Outbox
Often when I send emails I receive an 'Error' mrssage that says
This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
The sender address (my email address) was rejected by the server.
This happens to all sent emails in one sesson. Other times I have no problem at all. Does anyone know what causes this and how to fix it? I appreciate your suggestions.
Linda
It could be a variety of things. Knowing the circumstances under which this happens would help.

Why can't i send email from my outbox? Mail is blocked from coming in also.
Check your settings, maybe the mail index is at fault.

Error:Message could not be delivered will remain in Outbox
The error message further states that "The server*** cannot be contacted on port 25" This happens when the computer is sleeping and an alarm is sent from iCal. On my older computer, the mail would open automatically and display the alarm message as soon as I opened the computer. No it opens but gives the above error message. Do I need to change a setting of some kind?
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8)Thanks for responding
Is this email account and SMTP server provided by your ISP used for connecting to the internet or an email account provider only that is not associated with your ISP?
This email account is associated with my ISP.
I have no other problems forward, sending or receiving mail on this account. The only problem remains when iCal sends an alarm and my computer is in"sleep" mode. Then the message stays in my Outbox and won't be delivered. -
I can receive emails, but I cannot send emails. This just started happening. I have an iPhone and I can send emails from my phone fine. It's just not working on my Macbook. Every time I try to send an email it goes straight to my outbox. Can anyone help?
Thank you for heading me in the right direction. I reset my Mail account for Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net:(customer ID)@att.net (instead of smtp.att.yahoo.com, per Apple's online troubleshooting information). I'm not sure what "(Offline)" means when it appears at the end of my Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)?? In the Advanced box I clicked on "Use custom port: 465" and checked "Use Secure Sockets Layer." Authentication: Password; I have correct User Name and Password put in. After doing all this, when I try to send emails again today, they go directly to the Outbox and sit there.
What's curious is that my first sent email this morning did go out using the Outgoing Mail Server, smtp.att.yahoo.com: (customer ID)@att.net(Offline) but subsequent emails I tried to send with this server were rejected with the message: "Cannot send message using the server smtp.att.yahoo.com (etc.). The SMTP server doesn't support TLS(SSL) on port 587. Verify your account settings and try again." That's when I tried resetting my Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net (etc.), as mentioned above, and was unsuccessful in sending out any further emails. I guess my next step is to contact my email service provider, AT&T, and see if they can help me. Thanks, again, for taking the time to respond and for giving me your input! Much appreciated! -
I tried deleting the outbox from home/library/mail but no luck, internet works fine, mail recieves fine. from .mac website mail will send... but it won't send from my mail program. keep getting message "the connection to the server on"smpt.mac.com" on port 25 timed out." what else can I do?
Who is your ISP used for connecting to the internet?
This indicates your ISP is blocking the use of SMTP servers outside of their network on Port 25.
Most, if not all ISPs have restrictions on the use of SMTP servers outside of their network on Port 25. Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only that is outside of their network (such as the .Mac SMTP server) but some block its use regardless. These restrictions are part of an overall effort to prevent or reduce spam emanating from the ISP's domain.
Try changing the Port used by the .Mac SMTP server from 25 to 587. Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below. Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field. When finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
If this doesn't work, select/use your ISP's SMTP server to send mail with your .Mac account which is invisible to all recipients. -
when I respond to the email message I get the following: Cannot Send Mail -- A copy of this message has been placed in your Outbox. The recipient "[email protected]" was rejected by the server?

My CEO has an ipad2 and I set it up w/ AOL. She cannot send any email via her AOL account from her iPad. She gets a message that says "A copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed." We've tried it on wifi and on 3G (Verizon version). I've removed the account and added it, I've tried setting it up as an IMAP account vs. using Apples standard AOL mail setting and nothing seems to work. The SMTP settings are smtp.aol.com, port 587. I've tried adding an alternate server/smtp, but I haven't been able to find anything that works. Any advice or other people having this issue? It works fine sending an email from her aol web mail. And unfortunately, having her sign up for a gmail account is not an option. Thanks
Interesting. Firstly I have been on AOL since the early 90s with no current intention to switch as my primary personal email account.
I have two email accounts on my iphone - AOL and my email from my business website. I deleted both and then recreated first the business account and then the AOL account. Same error. Then I wasn't sure what you suggested but I turned off the AOL SMTP server and selected the business email SMTP server by turning it on with the same result. I still get the error "A Copy has been placed in your Outbox. Sending the mssage content to the server failed."
Perhaps this problem will get fixed by IOS 6. AOL will not talk to me unless I pay and Apple says its not their problem. So for the time being I use the AOL web interface in the iPhone's Safari to send emails from the phone. -
I went through all the steps to try to resolve getting the message in a box every time i try to send an e-mail. What next ?
Message is " A copy has been placed in your
Outbox. Sending the message content to the server failed."
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. My internet works fine as I can send e-mails from my Yahoo account on my MAC no problem.
Address is fine etc.How long has it been going on? I've had my yahoo mess up and if i wait a bit it resolves itself. Yahoo is doing something with their servers and it messes with your mail if your mail happens to be on one of those servers.

I have 2 email accounts which both worked perfectly well on my ipone 4 but since going over to iphone 5 my msn account will not allow me to reply to any emails. It places a message on my screen stating a copy has been placed in your Outbox. The recipient @.com was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying. Any ideas on how I can sort this. Would it be worth deleting my MSN account ant putting re-inputting the details again?
Your email provider has blocked the standard mail port 25 for sending emails and is requiring a different port. This is to avoid mail relays that use mail clients to send spam. You need to find the port that is used by your provider for sending outgoing mail. Then change the settings in your email account on your phone to match the port. You will also have to provide some security credentials for the account.
You can also try deleting the email account from your iphone, and the adding the email account back as this will many times set the correct port for sending emails.
You could also do a Google search on the the settings for your device with your email provider. That will provide you with the proper settings. -
Emails not sending, "stuck" in the outbox and no error message
I have been trying to send emails for a few days now and they will not send. They go to the outbox file and then the don't leave. There is no error message and my POP account, .mac account, and the smtp.mac.com are all working correctly. I can still receive mail. The emails don't get sent to the draft file.
What does “my POP account, .mac account, and the smtp.mac.com are all working correctly” mean? Which account has the problem? Those accounts are clearly not working correctly if you have this problem...
What does “The emails don't get sent to the draft file” mean? Which messages would you expect to be moved to Drafts and as a result of doing what?
I assume that the account is "online", i.e. Mailbox > Go Online appears disabled (grayed out), right? If that's the case, try this:
1. In Mail, move any messages waiting in Outbox to another mailbox (e.g. Drafts), to avoid losing them.
2. Quit Mail.
3. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/.
4. Locate Outbox.mbox and move it to the Trash.
5. Open Mail. A new (empty) Outbox.mbox will be created automatically. Check whether the problem is fixed.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. That is, ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder, i.e. /Users/username/Library. -
Lately I cannot get any messages in my email outbox to send (pics I take, then forward through email). I keep getting an error message, "A copy has been placed in your mailbox. The sender address "xxxx" was rejected by the server." It is the same email address (also apple id) for comcast I have used for years and it always worked before. Can anyone help me solve this problem? Running version 6.1.3 software. I am so frustrated.....
Hey lloleary12,
Try out the following troubleshooting article:
OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3276
It'll go over how to troubleshoot Mail when it has issues sending email messages by determining which part of the email "ecosystem" is the cause of the issue, then steps to attempt to resolve it.

When I try to send an email either new, or reply on my phone I receive a notification that recepient will not allow relaying. The email will then sit in my outbox. At some point it will send but it is hardly dependable. What is wrong with my settings?
The collum to the right listed similar problems. The solution appears to be that under smtp outgoing settings the user name and password are listed as optional. I have not plugged in the information and it seems to be working. However from my office it always allowed the relaying. The true test will be when I try to respond later from the road.
Thank you for your help. -
Question? When I try to send out email on my ad address, it goes to the outbox and stays there. The message is something like, you have exceeded your limit on messages so your message will be stored in the outbox. I don't send more than 30 emails a day, and i use two other email addresses. What can I do?
Change the password on that e-mail account. It's possible that your account has been hacked/spoofed and spammers have used it to blast out junk, leaving you to 'pay the price'. If it's one where you can contact the company, contact them and ask them what's going on. (if this is g-mail, yahoo, hotmail, don't bother, there's no way to contact any sort of support)

I hope someone can help with this
I am now unable to send any photos from my iPad2, When I got this last December it worked fine and I could easily take a picture and send it.
About a month ago I tried it and it and it failed, I was abroad and did not think it was a problem?
Although I have not changed anything to my set up outhe than automatic software upgrades on the iPad it refuses to work.
I can send emails without photos and tried rebooting and re setting the internet connection,
The email just sits in the outbox and I get the following message?
connection to the outgoing server "smtp. gmail.com" failed
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated ThanksThanks for replying and your time.
Unfortunately no rebuild option in iphone 3gs
