Mail 3.0 cannot send email after clean install

mail does not manage to send mail after leopard was installed via a clean install. It seems to work for upgraded machines, but unfortunately for me, I prefer the clean install.
The problem is, that the SMTP-server simply rejects sending attempts from mail. mail then simply says "cannot send message using the server ...". I got suspicious when I entered a wrong password as then mail says that authentication failed (so the communication has to work somehow).
So I worked on getting the server logs and they say the following:
+Helo command rejected: need fully-qualified hostname; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=ESMTP helo=<Core>+
Seems like my computer send only the computers name as hostname and not the .local part any more. Systems which have been upgraded instead of a clean install do it "right" meaning they send hostname.local instead of just hostname which gets accepted by the smtp-server.
So the question is, where is the problem here? I do not really know what would be the right behavior regrading the computers name and hostname but I realize that 10.5 differs here from 10.4 leading to the problem above. My workaround in the moment is using Thunderbird which is quite sad after buying and upgrading to the new system...

I am running into the same issue. My insightbb account wont send messages. My yahoo account on the other hand, works fine. Heck, Mail wont even let me setup the insightbb account. Sometimes i can, but it rejects my username. I have to use thunderbird to send email from my insightbb account

Cannot send email after update on iphone 5

cannot send email from one account after update, states my password and/or user name incorrect. I have it written down,it's not incorrect.

After the iOS 7 update, in order to send email from my iPhone5 and my daughters (also from our iPads) I had do follow Apples reset instructions. Hold the HOME buttton and the START/AWAKE button until your device restarts and you see the Apple logo when your device restarts. You do not have to swipe the message bar which shows up sometimes as your iPhone is shutting down. Sadly to say, but on my daughters iPhone 5, I had to do this 5 times.
If you live near an Apple store, make them do it so that someone at Apple will send a fix for other people. I looked for a simple way to contact Apple and there is none. There is a series of prompts and links that are time consuming to be able to reach support about even a simple problem.

I cannot send emails after latest update/release for "an unknown reason"

Sorry to duplicate, but the reply I got to my first question didn't help, and there didn't seem to be any follow up. So I am trying to be more specific. I can receive but not send emails. I have read the page of suggested Mozilla solutions (Cannot send messages), tried them all, to no avail. I have contacted Network Solutions. Everything checks out their end. Disabling my anti-virus software does not help. I can send messages from a cell phone. As an experiment, I downloaded Opera, and tried it. I can send messages from Opera. But I don't want to use Opera. I want to use Thunderbird. The exact error message I get when trying to send is... "The message could not be sent using SMTP server XXXXX for an unknown reason. Please verify that your SMTP server settings are correct and try again, or contact your network administrator." I'd be very grateful for help with this.

Cannot send emails after installing iOS 8.1.1

since I installed 8.1.1, I can no longer send emails. i keep getting the notice that my username or password is incorrect. It is not. I have done ALL the troubleshooting actions suggested to no avail.

Whether SSL should be on is determined by your email provider. When you added the account back, did it pass the verification? So this is happening on more than one device? Have you inquired with your email provider to ensure you have the correct settings? I know that it worked before you updated, but that can remove some settings from email accounts.

Cannot send emails after a few minutes.

I have 2 linksys routers. The wireless 45 just bought yesterday to try.
Same problem.
Plug di into the cable modem? Here I sit typing this with no problems sending email at all.
I have tried all the suugestions and nothing works.
I restart everything and then do a reinstall and it works for a few minutes then gone.
Error message claims problem with server and a "too many connections error."
Any ideas? MtU, to triggering ports. Did it all.
Thank you for any help here though. ; )

Lost Ability to click & drag links to email after clean install of Firefox v-19.0

Was experiencing numerous crashes on existing Firefox (v-18.0). Upgraded to 19.0 and still had same issues. Next performed a clean install altogether to v-19.0. So far that problem seems to have been resolved...however...
Issues now being experienced:
1. - Lost all ability to simply use the click and drag method to insert a 'live' url link and embed it into an email transmission (AOL webmail). When copying and pasting url, only link text is made available and I cannot modify hyperlink to make it behave like an actual link.
I've discovered that the only way I can even hope to retrieve a live link now is to use the "Email Link" add-on and allow it to launch in MS Outlook Express (default -- no option available for AOL), then copy and paste it from that venue into my composed AOL email. Only way to embed as a hyperlink. Once done I have to delete the created MS Outlook Express page, then can send my email transmission via AOL as I've done before. CRAZY!
2. - Also, when clicking and dragging a shortcut for an actual webpage to my desktop for a later quick launch, the shortcut icon is not recognizing it as a Firefox webpage. Rather a generic icon is presented -- and I have to manually go in to firefox.exe to retrieve icon graphic and reset it to that shortcut (if I decide to). And that's for each individual shortcut created...you have to do this separately for all you may have created on your desktop. The shortcut does work as it should, regardless, but I have never had to do this before and there is no "properties" option available to make an overall default change. Yet another CRAZY!
What happened while I wasn't looking?
I am running XP SP3...and have NEVER had these issues until now -- this is ALL new!
Anyone else have any experience with this...or solutions/work-arounds you've discovered?
Thank you!

I'm a Chrome user by choice. I use Firefox for two reasons only:
1) Speedbit video downloader
2) A second browser to handle secondary Google and Facebook sign-ins.
If I remove Speedbit, I lose 50% of my reason to use your browser at all.
Speedbit and Firefox worked together just fine before version 19.
PLEASE PROVIDE A PATCH. DON'T BLAME SPEEDBIT.
Thank you.

Recovering Emails after Clean Install

Hello,
I have upgraded my 4 year old MacBook Pro to Mavericks but am unhappy with the result.
I want to do a clean install back to the original operating system - I think Snow Leopard.
I don't have a time machine or similar so was wondering if I can copy the entire Mail/V2 folder onto a dvd then paste this back into the Mail folder after the reformat and thereby recover all of my emails.
Will this work?
Regards
Grogory

Thank you. My email I think is POP and not still on the server.
If I were to export the messages onto a dvd, can I simply import the messages into the inbox of the clean install? I have never tried this before.
Regards

Cannot log in after clean install of Server 10.5.5

Excuse my lack of organization in this post, but i am a bit fried right now from trying to figure this out.
After installing OS X Server 10.5.5 via firewire (from mac mini) to the stock ATA HD in an upgraded G4, I cannot log into the system admin account that was created during the initial setup. I know im typing it exactly correct (what i entered in setup). The setup runs flawlessly and will log into the account after setup is complete, but after a reboot (to get the G4 out of Target disc mode), no dice.
I have even created another admin account (non system admin) during the time i had the option in setup and cannot log into that either. Setting it to auto log in isn't working either, yet other changes i make (such as showing restart and shutdown buttons) are effective after reboot
The only explaination that i can come up with is the way i am rebooting the system after setup is complete (rebooting via power button as shutting down from the apple applet will not shut down the machine in TDM) Obviously, this isn't a best practice, but will it screw up the login creds every time? I have reinstalled the OS 3 times and get the same result.
If it is the way im rebooting the box, does anyone have a better suggestion of getting it out of TDM after the install and setup?

Download and run Pacifist on the system install disks that came with the computer to look for iPhoto. If you find it Pacifist can extract and install iPhoto.
Also if iPhoto came with the computer originally then look for the file shown in this screenshot and use it to install iPhoto:

I cannot send emails after IOS 8.3 update

I have tried everything even going to the extent of deleting my email accounts and trying to add them back but guess what???? now it won't let me add them back.

I Had this same problem but just found a fix.
1)turn off Touch ID for App Store purchases
2)turn your phone or tablet off and then power it back on
3)go into settings iTunes & App Store and then password settings and make sure you have a purchasing time option selected
4)turn on Touch ID
Touch ID should now work for App Store purchases.

After I updated my iphone 4 to ios5 I cannot send emails

I cannot send emails after I updated my iPhone 4 to ios5. I can get them I just cant send them. I use comcast account. HELP!! Also safari is running REALLY slow.

I had this issue and this was what worked for me, I was using the "hotmail" option though.
1. go to settings
2. go to mail, contacts, calendars
3.delete your email from device
4. click "add account"
5. there should be different account options, chose "other"
6. chose "add mail account" and do so
You should be able to send now, but you might want to check how it updates. Certain email options used "push" which lets you know you have a new email the moment you get it, much like a text message. "Other" only allows you to have "fetch" which updates every selected amount of mintues, and "Manual" which does exactly what it says.
7. It should return you to the mail, contacts, calendars page. Press "Fetch New Data"
8. there will be a list of when it will update your email. The less it updates, the easier it is on battery life. There is a manually option.
9. If you want to use the actually "Manual" Update schedule then press "Advance" then your account.
10. There you can chose "Fetch" (which I suggest if you use email a lot and there is a manual option there anyways) or "Manual"
I really hoped this helped! If it did then well....awesome.

After upgrading to ios5 cannot send email

We cannot send email after upgrading to iOS 5

I tried deleted and adding and it didn't work, but I found a solution that did work.
There are several threads discussing this issue. I tried many suggested solutions without success until one finally worked and I'm sharing it in every thread.
First, here is my hardware/software situation, if your's is diff, then the fix I found might not work.
iPhone 4 upgraded to iOS 5. IMAP email wouldn't SEND
Fix:
Go into setting>mail>your account>Outgoing mail Server SMTP>Primary Server then turn Server ON and fill in both User Name + Password under Outgoing Mail Server.
It seems that in previous versions of iOS, you didn't need to enter your username and password in the outgoing mail server settings, but in iOS 5, IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
Thanks to worapoj for being the first (i saw) to post this simple fix.

I can receive AOL mail on my iPhone but I cannot send email.

I can receive email for my AOL account on my iPhone but I cannot send email from the iPhone. I can send email OK from a computer. I have AT&T service.

razmee209 (and others in this community)... HELP!
I have the same issue - I can receive email on my iPhone, but cannot send messages.   Keep getting error message: (Cannot Send Mail - The user name or password for "SMTP:[email protected]" is incorrect
This issue occurred when I changed my AOL password.   I also updated my password on my iPhone.   After exploring this issue more deeply, it appears that my iPhone did not update my password for outgoing mail (as that are more "dots" in the password field for my outgoing server account, than for the incoming server passward that was just updated.
I am unable to change ANY of the information or settings in any of the outgoing mail server accounts - except only to toggle each account ON or OFF.   All other information is "greyed" out, and unavailable and inaccessible.
I know that if I could just change (or somehow sync) the outgoing password to match the new incoming password.
PLEASE HELP!!
