Mail attachments not sending when connection slow

I have a user with 7.04 on company iPhone. Exchange account set up through mail.
He is trying to send pictures from the phone to his own email account, the building he works in doesn't have a good signal(no wireless there either). He will select a picture to send, and it either won't ever show up or it will show up days later (even when selecting a small size).
I tested the phone in a area with a good signal, it was able to send pictures at full size relatively quickly. So it's obvious without a slow connection the mail program is working - but I'm curious if there is an app or a setting I can change that will reliably email the photo's even with a slow connection, even if it takes a while. It seems like the mail is failing, but he isn't getting any delivery failure message.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Without a good connection, you won't be able to send anything.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

My e-mails are not sending. "connection to SMTP server timed out." How do I get this working?

As of yesterday, I am receiving e-mails fine; however, unable to send. Everytime I try to send an e-mail, I get "Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to SMTP server (my mail address) timed out. Try again or contact your network administrator.
I received help from lunarpages (they host my domain); however, they were unable to resolve the issue. They suggested something is blocking IP, or need to update Thunderbird, or there's a firewall there...
Help!!!
My clients are waiting for responses to e-mails!
Thank you.

To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try one of the following:
*Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.
*Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection. Click on your operating system for instructions on how to start in safe mode: [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode Windows 8], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7 Windows 7], [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-vista Windows Vista], [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/boot_failsafe.mspx?mfr=true" Windows XP], [http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564 OSX]

Mail does not send when abroad

I am having problems sending mail from my Macbook Pro when abroad. The system works fine when in the UK but not when i am connected to wifi abroad. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Should I deselect that so that another server can be used? John
You can do that, but you should know another SMTP server to put in there, that works independently from wherever you find yourself in the world.

Mail will not send when i am away from home

When I am wirelessly connected and successfully receiving Mail email, I still cannot send messages from Mail, as it requires "authentication". I have "Ping-ed" it and everything seems fine there. It even seems here I have access open to the local smtp.comcast.net. (At home I have comcast, too.) I also tried setting the port from 25 to I think it was 587, as suggested in someone else's posting.
Please share your wisdom!
Thank you.

All internet service providers have restrictions on using an SMTP server that is outside of their network or that isn't provided by the ISP used for connecting to the internet.
Is this email account provided by your ISP - Comcast?
If so and you happen to be connected to the internet via Comcast when away from home, you shouldn't have any problems sending messages with your Comcast email account and SMTP server.
If not connected to the internet via Comcast when away from home, the required settings are determined by the ISP used for connecting to the internet.
The ISP used by a hotel/motel may not have such a restriction for registered guests who are usually given a password for provided internet access when checking in.
Most Airports with WiFi access require a payment for internet access and the same at a Starbucks for example but some non-chain coffee shops provide free WiFi internet access and the same for some restaurant chains but this doesn't mean the internet service provider doesn't impose restrictions on using an SMTP server that is outside of their network.
Long story short, you need to know the ISP's SMTP server restrictions or required settings when using an ISP for internet access other than your own.

Mail attachments not available when sent

Attaching files in Mail, either by drag and drop, or using the "Attach" button on the "New Message" window, seems to work on the iMac, but when the files are sent and opened in Outlook Express on Windows XP, or online (Gmail) with a browser, only a thumbnail shows up. A reply for that message, coming from a Windows machine, contains the attachment as would have been expected. This problem occurs on two iMacs using the same operating system. Both are set to send emails as Windows-friendly attachments, and both have been updated to the latest version. Using thunderbird causes no such problems. Anyone else having the problem?

It's the way Mac Mail is designed, it embeds images and attachments rather then actually attaching them.
What you can do however is have a look at Attachment Tamer, it changes the default behaviour of mail to attach rather then embed which i think is what you're looking for.

Mail does not send when several accounts active

Hi,
Finally I got Tiger, as I had to have Google Earth for Mac (another story anyway) that only runs on Tiger.
Of course several things stopped working like PHP local, Postfix, and so on. These were remedied (but the new .conf files had a strange date, well, again, another story).
Now I am a bit stuck on the following problem :
I cannot anymore sent mail when I have several mail accounts configured. (I can when there is only one).
At first I thought it was SpamSieve, but it seems not, as I have removed it (it does not run and the plugin is gone). Then I rechecked my Postfix cf files, but they're ok and I send mail from localhost when using Thunderbird where several accounts are set up.
It does not matter whether I use localhost or any of the smtp servers I can use, and when beginning a new message, I cannot use the popup which lets me choose an originating account. Neither can I write anything in the message content box.
Of course I checked everything in the Preferences dialogs.
Well, well. Any hints ?

It turns out I cannot eliminate Spamsieve as a possible culprit.
I have erased all accounts (rm /Users/myUID/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist) and SpamSieve plugin (rm -r /Users/myUID/Library/Mail/Bundles/Spamsieve*)
Then I reconstructed 5 accounts using the wizard (File->Add account) rather than reimporting from a saved plist or building from the prefs panel (seems that does not work and using the wizard at least to name the accounts is required).
Then I test the send button and it works on all accounts.
Then I reinstall SpamSieve which breaks sending mail on all accounts.
I am back with operational accounts and no SpamSieve.
I cannot explain this, I just observe.
Any idea ? Anyone made similar observations ?
I'd like to put SpamSieve back on, it is efficient.
Note : perms are fixed, caches lean, periodic tasks have run.

Mail will not send from any of my accounts & connection doctor indicates that I am connected

When did this start?
What specifically happens when you try to send Mail?
Are you able to receive mail from all of the accounts? any of the accounts?
Are all the email accounts with the same provider?
In Console > All messages search on Mail and see if there are any error messages

Sorry for the delay...
I did what you've told me, new account and manually copied my files from Time Machine. I had lots of permissions problems, but at the end, almost everything is in order... It seems it had to be with some of the Apple Preferences, but I can't be sure, as most of them were dumped to the trash can.
I still don't have my Mail Rules back, unfortunately, although I did goggled some. It is a pity, as I had around 30 or 40 of them, getting my mail in order to each of its mailboxes, but it is a small price as the rest doesn't show the before syntoms.
Thanks for the help, anyway!!

Mail will not send

Hi, I've had my iMac some time now but have only just set up the 'mail' option. I have definitely put in all of the correct details for all of my email accounts. I am able to receive email but it just will not send out any emails - from any of my 5 email accounts!
When I check the mail connection all is green (except for one of the outgoing servers for one particular email account). So why will it not send from the other outgoing server when it is green?! I use an iPhone and an iPad and my mail on those is fine (using exactly the same settings).
I have updated the software (as recommended by Apple for this particular problem) but it has made no difference. Every time I try to send it says 'Mail will not send with server...'
It's driving me crazy! Please help! Thanks.

This may not help, but a few months ago I was trying to send a message to members of my professional organization, but kept getting a similar message. I exchanged correspondence with Tech Help at my server to no avail. I thought the problem might have to do with the quantity of receoients, so I started deleting a few at a time from the list and resending. All of a sudden, it worked!
I finally narrowed it down to one address that had been preventing the message from going out. After I deleted and exactly retyped the address, I never had another problem. Never understood what had happened.
iMac 2 GHz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 2 Gig RAM

Mail won't send but Connection Doctor says smtp account OK.

Mail won't send but Connection Doctor says smtp account OK.
I can receive mail but can't send it from Mail 3.5. Same problem on a wired G5 and on a wi-fi MacBook (using the same account), so not hardware related. Worked fine 'till today - I didn't change anything in between times. Incoming mail no problem. Tried mail rebuild, keychain first aid, deleting the account, repair disk permission - doesn't help.
Mail's connection doctor says "smpt.xxxxxx - connection to server succeeded, no login required."
Anybody any ideas? Thanks, N

Been having the same problem for a few weeks now. This has been working just fine, and all of a sudden - nothing. The update to 10.5.6 didn't do anything to fix this either.
I've spent numerous hours on the phone with the Apple support. Seeing as the two other accounts that I have configured work with no problem, they say that this is a problem with the provider which is also the ISP. I then called the support line for the ISP and informed them of this and they say that it's a problem with the software.
Interestingly, if I send a message to somone with the same ISP, the message will go. But I can't send a message outside of the provider. Does anyone else have this problem?
Also, from another forum, they suggested rebuilding the LaunchServices database. The Apple support didn't see what that would do. But I tried it anyway and the problem still exists.
Another intesting thing is certificates. It's only happened twice, but I've received the message saying that Mail can't verify the certificate XXXXX which validates the identity of the smtp. Anyone else get this? I thought perhaps I could delete the certificate and it would magically reappear. But when I go into KeyChain, the certificate is listed only under System Root and I can't delete it.
ideas?
