Mail doesn't send emails after Leopard upgrade!

Hi everyone..
I am wondering if anybody is facing this as well..
Since I upgraded to Leopard, and Mail retrieves both of my emails on Gmail and .Mac inboxes very well and stable.. But, when it comes to sending, it doesn't.
It keeps on taking forever to finally give me this error "The connection to the server “smtp.mac.com” on port 25 timed out" and of course, I have checked everything the error told me, and no it's not my fault. I thought .Mac mail servers are down, but, no.. My outbox mail lies there for about three days now and no clue how could I help mail succeed sending them.
If somebody faced similar problem, and might have a solution for it, please help.
Thank you.
Mark

When I try to delete an e-mail . . .
Error message is as follows:
"The IMAP command “UID COPY” (to Deleted Messages) failed for the mailbox “INBOX” with server error: Error in IMAP command received by server.."
This is my first Leopard bug. The Mail program cannot delete messages using IMAP. Mail worked fine using Tiger, so that is lame. Now I have to use Webmail to actually delete a message. Any thoughts?

Mail doesn't send emails

I have two accounts. Mail suddenly stops sending emails though i can receive emails from that account. I checked the email server and it is absolutely working fine. It throws an error and asks me for my password again and again. Whats weird is that this happens at random intervals. Can someone help me out.

Try deleting the password in Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access.
Try running Keychain First Aid.

Why can't I send emails after iOS5 upgrade of iPhone 3GS?

Having upgraded to iOS5, my iPhone 3GS will receive but will no longer send emails. The error message says that it cannot send mail because the recipient [named] was rejected by the server. This happens whether I am trying to reply to an incoming message or create one afresh. Help please.

If anyone picks up this question, I later found the answer at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3400398?start=0&tstart=0 - a thread I failed to find when I first searched.

Mail will not send emails after security update

Hello,
I am having trouble now sending email - like many others aparently. I receive a message when trying to send mail:
- a dialog box requests the authentication password for the smtp server
When entering the correct password it simply repeats. I have had no trouble up to this point. I can log into both accounts via the web using the correct password.
I am having this problem
- on a BT Internet account,
- and my Yahoo account as well,
both of which I use on Mail for business.
Please help?!
Best, Jeff

Question answered in another string - British Telecom changed outgoing servers for me and things seem to be working again - fault is a mystery though. Sorry I cannot help others in this strange situation.

Can't send email after 3.0 upgrade

I can receive but not send email after the 3.0 upgrade. Also, the stock and weather buttons never update.
Email is my important issue. Any ideas?

Yeah, I put that in the title so hopefully people would see it right off the bat. I've been in the forum, looking at threads since the update to see if I'm the only one, and seem to be. I know tons of people are seeing problems with yahoo pushing email, but that's less of a concern to me at this point. And the fact that it worked just fine until this update tells me Apple broke it with their update. Surely I'm not the only person. And switching to gmail is not a good option for me. First of all, I hate gmail. Second of all, the sbcglobal account is my main mail account for my dsl line and I use it heavily. I don't want to switch. Shouldn't have to in my opinion.
I was in the Promenade in Santa Monica earlier, was going to ask a "Genius", but the wait to see one was ridiculous. couldn't get an appointment till Monday. I'll wait till I'm back home to go the apple store I guess. It just frustrates me because I seriously doubt they can do anything at the store I haven't done already.

How can I request a return receipt when sending email from Leopard Mail?

Has anyone found a way to request return receipts when sending email with Leopard Mail?

see this [link|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7244096&#7244096].
However,
this is only possible if the email client of the e-mail receiver supports this feature and it is turned on. if it doesn't support it or it supports it but the feature is turned off there is absolutely nothing you can do.

CF mail server doesn't send emails

Hi everyone,
we are running a CF 4.5 server in our company. the CFMail
doesn't send emails since last week. the emails are in the queue.
the server IP is correct, we restarted it a few times, nothing
helped.
Does anyone have any idea about possible problems?
thanks in advance.

I've seen other posts that indicate sometimes an email
message can cause
a log jam. It can't be sent for some goodness only knows
reason and
then causes the process to abort piling up messages behind
it.
What happens if you remove the first (or first few) messages
in the que?

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 not send emails after ML update

I am unable to send emails after updating to Mountain Lion. Four email accounts, same problem: All settings are unchanged, but SMTP servers for outgoing mail are set as passive. No problem with incoming emails. Any suggestions?

I thought they might be. Apple seems to forget about POP accounts, and most problems seem to occur in them.
Do you have a backup before upgrading?
Did Mail go through the upgrade process the first time you opened Mail after the installation? Sounds like something may have gone wrong.
All mail accounts and emails are stored in you user/Library/Mail/V2 folder. If you have a time machine backup, just restore that V2 folder from before the upgrade (close Mail first) and see if that fixes the problem.
To see your Library folder, click on the desktop to make it active, then go to the menu at the top, select Go, then Go to Folder and type or copy and paste
~/Library
Then go to the Mail folder and open it and click on Time Machine - restore the V2 folder from before the backup

Mail does not send email

My problem is simply that Mail does not send email.
I have just migrated from iMac G5 to iMac Intel by using Migration Assistant. Everything else works just fine and I can receive email. However, if I try to reply, forward or send a new email message, Mail just does not do anything - no error message, nothing.
The fixes I have tried so far are removing the Mail plist file, repairing disk permissions and mailboxes. Of course, I have checked the account settings, especially outgoing server settings. I also reinstalled Mail application with Pacifist. None of this has solved the problem. I have tried sending email with Thunderbird and it works with no problems.
Does anybody have any suggestions how to fix this issue?
The OS is 10.4.8, Mail Version 2.0.6 (749.2/752.3), all the suggested software updates done.
iMac Core Duo 20" 2GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Reinstalling Mail is rarely necessary or appropriate to solve a problem. It certainly cannot fix anything that could be wrong within your home folder or at the server or with the network, and may even introduce new issues if not done properly. Moreover, in Mac OS X 10.4 you don’t need Pacifist to reinstall Mail, you could also do it as described in the following article:
Custom installs in Mac OS X 10.4
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, if the version of the system software on your install disks is earlier than what you’re using now (and only in that case), then you must also reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, to bring Mail back in sync with the rest of the system:
About the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for PPC
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for Intel
The above won’t solve the problem. It’s just to ensure that you’ve properly reinstalled Mail, which you shouldn’t have done, and which apparently you didn’t do properly -- the version of Mail on your system should be 2.1.1, not 2.0.6.
The original problem could be caused by some Launch Services cache or preferences corruption. The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services -- the notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved:
Resetting Launch Services
If you prefer using a cache cleaning utility instead of following the manual procedure described in the previous article, this other article provides links to some utilities that can be used for troubleshooting and cache cleaning:
Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
It seems that the most appropriate utility for solving this particular problem is Tiger Cache Cleaner, but you may also want to consider other utilities, such as OnyX, or Cache Out X, which are free. Whatever utility you choose, be sure to read this first:
Side effects of System cache cleaning
As an example, this is how you should proceed with OnyX:
1. Quit all applications.
2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
3. Click Maintenance. In the Reset section, check LaunchServices database.
4. You may uncheck any other pre-checked options if you wish.
5. Click the Execute button.
6. Restart the computer.
