Mail - SMTP Server Fails

I'm completely baffled about why I can't succeed at sending email. I just went over all the settings with the ISP, and they say they are correct. Guy sounded kinda green, though. So maybe I'm not completely baffled.
I'm getting some conflicting data from Mail. The default set-up was for SMTP on port 465. My ISP wants Port 25. I'm running the Connection Doctor, which tells me I'm getting through to the POP server, but not SMTP. Passwords are identical, and working with the POP server.
The ISP uses a very vanilla SMTP set-up:
smtp.fubar.com
Port 25 (Which I reset to Port 25)
myusername
no SSL
password
Heres a log of a connection session:

Apparently, my ISP needs better help. It seems two things were going on ...
my return email address for the account I was setting up is not the same domain as the SMTP server. It appears that the connection was initially choking because of the mismatch. My usual email client, Mailsmith, doesn't introduce this problem, even with the same settings. Hmmmm ...
After I fixed that, it still didn't complete, however. But I got some good information from the Connection Doctor, finally. The SMTP server doesn't require authentication. My configuration was trying to authenticate, based on information from the ISP that both servers "use the same password". Ah well ...
Once authentication was turned off, it then started taking outgoing mail. Problem solved, I think.

Outgoing Mail (SMTP) server

outgoing Mail (SMTP) server box?

As far as I'm aware, GMail isn't running a public SMTP server. Assuming you're running this on your home machine, does your ISP have a SMTP server you could use?

This problem may occur at low-use times when Messaging is installed with the
Trend virus protection software on the same system.

Change the version of the Trend software from 3.0 to the older 2.62 version.

It's possible that your provider has made a change.
I think STARTTLS usually is used with port 587, instead of the standard SSL port 465.
Could you look up your provider's current SMTP settings to see whether your "Outgoing Server" settings need to be updated? If it's difficult to translate between your provider's help page and Thunderbird's dialog controls, you could provide a link to your provider's help page.

IPhoto 11 (9.2.1) can't use iCloud Mail smtp server for email.

iPhoto 11 (9.2.1) can't use iCloud Mail smtp server for email. "The email server didn't recognise username/password combination". Both appear correct in preferences/accounts. Mail sends and receives messages perfectly.
(This problem also occurs when trying to send from Thunderbird, however both iPhoto and Thunderbird can send perfectly well using the Gmail server).

Hi there
I should explain that I have 5 days experience of the iMac but have had a working iCloud account with my iPad for several months. I don't think this is an iCloud issue as such. My thought is that this is something to do with the Mail application itself and its relationship to my Apple ID etc. (Perhaps when the iMac first configured itself?)
I have deleted and manually reset both Mail and iPhone account settings for iCloud using the Apple recommended settings and I have tentatively checked that the username/password combination is as expected in Keychain but I'm too much of an Apple novice to go any further with that.
On a PC I think I would try reinstalling the Mail programme but I don't see that as an option.

Mac OS X Leopard Mail SMTP server keeps going offline and won't come on

My SMTP in mail on my email accounts keeps going offline and I can't work out how to get it working again. My internet connection is fine. I am receiving emails. I was able to send earlier on my business email account but now my .mac account has gone offline and then my business on went on me.
I only started using my business email account in mail today and loaded the account into mail. Does anyone have any answers for this as I can see there have been some other people who might have had a similar problem but I can't see any fixes?
I have deleted and reloaded both my .mac and work account a couple of times now and restarted my computer but still no good.
Can anyone help?

I have that offline mail smtp server when I try to send emails from work with my macbook. I've always been able to send emails away from home using the login and password in the smtp configurations. It's a real pain since I use one email account for work and personal business. I can receive email but cannot send any. Everytime I have to answer an email while I'm working, I have to go to the browser, go to my provider's mail page, login and send from there my emails.
Do we have the same problem?

Testing Outgoing Mail (SMTP) server does not work

I want to set up the Outgoing Mail (SMTP) servers using the Notification Methods page. After filling-in the fields with the correct name of the server and a correct email address, when I click on Test button, it returns the following error:

By the way, the outgoig email server is using port number 25
 
How can I resolve the issue?

Please put more light about your environment

Mail SMTP server problem

My iCloud does not work in Mail in all my apple devices (mobile, Ipad, Mac etc.). It seems that my Apple Mail soft seems to disable my smtp server for outgoing mails (iCloud server, offline). However, I can still receive all incoming mails ...

Have you unchecked the box marked Mail in the iCloud preference pane and then checked it again? If not, please do that now and test.
I've tried what you said, but nothing changes.
I've tried also to sign out completely from iCloud and then sign in. It should rebuild the credentials stored in the Mac, but nothing works.
I post the screen that appears after it fails to send the message.
But on the other hand it works on the iPhone!!! I've unchecked and checked the mail box in the settings and now it works properly!
The problem still persist on the Mac. In other words this is not linked to the iCloud preferences, but on the Mac itself.

MAC MAIL (smtp server - offline)

This is to address smtp server going offline:
troubleshooting steps:
Option 1.
- Mailbox - Take account Online
if that doesn't work...
Option 2.
- check smtp server
- Mail - Preferences - Accounts - Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
- remove current smtp server then add again
- take account offline then online
- quit and reopen Mac Mail
Option 3.
- delete and recreate account
Anyone experiencing the same problem? I have att.net. One email working with same smtp server. Other email setup, same att account with the same settings but smtp offline. Is this a Mac update issue? Time warner email accounts having the same problem.

Mail - SMTP Server Offline

I am unable to send emails from my new MacBook on Mail using the SMTP server. I have a hotmail account and the server has apparently been offline for about a week. I am able to receive emails with no problems but Mail is unable to connect to the outgoing server. Also, I don't know if it has any impact, but I believe that Microsoft are trying to phase hotmail accounts to Outlook. Any advice?

Thanks, but I found that thread but it made no difference.
I was able to find ports 25 and 587, but not 465 - if that matters. The text on ports wasn't terribly clear to be honest.
465 is not a supported port.
Here are the correct settings, are you using them?
Incoming (POP3) Server
Server address: pop3.live.com
Port: 995
SSL Encryption: Yes
Outgoing (SMTP) Server
Server address: smtp.live.com
Port: 25 (or 587 if 25 is blocked)
Authentication: Yes

User name: Your email address
Password: Your password
If you don’t want email to be deleted from your Outlook.com inbox after it’s downloaded to your email app, select the Leave a copy of messages on the server option.

Using BT Mail smtp server for non-bt account

Having recently discovered the hard way that I was migrated (and had no BT e-mail for 3 days), I have now discovered that all the authorisations I had set up for sending of e-mail fwith the senders address being a non-bt account have gone.
The help files point me in the direction of setting up BT Mail to get non-bt mail for me. This is not what I want. All I need is to authorize andrew@******.org.uk as an authorised user on my BT account. Thunderbird is quite capable of getting the mail from mail.****.org.uk with POP3. I just need to be able to use the BT smtp server for outgoing mail only.
Help Please
Andrew Johnson
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Appears to be working again with andrew@******.org.uk
I guess it was just a glitch.

Mail SMTP server not accepting password. Works on all other clients.

I am having issues with Mail and sending emails. Firstly I would like to say I have set this account up on Outlook 2011, Thunderbird and also Outlook PC and I can send and recieve with no problems.
On Mac mail I can recieve emails perfectly.
The account is set up with an SMTP Server. Our server requires authentication therefore I supply my username and password in there too. When I try to send an email mail says the server has rejected the password and asks for the correct password. The password I put in is correct, as it is the same password I have used on the other clients.
So there is something that Mail doesnt like when it comes this server and I cant work out what it is.
The only thing I thought of is that my password is all numbers. Could that make a difference?
Any ideas?

andrewrob,
I had the same problem and found that I had to unlock CAPTCHA here: http://www.google.com/ accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha.
This worked for me. If that doesn't work, you could try this:
1. Open Keychain Access (located inside the Utilities folder which is inside the Applications folder)
2. Highlight the login keychain in the white box to the left.
3. Click the lock above it to lock the login keychain.
4. Now unlock it.
5. Go back to Mail and enter your password again. You will probably have to do it once for incoming mail and once for outgoing mail.
I hope this helps!

Yahoo mail SMTP server connection to NZ? - WTF?

Having lots of trouble getting yahoo mail accounts to work. I noticed that when I input a Yahoo account and then check the SMTP server that the Playbook is assigning I get:
SEND.XTRA.CO.NZ
ummmm, as they say WTF? Why in the world would I be wanting to connect through some server in New Zealand?
This is just weird!

Hi,
But you can configure programs like Outlook Express to see your yahoo mails .
Isn't it the same thing ? No it's not the same thing.
Most of the 'free' mail services might allow you to access them via the POP3 and IMAP protocols to view your mail (and send), this is not the same as access the SMTP service.
APEX sends mails via the SMTP service, if Yahoo don't allow you to access their SMTP service (which they don't appear to allow, I checked) then you're not going to be able to do it.

I have an iphone 4. Cannot get mail. Server failed. How can I resolve this?

I have an iphone 4. When I go to my mail, I get a pop up that says "cannot get mail, server failed" how can I resolve this?

I guess he/she open Notes in Gmail settings. This archives (one way sync) notes in gmail account under notes label that is invisible if you are using the standard gmail setup on your iPhone. You can see it on desktop browser, Safari or gmail app in iDevice. Am I wrong?
Sorry for bad English.
