Mail Not Sending, No Advice Working, Lion Mail Settings Mixed Messages

I've tried all the advice I've seen on this issue. One thing that applies to me that I don't see mentioned elsewhere, is that while all the servers show Offline in Mail/Preferences, if I go to the Mailbox dropdown, it will show Take Accounts Online as inactive, and Take Accounts Offline as active. So since upgrading to Lion, it has a mixed message within itself. This *must* be part of the problem??? Will others please check this and report if they show the same inconsistency, so Apple will see there is a glitch in their software?
Then, when I try to change ports or anything in Mail/Preferences, I get this message:
"The servers marked with alert icons are in conflict and cannot be saved. Two servers cannot share the same address and authentication settings. Resolve the conflicts and try again."
But *no alert icons show* next to any servers in the list, and no servers are sharing the same address and authentication settings. Well I have three gmail accounts, so I have three servers, one for each one, that share the gmail smtp (address?) and settings, but don't share the same email address. Which address does this message think is being shared, the accounts' email addresses or the smtp address? I've always used separate server settings for each gmail account because you have to enter different passwords. This should not be an issue.
I've have tried every which way to solve this. It's clear to me that it's Lion related, *not* my email host server.
Have five days of emails in my Outbox and have spent a couple hours trying to resolve and getting desperate for a solution. No Mac store near me :-(

I now discovered that after the last procedure, when I look at Mailbox > Online Status > the settings for the two working accounts appropriately show Online and the one for the non-working account appropriately shows Offline. But asking it to go Online doesn't work. Also, whereas before, even though the two accounts showed Offline in Preferences, you'd go to the Mailbox menu and the only option at the top was to Take All Accounts Offline (when they already were in Preferences). Now I have the Preference list accurate as to what is on and off and there is an option in the Mail dropdown for taking all On or Off. So I just have one more glitch to resolve on the remaining account that won't send out. Clear as mud? Does anyone care lol!

Outgoing mail not sending. Anyone tell me what settings should be?

Can recieve mail fine. Have tried to delete account & start from scratch but every time i open mail again its there.
So i need the correct settings or any advise how to sort it

Kappy's right - it's not a case of just helping your mates.
Spelling out the problem is everything - if I'd come across your message earlier without knowing it was a mobile.me problem I'd have pointed you to a general answer I've posted on a couple of threads about email not sending. But it may not have helped you, as it's aimed at landline based ISPs.
Kappy's right about having patience too - if you wait you'll get all the answers you need - there's a thread on here about not being able to send emails that has been running for 18 months and has 370 posts! I guess it just depends who feels like logging on and trouble shooting for someone else.
And don't tar yourself with the 'dummy' brush - Macs are sooooo sophisticated that no-one knows it all (I've been using Macs for nearly 20 years and the tricks they have stored away still amaze me!). And you found your own way to the solution and shared it - seems pretty smart to me.

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:

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:

Why can I not send a photo by e-mail?

I can not send a photo by e-mail. I have tried every thing. What else can I do?

I did all that.
Well ....... good. And those watching over your shoulder can easily tell just what's going on. The rest of us have to work at a disadvantage.
So, try this:
a. Say exactly what you are tying to do (we know that .... send photos in email)
b. Say exactly how you are trying to do it
c. Describe what you expect to happen or to see when you do it that way
d. Describe, completely, what happens instead, including any error messages
e. Give a complete summary of what you've read, what resources you've accessed, and what troubleshooting steps you have already tried.
If you'd done that to start with you'd already have answers targeted to your specific problem. The more of it you do the better others can see what's going on and what the problems and solutions might be.

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.

Mails not going from SOST to external mail ids

Hi all,
I have to send mails to external mail ids in workflow.
when my workflow triggers, mails are coming in SOST transaction.
But, when i try any mail to send further to its respective mail id, its giving the following error:-
" no route available from WF-BATCH to mail-id"
i tried sending mails manually as well as by using RSCONN01 also, but no results.
Our BASIS consultant has already done SCOT configuration. Please guide me what is the issue?
Is some configuration pending from Workflow side or BASIS side?
Regards
Navjot.

Hello Navjot,
if you have some basis background you can check TCode SCOT there you can see if the mail connect for external mails is configured correctly. There shoud be at least a node for SMTP communication. If there is such node check that sending s not restricted to certain adresses. Furthermore you could check over the menu if the default domain is set properly.
Kind Regards
Roman

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

You use Restore to get the latest firmware build, not the Update button. You can only use the Update button, if there is an iOS update, say iOS 5.1.
this link talks about updating to 9A406 to fix the "No Service" issue with iPhone 4S:

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

My iPad will not send emails, even though all the settings seem correct. But it receives them OK.

Patricia,
When you say seem correct, have you checked in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Account name > Outgoing Mail Server, SMTP and the outgoing server name is correct, then > Primary Server name is correct > Host Name, User Name, redo the Password, Use SSL is OFF or ON according to your provider, may just try it both ways, Server Port, often 25 is the best to use.
