Outgoing mail and access mail

Greetings Apple Discussions:
I have my OSX firewall off, Verizon DSL westell 2200 modem, and a Linksys wired router. A few days ago I reconfigured the router through an IBM laptop with NetSet software from Linksys.
Regular internet pages open fast. I may be able to log on to Yahoo.com mail, etc. and once I read a message I can no longer get access to my InBox. This also happens when I try to submit forms for services, etc.
When I try to send an email, with Mail 2.1, this is the message I get:
Cannot send message using the server
outgoing.verizon.net
The server response was: 4.4.2 Timeout while waiting for command.
Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server. All messages will use this server until you quit Mail or change your network settings.
Message from: Aubrey Muhammad <[email protected]>
Then when I try it again I get this message:
This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
The sender address [email protected] was rejected by the server.
I would appreciate if any one would help me with this issue.
Aubrey

Aubrey,
1. Turn your firewall back on: The email problem is probably caused by Verizon.
Here is what your settings should be.
If your settings are correct, see 2 below.
2. The problems with Web pages and Yahoo webmail are in your Linksys settings, since your problems started with router reconfiguration. You'll need to fix them.

  • How to save all incoming and outgoing mail

    I run a Leopard server with 10 email clients that I want to be able to save the incoming and outgoing messages from. I could have sworn that under Tiger, I had the catchall working to include both incoming and outgoing mail to [email protected]
    However, under Leopard the catchall seems to grab only the incoming emails? Is there a way to do this? or - is there a better way I SHOULD be doing this. Basically I need both a record of emails for liability issues and the ability to access them easily (this was made convenient by using webamil to login and read as needed).
    Thanks!

    In /etc/postfix/main.cf

  • Hotmail and Yahoo Incoming and Outgoing Mail Servers

    Does anyone know what the incoming and outgoing mail servers are for hotmail and yahoo? I'm trying to put them into my mail account, and can't seem to figure out which one (pop or imap) to use.
    Thank you!
    -Kat

    If you are not using the paid (plus) accounts for Yahoo and Hotmail, they do not support access through email client applications like Mail, etc.
    For Hotmail, you may have success with the HttpMail Plugin if your account is old enough.
    For Yahoo-and Hotmail if it doesn't work with the plugin-you can use MacFreePOPs.

  • HT201320 What is incoming and outgoing mail server and server port number

    What is incoming and outgoing mail server and server port number

    See applenerd504 previous reply:
    These specifications that allow you to send and receive messages on your iPhone. If you are using iCloud Mail, Gmail, or another service listed in the selector in settings, they should be automatically configured. If not, you may need to look up certain numbers for your email service.
    Putting it in slightly different terms:
    If you are using a web-mail system like gmail (with a gmail email address) all the mail sending, receiving and management is done on Google servers. In these cases you will only need to have a working internet connection to be able to log in to the service to access its data. 
    Supplying mail sever names and port numbers should only be needed if you are using a traditional (non-web) email account where you are accessing the mail servers directly. This would be typical for a email account set up by someone like your ISP (Internet Service Provider), in these cases you will have to ask them for the appropriate settings.

  • Outgoing mail under 3G and Wi-fi

    I use my iPhone 3GS under 3G network and two different WiFi connections, so I have three different connection providers.
    No problem with incoming mail (under POP protocol) in the above mentioned situations.
    For as regards the outgoing mail, it seems that only the main SMTP server is took into consideration, and not the others SMTP servers.
    So, in any of the above connection situation, it is necessary to manually insert into the main server field SMTP server identification which matches with the provider setting; in this way, the outgoing mail works correctly.
    The alternate servers are not considered, even they are correctly configured and activated.
    The consequence is that any time I move and change the connection provider, I am obliged to re-write by keyboard the main SMTP server id.
    Any help/advice will be greatly appreciated.

    What's the deal with 3G and Wi-FI now with Froyo.  Before the upgrade I was able to have both Wi-Fi and 3G at the same time, now I have to pick between the 2 depending on what i am doing.  WeatherBug Elite  and MarketPlace only work with 3G, maybe it did also before but at least I didn't have to choose which type of network to run, because both 3G and Wi-fi were running.  Sometimes my Wi-fi signal is faster depending where I am, like at Home.  Has anyone else seen this type of quirkiness?  Is there a way around it?
    Curious...does weatherbug tell you to use 3g or do you just notice that the 3g is on and wifi is not? 
    The phone never used both at the same time and at least on mine it switches automatically depending on if theres a wifi signal or not AND application.
    some apps may use 3g and cell connection over wifi, especially apps that use location to provide things like weather.  Your location is likely obtained thru cell towers so wifi wouldnt be accessed by weatherbug.  But market should use wifi if a connection is available.

  • I am unable to send mail on my IPad because the iPad ignores the single correctly configures outgoing server and instead looks for long since deleted outgoing server which is not listed in my settings at all.

    Some time ago I used to use an outgoing mail server, which I will call 'XYZ'.  However I changed email providers and now have a new outgoing server which I will call 'ABC'. I tried deleting that old outgoing server when I changed email providers but had problems doing so.  So what I did was completely delete all email accounts from my iPad and then reinstalled the two new email accounts from scratch, complete with the new outgoing server 'ABC'.  That appeared to be successful, and I can receive email OK.  Also the new server 'ABC' is the ONLY outgoing server listed in my settings on either account
    However despite the new server being the only one in my settings the iPad will not send mail and shows an error message saying that the settings for the OLD server 'XYZ' are incorrect.  I cannot amend or delete that server as it has already been deleted and is not listed in my settings.
    It is like the iPad is somehow still remembering that old server and thinks it's the primary one.  Or it's getting old server info fron iCloud or something.
    My iPhone has the same two email accounts and identical settings and does not have this issue.
    Any ideas, other than a complete factory reset?
    Many thanks
    Rob

  • My MacBook pro has stopped connecting to the outgoing mail server smpt (Tiscali) server, still receives mail fine, and connects to the web. Any suggestions welcome.

    My MacbookPro has always worked fine, receiving and sending emails through my server,Tiscali.  I took it to France for a few days, and was able to receive emails and use the web (through the wireless router and server in our accomodation), although as usual when away from home, I couldn't send emails. I tried to set up a new outgoing email route using O2 (as suggested by a web article), but it didn't work, so I deleted it, and used Tiscali webmail to send emails.
    When I returned home, I selected my usual outgoing server (Tiscali), but found to my great surprise, that I could no longer send emails - Mail timed out, 'unable to connect'. I noticed when clicking on: Mail - Preferences, that in the outgoing mail smpt box, Tiscali appeared, as usual, but now was followed by (Offline)
    Receiving emails and web connections have remained fine.
    I've checked with Tiscali, and they can't find any problem with their server or my settings.  Grateful for any suggestions about possible causes for this problem, and how to fix it.
    Joe

    I have just tried attaching the ethernet cable to the MacBook to see what happens. The system is fine, but when starting Mail, it never opens and locks up. You eventually just have to force quit out of the program.

  • Mail Server "Type" and Mail Server "Address" for Incoming & Outgoing Mail

    First, the only browser I use is Mozilla's Firefox, the best browser hands down. Second, I have both a Yahoo email account and a Google "gmail" account that I use regularly (daily). I am trying to set up a mail washing program to rid myself of these ridiculous spammers & scammers, however I need to the the Incoming & Outgoing mail server "type" & "address" to do this and I seem to have guessed the yahoo settings, but I can't seem to get the Google gmail account set up properly. Yahoo settings that worked are: Server Type="POP3" and Server Address="pop.mail.yahoo.com", with advanced settings: Secure Authentication=Required, Secure Connection (SSL)=Required, Store Cached Emails=Yes, Server Port Number=995 (set), Pipelining=Enabled. The equivalent settings for the Google gmail account result in an error message = "Failed to log into POP3 Server". Of course user name & password triple checked, Type=POP3, Address=pop.mail.gmail.com, and , Address="pop.gmail.com" tried also, Port and other settings the same. Where can I find this info for both accounts? Tanks a million! -jw

    Yahoo and Gmail support should be able to help you.
    Not related to Firefox support, web mail doesn't use POP or SMTP protocols which is what email clients such as Thunderbird use for communicating with email servers.

  • TS1307 my "outgoing Mail server is offline and I can't get it back online

    I can send  and receive emails from my iphone, ipad and online mac account, but can not send emails on my mail from my macbook, it stopped working suddenly a few weeks ago and says all my outgoing smtp's are offline, how do i get them back online?

    Thanks so much for the quick response.
    I did repair permissions and tried Mail again, then decided to double check the Mail Prefs of my MB Pro (where Mail works fine) and the iMac (G5 I think?).  And do I feel stupid:  the outgoing mail server on the iMac was smtp.mac.com whereas the server on the MB Pro was smtp.me.com!  So I changed that and now Mail can be sent from the iMac.
    Thanks so much, I love these forums.  Whenever I have a problem, I check the forums first!
    Cheers,
    Laurie

  • HT5361 My apple mail will no longer allow me to select a signature and have it display in outgoing mail.

    My signature is no longer appearing in my new outgoing mail message drafts.  When I attempt to select the right signature, the dropdown in the email draft says 'none'
    Under mail preferences--signatures--choose signatures it also says none and does not let me select anything though two signatures exist tied to this account.
    Since I didn't create the issue I also don't know how to fix it and all attempts so far have failed.  Feedback desired.

    Mail > Preferences > Signatures
    Drag the signatures you want to use to the account. Then relaunch Mail.

  • OUTGOING MAIL PROBLEMS ON IPAD AND ACBOOK PRO

    Whenever I send emails through my business mails to yahoo, gmail and other mail clients from my iPad and macbook pro, it is rejected by the server. My business mail is hosted by siteground.com.
    When sending the same mails on non apple devices, it goes through alright. I have tried different options of the outgoing mail servers and ports as suggested by my host but still have issues. There are no issues with incoming mails on the apple devices. How do i resolve these problems?

  • HT201320 What am i supposed to put as the incoming mail server and the outgoing mail server when setting up my email?

    I'm tryingt to set up my email through my school account and i'm not sure what it means when i'm asked to enter a incoming mail server and an outgoing mail server. Help would be appreciated thanks

    Since no one here has any idea about what type of mail your school offers...you don't mention what school...your question, as asked, can't be answered. What don't you contact your school's IT dept., or look online. Most schools have instructions on how to do so online.

  • HT5361 I am unable to start or select the MAIL app. No incoming mail and no outgoing mail. I do not even know how to get an answer without email. Can you help?

    I am unable to start or select the MAIL app. No incoming mail and no outgoing mail. I do not even know how to get an answer without email. Can you help?

    Thank you Carolyn, How helpless you can feel without this App!
    Going into the App Store as you suggest, I see 'thee updates available", the first says, 'X RESTART', the second says, 'Garage Band, an error has occurred" (in red), and the third 'Memory Clean, UPDATE'.
    Am I correct in thinking that OSX is the problem, because it is waiting for a restart?
    Kind regards,
    Cy

  • Is it possible to highlight text in Apple Mail for incoming mails and outgoing mails?

    Is it possible to highlight text in Apple Mail for incoming mails and outgoing mails?

    If you mean that you wish to highlight messages from certain people or domain names, then if you select Preferences under 'Mail' (top left hand corner next to the Apple logo when you're in the mail application) and then select the right hand icon marked 'rules', then click on Add Rule and hopefully the rest is fairly self explanatory.
    Best of luck

  • Outgoing mail server and WiFi Questions

    DeepPurple23, thank you -- you solved my problem as well!
    Can either of you tell me what's involved in choosing a Wi-Fi network? I'm trying to choose one, but don't know whether I'm DHCP, BootP or Static. DHCP is preselected, but then the only lines that allow me to fill in anything are DNS, Search Domains and Client ID. What should I put there? My IPS is earthlink, and I created a client id, but I'm not getting anywhere. Thanks for any help you can give.
    Message was edited by: Host - branched to new thread for new issue

    nakoma,
    EarthLink should allow you to user their outgoing mail server smtpauth.earthlink.net on port 587 on WiFi or EDGE. Cwmx.com is a work around that only works on EDGE.
    As for choosing a WiFi network. Do you have a wireless router such as an Airport Base Station?
    If so, you would connect to it, and it connects to your internet connection. Many places offer free WiFi or WiFi that they charge for. This can include restaurants, coffee shops, libraries, and even some cities are experimenting with it. To join one of those networks go to Settings -> WiFi, turn WiFi on, and it will search for WiFi networks that are within range.
    Click on the wireless network you want to join. If there is a "lock" next to it that indicates whoever setup that wireless router or base station, and is likely paying for it to connect to the internet set it up to use encryption and a password. You would have to ask them for permission to use their network and the password to use.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.
