My .mac mail account is not sending emails.

I've already done all steps several times a day for the past month and I've erased all my mail from all folders and accounts. This wasn't a problem before, what gives? Is it a virus? or 10.6.8 OS update bug? or what?
From my iPhone says that I've exceeded the limit for sending emails??!
Is this the first Mac virus/bug? How and when can they resolve this problem that people have?

I expect you fixed this long ago. I had a possibly similar problem today where mail wouldn't send anything under my mac.com / me.com account. I am using mail in 10.6.8.
I tried some other fixes suggested elsewhere but none work. However forcing a rebuild of mail's plist file seemed to fix the problem. I did this by renaming ~/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist and the folder ~/library/preferences/byhost so that the OS would no longer recognise them.
Restarting mail caused the recreation of new versions of these files and the redownloading of all my emails from Apple's servers. It has fixed the stmp problem. not sure if any other problems caused: it seems like quite an aggresive way to fix it but it worked.

Mail account would not send email. Now it won't send or receive. I use yahoo plus. Troubleshoot, virus, etc.? How do I start over if necessary?

A few days ago, got the message that I could not connect to the outgoing server. Tried a few things suggested here. Nothing worked. Now, I can't send or receive mail. Any help would be most appreciated. I am not a tech type at all. Thanks in advance!

Hi Ozzie, Yahoo has frequent outages, & also had 20 million usenames hacked in the last few days.

Can you login using a Web Browser?
In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the exact message?
Then click the Show Details button & Check again.
The Password rejection can confuse people since it's a catch all meaning...
This Password, Username, Authentication method... is not recognized on this Port to this Server, or a server end problem.
If using a browser to login via WebMail works it's not Name or Password, but one of the other ones.
The receiving email ports are:
IMAP is port 143
IMAP-SSL is port 993
POP is port 110
POP-SSL is port 995
Outgoing ports are...
SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.

Hello Sue,
I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

One Yahoo! mail account does not receive email sent from .mac

OK, this is an odd problem, and any help would be appreciated.
My girlfriend's Yahoo! mail account does not receive email sent from my .mac address. If I send email from my Gmail or Yahoo! accounts she receives the message. No one else has informed me that they haven't received email from the .mac address. Additionally, the .mac account is in her address book.
Anyway, has anyone seen a similar pattern with Yahoo! or any other email provider?
Thanks.
- Jennings

Thanks for the reply . . . and yes, the recipient's email provider likely holds the answer.
However, I was hoping someone here might have had a similar experience and could answer as the email provider is Yahoo, and they are slow in responding to help requests . . . for a period I hosted a personal, paid website through Yahoo Domains and help tickets lingered for several days on multiple occasions (this being the reason the site is no longer hosted by Yahoo). I also doubt Yahoo will expend too much energy resolving a problem for a free email account.
Anyway, I posted in the Yahoo mail forums, and hopefully something will come-up . . . .

HT1277 Mac Mail receiving but not sending. smtp not working

I have been using Mac Mail with my Gmail account without any trouble for the last few years and just for the last 2-3 weeks I cannot send any e-mails. I am receiving without any problems, but no matter what I do it won't send, not even an e-mail to myself. My Calendar is set up to send my notifications and those won't even go. I have verified my settings (time and time again), I deleted and reset-up my account, in the last two weeks I have done everything I can, but can't figure it out so I am getting kind of desperate. I am sure that it is something to do with smtp but all of my settings for that are right too (in accordance to the Gmail and Apple sites). What I have done is just read and responded to my e-mails (when I do it offline) and then I have to log into my gmail account and copy/paste ALL of my e-mails manually, which I am sure you can imagine is extremely inefficient. Thank you to anyone who can help!
Running Mac OS X 10.6.8 with Mail 4.5 and accessing Gmail

Here is a screen shot too, not that it says much, but this is what I always get, no matter the settings (since they are all correct! OH! I guess I should also mention that I currently live in Africa and that I am using my Blackberry Bold as a modem to get internet on my computer, but I have been doing that since last year and never had a problem until now.
Also, I did just very recently (as in a couple weeks ago), insert a new modem to my computer to try a second method of getting the internet on my computer other than my phone, and it didn't really work so I am back to just the phone again... would that simple installation have anything to do with Mail not sending e-mail? I can't imagine that it would, But I have seen stranger things.

Notification Mailer R12 - Does not send emails

Dear All,
we are trying to set up the Standard Oracle Notification Mailer in R12.
We believe we have pretty much covered all aspects of the configuration but it looks like something is either missing or not working...
Here what has been done so far:
1. We purged the Workflow Queue to avoid unwanted emails to be sent out, updating the WF_NOTIFICATIONS setting MAIL_STATUS to SENT; the WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT is empty.
2. We created an Ad-Hoc Workflow Mailer for a single item_type (UMXUPWD, for changing OA Password):
Outbound eMail Account (SMTP) set up (just the server name not the UserName and PWD)
Inbound eMail Account (IMAP) set up (ServerName, UserName, PWD and Replay-To)
Correlation_ID has been set to UMXUPWD
on the Message Generation tab we filled up the From and Reply-To-Address fields
3. Override Address has been set (so that all emails will be sent to a Test Account) and works fine (We did get the email and we confirmed the code).
4. we changed at Global Level (from the Workflow Administration page) the "Do Not Send me Emails" to "Send me HTML mails"
5. Workflow deferred agent listener has been set (default values)
6. Workflow deferred notification agent listener has been set (default values)
7. Workflow error agent listener has been set (default values)
8. Workflow inbound notification agent listener has been set (default values)
We started the Workflow Notification Mailer (for UMXUPWD). We selected a User which has "Send me email" as preference, we requested a password change for this user. We see the notifications in the WF_NOTIFICATIONS table ready (mail_status = MAIL) to be sent but the WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT remains empty and no mails are sent out. We also tried to change the Correlation_ID to the Message_Type (instead of the Item_Type) and to leave it blank...no results = no emails.
Note: neither the TEST Mail for the Notification Mailer worked, so far the only email which has been sent out was the one for the Overriding.
Any ideas why?
Thank You, Pier Paolo.

So the message got 'lost' from the deferred agent listener and the mailer: it was successfully dequeued and processesed from wf_deferred but not enqueued into wf_notification_out.
Check the log file for the deferred agent listener on the middle tier under $APPLCSF/$APPLLOG. The file name will be FNDCPGSC#####.txt (there will be about three of them, you will have to find the one with internal tag WFALSNRSVC). Reproduce the problem and see if there are any errors here.
Check if the persitance time for queue wf_notification_out is zero. If it is then you could be mislead: if it is zero then the message will be immediately removed by the AQ system, suggesting the message was never enqueued.
Also, run $FND_TOP/sql/wfmlrdbg.sql <notif ID> and get the HTML it produces... usually it is able to tell what could have happened.
I hope this helps,
Alejandro

One of my email accounts will not send email, and is not linked to data file.

I have three email accounts set up with my Outlook 2010. All are POP3. All three accounts have been working fine, until the last day or so. One of my accounts will no longer allow me to send messages. When I go to my account settings, the two accounts that
are working show the following:
Selected account delivers new messages to the following locations:
Email Address\Inbox
in data file C:\...
The one that doesn't work shows the following:
Selected account delivers new messages to the following locations:
My Name\Inbox
The .ost data file for this email address is still in the same place, right next to the other two data files for the working accounts. For some reason, Outlook no longer has it linked to my account. How can I go about fixing this issue?
Thanks.

Hi Gwidion,
Outlook 2010 and 2013 create PST per POP3 account. In simple, single PST file for single POP3 account. So, don’t be panic. Just change the location of the
PST data file by following the given path in Outlook 2010:
File >> Account Settings >> Emails
In the “Email” tab, choose the particular account which is not able to send emails and make a double click on it or click on
“Change Folder” option. Finally, set the location of Email address.
Hopefully it will help, otherwise simply recreate a new Outlook profile.

Outlook 2010 IMAP account will not send emails

Hi Everyone,
I have 123-reg.co.uk webmail account which I am setting up in Outlook 2010.
The issue is the mail will receive but not send. The sent mail goes to Outlook Data File/ Outbox and stays there.
I've checked and rechecked that I have the correct settings. I have ensured the options for
My server requires authentication and Use same settings as my incoming mail server are enabled.
The default outgoing smtp ports is 25 for 123-reg and I have tried there alternative port
587 which didn't work.
My anti virus software is Norton and I was wondering if I need an exception rule for
smtp.123-reg.co.uk and/or IP address 94.136.40.63?
If this is the case any idea how I do this in Norton?
Strangely all the same settings work fine on my HP laptop/iPhone but this is a new Acer Iconia. I'm trying to give us much information as I can as I'm tearing my hair.
All help very much appreciated

Hi,
We need to try basic steps for this mail stuck in outbox issue as below:
1. Work offline, move the stuck mail into another folder. Restart Outlook and Work online to send it again.
2. Temporarily uninstall or disable firewall and antivirus software.
3. Test in Outlook safe mode. (Press Win + R and type “outlook.exe /safe” in the blank box, then press Enter.)
4. Create a new profile and re-setup your account. (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918/en-us)
Let me know the result. Thanks.

Mail receiving but not sending emails

Hello there, I have a standard MacBook from 2008, it seems to have a problem when I open the Mail app. You see, I can receive emails with no problem, but when it comes to sending them, they remain in the outbox and so I'm stuck with using the webmail. I have 2 accounts, 1 gmail and 1 microsoft exchange. Can anyone please help me out? I appreciate any help given.
Thank you in advance
Kind regards
