Mail 2.1.3 outgoing mail server not recognized

I am running Mail 2.1.3 (OS 10.4.11) on an old power book. I use the outgoing mail server "smtp.me.com:name" . Each time Mail is restarted, sending an email results in the error message "Cannot verify SSL server...". Hitting Continue  lets the message be sent. Using the prescribed solution: ((1) show certificate (2) move certificate to desk top (3) double click and choose X509anchor) has no effect.  Changing the Port number e.g. from 25 to 587, also has no effect. Is there a solution to this problem, or is there something wrong with "smtp.me.com"?

I did the suggested set-up, but no joy. The result was as before:
There is no option "SMTP Authentification required" What I see is
Hitting Continue still works, but clearly there is still something wrong. Do you have any other suggestions?

  • Outgoing mail server not recognized

    Hi there
    After a week of having Snow Leopard my outgoing mail address is now suddenly rejected by the server. I have tried to delete my mail box but that doesn't work.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks Ian

    I looked this up:
    Account information
    account type POP
    Email adress : (your address)
    File name : (your name)
    Incoming server:pop.prodigy.net.mx
    username:(your name)
    password:(your password)
    outgoing server: (depends what you have configured) see further down.
    tick the box use only this server
    Under Advanced select advance on top of your menu.
    Enable this account: tick this box
    Include when auto....etc:click this box
    leave copy etc : do not tick box
    Now still to configure outgoing server for that use connection doctor.
    You find this in the drop down menu just beside left off the help drop down menu.
    Click the doctor.The doctor goes scanning and find the incoming server a green indicator is lighted.
    I t does not find out going server and a red light appears.
    Double click on the message beside the red light
    A menu appears for out going server.
    In the top square empty all info that is there by clicking - (= the minus sign) under this top square
    When empty click + to enter the details for outgoing server.
    A light gray double click appears.
    do that and fill in your details: smtp.prodigy.net .mx
    give a name to this server:that name is the one I mentioned above depends etc
    click apply.
    Close the window and you will be asked to save if it is not saved already.
    Remember my first advise above when you still can not get connected the reason may be that your provider use a dynamic DNS address the changes every tim you log in for this change the DNS address as in my previous advise.
    Please let me know if it works for you.Connection Doctor is the only way I could reach quick access to outgoing server.
    Alternatively delete all the accounts and just follow the procedure for adding account.
    Wait until the server is found take quite some time but you may still have patience after this.
    I have spend 3 days to get it all right! and 3 hours phone my provider and 3 hour Apple

  • TS2621 why my outgoing mail server not working after ios 6 upgraded

    why my outgoing mail server not working after ios 6 upgraded

    Ask your carrier to send you the settings over wifi and then install them that way.
    I'm on giffgaff and I used the giffgaff app from the store to sort this out.
    Overall though I must say Apple has let itself down on this as why isn't something written in the ios script that keeps the original settings??
    Very Poor indeed and I held off using Apple products for years for this very reason!!

  • TS3899 Not able to access gmail thru iPhone. Error message states "mail server not accessible"

    Not able to access my Gmail in my iphone. Error message pops up
    "...... mail server not responding ........"

    Did this used to work or have you just set it up for Gmail access? Did you do it in accordance with: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4810 ?
    Are you accessing it via cellular network or WiFi? If WiFi then is this your usual network?
    If it has been working fine for some time and now suddenly you get this message having changed nothing then it is most likely a temporary glitch at Google end or your ISP perhaps.

  • Me outgoing mail server not working from iPhone / Reply to email address

    Hi, I have MM sent up on my iPhone and Mac, the SMTP outgoing mail server does not work from the iPhone but does from the Mac, to get around this I changed the outgoing server on the iPhone to my optusnet outgoing server, that has been working fine, the problem I have is if someone reply's to a email from the phone it gets bounced back becuase the reply to email address for me is @mac.com not from @me.com
    I have tried to change the reply to email address in the phone but it only allows you to change the name not the @mac.com
    I have only ever had a Me account not a .Mac account so I dont know why its locked to @mac

    I deleted the MM account on the phone and reinstalled it again. Now it is working.

  • Suddenly outgoing mail server not working!

    Out of nowhere, I am all of a sudden having problems with my outgoing mail servers. Most of my email accounts are through AOL, so based on which screen name I am emailing from, the outgoing server as always been smtp.aol.com:username. But lately, when sending mail, I get the drop down "try a different outgoing mail server warning. My internet service is through Comcast, so if I change the outgoing mail server to smtp.comcast.com, the mail will send. But why has this problem popped up? Did Comcast change something? AOL? Thanks for any help anyone has!

    I have got a similar problem. Mail has never worked properly - I can receive emails but not send them, Although the data for the smtp-server is absolutely correct and so is all rest password etc. - I've also tried other ports but they didn't work either. It can't be my computer or some firewall because Entourage, the microsoft mail-programme works perfectly well. After having had constant trouble with my PC, I bought this mac 2 months ago - and now I'm having more problems. Is there anyone who can give me a hint of what to do? Thanks.

  • Adelphia outgoing mail server not working

    I have been trying for the last week or so to get my adelphia mail to send from Mail. I can receive mail no problem, but the outgoing mail server does not work. I have the settings as such:
    outgoing server: mail.adelphia.net
    server port: 587 (also tried 25)
    SSL: off
    Password: none
    The error that I get is that port 587 times out. When I switch it to port 25 I get "This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
    Verify that you have addressed this message correctly. Check your SMTP server settings in Mail Preferences and verify any advanced settings with your system administrator."
    I made sure my password is correct in keychain as well.
    When I run a tracer route to find the ISP I get " gig2-1.clmascspv-rtr1.sc.rr.com, cable6-cha.edge.aol.com, son4-1-2.rlghncrdc-rtr3.nc.rr.com " as #2, 3, 4. I have tried to use these servers, but with no success.

    Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
    I get 100% success pinging mail.adelphia.net, and if at your home venue where Adelphia is your ISP, then I think no separate Authentication is required. Port 25 would be the proper port. However, if you are not at home, and the provider of internet connection limits you to using only authenticated SMTP then you would not able to use mail.adelphia.net as the Outgoing Server.
    Are you at the venue where Adelphia is the ISP?

  • Mail server not sending (for one addressee)

    Mail is working perfectly except for one addressee.  I can send/receive mail from/for anyone else.  After hitting 'send', this message appears:

    -----Thoughts?

    So I thought this was fixed but I'm still hearing that users of the virtual domain that we haven't cut over yet are not getting their e-mail. It seems like our server is holding onto messages that need to be sent on to the old server for now until I change the MX record.

  • Comcast mail server not sending to Mail...

    today, I haven't received any emails, which is unusual  and decided to send myself a test- nothing.  Checked the Comcast website for mail and nothing showed up there either.
    This is just another in a succession of frustrating non-deliveries.  I've had business contects send me messages that don't come through- even though they are already in my address book and we have sent emails previously. 
    I've checked my Mail settings and everything seems to be fine. 
    Can anyone tell me why some (or even all!) emails would not be delivered by Comcast? 
    I also went on their site and totally removed any spam filters, and set a preference to receive emails from this specific sender.  No luck!
    thanks for any help

    I assume you're using Mail. I'm sure you've checked and re-checked but it is very likely something minor wrong with your smtp settings.
    In Mail>Preferences>Accounts, click on your email account tab and from the 'Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)' drop down menu select 'Edit SMTP Server list. On the Account information tab make sure you have got the correct smtp server address. On the Advanced tab verify that you have the correct Authentication, that the Password is correct and that the User name is correct. I have various email accounts and some of them require the complete email address against User Name while others only require the part of the address before the @ symbol. Get that wrong and it could be your problem.

  • Ocs mail server not forwading email

    Hi all,
    I have OCS email server with a mail domain. OID has em forwarding set for users to forward em to external mail domain. The OCS web email client works, sending em to local domain i.e. [email protected] forwards to [email protected] Problem is sending mail from database using utl_smtp.
    OCS oes/log/um_system/smtp_out/blah/blah.log shows mail success but mail does not arrive at target users external email. If I remove the forwarding em in OID mail gets through to users localmail domain and user can access via ocs em web client. Can't see what could be different between OCS mail vs. database mail using utl_smtp.
    Any help is appreciated
