). Anyone know why?

    I get the rainbow wheel and FF becomes totally unresponsive the moment I open VMWare Fusion 2.06. It's appears to be a clear and consistent cause and effect.
    No crash ID because FF doesn't crash. Just hangs permanently.

    I'm afraid very little. The crash dump you included is very odd. It crashes at a point that all applications have to pass (it's a standard library function), so I had hoped it would have been something outside the application (and it crashes at the point where it has set the services menu, that's why).
    I can only suggest very global things at this point. Check permissions with "Disk Utility" and download the latest update to "Pro Applications" perhaps.
    By the way, I have got two services folders: one in the Library folder under the hard disk (so Macintosh HD > Library > Services), and one in the Library folder in my home directory. Check both places to be sure.

  • Since upgrading iMac to osx lion I have been experiencing problems in mail, it spontaneously stops receiving and tells me it can't find the pop server and also the biggest problem is that when I send with an attachment the recipient doesn't receive it.

    Since upgrading iMac to osx lion I have been experiencing problems in mail, it spontaneously stops receiving and tells me it can't find the pop server and also the biggest problem is that when I send with an attachment the recipient doesn't receive it.
    I have to restart mail most times before it starts recieving or recognizes the pop server.
    As I said a lot of recipients do not recieve my mails when there is an attachment or when I reply to their email.

    There is a huge difference between sending email and sending messages.
    Yes, I believe you when you say you can only send messages to other Apple products.  The iPad is not a telephone, and therefore, it cannot text message.  It can only iMessage, which means it can send and receive messages to/from other Apple products if they are on WiFi or an iMessage capable cellular network.
    Email, however, is a whole different category.  I don't really think you can only exchange email with other Apple products only.  Make sure you have correctly identified the symptoms.

  • Mail can't send email from 123-reg accounts

    Hi all,
    I've got an issue with Mac Mail can’t send email from 123-reg accounts.
    I know there is a lot of articles on simular matters and some I have tried out with no luck, others are just speaking a whole other language.
    Any help would be greatly recived, here's my situation below:
    Running a iMac 2.8GHz Intel Core i5 on OS X 10.8.3
    I’m using 3 accounts on Macs Mail client, one is my iCloud account that is working fine and the other two are my 123-reg accounts that I use for business purposes. I’ve been working like this for a couple of years now and about 6 months ago I upgrade my operating system from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
    2 or 3 months ago I randomly got a problem where I was unable to send any emails from my 123-reg account, I could only receive emails. I checked my settings and they were all correct and unchanged so I attempted to delete them and recreate the account but with no such luck.
    I then decided to check if it was a problem at 123-regs end and attempted to log into web mail. This worked and was able to both send and receive emails so eliminated that possibility.
    I also have these accounts set up on my iPhone, so checked if there was any issues and everything was working fine. I then checked my iphone details and made sure the same was on my desktop and still no such luck.
    I’ve tried out some of the articles I’ve found on here (the ones written in plain English) still no results. I’m not very IT illiterate and just wondered if anyone else has got any ideas, whether there is something specific with 123-reg accounts and Mac Mail?
    Many thanks.

    Thanks
    I just had another hunt around looking at posts and discovered that it was because I recently changed to BT Infinity and they had a block on.
    I didn't even think to question the ISP.

  • Why is my texting using data? When I have data turned off I can't send/receive. Texting is "unlimited" but it's using up all my data- help!

    Why is my texting using data? When I have data turned off I can't send/receive. Texting is "unlimited" but it's using up all my data- help!

    Texting longer text messages or any media (pictures/video/sound etc) being sent requires data to be active. However, it does not count against your data caps.
    Since you have an iPhone, you must also be aware of the difference between iMessage and SMS Text messages. The iPhone, by default, will send an iMessage when sending another text message to anyone else with an iPhone, iTouch, or iPad. This does use your data if you are not connected to wifi. In Settings, you can turn iMessage off, and then all of your texts will go through Verizon.
    Also understand- iMessage will use wifi when connected to wifi, but would need cellular data connection to work when not connected to wifi. Regular SMS text messages that are long or any media will always use the cellular data and not wifi, so will not send if cellular data is turned off, even if on wifi. However, this does not count against your cap.

  • Lion mail won't send

    My lion mail won't send. It just spins it's little spinner to infinitum. What can I do? (lion upgrade on imac).

    Select Window ▹ Connection Doctor from the Mail menu bar. You should see a green dot next to each of the mail servers you've defined. Is that what you see? If not, click the Show Details button. A drawer opens at the bottom of the window. If there's text in that drawer, please post it. If not, click Check Again and post the text that appears. Edit out any personal information before posting.

  • Can Not send pictures and documents with my webmail, the link is Not visible on Safari Browser

    Hello, i can Not send pictures and documents wit my tele2 webmail, the link to so this is Not visible. I tried Safari, Opera, and Dolphin.

    Safari doesn't support the attaching/uploading of files. If you want to send documents or photos that you have stored on the iPad then you can use the Mail app - if you've set up your email account on it, then you should be able to start in the app that contains the document, and then use that app's functionality to select the document and attach it to an email e.g. in the Photos app you can use the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it to select and email a picture

  • Mail can't send messages

    I have AT&T Yahoo DSL and my imac mail can't send messages. It says the smpt server has timed out trying to send the message on port 25.

    Open Connection Doctor in the Window menu
    Double click on whatever is showing as red.
    Check the following settings.
    pop.att.yahoo.com
    smtp.att.yahoo.com
    Click Advanced to enter the SSL and port info.
    Both incoming and outgoing mail use authentication
    Use (SSL) and SMTP port 465.
    Use (SSL) and change the POP3 port 995.
    Confirm the above settings before clicking OK.
    Then check connection doctor again.
    There is an incoming mail server and an outgoing mail server for each account.
    So for each account there should be 2 servers.
    Count how many servers there are set up in connection doctor.

  • Mail Can't Send To "NULL"

    After adding an iPhone to my setup, suddenly Mail has decided not to send on the first try from certain accounts. I get a long message that basically says "Mail can't send from account 'NULL', select another server". So I click edit and re-send and the mail goes out fine on the original server that had been specified – I do not select another server as the dialogue box suggests.
    Is there anyway to fix this so I don't have to send every e-mail twice?

    Hey Woodwyn.
    I'm having the same exact problem.
    It's been happening for a while(several years), but lately, it's been doing it more often.
    I repaired permissions, and all that stuff.
    My computer is a lap top, and when I take it to work, the Mail program does the same thing.
    I don't select a different server. It's already set to the correct server. Why should I change it?
    And my network setting are fine. I haven't changed them, so why should I even check them?
    Anyway, I have to click "send" 4 or 5 times, in order for my e-mails to send.
    The error message says exactly this:
    "Cannot send message using the server (null)
    The server response was: From: address not verified; see http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/manage/sendfrom-07.html
    Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server. All messages will use this server until you quit Mail or change your network settings."
    Very frustrated right now.

  • I can't send/receive any message/call but I can connect to the internet. What's wrong?

    I can't send/receive any message/call but I can connect to the internet. What's wrong?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
