Mail will not send emails after security update

Hello,
I am having trouble now sending email - like many others aparently. I receive a message when trying to send mail:
- a dialog box requests the authentication password for the smtp server
When entering the correct password it simply repeats. I have had no trouble up to this point. I can log into both accounts via the web using the correct password.
I am having this problem
- on a BT Internet account,
- and my Yahoo account as well,
both of which I use on Mail for business.
Please help?!
Best, Jeff

Question answered in another string - British Telecom changed outgoing servers for me and things seem to be working again - fault is a mystery though. Sorry I cannot help others in this strange situation.

OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages

Mail will not send from anywhere except home

I am using mail with an external mail server. I have two accounts on the same server. For some reason when I send from my primary account at my house it works fine. If I am anywhere else it will not send email. The secondary account does not have this problem. any idea why this might be happening and how to correct the problem?

if two accounts on the same server and one works, then you aren't having network issues.
It's possible that a particular message you're sending is tripping blacklists. if the subject or content has the keywords that trigger a rejection, that might be your explanation. Use test emails..
Next, I'd look to see if the accounts are configured the same. It might be that the server location works with your DNS at home, but when away, it doesn't resolve. Check to make sure the evil account matches the good one.
If this is a large service provider (gmail, yahoo, aol) it shouldn't matter, but a small personal server might have different server side rules for each account. I run a server and it has the option to require that the mail come from the same domain as the account. That makes the account incapable of sending while the account owner is out of the network.
Use the Connection Doctor (under the Window menu)
Question: what is the service provider of the email account?

Mail will not send

Hi, I've had my iMac some time now but have only just set up the 'mail' option. I have definitely put in all of the correct details for all of my email accounts. I am able to receive email but it just will not send out any emails - from any of my 5 email accounts!
When I check the mail connection all is green (except for one of the outgoing servers for one particular email account). So why will it not send from the other outgoing server when it is green?! I use an iPhone and an iPad and my mail on those is fine (using exactly the same settings).
I have updated the software (as recommended by Apple for this particular problem) but it has made no difference. Every time I try to send it says 'Mail will not send with server...'
It's driving me crazy! Please help! Thanks.

This may not help, but a few months ago I was trying to send a message to members of my professional organization, but kept getting a similar message. I exchanged correspondence with Tech Help at my server to no avail. I thought the problem might have to do with the quantity of receoients, so I started deleting a few at a time from the list and resending. All of a sudden, it worked!
I finally narrowed it down to one address that had been preventing the message from going out. After I deleted and exactly retyped the address, I never had another problem. Never understood what had happened.

Mail will not send mail, only receive.

I have spent the majority of today re-installing OS X and all necessary updates, music, data after the death of a hard drive. Luckily everything went perfectly, except for the same problem I had with Mail even before the 1st hard drive died. Mail will not send mail, only receive.
All efforts time out and give me this message: "The connection to the server mail.earthlink.net on port 25 timed out"
Mail used to send messages, but stopped suddenly in 2004 and has yet to start again. Any idea guys?! I can't figure it out, under Account settings I have necessary fields filled in: Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) is set to "mail.earthlink.net", Server Port is set to 25, and Authentication drop menu is set to None.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is NOT a problem with Mail or OS X. This is an incorrect settings problem - garbage in = garbage out and this information is certainly available at Earthlink's website and Earthlink also provides technical support.
Earthlink has an authenticated SMTP server they changed to long ago.
SMTP Server: smtpauth.earthlink.net
Server Port: 587 but 25 should work if you are using Earthlink as your internet service provider for connecting to the internet.
Use SSL: Off or not selected.
Authentication: MD5 Challenge-Response
User Name: Your ENTIRE Earthlink email address.
Password: The account's password - the same password used to check the incoming mail server for new messages.

IPad 2 will not send email from any app except from my actual email app

IPad 2 will not send email from any app (eg camara, pdf edit apps, evernote ect.) except from my actual email app. It will send email from my email account in the mail app or online. Pls help :-/

I had this problem
I hit the power button and the round button at the same time and held it until it rebooted
You get the black screen and the apple logo
When that was done I want to the app and update screen and I was able to update my apps
I suggest when you update stay on that screen until they all update
I find it sometimes get stuck updating when I leave the screen as they are updating and do other things, but I could be wrong. It just seems to me that is when it happens.
The reboot works and don't worry you don't lose anything when u reboot it's like shutting down a computer and powering it back up. Everything you had before will still be there.

Mail will not send or receive. It intermittently stops working. Why?

Mail will not send or receive. It intermittently stops working. Why?

I had problems with sending emails from one server in particular, however, I would ask if you have gone to the page of your server and found specific instructions for configuring your mail. My iMAC would not send out emails, so I went to my (Italian) server's page and solved the problem.
It was not sufficient to let the MAC wizard connect you up with your server, and, indeed, MAIL invited me to consider installing the server's email manually. So doing, my problem was solved.
Your server's page should have a list of email programs (cf Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.) , with instructions as to how to configure them. Look for the item referring to Macintosh Mail, keep it in background in order to go back to it as you configure your mail.
My problem was that I could not convince Mail to accept the out connection, but when I eliminated my server entirely in Mail's Preferences, I added that server once again: Mail told me that it could not safely transfer my password and asked me if I wanted to set up the site manually. I clicked on manual, and found very precise specifications as to the number of the port to be used, then instructions on how to find the menu for the out mail, with a particular number I had to insert in the drop-down menu they specified.
It was not as complicated as it sounds here, but requires patience.

When did this start?
What specifically happens when you try to send Mail?
Are you able to receive mail from all of the accounts? any of the accounts?
Are all the email accounts with the same provider?
In Console > All messages search on Mail and see if there are any error messages

Have a new iPad with ios6. Will not send emails. Addresses are valid but get notice each time that recipient was rejected by the server. No help on web site, and Apple's only manual is for previous os version. We miss Steve Jobs.

Have a new IPad with IOS6. Will not send emails. Addresses are valid but get notice each time that "recipient was rejected by the server." Apple has apparently neglected to put out a manual with IOS6 and the previous manual has no indication of what to do. Really miss Steve Jobs.

Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if it then works

Iphone will not send email

All of a sudden, my iphone will not send email to AOL. It says user name [email protected] is incorrect. I have rebooted, reinstalled and changed password that works fine on aol, still receives mail but will not send.

It looks like your SMTP server setting for AOL is wrong. I think it should be smtp.aol.com.

Hey craggee,
Thanks for the question. This is usually do to a limitation by your ISP/email provider:
If you are only able to use your email account while connected to your home network, this may be a limitation put in place by your email service provider. For further support, please contact your email service provider directly.
