Mail cannot be delivered - stays in out tray

I have just been reviewing and testing assembled wisdom on this problem for which there are multiple posts. The two solutions suggested do not work for me (1) My ISP says that SMTP server settings are correctly configured for my account, port 25, no authentication etc (2) I have tried deleting the affected messages and the mail outbox file in Home/library/mail. Neither of these solutions work for me.

OK. You’ve said what the right settings are supposed
to be and what have you tried that didn’t work, but
it isn’t clear at all what the problem actually is...
The problem is as described in the heading of my first post. Pop up appears with text along the lines of "Mail cannot be delivered and will stay in out tray until it's possible to deliver it." I can't send any mail. Mail never leaves the out tray. This is a recent development. Everything was working fine before.

Mail cannot be delivered - Postfix error?

I've just moved my server over to 10.4 from 10.3.9 and in the process am no long able to send or receive mail. I can no long receive emails from outside, or internally. I can connect to the server to send them, but they don't get through to the receiver, whether they are internal or external. It gets queued.
If any one can make sense of the log below that would be great.

Thanks for the info. I can't see why I should change the IP from 192.168.0.1/24 to 192.168.1.0/24, as the range of IP address I use internally is 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.253 ?
Also I've used the 'repair' button, and it either doesn't work, or that's not the problem. It's very frustrating. I have used a great script called mailbfr which has been recommended in a few discussions. This doesn't seem to have resolved anything either ;-(
Thanks for the help.

☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.

How do I get a PDF document put into an attachment form that I can drag to an e-mail. Usually I get an icon showing an spiral note book which then becomes an attachment when I drag it to the e-mail, but occasionally it stays in PDF and prints out on the e-mail. What have I done differently?

Thanks again for the detailed instructions Srini!

Receiving msgs that mail I HAVE NOT GENERATED cannot be delivered. About 15 each day. Is this a virus?

Hi, I have received about 15 email messages a day from " Mail Administrator - Mail System Error Returned Mail" that emails I have not generated, cannot be delivered as the destination computer cannot be found! These emails are in a foreign language, appears to be russian, and I have no clue who/what generates them. It was suggested to me that it could be a virus. I have done three scans and so far nothing malicious has been found. Does anyone know how I can fix/stop these?
Thank you
Chrysi

If this is someone else's windows machine, infected, and with your contact information in their contacts, then there is little if anything you can do. Windows machines can often become infected by mail bots that randomly send mail from the infected computer to people in the contact's database, AND using email addresses found in those contacts to spoof the "from" field in the outgoing mail. When those messages fail, the receiving server bounces them back to you as your email was in the "from" address field.
The only solution would be to disinfect the infected computer, but since you have no idea who (amongst all those with your contact information) is the actual infected computer, you cannot really do anything.

TS4002 Incoming Mail Server cannot be changed; stay "mail.beispiel.de"

Hello,
I am trying to configure iCloud within Apple Mail of Mac OS Mountain Lion.
Basic steps are pretty easy, but two problems arise:
1. Apple Mail is **** slow (irresponsive according to the finder) after editing anything concerning iCloud
2. iCloud IMAP shows the "lightning" sign for not being online.
The Server for incoming E-Mails cannot be changed, it is greyed out.
It just says mail.beispiel.de or (translated) mail.example.com
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help!
Karsten

Same problem here! I have Mail with Mountain Lion since weeks. Yesterday my Trash in Mail disappeared . I deleted my Mail account and tried to reactivate it again. But the IMAP server is greyed, while I read mail.esempio.com (mail.example.com in italian). I can't no more download mails from Mail! More, I can't activate mail from iCloud Preferences Pane.
I believe that all this mess is because of the me.com/icloud.com transition.

I opened my google email account via the MAIL icon and cannot close it or sign out. Can anyone advise how to do this?

How can I close my google email account which I opened via the MAIL icon ?

Just close the Mail app or not, doesn't really matter.
I have a couple of google email accounts in the iPads Mail and the same ones open in the Mac's mail app. I do sign out after using web mail though.. That doesn't have any effect on the iPad or Mac mail apps.

This email cannot be delivered to user@domain because the email address is no longer valid

We have Exchange 2010 and Office 2010 clients. All of our users are experiencing problems when trying to send e-mails to a customer domain. After typing the email address in, a message immediately appears saying: This email cannot be delivered to
user@domain because the email address is no longer valid. If we proceed and send the message anyway, we get the NDR shown below. I have tested from a Hotmail account and the recipient is receiving those mails
fine, the problem is for any user at the recipients domain and from any user at our domain, I have tried using OWA and the same problem so I know it is not the cache. Does any one have any ideas as I have been pulling my hair out ! Thanks.

Hi,
Do you mean your domain users can’t send messages to a specific domain? And users can send other external domain messages well? Also check whether you can receive external messages or not.
Please check whether this destination domain is listed in the accepted domain of your Exchange server(EMC > Organization Configuration > Hub Transport > Accepted Domains). If it is, please remove it from the list. Additionally, since the issue happens
to all domain users, I suggest we can collect any logs in your Exchange server to ask a question in Microsoft Exchange Server forum for more professional suggestions:

All sub-folders in Mac Mail cannot synchronize with Exchange Server 2010

Hi all,
All sub-folders under Inbox in Mac Mail cannot be synchronized with Exchange Server 2010. There are 2GB messages size in Inbox folder and 500MB messages size under Inbox's sub-folders. All messages can be sent out and received and it can work in Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010 normally. However, all messages in sub-folders cannot be synchronized (empty sub-folders).
Does this problem relate to message synchronization order of Mac Mail with Exchange Server? Do all sub-folders messages be synchronized after synchronization complete of Inbox? The synchronization of sub-folders will not happen if the synchronization of Inbox does not complete, doesn't it?
All messages synchronization is over internet. Can anybody help?
Thanks a lot

Hi,
1.please check the mailbox send and receive quota for exchange 2013 migrated mailbox.
2.Please check the email attributes of the exchange 2013 migrated mailbox because it seems to be a problem with that particular mailbox.
3.Then do the message tracking and that would be the only way to find the where the send messages has gone.
4.Please check and confirm you have an enough space on the disk where exchange queue database is residing.
I think I need to create a receive connector in the 2013 to receive from 2010 ?
No need ,by design exchange 2013 cas server default frontend receive connector will be having an
entire ipv4 and ipv6 segment and anonymous connection is checked by default.
I think I also need to create a send and receive connector for 2013 users to each other?
No need , an intra organisation send connector and the default receive connectors in exchange will be used
for internal mail flow between the exchange 2013 users.
Please reply me if you have any queries .
Regards

E-mail not being delivered - AGAIN!!!

This *****!!! You guys are really ruining my e-mail ability...since I do pay for this service!!! Stop blocking my e-mail! I'm really ******!!!!
This is the second week my e-mail has been rejected by the server and I've not been able to finish sending out my mail to people. I organize a class reunion. I e-mail about 200 people once a week. For some reason there was a change to a setting somewhere along the line and 2 weeks ago my mail stopped being delivered. I stated in my last contact that I would switch to a free service that would allow me to send my mail. I don't use all the .Mac services and I can get web space much cheaper.
Either fix this or consider me (a member for 4+ years) cancelled. I don't have time to write to you guys every week about this. Did I mention I was ******?
[email protected]
It's not like I am sending out huge files or something like that. See below.
This is what I am sending.

Bring your kids, spouses and spirit of fun to the afternoon beach time.
You are going to have a great time during the evening. We've got plenty of food available, drinks, music and how many reunions do you know of that have a tower to overlook the entire beach at their disposal?
It's gonna be awesome! And guess what...YOU ARE INVITED!!!
Get your ticket ordered early....save some $$$ and start off your summer right with old friends, fantastic times and new memories.
For a single person it's only $85.00 dollars. If you bring your spouse or date; only $125.00 per couple. And heck, if you've got anyone else you'd like to bring it's only $45.00 for each additional person. You can't beat it for an awesome time.

Parsing through your rant which isn't directed at Apple, it seems you might be exceeding the sending limits included with a .Mac account which are not extreme by any means so take a deep breath and calm down.
All internet service providers and email account providers (even free ones) have sending limits or restrictions for non-business/personal email accounts.
These restrictions are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from an ISP's or email account provider's domain. In case you aren't aware, spammers make use of bulk spam mailings and these restrictions make it more difficult for a spammer to do his thing.
It makes no difference that you aren't a spammer or the content of your message is not spam since there is no way an ISP or email account provider can make this determination when you send a message but they can impose sending limits or restrictions.
Copied from the following link.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25301
.Mac has several safeguards in place to ensure that only .Mac members send messages with the Mac.com outgoing mail server. Among them are reasonable limitations on:
* The number of messages that can be sent each day (200 messages)
* The number of recipients that can be sent to each day (400 recipients)
* The number of recipients a message can be addressed to at one time (100 recipients)
* The size of outgoing messages
There is also a 10 MB maximum size for messages sent or received using the .Mac mail system.
.Mac Email has been designed primarily for personal use. Sending unsolicited bulk email messages through the .Mac email server is prohibited.
If your message is being rejected by a recipient's incoming mail server, what is the return email error message provided which is sent by the recipient's incoming mail server?
Regardless, this problem is with the recipient's email account provider. If the return email error message from the recipient's incoming mail server indicates the recipient has exceeded their allocated server storage space, this the recipient's problem.
So instead of ranting, how about providing more detailed information about the error message provided so someone here can help narrow down where the problem lies so you can direct your efforts there.
IMO - since you use your .Mac account for email only, you should cancel your account but keep in mind that even a "free" service includes sending restrictions which may not be identical to .Mac account restrictions but none are restriction free.

"Mail cannot access your mailbox information because it's already in use. Rebuild Mailbox information Quit" Both quits Mail.

After installing Yosemite, my Mail stops working after about 20-30 seconds when this Dialog Box pops up, freezes Mail and says:
"Mail cannot access your mailbox information because it’s already in use.
Another application on your computer or on your local network is using your mailbox information. Click Quit to quit Mail. Then log out of this computer and any other computer you’re using. After you log in again, open Mail on one computer only.
If this message reappears, there may be a network server problem. Contact your system administrator to determine if it can be resolved by rebuilding your mailbox information. Then click Rebuild Mailbox Information.
If this message reappears, there may be a network server problem. Contact your system administrator to determine if it can be resolved by rebuilding your mailbox information. Then click Rebuild Mailbox Information.
Rebuild Mailbox information Quit"
Clicking on either one quits Mail. I am receiving my emails. I can even send my self a test email and receive it before it freezes up in 20-30 seconds. My ISP thinks it's a "Kernal" software problem.
Through advice by a friend, I have tried:
Applications - Utililities - Disk Utilities - and selected my hard drive and then click Repair Permissions
Rebooted a bunch of times. The first time Repair Permissions printed a few pages of stuff. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th times, it printed out this:
Repairing permissions for “Macintosh HD”User differs on “private/var/db/displaypolicyd”; should be 0; user is 244.Group differs on “private/var/db/displaypolicyd”; should be 0; group is 244.Repaired “private/var/db/displaypolicyd”
Permissions repair complete
But I still have the same problem I stated the the beginning of this:(
Any more advice?

I have the exact same issue, just after installing Yosemite. Please advise

Mountain Lion Mail cannot search for non-alpha characters in Subject Lines

Under 10.8.3, Mail 6.3 often cannot successfully find messages if the search string contains a non-alpha character.
I have only tested this searching for Subject lines that are KNOWN to contain non-alpha characters
Specfic examples:
Subject starts with "[ABC..."
Mail cannot find it if you search using "[ABC"
Mail CAN find it if you search using just "ABC"
Subject contains the numeral "2"
Mail cannont find it if you enter "2" as the search string...even if you further constrain the search to "Subject contains: 2"
Other problem characters I have found:
The failure when using square bracket is a real pain since a lot of mailing lists are tagged using strings wrapped in square brackets.
Sometimes it WORKS when I include multiple non-alpha characters in the search string, like "55" or "4/19"
Anyone else see this?

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

TPVS Optimizer error: "orders cannot be delivered"

When executing TPVS Optimizer the optimization comes out with a high number of orders "that cannot be delivered". This is an initial message that appears just before it starts the capacity check.
At the log register this message is showed as green.
In fact that is not a problem of capacity or resource availability as when I filter only that specifics orders that weren't schedule before, the Optimizer is able to delivery any order.
I suspect that somehow this orders are "stucked" as dirty in some internal table, due to previous optimizations. In other tests when I copied the resources (load and vehicle) and set the new resource to the Optimization Profile, the orders where delivered. But this artifice is not working anymore.
I've already opened an OSS for SAP but they answered with Note 847234 that indicates a SCM Optimization Consulting service from SAP.

Hi Sandeep!
Thanks a lot for your answer, it was very helpfull.
I've tried VSCC and system consistency check. I also had sufficient vehicles available for the optimizer to plan the shipments.
Actually I was able to schedule all orders again after creating new resources** as copies from the original ones and assigning them to the model.
**Vehicles and loading resources - outbound at the shipping point and inbound at customers, delivery point
As I said, this problem had happened before and at the next time it occurs I will try to use transaction SM12.
I'll let you know the result.
Best Regards,
Marina Carvalho
