Mail down since Yosemite!! SMTP (outgoing)

hello everyone.. well I am in mexico city and I have problems with my outgoing mail since yosemite!!!
1st of all, I used to repair computers for 10 years so I thought I was able to repair this problem but I just don´t!! I have tried each possibility ever for 2 weeks daily  and about 30 hours reading and trying! So this must be apple issues for sure!
I red yesterday that with the update to 10.10.1 there is a fix to the bug but still nothing!!
     BY THE WAY!! this problem occurs to everyone using POP or IMAP mail... there are some people who solved this issue with some luck or with some remendations on this link: Re: Mail SMTP (outgoing) does not work after Yosemite upgrade
BUT; There are some other people like me that have try everything.. even formatting the computer, creating new mail accounts from the same server, from 3 different mac´s retina ,core 2 duo core i7 , etc )
yosemite is not what I was expecting for months!, it crashes and crashes and It is annoying.
best regards

I was having the same problem as everyone else regarding the upgrade to Yosemite and the smtp errors. I didn't see any questions regarding Outlook for Mac so I just decided to try some different things. What worked for me was using the Apple Mail Settings Lookup (google it). I discovered that the Server Port numbers that were entered into my account preferences and what were shown on the Mail Settings Lookup were different. If you find when you do this your Server Port numbers are different do the following: Open Preferences in Outlook, click Accounts. Then you will have to put a check in the Override Default Port for both the Incoming and Outgoing servers (if both of your Server Port numbers are different). After I did this, my outgoing mail sent with no problems. Hope this helps someone out there!

  • What about icloud mail down since yesterday?

    I can#t access icloud mail since yesterday afternoon CET. What is the matter?

    Yes, poor service from Apple on this one. This time yesterday % withput Mail was 0.17 Now it is 1.1%.  That must be quite a number of users. Why are not more people kicking up a fuss? Mail out for over 24 hours is bad.
    I am having to use other email providers.

  • Mail SMTP (outgoing) does not work after Yosemite upgrade

    I have just updated Yosemite on my Mac and MacBook Air and the outgoing mails cannot be sent - the SMTP-connection fails.
    It worked fully Ok few seconds before the upgrade was started.
    So, I wonder if anyone or Apple can help on getting the Outgoing mails to work again.

    For those of you having email password issues, I'd suggest:
    1) Close your mail client (i.e. Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook, etc).
    2) Launch "Applications" > "Utilities" > "Keychain Access.app"
    3) Select "login" from the sidebar top left area, then select "Passwords" in lower left area
    4) Click into the Search box in the upper right and search for your ISPs server names.  For example, type "aol" or "google" or "comcast", etc.
    5) Look through the search results for password entries related to your SMTP (outgoing) or IMAP/POP (incoming) mail servers.  Select them and delete them.
    6) Open your email client and try to receive mail, and then to send mail.  You should be prompted to enter your mail username and/or password.
    Hopefully this might fix issues for those of you using mail clients that use Keychain for credential storage.

  • IPad smtp outgoing mail server choices not shown.

    I use one mail Gmail account to where all my other accounts forward their mail. This makes it simple for me to organize 10 different accounts.
    In iPad Mail settings I've setup my main Gmail account with 10 other smtp outgoing servers but when I write an email I don't have the option to select which smtp server is used. In Apple Mail (Mac OS) this system works fine as they have the option to select whatever smtp servers are setup.
    What is the point of having the option in the iPad to set multiple outgoing servers if you can not select which ones are used before sending?
    I know I could setup various POP/IMAP accounts for each smtp I prefer to use but why make it so complicated and waste space and bandwith downloading duplicate messages?
    Has anyone found a solution to this or am I missing something obvious?

    Yeah, I don't know why the difference. Interestingly for me, the iOS version in iOS4.2 is "better" than the OSX version of Mail because now I can have more than one Exchange account.
    I am sympathetic with your need to separate your lives. I have a client that accidentally got one of my alternate email addresses and cannot/will not update his address book with the "correct" address, despite my requesting several times over the course of a year. In any case, I don't think there is any way around this other than completely changing your email address. (If not a second Gmail, then Yahoo, Hotmail or other email provider.)
    The only time I've ever seen a "no password" SMTP server was as I previously said, it used a "network authentication" method. Many, many moons ago, SMTP servers often didn't have password authentication so would often be used for spam relaying. Before mobile users, "network authentication" by ISPs was fine since they could figure out which user was spamming since they could trace the IP addr, MAC addr, etc back through the physical link to the user. But with mobile users who change networks constantly, the general trend was to password authentication, even for wired ISPs since their users would want to have access to send mail while away from home. (e.g.: you're a RoadRunner customer, but want to send mail while using your laptop on vacation in Italy.) This "prior authenticated download" I've never heard of anyone else doing.

  • SMTP outgoing mail through 3rd party servers

    Apple Mac Mail - used to be fine sending email via a different SMTP server by setting up the SMTP details.
    This seems to have stopped working and I am told by the service provider that BT must be doing something "strange" stopping my connection via SMTP to the mail servers I want to use.
    Suggested that maybe the port was being blocked. Mail is trying 25, 465, 587 ports. 
    Any ideas

    LOve it to be something simple I did move to a new machine and latest OSX but I have switched the old one on and that fails too when it just worked for years.
    Think I have a work round by using mail.btinternet.com as the outgoing server for all account but bemused as to why I should have had to do that.
    Spent two hours on the phone today with BT. They escaleted the problem to a specialist support desk, which we then had to agree to paying a £30 charge if they were able to fix the problem as they say that it is a problem with mac mail. (Which it isn't because it works fine using a different broadband connection, and we have three laptops in the house all with same problem, using outlook as well as mail).
    All three laptops have been working with out fault for the last four years and just before christmas they all stopped being able to send emails using hotmail. Obviously BT have changed something somewhere along the line.
    The Specialist just changed our outgoing mail server to use BTs instead. (I have been using a different SMTP server anyway as a temporary fix since christmas) Whilst we are able to send emails, we are still unable to connect to hotmails SMTP server. Still had to pay the £30 though. As far as they are concerned that still counts as a fix. Another "solution" they gave me was to change the DNS address in system preferences- Not Ideal as everytime you connect your laptop to a new network you will have to reset them.An absolute joke.
    Their direct number is 08000 321 118 if you need them to talk you through it. Best to have your bank card to hand.
    Livid.

  • Problems sending mail: some problem with the outgoing mail server SMTP?

    I can't send e mails: some problem with the outgoing mail server SMTP?

    I had this same problem with both my imac and mac book pro using hotmail via mac mail with bt as my internet provider. Suddenly 4 months ago out of nowhere i could receive emails but could not send them. I scoured all the threads followed all the fixes none of them worked. However I just phoned apple support and fixed it in a matter of minutes. I am SO happy. This is what the technician advised me:
    Go to your apple icon and scroll down to system preferences. Then dependant on what machine you have it is different for my imac and mac book pro click on either air port/wifi then the advanced tab in the bottom right hand corner. Then click on the DNS tab. Hit the + sign on the left hand side and type in 8.8.8.8 then hit the + sign again on the left hand side it will create a new line underneathe and type 8.8.4.4 then hit okay on the bottom right and then hit apply, again on the bottom right. Then send a test email to check but it should be fixed.
    Had to share this. Its been driving me mad for months.

  • MAIL problem - telefonica smtp outgoing server

    First sorry this is on the safari board. Couldn't find the one for mail!
    I am on holiday and the ISP I can find (public) is Telefonica. I have tried the standard smtp outgoing server (smtp.telefonica.net) but even on this I keep getting a "address rejected by server'. I've tried different servers but I think telefonica is fairly tight about that sort of stuff. I think the problem is a password and username is needed however I can't get these.
    Is there any way around this, perhaps setting up a personal smtp server, or someway of bypassing their outgoing mail restrictions? This is my first mac so I'm a little bit stuck...
    hope you can help!

    Ok fixed it. For anyone else having the problem of a not being able to send outgoing mail with a public ISP do the following.
    1) setup a gmail account and record password and username.
    2) Set up a new server in mail: "mail/preferences/accounts/outgoingmail server (drop down)/edit server list"
    3) add a new server by clicking on 'plus'
    4) server name is 'smtp.gmail.com'. check 'use custom port' and enter 587. check use ssl box.
    5) in Authentication drop down, choose password then enter your gmail username and password.
    All this worked for me after fannying around with loads and loads of far more complicated things! Hope this helps someone like it did me!

  • What port number is used for SMTP outgoing mail with AOL?

    I inadvertently changed the port number for SMTP outgoing mail of AOL.  What port number should I use?

    Yahoo and Gmail support should be able to help you.
    Not related to Firefox support, web mail doesn't use POP or SMTP protocols which is what email clients such as Thunderbird use for communicating with email servers.

  • Mac mail - SSL option for the SMTP outgoing mail server - Help!

    Mac mail (Version 6.3 (1503)) will not let me "uncheck" the SSL option for the SMTP outgoing mail server - Help!
    Thanks!

    Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    First, empty the Trash.
    Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    find ~ $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl \) 2> /dev/null | wc -l
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ 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 Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "41." Please post it in a reply.

  • IMAC: What is the SMTP outgoing mail server?

    IMAC: What is the SMTP outgoing mail server?

    You need to get that information from your internet service provider if you are using an email address provided by them or, if you are only using iCloud, then the info can be found here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
    FWIW, in order to set up email, you need both an incoming and outgoing server address (in addition to your email address/user name and password). Those are the servers your email program uses when sending or receiving emails.

  • ICloud mail down in Florida since 11am?

    My mac, my macbook air, and iphone can not send or receive email

    I've been down since midday 17 April over here in Perth.
    It's incredibly frustrating, as some important and urgent email was apparently sent to the iCloud account, which I've missed.
    I can't get a straight answer from anyone about when it will be up again.

  • Cannot send emails in Mac Mail using third party SMTP via BT Infinity Broadband

    EUREKA!!
    I have a Mac Book Pro and recently had my home broadband upgraded to BT Infinity. Prior to this upgrade sending emails via my Mac mail was working perfectly. Since the new installation I could no send any external emails using the Hotmail.co.uk or 123-Reg.co.uk smtp outgoing servers. Googlemail.com was ok.? very strange.
    So when I connected the same macbook to other wireless connections it would work perfectly.???
    So after many hours wasted messing around, I managed to get the right person at the right time via BT helpline in the UK not India. (India helpine just say "we are not trained in Apple".
    So the very polite man from UK Helpline provided me with the solution.
    GO TO > Apple Icon top left > System Preferences > Network > Wireless >
    Select your wireless connection > Click Advanced lower right on popup
    Select DNS tab
    Click on the + under DNS left pane and type the following :- 208.67.222.222
    Click Apply
    BINGO!!!!
    I hope this helps someone, as I know how painful these types of issues can be.
    Cheers

    Hi Haggie
    Had a similar experience but couldn't work out why macbook was working and imac not. I hate verification with bt. Anyway, tried your method and as you say eureka! Did have imac plugged in before and put it on wifi to try your fix  I will try plugging broadband back in to see if that works and will post back but at the moment just enjoying the moment!
    Just to say a big thank you for not only sorting the problem out but equally importantly posting the answer! Too many people sort out their problems without letting other people know how!
    Many thanks
