Mail can't send/receive but Eudora works fine

After reading through many of the threads here and changing my preferences in every conceivable way (SSL, authentication, advanced settings etc) I still can't get Mail to send or receive mail.
However, when I opened my old Eudora, my e-mails came through lightning fast.
Any ideas why this might be happening? I'd prefer to use Mail but will use Eudora if necessary.

Create a new user account on your Mac with the same permissions as your existing one and start Mail. Configure your email address and see if it works. If it does then you might have a corrupted Mail Property List file on your normal user account.
Log out and log back in to your normal user account and move the file com.apple.Mail.plist from within folder <home>/Library/Preferences to the desktop and then re-start Mail.
It will launch as if it has never been configured before so create your primary email account and see if that now works.

  • Lion Mail can't send/receive and requiring Force Quit.

    After Lion 10.7 , Mail Version 5.0 (1244.2/1244.3) can't send or receive (to smtp or pop servers) as usual with Snow Leopard. In addiction, Mail seems hanged and is not quitting graciously... requiring Force Quit.
    Today I noted a lot of users reporting Mail problems after Lion, and Apple site says there was only a minor changes at Mail authentication methods. I tried everything they said... and everything communities said. Nothing works. 
    Is Apple really working on Mail reported problems ?

    I get emails with my sbcglobal and ymail but i cannot send any email!! this is getting very annoying.  It used to work just fine on snow leopard. I even tried using the same setup that I have on my iPhone, same smtp etc and nothing seems to work...

  • Users can't send/receive, but are connected to Exchange Server

    Greetings,
    For some reason (happened this morning), none of my users (who are a mixture of Outlook 2010 PC and Outlook 2011 Mac) can send/receive email as quickly as usual (if at all).  Exchange server is 2010.
    Both clients are connected to the Exchange server successfully.  Sending an email usually takes (if it even goes at all) 10-20 minutes.  If I send an email from my Gmail account, again it take about 20 minutes to finally get to Outlook.
    Exchange server is not running any virus software.  On my Outlook client for instance (2010 PC), it's stuck on Updating Inbox indefinitely.
    No changes have been made to the LAN (and no other servers are having connection issues) or WAN.  I have run performance troubleshooting on the Exchange server, and all seems fine.  I have checked event viewer on both the Exchange server as well
    as the DC and DNS server (they are one and the same).  I've rebooted the DC, DNS and Exchange servers.
    Arrrrggggg!!  
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Hi,
    According to your description, both your Exchange accounts and Gmail account have the mail delay issue.
    Thus, I'd like to confirm the following information to narrow down the cause:
    1. Do your external users also come across the issue? Because this may be related to Network issue.
    2. Does the issue happens randomly or regularly?
    And I also recommend you use Performance Monitor to check the issue as Ed said.
    If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.
    Thanks,

  • When I set up my mail I could send emails now a day later I can not send them but can still receive them ... I can't see what is wrong .. Any answers .

    It's not a good idea to use a network disk for both Time Machine backups and other things.  By design Time Machine will eventually consume all the space on its output disk, which will then cause problem for your other files.  I'd store those other files on an external disk connected to the Time Capsule.  The problem with that is that Time Machine will only back up files that are local to your Mac.  That means that you'll only have one copy of the files on or attached to your Time Capsule.
    By the way, you've been misled by poor field labeling on this forum into typing a large part of your message into the field intended for the subject.  In the future just type a short summary of your post into that field and type the whole message into the field below that.

  • Why is my texting using data? When I have data turned off I can't send/receive. Texting is "unlimited" but it's using up all my data- help!

    Why is my texting using data? When I have data turned off I can't send/receive. Texting is "unlimited" but it's using up all my data- help!

    Texting longer text messages or any media (pictures/video/sound etc) being sent requires data to be active. However, it does not count against your data caps.
    Since you have an iPhone, you must also be aware of the difference between iMessage and SMS Text messages. The iPhone, by default, will send an iMessage when sending another text message to anyone else with an iPhone, iTouch, or iPad. This does use your data if you are not connected to wifi. In Settings, you can turn iMessage off, and then all of your texts will go through Verizon.
    Also understand- iMessage will use wifi when connected to wifi, but would need cellular data connection to work when not connected to wifi. Regular SMS text messages that are long or any media will always use the cellular data and not wifi, so will not send if cellular data is turned off, even if on wifi. However, this does not count against your cap.

  • I can't send/receive any message/call but I can connect to the internet. What's wrong?

    I can't send/receive any message/call but I can connect to the internet. What's wrong?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • I can't send messages but I can receive them

    I can't send messages but I can receive them, is it an iOS 7.0.3 issue or Verizon Wireless? Also not receiving data

    5. If your SIM card has SIM PIN enabled, try toggling it off: Tap Settings > Phone > SIM PIN.
    6. Try another location. If a different location works, but the original location still does not, contact your carrier to report the issue.
    7. Reset network settings: Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    8. Restore the iPhone as new.
    9. Contact your carrier to:
              - Verify that the iPhone is properly set up on the account with the appropriate, current data plan.
              - Verify that there are no account-related blocks.
              - Find out if there are specific error messages in the carrier logs that could help determine why the issue is occurring.
    If none of the above steps resolves the issue, contact your carrier, make an appointment at an Apple Retail Store, or contact AppleCare to troubleshoot further.
    Thanks,

  • Moved to a new house and now i can't send emails but i can receive them

    I just moved to a new house and now i can not send emails but i can receive them...

    New houses can do that. 
    We need more info - what email service is this issue about.  Do you use several (gmail, yahoo, icloud,...) and is this issue the same for all?  If you also use a computer or other device, is this issue common to them all?

  • 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.

  • My mail outbox wont go online.  Inboxes work fine.  Just upgraded my old iMac to OS 10.6.8, kept my internet provider, entered all the same numbers and settings so can't figure out why mail won't go out.  Help.  S.T.

    My eMail outbox won't go online.  I can't send eMail messages but I am currently receiving my messages.
    Just upgraded my older iMac to 10.6.8 but kept the same eMail addresses (Google), the same provider (Cricket Broadband), and entered all the same settings in Mail Preferences and Accounts as before.
    Any suggestions as how to get my outbox online so I can send mail?
    ST

    Hello,
    Who is your eMail provider, the part after the @ sign?
    In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
    Then click the Show Details button & Check again.
    Mail: Can't send messages, "Cannot send message using the server smtp.xxxxx.com" alert appears...
    old: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1482
    What SMTP setting do you have for gMail?
    Did you get rid of any old passwords in Keychain Access?

  • Mail Can't Send To "NULL"

    After adding an iPhone to my setup, suddenly Mail has decided not to send on the first try from certain accounts. I get a long message that basically says "Mail can't send from account 'NULL', select another server". So I click edit and re-send and the mail goes out fine on the original server that had been specified – I do not select another server as the dialogue box suggests.
    Is there anyway to fix this so I don't have to send every e-mail twice?

    Hey Woodwyn.
    I'm having the same exact problem.
    It's been happening for a while(several years), but lately, it's been doing it more often.
    I repaired permissions, and all that stuff.
    My computer is a lap top, and when I take it to work, the Mail program does the same thing.
    I don't select a different server. It's already set to the correct server. Why should I change it?
    And my network setting are fine. I haven't changed them, so why should I even check them?
    Anyway, I have to click "send" 4 or 5 times, in order for my e-mails to send.
    The error message says exactly this:
    "Cannot send message using the server (null)
    The server response was: From: address not verified; see http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/manage/sendfrom-07.html
    Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server. All messages will use this server until you quit Mail or change your network settings."
    Very frustrated right now.
