Mail SMTP Settings

I am having issues with sending mail since I switched from MobileMe to iCloud.  The port setting is OK but outbound mail keeps on getting rejected, possibly for pw issues.  This is also happening in Mail and in Thunderbird email.  I've tried everything and had to change my pw.  Any suggestions truly appreciated.  Thanks. 

Try deleting the iCloud account from your mail preferences, Then adding it back.

  • Issues with Mac Mail & smtp Settings

    For the past several days, I have had issues sending from Mail.  I get an error message that mail cannot connect to the server.  I've removed and re-added the outgoing mail settings and the smtp setting is correct.  I've installed all updates and shut down and restarted numerous times.  Every now and again, a message will get through and send very slowly, but most of the time, it just tells me it cannot send and offers me the chance to "Try Later" or "Try with Selected Server." 
    Anyone else experiencing such issues - would love to know troubleshooting advice.
    Thanks!

    Hello kgoody,
    I have not been able to use my mac mail for 2 months now because of the server issue. "Try later" or "Try with selected server " were at the beginning of this nightmare. Since then I have not received a single email in the inbox. I downloaded an article "How to use Gmail with Apple's Mail" by Stephen Korecky and tried to fix the problem. It did not work because the Apple Mail windows did not show what they were supposed to. I called my software wizard and he said he will have to come and fix it. He did not show up yet. It is very frustrating.

  • SMTP Mail Adapter settings

    Hi Experts,
      I have small doubt regarding SMTP Mail Adapter settings.
    Right now i am sending files in attachment to the Users through SMTP.
    But  now User needs in MIME type for which i can see settings in Security Parameter.
    I can see is S/MIME, when i flag that i can see Duration like Days, hours, minutes, seconds.
    Could you please tell me what is the significance of it.
    Appreciate for your suggestions
    Regards,

    Hi,
    >>>What does Duration means is that if i give duration that security archiving works for that duration
    nothing for now - this functionality does not work so it makes no difference what does it mean

  • SMTP settings - Mail Accounts

    Hi,
    I'm re-installing Leopard on my MacBook Pro from zero.
    Got a backup on an external HD.
    Need to know where the:
    - info regarding smtp servers is stored - had 22 different smtp settings for several locations (filename/extension)
    - info regarding Mail Accounts
    Thx,
    Cheers,

    Hi,
    I know that the SMTP server settings are correct as they work correctly for the work email account. The home account (that is not working) uses these same settings.
    In the iPad OS when you go into the Mail settings and click through to the menus to get to the SMTP servers there is a primary smtp server specified this is globally used across all the mail accounts. As I say I know that my settings for this are correct as it works for the work account.
    I have however taken your advice and confirmed with my service provider and re-entered all the smtp settings to this primary server and the iPad confirms that all the details are verified, however I still get the same problem with the work emails sending correctly and the home ones stuck in the outbox. To me it appears that the problem is not with logging onto the smtp server the problem is with the iPad actually sending the message to server.
    Any other suggestions?

  • Check SMTP SETTINGS:tap settings:mail, contacts, calendars: no respons, dead

    check SMTP SETTINGS (iPad1): tap settings: mail, contacts, calendars:  NO RESPONS! THE SCREEN FREEZES AND BLOCKS!!! I've aready done a hard reset but no actions when I tap settings: mail-contacts-calendars.  HELP !!

    Since two days ago, my battery indicator has been indicating 100% until the phone dies, which seems to be one of the symptoms you're describing.
    However, I don't use Push emails; my email client is configured to poll an imap server and has been that way since I got my phone over 6 months ago. To be on the safe side, I turned off Push anyway, but I'm still having the problem. Definitely 3.0 related as I've never had this problem before.
    Perhaps it's linked to an app? Personally I don't have a whole lot of them installed: Aurora Feint, fstream, twitterific, flixster, wikipanion, google earth, urbanspoon, STM Mobile, iDicto, Air Sharing, Facebook and Apple Remote. I've removed a few and will see how it goes.

  • Duplicating SMTP settings in Mail

    I have four different email accounts with my ISP. They do not allow me to use a single SMTP server; that is, if I have
    myname @myISP.com
    adifferentname @myISP.com
    anotheraddress @myISP.com
    finalname @myISP.com
    I can't simply use the SMTP settings for myname @myISP.com for all four of them: I have to create SMTP servers for each and every one of those email accounts (if the email address doesn't match the User Name--i.e., adifferentname @myISP.com with myname & password--the SMTP server rejects it). Since the settings are identical except for the User Name, is there any way to simply duplicate an existing SMTP server setting and just change the user name info?

    Ok, let me be exact. I use GoDaddy as my ISP I have several email account created there. I have one set up on my apple mail and works fine. ([email protected]).  I opened a new account with the exact settings ([email protected]) only the name different and passwords are different. All the same settings, SSL ports etc. One works the other not. OMG now my comcast.net account is also timing out!

  • Mac Mail Outgoing SMTP Settings for Exchange account

    I can't seem to get my Mac Mail client outgoing smtp settings correct. I am receiving fine but cannot send. My companies IT person does not have any Mac experience and has asked that I use webmail. Please help.

    Thank you sooo much for getting back to me. I am back to trying to figure this out.
    I have tried to set it up with the mentioned settings without success.
    I think the problem is with the Outgoing Mail Server address that was given to me by the IT person - "webmail.outdoordimensions.com".
    Typically, when setting accounts up, I have used an address respective to the web access provider - i.e. "smtp.att.yahoo.com". However, this "Exchange" account is something very new to me.
    Thanks again for your help. Also what is "TLS-wrapped"? I didn't find a setting option for this.

  • SMTP Settings Mail.App 10.9?

    Where are SMTP settings in Mail.app for Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9?
    Before, it was in Mail menu -> Accounts... -> <email account> -> Advanced. But no longer...

    dianeoforegon:
    You are correct, the SMTP settings are available in Mail menu -> Preferences -> Accounts.
    But if you go to Mail menu -> Accounts..., they are not.
    Thanks.

  • Mail loses SMTP settings

    Mountain Lion 10.8.1
    I have six email accounts configured in Mail.app (plus one inactive). From time to time, maybe once a day, Mail loses all SMTP settings. Accounts are shown as having no servers linked to them (though the "Use only this server" box is still checked).
    One peculiarity is that one of my servers advertises an SSL port, but I can't use that port (long story). When I edit my SMTP server list, the use-SSL box has checked itself. When I uncheck it, and then go through that and the other accounts to re-select their SMTP servers, I can send mail again.
    I can dream up an explanation for why this should be the case for that broken server, but I don't understand how that should affect the other accounts (including one Exchange account).
    Does anyone have a suggestion for how I can get back to stable behavior? A flaky mail connection makes me nervous.
    This did not happen under Lion.

  • Multiple email accounts auto sync no smtp settings transferred

    I have about 7 email accounts set up in Mac Mail. When I sync these to my iphone the outgoing server (smtp) settings don't transfer and I need to type in each one for each separate account. Really quite a pain.
    Anyone know how to make the outgoing server info sync over automatically so that it's the same as what I set up on the computer?
    Thanks

    Hi, thanks.  They're not. One is a hotmail account and one a BTconnect. I can see what you're saying... the outgoing primary mail server in settings is set differently for each account.
    The outgoing server for hotmail is set at smtp.live.com and the BTconnect is smtp.btconnect.com.
    If I go into outgoing servers on the hotmail account it allows me to turn off all other servers listed, including the BTconnect one.  BUT when I go into the BTconnect one to turn off the hotmail one, it's greyed out and won't let me... very confusing/frustrating!

  • An error occured while sending mail: SMTP server error.  The server responded: (null)

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

  • TS3899 View POP & SMTP settings in the iPhone 7.1 iOS?

    View POP & SMTP settings in the iPhone 7.1 iOS?
    After successfully configuring email, POP and SMTP server info becomes unavalible.
    How can we setup the same email POP and SMTP on a new phone.
    I'm trying to setup @LIVE.COM via yahoo. I was successful on a previous phone:
    pop.mail.yahoo.com
    smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    NO GO....................!
    Sadly when I setup email via @LIVE.COM, MS did not provide POP nor SMTP and I was directed to use someone besides MS (Microsoft)

    Hey rommy88,
    Thanks for the question. You are correct, the option to disable Voice Dial is located in Settings > Passcode (before iOS 7.1, it was located in Settings > General > Passcode). You can also choose to disable Siri access from the lock screen:
    Siri settings - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph634dd0e14
    Prevent access to Siri when iPhone is locked. Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode (iPhone 5s) or Settings > Passcode (other models). You can also disable Siri by turning on restrictions. See Restrictions.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Can't reset SMTP settings on account preferences - inactive/gray

    I hope you can help.
    It looks like Mail was updated (great in theory, bad in practice), and now I can't send from Mail. I get the error message : "SMTP settings are not sete, please use Accounts Preferences panle to set SMTP options.
    So, I dig out my incoming server, pop.mail.yahoo.com and my ourtiong mail SMTP server info: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    But when I go to Preferences/Accounts, it won't let me make any changes. All the fields are gray and inactive, except for "E-mail aliases" which I tried and nothing happened.
    Help! All advice is greatly appreciated!
    Amy

    Amy,
    First of all, I don't know what you mean by "Mail has updated"-- please explain? if you mean Mail has suddenly opened as though new, then you may have an issue with available free space on your hard drive, or if partitioned, on the boot partition. Check free space if this is what happened.
    As for the grayed out entry info, it appears you proceeded into setting up the account in the Preferences with the Account Type set to .mac, which of course, is not what you would use for a Yahoo account.
    More info, please.

  • ISP vs. Webmail SMTP settings on email setup

    Afternoon,
    For no discernable rhyme or reason, when eFusion based email addresses (connected to a newly built website post-launch) are being setup on clients computers/various devices, the outgoing mail server setting has to be set as their ISP's mail server and not the suggested (as per the setup guide @ http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/kb/email-configuration-guide6.html) mail.clientsdomainurl.com in order to work.
    There doesn't seem to be a pattern of whether the mail services are actually run through adobe, or if its another 3rd party or exhange server in-house.
    What are you experiences or advice in how to determine if the ISP smtp will be required, or even why it would be required for email hosted by BC to work?
    Thank you

    Some ISP's will not allow the relay of outgoing email to another SMTP address (perhaps to stop spammers sending remotely through their servers). The use of the SMTP address provided by your ISP is usually fine as there's no operational relationship with your incoming mail server. It's more a pain when you are on mobile, moving between ISPs in different regions, and having to update your SMTP settings on the go.

  • Mail SMTP port problems.

    This is driving me nuts.
    Send an email, it fails and Mail pops up a question on which SMTP server to use.  I choose "Edit SMTP Server List". 
    Select "Advanced".  My port is already using "Use Custom Port" set to 25.  Yes, I know that is offered in the default, but it won't work.  I select the default and close.  Try to send the mail and it fails as before.  I then set it back to custom port 25 and it works.  ARRRGHH!!!!
    I've deleted and reinstalled the SMTP server multiple times and I get a month or so of peace before this BS starts all over.
    This all started when my ISP (Mountain Cable) got bought out by Shaw.  That may be a coincidence or the problem. 
    Any ideas?
    A solution to this will earn my eternal grattitude and reams of good kharma.

    I wish it was just a matter of the right settings in the mail client. However, I was working with another NOC engineer and one of our IP admins for hours, testing every possible setting in Mac Mail, Entourage and Thunderbird. Using SSL, Password authentication, SPA off, port 537, it works on Outlook Express and Thunderbird for Windows. Using the exact same settings, no mail client works on the Mac. That's why we reached the point of creating a custom configuration file on a modem, packet sniffing at each point in the connection and monitoring the SMTP logs... to make sure there wasn't something on our network that was interfering with Mac's that would not affect Windows.
    It's not just a matter of getting the mail client settings correct, otherwise the exact same settings that work for OE would work in Entourage, and the exact same settings that work for Thunderbird for Windows would work in Thunderbird for Mac.
    Thunderbird for Mac was the most helpful in trying to track this down, because it said that the server did not accept the authentication request. However, the SMTP server shows that no attempt for authentication from a Mac even reached the server, and as far as we can tell, the attempt at password authentication on port 537 never even left the Mac and reached the router or modem, for any mail client used.
