My outgoing email suddenly quit working.  Settings are correct, but says server unable to send. Can receive fine.  This happened on both Iphone

My outgoing email suddendly stopped working.  Happened first on my IPhone, msgs were stuck in outbox.  This self-corrected, and now my Mac Pro will not send email.  It says server not able to send, but I can receive fine.  No changes were made.  Settings are correct.  Any ideas what's wrong?

OK, I thought you'd like to know that I figured it out!   Yea.
I reasoned since my iphone is now sending, I would check to see if the exact same settings in the advanced mail area were the same.
The port on my phone was 110, but in advanced mail area on the mac it was 995/SSL.
I clicked on that and it defaulted to 110.
But what is strange is the 110 port is supposed to be for incoming mail (which I was getting fine even tho it had the 995 port) and the smtp outgoing I thought was a defaulted 25 port. 
Anyway, when I changed the mac to the 110 port in advanced area, the mail in outbox was immediately sent.
I have absolutely no idea how the port server was changed to 995 SSL on the mac, since no one but myself uses this computer and I certainly didn't change it.  Also, it doesn't at all explain the iphone doing the exact same thing a week ago, even tho that port said 110 when I checked.  Very strange indeed, but thanks for the help anyone who is reading this and I hope this helps anyone else having a similar problem....

    My Ipad has stopped receiving emails today. It has IOS7 on it. The settings are correct but says "connection to the server failed" help!
    It is the same accout that has been working find for years and just after I updated the software this has happened. My Mac is still receiving and sending via Outlook with the same account and settings. My Iphone 5C has also stopped and I tried deleting the account and adding again (via exchange as it's an exchange accout) the same way I always do and it won't even recognise it to add the settings.
    So annoying. Can anyone help?

  • Trying to publsh changes to my website. I get a message "There was an error communicating with the FTP server. Try again later, or check with your service provider." I did, and all my settings are correct, but still cannot publish

    Any other ideas?

    Most likely you are suffering from a bug in iWeb that doesn't let you publish websites if an image you have added to your site begins with space. You can either search for that image and remove it.

  • Outgoing email suddenly stopped working this weeke...

    I've seen may posts on this issue but not seen a solution that works for me yert:
    I have a @btinternet.com email address and have been happily using this via iMac, iPad and webmail to send and receive emails no problem for a long while. A couple of days ago I started having the problem where I keep getting a popup asking for a passowrk on Mac Mail on the iMac and cannot send outgoing emails. I can still send/receive with no issues via iPad and Webmail.
    I have changed no settings, deleted the account and recreated it several times with no joy. The outgoing SMTP server shows offline. I'm fairly sure the settings are correct though.
    I have logged in/out of webmail several times as well.
    I can send email via my @icloud.com email address from my iMac without any problems.
    Anyone able to help?

    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.

  • I am having issues sending outgoing mail. All my settings are correct.

    I am unable to send outgoing messages with a specific email account.  I have checked my settings with both my provider (Cablevision/Optimum) and with Apple's online check system. All are the same as I am using. Any ideas?

    BTW, Optimum does not support secure email (TLS, or Transport Level Security). That means that if you check email using a public WiFi network (such as optimumwifi) anyone sharing that hotspot can capture your user ID and password. So you should never allow the phone to check email at a public WiFi location (e.g., Starbucks).

  • HT1277 BT have confirmed all settings are correct.  Contact Apple, see if they can sort it......

    I cannot receive webmail from BT office 365.  iMail is unable to receive emails.  All my settings/preferences are correct.  They were confirmed by BT!  Bt operative told me to seek help from Apple!  What do I do?  BT set up iMail using screenshare, before you ask.

    This is a user forum, and not a formal channel into Apple support.  If you're looking to discuss this with Apple Support (which I'd infer was what BT had intended), then you'll want to contact Apple support directly, either by phone, email, or the Genius Bar at an Apple store.
    You have written that you cannot receive "webmail from BT office 365", but there are few details on how that mail is being routed and received.  I'm going to make some guesses here.
    In general, you cannot receive web mail directly - assuming that this BT office 365 is a typical web mail system - as there needs to be a mail server involved somewhere.  I can't determine from what you've posted and what I see on the network if the mail server you're referencing might be the same server as is used by "BT office 365", or if it could be a different server.  If it's a different server, then there are other places that mail can be dropped.
    Based on what I see on the net, this BT office 365 web mail package appears to be the Microosoft Office 365 package.  If that's the case, then Microsoft has troubleshooting information available, and also has information on determining the proper mail server settings for Apple Mail.
    If the server behind the Microsoft Office 365 mail system at BT is the same mail server that you're using here (amd as I might guess), then the issues are within BT's network, or with the network connectivity from your network into the BT servers.  Its also quite possible that there are firewall or other blocks operating within your local network, or in the path to the BT servers.
    Connectivity can be verified -- that's something that a typical front-line support call would try and resolve - but I don't know if that testing has happened here.  Basically, there would be an attempt to connect into the ports made directly, typically using either telnet to the target port, or openssl s_client connect to the target port for SSL-based connections.  This to determine if the port is blocked or not.
    Given that using telnet or openssl s_client are tools that you probably don't want to start out with, start with the above Microsoft documentation for the proper settings, and try the Apple Mail Connection Doctor tool (Mail.app > Window > Connection Doctor), and see what that reports.
    If the error(s) or problem(s) you're encountering here are not a baseline mail configuration error (and if there's more than one mail server involved), then it's quite possible for mail from one mail server to be rejected by another.
    And if you continue to have issues, contacting Apple Support directly might be helpful; you can share credentials and server-related information with them, and that can greatly speed up the troubleshooting process involved here.

  • My outgoing email has quit working on my IPAD. Any ideas?

    I can still send emails but I can't receive them.  I tried rebooting my IPAD but that didn't work.  This has just suddenly occurred.  Everything else is working.

    More than likely not much you are going to be able to do. You can follow Skydiver 119's suggestion, but it may not work. You may have to opt for the Yahoo mail app, or just wait it out. I've been reading of some people getting mail on one device, sending on another, and on some not being able to do either. Then deleting the account and when adding it back, it will populate the folders, but they are all empty. You might just want to opt for the web access for now until they get their act together. Yahoo is famous for this type of action.

  • Why did my outgoing email suddenly stop working on all devices?

    While sending an email:  On my Powerbook, message contained "connection to the outgoing server failed.
    While sending an email from I Pad:  MobilMe account expired.
    On the I Phone:  Just said failed
    Does having a .mac extension on my address have anything to do with it.

    Did you migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud before 1 August? If you did then you can set up an iCloud account using it. Your signature says you have 10.4.11 - is this correct? Lion 10.7.2 minimum is required for full use of iCloud but you can set Mail up manually on Tiger to access your iCloud email on a migrated MobileMe account:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Tiger
    If you did not migrate the account it has been closed, and all the contents deleted, including everything on the iDisk and any emails you had stored there.
    If you only have Tiger you cannot reactivate the address.
    If you have Lion or an iOS5 device you can sign into System Preferences> or Settings>iCloud with the @me.com version of the address to reactivate that address; you cannot reactivate the @mac.com version by any method.

  • My email suddenly quit working with Firefox but still works with Google.

    The inbox opens up but won't go to a message when it's clicked. Also won't delete messages or go to any other folders. New messages do come in-just can't read them. This started a couple days ago and Firefox didn't seem to be performing well that day. When it improved the email problem remained.

  • I can't clear recent history. It worked on 6.0 but on 6.0.2 I can't do this. Also my bookmarks are lost. How can I fix it? Old bookmark archives don't work. Error: Can't read data.

    The day I updated my Firefox to version 6.0.2, I had some problems. The first time I want to clear recent history as "everything" Firefox cleared my all bookmarks and history page (Ctrl + H or Ctrl + Shift + H) but visited websites are still on address bar. They are on Firefox Menu > History section. Bookmarks are not important, how can we fix Clear Recent History function?
    Troubleshooting Information is in Turkish, if it is not useful I can send that text in English. Please send an e-mail for this.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
