Mail receives but can't send in new Mac Pro!

Hi
I just received my Z0G1, MAC PRO. I bought AirPort Extreme but my Mac Pro and my old G4 are plugged in with an Ethernet cable because they don't have wireless cards yet. While my G4 can send
and receive mail with Apple Mail my new Pro can't send. Since I never had AirPort Extreme I probably messed up the settings which I found very confusing, or the Mail set-up in the new Mac Pro. I copied the Mail settings from my old G4 still no outgoing mail in the new Pro. Please help so I can send mail with my awesome Mac Pro. Thank you for all responses!

Strange coincidence but I just had this problem myself. I worked for hours yesterday to be able to connect to my internet providers SMTP server, to no avail. Today i called the provider and everything was exactly as they said it should be. The truly odd thing was that connecting to their server from another boot disk, with the exact same settings, it got through just fine.
Finally this morning, knowing that all settings and info in my account set up were correct, I opened Mail and the Connection Doctor window.
Someone said the definition of insanity was doing the same thing time and time again expecting a different result. I've found this is just not true concerning my computers.
In the Connection Doctor window, every time the account would show as Red again (not getting through), I kept hitting the "Check Again" button. On about the eighth attempt, of trying for at least two minutes each time, it finally got through and it's up and working again.
Why it finally succeeded then and not the many, many times I tried it this morning and yesterday, I don't have a clue. Demon possession is my best guess.
But if you're absolutely sure that your settings are correct give it a try. Keep hitting "Check again" and hopefully you'll get through a lot sooner than I did.
Update: Since the forums went down while I was writing this I have the opportunity to add more.
I just checked Mail again and noticed that yet once again I couldn't get through to that SMTP server. So once again I hit Check Again a few times, and it worked again. MobileMe seems to be balking a bit too.
Sure wish I knew what was up with this. Gmail works like a dream.

  • How can I configure my new Mac Pro to output the timeline via HDMI

    How can I configure my new Mac Pro to output the timeline in FCP 7 (yes, I have X, but I'm using 7 right now). I have two monitors running from TB2, but want to have the third for a client monitor.
    If I use all three via TB2, it's literally three monitors, and I want to edit on my CineDisplay. I only want the client to see the timeline video on the third monitor. When I hook up HDMI I get no signal, in fact, I can't have the HDMI cable hooked up for TB2 to work with the third.

    If you use all ThunderBolt displays, or stick with DisplayPort and Mini DisplayPort (free conversion between the two with only a cheap cable) you can have up to six displays.
    If you attach "legacy" displays with "any-old adapter", you can have up to two, and the built-in HDMI counts as one if you use it.
    Any more requires ACTIVE Adapters.
    The US$100 Apple ACTIVE Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI adapter works in every case, even displays over 1920 wide.
    StarTech and Accell make US$35 ACTIVE adpters that work for displays up to 1920 wide.

  • Added new e-mail address but can't send messages

    I started a new job today. I added my work e-mail address to my Blackberry Tour; I can receive messages from my new e-mail addresses, but I cannot send a response back. Please help! Thank you.

    Try a battery pull first.
    If its work email, I would check with your IT department or whoever manages your work email.  They may have to do another activation.  I'm not sure how they have email setup.

  • Mac mail can receive but can't send messages

    mac mail, can receive messages, but can't send messages. The sent symbol just spins around, but does not send.

    I am using Mail 7.3, on OS X 10.9.4 (i.e. latest as of Aug 2014).   I have 4 email accounts, all with their own SMTP servers.   All stopped sending email at the same time.
    Taking the hint from your suggestion, I looked in Mail > Preferences > Accounts, and all the SMTP servers were shown as offline (this must be a Mac Mail bug).  All accounts appear to be Online under Mail > Mailbox (pulldown), and are also Online if one highlights the Inbox account, right click.
    The trigger for the bug, in my case, was adding a new email account, and when Mail could not access it, it took everything offline.  Removing that account did not solve the problem.
    After spending hours trying all sorts of alternatives, I found the way to solve the problem was to delete all the outgoing mail servers, and reenter the information (the same information).

  • Receiving mail fine, but can't send mail

    For some reason, my outgoing mail servers are all showing offline. I can receive mail fine. I have my own domain names, and they are all housed on the same host. My boss has one of the same domains and he can send and receive mail fine. I can receive mail, but can't send mail out unless I use my gmail server to send. All my other domains are showing offline on the outgoing. How do I get them back online, and is this a Macmail problem (my boss uses Entourage), or is it a problem with my Qwest DSL? I don't know where to start.
    I did call the place where our domains are hosted and all is OK there.
    Thanks,
    Carole

    Problem - Cannot send eMail - pop up box says smtp server needs password - if password used this is not recognised.
    Solution - Go to Mail>preferences choose Accounts, select one of the accounts.
    Look at 'outgoing mail' server, shows ' smtp.(name of server.com) (offline)' then click on it and choose 'edit smtp server list' - the box will show description - '(name of server)', server name - 'smtpmail.(server name.com)' and in use by account - '(account name)'
    press the '-' button and the above details will disappear.
    Press '+' button and type in 'smtpmail.(server name).com' in the server name box - if you are prompted to save changes, click 'OK' - this may only happen when changing the first account ..
    All should now be OK and you can now check if eMail can be sent..
    Open an 'unsent eMail' in the Outbox by double clicking on it and clicking 'send' it should be sent.

  • Email - receive but can't send

    Hi: I can receive e-mail from my POP3 server but can't send. I beleive it is because of a peculiarity of my provider. I use Outlook to send/receive e-mail from this server and in its setup there is an option under the "Outgoing Server" setup tab that says "Log on to incoming server before sending e-mail". That doesn't appear to be an option with the iPhone. Here is a blurb from the service providers FAQ:
    "By default, this server will reject all connections. To authorize yourself to send e-mail, you must first use your e-mail reader to check your account for new e-mail. After you have checked your e-mail, you will be authorized to send e-mail through the server for up to 90 minutes.
    All of our customers have mailboxes which are accessible through POP3 or IMAP. POP3 and IMAP are e-mail retrieval protocols and have authentication built-in. Therefore, any customer who legitimately accesses a mailbox on our servers using POP3 or IMAP is automatically authorized to send outgoing e-mail through our relay service for up to 90 minutes. "
    thanks,
    russ
    p.s. Here is webpage on setting it up: http://www.pair.com/support/knowledgebase/e-mail/setting_up_an_e-mailreader.html

    I also encountered this problem and think I got it solved today. Try the following:
    For your outgoing server, use cwmx.com, which is AT&T's only outgoing server for the Edge network. Don't use a user name or password.
    Then perform what AT&T calls a soft reset. Hold down the power button on the top right side and the circular button on the bottom center at the same time until the Apple logo appears on your screen. Then wait a minute or so, see if you can get internet access through Safari, and if so, the you should be able to send emails from your account. It worked for me, and I hope it works for you.

  • I can receive, but can't send.

    Like the title suggests, I can receive emails but can't send them in Mail. I'm living in a university hall now and they have pretty strong firewall which makes me unable to use programmes like LimeWire, and stuff. I'm sure the firewall has something to do with the inability of sending emails. But they say sending emails should be perfectly fine. And since they only know Windows PC matters, I think I should ask you guys first before asking those university Windows PC folks.

    Mail Help has some articles devoted to sending problems, e.g. “I can't send email” or “I can't send email because the connection to the server on port 25 timed out”. You may want to take a look at them in case there is something there that applies to you.
    Something that usually works if you’re trying to use an outgoing (SMTP) server different from the one provided by your ISP (and in the case of .Mac in particular) is changing the outgoing server port to 587 instead of 25 in Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Server Settings.

  • Receive but can't send Centurylink email

    Any ideas to help? I have two Centurylink email accounts.  About a month ago, my iPhone stopped sending mail through my Centurylink smtp.  Now, I can receive Centurylink mail but can't send mail or reply from either account on either my iPhone or iPad.  I have talked to CL several times and they have walked me through the screens but to no avail.  I am not experiencing difficulty with my Gmail, Hotmail or Mac mail on the mobile devices.  Should be a solution without having to install a special piece of software.

    The first message means you cannot log into the SMTP server. For whatever reason, it is showing this error regarding the username and password. It could have something to do with the fact that you have more than one CL account. We'll check that later.
    The second one has to do with a different SMTP error, and that sounds like it is hitting the wrong port, even though you are saying you have corrected to their recommended port. Many ISP email providers will not let you send mail through their SMTP server when not on their network, such as connected by the computer or on your wi-fi at home, unless you can be authenticated. This has something to do normally with the SSL setting and how you are authenticated.
    Also, when deleting and adding similar accounts back to the phone, it can also keep/carryover SMTP settings. If you go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>tap on the primary account, hoiw many SMTP servers are listed there? There might be a primary and there could also be Other SMTP servers. This may be where your problem lies. Check the settings in the Primary Server. Because you have two accounts, and they of course, have different username and passwords, they could be causing conflict as to which SMTP server is checked there. See if the correct SMTP server is serving the correct account. You can make adjustments in each account area.
    We can work from there.

  • Can receive but can't send fax. Connected wirelessly, web enabled, all else works. Photosmart 7510

    Can't send fax. Wireless is working. Web enabled on, can receive faxes but can't send.

    Hello,
    The first thing I would do is follow step six in this document to set a static IP: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02817031&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=4023246&tmp...
    When it askes for DNS information, enter in Google's DNS. Preferred DNS = 8.8.8.8 Alt DNS = 8.8.4.4
    If that does not help, if you could provide me with the following information it would help me out. First, who is your ISP( Internet Service Provider, i.e. Comcast, AT&T, Verizon, ect.)? Second, who is the maker of your router? Lastly, what is the model number and firmware version of your router?

  • Yet another can receive, but can't send mail problem.

    I’m having trouble with Mail. I have reviewed the various posts by others who have a similar problem. I’ve tried their suggestions, but none have worked for me. I just bought a new G5 PowerMac. I have set the account preferences exactly like my PowerMac G4 and PowerBook G4, but I cannot send messages on any account. I can receive messages. When I try to forward a message by clicking the forward button, nothing happens - no new reply window appears. Likewise, when I compose new message and click the send button nothing happens. My setting are correct and the same as the other Macs noted above. Both of them will send and receive messages using the same DSL connection as the G5. I have two hard drives on my G5 both with OS 10.4.3 installed. I use the second drive to start up on when I have trouble with my main drive. I started on the other drive, which had no mail settings, and tried to set up my accounts. In this case I got a message stating that the mail server could not be accessed. I went ahead and set the accounts anyway, then made sure the settings were correct. This implies that there is something wrong with my new G5 or there is a bug with Mail using the G5 since I have no problems with the other Macs. I haven't time to contact the help line and hope someone knows how to fix this problem.

  • E-Mail - Can receive but can't send.

    I have set up a personal account on my iTouch (1st Gen) in which to receive and send my email from my home account. I can receive mail but I am unable to send mail. It tells me that the SMTP account cannot connect. I have checked all the setting and they seem to be correct. I set it up just like outlook 2003. I have sync my Touch several times, somewhere I read that the correct setting could be sync from outlook, but I have the same problem. I trying to look for a possible solution.

    Hi xwdpuzzler,
    Who is your email account provided by?
    Most Internet Service Providers will give a free email account but you can only send email from that account when connected to the Internet over their network.
    This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1426 provides general tips that may resolve the issue.
