Mail 4.5 (1084) won't send

About an hour ago I noticed that the Send icon was twirling constantly. I have six messages that are stuck in the outbox. I've tried all the usual tricks short of rebooting -- which I plan to try as soon as I finish this message. Both on my wife's iMac (Lion) and my MacBook, this is a persistent problem. We've been running into it for years. Any advice? Thanks. - Tony Lima

Actually smaller attachments are downloaded automatically, or perhaps it depends on attachment type?
Try the same with say 2MB .PPT file .. email the file to yourself. It will come through as "click to download" icon (see image above). Trash the message (before SAVE or clicking on attachment), now try opening it in the trash or pulling it back to inbox and then open it. Attachment is gone and you get garbage - clearly extra data is there but is non-readable.
Not a big issue for a single user - potentially very big issue for an admin supporting large number of end-users, some of which are recent Outlook transplants.
Btw, I'm using IMAP server and I have enabled "Store deleted messages on the server"

Mac mail version 6.2 won't send

Can anyone help. Yesterday, 4 of my 5 email accounts stopped sending on both my iMac and MBP. Have restarted system numerous times, repaired disk permissions, checked all email settiungs and no joy. Any suggestions?

In Mail>Preferences>Accounts make sure you have the proper smtp Outgoing Mail Server and that the port is correct per your ISP's advice.

Apple Mail ignoring SMTP defaults - won't send out.

For a couple of weeks, my Mail App has been behaving badly on sending out emails. I have several accounts set up, one uses mac.com, it works. But, my business emails use Bellsouth as the outgoing mail server, because I have DSL through them.
In preferences, the business accounts have bellsouth.net as the SMTP, with port 25 and no authentication. When I send email, I get an error message showing ONLY the mac account as an outgoing server, even though bellsouth is the specified SMTP server for that account. I have discarded the outgoing mailbox accounts under home/library/mail/mailboxes many times. I have tried changing the port to 587 as suggested in another thread. I can send mail from the bellsouth web page. Nothing helps.

The following is a drastic step but it may resolve the problem since you have tried everything else I know to try besides targeting the Mail.app preference file.
Quit the Mail.app first and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail. Copy the Mail folder and place the copy on the Desktop for backup purposes.
Using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.mail.plist. Move the com.apple.mail.plist file to the Desktop.
Note: Moving the com.apple.mail.plist file out of the Preferences folder will require re-entering all email account information when re-launching Mail.
The only exception to this will be if you have a .Mac account and/or if you provided email account information as part of the computer setup assistant.
Launch Mail and decline any prompt to import mailboxes. After re-entering all email account information the same as before, the Mail.app should rediscover the existing account named folders and mailboxes at Home > Library > Mail.
After confirming all mailboxes were successfully rediscovered, you can delete the copy of the Mail folder and old com.apple.mail.plist file from the Desktop.
Test if this resolves the problem.

Mail + Exchange IMAP Server won't send mail

Any help would be appreciated!-
My university just switched over to Exchange 2007 for our mail servers, and since the change occurred, I can receive my mail just fine with the IMAP settings they provided. The problem occurs when I attempt to send mail; the server rejects my password (which I know is correct) and will not send any mail. I've also put below the link that the university has provided for students to set up their mail accounts within. I called IT, and they said that Mail wouldn't work until Apple updated their program, which didn't seem right to me because I'm sure that I would see more people complaining than just me. I am on campus, which would also eliminate the need for using the available VPN client.
Can any of you see maybe what settings they may have missed mentioning to us loyal mac fans on campus?
Their guide for connecting mail is located at:

Thank You for any help you may provide!

Jimmy,
Many email providers do not allow emails to be sent on their outgoing servers when the user is outside of their network as an anti-spam protection. This may explain why you were able to send mail from your school account when you were on your school's Wi-Fi connection, but not on your home connection or EDGE. You may want to check with your school's email provider to verify this is the case.
In the meantime, this article has some good troubleshooting steps and alternatives that you can use so that you will be able to send mail when you are away from your school's Wi-Fi network:

Hope this helps,

N iPad Mail bug. It won't send, asks me to provide a password in Settings, already there. Draft screen freezes, have to turn iPad off/on, mail still doesn't send.

This seems to be a genuine bug. Here's the behaviour - after composing message, and hitting Send, I get a message asking to provide a password, with two choices, Settings or OK. Going to settings, and resetting the already set password does nothing, hitting OK takes you out of that screen. If you open the unsent message under Drafts, it is frozen, the Cancel and Send buttons are grayed out, and you can't do anything else in Mail unless you turn the iPad off and on. Anyone know what to do here?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

MAIL WILL REPLY, BUT WON'T SEND FRESH EMAILS FROM ADDRESS BOOK

HI, Recently set up my pop3 account on mail. And hit a problem. Mail will receive emails, will send "REPLYS" but will not send fresh emails from address book or even if i type them in manually.
This is so stupid.
Help guys, Thanks
Liam

You should set it to Port 465, and select SSL, assuming this is the smtp.gmail.com server. Your ISP is probably blocking use of such a SMTP on Port 25, and that is very common policy.

Mail receives emails but won't send

I receive emails from my hotmail account, but I am unable to send. Have tried deleting account and reentering it. Have deleted my outbox and the circle is still spinning around next the the 'sent'. This is annoying Apple - sort it out!!!

Hi emibarwell
I am in the UK and eventually found the problem was due to my BT Home Hub Router.
I found this fix below on https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4604180?start=15&tstart=0
It worked for me. If you can't link to the URL, here is the body of the text
There's an issue related to the BT homehub that is providing a hostname that is "syntactically incorrect" for several smtp server.
Here's how you can fix it.
Using your internet browser, go to the address "192.168.1.254
- Follow instructions to reset your password if asked.
- Then go to "Settings", then "Advanced Settings" and "home network"
You will see there all the devices that are connected or that has been connected before. It's gonna be easyer if yout computer is the only one connected.
Your computer should have a name like "unknown-xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ...
Click on this name, chose another name without any special characters, like "macbook" for exemple.
And then click on "apply"
- restart your computer.
That should fix the issue.
Credit goes to vincentfromcork for providing me with the solution.

My iPhone 5c won't send iMessages, snapchats, email from the Mail app, and it won't load YouTube. Other internet apps like Pandora and Instagram work fine though. Any suggestions on how I can fix this?

A couple days ago I first noticed the problem when snapchats would appear on my lock screen but when I opened the app I kept getting the error message that the app was not able to refresh my story. Then the next day I was no longer able to send iMessages, they wouldn't go through and would only reach the second party when I sent them as text messages. Also, YouTube won't load and Mail won't send or receive email. I've already tried restarting my phone but there was no change. At first I thought my network connection was the problem but Instagram, Safari, Vine and Pandora all work perfectly. Any suggestions?

Try this procedure to be sure of a proper restart.
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
I would also try: Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings

After update to OSX 10.9, Mail won't send attachments

Since upgrading to Mavericks (OSX 10.9), Mail (7.0) won't send email attachments using my employer's MS Exchange account. All other messages (without attachments) send just fine, and no Exchange server or account settings were changed. Attachments send just fine via the exchange web application, so it's not an account or mailbox size issue. The problem happens even with small attachments (I just tried one that was 173 kb).
After I hit send, the activity window says "adding message" for a time, then an error comes up "Cannot send message using the Exhange server" then give me an option to use my gmail or icloud which work fine.
Any ideas?

I actually was able to solve the issue using some info gleaned from other posts. I think it had to do with some exchange account settings from a prior version of Mail that were still on my machine and interfering with the new Mail app. Here's what I did to fix the issue.
Make sure I had a good backup in Time Machine (including system settings) in case something goes wrong
Delete Exchange account using "system preferences > internet accounts"
Close Mail
Show hidden files
Terminal command: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
Terminal command: killall Finder
Using Finder, locate and delete the file: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Using Finder, locate and delete the folder(s) and all their contents: ~/Library/Mail/V2/EWS-(your exchange acct info)I actually had a couple of these "EWS" folders in there from prior times that I had setup my exchange account. Not sure why ... I just deleted them all.
Empty the recycle bin
Reboot the computer
Hide hidden files (not necessary, it's just my preference)
Terminal command: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
Terminal command: killall Finder
Open "system preferences > internet accounts" and setup Exchange account as if it were the first time.
It took a while for all my mailboxes to rebuild and everything to come in, but after the initial sync, Mail 7.0 now works perfectly with my Exchange account including sending mail with file attachments. It's actually a lot quicker to receive and send than the prior version of Mail.
It doesn't seem like a widespread problem, but I hope this at least helps you (eprasek) with your issue. Best of luck!

OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages

.Mail won't send attachments

Since upgrading to OS X 10.7, Mail usually won't send attachments. It does not matter if the attachment is small (~300kb) or larger (~3MB). Mail will try to send it (and if you watch the progress bar in the lower right corner of Mail, you can see that it starts uploading the message), but then it stops. Then I get the message: "Cannot send message using the server..." Occsaionally, attachments will work, but I haven't been able to determine why. This is the case for both my desktop (10.7.2) and my laptop (10.7.3).
The e-mail affected is a g-mail account configured through IMAP. I have verified that I have internet connectivity while experiencing this problem and I can even send other e-mails w/o file attachments. I opened the Connection Doctor and everything logs in/out correctly. The details from Connection Doctor are below.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I am going to try removing the account from mail and then setting it up again to see if it solves the issue.

Mac Mail 7.3 receives but won't send on iMac running OS X 10.9.5

My spouse has an iMac (Intel) running OS X 10.9.5 and Mail 7.3 has suddenly stopped sending email. It receives just fine. I also have an iMac (slightly larger) running the same software and I can send just fine. We are both using comcast.net. I've repaired permissions. Reset the routers and everything, but it still won't work. We can both send from our iPads and iPhones.

OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages

I'm using ipad2 with ios5. My outbox won't send mail. I guess i need an outgoing server and can't find it anywhere.

I'm using ipad2 with ios5. My outbox won't send mail. I guess i need an outgoing server and can't find it anywhere. Any suggestions on how to get it to send. I have tried everything, rebooting, ensuring passwords are correct, etc.

My problem is i don't have an outgoing server spot on my menu. These are my selections. After getting to the menu that where i enter my password for hotmail, i have the following menu choices: Email, then server (bay-m.hotmail.com, then domain (empty), then username, then password, thendescription, then Use SSL, then S/MIME
I don't see or can find an outgoing server choice. My daughter has an ipad2 using Ios4 and she has all the choices that are illustrated on. All the help sites. I only have the ones listed above.

Outbox won't send mail

Had a problem earlier with my email account (Yahoo) being hacked, After resetting password all seemed to be well, but now my iPad won't send mail, it goes into OUTBOX but won't send. Receiving mail is no problem.
I am new to iPad and need a bit of help.
Thanks
John

Brilliant! Thanks Jaimi E.
My iPad did resume 'normal service' after an overnight rest. I did not know that there was an imposed 24hr quarantine, but I do know that all's well now.
I found The BT staff in their technical help desk were good at fixing the original hacking problem on my laptop, but totally helpless at sorting the iPad issues out.
I had to talk to Apple help desk in UK who in turn put me through to the USA. Their consultant was great, but he undoubtedly didn't seem to aware of the quarantine imposed by Yahoo. I will try to get this information through to him for future information
Thanks to all for your assistance.
My message to anyone who reads this topic and has been hacked on Yahoo (or btinternet) is
1 update security passwords on laptop. New password required. Delete all traces of hacked messages (inc failed delivery notices and real people's responses)
2 uninstall your mail settings on iPad and reinstall with new mail password on iPad.
3 the iPad mail system should then receive, but not send mail (goes into Outbox)
4 wait 24 hours then everything will be back to normal.
As a brand new user and about to go on a long holiday, it was a nightmare, but ended up fine!
Now in Singapore at 6am local time, can't sleep so catching up on my machine which functions perfectly!

Mail replies won't send in OS 10.8.3

Replies to mail messages that have a link within the message won't "send" unless I delete the link and any other messages beneath the message I am replying to . Message hangs up in activity window . I've checked with my ISP and all is fine there. My older iMac running OS 10.6.8 mail works flawlessly . What is going on here? New messages "send" o.k. So I'm clueless and bummed about what appears to be some mail glitch on ML.
Also, what is this new "envelope shaped" mail format with the blue border ? Is there some option to change the format back to the regular " letter shaped" mail format ?
Thanks for any help !

So far, no big change, but I have figured out how to circumvent the problem by just deleting anything I'm replying to other than the last message in a group of "back and forth" mail. (if that makes any sense). Its a minor hassle, but I'm not willing to risk messing up things by getting into areas where I'm not comfortable.... like messing with the Library.
I did run Repair Permissions a couple of times after I had tried everything else that was obvious, shut down, unplugged and restarted. I also sent an e-mail to Apple support and told them what I thought about Mail in ML.
It comforts me somewhat to see that there are a lot of folks out there with the same type problems, each with variations on the theme ! :-)
I do appreciate all you suggested. If you come up with any other easy ideas, let me know. You are a good guy to show concern and try to help !
