Mail server fails to deliver message. Port 25 times out

I have a .mac account, my ISP is telecable.es.
Can't send any messages, they stay in out box. I receive following error message: "The outgoing mail server mail.telecable.es failed to deliver this message. The connection to server "mail.telecable.es" on port 25 timed out"
I've already tried port 587, it doesn't work either.
Any help available?
Thanks in advance,
Don Guillermo

OK, that helps narrow things down. What you may need to do is enable password for logon. When I am in Canada my ISP is Shaw Cable. However, my email server is in the US. In the US when connected to my cable ISP I have no problem connecting to my email servers. However, Shaw Cable in Canada does not permit remote use of another mail server to send mail. So in order to use the SMTP server of my US hosted account I must use my username and password when using my US SMTP mail server.
Open Mail preferences, click on Accounts icon in the toolbar, then select your account and click on the Account Information tab. In the drop down menu at the bottom select "Edit the list." Select your SMTP server for your .Mac mail account (smtp.mac.com, I think.) Click on the Advanced tab, then select Password in the Authentication drop down menu. Enter you .Mac username and password. See if this works.
If the above doesn't work, then you need to try assigning the SMTP server address of your telecable provider (I don't know if you also need to enable authentication) and select this server as the SMTP server for your .Mac mail account.

You're welcome.
If you're a .Mac member using Mac OS X version 10.2.1 or later, you can synchronize the contact information between the Address Book application on your computer and your .Mac Address Book on the web. You can also synchronize your contact information between multiple Mac OS computers.
If you're using a version of Mac OS X earlier than version 10.4, you must have iSync installed on your computer to synchronize the information. To download iSync, go to
www.apple.com/support/downloads/isync.html
You can't synchronize the information in your .Mac Address Book if you have an email-only account.
To sync your .Mac Address Book:
Do one of the following:
If you're using a version of Mac OS X earlier than version 10.4, open iSync and click the .Mac button. Register your .Mac account, turn on .Mac synchronization, and then click the Sync Now button.
(Note: If you are syncing contact information between multiple Mac OS computers, use iSync to register all the computers you want to keep synchronized. For more information, choose Help > iSync Help when iSync is open.)
After the sync has completed, go to www.mac.com and click Address Book on the .Mac tab.
Click Preferences, and then select the "Turn on .Mac Address Book
Synchronization" checkbox.
Click Save.
With Address Book synchronization turned on, the contact information in your .Mac Address Book on the web and the Address Book application on your computer will be updated with any changes each time you sync.
You can turn off synchronization between the Address Book application on your computer and your .Mac Address Book on the web by deselecting the "Turn on .Mac Address Book Synchronization" checkbox. While this checkbox is deselected, changes you make to either address book are saved until the next time you select this checkbox and click the Sync Now button on the .Mac pane or in iSync. (For example, if you delete an address from your .Mac Address Book with this checkbox deselected, this address will be deleted from the Address Book on your computer's hard disk the next time you sync with synchronization turned on.)
If your kid has his/her own computer login account, one way to transfer selected contacts from your Address Book to your kid's address book is to create a folder on the Desktop named Contacts or whatever you prefer. Launch Address Book and one at a time, select a contact's name to highlight it and then single click and drag the contact to the created Contacts folder on the Desktop. This will create a vCard copy of the contact.
Using the Finder, go to Home > Shared. Place the Contacts folder on the Desktop in the Shared folder.
When your kid logs in to his/her account, the Contacts folder will be available in his/her Shared folder at Home > Shared.
Launch Address Book and at the menu bar, go to File > Import and select vCards. Navigate to/within the Contacts folder in the Shared folder and the vCards in the Contacts folder will be imported to your kid's Address Book.

The IMAP Server

I can not even find the Incoming Mail Server.

What do you do when you get a 'connection to mail server failed' message?

What do you do when you get a "connection to mail server failed" message?

if it used to work and you did not change anything then it's most likely the internet connection or the mail provider server which are having the problem in which case you wait
if not then they changed their settings and you needs to adjust to their new settings
or your carrier changed their settings so they block the required ports

HT201263 i delete my iphone from find my i phone and now i want to make active my i phone i get the message your i phone could not be activated because the activation server failed i try it several time but my iphone is not activate help me fpls

i delete my iphone from find my i phone and now i want to make active my i phone i get the message your i phone could not be activated because the activation server failed i try it several time but my iphone is not activate help me fpls

Activation issues are almost always the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken. If that is the case, no support can be provided here.
The other possible issue is a device running the iOS7 Beta. If that is the case, and you are a developer, sign into the developers forums for assistance. If that is the case and you are not a developer, try google.

Cannot get mail server failed

Message keeps saying Cannot get mail, server failed.

i had to manually put in the correct email. I wanted to register a hotmail account but since it was giving me that response, I researched this issue. Finally, I found out some specifics and gave it a try. The post said to Go to Add email and Click Other. My email is a live account... I needed to type::
host name: outlook.com
SMTP (Outgoing mail server): stmp.live.com
Server port as 995
When I put all of that in, it worked. Hope that helps!

Can MoveUser move a user's mailbox from an installation of Mail Server 2.X to Messaging Server 3.X?

Can MoveUser move a user's mailbox from an installation of Mail
Server 2.X to Messaging Server 3.X?
<P>
Yes.
The 2.x server allows the postmaster to login to a user's account.
Try running MoveUser as follows:
MoveUser -u uid -s host -xPostmaster:uid -p password
-d desthost -a proxyuser -v proxypassword -m mailboxpath
Notes:
Mail Server 2.x uses a local database and not an LDAP server
for account information. The -l option
specify ldap URL and the associated bindDN password,
therefore, are not valid when moving from
Mail Server 2.x to Messaging Server 3.x.
"Postmaster:" is case sensitive.
The -a and -v options are for Messaging Server 3.x
ProxyAuthUser credentials.
We do NOT allow this login to a 3.x server
(use PROXYAUTH instead).

When I type in fasn26p (machine name) the Oracle Application Server Welcome page displays.

One last thought. I installed this with this on my network at home and I now have it disconnected from the network. So no IP address for the adapter and I wonder if that can cause a problem with Apache?

What does this mean? The mail server responded: Too many messages. Please check the message and try again.

I use BT yahoo mail with Thunderbird 24.6.0 in the last few days i've started getting this message when sending messages:
An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Too many messages. Please check the message and try again.
Now sometimes the messages are sent anyway and sometimes not. If I re-send sometimes it works and sometimes not. I've contacted BT 'tech support' who tell me there is nothing wrong with them or their servers and as webmail works ok they won't help. I strongly suspect it IS a BT issue, Any clues to fix this?

The message means BT are lying basically. I have just spent the best part of an hour on chasing what limits BT place on mail sending... the internet contains a void.
The closest thing I can locate is a BT rep here https://community.bt.com/t5/Email/E-Mail-message-limit/m-p/1045228/highlight/true#M17523 refusing to identify what limits they impose but advising their switch to critical path has more stringent controls. AFAIK Critical path is ca mail software solution sold by OpenWave Messaging http://owmessaging.com/
So your paying for a totally undefined service. Congratulations!

Get mail server to resend a message.

Could anyone tell me how to get a mail server to resend a message. I occasionally get messages that seem to be corrupt and would like to have them resent to my inbox in hopes they will be received correctly. I have another mail account (AOL) where the messages seem to come through as expected. I want to quit using AOL but not until I have confidence in Mail

Mark,
When Forwarding an Email as an Attachment do this simple step before forwarding:
With the suspect mail selected:
1. Hit CMD-SHIFT-H to reveal the header information,
2. Then Foraward as an Attachment and the header information will be included.
I just tried this with 5 different mails and when you double click the icon of the attached mail that resides on your forwarding mail, you can reveal the complete original header information of the suspect mail - it is identical to the original - word for word.
Perhaps when you just Forward as an Attachment without opening the header first you might lose that data, but if you follow the steps above, it works fine.
I should add that this works on the Mac, not sure about iPad.

Connection to outgoing mail server failed only while on WiFi

I can only send emails out when I am not on a wifi connection (ie Wifi turned off). When it is on it say the "connection to outgoing mail server failed" smtp-server.satx.rr.com
Is there a fix for this?

Enter your userID and password for the SMTP server smtp-server.satx.rr.com even though it says "optional".

When I open Thunderbird it always ask mail server password required and than several times i have to enter password. I have 30 emails.

Hey there Sharon47.
Couple of things that I see when I read this.
1 - If you have tried to reset your password (and it says that mail has been sent) my guess is that your spam or junk folder may have it on Gmail? That's assuming your old email account (earthlink) is still forwarding to your new (Gmail) account.
2 - Make sure your Firefox versions are up to date on the devices.
Also,
Here's a couple of support articles which may help you with syncing and

Error messages, cannot get mail. server failed. password incorrect.

my iphone comes up with an error message that says "cannot get mail. the connection to the server failed", i always press ok. then the iphone says that my email "password incorrect" when I know it is not incorrect. i have typed the right one multiple times but i am not able to get mail for this certain email address. it is a windows live (hotmail) account. I have another gmail account that is working fine so far. i have tried all the trouble shoot tutorials on the apple website, nothing worked yet.... Please help!

Ios7 now installed on my iphone 4S, emails show up but I cannot access them, message says cannot get mail - server failed. Why is this happening?

My message titles appear but I cannot access them since they are greyed out. Message in front says server failed. Messages accessable on regular computer, why the problem? Yesterday I installed ios7 on my iphone 4s..

I have this question too! I updated my Iphone iOS software last night and this morning, I cannot access my mail as it says that I cannot connect to the server. On both my Iphone and Macbook, when I open mail- it says that the server rejected my password for ICloud. I can also log in to ICloud online, so I know that it isn't my password- HOWEVER, when I try to access mail through the cloud online, it tells me that it is unable to obtain my mail. Is there an iCloud server problem currently? Is it a software problem? Please help with any suggestions! Thanks in advance.

Mail Server Will Not Deliver Mail

I can connect with to the mail sever with a mail client, and see delivered mail up to this past Wednesday, but any new mail sent to any account on the server seems to get swallowed up. Except for a single spam mail with the title "JavaChief Info Request" which my mail client tags as junk.
At first it had what appeared to be a database corruption, and I could not see accounts in the admin, so I rebuilt it. Now I can see the existing accounts. If I make a new account with the Workgroup Manager and give it mail capabilities, that account does not show up in the Mail admin.
Because I only have 8 accounts, I'm read to just reformat the whole machine and start over. I don't want to do that because there's 6 months worth of data on the machine.
I keep this particular Mac in my office, basically for internet access and to run my Mail services. So there's some personal data and Applications on the machine that can mostly be recovered with TimeMachine. But that's a time consuming project I'd rather not take on.
BTW, the problems seemed to occur shortly after doing a system update last week to 10.5.4

PS: Could it be possible that my service provider is blocking incoming traffic? But then why would this one source be able to deliver mail messages?

Why do I get an "unable to connect - There may be a problem with the mail server or network." message from iCloud. I have verified the settings. I can access my iCloud account online but can't send or receive e-mail via the mail account.

Text limits to the "Question" link prevents a full explanation:
This is a long-time problem. I have tried to resolve it with Apple but their "Customer Support" is merely a name.
I can go online and access my e-mail but when I try to send or receive e-mail via iCloud through my internet server (Google fiber now but the same situation existed with my prior service), I receive "There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for 'Apple Email' and try again.
"The server returned the error: The server 'p0-imap.mail.me.com' refused to allow a connection on port 143."
Well, I have verified the setting and tried again and again and …
Well, you get the idea …

Maybe you should test these things before calling people out, because these settings do function perfectly well.
iCloud is not supported on Snow Leopard or lower, why bother to mention it?
The OP has an iCloud account, and that can not be opened without Lion or Mountain Lion (on a Mac), IOS5 or 6 (on an iPhone/iPad)
The document I linked to is Apples documentation for iCloud on current devices,I don't care whether you believe that you know better than they do, but it will affect the people who follow your advice as it won't work
