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, but only from my apartment/airport

It seems as if it has been for the last two weeks or so that anytime I attempt to send emails through Mail, that they won't send. But if I go to the coffee shop, or a friends apartment it sends with no issue.
Is it a possibility I accidentally messed up some security/privacy setting in either Mail or with my Airport?
macbook pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

not sure if this is the answer but I had a similar problem recently - my ISP changed required settings so my outbound mail had to be something like "SMTP.isp.com" instead of "smtp.gmail.com"
It was a change they made over a weekend so I didn't know about it -- so my first suggestion would be to check with your ISP.
Hope this helps.

Can send but not get mail....

This is strange - my mailserver has imap/ssl/password. Before 3.0 upgrade all worked fine (hm... except a couple of days when I just got my Iphone where actualle the very same problem showed up, but suddenly started to work).
So, I can connect to server and send mail. But I can't connect to server to read/fetch mail (connection failed message).
I've exact same configuration on my macbook - working like a charm. Tested to remove account on Iphone and recreate, resync, you name it. Still not possible to read, only send.
Why???

Anyone with any ideas are welcome....
Now I dropped all mail accounts on the phone and resynched with iTunes to recreate all mail accounts. Still - one of the accounts will not work. Possible to send but not read mail. And it is working on the mac.
regards,

My emails won't send but my acccount settings are correct

Emails not sending and receiving the error message but my account settings are correct.
"Sending of message failed.
The message could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server mail.krowl.co.uk failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your SMTP server settings are correct and try again, or contact the server administrator.
I need some advice asap please or i'll have to bomb mozilla and use another email provider.
Thank you in advance.

I have had the same problem for days, if not weeks..
Yesterday emails sent and received fine. Today, the problem's back. This is the basic pattern. Most of the time it doesn't work but occasionally it does, albeit for short periods of time.
Nothing works that has been suggested. My provider says that all works fine their end. My partner's email works fine on his iPad, his iPhone and my iPhone.
I've tried different ISPs (as suggested), disabled plug-ins. I use a Mac and don't have anti-virus or have a firewall turned on.
No help from Mozilla, Apple or my provider has helped but will post it here if anything ever does solve the solution..

E-mail won't send, but can't find it

I replied to an e-mail and when I did so, I must have touched the original sender's email address, because when I tried to send it, I got the message:
Cannot send mail
The sender address "[email protected]" was rejected by the server.
Of course it was, because I'm the sender, not that address that the dialogue box is saying.
The problem is, I can't find that message so I can delete it. As a result, every time the iPhone checks mail, I get the above message.
I thought it would be in the iPhone "outbox," but I don't see an Outbox in the list of mailboxes--I only see an inbox, drafts (which is empty), sent, trash, deleted messages, and "saved forever" (a mailbox I created on the Mac.
Anyone have any ideas where this email is, and I how I can get rid of it?
Thanks.

Face time I can't hear the person I call but can see them and there end works fine! Also it says they are busy and won't connect but they get straight through me

When using face time I can see the person but can't hear them they can see and hear me, also won't let me call them saying they are busy but they can call me

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

Smtp.mac outgoing 'sends' but never gets to any inboxes

hi,
really having trouble with my .Mac email account.
I have set up my outgoing server in Mail to smtp.mac.com, have my username and password correct, and when I send emails they leave my out box and go to my sent email box. Swoosh sound and all.
HOWEVER. No emails ever reach their destination. I've tested a few different email acocunts......
anyone have any suggesstions?? much thanks
Luke

In the meantime, you can always check your e-mail with another service like http://www.3wmail.com/ or http://www.mail2web.com/
They have their own sendmail servers that are independent of dotMac.

HT1430 iphone 3g won't send alert when get new mail

the subject says it all. I believe all settings are correct.

Thanks. I'd like the iPhone to make the sound I've chosen in setting when I receive an email. Mail is sent and received normally. I looked here: http://email.about.com/od/iphonemailtips/qt/Set_Up_Push_Gmail_in_iPhone_Mail.htm and found some help but I still need more guidance.
There are two accounts, one Gmail (lots of settings), one with my email address ( . It talks about exchange accounts which I know nothing about. Which one should be deleted? Very confusing for me. You are right - The subject leaves a lot out. My bad.

My phone won't send emails until I get home. Says rejected by the server.

My phone receives emails where ever I am but won't send until I get home. Says "rejected by the server". Using Time Warner. Any suggestions?

You might be using an invalid email address that you are sending to or your mail settings for the account are wrong. Check the address and I would delete the email account and reenter it

Can send but not retrieve emails using Thunderbird and Windows 8.1

Hi, I am not able to get Thunderbird to retrieve emails on a new laptop.
Last week I purchased a new laptop due to an imminent hard disk failure on my old laptop. I will call them "Old" and "New" laptops. (Old laptop is still working for the moment...)
The Old laptop is nearly 3 years old, and I have been using Thunderbird on it since new without any problems.
I have downloaded and installed Thunderbird on the New laptop, and can not get it to retrieve emails.
As the Old laptop is still working (at the moment), I am able to directly visually compare and check settings on both computers.
THE PROBLEM
Using Thunderbird on the New laptop, I am able to send emails, I can see all my old emails restored from the Old laptop using Mozbackup, but clicking Get Mail on the New laptop does not retrieve new
emails.
When I click Get Mail, the status message in the bottom left corner says "connected to .....<ISP>..." but does not actually get the emails. However, the Old laptop is still able to get emails as it always has.
My ISP is a large Australian telco that I have used for many years and I have not changed anything with my account. The ISP is POP3.
WHAT HAVE I TRIED
I deleted the email account created by restoring from Mozbackup, and attempted using the Thunderbird new account wizard, however Thunderbird did not recognise my ISP and would not create the account - even though it is working perfectly at the same time on the Old laptop.
All Firewalls I can find have been configured to allow Thunderbird, with the same configuration settings on both machines.
How do I know I can send but not Get emails from Thunderbird on the New laptop?
I have sent test emails to myself from the New laptop. Thunderbird sends successfully, I am able to preview the test emails via Mailwasher on the New laptop, and can read, reply, etc, to the emails if I log into my ISP webmail service. However I can NOT get Thunderbird to retrieve and download these emails on the New laptop. If I go to the Old laptop, Thunderbird works perfectly, retrieves and downloads all new emails, including these test emails.
I am now at the point where I do not know what else to try and would appreciate any suggestions.....
I have spent many hours over the last 3 days surfing the net, forums, Mozilla Support, etc, and tried everything suggested, without success. The only thing I have NOT tried is starting windows in Safe mode (as per some suggestions), as it is not a viable long term solution.
OTHER INFO
Computer Details;-
"Old" laptop;-
Windows 7 Home Premium - continuously updated with all Critical and Important updates. 64 bit version.
Antivirus = Bitdefender Total Security (subscription and licensed). Up to date.
MailwasherPro 2012 (subscription and licensed). Up to date.
Thunderbird 24.5.0 working perfectly. Up to date.
"New" laptop;-
Windows 8.1 - up to date with all Critical and Important updates. 64 bit version.
Antivirus = Bitdefender Total Security (subscription and licensed) - downloaded and installed. Up to date.
MailwasherPro 2012 (subscription and licensed) - downloaded and installed. Up to date.
Thunderbird 24.5.0 - downloaded and installed.
Note: I 'downloaded and installed' the Windows 8.1 version of these programs to avoid any potential compatibility problems restoring or copying from a Windows 7 backup version of the programs.
1) New laptop came with pre-installed with McAfee - which has been Uninstalled due to running Bitdefender (Windows searches for 'McAfee' return nothing found suggesting the Uninstall was successful).
2) Thunderbird has been added to both Bitdefender and Windows 8.1 firewalls on the New laptop.
3) Bitdefender and Windows security settings are identical on both laptops - as near as I can determine, I may be missing something - but have checked all settings 3 times by doing a side-by-side visual comparison.
4) Thunderbird settings are also identical and I am using the same email address and ISP that I have been using for many years.
5) I migrated Thunderbird settings, accounts and emails from the Old laptop to the New laptop using Mozbackup, then visually checked and compared all settings in Thunderbird between the two machines.
6) For info, I have used Mailwasher for many years as a simple way to preview and wash mail before running email programs such as Thunderbird - might be overkill, but I have also never had a virus or malware problem, so will keep doing this.
7) I have Uninstalled and re-installed Thunderbird on the New laptop twice, and done the same with Bitdefender once.
8) Any config changes I try on the New laptop, I either restart Thunderbird and / or restart the New laptop, or both.
9) I have not created a Windows 8.1 account and am not using SkyDrive.
10) Only other software I have installed on the New laptop is Google Chrome, Office Home 2013 and iTunes - all are working.
Thanks in advance....

Well there is not much left. If telnet works then the path is clear and there is no hardware firewall blocking ports.
All that is left is software, so try windows safe mode with networking. A very handy way to eliminate software. it also actually disables most anti virus resident features and is preferred here because anti virus/security programs do not always disable or turn off when they say they have.
You might also try the McAfee removal tool. https://community.mcafee.com/thread/52788 I notice the rep said yes to both, they did not say not required.
Finally you could try creating a new profile, and see if it works just to exclude corruption of your existing profile. ( I doubt it but I am at the anything goes point)
Just as an aside, I have never had an email borne nasty and I for many years never even had an email virus scanner. So yes I think your a bit over cautious with mailwasher, if that is what your using it for. Thunderbird does not support scripting languages or flash, or most plugins in the email sandbox. The result is getting a virus from a mail in Thunderbird is really only possible, for all practical purposes, if you open that password protected zip from the young Russian woman and that is what the anti virus should be blocking anyway when the temp file is written.

Gmail won't send on iPhone 4S/iOS 7.1

Just got a new iPhone and had problems connecting to Gmail. Someone here helped me out and got that problem fixed. Now it won't send. I get the message:
"Unable to send Email"
"A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The sender address "[email protected]" was rejected by the server."
So I have four emails in my outbox that I can't delete, and they won't send. I can receive email on the phone. I can send and receive email on my iPad and one my computer. So it is a setting in this phone that isn't configured right.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Ok - the problem is solved. I'm going to give you the solution so that you can help others in the future, because it is kind of a pain in the butt, and you mentioned that you didn't use gmail. Before I tell you, thanks for trying to help. It is appreciated.
So for some reason, if you use the built in mail applcation instead of the gmail app, AND if you have two-step authenticaiton turned on (which I do) you can not use your standard password. If you are not using two-step authentication, this is not a problem.
So, you have to go into your gmail account from a web browser, go into your two step authentication settings, and generate what is called an "application specific password." You give it a name. For example, I have one for my iPad, one for my iPhone, etc.
The problem I had was that I had put the applicaiton specific password in for checking mail, but not sending it, because it was marked as "optional" so I didn't think I needed it in both locations since all of my email popped up right away. So I generated a new password for the iPhone and put it in both incoming and outgoing email, and it worked.
Thanks again for trying!

Can't send emails on my S5. Sends fine from gmail, but won't send from verizon account. Keep getting "Sending Failed" message.

My S5 won't send emails from my verizon email account, which is the default email for my phone. It will send fine from gmail, but when I try to reply to messages in the verizon account, I get a "Sending Failed" message and an eternal loop from my outbox trying over and over to send the message. Does anyone know how to fix this? I took it to the Verizon store for help, and they were completely useless.

The tech help is useless. You have to load it manually but you must know the ports to use for both sending and receiving. You must get them from your Verizon fios account. This worked for me.

Hi, I have had an LG Octane for 4 years and loved it. I used it for email, surfing the web and facebook. But 6 weeks ago I stopped getting text messages, I could send but not receive. I was told it was just worn out. So I ordered another Octane from ebay, and it wouldn't connect to the internet. I was told by Verizon that the software had been changed. So I ordered a NEW in Box Octane and I am having trouble with that too. Bing won't work, nothing will work that will enable me to download Verizon Opera mini that still works on my old phone. I have a smart phone with another number but I LOVE the Octane for daily use. Why will my old Octane work but I can't get a NEW one to. Verizon guys are stumped too:( Please help!! Thanks!

Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.
