Mail won't send failed outgoing messages to Outbox; and another prob.

When I try to send mail and the server isn't recognized Mail won't put it in the Outbox until it can be sent. It says that the message can't be put in outbox.
Also, Mail won't create new folders unless it's a smart folder.
This is a brand new computer.
Any advice?
Thanks

Welcome to the Discussions. Searching the Discussion is a powerful tool. Recently a similar report was discussed, and at least one resolution found, based upon the fact that the Mail folder was missing the Mailboxes folder, where both the Outbox.mbox AND On My Mac mailboxes (New Mailboxes) must be stored. Read:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1591253#1591253
If this is also the case with your Mail folder, it would be most interesting to try to explain why the Mailboxes folder was missing in these particular instances. Please provide any thoughts, or insight into actions that might have led to this.

    Hello Bill,
    Who is your eMail provider, the part after the @ sign?
    In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the message?
    Then click the Show Details button & Check again.

  • Mail won't send.  Just sits in outbox

    Mail does not send.  Messages sit in outbox.  Account settings have not been altered.  I don't get any error messages when I hit send button.

    What email provider are you using? It appears your outgoing mail server is incorrect. One possible solution is to delete the account and add it again.

  • Apple Mail won't send outgoing messages

    I recently had my computer sent in for repairs and when i got it back I had to set-up mail again. Before I sent it out mail was working perfectly but now after setting it up the exact same way it won't sent any outgoing messages. When I send them they go straight to the outbox. I am using Tiger 10.4.10

    Sorry, but you are posting in the Mail for Leopard discussion. You'll probably get better help in the Mail for Tiger discussion.

  • My mail won't send...

    Hi,
    My mail won't send on my laptop.  There is spinning next to "Send" but the message remains in the outbox.
    I deleted and readded all email accounts.  This did not solve the problem.
    I started a chat with Apple Express support and they said that Lion doesn't support Apple mail so they couldn't help.
    I can send via webmail.
    I can receive mail.
    One error message I receive after it has tried to send the message for awhile is:
    Connections to the server “mail.smtp.me” on the default ports timed out.
    Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent.
    My password and username are correct; however, the following error message appears in the Connection Doctor window:
    Trying to log in to this SMTP account failed.  Verify that the username and password are correct.
    Does anyone have a real fix for this issue-it doesn't happen all the time, but has been happening every day for the past week and I need a reliable program to send mail.
    Thanks.
    lsb

    Becky,
    Check your smtp server and check if your password is added. After ungrading Mail might have lost the password. 

  • Mail won't send mail when in wireless mode but works fine when wired

    Ok, this happens all the time. I have several pop email accounts, all of which work fine when I am hooked in to an ethernet cable, but Apple Mail won't send any of my outgoing mail form any of my accounts when i'm am working wirelessly.
    I always get a message like:
    Cannot send message using server smtp.name.net
    I try to switch servers and I cycle through all of them, getting them same message, followed by things like:
    The server response was: 5.1.2 Bad or missing RCPT domain k39sm5757680wah
    Any advice.

    Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list. Leave checked (enabled) only the port configuration needed to connect to Internet and Built-in Ethernet (in that order if not the same), uncheck (disable) the rest of network port configurations and see whether that helps — if it doesn’t, turn ON again the ones you want enabled.
    You may use “network locations” to more easily switch between network settings if necessary, as described here:

  • Apple Mail won't send invitations when initially closed

    I just started using iCal to send invitations for appointments through Apple Mail. When Apple Mail is opened already when I create the appointment and click Send in iCal, it works fine. The mail is sent and delivered to the appropriate address.
    But if Apple Mail is closed initially, the application starts and the invitation is queued up in the Outbox but is never sent. I can manually open up each invitation in Mail and send them individually, but why is the behavior different? Whether Mail is opened or closed when I send an invitation, it ought to deliver the invitation automatically. By not being sent, I may not realize the invitation hasn't been delivered, making the process very error-prone. Is there a way to guarantee the invitation actually gets sent without having to check the Outbox every time?
    Is this an iCal bug or an Apple Mail bug? I saw no settings in Apple Mail for sending messages at shutdown or any other setting like this. Instead, these invitations may end up being buried in my Outbox for a very long time before I notice and by then, it may be too late.

    The most recent OS is currently OS 10.8.3.  Your system profile confirms you are still using Mac OS X (10.7.5).  If this is incorrect, please correct your profile so that you will get the correct troubleshooting suggestions/solutions. 
    Also, post in the OS/Mail forum of whichever OS is currently installed on your MBP.  It's where the OS/Mail expert helpers hang out at. 

  • Mail won't send but Connection Doctor says smtp account OK.

    Mail won't send but Connection Doctor says smtp account OK.
    I can receive mail but can't send it from Mail 3.5. Same problem on a wired G5 and on a wi-fi MacBook (using the same account), so not hardware related. Worked fine 'till today - I didn't change anything in between times. Incoming mail no problem. Tried mail rebuild, keychain first aid, deleting the account, repair disk permission - doesn't help.
    Mail's connection doctor says "smpt.xxxxxx - connection to server succeeded, no login required."
    Anybody any ideas? Thanks, N

    Been having the same problem for a few weeks now. This has been working just fine, and all of a sudden - nothing. The update to 10.5.6 didn't do anything to fix this either.
    I've spent numerous hours on the phone with the Apple support. Seeing as the two other accounts that I have configured work with no problem, they say that this is a problem with the provider which is also the ISP. I then called the support line for the ISP and informed them of this and they say that it's a problem with the software.
    Interestingly, if I send a message to somone with the same ISP, the message will go. But I can't send a message outside of the provider. Does anyone else have this problem?
    Also, from another forum, they suggested rebuilding the LaunchServices database. The Apple support didn't see what that would do. But I tried it anyway and the problem still exists.
    Another intesting thing is certificates. It's only happened twice, but I've received the message saying that Mail can't verify the certificate XXXXX which validates the identity of the smtp. Anyone else get this? I thought perhaps I could delete the certificate and it would magically reappear. But when I go into KeyChain, the certificate is listed only under System Root and I can't delete it.
    ideas?

  • Mail won't send to Yahoo Japan

    When I try to email my boyfriends PC, Apple mail will not send the message. It tells me to ensure I have entered the address in correctly, which it is, but it will never send the email.
    His PC address ends with @yahoo.ne.jp
    but I can email his phone address, which is @d8.dion.ne.jp
    Anyone know why Apple mail won't send to yahoo?

    For some reason, Mail prevents sending to multiple
    addresses (if they're in a group) if you've indicated
    in "preferences" (under "composing") that you do not
    want addressees' names to be shown in the "to" field.
    The only way to send to a group is to allow the names
    to be shown.
    I, and others, have mentioned this ever since Mail
    arrived. Apple has not yet fixed the
    bug.
    This royally bites! I had this same problem before, and was told that by upgrading to Mail 2, (Tiger), it would fix this!
    I sure as heck don't want all the names listed, that is very unprofessional.
    Will it work if the addresses are "shown", but are in the BCC window?

  • TS3276 Mac Mail won't send emails with signatures

    My Mac Mail won't send emails with signatures. I get the "whoosh" sound and they show in sent mail, but the recipient doesn't receive them until I take off the signature and resend the email. Without a signature, it is received. It never used to be a problem, but started this past month. Please advise!

    Did Earthlink have you try using their authenticated SMTP server?
    If not, try changing Earthlink's SMTP server settings to the following:
    SMTP Server: smtpauth.earthlink.net
    Server Port: 25 or 587. Assuming Earthlink is your ISP, 25 should work.
    Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): Off or not selected.
    Authentication Type: MD5 Challenge-Response. Not sure if this authentication type is available with 10.2 and if not, select Password.
    User Name: Your entire Earthlink email address.
    Password: The password for your Earthlink email account - the same password used to check the incoming mail server for new messages.
