Mail not sending

When I try to send mail from Apple Mail, I get the message: This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered. The connection to the server "smtp.mac.com" on port 25 timed out.
This happens on my work and home computers (they are sinked with .Mac). I receive my incoming mail, my internet connection works, and web mail also works.
What have I done? What do I do to fix it?
Thank you in advance for any help.

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.

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.

ask your functional consulatant where exactly the Mails need to be retrived For example...
in infotype 0105 subtype '010' generally we have email ids avaialable of the employeee....
may be this helps or not give full specification some one can revert back.

Why will mail not send when it will receive?

Mail receives correspondence on all accounts, but will not send on the grounds that the server forbids retransmission. However it does work with wegbmail like yahoo and g accessed through safari. How can I resolve this?

Did you check the outgoing mail server setting in each account? Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

Notification mail not send

Hi All,
I have an issue in PR workflow.A notification mail is send to user to approve a PR,but the user says that he did not receive that notification mail.He manually goes to transaction & approve the PR & workflow gets completed.
Please let me know how to find out the cause of this problem.In my workflow log it shows workitem approved by the user.
What can be the cause that notification mail is not send.The user email id is maintained in su01.
Please help.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
You wrote:
"As he executed that step manually ,automatically the workitem got deleted from the user inbox"
This is not something that happens automatically. Is the workflow listeing out for an event which tells it that the activity represented by the step has already been done?
I assume you mean the user performed the operation that was supposed to be done via the workflow step, not that he performed the workflow step itself. If the workflow log shows that he did perform the step, then the user is mistaken.

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

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.

10.9.3: Not able to log onto other networks than mine at home and Go Daddy outgoing mail not sending (smtp)

A week ago my go daddy email stopped working as it would receive but not send. It's an imap account and hence it would not connect to the smtp server when attemting to send. Incoming imap server works well. When trying to use a network outside my home, I discovered that I cannot log into other networks than my own any longer. Email and wifi on my phone works all fine. I have been on the phone with Apple and Go Daddy for 3 hours altogher, tried different solutions such as deleting anti virus software, deleting and resetting email account, tried different port versions etc to no avail. Since I can still not log on to other networks, I am suspecting it be an operating system error? Has anyone experienced a similar problem or has a possible solution please?

Thanks. here it is:

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.

E-mail not sending anything but receiving is ok

Hello,
The e-mail prgram on my MAC will not send any e-mails, but is able to receive them.
However, that same account works fine on MobileMe.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

problem seems to have away by itself.
