Mail not sending on initial try

A few weeks ago for no specific reason, every time I go to send mail a window would pop up and ask which server to use. Then another window would pop up and say that the server did not recognize address and the mail would be put in the outbox.
I open the outbox and open the mail and click send and away it would go. Some times the pop up window would say "null".
If I have any attachments I have to do the above procedures 5 or 6 times. This happens to all my accounts. I have one .mac and 5 pop accounts. Have been using mail this way for months if not a year. Then all of a sudden a glitch. My wifes computer has no problem and other users on my computer have no problem.
Any suggestions?

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.

  • 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:
    OLDER SERVER FOR APPLE MAIL ON PRE OS 10.7 MACS

    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:

  • 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.

  • Mail not sending pics correctly

    why does my apple mail program send pics that can't be opened by PC users. sometimes if I send pictures as "icons" they will open on the other end but that only works once in a while. Any pictures I receive from anyone else open on my end but I have had problems sending pictures ever since I got a Mac. Is something set wrong on my mail program?? Thanks for any help. jetRed

    Hello,
    Please confirm whether you are in fact running 10.2.x (Jaguar)? Any advice anyone can provide will have to be in relation to that.
    Assuming your info is correct, let me suggest that you consider several things:
    Is this a new message or a forward?
    Are you placing all photo attachments last in the message, and NOT typing or using the Return key between them or after the last one?
    Are you using a Signature? If so, does your Signature have any HTML within it?
    Have the photos been saved to include a Mac type Preview or Thumbnail? If so try saving without any such specialized metadata.
    Keep in mind this forum is for Mail 2.0 and later, and you might get better answers in this forum:
    http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=740
    However, let me know if you post a new Topic in that forum, and I will follow you there with other thoughts, if needed.

  • Mail not sending - and sometimes even worse.

    Hello Everyone,
    Sorry to bore you all with what is probably a very common issue. I have searched for this but I feel I am going to need personal help here.
    My Dad has had his iMac for just over a year now and used Mac Mail to receive email from his two yahoo.co.uk email accounts. Never had a problem. He has a Powerbook G4 with the same two email accounts linked to Mac mail on that laptop too. No issues.
    Last week he began to have trouble where by the outgoing mail would not send. It started on the iMac. The G4 was ok. By the following day the G4 was doing it too. It was, a few hundred miles away, happening to me also on my G4. I have a dot mac account and have done for years.
    The iMac is still having this issue. It will not send mail. We have deleted the accounts and re attached them with no joy. the lap top appears to be working. As does mine.
    Other than deleting the email account in Mails preferences, is there anything else that we should be doing to start a fresh? I really would appreciate some help here. This has completely stumped us!
    May thanks,
    Philip

    Thanks Carolyn,
    I will try the cheat sheet to see if it helps. I must say the whole issue is highly strange. It's an issue that is affecting my Dad's computer, but the problem also affected me in exactly the same way at the same time, hundreds of miles away, and with totally different ISP's and ESP's. He has two Yahoo accounts and I have a Mac account!
    The problem has just gone away for me but it continues to plague my poor Dad. I have been with Mac since 2004 and although it has only happened a handful of times, it has happened before and I could never get to the bottom of it. And eventually it also just went away. But it's been a couple of weeks now for my Father.
    It must be something to do with Mac Mail or the operating system. We'll try the cheat sheet, but I'm quite certain his details are all correct. I even deleted all of the accounts and server address's over the weekend and started a fresh. It was ok for a day or so but has now started again.
    I rarely criticise Mac, and am not really doing so now, but I think this is an issue they have and need to solve.
    Many thanks,
    Philip

  • 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.

  • Mac Mail not sending my yahoo emails

    Since yesterday, my Mac Mail will not send emails out for my Yahoo smtp email address. This has been set up for almost two years and I did not change anything. I am still receiving my email fine! I'm not getting the normal relay error message I sometimes get with other email accounts. It just sits in outgoing for hours!
    Can anyone help me?

    Try opening up a terminal window and telnet to the smtp server's port 25. If that doesn't work, there is probably some firewall issue or you might have mistypyed the name of the smtp server.
    The telnet command would look something like ...
    telnet smtp_server 25
    If you get a response from the SMTP server, check with your ISP's tech support to verify that you are connecting properly.

  • 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!

  • Yahoo mail not sending

    any ideas?

    I do not know if it is the same error but lately i have been having a problem with sending my mail. Sometimes when I try to send an email i get a message that says, "the attempted to communicate with the outgoing server failed (null*). I have tried deleting the account and resubmitting it but that did not help.
    Ugn when is the new software update coming out I have had so many problems with the current version it needs so much help

  • Yahoo mail NOT sending. Help please!

    I changed the password on my yahoo mail. Now it will not send mail. Will receive, though. Error says not connecting to server. I have done all the usual troubleshooting -- delete account, restart, etc. i also tried using my LTE plan instead of wifi. still gets stuck in outbox. Yahoo support was no help. Suggestions?

    You can also try downloading a different browser and see if the problem still exists, I have never had this problem, and I have Yahoo, there have many issues with them, that I thought were at my end, but then they would come back with, oh we changed this that is why I mentioned this.
    You can try with this and see if the problem still happens and this might suggest the former.
    If nothing else this would also help as a diagnostic tool.

  • Sent mail not sending

    Over the past couple of days some people have not received my email (while some have), even though mail on my mac is saying it has been sent. I try to send an email to myself using my .mac email address from my mac and I never receive it. I receive an email from my wifes computer through her mail on her laptop and I receive it so I know it is not my network. I also sent myself an email using a different .mac mail account address to send it and I received it. For some reason my main .mac mail account is not sending out emails. Please help! - jeff

    I suggest you report the problem to .Mac email support.

  • 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.

  • 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.
