MAIL, unable to send

in NETWORK i have a window drop down saying 'your network settings have been changed by another application" how can I resolve this ? I note that my DNS sever numbers are changed , but I cannot clear the drop down window on the NETWORK to enable me to check or alter anything.
I also note that the connection to 'PoP'account to server on port 110 has failed.
I would be grateful for any suggestions.
Cheers.

I did BDAqua's suggestion
To stop the pop-up, Go to System Preferences: Security. Check the box next to "Require password to unlock each secure system preference." Then lock Security.

Mail, unable to send or receive

Unable to send email from MAIL using OS X 10.7.4
For the past couple months, I can recieve but cannot send email messages. Called sever,but was told the problem was with my mail program. On my Mac Book OS X 10.6.8 am able to send but not receive. Any ideas as to solving this dilema?

can you open mail, then preferences accounts please?
Then tell is your outgoing mail server the same as the account you are in? and is the box "use only this server" checked?
If not, it could be that- and then the various mail servers, instead of matching your account willl scramble at random..so no your dot mac mail will NOT go out on your aol server...etc.
See? Open it- then also tell how many mail accounts you have.

.Mac Mail Unable to Send

I am able to receive e-mail from mac.com account and from Mindspring. I can usually (but not always send mail from Mindspring. For the last several days I have been unable to send e-mail from mac.com account. Last night I tried for several hours to send e-mail from mindspring using MacBook Pro but was unsuccessful. In frustration, I re-typed the e-mail on my PC and sent it via mindspring without any problems. 2-3 hours earlier I was able to send e-mail through my MacBook. I changed no settings in the interim and obviously mindspring was working fine at the time. I am new to Mac and want to change my e-mail to mac.com but it has been wholly unreliable. ANY HELP?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
With each account, what SMTP are you using as the Outgoing Server? If for the .mac account you are using smtp.mac.com, are you presenting to on Port 587? If not, try changing to Port 587.
For the Mindspring account, are you using the Earthlink authenticated SMTP, or another?
More info, please.

Mail unable to send any emails

Hi,
In my office I have setup my MacBook Pro Mail. I can receive emails but can't send any out. I read that I should use Connection Doctor. I know my incoming mail server address but not the smtp. How should I trouble shoot?

guys refuse to share the outgoing server details. Hence, I am only able to retrieve my emails but am unable to send out.
Perhaps they are not clear on what settings you need? The settings you need are what any user with any computer (Mac, Windows, Unix, Linux, whatever) would need to configure their email program. You aren't asking for anything special here.
Consider showing the article I mentioned (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1277) to your IT person so he/she sees what it is your are looking for (and why...you want to use your email).
If that does not work you might want to seek someone higher up the IT chain to talk to (Or go to your superior and ask them to intercede as you are being denied what you need to use your tools.)
Asking for one's email settings is not like asking for nuclear missile launch codes from the US government. If you are someone who has an account given to you by your organization you need the settings to use the account assigned to you. Unless of course they intend for you to only be able to receive and not send. In which case, everything is as it should be.

Mail Problem: No outbox, no sent mail unable to send mail

I wiped my HD and restored my account from back up. All seems to be okay EXCEPT
When I open MAIL I have no OUTBOX, my SENT mail is empty and while it appears to let me create a new email and send it it does not go to outbox or sent mail, and no email goes out.
There is no activity from the mail activity pane on send.
I have deleted the mail.plist and the account and then added it back in. Same results.
If I switch to a admin/test account on the same device, MAIL works correctly.
Any thoughts?

I'm not sure it was a migration assistant malfunction. Last month I started using an iMac I purchased in May. Upgraded to Mountain Lion. Did not use migration assistant, but did import my mailboxes. They are in an Import folder and I can get to them when I want. Not the ideal situation, but I'll work on it.
However, I just realized that 13 of the messages I've sent in the last week never did get sent. Some messages I sent did go, others didn't. I realized the problem when I went to my Sent folder to get some info from an email I sent someone and could not find it. I did not see an Outbox in my list of folders on the left. However, when I did a search for the name of the person this email was to have been sent to, the email came up and indicated it was in the Outbox. The word Outbox was a link, so I clicked on it. THEN the Outbox showed up and contents included 13 messages I had thought were already sent!
After testing sending and receiving from my Webmail, I checked my account settings again to ensure they were correct; they were. I quit Mail and re-opened . . . and all those messages in the Outbox immediately were sent! My Outbox is still in the list of folders.
Before I switched to my new computer and updated OS, sometimes I would get a message that said the message couldn't be sent and it let me choose another server if I wanted. I would usually choose the same server and it would be sent when I hit go. I always thought it was a problem with the server for some reason. I want Mail to notify me if a message isn't sent when I hit Send. I don't see an option for that in Preferences. Any ideas? I really don't want to always have to double-check to make sure each message I sent goes in the Sent folder!
Thank you!

Able to recieve mail, unable to send mail

I am at a friends house for the next week and I am on the wirless network. I am recieving my mail from my website, but everytime I try and send something, mail gives me a error message that the outgoing server could not be found.
I changed my outgoing SMTP to match what they have in their MS Outlook, but still no joy. What do I need to do to fix it so I can send mail.

When I have this trouble I use a free G-mail account for the sending only. I still use the Mail app. You first sign up online for a Google mail (GMail) account then ADD it to your account list in Mail-Preferences with the correct SMTP settings for the GMail account (see below). Then under your ISP account choose the SMTP server that you just set up. The Mail app will then use that Gmail server for sending mail and still use your ISP server (POP) to get your mail. You can change it back when you return home. Let me know if you need more help with this.

Mail unable to send, Again

For the second time in six months I can't send any mail last time it was due to the cloud introduction but I don't know what has changed now. I just keep getting a message saying it can't connect to the server and stuff about certificates being out of date. Is there a way to fix this?

The servers changed on the switch to iCloud & dropping of MobilMe on July 1st, a very few stragglers have had recieve still work.
Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
• Server name: imap.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 993
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
• Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 587
• SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria: 8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers. If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message. Go to http://appleid.apple.com then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.

Outgoing mail unable to send "senders address invalid" how do I fix it?

I cannot send any mail from my icqmail /(aol ) accout. Every time I try to send mail it comes up 'senders address invalid'. Which I know it's not, but I can send mail trough my hotmail accout. I have my icqmail accout as default accout which is my main accout I need to be able to send emails! Help!

Hi..I am lucky, the Apple Store is right near me so I went to Genius Bar for help, we completey cleared out and reset my email accounts, AOL and .mac...basically started from scratch and let leopard set it up and then mail worked....However, then synching with my IPhone, I could not delete mail from my mail account...somehow some of the old server names were still there..so went in and deleted those.... and changed the setting save deleted mail on server to "no" and that solved it......
So my AOL in the Mail application is now working but I cannot attach in AOL..Called AOL and that seems to be a problem they are working on....

Mail unable to send 3 items but won't allow me to delete them

I tried to send out 3 separate photos. The emails keep trying to go out but don't make it. Mail has not put them into drafts and I can't delete them so it will stop trying to send them. So it always say "3 unsent messages" down at the bottom and constantly tries to send them out. How do I delete them???

The emails don't make it for what reason - any error message provided?
Do you have a wi-fi network at home and if so, the same when connected to your wi-fi network - the messages can't be sent?
Who is the email account provider for the account such as Yahoo, Gmail, etc.?

We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is: Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.

We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is:>> Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.

About ~20 hours later, this ended up solving itself. We can send email using the '.icloud' email from both the iPad and iPhone. Advise would be 'wait' before you start seeking alteranatives like yahoo, hotmail, etc. This definitely is a convenient way to keep all your 'cloud' information in a centralized place, including the common email...

Unable to send Mail from POP account

I have an Iphone 4 and have upgraded the IOS from 5-1 to 6.1.3. Since then I have been receiving all my mails but i have been unable to send mails from my POP account. the notification "Cannot Send Mail. A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The receipient, "xxyyzz @ gmail . com " was rejected by the server" displayed. Please Help. the same thing happens when I configure my POP account on my Son's Iphone4, and there is no problem in receiving and sending mails from my Outlook. Please Help!!!!!
Can i revert back to IOS5.1.1?????

Contact your email provider and get the correct settings to use for the outgoing mail server (SMTP) on a mobile device. If it's email provided by your ISP, they have likely blocked email from outside their network from relaying to prevent spam.

Unable to SEND mail using Activesync in Exchange 2010 server on iPhone or Windows Mobile 6.1

Hi All,
We've been setting up a new SBS 2011 server for a client this week. Everything is working, except the staff have 4 x iPhones to connect with Exchange ActiveSync.
There are 2 x iPhone 4's and 2 x iPhone 3Gs's. We can setup the Exchange accounts on each of the phones and they are all able to sync mail and calender etc with the server.
The problem we have is when any of them try to send mail from the phone, it gives an error : "Cannot Send Mail - An error occurred while delivering this message" and it sits in the outbox on the phone.
The newsgroups and forums are littered with people having issues with IOS4 and Exchange 2010 but most of these are from June-August 2010 when IOS4 version was around 4.00 or 4.01
A lot of these people had iPhone 3 handsets running with IOS 3.1.3 which worked with Exchange 2010 but when they upgraded to IOS 4, they had this problem sending mail.
It seems that for most of them, the fix came in the form of IOS version 4.1 which fixed the send issue for them.
We have a variety of Hansets and IOS versions (including an iPhone 3Gs running IOS 3.1.3) but are unable to send mail from any of them:
iPhone 3Gs    IOS 3.1.3
iPhone 3Gs    IOS 4.3.3
iPhone 4       IOS 4.3.3
iPhone 4       IOS 4.3.5
I was surprised that the iPhone 3Gs running 3.1.3 was unable to send either as nearly all the forums etc I read with this issue said the iPhone 3's worked with that IOS version.
Today we used a test iPhone 4 handset from our office to connect to an almost identical Small Business Server 2011 we setup two weeks ago for another client.
The test iPhone 4 was able to connect, Sync and Send email on that server but when set it to connect to this SBS 2011 server, it gets the "Cannot Send Mail" message the same as the others. So clearly the handset is working (on the other server at least),
it must be something misconfigured in this Exchange server right?
We ran the Exchange Remote Connectivity Analyser on the Exchange server and got green ticks across the board.
Outlook Web App and Outlook Anywhere both work normally. Everything we can test on the Exchange server works except sending from any iPhone.
Having said all that, I just setup a Windows Mobile 6.1 handset to sync with the Exchange 2010 server as a test, and it appears to have the same issue.
It will connect & Sync Mail, Contacts and Calendar but if trying to send an email from the phone, it will just sit in the outbox.
Does anyone have some insight into what the problem may be?

Further to this .. I found the solution on a MS Exchange 2010 support forum.
It was not a certificate or firewall issue, looks as thought the “Accepted Domains” in Exchange Mgmt Console –
Org Config – Hub Transport cannot have any spaces in the name field.
I had some spaces and the emails were not downloading fully and able to send. Once I removed the spaces from the Name field and
restarting the Exchange and IIS services emails were now being sent and received ok.

E72- Unable to send e-mail from work mailbox

I am unable to send e-mails from my work e-mail through my E72 although it receives perfectly. I have been in contact with Nokia via e-mail for the last 2 weeks and they have sent several suggestions to solve the issue but nothing is working. I have set-up my work e-mail on my husbands Blackberry with the same settings and can receive and send perfectly. From that I conclude there is no issue with the settings I have or my work e-mail but with
Nokia!! The latest 'help' I have received was to download a patch but I have no idea how to do this and get it onto my phone. So far Nokia have not replied to me.
Any suggestions how to get this to work would be greatly appreciated

If you're using a much older firmware, updating the phone would be a good idea. Find the Software Updates section of nokia.com and type your phone model. If you can't do an over-the-air update, download and install either the OVI Suite or the standalone Software Updater. This may hard reset the phone, so back up anything important with OVI Suite first.
Ignoring firmware for now, IMAP and URL's are like apples and oranges. If you work for a small company, the server may always be called " mail.mycompany.com", but IMAP will never use an HTTP or HTTPS prefix. URL's are typically associated with Microsoft Exchange servers. Within the email program, check Options -> Settings -> Mailbox settings -> Mailbox settings -> Advanced mailbox settings. Are "Outgoing email settings" set to something like
User authentication: Same as for incoming
Outgoing mail server: <compare to the setting for the Incoming server name; in a small company this will likely be the same>
Since you're getting far enough for the mail sever to reject your connection, the other settings should be fine as-is.
It does look like an authentication issue, so I'd say you're either hitting the wrong server or there's a bad username or password in there somewhere. If the Blackberry works with an IMAP connection, then you should be using the same server name(s), and user/password.
If all else fails, you can always try removing and readding the mailbox completely. Choose Menu -> Applications -> Email -> Settings -> <highlight your work account> -> Options -> Remove mailbox. And then set it up from scratch. I hope that helps a little!

I am unable to send mail from my Orange.fr account on my ipad add

Orange.fr lost personal data on Sunday, so I decided to change the password on my mail account which I did successfully can pick up and send mail via Thunderbird on my PC. However, I had to delete my orange account from the mail application as it would let me change the password in settings. I can now receive mail OK, but I an unable to send as I get the message that "That the username or password for "SMPT (email address)@smtp.orange.fr" is incorrect. I have checked the server settings against those on Orange.fr website, and they are correct. Any ideas what the problem is?

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Loaded Outlook mobile app and now I can't send emails through Mail ("Unable to verify account information" error message). Can't use the Authenticator number, either. Help!

I installed the Outlook mobile app on my iPhone using my Hotmail email address and the authenticator code. It works, but I can no longer send emails from Mail. I have not forgotten the password, so I don't know why I am unable to send messages from my mail email account (linked to Hotmail) in Mail. Should I delete the Outlook mobile app? Please help! Thanks.
