Mail won't send, and Outbox doesn't appear

About three days ago my mail stopped sending. When I compose mail everything goes as usual and no alert box pops up when I hit send. However, my mail isn't sending and the outbox isn't showing up to tell me the mail is still pending. I haven't found this problem on any other discussion forums. Is it a .me issue? If I use spotlight it will find unsent messages and says they are in the outbox, but there is no outbox in Mail. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Problem fixed itself inexplicably. Go figure.

Mail Won't Send from Account Selected

Having a real problem with Apple Mail. When using the From: account dropdown menu to select an account different from the default one, I expect that the recipient will receive the email as coming from that account. However, I just learned today that ALL email I send from Mail is using only the default account and completely ignoring whatever account I selected in the From: dropdown.
I also tried setting "Send new messages from:" to "Account Mailbox" in Mail Preferences, but, made no difference.
The exact same problem is happening on my partner's Macbook, who's running the same OS version I am: 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).
Anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it? Thanks!
Tom

I am also having the same problem that just started this morning. The mail is using my smtp server e-mail account from my serverice provider (Bell Canada) for all outgoing mail as the "From" and totally disregarding whatever e-mail account I select to send from. As I have 14 different e-mail accounts for different work activities, it is just not acceptable.
At first I thought it may be a problem with my service provider, but after 2 hours on the phone testing it with them, it is obvioulsy a system problem and not a server one. was there an update that changed something with the mail program??
I am also 24" iMac with 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB of 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM running Mac OS X 10.6.8

Mail will not send from outbox (sometimes)

Suddenly, with no changes made to mail, or anything else, I'm getting a pop-up everytime I try to send some mail from Mail.
Pop up states: "Cannot send message using server smtp.mac.com
Use the pop up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server. All messages will use this server until you quit Mail or change your network settings. "
Anyone? Coincidentally (or not) my .mac membership just got auto renewed. Wondering if it's connected to this problem.

Are you also accessing an email account and SMTP server with the Mail.app that is provided by your ISP used for connecting to the internet?
If so, are you able to send messages with this account?
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 button below for the .Mac SMTP server.
If 25 is entered in the Server Port field, change it to 587 and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
Coincidentally (or not) my .mac membership just got auto
renewed. Wondering if it's connected to this problem.
Possibly but more likely your ISP made a recent change regarding the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP without informing you.

Mail won't send from airports or hotels

My Mail always works perfectly at home, but when I travel I can't send emails from hotels or airports, most of the time, although I can always receive email. I don't understand it. Can anyone help?

Michael,
It is OK to report the name of the SMTP, but minus your username -- is it smtp.mac.com? If so, I think your problems will be solved by changing the Port number to 587, at least at most venues. Some may accept it on 25, as your ISP does, but often 587 will be required. See:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302030
In your case, the reference to ISP, would actually be the provider of internet services at these other venues. It is likely that Port 587 will also work at home. One of the advantages of a .mac account, is the Authenticated SMTP for sending in other venues, but still subject to any blocking of Port 25 that some providers at the hotels, etc, might be doing.
Keep me posted.

Yahoo! Mail won't send from my iPhone since installing iOS 5

Hi,
I have just upgraded to iOS 5 on my iPhone 3GS. I am not using iCloud. (The issue I am about to describe, or something similar, seems to be reported by iCloud users elsewhere in this forum, but I think the causes are different.)
I synced my mail settings with Outlook, so my Yahoo Mail settings should be the same on the iPhone as in Outlook, where it works perfectly well.
Since I did this, I can receive Yahoo mail on my iPhone, but whenever I try so send mail or reply to a message, I get "The sender address '[email protected]' was blocked by the server." There is clearly nothing wrong with the sender address, as it is correct in the error window, and I have no idea what could be causing the problem.
This is a major pain in the neck. If anyone has a fix for it, I'd be glad to hear what it is.
(I should probably learn my lesson and stop upgrading my iPhone software. Every time I do, something weird happens. )
Thanks.

Try deleting and re-creating the account on your iPhone.
If successful, deselect transfer email account settings under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by selecting apply before the first sync after doing so.

Yahoo mail won't send from iPhone 3gS

I used my yahoo email account on my older iPhone 3G without problems. Now, on the 3GS, many emails I send do not actually get sent. Sometimes there is the "sending" progress bar, but most of the time the messages don't go out and don't get into the sent messages folder. I notice this happening more frequenstly when traveling. This also happens using my corp account which is on a microsoft exchange server.

Do you mean you have .Mac or do you mean you use Apple's Mail application?
And has it ever worked for you or is this a new problem?

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.

Emails won't send from any account

Hi all,
Had a problem for an unknown period of time now where emails won't send from Mail on the iPad. I had a couple of people ask me why I hadn't responded and after saying I had, they told me they hadn't received anything. I checked my sent box and the emails hadn't been sent.
I thought it was just with iCloud.
I have just tested it with another iCloud account and also my Gmail account and none of them will send an email. All work perfectly on my iMac - and Gmail works perfectly on my phone.
The strange thing is that I get the sent noise as soon as I hit sent, which is why there's been confusion. It doesn't sit in drafts or fail to send. There's no error. As far as you can tell it does sent - but it's never in the sent items/outbox and never received the other end.
Any ideas? Such a frustrating problem that I've never, ever had before.
Thanks for any help,
Ste.

Oddly, the test email sent from my Gmail account on my iPad has just appeared (after a five minute or so delay).
The email however, is still not inside the sent folder - there's still no record of it having been sent.
Problem persists in full for iCloud - nothing sending from iPad and being received by the recipient.

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.
