Mail - Can't Send Mail

When I try to send a message in Mail I get this message
"This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered. The connection to the server "smtp.mac.com" on port 25 timed out."
I've already tried opening the port in my router and firewall but still no luck. What's the problem?

Sometimes an ISP provider blocks one of your incoming
Mail ports and "won't notify you". ( Why? probably it's their protection software )
In my case Comcast blocked my Port 25 and my Outgoing kept bouncing.
Incoming was fine.
Make sure when you change your Port to 587,
You also check "ON" the Secure Sockets Layer box right underneath,
Then change Authentication: to Password
Then enter your name and password
and click OK.
The reps at most of the providers
are useless and won't tell you
the second part of the solution.
It took me 2 days and 4 reps
at Comcast to find this out
and 10 hours of trying to
clean my Mac...
which they will always
blame.
Best of Luck, Tom

The iPad's Mail app has no provisions for creating groups. However, you can use a third party app that many users recommend.

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.

Can't send e-mail on one phone, but can on another

I got two iphones - one for myself and one for my wife. We have a family plan, and I set mine up first and hers second. Amongst the problems:
1. I can receive calls and she can't. The phones were activated at 1830 and 1845 on 6/30. I got the text message that my phone could receive calls at 0915 on 7/1. AT&T help line said her phone could not receive calls because 1) the old phone was still on (actually, both of our old phones were still on), and 2) I had not completed the syncing process by downloading music and photos (contacts had been synced) - I thought this was bull, as did the Apple Geniuses. Needless to say, I've tried their fixes for the above and it still doesn't work.
2. My wife (with a different .mac account) can't send any e-mails from her phone. She gets an error message that her e-mail was refused by the server "Cannot Send Mail - The sender address [email protected] was rejected by the server". We have Comcast ISP. My e-mails get sent from my phone and get through fine. She can view her e-mails in her box, however, they do not load (we get the spinning dashes). This was fixed when we did a soft reboot, but it happened again.
2a - How do I try to re-send the e-mail that is in the Outbox? I can view it, but it won't let me re-send it...
Thanks!

Mail can't send email from 123-reg accounts

Hi all,
I've got an issue with Mac Mail can’t send email from 123-reg accounts.
I know there is a lot of articles on simular matters and some I have tried out with no luck, others are just speaking a whole other language.
Any help would be greatly recived, here's my situation below:
Running a iMac 2.8GHz Intel Core i5 on OS X 10.8.3
I’m using 3 accounts on Macs Mail client, one is my iCloud account that is working fine and the other two are my 123-reg accounts that I use for business purposes. I’ve been working like this for a couple of years now and about 6 months ago I upgrade my operating system from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
2 or 3 months ago I randomly got a problem where I was unable to send any emails from my 123-reg account, I could only receive emails. I checked my settings and they were all correct and unchanged so I attempted to delete them and recreate the account but with no such luck.
I then decided to check if it was a problem at 123-regs end and attempted to log into web mail. This worked and was able to both send and receive emails so eliminated that possibility.
I also have these accounts set up on my iPhone, so checked if there was any issues and everything was working fine. I then checked my iphone details and made sure the same was on my desktop and still no such luck.
I’ve tried out some of the articles I’ve found on here (the ones written in plain English) still no results. I’m not very IT illiterate and just wondered if anyone else has got any ideas, whether there is something specific with 123-reg accounts and Mac Mail?
Many thanks.

Thanks
I just had another hunt around looking at posts and discovered that it was because I recently changed to BT Infinity and they had a block on.
I didn't even think to question the ISP.

Can't send iCloud mail from Outlook 2011

I have recently installed Office 2011 for Mac on my Macbook Pro and I want to set up my iCloud mail on it. I can receive mail just fine but I can't send mail at all. I keep getting error code 17092 saying that the SMTP server doesn't recognize any of the authentication methods supported by Outlook. How can I fix this problem or do I have to just use the native Mail app? Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I was having the same issue. I was able to fix by login into appleid.apple.com and setting my @me as the primary email adress.( Make sure you verify it) The deleted your i cloud account on you Iphone, Ipad or Touch then added it again. You should be able to send email using icloud

How can I send email from my yahoo alias account in iPhone5 mail?

How can I send email from my yahoo alias account in iPhone5 mail?
I have 2 email accounts: [email protected] is an alias of [email protected]
In my old iPhone3 I had these accounts set up so that I could send and receive email from both accounts. I did this using the following settings:
‘Other’ POP account info:
Name: xyz
Address: [email protected]
Description: alias
Incoming mail server:
Host name: pop.mail.yahoo.com
User name: [email protected]
Password: password for yahoo account
Server port: 995
Outgoing mail server:
SMTP: smtp.o2.co.uk (o2 is the name of my phone network)
Server port: 25
‘Yahoo!’ account info:
Name: xyz
Address: [email protected]
Password: password for yahoo account
Description: Yahoo!
Outgoing mail server:
Primary server: Yahoo! SMTP server
Server port: 465
I’ve tried using the same settings in my new iPhone5, but it doesn’t work. I can receive mail to both accounts, and can send from the Yahoo account, but I cannot send mail from the alias account. When I try, it displays the message: “Cannot send mail. A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The recipient ‘[email protected]’ was rejected by the server”.
I’ve tried to configure the POP alias account using combinations of ‘pop.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ and ‘apple.pop.mail.yahoo.com’, for the incoming host, and ‘smtp.o2.co.uk’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com’ and ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the outgoing mail server. None of these have worked.
I’ve also tried setting it up using IMAP instead of POP without success. I tried configuring it using combinations of ‘imap.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘imap.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ and ‘apple.imap.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the incoming mail server and ‘smtp.o2.co.uk’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.com’, ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’, ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com’ and ‘apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk’ for the outgoing mail server.
Yahoo say that if I can't send Yahoo! Mail from my mail program, I may be accessing the Internet through an ISP that is blocking the SMTP port, and that if this is the case, I should try setting the SMTP port number to 587 when sending email via Yahoo!'s SMTP server. I don't think that this is the problem, but I tried it just to make sure - without success.
I’ve also heard that the problem might have something to do with the SPF settings of my alias domain provider. I’m not too sure exactly what SPF settings are, or how to change them, but from what I can gather it seems unlikely that this is the problem given that I was able to send mail from my alias account on my old iPhone3.
Any help much appreciated: how can I get my alias account to send emails in iPhone5 mail?
Many thanks,
Patrick

A new development: I've tried sending emails from the alias several times over the past 24 hours, but in general I've deleted them if they haven't sent within about half an hour.
However, one of the messages I left sitting in the outbox did send successfully in the end, but this took about an hour.
So: perhaps my problem is not in fact that I am completely unable to send mail from my alias, but that I can only do so intermittently and extremely slowly, and by ignoring the "cannot send" message.
Any help appreciated.

Can't Send email from Mail or Entourage

I tried posting this last night, but it doesn't seem to be showing up anywhere. Just last week my computer stopped sending mail. I can receive fine, but not send. I have tried in Entourage and in Mail. I'm using a POP account and use a different server for incoming and outcoming.
It worked fine until last week and the same thing works fine at my work (using the outgoing server from my work and using my home ISP at work) I use my ISP outgoing server at home and have even tried using a trial for MSN, and my work ISP to see if another ISP would do it but it doesn't.
It comes back in Eudora with an error message: "Mail could not be sent using the account "Brian". A connection error occured. Error -3260. Mail says The message could not be appended to the Outbox.
I've tried changing from port 25 as well. I also tried setting up a new user account and starting Mail up new and fresh with the same results. My wife sent something at 9:00 and 1 hour later the problem started, so nothing was installed new at that time. Just upgraded to 10.4.4 today to see if it would help.

I'm not sure how you come to this conclusion. If you
can send mail with any email account and SMTP server
when connected to the internet at work but not when
connected to one of two personal ISPs when connected
to the internet at home, how can this be a computer
or Mail.app problem?
Because I have a different computer at home than the one I have at work. Were you thinking it was the same computer?
If this is a computer or Mail.app problem, don't you
think you would also have problems sending mail when
connected to the internet at work?
Not if the computer at work isn't broken like I assume the computer at home is.
Do you have dial-up internet access at home for both
ISPs?
Both ISPs are dial-up. One is All2Easy (This is the ISP I used first) and one is MSN. A new development is that I can no longer dial up using All2Easy. I get online using MSN. I can still send mail from work using the outgoing mail server of email.all2easy.net though.

Can't send email from my personal pop3 account via my S5. Receives mail fine.

Hi,
I have an S5 that I use to receive email from my personal email account (supplied by Primelink). I can receive email fine, but can't send anything. My SMTP server is mail.wgtest.com using port 465. I am using K9 mail as my email app.
I was told by Primelink that it's a Verizon Wireless issue. Is there any way to respond to my emails from my phone? I can send via my hotmail account, but then my hotmail sent message folder gets filled up and the reply to address always shows up as my hotmail address, not the wgtest.com address.
How can I fix this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Spectre55

Thanks for the reply.
I have tried using three different email apps and keep getting the message that it can't connect to the server. I'm using the smtp address of mail.wgtest.com. As I said, I can receive fine, but Primelink told me that Verizon won't let me send from my primelink account through their system. They said I may have to use an smtp relaying service, which I've never heard of.

Can't send mail since 10.4.6 update

Since updating my OS to 10.4.6 I can't send mail. I can receive mail and I can browse online. But mail will not go out. I've verified all the Outgoing Mail Server info SEVERAL times and have had no luck. I've enabled Entourage to handle mail instead of MacMail and it won't work either. Totally stumped.
Same thing has happened on my iBook G4 laptop by the way. I'm convinced that the update has something to do with this.

INTERNET CONNECTION LOST
so... since the 10.4.6 update once my computers fall asleep the connection to my wireless router is lost. (mail seems to be working ok, when i have an internet connection...)
I have tried multiple things to fix this. Thus far the only solution seems to be resetting the router to use connect back to the internet. Once this is done the internet connection works fine, until lost or the computers go to sleep. When i wake the computer i have to do it all over again... and on top of it the post link is missing on all the pages!!! so i am replying here.
So this time I have rebooted to my external drive with the previous version (10.4.5) to see if indeed it is the 10.4.6 update that seems to have hosed this connection somehow.
HELP please, this is terrible annoying. Is anyone else experiencing this?
thank you.

In my Mail program (4.6), OS10.6.8, can I send bulk email bcc? If so is there a limit to the number of names/addresses that I can send?

In my Mail program (4.6), OS10.6.8, can I send bulk email bcc? If so is there a limit to the number of names/addresses that I can send?

To add the BCC field to the message window, create a new message, click the 'three lines' button near the to and from fields & select the 'BCC Address field' or choose the 'customise' option. This button may be a 'gear' on the older OS (I don't recall for 10.6.8 Mail).
The BCC field is more likely to be limited by the email server than Mail app. If you add hundreds of addresses (or use large groups with many addresses) the email server may assume you are sending spam. Sometimes it causes the server to drop the message or bounce them, different providers also have different rules, so you need to use bcc & ccc with care.
If you plan on doing mass mailing you would be better with a service that handles it correctly for you (i.e. sends multiple messages without using ccc or bcc).

How can we send Error Idocs via mail

Hi,
I have read read through forums and understood that it can be achieved either through workflow or through report using table edidd & edids.
If workflow option is used , does the mail trigger for every error idoc ? How can we send daily error report to user say by EOD containing all error idocs using all possible options.
Regards,
Rachel

Rachel,
I dont think so any direct Report will be available just to get Error IDOCs details. Although you can create a simple report to read the tables. An example is in below link.
http://wiki.scn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/Custom+report+for+IDOC+Monitoring
Also, you can create a Query of EDIDC and EDIDS tables to obatin relevant information.
Thanks,

I can't send emails from Mail. I have three different accounts set up and have the same problem with all. The mail just sits in my outbox. All worked fine until Yosemite upgrade. Recent update has not fixed problem.

How can i send multiple videos and photos, via mail, at the same time?

you allowed to send only one video or 10(+) photos via mail.
but can you send both at the same time? so 10(+) photos and a video (or more than one) in one mail?
because if my mom has birthday pictures or something like that. She likes to be able to send it directly from her iphone to every person she knows in just one mail.
anyone any tips or tricks?

Those restrictions are generally part of the email provider, not just the phone. Attachments are restricted due to size, bandwith use, etc. Trying to send that much information in an email attachment is even restricted on a computer. Sharing via photo sites is generally a better option for large amounts of pictures and large video files.

Can I send an e-mail in Mail and get a receipt when the email is opened?

Can I send an email via Mail and be notified when the email is opened by the recipient? If so, how?

If you click on the person's name, you go to the public profile they have posted. If there is an email address given you can email directly. If not, you cannot email the person directly.
You could post a reply to the persons reply on the communities to note their help.
