One of my email addresses stopped being able to send mail.

It closes the message as if to send it and then re-opens the window and freezes it. Whatsup?!?
I have tried deleting the mailbox and re-creating it, but it doesn't work. I am using SSL on this mailbox. No problem receiving mail, just sending.
Note: The email address works fine on my laptop -- the settings are identical (identical). ***?

Update I finally was able to get a photo of the error I am getting. its says
Unable to sign message
An error occurred while trying to sign this message wtha certificate from "[email protected]" Verify this certificate for this address is correct and that its private key is in your keychain.
So how do I do that?
I never took or messed with the keychain so I am unsure how to go about figuring that out.

Can receive mail but stopped being able to send mail

I can receive mail on my MacBook Pro, but, after 3:03PM on 9/26/2014 I stopped being able to send mail. I get the follingg dialog box.
Interestingly enough the data in this dialog box is out of date. My ISP at this location is not Verizon and there is no mention of iCloud. Nonetheless mail has worked without incident at this location for two years. At my office where I have a MacPro (4.1), Verizon is the ISP but, I believe, iCloud is the other listed server. (Im not there right now, so I ca't check). Incoming and outgoing mail work perfectly at that location. Both computers are rurnning OS 10.8.5. I'd appreciate any insight anyone might Have,
Thanks,
Stephen

Hello Stephen,
If you are having issues with sending and receiving email, check out the first two articles to get it sorted out. Also look at the third link and look at the time at which you were having issues as it may be related to an outage of service.

Apple Mail just stopped being able to send mail?

No settings have changed. Worked fine a couple days ago. Yesterday, I noticed Mail getting extremely slow about sending mail, now it will not at all.
Plus, I am not being prompted to enter my password. I think this is the issue, but how can I force Mail to prompt me for the password when it used to do it automatically?
I use the Mail app for work and can no longer use it at all.

Not much to go on here, and why would you need to be repeatedly prompted to enter any password?
Who is the provider of the SMTP you are using as the Outgoing Server, and what Port are you presenting it on, and with what type of Authentication, if any?

One of my 4 Gmail accounts has stopped being able to send mail

I have 4 gmail accounts. I can send and receive on all 4 but 1. This just started a couple of days ago. I get an error message that pops up but it goes away so fast I cannot see what it is. I have tried to screenshot it but I cant seem to get it. My mail locks up as soon as it happens and the mail I was attempting to send stays as a "draft".
I have searched the forums, and so far I have gone to google verified my settings to make sure somehting did not get messed up there.
I have checked my 1 account against the other 3 accounts and they are identical.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled that account i dont even know how many times at this point.
I was starting to try and uninstall the mail app but got hung up doing that so gave up on that plan (I also read that it probaly would not help what I have going on)
I logged into a different account on my iMac set up my mail on that account and having the same issue.
The only thing i have done in the past couple of days was link my gmail account to a computer at this college I attend (when u pull up google can synch) I did that but am unsure how that would mess up anything if at all.
Anyone else have any ideas?

Every time one of my email addresses doesn't work on my mail app, due to wrong password or whatever, it deletes all of the contacts form my phone. What can I do to stop this from happening?

Every time one of my email addresses doesn't work on my mail app, due to wrong password or whatever, it deletes all of the contacts form my phone. What can I do to stop this from happening?
I have tried deleting the account and it deletes all my contacts. I have verizon and even using back up assistant, it says the contacts are there but they aren't. The only way i can find a contact is if I start to type a name in and new text but once i sent the new text, the name disappears and it just shows the number. Siri nor the address book don't recognize any contacts at all.

I cant find any reciept in my email or in my husbands email. I am going to attempt to call and speak to someone who can help me because this was not my fault except trying to be normal and update my phone!

My iPhone 4S stopped being able to get mail

My iPhone 4s (iOS 7.1.1) stopped being able to check mail yesterday. first the error was that my password was incorrect (which had not been entered since setting up the account) which surprised me. After several attempts of entering my password, thinking i was crazy, I restarted the phone--still not working. I deleted the email account and re-entered it, still not working. only now i get an error that says it can not verify account information (mail.xx.edu) first, and then my password continues to be incorrect. I can receive the same mail on my iPad, and i can log on and check online, so i know i have the correct password. my email is an exchange account (mail.xx.edu). i have checked with institution tech support and they say i've done the correct things. suggestions? more info required to answer? thank you!

I've seen situations before where on older devices something gets "messed up" in the OS/Account Settings for email. I think if it were me, and I'd done the basics (including reset with the home and power button and verifying the credentials on another device and with the Outlook Web Interface) I'd backup the phone, transfer all content, erase all content and settings, and setup email again immediately after, before you restored anything else or transferred anything back. You could also try a restore. If you use OWA, I'd also go into that and see if there were multiple instances of the device and also be sure none of them are disabled.

IOS Apps stopped being able to send emails

It was working, it is not working anymore without any obvious change!
(I love those bugs!!) :-/
From several apps, I am using the built-in share feature to send email. Those apps include - but are not limited to - Safari for iPad, Reeder, Zite, etc.
It has been working fine since the beginning of using this iPad (2 years now!).
But since a few week, after triggering the share by email, filling-in all parameters (recipients, subject, message) and hitting the Send button, nothing happens: the popup email window is closed (which I interpret as "email sent") but the message is not in my sent box, neither will it appear in the inbox of the recipients. It has just vanished!
However, sending email is still working perfectly from the Mail app!
The default email is a Gmail address using the "exchange" server from Google.
PS: WiFi is activated and working. When I can send email from Mail app, I cannot share a web page using email from Safari. Same environment, config, time, etc.

Hi Huygens-25,
If you haven't already done so, does restarting or resetting the iPad help the issue?

If not, we may want to isolate the issue further by restoring your iPad using a computer with iTunes.

My email address is being used to send emails everyday by someone else? Can I fix this?

I'm getting about 30 messages a day with this subject "Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender" and no recognizable email addresses in the list included.
Can I fix this without changing my email account?
If not, are there steps outlined for transferring from this account to a new one?
Thanks.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

My iPhone 4S with iOS7 has stopped sending mail. I have deleted the account (Exchange) and readded it to no avail. Not being able to send mail is detrimental to me.

I have read the tips and all I can find is to delete the account and readd. I have done so to no avail. What are the other alternatives to solve this problem? Thanks.

Yes all the account settings were approved. I can receive email just fine. My contacts and calendar are up to date. I just can't send. The email disappears. It's not in the outbox or sent items. It's hosted exchange and works fine on my other devices. Server names is exch2010.esfi.net hosted by Electronic Storefronts.
That sounds like a server side problem. Contact the Exchange account administrator.

I have not been able to send email for some time but now i have stopped being able to recieve email.

i have not been able to send emails for some time but in the last two days ive stopped being able to receive, the message says 'username or password incorrect' ive checked all the settings, ive deleated accout and set up again, ive rebooted phone. i tried to sync with pc but this also fails any ideas

That is correct, They don't seem to know about Mac, never got a single scrap of help from them. Try recreating your account from scratch, delete the account, (write down all your settings first) and add an account, see if that works, and if it does, delete the first account to prevent things doubling up on you. I think that's what I did, it was quite a while ago. Hope this helps, or gets you pointed in the right direction. Maybe go to At&t and try creating another account, and if ti works, delete the first.
One other tihing I did was to reset Safari, as AT&T uses the net, that's about all I can remember, like I said it was awhile ago.

My iMac and MacBook Pro have stopped being able to find one another.

I have been sharing files between my iMac and MacBook Pro. Recently they have stopped being able to detect one another. When I look in the sidebar of the Finder window, neither computer shows the other. I have file sharing enabled for both computers. This is a recent problem, and I'm not sure what has changed. I may have updated software - but don't remember what or when, as I tend to automatically do so when an update becomes available. I would appreciate any help that you can give.
Thanks,
Linda

Eric,
Thank you. I had all my settings right - I had checked and double checked. The one thing I had failed to do - which is the one thing that often helps - is to shut everything down and restart. I shut the router and the computers down and restarted them one at a time. They are once more talking to each other.
Thank you again,
Linda

Check the outgoing mail server settings in your account on the Treo and see if it is set for your yahoo account.
Make sure it is not set for the Hotmail account.

I have an Ipad 2 and are having problems sending out emails in one of my email address. I always get a message reading the email was not sent because the server does not allow relaying. This is an email account POP3. I have no such problem with gmail.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

Win 7 stopped being able to see CP2025dn

Since yesterday my Win 7/x64 system has stopped being able to see my CP2025dn. So far I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting the printer; reinstalling the HP software (upd-ps-x64-5.3.1.10527.exe); connecting the printer to a new USB port; rolling back all system changes since before the last time the printer worked (and rebooting, or course). None of this helps. The printer remains invisible to Windows -- it does not appear in the Devices and Printers window. My other printer (a Brother HL-5350D) has no problems.

I have an R100 and I lost my SD2 card and the computer tech gave me an SD3 to replace it. I found the SD3 version more stable as I had some of the same frustrations as you in the past. It sounds like you have done the logical things, but give a complete uninstall / reinstall another go. That is what I did several times. Also, scrub your device manager to make sure all the BT devices are gone (it may be helpful to display all the hidden ones and uninstall them one by one). Finally, make sure the BT Manager is loading when you reboot, or at least that you can manually load it. Sometimes you just have to be patient with device discovery, there were times when it could not find a device and then I would try it a few hours later and there it was. If all else fails, try an SD3 card and the 4.20 stack because that combination cured all problems.

Mail abruptly stopped being able to connect with my .mac account. It will download from other accounts.

A week or so ago while I was not at home Mail stopped being able to connect and download email from my .mac account. I can still use Mail to download email from my Gmail and Comcast accounts, however. I can still download .mac email from my iPad and after installing Thunderbird I can download .mac email on my Mac. I downloaded PostOffice, but it won't download .mac email either. There has to be something that has gotten corrupted. Any ideas of what could be wrong and what I can do to get it corrected?
Thanks.

Make that "Postbox" not "PostOffice."
