Mail sending messages in error

I currently have synced my gmail acct to Mail.
I just got a new Mac Pro, set up Mail for the first time today.
When sending email from Mac's Mail, each time I press 'enter' or 'delete' in the body of the message, an email is sent TO my gmail acct FROM my gmail acct containing the message as it appears up to that point.

What type of account(s)? (POP, IMAP, Exchange)
Gmail, iCloud, AOL, Yahoo, Comcast, other??
Are you sending large attachments?
What version of Office?

Mail: Cant Send Messages SMTP Error

When trying to send messages I get a SMTP connection error. I have found that the connection fails because the server name is incorrectly spelled. Mail seems to add my account name as an additional line in the server name. Example:
[email protected]:macmail
When I go to Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Edit Server List, the server is spelled correctly without the additional (:macmail) added on. Connection Doctor fails because of this misspelling and I cant seem to be able to stop mail from changing the server name. Any suggestions? Im stumped. Thanks in advance

Typically, Road Runner is a cable connection, and as is the case with several cable providers of broadband, the SMTP does not require separate Authentication -- they actually authenticate on the basis of the IP address stored in the modem they provide. In Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information click on the arrows beside the name of the Outgoing Server (as I think you have already mentioned finding), choose Edit Server List, and then choose the Advanced Tab. There you should check to use the Custom port, set to Port 25, and choose None as the method of Authentication. Remove any Username and Password entered there, and Save these settings. You should now be able to send with the RR SMTP. If you have a third party SMTP, then you may need different settings, so more info if that is the case.

Bug report: Mail sends messages with empty bodies

Over the last year, I have experienced a particularly irritating bug in Mail.app at least a dozen times. I finally have a good idea as to what causes it.
The problem involves long email messages (often with attachments) that end up being sent with blank bodies (and no attachments). Even the copy in the "Sent" folder ends up blank, and several minutes or hours of work vanishes into thin air, not to be seen ever again.
I finally realized that this bug only occurs when sending mail through our work SMTP server while outside the work firewall, and only as a result of a certain sequence of events. Here is what happens:
When we connect to our work SMTP server from outside the local network and without going through the VPN, the SMTP server requires password authentication. If the current SMTP selection in Mail.app is the one that does not require authentication, the SMTP server rejects the message. At that point, Mail.app opens the email I am trying to send and brings up a modal dialog that says "Cannot send message using the server xxx.xxx -- The server response was: xxx@xxx relaying prohibited. You should authenticate first." The dialog also presents a drop-down list of SMTP server choices. I choose the password-authenticated version of the server and then click on "Use Selected Server" to send the message.
This works almost all the time, but on occasion it ends up sending a blank message! If I have a long email, particularly with attachments such as PDFs that are rendered in the body of the message, it takes a few seconds for the mail message to be rendered underneath the modal dialog box. Since I am used to this STMP rejection behavior, sometimes I am too fast to choose another STMP server from the list and click on "Use Selected Server" before the mail message is rendered on screen! The result, invariably, is a blank email message that gets sent.
I guess what is happening is that when the STMP server rejects the message and hands it back to Mail.app, the message gets copied into a buffer in order to be displayed on screen. Selecting another server and resending it immediately (before the message is copied into the buffer completely) causes the message body to get trashed.
I hope that this description is adequate for Apple QA folks to replicate and isolate the problem (and hopefully fix it). One solution (although not the most elegant one) would be to disable the "Use Selected Server" action until the message is copied into the buffer and rendered on screen.

This could be related to another bug reported here recently:
E-mail looses all images if mail server doesn't accept outgoing email...
You cannot count on Apple looking into this or even noticing it if you report it here, so I suggest you the same I suggested in the other thread, i.e. report it in one of the following places:

"sending message failed" error message on model 1...

Nokia model 1209
Original problem: “message sending failed”
After contacting my Service Provider (Virgin Mobile), I was told to check, and if necessary correct my Message Sender Number. I needed to find and check this in my Nokia 1209.
V.M. gave me the number that I should have.
Check the rest:
From the Nokia Careline:
“To locate the Message Center Number, kindly follow these steps:
1. Go to Menu
2. Select Messages
3. Select Message Settings
4. Select Sending Profile                   the following # 5 (SMS Center) I could not find
5. Select SMS Center
6. Select Message Center Number
We would love to hear the positive outcome.”
After a deep think here is how I got to the MCN:
1. Go to Menu
2. Select Messages
3. Select Message Settings
4. Select Sending Profile       --- found a series of items, incl. Profiles 1 thru to 4, I selected Profile 1:
5. Select Profile 1 > this gave me: "Message Centre Number" > Select > appeared my MCN !!!!
I noted that the MCN had somehow lost its last digit, which I then typed in, and: All fixed.
I could now again, as before, send messages.
Any explanatory comments would be appreciated.                                                            bluegrassbanjo

Strange behavior in Tiger Mail - Sending Messages but they don't go through

Hi everyone. I have a perplexing issue that is causing angst in my household. My wife uses a G4 iMac with Tiger 10.4.11. She has a .mac account for email using Apple's "Mail". Up until a few weeks ago, she had no problems with e-mail....coming or going. I made a move to a DSL modem and new ISP provider, and she could not send e-mail anymore. She still receives, but the outgoing messages go only to the outbox. We got her a work-around using the web-based .Mac, but that is not how it is supposed to work. (Our two daughters use their .mac accounts on the same machine, but have no problems sending or receiving.)
I switched back to the cable modem this weekend, and we still experience the same problem. My wife's account does not send, but the kids' accounts still have no problem. I have experimented with the account settings, and it doesn't work for hers, even using the same settings as for the other users. I deleted the account and set it up again, but nothing seems to help. Using the connection doctor, it shows the connections are okay.
This is using port 25 with no SSL, using port 587 with SSL...always the same result. It has even stopped giving error messages. It just goes to the outbox and sits there.
Any suggestions?
Mitch

They use the same ISP and settings. I have tried re-setting up her account, and also using the ISP (Time Warner RoadRunner) to try and force them through. The kids' accounts just go through smtp.mac.com for outgoing mail, but neither works for the wife's account.
Needless to say, I need to fix the wife's account!

Mail Sending and Outbox errors

I tried to look through old threads and find an answer to my question, but I haven't really read anything about how to fix this problem. I set up my Mail at the beginning of the summer when I got my MacBook with info for my Gmail email account. Everything was fine and I was able to send/reply/forward messages to other people. However, I just started school at UMBC and at first I was able to send. However, for the past two days my sent messages are not being sent and are being clogged in my Outbox. When I check my preferences, I see that my outgoing mail server reads "Gmail (offline)". I'm still getting incoming mail, but I'm not sure how to fix the "offline" problem. I've tried restarting the program and my computer, but the same keeps occurring.
The only thing I can think of is that to use UMBC's internet, you have to go through the intranet login pages first. I'm not sure if it's causing it or not, but it's becoming very inconvenient for me to have to open Gmail on the web and send my messages through there rather than through Mail.
Please help if you have any ideas! I'll keep checking the thread so I can provide with further information if needed.

Okay, I got mine to send (still shows as GMail Offline, though). Found this fix on the thread
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1685517&tstart=30
The post by Nathan C. (the rest of the thread was not helpful).
The solution seems to be to set the outgoing mail server (smpt.gmail.com) port to 587 instead of 25.
Hope this helps you too!

Mail sends messages in the name of one of my contacts not me,this happened a few days ago I can't find where to change it back

a few days ago when I send a message from mail or reply to a message it does so in the name of one of my contacts not me. what do I change to get rid of this problem?

I found the same issue. I went into my yahoo email and did a search for duplicate addresses. Most of those type emails were spam and I think maybe they hacked into my contacts. Once I removed that person the issue was solved. You could add the person again after the issue is resolved.

Mail Sending Messages Before They Are Complete!

Hey guys, I've had numerous problems with Mail in 10.6.1 (see below) that I never had with 10.4, but this problem is the worst! Mail is sending my messages to their recipient before I finish fully typing the email, so the recipient receives an email that cuts off in mid-sentence! What the heck is going on and how do I fix it?
Just FYI, here are the other Mail OSX 10.6.1 issues I have had:
1) I had all kinds of problems syncing Mail with Gmail using IMAP. One of them was I would move messages into a separate folder in Mail, Mail would sync with the Gmail server and create the folder and move the messages, then Mail would go back and retrieve all the emails I had moved and replace them in the old folder!
2) I had a problem where the mailbox archive feature was only archiving some of the emails in a mailbox, so out of 400 messages, for example, the completed archived mailbox would only have 50 of them.
3) There's a useful feature the previous build had that got lost. When you attach a picture, then want to attach another one, it makes you find the folder from scratch again instead of opening up the last folder right away.

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions..
Since you have so many issues with Mail...
Launch Mail. From the Menu Bar, click Mail / Preferences.
Make note of all the preferences under each tab.
Close Mail.
Locate this file.
com.apple.Mail.plist
~/Library/Preferences.
Move that file to the Trash and restart your Mac.
Hopefully that will help...
This thread might offer help for GMail sync issues.

Mail sends message before finished writing

I have a user who experiences a weird phenomenon with her Apple Mail program. She will be typing and suddenly (randomly) the message will send before it is finished. We've tried replacing her keyboard but the problem is persisting. User is on Mac OS X 10.7 (not sure what build). Any suggestions?

I get exactly the same thing with my Macbook Air. I wonder if my sleeve is brushing the touchpad and triggering something whilst typing. The keyboard shortcut is shift-command-D and I am not hitting that! It is extemely embarrassing as some emails are half fininshed.
I cannot see any solutions but note some iPhone users say they have the same problem. Someone else suggests it is linked ot autosave on the server being checked but is definately associated with typing so I doubt that is the issue.
Come on Apple, please sort this out as it makes using the system for work a liability.

Apple mail sending messages to blackberry while i'm still composing mail

Whenever I'm composing mail through the mail client, it sends the message straight to my blackberry while I'm in the middle of writing my message and keeps doing this until I am done composing my message. I use IMAP rather than POP. It doesn't do this when I'm composing mail directly from the server (Gmail), only when I'm using the Apple mail client. How do I fix this?

Hi,
Try setting Mail's options to be those recommended by Google:

Iphone voice mail: send message

Can I send voice mail messages from my iphone to other AT&T phone voice mail without ringing the recipient phone? This is typically 'press -2- to send a message' on Sprint and AT&T voice mail menus.
need navigation map for checking iphone voicemail messages from landline, it is diff from the map for traditional voice mail. Does anyone have the voice mail map?
Thanks much.

Hey Rick,
That is not an feature on the iPhone.
You can call AT&T standard voice mail by going to Phone> Keypad> hold down the #1 key.
AT&T's website provides more information about their voicemail services.

Mac mail sending messages to people not on distribution

When sending a reply to a mac mail message that originally had several people in the distribution the reply message will send to everyone in the distribution even if you manually take out an address from the message you are sending out.

In have a similar problem. I consistently request that names of all people on send list to NOT be shown to individual addressees, but consistenly are sent all the names. Can this be corrected?

Mail sends message every several seconds

I have Gmail configured for IMAP, but when I am writing a large message, Mail shows "Sending Mail" at a roughly 10-30 second interval, which I thought was Mail saving drafts, but once I checked my online Gmail account, the email was sent, in several different parts, 29 times. Am I doing something wrong?

I recall a somewhat similar situation when one guy texted another guy during a lecture.
He did send the message, but the other guy's phone didn't seem to get it. It was silent. So he send it again. And again. To make it even "better", it was a two-part message ...
For a while nothing happened and then the other guy's phone starter receiving all these messages. He had a loud, high-pitched ringtone on his phone. And he had his phone ... somewhere. Was it in his backpack? Was it in his bag? In his jacket?
Chaos ensued.
So you can see it could have been worse :-)
Haha, fair enough I was reminded of the "Look Around You" opening sequence.
10 PRINT LOOK AROUND YOU
20 GOTO 10
30 RUN
Set-up a gmail filter to delete them as they come in; that should hold me over for the time being.
Solved.
