Mail suddenly no longer able to send mails

Ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, Mail refuses to send my mails via my standard provider. I get the error message that the provider rejected my password. Which is odd, since there is no password required to send mails.
Not being able to get this solved, I bypassed the problem by having Mail send my mails via my GMail account. I know, this is a bit awkward for the people receiving my mails, but it works.
Or at least, for the past few months it worked, and now, all of a sudden, I get the exact same error message for mails I am trying to send via GMail!
As far as I know, nothing has changed. I have not done any system updates recently (at least not in the last few days, and yesterday, Mail still worked properly).
When I had the problem with my provider some months ago, I browsed the support pages, but nothing the pages said, solved the problem. I fiddled about with my account settings until my fingers were numb and I had depleted every possible suggestion, but to no avail.
Anyone else experience this problem? How did you get it to work? Or is this a rather annoying bug in Mail that Apple needs to solve asap?
Thanks for your feedback.

Please, turn off caps lock, screaming in your post is not necessary. What's your email client? Webmail? Outlook Web App? Try to delete the Firefox cache and test.

Can receive mail but stopped being able to send mail

I can receive mail on my MacBook Pro, but, after 3:03PM on 9/26/2014 I stopped being able to send mail. I get the follingg dialog box.
Interestingly enough the data in this dialog box is out of date. My ISP at this location is not Verizon and there is no mention of iCloud. Nonetheless mail has worked without incident at this location for two years. At my office where I have a MacPro (4.1), Verizon is the ISP but, I believe, iCloud is the other listed server. (Im not there right now, so I ca't check). Incoming and outgoing mail work perfectly at that location. Both computers are rurnning OS 10.8.5. I'd appreciate any insight anyone might Have,
Thanks,
Stephen

Hello Stephen,
If you are having issues with sending and receiving email, check out the first two articles to get it sorted out. Also look at the third link and look at the time at which you were having issues as it may be related to an outage of service.

Apple Mail just stopped being able to send mail?

No settings have changed. Worked fine a couple days ago. Yesterday, I noticed Mail getting extremely slow about sending mail, now it will not at all.
Plus, I am not being prompted to enter my password. I think this is the issue, but how can I force Mail to prompt me for the password when it used to do it automatically?
I use the Mail app for work and can no longer use it at all.

Not much to go on here, and why would you need to be repeatedly prompted to enter any password?
Who is the provider of the SMTP you are using as the Outgoing Server, and what Port are you presenting it on, and with what type of Authentication, if any?

HT1277 My Mail page no longer receives or sends mail. This happens on occasion and then returns. This never happens to my husbands page with whom I share the computer.

I have a MacOSX version 10.7.4.
My Mail page for no reason decides to not send or receive my emails. I have two email addresses and for no reason they just stop and I am forced to go to my aol page on Safari. Then after a month or so they appear back on my Mail page.
Nothing seems to cause. I can just open my page and there is a z beside the address.
I have tried to fix it by reconfiguring my email account, but it does not accept it.
Thanks for any help

Hello,
In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the exact message?
Then click the Show Details button & Check again.
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.
You may have multiple entries.
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, enter the part after the @ sign in the search bar, hit enter
The Password rejection can confuse people since it's a catch all meaning...
This Password, Username, Authentication method... is not recognized on this Port to this Server, more than one entry in Keychain for each in/out entry, or a server end problem.
If using a browser to login via WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but one of the other ones.
The receiving email ports are:
IMAP is port 143
IMAP-SSL is port 993
POP is port 110
POP-SSL is port 995
Outgoing ports are...
SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Can you send email from that account on another device?
- You can try deleing the account from the iPod and reentering the settings.

My N97 is no longer able to send outgoing e-mail t...

After a hard reset, my N97 is no longer able to send outgoing e-mail through my Gmail account. I had to set up my e-mail account again on the N97 after the hard reset. I created the e-mail settings with the mailbox guide. I can retrieve my e-mail messages but I am no longer able to send a new e-mail message.
Now, when I create a new e-mail message (Options, Create message, E-mail) and I select "Send" after creating the message, the N97 keeps trying to connect to my mailbox and gives up after several minutes.
Before the hard reset, I had no problems receiving and sending e-mail messages on my N97, using my Gmail account. What should I do to make it send new e-mail messages?
Solved!

Sounds like something is wrong in your settings,
Either delete the account from your phone and set it up again or use the G-Mail website help to find the correct settings and manualy check and adjust your phones outgoing settings to match
= =
I already tried those without working. I have deleted the account from my phone and set it up again. Also, I used the G-Mail website Help to find the correct settings and manualy check and adjust my phone's outgoing settings to match. It is not sending the outgoing e-mail messages. I keep getting this notice: Connecting to mailbox. After a while it stops without sending the e-mail message.
It wasn't like that before the hard reset.

Currently we changed the SMTP Server(mail.craftsmanautomation.com).we used anoth SMTP server to configure Notification Mailer.Because previous one(owa.craftsmanautomation.com) is not able to send mail's to outside domains.
But in this case we got the below error message while testing.Below error message we captured from the output file of the script Oracle Workflow ATG Support: R12 Java Mailer Setup Diagnostic Test.

With one mailbox server in the production site and one in the DR site, you do not have high availability. If the main site goes down, the cluster loses quorum and all databases dismount. You must then force quorum or move the file share
witness to restore quorum.
I can't tell you why what you observed happened. At the time of the problem I would have been looking at the transport queues to see what's queued and to where.
I recommend you look at the configuration of your send connectors to ensure that none of them are dependent upon the DR site server.
To send mail outside, you must allow relay. To do this, I recommend you create a new receive connector that's configured to allow relay and restrict access to the application server to keep anyone else from using it to relay. There are plenty
of articles on the Internet that describe how to configure a relay connector.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for your reply, Let me give you a detail on where we are stuck on send mail.
   We have a Schema called PORTAL
We are able to send mail from UTL_SMTP as mentioned below in a procedure
create or replace PROCEDURE send_mail (p_to        IN VARCHAR2,
                                       p_from      IN VARCHAR2,
                                       p_message   IN VARCHAR2,
                                       p_smtp_host IN VARCHAR2,
                                       p_smtp_port IN NUMBER DEFAULT 25)
AS
l_mail_conn   UTL_SMTP.connection;
BEGIN
l_mail_conn := UTL_SMTP.open_connection(p_smtp_host, p_smtp_port);
UTL_SMTP.helo(l_mail_conn, p_smtp_host);
UTL_SMTP.mail(l_mail_conn, p_from);
UTL_SMTP.rcpt(l_mail_conn, p_to);
UTL_SMTP.data(l_mail_conn, p_message || UTL_TCP.crlf || UTL_TCP.crlf);
UTL_SMTP.quit(l_mail_conn);
END;
Begin
send_mail('[email protected]','[email protected]','test','10.0.0.100','25');
End;
The above code works i am able to send and receive mails.
We also create ACL as mentioned below
begin
dbms_network_acl_admin.create_acl (
acl => 'http_permission.xml', -- or any other name
description => 'HTTP Access',
principal => 'APEX_040100', -- the user name trying to access the network resource
is_grant => TRUE,
privilege => 'connect',
start_date => null,
end_date => null
end;
commit;
SELECT * FROM dba_network_acl_privileges where principal='APEX_040100';
begin
DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.ADD_PRIVILEGE(acl => 'http_permission.xml',
principal => 'APEX_040100',
is_grant => true,
privilege => 'connect');
end;
commit;
begin
DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.ADD_PRIVILEGE(acl => 'http_permission.xml',
principal => 'APEX_040100',
is_grant => true,
privilege => 'resolve');
end;
commit;
BEGIN
dbms_network_acl_admin.assign_acl (
acl => 'http_permission.xml',
host => '10.1.1.100', /*can be computer name or IP , wildcards are accepted as well for example - '*.us.oracle.com'*/
lower_port => 80,
upper_port => 80
END;
But still we are getting same ACL Error Please suggest US
ORA-24247: network access denied by access control list (ACL)
Thanks

No longer able to retrieve mail

Hi All,
I'm recently having a problem receiving email on my Macbook Pro. (OSX 10.6.8).
Seemed to be working fine until a couple of days ago. Then, unable to connect to connect via wireless. Last night when I connected using an ethernet cord, it worked. Today, no luck with wireless or ethernet.
I AM able to send mail via wireless. I'm less than saavy when it comes to this stuff, and am completely stumped.
Any ideas what might be wrong?
Thanks,

How much mail are we talking about here? Roughly how many messages, and roughly how many gigabytes of mail?
Who is the mail provider? Is this a local provider on a local network, or one of the "free" providers, or something from your ISP?
Do you have free disk space on your OS X system here, or is it possible that your disk is getting full?
As for the usual diagnostics for problems with Mail.app, launch Mail.app and select the Connection Doctor from the Window menu, let it run, select More Details, and re-run the tests. Expunge any personally-identifying information and post the results here, if they don't make the trigger clear.
You can also try a mailbox repair pass; there's a Rebuild option in the Mail.app menus.
If the downloads are failing, then the usual trigger is the IMAP or POP password setup; there are two entirely seperate connections and two separate credentials and such; the send path (SMTP) and the receive (IMAP or POP) path. Usual triggers for problems are changes to the mail servers involved, or the mail ports, or the credentials needed; I've seen vendors change each of those, and forget to mention it to their users.
That OS X version is extremely old. (I don't have anything nearly that old to check the details fo the setup of that version; 10.6.8 is the oldest OS X version I have handy.)
