Mail loosing iCloud SMTP server name
Recently I have found that when I go to create a new email I cannot send it as the Mail application does not have the SMTP server assigned to my iCloud account. Then when I try to choose one from my existing list, iCloud is greyed out and showing as offline.
I have to then go into Mail>Preferences>Accounts then highlight my iCloud account and pick the iCloud SMTP server, then Save this amendment. I can then create a new email and its configured to work OK.
Anyone else have this issue or offer a suggestion?
Running 10.8.3. Thx.
Anyone else having this issue? It's still going on for me. It only happend to me since the update to 10.8.3.

Use other than iCloud SMTP Server?
Hi fellows,
iCloud is out and it is already starting to aggrevate me. I don' t want others to see my @me.com email adress. Therefore I want to change the SMTP server in my icloud account to an other email provider (gmail). But the iCloud SMTP server does not allow itself to be deactivated. It stays the primary SMTP and the gmail SMTP (which I want to make primary) stays secondary!
I can change the SMTP in the email itself each time I write a new one, but this is very annoying!
Can someone help?
Btw. are you mails being pushed?! Mine do not push at all!
Thanks in advance!
Best Regards,
PhillipVery weird, it worked with MobileMe in the iOS 5 betas.
But I'm seeing what you're seeing. Bummer. I gave up on Apple and have moved my email to Google Apps using their sync.
They ook the ability for me to add my smtp to the web interface with iCloud and now apparently in the phone as well.
My advice, abandon the use of apple services. -
Hpeprint and iCloud SMTP server
Why can I not send mails with the icloud SMTP server to my printer using an hpeprint address? The mails are not printed an I get an error message. From all other email SMTP servers I use, it's working perfectly.
The message I receive from icloud looks like this:
This report relates to a message you sent with the following header fields:
Message-id: <[email protected]>

Your message cannot be delivered to the following recipients:

Diagnostic-code: smtp;550 5.7.1 Command rejected
This looks like a common problem with icloud as the promlem is also reported on the support forum of hpeprint. Nobody had a solution til now.
thanks for any useful helpI can confirm, that it happens on my iPhone as well - using any email provider it works except when using my iCloud account. Strangely, it used to work in the past and I'm just ran into this challenge recently.

Friends,
I have configured mail transport for portal. In SMTP server name I have given its IP address. Is it right or i should give address like "smtp.xxx.xx". I am expecting some quick response.
regards,
M.Arunkumar.Hi Arunkumar
It should work. Heres is a working example, I've used:
JavaMailTransport, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, Sent Items, SMTP Server
See help for full documentation:

Good Morning:
I am installing Mid Tier of OCS. Could you guys give more information about the SMTP Server Name asked during installation: guidelines says: "SMTP server name for Subscriber Administrator and Users access thier passwords and log into Oracle Files". Should be this Server name the same host in wich I am installing MNidTier, or ?
Thanks in advance for any explanation.Hi!
This is asked during the files configuration. The files component will send out an email to the admin when users are synchronized and when other issues arise in the files environment. The mail server could be the one you just installed but you might choose a different one as well.

How to find SMTP server name on AIX 5.3 ?
Hi All/Guru
how can i find SMTP Server name on my aix server which i need to configure E-mail notification for database alerts.

Where do you put the SMTP Server Name ?
I am trying to set up the email address of the SNMP.
i can set up the Server SNMP Agents and the trap destinations, but can't find where to specifiy the SMTP Server Name i.e our company email address name [email protected]
I looked in security realms can't find it.
Any ideasHi,
Here is sample setup for AIX machine.
SETUP:
GC agent installed in AGENT_ORACLE_HOME
RDBMS installed in RDBMS_ORACLE_HOME
Database and listener up and running, monitored by Grid Control,
this implies that the AGENT_ORACLE_HOME/sysman/emd/targets.xml contains the correct credentials for the database.
The listener name given ion RDBMS_ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/listener.ora is identical to the name of that listener target in Grid Control.
AGENT_ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/sqlnet.ora must exist.
SETUP steps needed for operating system AIX:
A. AIX is using its native snmp deamon pointing to the snmpdv3 deamon (this is the default on AIX5L):
[hostname]/root> ls -l /usr/sbin/snmpd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 9 Jul 24 2009 /usr/sbin/snmpd@ -> snmpdv3ne*
B. The script AGENT_ORACLE_HOME/network/snmp/peer/start_peer has needs to be corrected on AIX :
1. the locations of "whoami" needs to be corrected from "/usr/ucb/whoami" to "/bin/whoami"
2. the command starting the os snmp deamon must be changed to
$SNMPD $SNMPD_OPTIONS -p $NEW_SNMPD_PORT >snmpd.out 2>&1 &
Alternatively add two blocks for operating system AIX:
elif [ "$uname" = "AIX" ] ; then
USERID=`/bin/whoami`
SNMPD=/usr/sbin/snmpd
SNMPD_CONFIG=/etc/snmpdv3.conf
SNMPD_OPTIONS=""
BP="AIX"
TRPCMD="exit 1"
ENCAP_OPT="-s 1160"
elif [ "$uname" = "AIX" ]
then
echo "Starting $SNMPD ..."
echo "$SNMPD $SNMPD_OPTIONS -p $NEW_SNMPD_PORT >snmpd.out 2>&1 &"
$SNMPD $SNMPD_OPTIONS -p $NEW_SNMPD_PORT >snmpd.out 2>&1 &
Starting up emsubagent
None of the following processes must be upp and running: snmpd, emsubagent, master_peer, encaps_peer
The following ports must not be allocated: snmp, smux, 161, 1161, 199
run as root:
ORACLE_HOME= <full path to the AGENT_ORACLE_HOME>
export ORACLE_HOME
$ORACLE_HOME/network/snmp/peer/start_peer -a
This must start the following processes as root: master_peer, encaps_peer, snmpd
As agent ORACLE_HOME owner run
AGENT_ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl start subagent
The snmp_*.ora files needs to be copied from AGENT_ORACLE_HOME/network/admin to RDBMS_ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
Restart the listener, query the listener status
"RDBMS_ORACLE_HOME/bin/lsnrctl status <listener_name>" must show: SNMP ON

Can't Send Mail Via HughesNet SMTP Server
After installing 10.5 I find that I can receive mail from my ISP (HughesNet) but I can't send mail through the smtp server. I've tried every setting possible and even duplicated the settings off my wife's 10.4.10 iMac and I still can't send mail. All I see is that the smtp service is "Offline."
Fortunately, I have a .Mac account so I can send mail using that smtp server. But I'd like to be abel to use my HughesNet server.
Does anyone have any suggestions?My mom uses RoadRunner by Time Warner. She was able to receive email using Leopard and Mail but not send. SMTP server was the big problem like everyone else here experienced. We finally were able to get it to work using many ideas here. What we did:
1) Delete com.apple.mail.plist from the User/Library/Preferences folder (BACK UP YOUR EMAIL FIRST)
2) Open Mail and create a new account but disable the automatic set-up feature, put your info in manually.
3) Uncheck " Use only this server" from the outgoing mail
4) Under the Advanced tab on Mail Prefs "port set to 25", Uncheck "SSL" box, and uncheck "Use Authentication"
5) Now hit Create
It took Mail about 20 minutes to contact the SMTP server, but it did and now I can send and receive Mail without any problems on her computer.

Hi ,
I am getting the below error when scheduling a report which is larger in size in excel format.
write error. [Error sending mail message to SMTP server. Return code: [].]: [CrystalEnterprise.Smtp]
The same error does not come up when sending the same report in XLS format using outlook.
Can some one confirm if this error is because of the size of the report as I see a different error in XIR2 incase the size the exceeds the email server limit.
~NeethiHi,
this could be
Maybe you have different limits for service smtp account (which the BO Server should use) and User smtp accounts.
Thats why you can sent it via outlook and not from the BO Server.

ICloud SMTP server not working on Windows Live
I can use iCloud to read and send messages on my iPhones and using the web interface in Safari but it doesn't seem to work with Windows Live Mail.
I'm using the following settings:
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 993
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
I can read messages in Windows Live but I can't send. I get an error and if I click "Send/Receive", I get a window that pops up with my account username and password. When I retype that it just keeps popping up until I hit cancel. It's like the server is not responding at all.
Please help.Click on “Settings”
Choose “Accounts & Sync”
Select “Add Acount”
You’ll be presented with a list of Email accounts. Choose “Email”
Type in your email “[email protected]” and enter your iCloud password
I suggest changing your iCloud password to be the same as your iCloud email password. It just makes things easier
Under incoming settings enter the following
“imap.mail.me.com”
Port should be “993″
Security type “SSL/TLS”
Outgoing settings under SMTP server type in “smtp.me.com”
Under Port type in “587″
Security type, select “No”
“Require Sign-in”
Enter your iCloud username and password. -
Outlook 2011 quit sending email - iCloud SMTP server changed?
Anybody else notice that SMTP parameters to connect to Apple's iCloud mail servers have changed?
I use Outlook 2011 for Mac for my email client under 10.6.8. and today I noticed that my outgoing mail from Outlook on my iCloud mail account was hanging up and timing out connecting to Apple's SMTP servers. Had not seen this problem before. The same messages were sent successfully through Mail.app. What was the difference?
It turns out that the outgoing server name used by Outlook - previously smtp.me.com - needed to be changed to smtp.mail.me.com and I also needed to use the alternate port 587. I had used the previous settings successfully as recently as last week but it wasn't working this morning, so the change must have been only in the last few days.
Hope this helps somebody else who's frustrated trying to keep their Outlook email functioning on Apple's servers.Hi paulfrom34,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are unable to send email on your Mac unless you use your iCloud account. To troubleshoot issues with sending email, please read over and work through the suggested steps located in the attached article.

Mail selecting incorrect SMTP server
I saw a post on this but I have a more specific problem, hopefully someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong. Here's my situation. I use my MacBook Pro at work, and I have to operate sometimes inside a firewall and sometimes out on the Internet. As a result, I have to maintain two different Account setups in Mail for the same actual email account. One setup (call it 'Mail') goes directly to the server address, uses normal SSL transport, and uses that internet SMTP server with SSL authentication. All works fine. However, when I'm inside the firewall, I have to use an SSH tunnelling setup to get to IMAP servers outside, so I use SSHAgent and tunnel my local ports to the server outside. That, also, works after much fiddling.
So I end up having two different 'accounts' in Mail - one to 'Mail' and one to 'Mail Tunnel.' At any given time, one or the other works, and the other is 'offline.' Here comes the problem.
I have specified in each of them that they have to use specific SMTP servers - the direct connection for 'Mail' and the localhost:port for 'Mail Tunnel.' The problem is that whenever I compose and send a message while inside, Mail.app always tries to send it to the 'Mail' SMTP server - the one with the direct address. Even if I'm sitting in the 'Mail Tunnel' inbox when I hit 'compose' - no joy. It always tries the 'external' mail server.
The only way I can send mail while inside is to go into preferences, go to the 'Mail' setup (not Mail Tunnel) and set it to use the localhost:port SMTP server and select 'Use Only This Server.' Then things work, until of course I leave the firewalled zone and have to go back and change preferences.
So what appears to be happening is that Mail isn't differentiating my outbound mail server based on the account I'm using. I'm wondering if that's because my 'REply-To' address and username are the same on both accounts, so somehow the SMTP server selection doesn't get done? I know there's a preference in the 'Composing' section to set where to send mail from...however, the only options there are '<my email address>@<my domain>' or 'Account of Last Viewed Mailbox.' I have it set to the latter. It doesn't say anything about what server to use, and the face that it's keying on my email address (which is the same for both accounts) leads me to believe that's what's going wrong - since the email address is the same in both cases, Mail.app doesn't think it has to select the outbound server. In other words, it's indexing on my Reply-To address, not on the 'Account profile.'
Am I crazy? Is there a way to make this work? Thanks.And, if you select Mail's Accounts preferences in the Accounts Information tab, then select the Edit servers option from the drop down menu for Outgoing server, is each server associated only with it's respective account? And when observing the Outgoing server drop down menu does the name of the associated server change when you select each account from the sidebar?
If none of this is working still, then you may want to remove the /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist file to the Desktop. Then reconfigure Mail's preferences to see if that resolves the problem. As it is I cannot replicate what you've described on my system, so it could be a corrupted preference file on yours. You can test this by creating a new user account and logging into that account. Set up new Mail configurations for the new account to see if they function as expected.
