Migrating from Entourage and now can't send mail except from  Mac account

I've just started using Mail after using Entourage for many years and I must say it's been a frustrating start (having separate applications for Mail, Address Book and Calendar is a pita so far). But most importantly I can't get Mail to allow me to send mail from any account other than from my .Mac account (no problems receiving mail). I'm using the same outgoing server settings as in Entourage but no joy - I get an error message saying it can't use the outgoing server. I have no problems with this in Entourage. For example, from Entourage I can send mail using my BT Internet account or my Bulldog Home account using the following outgoing mail server settings:
SMTP SERVER: mail.bulldoghome.com
ACCOUNT ID: [email protected]
PASSWORD: my email password
Also, how do I access my hotmail?

Ok here's another one. When I delete a mail retrieved from a non Mac mail account (eg my BT Internet account) and empty my Trash in Mail it does not delete the email off the (BT Internet) server. I have not checked "remove copy from server after retrieving a message" so that I can access the email from multiple locations. But when I do delete it I obviously want it removed from the server.

  • HT1694 Changed password on email account, including in mail settings,and now can't send mail from iPad

    My email account account(msn.com) was hacked so I changed my passwod at msn.com and then als0 changed it on myiPad under settings/mail.
    Now I cannot send email or photos with email.
    Suggestions? I only have an iPad as I am traveling.
    I can send emails if I sign in through Safari.

    Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

  • I just switched to android from iphone and now can't receive any messages from iphone

  • I just changed to Mavericks and now can't e-mail photos from iPhoto

    Trying to open attached photos brings a response of "the file could not be opened because it is empty".

    How about some details - What version of iPhoto? What email client are you using?
    Trying to open attached photos
    Please explain. And how does opening attached photos relate to emailing photos?

  • I just updated my IPad to iOS 5 and now can not send email. The error message says the server rejects the address which is not true Asti sends on my desktop.

    I just updated my iPad to iOS 5 and now can't send email- I have tried the obvious but no luck. Any suggestions?

    Usually 'authentication required' means that you need to submit a username (or e-mail address) and password to the e-mail server, when sending a message. This logic is not different between Outlook and Thunderbird, and even with the latest and previous version of Thunderbird.
    Of course you can try the previous version again to see if it solves the problem, although you'll be less secure because you would be missing the latest fixes.
    If you'd be willing to get back to Thunderbird, say if your frustration level with your new app would increase too much, please see our article [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cannot-send-messages cannot send messages] for further help.
    In all other cases I'd appreciate it if you could mark this as answer so we know you don't need further help.

  • Just updated to Yosemite and now can't open mail, or finder or others.  That wheel,just goes round and round

    i just updated to Yosemite and now can't open mail or finder or other apps.   Wheel just goes round and round

    I just uninstalled it and am waiting for it to reinstall. I sincerely hope that I have not lost everything that I worked on so hard. Now that mobile me is gone, I have not been able to go between devices to transfer things. I was merely trying to take a document I had worked on and open it in pages, but it said my version was too old. When I updated, it wouldn't load. Now I cannot do anything. I hope that the reinstall fixes it without losing everything. Please advise!!! Yes, I am in panic mode.

  • Firefox Proxy... now can't send mail

    I was messing around with firefox yesterday, and finally was able to connect it to a proxy server I set up at home, but now I cannot send mail from Mac's Mail App. I am using MobileMe. I did not change any proxy settings in safari or ethernet settings in system preferences. But it is just a very strange coincidence that the same day I changed my firefox proxy, I cannot send email. (I can receive just fine) Any ideas what's messed up?
    I went through and made sure all my SMTP settings are correct per: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1152

    Set it up again, get current settings from you mail provider.

  • HT204406 i purchased music from itunes and now itunes will not open on this mac.  is there a fix for this?

    i purchased music from itunes and now itunes will not open.  how do i get it back?? 

    Hmmm. There's a couple of things that might be going on with that one.
    Let's try an uninstall and reinstall of QuickTime first.
    If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel. Select "QuickTime", click "Change" and then click "Remove".
    If you're using & or Vista, head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select QuickTime, and then click "Uninstall".
    You can get QuickTime back either via Apple Software Update (in your Start menu go "All Programs > Apple Software Update" ... QuickTime should appear in the "New Programs" section), or by downloading a QuickTimeInstaller.exe from the following location:

    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.

    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • FaceTime 1.1 deleted from Lion and now can't get it back! Help!

    I deleted Facetime as thought it wasnt working and could just download it from the mac store. Now i realise it was apples servers messing it up and now dont have Facetime and cannot download it from the apple store as they only provide 1.0.2 version and Lion comes with 1.1 Can someone send me the App? or give me any help without downloading Lion again beause i have a very slow internet connection. I was told that i can use Lion recovery and use the Reinstall Mac OS X option i can do it that way but it will download it all again first but will that do a new install or just replace the current setup?

    Sorry to hear that I don't know what say now.
    When I upgraded to Lion the only issues I had was facetime didn't work, and IPhoto would hang with the dreadful beach ball spinning. LOL!
    I removed facetime three time installed Lion with the installer, booted from HD into recovery, and from a DVD without any problems. The DVD took one hour to install.
    The problem with Facetime on my system was the host file (fixed), and IPhoto fixed itself after three hangs with a reboot.
    The lion is running smooth now.
