My gmail account receives mail, but will not send, forward, or reply...it gets stuck in the spin and then I have to force quick firefox.

My gmail accounts receives mail, but will not send, reply or forward. Also cannot open settings. It gets stuck in spin mode.
I worked with an apple tech, tried several things, and then she suggested I contact Mozilla support.

  • Lion Mail receives mail but will not send

    Suddenly my (1 year old) MacBookPro's Mail program will receive but not send to my gmail account.  When it trys to send I get the message:
    "Cannot send messageusing the server smtp.gail.com:[email protected]
    The server “smtp.gmail.com:[email protected]” cannot becontacted on the default ports.
    Select a different outgoing mail server from the list belowor click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent."
    I have a MacBook Air on which the Mail program works perfectly.  I've verified that the MBA and the MBP are using identical settings. 
    Any thoughts on what I should try next?

    Just execute the three commands in three different terminals.
    The IP-Number you connected to is strange. A reverse-lookup gives:
    $ nslookup 74.125.53.108
    Server: 192.168.178.1
    Address: 192.168.178.1#53
    Non-authoritative answer:
    108.53.125.74.in-addr.arpa name = pw-in-f108.1e100.net.
    That is definitively not google. Is it the same from both notebook? If not you have a dns problem on the MacBook Pro! It could be your local router or some kind of proxy of your internet-provider.
    Try entering the IP directly. So, a forward-lookup (in terminal) should give the following IPs:
    $ nslookup smtp.gmail.com
    Server:                    192.168.178.1
    Address:          192.168.178.1#53
    Non-authoritative answer:
    smtp.gmail.com          canonical name = gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com.
    Name:          gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com
    Address: 74.125.39.109
    Name:          gmail-smtp-msa.l.google.com
    Address: 74.125.39.108
    Use one of the above IPs directly in Mail as your server for sending mail. Does this help?
    If not: Did you try the "Connection Doctor" in the windows-menu of Mail? At which point it becomes stuck?

  • Mail receives OK but will not send for smtp account.  Exchange server receives/sends OK

    mail receives OK but will not send for smtp account.  Exchange server receives/sends OK  I'm away from home, using a family-member's wireless network that has always worked OK in the past.  Today, the same problem occured while waiting in a hospital waiting lounge.  Any ideas?

    The outgoing mail server may be rejecting mail from your network address. Typically that happens when your mail service provider is also your ISP, and you connect to it from another network. The SMTP server will allow connections without a password from anywhere, but it will only relay mail from within the ISP's network. It could also be that your account on the server has expired or been suspended.
    If you need to send mail from outside your ISP's network, use an independent mail service provider. I don't have a specific recommendation.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

    1. From the Mail menu, select (click) Preferences
    2. In the "Accounts" dialog box, select the e-mail account to be SMTP-authenticated and then click the Edit button.
    3. In the new Accounts dialog box:
    1. Select the "Account Information" tab.
    2. Under "Outgoing Mail Server:" click the Options button.
    4. In the SMTP Server Options dialog box:
    1. For "Method of Authentication" choose Password
    2. In the "User Name" text box, enter your campus account ID.
    3. In the "Password" text box, enter the password for your campus account.

  • Since upgrading to v7 my email will accept in mail but will not send mail?

    Since upgrading to v7 my email will accept emails, but will not send mail any suggestions?

    Hello Lifechip,
    Try a soft reset and troubleshoot the problem, if you do not know how to perform a soft reset click on the link below;
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/#section_1
    If the problem persists, try logging out of email by going into
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Account > Delete Account
    After you have done so, click on Add Account right below the list of emails, enter all your details.
    Wish you good luck,

  • Mail will receive email but will not send. Recent change of broadband provider. Help!

    I've recently changed my broadband provider. My email address is provided by my previous broadband provider (although it was obtained seperately -prior to - my broadband deal). Since I've changed my Mail still collects mail from the email address provider but is no longer sending from Mail.
    Funnily enough if I send an email direct from this provider they send without any problems.
    I've checked the preferences and nothing seems to have been altered.
    Confused.

    Do I understand this as saying you changed "broadband providers", i.e., ISP's, and you are trying to send and receive email through your old ISP's mail servers?  I hope I misunderstood that because you of course need to use your new ISP's mail servers.

  • Can receive mail but can not send mail

    With IMAP AT&T Account I can receive emails with no problem but can not send out emails.  AT&T says it is a Mac Mail issue because I can send and receive with no problem on the internet.
    Can someone please help me with the settings that should be put into the Outgoing mail server SMTP settings.  It always shows the server as 'Offline'.
    Thanks

    They (AT&T) needs to provide you with the proper Outgoing Mail Server setting.

  • Photos in my iPhoto library will not enlarge when double clicked on.  they fill the screen and then screen goes black.  hasn't happened before.  thanks--

    photos in my iPhoto library will not enlarge when double clicked on.  they fill the screen for a second (or less) and then screen goes black.  hasn't happened before.  thanks--

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help: As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • My iPad2 receives email but will not send

    I've set up my email account again following Apple's tutorial without any issue. But still not able to send email

    What email service are you using?
    Is your password correct?
    Does your email provider require that outgoing mail must be sent from a point on their network?

    iPad 1 connects to iTunes and displays in the left column.  All elements on iPad displayed.  However, it will not sync.  Displays message that the iPad is not connected.  This is a new issue.  Used to work fine.  All iTines and iPad software up to date.  Ran HELP diagnotsic in iTunes with iPad connected - no issues noted.  Attempted soft reboot of iPad.  No help.

    Issue hopefully resolved.  Required Apple store to delete all info from iPad and reinstall operating system.  Had to reload all data, but it seems to be working fine.  Cause unknown.
