Mail will not send messages. Help please: it receives OK but parks my outbound stuff in either Drafts or Outbox
Thanks for your answer. Apprciate it very much. Just prior to receiving your email, I got back online. However, as I had tried what you suggested (and a lot more as I am 'reasonably' competent), and had been so doing since yesterday afternoon, I do believe that what you suggested was correct - that it was my third rate ISP that was at fault.
Nevertheless, many thanks once again.

Iphone e-mail will not send messages
My IPhone receives e-mail but will not send mesages. I've gone into the advanced mail settings but I don't see any outgoing settings. Can anyone help me?
Someone at RR told you it is RR that prevents using their SMTP server to send messages with their email account when connected to AT&T's EDGE network?
Did you try using 587 for the server port for RR's SMTP server on the iPhone?
Add 587 to the end of RR's SMTP server address separated by a colon.
smtp.addresss.com:587 -
I can not send messages on an iPad mini the send button stays light gray and will not send. I can receive. I reset and logged out and back inn with no results. It worked fine when we first set it up. Any suggestions?
Hello iMessage issues 1234,
Thank you for the details of the issue your daughter is experiencing with sending messages on the iPad. It sounds like you might have the Subject Field turned on. To disable this go to Settings > Messages > Show Subject Field.
iPhone User Guide - Messages settings
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iphf2d853e3
If the Subject Field is not enabled but messages are still not sending, I recommend continuing with the following article:

Please help!!! Ever since I upgraded to 10.5.2, Mail would not let me send any messages, attachment or no. If anyone wants to know, I use .Mac mail.
You have a .mac account, which you are accessing with the the application Mail?
If so, what Port are you presenting the outgoing server smtp.mac.com on? Have you checked that Port 587 is being used?

N91, will not send texts. help please
N91, this phone will make and recive calls, and recive texts, but comes up with "msg not sent" everytime you try to send one. Have tried different sims, with the same results! Can anyone help please
ThanksHi
I was told its a big that is being fixed. In the mean time to clear this delay out (that builds over time after alot of sms). Backup your DRM activation keys, contacts using PC suite (PC suite phone memory backup that backups phones ROM). Then do *#7370#. You will have to then re-install any SISX appplications you bought though, re-synch contactsetc

Mail will not send messages and dropbox quit syncing
I have a newer macbook pro with all updated current software. In the last 24 hours, I can't send an email. I can (and have) received email, but can't send any.
I first noticed this when trying to send a share invite on dropbox to a specific folder of pictures. It wouldn't go. Now I have come to realize all mail is incoming only and dropbox is no longer syncing across to my iphone with the new folders.
I deleted dropbox on my phone, reloaded. Still set on previous folder structure sans new pics
I deleted my mail account on icloud under mail/preferences, reset that with current everything.
Nothing. Just not sending emails.
I tried the connection doctor, it is showing that all outgoing communication links are not working (smtp?). Not sure what to make of that.
I've changed nothing other than to keep everything updated. Not sure I've even loaded in any new updates in about 5 days maybe?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
RobertI did all of the above. Internet connections show green as usual. No changes there.
I tried speedtest.net just to see if it pings and shows usual upload/download speeds, yep. Good to go there.
I can get online and do what I want to do. I can upload to facebook.
I was using Aperture 3 (recent updated version) to upload pictures to drop box and facebook. I'm wondering if there is some kind of conflict? As I look back, the moment when email and dropbox quit playing nice was right after I exported a fair number of pics to dropbox. Not sure why that would have anything to do with it, but it fits the timing perfectly.
I also turned off my icloud account, turned it back on and allowed everything to resync.
I've been sending test emails. I have a large number of emails sitting in the outbox, just waiting for what I don't know. I was really hoping the router reset would help.
Seems to be localized to mail and dropbox.
I'm open to any feedback and thoughts.
Thanks,

My Apple mail will not send messages any more.
It will receive. I called Comcast and they said it is an Apple problem because I could send from the comcast site. I am using OS X 10.6.8 on a 4 year old 15 inch MacBook Pro. This started last evening when I tried to send a 330 kb message. I deleted that one and tried others. Nothing will send.

My mail will not send emails. I can recieve them but it will not send. What do I do?
POP or IMAP? Make certain that you have your outgoing server, whether POP or IMAP, set up correctly.

My iPad will not send messages from mail
Mail will not send outgoing messages. Error message says client does not recognise or has wrong password.
Your SMTP server is likely not set up or set up incorrectly. Check that all is set up correctly in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > [your account] > Account > Outgoing Mail Server > Primary Server

Hi, I've had my iMac some time now but have only just set up the 'mail' option. I have definitely put in all of the correct details for all of my email accounts. I am able to receive email but it just will not send out any emails - from any of my 5 email accounts!
When I check the mail connection all is green (except for one of the outgoing servers for one particular email account). So why will it not send from the other outgoing server when it is green?! I use an iPhone and an iPad and my mail on those is fine (using exactly the same settings).
I have updated the software (as recommended by Apple for this particular problem) but it has made no difference. Every time I try to send it says 'Mail will not send with server...'
It's driving me crazy! Please help! Thanks.This may not help, but a few months ago I was trying to send a message to members of my professional organization, but kept getting a similar message. I exchanged correspondence with Tech Help at my server to no avail. I thought the problem might have to do with the quantity of receoients, so I started deleting a few at a time from the list and resending. All of a sudden, it worked!
I finally narrowed it down to one address that had been preventing the message from going out. After I deleted and exactly retyped the address, I never had another problem. Never understood what had happened.

Updated my phone, now e-mail will not send because server does not allow relaying
Updated iphone 3GS to iOS 5, now my company e-mail will not send "because server does not allow relaying". I'm just an employee, not an IT type - have no idea what this means and I'm very frustrated. Also infuriated with Apple because THEIR update caused this to happen, yet I have to PAY for their support because I have an older iPhone. Someone please help.
razmee209, thanks for your reply. After signing up for the community, I saw that I wasn't the only one. However, I think I've solved it by looking over the comments in reply to others with this problem.
First, I think the iOS5 update may have made the phone default to IMAP setting. I noticed when I deleted my account and re-set it up that there is a large button at the top for either IMAP or POP. It is already defaulted to IMAP, but my account must be POP. So this is the first thing to check when you're setting up your account.
Second, I noted some other comments about needing to supply a username and password to the outgoing server even though it says optional. I included those, but got a message that it wasn't recognized (or something like that) and did I want to continue anyway. I told it to continue. After a few seconds, it verified my account, and now everything works.
Hope this helps others having this problem. -
MacBook Pro 10.6.8 My @me account has been wiped of all mail, will not send or receive and iCal will not recognise user name or password even though i haven't changed it. All this after a scheduled software update. Any ideas??

Re: Macbook Pro 10.6.8 RAM Upgarde to 8 GB
The amount of RAM is not dependant on the operating system. It is all about the model of you Mac.
10.6.8 is the version of OS X that is installed on your system. It has no real baring on the amount of RAM that CAN be installed.
Personally I have never had good luck with Corsair RAM. I have always had good luck with Crucial and Kingston.

Mail will not send mail, only receive.
I have spent the majority of today re-installing OS X and all necessary updates, music, data after the death of a hard drive. Luckily everything went perfectly, except for the same problem I had with Mail even before the 1st hard drive died. Mail will not send mail, only receive.
All efforts time out and give me this message: "The connection to the server mail.earthlink.net on port 25 timed out"
Mail used to send messages, but stopped suddenly in 2004 and has yet to start again. Any idea guys?! I can't figure it out, under Account settings I have necessary fields filled in: Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) is set to "mail.earthlink.net", Server Port is set to 25, and Authentication drop menu is set to None.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
--DANIELThis is NOT a problem with Mail or OS X. This is an incorrect settings problem - garbage in = garbage out and this information is certainly available at Earthlink's website and Earthlink also provides technical support.
Earthlink has an authenticated SMTP server they changed to long ago.
SMTP Server: smtpauth.earthlink.net
Server Port: 587 but 25 should work if you are using Earthlink as your internet service provider for connecting to the internet.
Use SSL: Off or not selected.
Authentication: MD5 Challenge-Response
User Name: Your ENTIRE Earthlink email address.
Password: The account's password - the same password used to check the incoming mail server for new messages. -
