Macbook pro Mail "Send & Receive"

when i send an email using Macbook pro Mail OS X Mavericks a second copy is created (a duplicate) and both emails are filed in the sent folder.
The second copy is identical to the first one except sometimes is a bit bigger in size. (like for example 10KB and 11KB).
But the recipient only receives one copy. Thank you for the support.

What were the results of taking the steps under the heading "Mail Connection Doctor shows all green dots in the Status column" in the support article?

How do I stream rhapsody from my MacBook Pro to my receiver with Airport Express?

You will need an application like Airfoil for Mac to be able to stream any audio files on your computer to the AirPort Express.

Syncing macbook pro mail 4.2 with Imac 3.6mail

I have trouble with macbook pro mail in that once I read the mail on it, the mail no longer shows up on my Imac. I am able to read mail on the Imac first, and it shows up on the macbook pro. The mail programs are different versions: macbook pro is 4.2, and Imac is 3.6. All settings are set up the same on both computers.
I'd like to have access to all the mail on both computers -- is this possible?

Who is your email provider? It depends upon how they are setup to deliver email to you. If you are using a provider that supports IMAP, then both Macs can synchronize email easily. What one mail client does when connected to the mail server, the other will see once they connect and pick up changes.
If your provider uses POP3 then it's more difficult. Mail clients using POP3 to get their email don't sync very easily. The reason is that when one mail client downloads email from the mail server using POP3, it then deletes the email that it just downloaded off the server. The other mail client connects later and doesn't see the emails because the first email client deleted them after downloading them.
The main difference between IMAP and POP3 is that mail clients using IMAP leave the mail on the server, even after you've read it. The only time it's deleted is when you choose to delete it.
Now, if you're using an email service using something other than IMAP or POP3 to deliver email, then you should say so in a reply.

How can I use ichat on my macbook pro to send messages to my iPod 5

How can I use ichat on my Macbook Pro to send messages to my iPod 5 ?

If ipod 5 means ipod touch or iphone 5, simply create a AIM account and download the AIM iphone app. iChat and iMessage aren't compatible.

You need to purchase an external drive and start moving some files to it or you can try trashing some files that you no longer need.
Download OmniDiskSweeper and see where your larger files are... you can move them to an external drive or trash them: it's up to you.
I would also begin, since it's obviously don't have backups, a backup scheme or two. See Most commonly used backup methods.
Good luck,

Could the disk have failed?

Problems with Macbook Pro, Outlook sending mail, Comcast ISP

I have read several threads, but don't have a solution that works for me as of yet. I am new to the Apple community, and have a Macbook Pro using OS-X and Mavericks updates. I also use Outlook for the MAC, but this problem occurs with Apple Mail as well. I use Comcast as my home ISP. I can send and receive email while at work with no problems. At home, I can receive with no difficulty but cannot send. My work email is a POP account. I have tried overriding the outgoing server (default port 25) with ports 465 and 587, with SSL set and not set, yet I continue to get authorization or server not identified errors. I can sign in to the same webmail account through Safari with no issues on the same computer and using the same ISP, but I cannot find a way to configure either Apple mail or Outlook to send!
I've been to the Apple Genius bar and on one occasion they were able to send email, but when I got home to my Comcast ISP, that ceased working. Everything still is perfect at work, but nowhere else. Any other information needed so that I can get some help?

when I got home to my Comcast ISP, that ceased working.
If you have not already done so, call Comcast tech support and/or post in their "Mac" forums. You need to confirm that the problem is not on their end. If you call, ask to speak w/someone in tier 3 tech support for Macs.

New macbook pro wont send e-mail

hi. i bought a new macbook last weekend. i have a macbook pro already. i use mail on both thru a company called easyspace. i bought my own website and now i have a number of e-mail accounts on it. now my old mac sends emails fine. however when i enter the settings into the outgoing server bit on the new mac it wont send. have been in contact with easyspace and none of their advice works. they keep saying type smtp.iomartmail.com use password and have port 25, or 110. i also tried smtp.easyspace.com also doesnt work. any ideas. i cant believe x2 macs cant work together suing same wireless in same room? thanks for anyones help

Try backing up your Users -> yourname -> Mail folder, and then copying from one machine to the next the com.apple.mail.plist file found in Users -> yourname -> Library -> Preferences. If it still won't send, it is possible there is a limitation on your router as far as who can send mail and what ports they can use. Changing the MTU setting on your network preferences or IPv6 setting may help. Also verify your router has the latest firmware update.

Refurbished MacBook Pro Mail app sends email responses to the previous owner

I bought my MacBook Pro refurbished about two years ago, and noticed recently that when I send emails through the Mail app, I don't get the responses. I quickly found out that, when I send emails through Mail, it sends under the email of my MacBook's previous owner, and so when people respond to these emails, they get sent to her.
I tried looking it up and I can't find anyone who's had a similar problem.
Also, just to rule out one option, when I go to edit the accounts in Mail, I have the mailbox under my email address. Could it be something with my Apple ID?Has this happened to anyone else?

I doubt you want just a pig-pile in your inbox.
Create categories like Taxes, Services, Friendly correspondence, Online Orders, Apple Discussions. Move the emails into the folders and they survive on your Mac.

Mac mail on Macbook pro not sending email suddenly

OS X 10.6.8
Mac mail was working up to yesterday.
NO changes to the box or mail.
Mail will receive but not send mail; alerts with an smtp error.
Installed Thunderbird, same problem.
Mac mail on an iMac, works fine.
Thunderbird on Win Vista works fine.
pop and smtp settings are identical on all boxes.
Turned off the firewall on the laptop - no joy
Searched and have killed/rebuilt the keychain several times.
Confirmed password is correct
I have not killed and recreated the mail account; if that actually works, let me know and I'll try again.
I have rebuilt the mailbox - no joy.
Ran the diagnostics and green lights on both pop and smtp so it seems that logins are working, just can't send mail.
Any suggestions? Is there any reason that mail would stop working on the laptop but continue working on the desktop? I'm not a Mac guy so I've run out of options and any pointers would be appreciated.

"Note all the settings on the functional Mac and then transfer them to the non-functional one."
That'd be the problem. I've checked and double checked the settings/configuration; even went over them with my wife reading one set and me the other - everything matches. So, I'm making the assumption that we're missing the forest for the trees and it's something totally stupid like a swapped set of letters or an L for an I kind of thing. In order to totally eliminate these kinds of S.U.E.'s, I'd like to move a copy of the files that are the actual config from the working machine to the non-functional machine.
Since OSX is basically BSD, I'm kind of making the assumption that all the important stuff is stored in config files; I just have not been able to figure out which files and where they live.
Keep in mind that the laptop went toes up without anyone making any changes so I'm not totally convinced the issue is a typo. I've searched for other reasons a system would stop sending mail and am not getting any hits that are meaningful. If anyone has any ideas, let me know.
TIA

Check that your phone settings are not set to remove messages from your server after downloading.

New user of Macbook Pro - Problems sending out emails

Hi, I have just recently bought a macbook pro. I have created my email account. However, when I try to send an email, the message is just stuck in the outbox. What do I do to overcome this problem please?

Hi Ernie,
I found the below information when going to "what are bt yahoo settings". Is this information useful at all?
What are the BT Yahoo! Mail settings?
To use an email program to send and receive BT Yahoo! Mail messages, you must designate a new incoming (POP) mail server and a new outgoing (SMTP) mail server. Outlook Express users can do this automatically by going to My account and clicking on 'Configure my email client settings'.
If your program won't let you add new POP or SMTP servers, you'll need to change your current server settings.
Here are the basic server settings for BT Yahoo! Mail:
Incoming Mail (POP3) Server:
mail.btinternet.com
Port (usually specified in 'Advanced settings')
110
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server:
mail.btinternet.com
Port (usually specified in 'Advanced Settings')
25
Account Name/Login Name:
Your email address (including the "@btinternet.com" or "@btopenworld.com" part)
Password:
Your BT Yahoo! password
Please note: if your client does not support SMTP authentication, you will not be able to use it to send your BT Yahoo! Mail messages.

HT1277 When I delete email from my actual hotmail, yahoo and gmail accounts online, it does not delete from my MacBook Pro Mail accounts that I created for hotmail, yahoo, gmail. I thought sync'ing these accounts would do this. Please help :-)

MacBook Pro 13.3/2.3/2X2GB/320/SD-USA with Mac OS X v10.5
I've set up my Mac - Mail with my yahoo, gmail and hotmail accounts and can successfully send and receive mail. However, when I go online to my actual yahoo, gmail and hotmail accounts to delete unwanted emails or to move those emails into subfolders, my Mac - Mail is not updated. How do I do this?
Also, if you can help show me how to view my hotmail folders in Mac - Mail, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!!
Tessy

Is it POP or IMAP? - see Mail/Preferences/Accounts - highlight an account and see what the Type is.
Try Mail/'menu bar'/Mailbox/'Take All Accounts Online'

Macbook pro wont send emails...

When i first brought my macbook pro, i had no problem sending emails, it would send and make the 'wooshing' noise to say it had sent. I must have done something as i am not very experienced with computers, because now when i respond or send an email it will not send, it comes up with a swirling cirlce in the left hand collum. and next to that circle is a caution triangle, i click on this and the message read -
"UNABLE TO CONNECT
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account "AOL" or try again.
The server returned the error. The connection to the server "imap.aol.com" on port 465 timed out."
And the only option that it gives me for that message is to press "OK"
BUT sometimes instead of the option "OK" it will come up with "Stay Offline" or "Take all accounts online"
i click "take all account online" and nothing happens, i still have the swirling circle and caution sign.
Please help as this has been an ongoing problem.
Also This has been sent by my son from a seperate computer.
Thank you.

Open mail, click on the word mail (top left)
click on preferences
click on accounts
make sure all the boxes are filled in with the correct information (I don't know your info, you should be able to get that from your email provider)
Description: is your email/internet provider
Email address: your email address ie; joe the [email protected]
Full Name: your name
incoming mail server: pop(or imap) email provider (XXX.ZZZZZ.com
User name: your email address
Password: whatever you chose for your password
Outgoing Mail Server: Call you provider
The outgoing mail server SMTP: is the server that is your out going mail. (There again I don't know what that should be set to) you can try clicking on the arrow on the right of that box. If there are more than one server on the list you may have to change to the correct server, you can do this by trial and error or call your email provider for this info. Once you get this correct check the box "Use only this server"
I hope this helps, but not having any info this is the best I can do. Good luck.

MacBook Pro iMessage sending from my email account and not my phone number... how do i change this?

Hi i've had my phone and MacBook Pro connected for ages and recently my iMessage on my computer is now sending messages via my email address - how can i stop this? or rather change it back? i've just done the upgrade to Yosemite
thank you
B

No, "My Number" was not listed in my Phone menu, I had to manually type it it. Is there a way for that number to automatically be listed in that "My Number" spot? Would that maybe have something to do with my phone number not being listed as an option in the "Send and Receive" spot under messaging???
