Mac mail send problem

hi
a problem with mac mail. while the laptop is at the office the mail program works fine, out of office it does not - it recives mail but does not send. we have our own mail server (leopard server) it's on the office network. We use IMAP. We connect via VPN to our office network so the SMTP is always the same. When the folder username-library-mail is deleted mail recreates it and sends mails for some time but then stops.
Thunderbird in the same macbook works fine using same SMTP port
what causes this phenomena?

Whoops have jus seen this thread which looks like it is a more widespread problem than just me

My mac mail sends a false return address

my mac mail sends a false return address.
isp (Att yahoo) indicates false return address is one of thiers, but cannot understand how our computer finds it inorder to send out. The false address lists an odd email server (pimout) instead of sbcglobal ([email protected]).
isp suggests mac mail must be making contact with the server, and finding this address, some how in a search for it's appropriate address is the theory, because it is one of their's.....but has never been our address..
So, I don't really care why, but figure if I trash the right lib/pref file, I can lose this problem.
help

Paul, this is not a very clear description of your problem, but let's give it a try;
In your Preferences for Mail, Accounts, what do you have there as email name? the correct address?
Can you send me an email (provided somewhere in my profile when you click on my name) so I can see what the data in there looks like?

Yahoo! Mail send problem

Hello all, anyone know when we will see a fix for the Yahoo! Mail sending problem? (This is when the iphone appears to have sent an email by playing the "swoosh" sent mail sound, but the message was not sent, the way users have been getting Yahoo! Mail to send again is by turning their iphone off then back on).
Cheers

For what it's worth I also had this problem with Yahoo mail on my iPhone. After getting tired of waiting for Yahoo to do something about it, I decided to cancel my Premium Yahoo account and switch to Gmail. I have to tell you Gmail has been amazing and I haven't looked back since. IMAP Gmail on my iPhone has made my email experience a pure joy.
BTW - I had my Yahoo account for over 7 years. And did you know that Yahoo is an acronym for You Always Have Other Options? Well I took them up on their advice since I wasn't too impressed with their service! My 2 cents.

How do I change the hostname used when Mac Mail sends EHLO

Hi All,
I work for a tech support group and one of our clients is experiencing some trouble sending emails. When they connect to their outbound mail server Mac Mail sends the EHLO command with a hostname like 01:23:45:67:89:ab.home
Another Mac on the network sends a hostname like 00:A0:C9:14:C8:29.home2
So they appear to be the a Mac address for the computers NIC followed by a generic location in this case .home, not sure if thats a generic Mac thing or something they chose to configure but because the hostname is not an ip address and contains ".(dot)home" the outbound mail server our client uses believes it to be a domain so then rejects it as an invalid domain when a lookup on it fails.
I've changed the hostname of one of the Macs using the command "cutil –-set HostName new_hostname"
This has changed the hostname when checking it by the hostname command in a Terminal but Mac Mail still persists in using the old hostname. We've tried rebooting the machine and rebooting the machine with the left shift key held down as I believe this does some kind of rebuild of configuration files, but still the old hostname is send when Mac Mail sends EHLO.
How can I force Mac Mail to pick up the new hostname or is there something else I need to do to change it?
thanks for any assistance you can provide,
Martin

I cannot send mail from 1 of my iCloud accounts using mac mail- smtp problem

Slightly strange problem today with smtp server. For some reason timing out on po4 on one of my accounts. Another account uses po2 and is working fine. If I log in to icloud I can send messages so problem appears to be in configuration of mac mail. I have not changed anything, I can receive mail. When trying to change smtp I cannot edit the smtp box or if i do it reverts to what it was previously. Any suggestions ?

Mac Mail Bluehost problem

Macbook Pro
OS X 10.9.5 (13F34)
Processor 2.53 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
My mail is hosted on Bluehost, I haven't changed any settings. We switched our website from Bluehost to Wix on Tuesday of this week, but the email is still hosted on a separate account with Bluehost. Since switching over there have been increasing amounts of time where the mail isn't downloading. The mail comes from a joint account, my business partner is using Outlook and has not had any problems, while my Mac Mail has completely stopped downloading, it's now offline all the time. I'm using POP I've tried changing to IMAP, tried different settings - ports - but so far no success. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks for any help you can offer.

Ernie,
Thank you for the suggestion. I'm not sure if there is a spam filter at work. I know that my Eudora setup doesn't do that. (It's Eudora Light, non-paid subscription.) But I do work at a college, and they may have a spam filter in their setup. I don't think they do, but it's possible. Your suggestion also gave me another idea. The college's setup is such that I can also get my mail via the internet. I will try to do that. If I can receive emails I send to myself through internet mail, then at least I would know that the issue is between Mac mail and Eudora. Does that sound reasonable? Also, do you think any of this could be related to a keychain problem? (Just a shot in the dark.)

Attaching jpg images in Mac Mail - sending to a PC

I've been looking for some current information on this problem. Most of the posts seem to be years old. Is there a working solution to attach images to an email and allow a PC user to download them like a regular attachment?

I am having the same problem with only a select few of clients. Sending pdf - fine, they arrive as attachments. Send a jpg and they are embedded within the email and they have to copy and paste the image out of their email into another program - thus risking the quality of their computers capacity to provide a good image. Then another client has no problem. Read everything, click on everything. I can buy a iconizer, but why do I need to buy a program to simple get the jpg to the client. And why do I need to read every post back to 2003 on why Outlook does this so I can use my simple - attach file within the mac mail. So now I have to go within my computer - control click and save the file into a zip - sometime adding another folder to group them all together. More clutter on my computer.
This is what is frustrating. Go on mac posts to find answers - they have you click on all these buttons and stuff. Go to pc outlook google searches and they have them clicking and doing all sorts of fixes. Can't these two computer software groups figure this out.
If it was happening on every client - then I would think it was me. If was happening on every outlook client - I mean everyone outlook receiver - then it is outlook, but it only happens with a few. What button within outlook does the client need to click on or off - it is that simple.
I might sound frustrated but I'm not. By the post out on the net that I read - this is happening a lot but no one specific answer seems to work. And it is all related to me with the client's outlook email service.

Mac Mail sending messy code attachments to windows

I've sync 6 different mail accounts to my Mac Mail, but what it troubles me is that when I send Chinese emails with attchemnt (in Chinese too) the reciever Widonow users keep getting messy code with somthing like (鍛@?鍗＄墖.docx).
I've been look every where on Google can't find any good solution. I know that changing my Text Encoding works but I can't set it to defualt
I know there's an updates that windows can download so that they read mac's uni code, but I can't find the download link.
If I switch to Office Outlook would I still get this problem? or is there any better way that Apple can help me to solve this?

To thoughs just been searching, I just came across a app that actually solve this problem (well at least for Chinese attachment).
It's a new app develop by tencent called foxmail (http://foxmail.com.cn) it works fine for me.
you guys can go check it out. But this app's interface isn't as good as mac mail, but at least my colleagues stopped complaining at the mess code problem.

Mac Mail sending out multiple e-mails

Dear All,
My friend reports that today he is receiving 3 copies of every e-mail message that I send him. I'm working on a Mac Pro, Lion 10.7.5, using Mac Mail through Yahoo, and I have only one account. I have an iPod touch, but I have never sent e-mail through that device nor signed up for it on the iPod -- I only use my Mac desktop for sending and receiving e-mails. Anyone else having this recent problem? I never had it before today! Thanks.

Are you sure it's the Mac sending out the spam, or just spam masquerading as coming from your email account (the From: line is ridiculously simple to forge)?
While it's clearly possible to devise a system to cause a Mac to send out spam email (or any other computer for that matter), it wouldn't be terribly efficient for the spammer. Even when they take over zombie machines (and unpatched Windows XP systems are the favorites there) the spammer would prefer to use the machine to send out all kinds of email *AND* would attempt not to draw attention to the actual machine sending out the stuff.
That is, where it *appears* to be coming from will generally not be where it is coming from.
What malware prefers to do is "harvest" an address book from a user's computer (or, more often these days, from an online address book after phishing the credentials from the user) and then using that to send out emails to your contacts that look like they come from you so that they are more likely to be opened. If that's what has happened, there's nothing you could do to the Mac at this point to get that data back.
Again, while it is clearly possible to harvest that data under either OSX or Windows 7 from your address book in either platform, it is considerably more difficult to do that than to go after your credentials for an online site using a phishing attack and then make use of the contact information.

MAC Mail - Sends Mail but mail never arrives at destination

Hi,
I have Leopard installed and am using MAC Mail for email. I connect to Virgin email servers for mail. Mostly this works fine, however I have found that sometimes I send email to contacts and it never arrives and never bounces back. I think it only happens when I click 'Reply' on emails. The addresses are correct and I never get a bounce back. Anyone had this problem?

Hmm…I see two problems here: one is that your profile says you're running 10.4.10; if that's true, then you should update to 10.4.11 immediately, and you're in the wrong forum. If that's not the case, you need to update your profile so it accurately reflects the specific version of OS X you're running. And FYI: there is no MAC Mail; it's Mac. MAC is an acronym for something completely different.
As for your problem, as long as the mail is sent, what happens to it after that is out of your control. It's possible that Virgin is experiencing problems with their mail servers to that some of these emails are deleted before they ever reach their destination, and it's also possible that the recipients' ISP is experiencing that kind of problem, but it would be rare. It's more likely that something in the subject or the body of the email you're sending is being flagged as spam and that the recipient or their ISP puts them into a Spam type folder or just deletes them before they ever reach the recipient. Since I don't know what kind of emails you send or to whom, I can't be sure, but I'd ask my recipients about this first, then my ISP.

Mac Mail has problems to display HTML embedded images

Well Im new here , but have a real problem.
I create HTML pages with embedded images and send them off as MIME/multipart etc. mail through active server pages.
So far so good. All PC users see the mails with 2 embedded images at correct positions using windows e-mail .
However all Mac users receiving this mail have a problem, then MAC mail show embedded images just as a box , the 2 images become attachements of the email.
If a PC user forwards such a received HTML e-mail to a MAC user , the MAC Mail sees the 2 images are correctly displayed.
Thanks for hints and comments .

Hello BDAqua
Thanks for the dump hint - I could use it.
Well I have not been able to track down the exact cause of the problem, but at the end I have succeeded to see the pictures even on the Mac. Initially , because I tested the HTML code against Safari/Foxpro/IE9 with success and the PC's received it as a mail perfect with the pictures , I ruled out the code.
After sending it with various different parameters for 7-bit coding , multipart/alternative; multipart/mixed, with and without alternative ascii-text body, etc. and having no change of the problem (in one instance Mac stuck the pictures at the end of the mail instead of having it as attachement - but never displayed inside the page) I thought about the HTMLcode again (the mail small but was consisting of a cluster of multi nested tables, where in the pictures where placed). I started from scratch with one simple table and one picture - and saw it also on the Mac, so repeated reconstruction every table layer and picture with testing each step again - and at the end - it worked all. So my conclusion is that the mentioned browsers and windows mail are made more HTML fault tolerant for little code mistakes than mac mail. It seems that when forwarding the page from windows-mail to Mac mail , windows even corrects and thats why then it was seen ok on the Mac.
I think that a number of people had similiar experiences. I contacted one advertising company (all Mac freaks and only Mac's there, they do a lot of Internet/Intranet design and develeopments for large companies) and asked them wether they know of any hints or problems - they simply said forget it it's not possible - which is not true - but seeing the HTML correct in all browsers doesn't mean it might ok for the mac mail.
Well any way I now know where I am and know where to look if suddenly a picture is not shown anymore...
Thanks for the help and all the best.

Mac mail sending messages to people not on distribution

When sending a reply to a mac mail message that originally had several people in the distribution the reply message will send to everyone in the distribution even if you manually take out an address from the message you are sending out.

In have a similar problem. I consistently request that names of all people on send list to NOT be shown to individual addressees, but consistenly are sent all the names. Can this be corrected?

A new clue to the Apple Mail sending problems?

In my continuing efforts to fix the SMTP/POP mail failures with Apple mail, I've noticed a glitch that some of you more advanced readers might be able to decipher.
After lots of fruitless messing around with port numbers, preferences, and keychain fix attempts, what did work for me (temporarily) was a cleaning out of all the servers listed on the mail account options window, and then putting the original names and other info back in. Somehow, the mail app is spontaneously generating multiple combinations of server names, usually the original server name, plus a user name, the server name again, or some other redundant combination.
As I use mail to manage two separate POP accounts, sometimes it also creates hybrid server names by combining the server/user name pieces across both accounts.
This appears to happen entirely on its own; I had mail working for about 90 minutes, then it fell into this problem again. I'll probably have to keep cleaning it out, like a boat owner scraping barnacles off the hull, until Apple offers some kind of a patch.
Has anyone else who has the nagging "can't send SMTP mail" problem seen this phenomenon in their server/account preferences specs? If so, any ideas on how to stop this madness?

You haven’t said what the problem was in your case, i.e. what error message did you get when sending, if any, whether the mail account and the associated outgoing (SMTP) server were provided by your ISP or by someone else, etc.
Mail doesn’t spontaneoulsy generate outgoing server entries, but it keeps information about outgoing (SMTP) servers in a separate list independently of the mail accounts themselves. The account settings just associate one of the available outgoing servers with each account. Deleting an account doesn’t remove from the list the outgoing server that was associated with it. Orphaned or dangling outgoing server entries (i.e. not associated with any account) sometimes cause weird sending problems, and could very well have been the problem in your case as well.
As you appear to have already found out, you may go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP), choose Edit Server List from the popup menu, and delete any servers that shouldn’t be there — the Edit Server List panel shows the account each outgoing server is associated with.
