Our OS X version 10.6.8 stopped sending emails from one of three accounts but receives fine...the settings appear unchanged and the same as the other accts.  thoughts?

We have a century link (old qwest) q.com email address that has been set up on the mac and had worked fine for sometime and now only receives, but does not send messges...I am guessisng that centurylink outgoing server changed.  but what is odd, is that the apple system no longer accepts the username and password for the account so I wonder if it has something to do with the apple security...I tried to build an entirely new set up witht he same address, but the same password denial comes up when trying to send only

try another smtp relay service...
in either case, you may want to setup an SPF record for your domain which specifies the relay service is authorized to send mail for your domain.

  • TS3899 suddenly stopped sending email

    for the past week my iphone 5 has stopped sending emails from my personal (comcast) account and my work (exchange) account.  Tried resetting phone, removed and re-input email account information, turned phone off for provider to do a reset.  Still nothing.  Verizon is out of ideas to fix this issue.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    I was having this issue as well with my Yahoo mail and tried everything. The one thing that worked for me was double clicking the home button, closing the Mail app, then reopening it. Suddenly all my emails synced. Anyone else having this problem should try this. :)

  • Airport Express stops sending emails suddenly

    Hi. I'm using airport express 802.11g, and mac mail (OSX 10.7.4).
    Last week it just stops sending emails from one of the server providers i use.
    I'd already tried everything...reseting, creating new mail accounts, changing, repairing permissions, restarts and so on...
    what I find out:
    1. if I plug the ethernet cable, it works
    2. when using mail over wifi/airport, the 'send' works for @hotmail, @gmail...but doesn't work for my other server emails
    3. even thou, if I try to check emails using my server webmail, it works!
    4, receiving emails works perfect
    5. even when trying the wifi over my iphone, it doesn't send either.
    resuming:
    problem: send mail, over wifi, just with my 'dreamhost' server mails
    weird!
    but it's been days I've been trying to find out what is going on, and no clue!
    I hope someone could help me!
    it used to work just perfect, but...

    have you checked for _*wireless interference*_ ?
    download iStumbler (does not work on 10.6) or AirRadar (it has a trial period) and note the channels other networks in your vicinity are broadcasting on. change the channel(s) of your network as far away as possible from those.
    any improvement ?

  • Our IPad mini has stopped sending email.

    Our IPad mini stopped sending emails last week.   We did not change the settings.  We even rebooted.  The messages are still in the Outbox.  What happened?  How do we fix it?

    We went to Settings, then Mail.  Before Delete Account, we looked at Account again to copy pertinent information to Re Add Account.  We scrolled down to Outgoing Mail Server and noticed that the box for Primary was empty and turned off.  We had a Server listed in the Secondary Mail Server.  We turned the Primary on and resent our Outgoing Mail.  It worked.  How did the Primary Outgoing Mail Server get turned off if we did not touch it?

  • My Mac Outlook 2011 Stopped Sending Emails for all POP Accounts from Different Providers

    I've had this problem before, but this time I am truly dumbfounded. My Outlook 2011 has randomly stopped sending emails, but I can still receive them. This has happened a few times and I normally change the ports/SSL and I can get it to work. But now I am at a loss. I have several email accounts that I manage. One of which is GMAIL, using IMAP, and this is the only account that currently works find receiving and sending. My POP accounts, four of them, all cannot send emails. They can only receive. One of them is with GoDaddy, and the other three are with an Asian company. I can't find any help on this. I've upgraded Office to the latest version. I've even deleted the accounts and added them back in, and I still can't send email. I'm frankly getting exhausted and sick of this type of problem happening. I honestly use this program and my MacBook Air to send clients information...only to find out hours later that a mail never sent because it's been stuck in my <hidden> Outbox in Outlook 2011. This has hurt me now badly on several occassions. Please HELP!

    All SMTP servers are set correctly as far as I can tell, the connection doctor says everything is fine, and I removed all my accounts to re-add them.  I added one and tried to send a message--stuck in the outbox--failed.  I added another account and deleted the first one and tried to send a message--stuck in the outbox--failed.  I'm pretty convinced the problem is with Mac's Mail client...I can send email from anywhere I've tried except for Mac's Mail client.  Thanks for the help.

  • Outlook 2013 suddenly stopped sending email

    good morning and happy new year.
    my outlook suddenly stopped sending emails. I can still receive emails. but no luck sending. I've added a new account to my outlook and that one sends/receives fine. I have the email on my phone it sends and receives fine. I've tried uninstalling than reinstalling
    outlook. Nothing changed. tried the quick fix as well as the internet longer fix. same result nothing changed. this is my business email so I really need to get it figured out. Please Help

    Happy New Year.
    Without the detail information of your email accounts, it is difficult to move on. Could you please tell the type of you email account, Exchange, POP3, IMAP or Live account? If it is an Internet account, please detail the email provider, like Gmail, Yahoo
    or else.
    The following link is some common troubleshoot steps for sending and receiving messages issues
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/286040
    In most cases this scenario happens if the sending message is stuck in the Outbox somehow, what we could next do is to identify the cause why it would happen.
    1. Is there any large message remain in the outbox folder?
    2. Authentication problem or simply password expired.
    3. The sending message is called by another application like mailscanner?
    Our MVP Diane has written an useful article that talking about this:
    http://slipstick.com/problems/common-problems-that-cause-email-to-stay-in-the-outbox/#srs
    You may reference it and solve the problem. If the issue still persists, feel free to post back with the error code and message. Thanks.

    I should point out that the "From:" address is not designed to represent any kind of authoritative information i.e. it should never be relied upon to identify the sender of an email.

  • On 3G we cannot send emails from either our iPhones or iPad and this also happens with some WiFi connections but not all.  Yet we can always send emails from our Hotmail Email account.  What is causing this and what do we need to do to resolve it?

    On 3G we cannot send  Business emails from either our iPhones or Ipad and this also happens with some WiFi connections but not all.  Yet we can always send emails from our Hotmail Account using both 3G and WiFi.
    We bought the iPhones and Ipad so that we could send emails while we are out of the Office, but we are not able to do this unless we can find a WiFi connection. Incoming emails are fine.  We use IMAP, for Business emails just incase this is relevant and I know that Hotmail is POP3.
    Our technical IT knowledge is not great, so we look forward to your suggestions as to how to resolve this. 

    Contact whomever supports the email account and get the correct Outgoing email server settings from them.

  • How do i stop my programs from automatically popping up when i turn on the computer?

    how do i stop my programs from automatically popping up when i turn on the computer?

    When you log out or shut down, there will be a checkbox that asks you if you want to reopen windows when you log in. Just uncheck this box. If that isn't it, you may have login items turned on. Go to System Preferences>Users and Groups and then under your name click the Login Itens tab. Make sure nothing is there.
    If you want to stop windows from restoring when you open applications (so for example when you open Safari it doesn't open the 50 tab page you just had open when you quit) go to SystemPreferences>General and then hit the checkbox that says Close windows when quitting an application.

  • The scroll function on my mousepad is disabled when viewing a pdf file in firefox version 5.0. The scroll works on the pdf, but not on the other tabs. When the pdf is closed, the scroll function returns to normal. Any ideas?!

    The scroll function on my mousepad is disabled when viewing a pdf file in firefox version 5.0. The scroll works on the pdf, but not on the other tabs. When the pdf is closed, the scroll function returns to normal. Any ideas?!

    Hey thanx for the help, it worked like a charm.
    I think firefox changed the application lay out, as I used to be able to choose my PDF opener from the list at " Adobe Acrobat Forms Document' where I could choose Nitro-PDF reader, but it has now moved all the way to the bottom like you suggested to the obvious place of "Portable Document Format" section.
    If someone didn't tell me , I wouldn't have scrolled all the way down to be able to find it... it really should be with all its cousins up the top...
    Cheers again..

  • HT1146 Hi, I would like to know if there is anything i can do to stop my emails from moving from the sender once i have forwarded it to some one else?

    Hi, I would like to know if there is anything i can do to stop my emails from moving from the senders name, once i have forwarded it to some one else?

    No there is nothing you can do to correct it. It is a hardware fault and only Apple can correct it by replacing parts in your Mac. More then likely the Logic board has failed. Specifically the GPU which is soldered to the Logic board so the complete logic board must be replaced.

  • My iPad 2 has suddenly stopped sending emails.

    My iPad 2 has suddenly stopped sending emails. It puts them in the outbox but that's as far as they go.  I've tried turning off ect but no joy. It puts them in the outbox but thats as far as they go.

    The restrictions should have no bearing at all as to why mail is not being sent. It will prevent you from making changes to the emai account, so I don't know how you were able to try what I suggested if you can't get into your mail settings.
    As for the 10 attempts ...... You get as many tries as you need with that passcode. But the catch is that if you cannot remember it and you need to get into the settings, you have to restore your iPad back to factory settings and start all over again. The only way that you can use a backup is if the backup does not contain that passcode. If you restore from a backup that has the passcode in or, you will jut end up in a never ending loop.
    So after having said all of this I would have to assume that you tried my suggestion before you locked yourself out of the settings.
