Mail 6.2 won't send my mail???

I think mail just up graded and now it won't send my mail. What is wrong? What can I do. I have check my password and reentered it but it doesn't work.

I've got the identical problem! Can't send but can receive new incoming mail.
When I first installed OS 10.6 several months ago Send worked just fine but after several more months send function stopped working.
I had the same problem with Mail app in OS10.5.8.....after many months of working without issue it eventually stopped. Receive also eventually stopped working in Leopard.
Just as in OS 10.5.8., in 10.6.8 I keep getting the notification that my email password is not accepted as valid.
Was valid and accepted earlier but no longer.
The consensus seems to be that Mail app is not totally reliable.

Iphone 4 won't send e-mails via aol

My iphone 4 won't send e-mails from my aol account.
i have updated to the latest software which has made no difference, it wasn't working on the previous software.
I have removed and installed my aol account again, switched wi-fi on and off and nothing that I have read on other posts seems to work.
Does anyone have any other ideas, very frustrated!!

I am having the SAME problem. It is driving me nuts. Did you fix it?

IPhone won't send outgoing mail since upgrade to 5.0

iPhone won't send outgoing mail since upgrade to 5.0

I would manually go over each smtp setting and compare it with the mail providers guide
and if they were 100% the same then I would
get in touch with the phone company to verify if they were blocking the ports being
used by the mail service
there is no general issue with ios5 removing out going mail services or blocking ports

Look at Mail / Accounts, then choose the Account icon. See if the Outgoing server box is set to the correct entry for each of your accounts.

My Mail won't send e-mails.

Seems to be since the last Lion update? Was working fine and I haven't changed anything. Still receives, but won't send. I did double check the account, but it seems to be right. I did connection doctor- it shows 2 accounts (same name) though I only have one?? One connects and the other doesn't. Help...

Becky,
Check your smtp server and check if your password is added. After ungrading Mail might have lost the password.

Mac Mail won't send .mac mail

All of a sudden Mac Mail won't send mail from my .mac account through it's mail server even though the MobileMe sends mail just fine.
Anyone know what may be up?
I hate using the mobile me mail.

I experienced the same problem--unable to SEND mail using MobileMe server. Changed to port 587, now seems to work (cross fingers).
I also noticed that I cannot change the incoming mail server name from "mail.mac.com" to "mail.me.com." When I try to change then save, it reverts to "mail.mac.com."
By the way, under the "Advanced" menu, can anyone explain "IMAP Path Prefix"? It's blank by default, I gather. Why might someone use a prefix here? Also the default port is 143 and the "Use SSL" block is unchecked.
Merely curious.

My imac's mail programme won't send my mail!

The imac has my hotmail linked to it, and has never had any problems but suddenly it won't send mail. It says it timed out when connecting to live.com. I have tried reinstalling the hotmail account but it didn't fix it. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this? My iphone is working fine with the account and it also works with hotmail over the internet. I am stumped!

I've had exactly the same issue over the past couple of days and this fix has just worked for me (thanks untzy) but I guess it hinges on you being with BT.
1. Login to your BT home hub manager (this can be done using the router address located at: system preferences/network/advanced/TCP/IP)
2. Input your router address into the web browser search bar
3. Once on the access page you will need to input your wireless admin password (found on the back of your router)
4. When you are on the home page, you will need to follow the following steps to change your device name:
5. Select "A-Z" in the top right section of the page
6. Click on "Home Network" from the available list of options
7. Click on the Device in question (it should be showing as connected - I identified mine by the mac address, although it was named as 'unknown')
8. Under Device Information, enter a new name (be sure this is memorable in case you need it again)
9. Ensure Always use this address is set to Yes (it is by default)
10. Click Apply.
You will then need to restart your computer - after this, hopefully the problem will be resolved....

Mail won't send and mail disappears

When I receive emails they sometimes disappear before I can open them. Not all of them, just some. This happens most obviously when I use my iPhone to access mail. Now, sometimes when I write an email it disappears when I hit "send". When they disappear they're gone. Not in the trash, not in the junk. What's going on?

Rudegar
I probably phrased my question wrong.....I just meant I use imap verses pop.
When I go into SMTP settings, it has "optional" password, which is supposed to solve the issue
with not being able to send emails, but no matter how many times I enter it and save the settings, it's gone when I go back in (because the emails still won't send).
And other ideas?

Mail 4.1 incorrect "sending from" settings, won't send SMTP mail

I've noted quite a few others reporting 10.6.1 SMTP mail problems, but I haven't seen my specific issue noted elsewhere.
I've been able to send using my IMAP AOL address via Mail and longtime SMTP settings until today. Now, Mail apparently is scrambling outgoing email addresses and mismatching them with the outgoing SMTP settings. For instance:
Using AOL address example [email protected] (showing correctly in the "From" window), the email will not send. The "cannot sent message using the server 'LG'..." dialogue comes up with the options to edit the SMTP server list or use the Connection Doctor. (All Connection Doctor reports coming back green, so the trouble's not there.)
Looking a little closer at the dialogue box, though, it says Mail thinks the outgoing message is being sent from an entirely separate email address. In a couple of tests, the incorrect "sending from" address changes - one time it was a different AOL account, the next was an entirely separate .edu account. Wish I could attach a screenshot, but the bottomline is: I can see the "From" field showing the [email protected] address, but the error message about reconciling the outgoing server settings shows "Sending from: My Name <[email protected]>"
Whatever the issue is, it is apparently not affecting (so far) my IMAP personal domain or IMAP gmail accounts - they're both sending and receiving normally.
So Mail apparently is trying to send AOL account mail, but it's not finding the correct SMTP connection because somewhere along the way it's shifted the "sending from" to a different account.
Any thoughts?

I've been using Mail app with AOL accounts and the current settings for years with no trouble. This is new.
I still think it's a Mail app issue - it's clearly showing in the error message a different "Sending from" account from the one that's actually selected and showing in the "From" window of the email message. It's as though Mail is trying to apply the existing SMTP settings for an erroneous account to the outgoing message. It's either trying to send [email protected] mail with YY.aol.com SMTP settings or vice versa.
I'd be open to re-creating the AOL IMPAP accounts if I could avoid losing years worth of sent and received messages. I have everything backed up with Time Machine, but I've had very erratic email recovery issues with it since Snow Leopard too.

I assume it was working fine before the upgrade? Did you double-check the settings?

The error message says that you don't have an outgoing mail server selected. Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and select the gmail account in the left hand panel. Next go to "Outgoing Mail Server" :
It should read smtp.gmail.com if you are using pop. If it is blank click on it and it should display whatever outgoing servers you have configured. If the only option you have is to "Edit SMTP Server List" then you need to enter the information as shown below.
These are the standard settings for gmail pop:
You will also need to set password authentication on your outgoing (SMTP) mail as shown below:

Mail receives but won't send. Upgrade to Lion hasn't helped

Mail can send messages but is not receiving any.

Hi, once you have all the correct outgoing server and incoming server settings check your router.
I had the same issue and tried many times to change the settings in mail and still couldn't send.
View the router settings and check the devices, if your Macbook is listed as Unknown xx-xx-xx change its name to a single word e.g Macbook.
Go back to mail if it still doesn't work remove the account and add back.
This worked first time for me

Mail client won't send .Mac mail

Hi all,
Hope you can help. I'm suddenly having problems sending outgoing messages via the Mail client in 10.3.9. Mails go into the outbox and then a few mins later I get a prompt box stating:
+"This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.+
+The SMTP server “smtp.mac.com” doesn’t support authentication. Please check your account settings and try again."+
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Hello Michael
I think there might be a problem with the dot mac server. There are others experiencing the same problem posting at the .Mac forum.
As For your Mail's complaint that the server cannot use authorization, well, the dot mac server does use it, so that message is rather odd.
Try again later and it may be working.
