Mail - not sending but indicates message is sent

Regardless of account used - all outbound messages are failing to reach recipient - and if CC'd to myself - not receiving them either. Have tried various test messages - and no luck. Anyone share the same experience? Better yet - anyone have a solution to remedy?

From the Mail menu bar, select
          Window ▹ Connection Doctor
Click the Show Detail button. A drawer opens. Send a test message and post the text that appears.
Anonymize any private information before posting. That means names, email addresses, contents of messages, and anything else that you don't want to make public.

  • Database mail not sending no error messages

    SQL server 2008 R2
    Database mail was up and running until sometime last week.  It seemed to quit in the middle of a long list of emails.  We had network issues at this same time that might have contributed to the issue.
    Everything checks out ok today but I cannot send a test email.  I do not see any error messages or 'db mail starting up' messages in the log.
    I do see the Email in the sysmail_unsentitems view.  
    I do not receive any error messages.
    I tried setting up a secondary account and that did not make a differnce.
    I tried stopping the mail service with EXEC msdb.dbo.sysmail_start_sp  and the query never completes.  I canceled after > 5 minutes 
    I deleted many unsent and one retrying message from the queue.  I see those actions in the log. 
    Is there any thing else I can try?

    Have you worked through the troubleshooting steps in the following BOL Topic to validate that the external executable is activating, and the queue status is correctly returning RECEIVES_OCCURRING:

    Also have you tried increasing your retry configuration parameters to handle the larger mail queue that you are sending through?

  • Upgraded to Tiger; Mail can Send, but not receive... help!

    Hi there,
    I've come across lots of issues people have had importing all their mailboxes when they've upgraded from Panther to Tiger, but my wife's problem is different - - Mail can Send, but not receive. 'Get Mail' hasn't worked since the upgrade. I've been on the phone with my POP server provider, and all my Mail Account settings are correct. I can send mail, as I say, and sure enough, there it is in her Hotmail web page, along with all the other messages people have sent her in the last two weeks...
    So why can't Mail 'get' these messages, if all the settings are correct?
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Malcolm

    You’re welcome.
    If you deleted a POP account, then all the messages stored in that account’s mailboxes has certainly been wiped out, not just moved somewhere, and you were warned that this would happen by the following alert:
    Remove Account
    Are you sure you want to remove the <AccountType> account "<AccountName>"?
    This will permanently delete the account setup information, mailboxes, and messages from your computer. Messages stored on the mail server will not be affected.
    To prevent that from happening, you should have moved those messages to custom “On My Mac” mailboxes instead of leaving them in the account’s mailboxes. Actually, using Inbox and Sent for archiving purposes is a bad idea regardless.
    If the messages are not on the server and you don’t have a backup (which you should have made before doing something like that), you may try to salvage as many deleted *.emlx files as possible with a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II, TechTool Pro, or FileSalvage (the files to be recovered would be different in the case of Mail 1.x). Of these, the only one I know for sure that can currently recover deleted *.emlx files is FileSalvage. Stop using your computer right now if you want to try that, as anything you do with the computer may cause the deleted files to be overwritten.

    Yes I have turned imessage off a number of times and that does not seem to he doing the trick, and it is not delivering them then I have to press on the photo and either chose try again or send as text message, I have had the setting on to not allow sending pictures as texts (so they can only send as imessage) since I got my phone in January and it has always worked until now, I have turned that off to allow me to send them as picture messages now but it's still not working over iMessage, I have also tried it using 3G and not wifi

  • A particular site has a message capability, but I can not send or receive messages.

    The web site Ashley Madison has a built-in messaging capability. I can not send or receive messages on this site. I tried the same thing on another person's computer and it worked. Is something blocking out this capability?

  • Mail Not Sending; Recreate Account?

    Comcast sent me an e-mail saying they had blocked the sending of email on port 25 (I was actually using 995), and that I should change my settings to send email on port 587. True, I could not send, but I could receive. When I switched to 587 (with password authentication and no SSL) I still could not send, and now get an alert saying "The connection to the server 'mail.comcast.net' on port 587 timed out." Note that it mentions the Incoming server as the problem, and not the Outgoing server, which is set to smtp.comcast.net. Now Comcast advises me to re-create the account. Is this the right thing to do, and how do I re-create an account without losing everything in mailboxes? Thanks.

    Comcast sent me an e-mail saying they had blocked the sending of email on port 25 (I was actually using 995)
    No, Port 995 is a receiving port, not a sending port.
    Now Comcast advises me to re-create the account.
    Do this:
    1. Quit Mail if it's running.
    2. Go to ~/Library/Preferences and delete the com.apple.mail.plist file.
    3. Restart Mail, setup your account(s) again and wait for Mail to find your existing mailboxes. Then check to see if the problem persists.

  • Out going mail not sending in mavericks

    I've had this problem since upgrading to mavericks, mail not sending and the sntp server showing off line.
    I"VE FIXED IT!!!!
    Guys hope this helps, the ports show default - 25, 465, 585 in edit smtp settings. Check the next box down - use this port and type in 25, I know its in the default list but its sent my mail when using the custom port.
    Hope this helps, I spent all day yesterday on to my server supplier and onto chat with Apple in US but couldnt solve it.
    Best of luck!!

    For the past few weeks, I have been noticing a similar problem: access to 11 email accounts, and three domains, is blocked on occasion. According to my web hosting company, this is happening because some process was attempting to connect via port 585, an insecure IMAP port; and that an automatic firewall rule was invoked to block those attempts. The blocking would last for about one hour after the last attempt was made to connect.
    I'm running Mavericks. If I quit Mail, then restarted one hour later, the problem was resolved. UNTIL Mail attempted to connect to my mail servers, upon which the blocks were triggered again.
    I downloaded Little Snitch. It told me, unsurprisingly at this point, that three email accounts were attempting to use port 585 to connect to their mail server. But I DON'T USE IMAP with those accounts! Why Mail is attempting to connect to a port which I haven't configured it to use is the puzzle.
    The solution for me: tell Little Snitch to deny any access via port 585.

  • Apple mail not showing all the messages?

    In Apple mail, for my icloud account, I have some mailboxes which show the wrong number of messages, it shows too few.
    As an example, a mailbox contains 150 messages, but apple mail reports there are only 146.
    I rebuilt the mailbox and let apple mail do its thing. In the activity window I can see there are 150 messages. Yet, once apple mail has finished rebuilding the mailbox, it still tells me there are 146 messages. What's going wrong? Why would apple mail not show all the messages while in the activity window it clearly shows it knows there are 150?

    Solved!
    This was too weird to be real. Apple mail does not show messages it believes to be duplicates, and buy, does it make big mistakes in deciding what are duplicate messages and what not! Some of my mailboxes had over 100 "duplicates" not showing according to apple mail.
    I found a solution thanks to this topic:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/18265121#18265121
    defaults delete com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates
    does yield an error in 10.8.2 ( Domain (com.apple.mail) not found. Defaults have not been changed. )
    defaults write com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates -bool true
    Does work brilliantly though!

  • Since moving to iCloud my mail not sending attachments any answers?

    Hi
    Since moving to iCloud my mail not sending attachments any answers?

    After the migration I started having problems with all NON Apple things.
    Now, as of July, 6th this is my situation:
    Lion devices and iOS5 devices (MacBook, MacPro, iPhone 4s and iPad I) - fine
    have a look here for info:
    AUTOMATIC SETUP FOR APPLE MAIL ON LION MACS

    Snow Leopard - set up after some trouble using these instructions:

    Non Apple clients should work with these instructions but I still cannot get MailForge to work:

    With my HP (Palm) Pre 3 I am still figuring out why every single day they change the servers:
    this however might help you as the Palm is more similar to the BB than the iPhone:

  • My iphone will not send a picture message?

    My iphone will not send a picture message.

    Had the same prob w/ pics not sending.  Spent hours on phone and finally got problem solved.  Hopefully this will help other people experiencing this problem. 
    First, go Settings, then select Phone.  Under "My number" it should say your current number.  If it doesn't (as it didn't in my case) call sprint (dial *2 on your phone).  Tell the sprint agent you would like your Name assigned to your number. 
    In my case, I had been added to an existing family plan.  I was assigned a random new cell phone number, but then later changed it to my old existing phone number from AT&T.  So if you are like me and brought your old cell phone number with you when you switched to Sprint, then this may be the issue. 
    When I was experiencing the problem with my pictures not sending, the wrong phone number was showing as my number on the phone (even though people could call and text me using my current number).

  • I am currently abroad in France, and I can not send any SMS messages.

    I am currently abroad in France, and I can not send any SMS messages. iMessages works fine. I have checked the setting, and message sending to SMS is activated. I have also reset my phone. Could you advise on why I can not do this please?

    Hi 
    It could be a case that the network you are connected to is having problems.
    If you go to Settings > Carrier > Turn off Automatic > This will prompt the device to do a manual search. Once completed chose a different network and test.
    Also is it a particular number it's failing to or have you tried a few?
    Let me know how you get on.
    Thanks.
