Mail is slow sending out email

Hi,
I have an iMac and a Macbook Pro set up exactly the same way to send and receive mail via Imap. However, on my iMac outgoing email takes a while before it gets sent out (and I hear the swooshing sound), but on my Macbook Pro email gets sent out instantly.
My Macbook Pro is connected wirelessly while my iMac is connected via Ethernet. I can't understand why this is happening.
Any ideas?

You may have a virus protection program doing realtime scanning of your email. Try disabling the virus protector for a test and see if it goes through.
Also make sure your settings are correct by using the Verizon auto fix email tool.

Mail: how to send out emails with graphics embedded?

I'm just wondering if the protocol has changed ...
I'm wanting to send out multiple emails with a graphic, that will open in diverse Browsers, Apple and PC. Is there a way to do it without having to embed the graphic somewhere up on the web and write a bunch of html?
Or, what IS the protocol these days? A direct to a tutorial would be most appreciated,
Ben

If the graphics files are not uploaded to a web server, i.e., if you want them included in the email message, then they must be sent as attachments. That is the only way to send non-text via email. Different email programs have different ways of displaying attachments. Some will show only icons, some will only show a list of attachments. Some like Mail will show the contents of the graphic file within the message. If your recipient is using a program that cannot show embedded graphics, then nothing you do on your end will change that.
Email simply not a medium in which you have precise control over what the recipient will see.

Mail is slow (Sending small email takes 2 mins)

Mail has been extremely slow for some time now.
My Mail V2 folder seems to have some redundant folders:
- AosIMAP-<my user name>                  Inbox is 66 MB
    All the boxes in here show recent dates.
- IMAP-<my user name>@mail.mac.com            Inbox is 23 MB
     All the boxes in here show dates of 2012, except the Inbox which was updated a few minutes ago.
- Mac-<my user name>           Inbox is 63 MB
    All the boxes in here show dates of 2012, except the Inbox which was updated a few minutes ago.
I have no gmail accounts, just one live dot com account for work.
A search shows that I have some redundant emails.
For example, one 2013 email is in
- AosIMAP-<my user name>
and
- Mac-<my user name>
What is the purpose of these 3 mailboxes?
Thanks.
Mac

Yea!!! I got it fixed. In System Preferences and Network enter the DNS server numbers. Get those from your ISP.

Apple Mail sends out emails when turned on. Adress book creates groups of email addresses

I have had this issue with my address book for a while in that it creates new entries with just an email address as the actual entry and then hundreds of other email addresses from address book as this entry's additional email addresses.
At the same time I had an issue with Apple Mail that I thought was unrelated but now I am not that sure anymore. When I turn Apple Mail on, it sends out emails that look like an endless chain of responses (spam) to the same email that advertises all kinds of stuff.
When I first noticed the issue I turned Mail off (a year ago). After updating to Lion I tried to use mail again but had the same issue and have not been using it since. But I appear to still find new entries in my address book all the time.
I ran some software (ClamX) but wasn't able to find any malware so far. I can't imagine someone hacking into my machine and doing all this my hand. For what?
So I am wondering whether anyone has had similar symptoms on their Mac?

Do you recognize the new entries in Address Book, or the contents of the messages?

Microsoft Outlook 2010 email stuck at outbox, the mail will successful send out after you restart the outlook

Dear Mdm/Sir,
I've a problem on Microsoft outlook 2010 with service pack 2.
Sometime it cannot send out email, the email will stuck at outbox. It only work after you restart the outlook and resend.
I've add the 2 email account into this Outlook profiles and running at Windows 7 professional Operating system.
I've try run the Outlook into safe mode, but it can't solve the problem too.
I also create a new email profile and user profile, but still cannot solve the problem.
Please help,
Thank you,
Wcnw

Can you please check onto the Exchange server, the Outbox folder size and Items in it. Use the below command to verify the Outbox folder.
Get-MailboxFolderStatistics -Identity <Alias> -FolderScope Outbox
Look out for ItemsInFolder and FolderSize. If it displays content in it, you would need to remove the emails from the Outbox Folder. The Outbox folder can be accessed from the OWA light version.

SharePoint Foundation 2013 installed on Windows Server 2012 not sending out email notification

I have a server where i installed SP Foundation 2013 on top of Windows Server 2012. I have configured the SMTP as well as the outgoing SMTP in Central Administration
of SharePoint. When i create an alert on a document library, its did not sent any email notification on the changes made to the document in the document library. So, i created a workflow to send out email using SPD2013. The workflow run, but it cannot sent
out email with error saying that outgoing email is not configured correctly. I have checked with another server which i installed SP foundation 2013 on top of Windows Server 2008 R2 - its sending out email just fine using same configuration and outgoing SMTP.
I need help to resolve this issue or at least the cause of the problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try below:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13771.troubleshooting-steps-for-sharepoint-alert-email-does-not-go-out.aspx
Go to Central Admin ---->Operations----->outgoing email settings and verify that SMTP server is mentioned correctly
2) Test the connectivity with the SMTP server.
In order to do that follow these steps:
Open cmd
telnet <SMTP server name> 25 ( We connect smtp server to the port 25)
you should see a response like this 220 <servername> Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.3790.3959 ready at date and time
Beware that different servers will come up with different settings but you will get something
If you dont get anything then there could be 2 possible reasons, either port 25 is blocked or
the smtp server is not responding.
For testing response from your server
For testing response say ehlo to it.
Type :
ehlo <servername>
output:
250 <servername> Hello [IP Address]
Now a test mail can be sent from that SharePoint server.
Now we need to enter the From address of the mail.
Type :
mail from: [email protected]
output:
250 2.1.0 [email protected]….Sender OK
It's time to enter the recepient email address.
Type : rcpt to: [email protected]
output:
250 2.1.5 [email protected]
Now we are left with the data of the email. i.e. subject and body.
Type : data
output:
354 Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF>
Type:
subject: this is a test mail
Hi
This is test mail body
I am testing SMTP server.
Hit Enter, then . and then Enter.
output:
250 2.6.0 <<servername>C8wSA00000006@<servername>> Queued mail for delivery
Type: quit
output:
221 2.0.0 <servername> Service closing transmission channe
3) Check alerts are enabled for your web application
verify if the windows timer service is running or not.
Run this stsadm command to check that
Stsadm.exe -o getproperty -url http://SharePoint-web-App-URL -pn alerts-enabled
This should return <Property Exist="Yes" Value="yes" />
If you don’t get this, Enable alerts by:
stsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn alerts-enabled -pv "true" -url http://SharePoint-web-App-URL
If its already enabled, try turn off and turn on it back.
4) Check the Timer job and Properties
Go to
MOSS 2007: Central Administration > Operations > Timer Job Definitions (under Global Configuration)
In SharePoint 2010: Central Administration > Monitoring > Review Job Definitions
Check whether the "Immediate Alerts" job is enabled for your web application. check these properties:
job-immediate-alerts
job-daily-alerts
job-weekly-alerts
stsadm.exe -o getproperty -url "http://Your-SharePoint-web-App-URL" -pn job-immediate-alerts
The expected output is:
<Property Exist="Yes" Value="every 5 minutes between 0 and 59"/>.
If you don’t get this, run the following command to set its value.
stsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn job-immediate-alerts -pv “every 5 minutes between 0 and 59" -url http://Your-SharePoint-web-App-URL
5) Check whether the account is subscribed for alerts and it has a valid email account. This should be the first thing to check if the problem persists for some users not for all.
6) Then check if at all those users have at least read permission for the list. Because the first mail should go out for every user without security validation but the next ones won't be delivered unless the user has at least read
permission.
7) If it is happening for one user, can also try to delete and re add the user in the site.
8) Most importantly , you should try this one.
Run this SQL query to the content db < Select * from Timerlock>
This will give you the name of the server which is locking the content database and since when.
In order to get rid of that lock
Go to that server which is locking the content db and then restart the windows timer service.
within some time it should release the lock from content db, if not then at the most stop the timer job for some time
Once the lock will be released then try to send some alerts
You will surely get the email alert.
I found this is the most probable reason for alert not working most of the time. We should start troubleshooting with above steps before coming to this step for any alert email issue but from step 1 to step 7 are best for new environments or new servers.
If the issue is like this ,alert was working before and suddenly stopped working without any environmental change then above conditions in step 1-7 should be ideally fine.
Even after this if it is not working, then you can try these few more steps too
9) Try re-registering the alert template:
stsadm -o updatealerttemplates -url http://Your-SharePoint-Web-App-URL -f "c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\XML\alerttemplates.xml" -LCID 1033
10) Try to clear the configuration cache
If this helped you resolve your issue, please mark it Answered

Since upgraded phone to 2.0, cannot send out email

I recently upgraded my iphone to 2.0 (mistake!) and now cannot send out email from my iphone. I have tried deleting all my email accounts and re-setting it up on my iphone rather than syncing with my computer but it still will not send out email. I can send out email from my computer and used the same settings for both...

Also having mixed success sending mail on the iPhone, which is disappointing because I haven't had to send a lot of messages. Out of about 6 attempts, I've had two replies completely disappear. They weren't sent, they weren't in the outbox to send later. They just disappeared. One was while on my home network, the other was while I was traveling. I am very bothered that the emails aren't saved to try and send later.

I have an Ipad 2 and are having problems sending out emails in one of my email address. I always get a message reading the email was not sent because the server does not allow relaying. This is an email account POP3. I have no such problem with gmail.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

All my send out email lost in cyberspace! Pls Help!

Hi pp,
Pls help me! I believe my Mail started to behave strangely when I update the latest security patch or OSX to 10.4.5 ... am using Mail 2.0.7 now...
Everything look and work fine for my mail server... I can download all email that people send to me, and it's seems like I can send out email to my friends too...
**** No! Mail seems to work fine when I try sending out email. No error msg, no blockage... everything looks just alright. But my friends have complained to me that they didnt received a single email from me...
1.feeling something wrong, I called up my Mail server hosting company to check my mail and they say nothing is wrong.
2. I do a roundtrip testing, by sending email from my own account to my own account. I send out about 10 over mail... nothing was received.
3. I do a disk verification using Disk Utility. No error detected.
4. Decided to download a third-party email client program to test, IT'S WORK!
I can use other email client program to send out and able to receive!
Conclusion is, if I use Mail to send out my email, it will send out but eventually disappear before reaching the recipient. Something must be wrong with my System or Mail... but I've run out of idea on how to solve it...am getting very desperate at the current situation... hopefully there are some genius or knowledgable kind soul fellow that can help me on this mystery error... hereby, thanks alot fto anyone who offer their help to me. greatly appreciated.
Powerbook G4 12" Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Nothing in any update should have caused this, and clearly has not for most people -- therefore we should seek an answer aside from waiting for some unknown update.
What type of account do you have -- POP, IMAP or .mac. In Mail Preferences, what are the selections in Mailbox Behaviors for this account?
In the Finder, open Home/Library/Mail/Mailboxes -- is there an Outbox.mbox folder, and is it represented by a blue Icon? At Home/Library/Mail/this account folder, are there both a Drafts.mbox folder, and Sent Messages.mbox folder, and are both blue icons?
More info, please.

I am unable to send out emails but am able to receive emails. Plz advise. Thankyou

Why am I unable to send out emails successfully but am able to receive emails. The company I am with is Hawaiian Legacy Hardwoods.
This window keeps popping up:
Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server pop.secureserver.net responded: hawaiianlegacyhardwoods.com not found in the auth database
When I close the above window another window appears:
Login to server pop.secureserver.net failed.
These options then appear:
Login Failed
Retry Enter new Password Cancel
Not sure why this is occurring but is there any direction you can assist with?
Thank you

Is this problem in Thunderbird (stand-alone email software)? Just checking because your post got tagged "Firefox" somewhere during the submission process.
secureserver.net is a GoDaddy server. Are you sure your mail account is hosted with GoDaddy?
Also, server names starting with pop. usually are for incoming mail. You may want to double-check your provider instructions to see whether you need to use a server name starting with smtp (or something else other than pop).
In Thunderbird, there may be a separate Outgoing Mail entry at the bottom left of the Accounting Settings dialog. To access that dialog, you can use either:
* 3-bar button > Options menu > Account Settings
* tap the Alt key > Tools menu > Account Settings

Problem sending out emails offsite. iPad

Hi fellow apple users,
Could anyone assist?
I have no problem sending out email when using it at office.
But when I go offsite to send out email, i was prompted 'Cannot Send Mail'. A copy has been placed in your outbox. The recipient was rejected by server because it does not allow relaying.
Any good souls out there who can assist?
Thanks a bunch!

Hi al,
Here is a link to a site that explains the whole "relaying" thing. Because there are various reasons you may be getting this message, thought this might be helpful:

I send out emails with proper grammar. People would reply returning my email and I would notice the grammar has changed and doesn't make sense. What's causing this problem?

I send out emails with proper grammar. People would reply returning my email and I would notice the grammar has changed and doesn't make sense. What's causing this problem?

Have you actually compared what you sent (in your Sent Mail Folder) with what is in the reply?
Note that Auto Correction can often change what you think that you are typing.
Are you sure that the return message has your original message intact and not edited by the recipient?
Bottom line: if the recipient does a simple reply to your message with the original message attached the system is not going to edit your message.

TS3276 I cannot get my outgoing SMTP server togo "On-Line" and cannot send out emails.

I cannot get my outgoing SMTP server togo "On-Line" and cannot send out emails.

I had this problem too but I fixed it today.
Go to the mail menu preferences.
Click on account in question.
Select the outgoing SMTP mail server (the one offline), this has a drop down list, click on the edit server list.
Click on the advanced button.
Make sure use default port is checked.
Make sure SSL is unchecked (unless your provider requires it, mine does not work with it checked).
Have authentication set to password.
User name should be your email address for that account.
Make sure correct password is entered (for some strange reason my password box was blank on this account).
Push the ok button.
For me the SSL box was checked and the password was missing. This is strange to me considering I have unchecked the SSL Box on the mail preference advance page. Also, I went through the complete set up account when I first created the account, why was my outgoing server password box empty?
I hope this helps.

Did you change the password on your Mac as well? Go to Mail / Preferences / Accounts and change it there too.
