Mail not sending Gmail

I have three Gmail accounts, all of which are set up for POP access in Mail. Occasionally, Mail will, I don't know, hiccup and ask me for either the incoming or outgoing password. Outgoing is more common, and I put it in and then it's fine. Sometimes, it asks me twice while trying to send, and on the third time, I restart the program and it's all good. This most often happens if my iBook has been in and out of sleep several times with Mail open.
Today, however, I've entered my password at least a dozen times, have restarted Mail twice, and it still won't send. I've changed from port 465 to port 25, and back again. All my settings are correct, and it worked fine two days ago (yesterday, it was hiccupping a lot but eventually sending).
I have no problems receiving mail.
I have 4 emails in my Outbox that need to be sent, and many more to write. Please help.

I'm having the same problem. Mail is asking me for my password for the gmail, i keep entering and it still won't send. i've double checked and still can't get any relief.
now i'm on the message boards.

Apple Mail not sending Gmail Imap

Hey I have Gmail on my Apple Mail using Imap and it was working fine until about a week ago when it stopped sending so I tried re-adding an Imap account but cant even create one
Anyone else had this problem, any ideas?

Hello,
What size are these attachments & what extention/file type are they?
gMail has been known to refuse say .zip files, & of course attachments over a certain size.
One big drawback on Apple Mail is that if you have a malformed or non compliant eMail, it'll prevent anything beyond that, just keeps trying & failing to progress to the next one.
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

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
http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html
Snow Leopard - set up after some trouble using these instructions:
OLDER SERVER FOR APPLE MAIL ON PRE OS 10.7 MACS
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5330
Non Apple clients should work with these instructions but I still cannot get MailForge to work:
SERVERS FOR GENERIC EMAIL CLIENTS
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
MOBILE NON APPLE STUFF
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:
PALM PRE 3 SETTINGS: I also have updated the password on iCloud, deleted the old iCloud account on the Pre, created a new one. Please note that it now sends using the older server, I do not know for how long.

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.

IMAP gmail - mail not sending properly

I have my mail app set up with a gmail IMAP account. My outgoing mail is often not able to be sent despite wifi being on. I hit send and an error comes up saying "a copy has been placed in your outbox. The message content could not be sent to the server" or something like that. The problem is intermittent. I've been trying to work out exactly which messages don't work, and i've gotten at least part of the way there. If I am sending a reply to a message and it doesn't send if I get rid of the quote levels and leave just my response it will send. However, very large messages or forwarding attachments generally do not send at all even after repeated attempts.
So it seems it may be to do with the size of the message trying to be sent, or perhaps the server can't handle the quote levels, but then sometimes these ones get through fine so I don't think it can be this.
I have spoken to apple. They advised me to delete the account and start again, which I've done but the problem is still persisting. Anyone got any ideas?
Chris

I though that gmail was having issues, are you using a wifi connection or 3G?
Either one, if your using wifi check the SMTP settings for your Internet Service Provider.
You can usually find it by google. They may have multiple SMTP server settings but try each one.
Replace the gmail SMTP settings with the ones you find.
If your using 3G, idk who else is selling iPad now (Verizon, AT&T, Sprint?) try using theres.
Either way who ever supplying the Internet try swapping them out for SMTP server addresses, ports, or SSL capabilities.
I hope this works for you as it did for me.
P.S.
If you switch between WIFI and 3G specific SMTP servers may have troubles when switching between the two.
Check if gmail has alternate SMTP server settings other then the ones you may already have selected on your device.
Anyways good luck!

E-mail not sending certain attachments

Hi,
Not sure if this is correct place to post this but I was directed here from the MobileMe discussion board.
The mail program on my MAC also my MobileMe and Gmail I just discovered will not send audio and video files except to one person. I was able to to this until recently. Before anyone asks, this is NOT copyrighted stuff.
Any suggestions.
Thanks.

This should be the place, and perhaps cooler heads than in the mobilme section... with all the problems I hear about!
Can you elucidate about what is happening when you try?
Does it not atach? Does it refuse to go? Or does it not just show up on the other end?
BTW, eMail was never really meant for such large files to be sent, and due to how eMail works, a 1MB file is sent as 2 MB file.

Yahoo Mail not sending anymore

My Yahoo Mail on Mac Mail was working fine until a few days ago. It could not send out email any more. I have tried a few different settings including smtp.mail.yahoo.com (my original setting which worked until recently) and also plus.smtp.yahoo.com. Incoming mail is still working fine. My other mailbox also setup for the same Mac Mail is also working fine incoming and sending both ways.
Any ideas?
(By the way, I did not subscribe to Yahoo Plus)

Am having same problem. Spent 45 minutes with Apple support via telephone yesterday. They said it is a problem with Yahoo after we went through power cycling, resetting (home+sleep/wake), and re-configuring Yahoo email support (which did solve the problem for about 12 hours).
See below for a snip from the message I sent to Yahoo support. I'll post the response I get from them, if I get one.
I am using an iPhone and am having problems sending email. I have tried sending messages from my iPhone using my Yahoo mail account configured through the shortcut on the iphone.
Yesterday I lost about 10 sent messages - I typed them and hit send (while I had EDGE service) and the iPhone indicated they had been sent, but the items did not show up in my sent items folder (on iPhone and on Yahoo Mail online).
I contacted Apple support and they walked me through power cycling iPhone, resetting iPhone, and finally re-signing up for Yahoo Mail via the iphone (i.e. setting up Yahoo on the iPhone email client again). This resolved the problem until it began to recur today.
I have sent several emails from my iPhone, all of which have appeared to send without incident but show up in neither iPhone sent mail folder or online Yahoo sent mail folder. I have used my Gmail account via iPhone without incident or interruption during these periods of time, so I know it is a problem between the iPhone and yahoo mail.

Apple Mail not sending

I have a number of different email accounts, each using its own SMTP or IMAP outgoing mail server, including two Gmail accounts. I've been on 10.5.2 for a few weeks, and suddenly, Mail is not sending email. After pressing Send they just sit in the outbox.
I've rebuilt preferences, deleted and added back the outgoing servers. Nothing works.

Bob - I have a similar problem...I can send small messages, but anything over about 50KB times out. Mail app in Tiger works fine, but I've had this sending problem since the Leopard upgrade. You may find some help, perhaps, at the following links:

Mac Mail not sending from correct account.

I constantly use Mail to send and receive emails on my MacBook.
On it I have three email 'accounts' - my me.com address (for formal emails to work, banks etc.), my "junk" address (for spam, gaming etc.) and my "home" address (for personal emails and everything else).
When typing an email, if I choose to send it from a different account than the one I originally selected, I can just change it in the 'From' pop-down menu (under the 'To', 'Cc', 'Bcc' and 'Subject' fields).
Recently though, for some reason when I want to send an email from my "home" address, it sends it from my "junk"one instead, even if I am sending it 'From' my "home" address.
It still has my "home" address' signature, and not every time it does send from my "junk" one instead - rather it seems to send from both as it feels up to.
This bothers me quite a bit, especially when I send an important email using my "home" address but it sends from my "junk" - both confusing and annoying me and the recipients.
This only just started happening to me this past week. Does anyone else have the same issue, and any help would be greatly appreciated

Some mail servers such as gmail will change the address when sending from one account through another account's server.
Go into Mail's preferences under Accounts. Highlight each account and make sure the correct outgoing server is listed for that account with the correct user name and password. Each account should have their own. Check the box to use only that server with that account. Do this for all accounts.
If you don't check the box and the server fails, it will move on to the next one in the list. Then you will get the address from that server even though you're sending from a different account.
If the server does fail, you will get a selection box to try again or select another server.

Maverick 10.9.2 - Mail not marking Gmail emails as read when marked as such in Gmail website

Since upgrading to 10.9.x, I have been having issues with OSX Mail application such that it is not marking emails as read when I have done so in Gmail website.
Example:
1). Received a new email in my Gmail account
2). In mail.google.com, the email is shown as "New"
3). In the Apple Mail application in my MacBook Air (MBA), the email is shown as "New"
4). In mail.google.com, I opened the email, which is now marked as read (NOT new)
5). In the Apple Mail application, the email is STILL shown as "New".
I have tried syncing the Mail app, pressing "Go Offline", and leaving the Mail app open for hours, but no go.
HOWEVER, if after step #4 above, I CLOSE the Mail app and opened it again, the Mail app will detect the change and immediately marked the same email as read (NOT new).
It seems that the Mail app having trouble syncing with Gmail and marking read email as...well, read.
My configuration:
1). OSX 10.9.2
2). Three (3) Gmail accounts configured using IMAP
Anyone know the workaround to this?

No one using Apple's own Mail program with Gmail?

Mail not sending - this works for me...

I have what seems to be an increasingly common problem with Mail in SL. Suddenly not sending. I've read all the advice, which is great and helpful, but the problem here is that this is suddenly happening. No change to any settings, ISP has no problem with the port, I can send from a Mac Pro running Leopard. What seems to work (don't ask me why) is shutting down Mail for at least a minute. I know it makes no sense, and it's doubly annoying, because [it appears] that solutions to problems with Macs are getting closer to the old solutions for wintel - shut down, restart and hope. If possible, sacrifice a chicken simultaneously.
Shame. I was enjoying the Mac experience!

I don't have any problem sending, and using several different SMTP.
If this is only with your laptop, I suspect that in moving from place to place and likely using the Default Port list for the SMTP that it is getting switched from time to time between ports in the list, and not finding the right one sometimes.
If you have a SMTP that will work on, say Port 587 or 465, and never need Port 25, change to Use Custom Port and directly enter the needed port, rather than use the Default list. If, however, your home venue requires Port 25, but moving about requires one of the others, then not a good workaround.
