Mail wont send outgoing mail

Incoming mail is fine, but outgoing mail has error message :
Connections to the server “smtp.live.com” 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.
IS ANYBODY ABLE TO HELP??
Many Thanks

It's possible that your outgoing server use a different port than the default - I know that with Gmail, I have to use port 465 and with my iCloud mail I have to use port 587.
There should be a setup page with your email account that gives you the port to use and whether or not SSL is required and if the outgoing server needs to be verified with your account name and password.

.Mac Account in mail not sending outgoing mail

It is receiving but not sending out. It worked fine in the UK, but I am now in Canada....would this make a difference ?
Any help appreciated.

If the internet service provider you are using in Canada is different from the internet service provider used in the UK, yes.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings below for the .Mac SMTP server.
Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
If you are already using 587 for the Server Port and/or this doesn't work, have you relocated to Canada or are you just traveling there?

I recently purchased a mac mail address
Are you sure it's a .Mac address, or is it a MobileMe address?
i can not send mail to her new address
Are you trying to send mail to that address from a different address, or from her own address?
What are the specific settings for the account (Incoming and Outgoing servers, port numbers for each, authentication method, and SSL status)?

Mail 4.6 unable to send outgoing mail (second gmail account and hotmail account)

I am able to receive mails but I cannot send outgoing mails on my second gmail account and hotmail account. Both smtp shows that it is "offline."

Hi Slayzr
I am in the UK and eventually found the problem was due to my BT Home Hub Router.
I found this fix below on https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4604180?start=15&tstart=0
It worked for me. If you can't link to the URL, here is the body of the text
There's an issue related to the BT homehub that is providing a hostname that is "syntactically incorrect" for several smtp server.
Here's how you can fix it.
Using your internet browser, go to the address "192.168.1.254
- Follow instructions to reset your password if asked.
- Then go to "Settings", then "Advanced Settings" and "home network"
You will see there all the devices that are connected or that has been connected before. It's gonna be easyer if yout computer is the only one connected.
Your computer should have a name like "unknown-xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ...
Click on this name, chose another name without any special characters, like "macbook" for exemple.
And then click on "apply"
- restart your computer.
That should fix the issue.
Credit goes to vincentfromcork for providing me with the solution.

My (postage stamp icon) mail program will not send outgoing mail - only receives, what's up with that?

My (postage stamp icon) mail program will not send outgoing mail - only receives mail.
Says the outgoing mail server is wrong, but Comcast says it's right - what's up with that?
Is there a way to reload the standard (postage stamp icon) mail program?

Clearly there's something wrong with the configuration. Reverting to some other mail application (whatever the 'standard' one is...) won't help.
What does the Connection Doctor (Mail -> Window -> Connection Doctor) have to say about it?
Chances are your username/password for your SMTP server are incorrect.

IPhone won't send outgoing mail since upgrade to 5.0

iPhone won't send outgoing mail since upgrade to 5.0

I would manually go over each smtp setting and compare it with the mail providers guide
and if they were 100% the same then I would
get in touch with the phone company to verify if they were blocking the ports being
used by the mail service
there is no general issue with ios5 removing out going mail services or blocking ports

My phone won't send outgoing mail. Won't send some text messages and now when it's not on wireless and only 3g the internet won't load. Help!

These are ongoing problems. I really want to go back to my android. This moring the problem was sending outgoing mail. I have done a restart. I have cleared my cookies. Some text messages I have to send twice to non-apple phones. When I'm not on wireless and I'm on 3g there is no point in even trying the internet. Very disappointed in this phone.

if your having issue with your 3G service, then you should contact your cell phone provider as they handle cellular networks.
in the mean time you can try a reset, hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for you phone to boot back up.

CANNOT SEND OUTGOING MAILS FROM HOM

i am unable to send outgoing mails with my computer from home and other few locations. However, in other places such as public libraries, coffe shops, apple stores etc the outgoing mail works perfectly. does anybody know where the problem can be? i work from home and is getting me out of my nerves. Thank you for the help

Does web mail work?
Have you checked the outgoing mail server settings?
That's the smtp address of your internet provider.
You may need to change the outgoing mail server for each location.

Are you trying to send the pic with Messages or Mail?
If it's with Messages, this Apple doc might help ya out -> iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
If it's with Mail, you may have to try another email provider or connecting to the Internet over another network.

IPhone can send outgoing mail, Macbook can't from same wifi

I have a local wifi spot that I spend a lot of time at and all of the sudden I'm unable to send outgoing mail from my MacBook but ougoing mail works fine on my iPhone using the exact same wifi.
Mail works fine when I'm at home, and my house, as well as the public wifi have the same ISP. (smtp.cox.central.net)
The connection doctor has a green light on and says it's connected to all outgoing servers but stil won't send anything.
I've read tons of threads and have stumbled onto a couple hints to add the ISP's DNS numbers to my account settings, but I don't know how to do that.

The SMTP servers you're using will probably need to be adjusted, when you send from the local wifi spot. That or you need to use authenticated SMTP (like .Mac).

Taking contents in new incoming mail & creating new outgoing mail

im having 2 problems while trying to create an automator workflow.
1. take attachment from a new incoming mail message and pass it along to a new outgoing mail message.

2. take a piece of information from the incoming mail message and paste it into the (to:) section of the new outgoing mail message (each outgoing mail will have a different TO: based on the information they send me)
this is what i mean.

fax number: 5055555555
then i would like to take that information and have it sent to:
[email protected]
i'm tired so i wont know if this makes sense until after i take a nap. hopefully somebody can help... ive tried a million things to make this work... and still no luck.

HT5361 I am unable to start or select the MAIL app. No incoming mail and no outgoing mail. I do not even know how to get an answer without email. Can you help?

I am unable to start or select the MAIL app. No incoming mail and no outgoing mail. I do not even know how to get an answer without email. Can you help?

Thank you Carolyn, How helpless you can feel without this App!
Going into the App Store as you suggest, I see 'thee updates available", the first says, 'X RESTART', the second says, 'Garage Band, an error has occurred" (in red), and the third 'Memory Clean, UPDATE'.
Am I correct in thinking that OSX is the problem, because it is waiting for a restart?
Kind regards,
Cy

Mail wont send emails

Hi
I have had a look at some of the forums around trying to come up with a solution still I cant find one.
I have 1 email pending in my outbox and it wont let me send them saying my password is incorrect. It seems to be just recently when I changed my hotmail pasword. I have gone into the Mail preferences and changed the SMTP outgoing mail but it still comes up with it when ever i need to send an email.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Amanda

Is the problem that Mail will not send ANY emails or that you cannot Reply to some emails.
If the former, look at your SMTP settings (not just the SMTP address) to ensure that your port number and authentication type are correct for your current ISP. Being abroad might have reset these.
If the latter, look at the "Send To address" which Mail has infrequently corrupted since Panther.
Sometimes if you Reply to an email sent from: <[email protected]>, Mail creates the corrupted address: "[email protected]><[email protected]" <[email protected]> which will not send successfully.
