Mail doesn't send mail anymore

All of a sudden my mail accounts will not send mail. At first I thought it was the size of the actual message or attachments being sent.... nope. doesn't matter if its a 10mb attachment or a 3kb message it just gets sent to the outbox folder for all my accounts gmail, yahoo and business.
I rebooted my ipad and the same issue still occurs.

I'd check the port.
It can change itself and that stops 'sends'.

Mail doesn't send mail :(

I am having major issues with mail recently. No matter what account i use (IMAP, POP3) it won't send mail (ie won't connect the smtp). Anyone else have this issue? (It downloads the mail).

Mail Help has some articles devoted to sending problems, e.g. “I can't send email” or “I can't send email because the connection to the server on port 25 timed out”. You may want to take a look at them in case there is something there that applies to you.
Something that usually works if you’re trying to use an outgoing (SMTP) server different from the one provided by your ISP (and in the case of .Mac in particular) is changing the outgoing server port to 587 instead of 25 in Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server > Server Settings.
On the other hand, if the outgoing server that doesn’t work is the one provided by your ISP, the problem could be that you’re telling Mail to authenticate, but the outgoing server doesn’t actually require authentication because it can determine who you are by other means.

Mail doesn't send mails with attachments 1Mb

Hi,
I'm using Mail with a ManagedExchange account. Before Snow Leopard I was using Entourage 2008.
Everything seems to work fine. Except sending of larger files fails.
Every time I send a mail which is approx. <1Mb Mail starts transmitting data (see it via Little Snitch 2.2b) and stops after a while doing nothing anymore. The mail stays in the outbox, and the moving circle which indicates that a folder is being synchronized appears endless. No other mails are going out then. After a while I get a message that my email couldn't be sent via my mail server. And the connection failed. And I can choose another mail server if I would have any. Entourage doesn't have that problems. So the connection seems to be fine. Small attachments are no problem.
What's the problem?
Regards,
OberMufti

I'm getting a similar problem. Snow Leopard Mail for me seems to be choking on large attachments - sending them, forwarding them, or even moving them from one IMAP folder to another.
My mails are getting through, but it takes a long time and they are dragging the whole system to a crawl in the process.

AOL mail doesn't send .doc-files with Firefox

When using Firefox AOL Mail doesn't send .doc-files. Instead a corrupted file with a different size is sent. Any other file type works aswell as sending .doc-files with other browsers works...

Mail doesn't send e-mail. Before yesterday everything was ok, but now it says that a copy of the message has been sent to "Sending messages" because the contents of the message cannot be send to server. What to do? IMAP should be ok.

Mail doesn't import mail

i both an older version of mail under my G4 PPC Mac OS X 10.3.9 and newer version with my G4 ibook Mac OS X 10.4.9. pop account's on both computers are setup with exactly the same details and used to both received mail when opened. some time last year the PPC mail stopped receiving mail, it does send mail which puzzles me further and further more if there is mail waiting to be inboxed it will check and recognise them but still not actually download them. my problem does here does anyone have any ideas

Hi bibben.
Have you made any changes to the junk filter in Preferences > Junk Mail > Advanced? Try this:
1. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail, disable junk mail filtering, then enable it again. This resets the rule that governs what the junk filter does.
2. Choose either Training or Automatic mode (it doesn’t matter) and leave the other options checked. Click Advanced to see how the junk filter rule is defined now if you want, but don’t touch anything there.
3. Reset the junk filter database (Preferences > Junk Mail > Reset).

Mail will not send mail, only receive.

I have spent the majority of today re-installing OS X and all necessary updates, music, data after the death of a hard drive. Luckily everything went perfectly, except for the same problem I had with Mail even before the 1st hard drive died. Mail will not send mail, only receive.
All efforts time out and give me this message: "The connection to the server mail.earthlink.net on port 25 timed out"
Mail used to send messages, but stopped suddenly in 2004 and has yet to start again. Any idea guys?! I can't figure it out, under Account settings I have necessary fields filled in: Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) is set to "mail.earthlink.net", Server Port is set to 25, and Authentication drop menu is set to None.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
--DANIEL

This is NOT a problem with Mail or OS X. This is an incorrect settings problem - garbage in = garbage out and this information is certainly available at Earthlink's website and Earthlink also provides technical support.
Earthlink has an authenticated SMTP server they changed to long ago.
SMTP Server: smtpauth.earthlink.net
Server Port: 587 but 25 should work if you are using Earthlink as your internet service provider for connecting to the internet.
Use SSL: Off or not selected.
Authentication: MD5 Challenge-Response
User Name: Your ENTIRE Earthlink email address.
Password: The account's password - the same password used to check the incoming mail server for new messages.

Adding e-mail address to "Send mail as"

In Gmail I was able to add an e-mail address to "Send mail as". I am able to pick this new address when I am on a computer but not on my iPad. How do I add a "Send mail as" address to the mail program on my iPad? The email address I am trying to add is not an account but is a group name created with the gmail address as a member.

try to go to https://m.google.com/sync/settings and enable option "send mail as" for you device

Can receive mail but not send mail

Hey, I can receive mail but cannot send mail. I previously had bellsouth mail and it worked fine, now I have a Charter.net account and I get a pop up every time I try to send mail saying, Mail couldn't be sent using the POP account Charter.net. I would really appreciate any help that some of you Mac experts could give me. It'd be nice to be able to send e-mail without having to go to the Charter website!
Thanks in advance for your help!
Lee

Ernie,
Is there any chance that this inability to SEND could be fixed by the removal of MessageRules.plist, MessageRules.plist.backup, MessageSorting.plist and MessageSorting.plist.backup that I have seen in other threads on Mail problems? I'm not having a complete failure of Mail, but I can't send mail (only receive).
I have contacted both my ISP (ATT) and my "second party" mail host (Godaddy.com) and all my settings are correct and things should, in theory, work fine -- but they don't!

After upgrading to iCloud, iCal doesn't send invitation anymore

Hi guys.
I've this "simple" problem.
After upgrading to iClous, my iCal doesn't send invitation anymore!
Please, help me!
Federico.

I've found some other people discussing this recently in the internet (although not as many as I thought) so it seems to be a generalized problem.
I wouldn't want to swtich back to local calendar and sync everything back but this is an annoying problem becase there's no way you can know if the invite went out or not.
Did someone find an official acknowledge of this or something like that? I'm not sure if it's something in our configuration that's causing the problem. My Apple ID email is my personal email address and my calendar used to send invites through my work account (which is the only account configured in my mac currently). I'm not sure what mechanism does iCloud use to send the invites (it didn't work in any device or even in iCloud.com itself).
Best,
Rod

Mail doesn't send

I'm having trouble sending mail although I'm receiving it.
I use Mail 1.3.11 under Mac OS X 10.3.9
on a Power Mac G3 B&W 400 Mhz with 1GB RAM
I've checked already with my Cable Provider twice and the settings (25 port, smtp servers, etc) seems to be fine
The strange thing is that it doesn't display any alert saying it wasn't able to send mail, putting the message on the sent box, so I can't tell if the message really reached or not the recipient.
I've been for months with this configuration. Only until now I'm having problems with Mail and sent messages
Any ideas or suggestions of how to resolve this?
Thanks in advance

Well I'm not at home anymore to check the port settings, but both accounts have been set up and running fine for months. We both use the smtp.mac.com as Outgoing.
The alarming thing about this issue is that any messages she sends via a browser through .Mac (ie not using Mail, but instead going to .Mac email online) also do not go through. But they give no indication that anything is wrong. They look like they were sent b/c she is taken back to the main inbox page, but they don't appear in the Sent Box and they don't make it to their destinations. Very odd...seems like this is a weird .Mac issue for her, but why all of a sudden?
I logged into her .Mac mail account here at work and tried to send emails and the same thing happened. None went through, though no error messages were given. She can receive emails without issue (both through Mail and through the browser).

Burst program doesn't send mail

Hi,
we are using a burst concurrent program which will send output to user as an attachment in the mail. Now the problem is, if the output data is huge(say >10MB),the program doesn't send the mail. But the program gets complete normal.
we are using excel as a output format.
Is there a way to get huge data in a mail?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry, but I just have to ask the question: why would you want to send over 10MB of data as a report result to a user? That's a humungous amount of data...and basically has nothing to do with BI anymore. That's just dumping data into someones inbox.
Cheers,

Multiple page form to email with sessions doesn't send mail

I am creating a multiple page form where a user can apply for finance. I am trying to use session to keep the user input values and then the last page sent the application by email.
My problem is the last step where it doen't send the email. I'm not sure if it the session I'm using is wrong because a simple form without sessions works fine.
here are the forms
First page is the input for with variables

Is there something wrong with my sessions or just something in the code?

Standard Apple Mail. I'm running Yosemite 10.10.1, and I'm amazed to see that About Mail says it's Mail Version 8.1 (1993), copyright 1995-2014 Apple Inc.
Interesting thought, do you think that it doesn't like to work with itself? Actually, I'm fairly sure I've had the problem inside of other apps but I should document that. I'll keep notes to see where this happens.

Mail doesn't send half the time

My SMTP server is TalkTalk ( UK) and when I send mail it works fine... half the time.
The other half I get the 'sending' wheel spinning. nothing in my activity window, and eventually the following alert:
<Cannot send message using the server smtp.talktalk.net>
Sometimes, the message appears simultaneously as I get the 'whoosh' of sent mail and when I 'Try with Selected Server' the email goes immediately, and my correspondents report a double post!
Other times, I get no whoosh, I 'Try With Selected server' and then I get the whoosh.
So the server is fine.
There is something wrong with my mac
any ideas?
peter

I will ask them what their time-out is, thanks.
I tend to avoid automated downloads/uploads and have everything set to manual, as I use my mac for audio production and don't like the idea of background tasks suddenly kicking in ( while perhaps recording or rendering is taking place) . It probably doesn't matter with the new processors, but it's a habit I will stick to until proven unnecessary.
What I should really do is have a boot partition just for audio, but I rather like being able to instantly switch tasks - I have a very disorganised lifestyle
'Blink': sorry - this is jargon from my online conferencing system, cix. It uses a Mail-type reader to run conversations offline rather than using it as an online forum. It means a simultaneous upload/download of messages.
