.mac outgoing server fail

outgoing mail for my .mac and .me accounts is failing to send for two days. It will randomly work for a few sends and then hang.
trying outgoing port swaps no luck, tried rebooting everything, no luck. Sends OK from gmail account. current status: not sending.

Setup your .Mac Mail account preferences to use the GMAIL outgoing mail server. You may be seeing a side effect of .Mac moving to iCloud.

TS1398 My iPad cannot send mail - the connection to the outgoing server failed

My iPad cannot send mail - the connection to the outgoing server failed.

Go to the email settings, and re-enter your Outgoing Server username and password.
Have you changed that recently, perhaps on the Incoming Server but not on the Outgoing server?

All of a sudden, I am no longer able to send e-mails (tho I still receive them). the error message says "outgoing server failed" Any ideas?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Can you send email from that account on another device?
- You can try deleing the account from the iPod and reentering the settings.

Outgoing server failing!

I have 4 email accounts on my iPhone. Seems like they have been inconsistently able to send email. Sometimes I can get one out but I can't figure out why or when. FYI all my .mac emails work fine.
I have a comcast and an eshcelon account that don't work very well.
I've tried the cwmx.com server with mixed results. and the servers provided by the providers also with mixed results.
Error message always reads -"the connection to the outgoing server "server.name.com" failed."
Any ideas???
thanks

atomic guy,
Per the Comcast help article that is linked to this Apple Kbase:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306074
Use smtp.comcast.net port 465 with SSL on.
For those in the UK or Germany with similar issues the common settings articles are linked in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306990
Hope this helps,

Connection to the outgoing server failed

My iPhone keeps saying connection to the outgoing server "smtp.mac.com" failed. I also have 2 unsent messages that have been trying to send for 2 weeks. I have 2 questions:
1) How do I get rid of the connection failure?
2) Where are the unsent messages and how do I delete them?
Thanks for any advice

whoa and behold guys, I have the same problem BUT I fixed it. I was up all night looking for answers. I wanted to reply back this morning from a guys email sent to my aol email stating to pray for a job promo. this morning newspaper he made headlines for the school district board of something I dunno..
So I wanted to reply congrats, but thats were I encountered the problem.
I figured I put in the USERNAME and PASSWORD, AGAIN in the outgoing mail server portion (smtp), which is the last portion. leave your advance settings the same as usual I think. for mines, use SSL on both incoming and outgoing, password authentication, and of course 993 port for incoming, 587 for the other..
I tested mailing from my gmail to my aol mail address, and I had my aol software open. I checked aol mail on my iphone, and while watching the aol screen the mailbox icon went away.. MAGIC!!
but thats not what you want to hear..... i replied BACK on my iphone.. and it SENT!!! i checked my gmail.. WHOA AND BEHOLD there it IS!!!! you guys will want to thank me badly LOZL

HT4519 connection to outgoing server failed

I am having difficulty setting up my work email on my iphone 5
I can receive emails but cannot send. An error comes up and says, The connection to the outgoing server [email protected] failed. Additional Outgoing mail servers can be configured in settings....
My company name is CTS, so my email is [email protected]
Can you please guide me through the process?
Thank you.

I am paying a major UK provider for authenticated SMTP access, and they confirm it should certainly work when out and about with the iPhone (as did British Telecom before them - BT insisted it should work "anywhere in the country"). The settings are correct. But it hardly ever works. With BT, the usual message was "No response from the server mail.btinternet.com". With my current provider, it's "The connecton to the outgoing server . . . failed". Very occasionally it does work, which presumably confirms that the settings are correct (which I know anyway).

TS1702 cannot send Mail   The connection to the outgoing server failed. Additional Outgoing Mail Servers can be configured in Settings Mail, COntacts, Calendars

Cannot send outgoing messages from my IPhone. Receive the following message:
               Cannot Send Mail
               The connection to the outgoing server"[email protected]" failed. Additional OUtgoign Mail Servers can be configured in Settings> Mail, Contacts,                Calendar

Often removing a mail service from iPhone and resetting works

Outgoing server failed

I keep getting error messages saying that my iphone cannot connect to my incoming server and my outgoing server has failed. I have checked all the settings against what my host provided and they are correct. What is going on? My iphone is on the Verizon network and it's iphone4.

.Mac Outgoing Server Greyed Out in Mail

I'm trying to use my original .mac account and all the information goes through fine when using the Mail wizard but when .mac appears in the mail preferences, the Incoming Mail Server is greyed out and hasn't carried over the information I originally put in. It also won't let me enter anything into the field.
The account type I've set up is MobileMe IMAP
Can anyone help, please?

Setting up a MobileMe IMAP should not longer work, as the settings will be wrong.
Go to icloud.com and sign in with your apple id (guess that'll be your @mac address?). Verify you see your mail correctly there. If you do, remove your @mac email from mail menu >> preferences >> accounts. Then, go to system preferences >> icloud, sign in with your apple id and put a check beside 'mail'. Your mail will be automatically setup for you in the mail.app. If you want to send from your @mac address, click the pull down menu beside the "from" field while composing an email and select that address.
You can also set default address to send from in mail menu >> preferences >> composing.
iCloud mail settings are not supposed to be edited manually unless you're setting up it up on a system prior to Lion.

Outgoing server keeps failing

Randomly when I try to send mail my outgoing server fails. The drop down window invites me to try again with selected server or change servers .... none of which work!
At the same time the window wanting me to sign in with my password appears.... Help!!

My problem is similar. Using Mac OS Mail. Every so often (random, no pattern) out of the blue the SMTP server (mediacombb) is forgotten. I don't have multiple outgoing servers, so it just asks me 'which one' I want to use. And of course there's only one listed, so I use that, and it sends just fine. WHY does it keep forgetting to use the one server I have listed? Makes no sense.

Outgoing mail server failed to deliver this message

This message appeared. I have not sent 400 messages. What's the deal??
""The outgoing mail server “smto,mac.com:jones” failed to deliver this message. 4.0.0 You have exceeded 400 recipients in the last 24 hours. Try again later.""
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.2.8)

You're welcome.
If you're a .Mac member using Mac OS X version 10.2.1 or later, you can synchronize the contact information between the Address Book application on your computer and your .Mac Address Book on the web. You can also synchronize your contact information between multiple Mac OS computers.
If you're using a version of Mac OS X earlier than version 10.4, you must have iSync installed on your computer to synchronize the information. To download iSync, go to
www.apple.com/support/downloads/isync.html
You can't synchronize the information in your .Mac Address Book if you have an email-only account.
To sync your .Mac Address Book:
Do one of the following:
If you're using a version of Mac OS X earlier than version 10.4, open iSync and click the .Mac button. Register your .Mac account, turn on .Mac synchronization, and then click the Sync Now button.
(Note: If you are syncing contact information between multiple Mac OS computers, use iSync to register all the computers you want to keep synchronized. For more information, choose Help > iSync Help when iSync is open.)
After the sync has completed, go to www.mac.com and click Address Book on the .Mac tab.
Click Preferences, and then select the "Turn on .Mac Address Book
Synchronization" checkbox.
Click Save.
With Address Book synchronization turned on, the contact information in your .Mac Address Book on the web and the Address Book application on your computer will be updated with any changes each time you sync.
You can turn off synchronization between the Address Book application on your computer and your .Mac Address Book on the web by deselecting the "Turn on .Mac Address Book Synchronization" checkbox. While this checkbox is deselected, changes you make to either address book are saved until the next time you select this checkbox and click the Sync Now button on the .Mac pane or in iSync. (For example, if you delete an address from your .Mac Address Book with this checkbox deselected, this address will be deleted from the Address Book on your computer's hard disk the next time you sync with synchronization turned on.)
If your kid has his/her own computer login account, one way to transfer selected contacts from your Address Book to your kid's address book is to create a folder on the Desktop named Contacts or whatever you prefer. Launch Address Book and one at a time, select a contact's name to highlight it and then single click and drag the contact to the created Contacts folder on the Desktop. This will create a vCard copy of the contact.
Using the Finder, go to Home > Shared. Place the Contacts folder on the Desktop in the Shared folder.
When your kid logs in to his/her account, the Contacts folder will be available in his/her Shared folder at Home > Shared.
Launch Address Book and at the menu bar, go to File > Import and select vCards. Navigate to/within the Contacts folder in the Shared folder and the vCards in the Contacts folder will be imported to your kid's Address Book.

I have an iMac, and have a Verizon DSL account. Recently, my Mac Mail keeps requesting the passwords on my account every few minutes, and will not allow me to send messages using Mac Mail. I cannot edit the outgoing server; how can I send emails?

I have an iMac, and have a Verizon DSL account (3 email addresses). Recently, my Mac Mail keeps requesting the passwords on my accounts every few minutes, and will not allow me to send messages using Mac Mail (the message says that the outgoing server was rejected. I cannot edit the outgoing server, and the keychain will not save my passwords (the ports are valid). How can I change the outgoing server to send emails, and how can I avoid having Mail request my passwords every 2 minutes? Verizon, as usual, will not provide support to iMacs.

Is there an email saved in your drafts or outbox folder? I suspect that Mail is continually trying to send it, and each time Google is rejecting the email message.
You can open the message and then delete it from your Outbox folder. Then try removing all @gmail email addresses from it and seeing whether you can send to the other folks. I suspect that will work.
With email, if an SMTP server *can* verify email addresses, sometimes it will and it will refuse to send messages. If a message has to be relayed across servers, no verification is done, and you'll get a bounce if an email address is bad.

Failed to create a user with Mac Mini Server, the message "Failed to process the command writesettings" in the module "servermgr_sharing"

I have a Mac Mini with OS X Server 10.8.5 and Server 2.2.1 and have a problem to share the public folder.
When I enter the Server application to indicate that I want to share the public folder on the network and assign user I get the following message appears
And I can not share the folder.
If I go from my i-mac get mac mini server view and access the public folder, but I can not open any of the files there.
That I can do to fix this?
thank you very much

My Macbook pro processor is a 2.4 GHz intel Core i5 using Mac OS X. I go to the network diagnostics and it starts to work. After about a minute the ISP and Server fail. Same thing happens when I try again. My desktop internet works fine.

Disk Erase Failed. Disk cannot be dismounted on Mac Mini Server

Ok, this is a bit crazy for me anyway. I have a Mac Mini Server running Snow. My Server HD failed but fortunately my Mac HD was being used as an image backup and I can boot from it fine and runs perfect. The bad disk was not showing in Disk Utility at all. So I bought a new one and replaced it.
Now Disk Utility sees it but if I try to format it or partition it, I get the message the it cannot be dismounted. I tried re-setting NVRam (Optio+CMD+P+R) but n luck.
I have my original Snow DVD but I have no external DVD. I have a MacBook Pro Mountain Lion.
How do I erase my new disk so I can copy everything back?
Any help is appreciate it.

Although thats an excellent suggestion but in the end I attached an old usb backup drive and restarted and held down the Option key to select it to boot. Then it went into Disk Utility, and I reimaged the 2nd drive to the new drive. After the reimage I restarted and held down the Option key to allow me to select the first drive.
The only issue I had was to rename my boot drive back to Server HD, which I did by using Finder and one more restart.
I guess the rule is you cannot unmount the boot original boot drive unless you boot from an external drive.
All is good now and thank you.
