Outgoing mail blocked with Mac's Mail Client

Hi,
I work at a small law firm and we are having some trouble with our email...
We have email accounts set up for all our staff through our website on our Mac Server. The problem we are having is that when someone is outside the office they cannot email anyone inside the office... the email only works internally... yet, from inside the office some computers can email outside servers (such as gmail and yahoo)... All the computers have external IP addresses (no DHCP) and only the ones that start with 66.something can email outside servers... the ones that start with 209.something can't.
I've searched through the forums with no luck... any suggestions on how to allow anyone to email anyone?
Thanks,
Chris

You need to enable authentication and have your outside users authenticate.

Locked files using a Windows 2003 File Server with Mac 10.6 clients running CS5

We migrated 40 Mac users from OS X 10.5/CS3 to OS X 10.6/CS5 back in November. Our InDesign files are kept on a Windows 2003 file server.
We have had fairly constant complaints of InDesign and Photoshop files being reported as locked when users try to save their work back to the server. This did not occur as frequently with CS3.
Has anyone else had this issue?

I'd suggest starting with iFelix's Sharing files between a Windows XP PC and a Mac running OS 10.4.x

How do I install Mac OSX Lion client on the new Mac Mini Server?

If Apple would have had the quad-core processor option for the non-server Mac Mini, I would have just bought that, but I wanted the quad-core. I do not, however, need the server software. I found this article talking about how to disable the server functionality, but this article highlights how little that method actually does.
Ultimately, I just want to do a clean reinstall like I used to do prior to Lion. This process used to be so easy. Create a disk image of the desired operating system on USB, option boot, and you're done. Now it appears that Apple purposely impedes this process, as every time I boot from the USB I created with Mac OSX Lion client, I get a circle with a line through it. Is there any way around this restriction? Editing firmware, editing .plist files, etc?
Very disappointed that Apple is limiting what used to be such a simple process on Hardware and Software that I paid for but now can't get the functionality I want.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but what I don't think you can do what you're asking for. Closest thing is going to be disabling the server components like it says in the article, but again, that doesn't do much.

Users Having Troubling Sending Email with Mac Mail Client with Godaddy

Hello,
I recently had issues' with my mail and my new Mac Pro and sending emails from www.godaddy.com. I tried 4 email clients and could retrieve my emails but the outgoing mail server keep rejecting my password. After I almost switch email companies I called one last person from godaddy. The support person James M suggested deleting the account in my email manager on godaddy system and re-created the account and everything works fine. Please note, to back up emails before doing this. I think something is corrupting something in the server that requires the deletion of the email account that is only effecting 10.64 users.
Best of luck,
M

Have GoDaddy reset the SMTP relays to 0 (zero), then back up to 250 (or whatever your limit is). This reset the password authentication and emails were sent fine afterwards. Good luck.

Configure ipage domain imap account with mac mail client

I have a new website with ipage and would like to configure my new domain imap email on my mac mail client. Neither Apple nor Ipage support have been able to resolve why the outgoing server will not send messages. All variations of settings have been tried. I think it may be an SSL issue, but whichever, it must be possible to set up such an account. Anyone? Please?

Shootist007,
I too loaded sparrow and it did seem to work fine with my (multiple) Gmail accounts and the folder/labels looked great (they do allow you to separate your inboxes/labels) with just a keystroke??---What I found was their HELP files were as MINIMAL as their program (fine for the more experienced I am sure)
I spent several hours!!! trying to figure out how to move the inbox messages to the (FOLDERS)??? I gave up!!
IF ANYONE KNOWS THE STEPS FOR DOING THIS I may well try the program again as it did seem to behave with Gmail/multiple accounts/personal domain quite well!
I will download thunderbird and give it a go in the morning
Thanks for the quick response!

.Mac Mail incompatible with Firefox? Also, outgoing mail problems in Mail.

I run Firefox on my Apple as well as on the PC I have to use for work. When I visit my dotmac account and go to my mail, in Firefox on either of these computers, I can read e-mail but cannot respond or compose a new message. When I try to do either of those things, I just get a big empty, blank box that won't let me type in it.
I can compose and reply just fine on Safari.
I've been searching the web for discussion on this, but haven't seen any so I'm starting to wonder if it's something I'm doing wrong. My settings haven't changed, the old .mac mail worked just fine.
Any thoughts?
My second problem, which I believe is unrelated as it only started happening recently is my .mac account within the Mail app will not send mail. I recently had my system crash and had to erase the hard drive and re-install the OS. I saved my data with the Firewire disk mode and my iMac. But ever since, my .mac e-mail refuses to send mail. The User name and password are correct, the outgoing mail server is just like it always was. It tries to send the message then tells me the message can't be sent with the server smtp.mac.com

Try this-
Find Firefox preferences, and be sure that popups are not being blocked.
Not sure about that, but it sounds like popup problems.
In Apple Mail, try entering the smtp server for your ISP (comcast? roadRunner?) some ISP's force you to use their mail servers. (don' tchange anything about POP, just change smtp.mac....to smtp.[ISP's_servers]
Your password may need to be adjusted.
I know you say "like it always was", but something might have changed during your hard drive erasure.

Probably incredibly simple question, so sorry. I have just changed e-mail after many many years and I want to e-mail everyone in my mac mail client with the new e-mail address at the same time.

If you are using Address Book, open it, create a new Group, select all you contacts by click the top one while holding down the shift key and then select the last one. Drag the contacts to the group, then send an e-mail to the group.

Can't connect to SquirrelMail with Mac OS X Mail client

I am working with an organization whose email is running on SquirrelMail. When I try to set it up as a new account in my Mac OS X Mail client, I choose IMAP, enter the email server name, password, etc. but once the account is created I keep getting the message, "Mail can't connec to the account... Enter the password." I have checked and double checked that the password is correct because I can log onto the account via the webmail portal. Any ideas on special configuration settings necessary for SquirrelMail on the Mac OS X Mail client?

Hello jsgrubb,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are trying to set up your email on your Mac but are receiving an alert. To ensure that the correct steps are being followed to set up the account, I would first recommend reading over the following attached article.
Mac Basics: Use Mail on your Mac - Apple Support
If you are still unable to set up the account, it may be necessary to contact the provider of the account to verify the correct Mail settings for the account.

Have a great day,

HT4864 Need help with iCloud set up on Mac Mail Client

hi thanks for you help. I had a long day of issues with my icloud configuration on my Mac Mail. Suddenly (with no changes on my part) there were issues with emails going out. I followed the protocols below. Is there an issue with my AUTHENTICATION choice? I tried external tps but that didn't work, but Apple Token is what is working). I have the box checked for keep sent emails. I can't figure this out and it's so frustrating. I have a new Air Laptop.
IMAP information for the incoming mail server
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
Port: 993
Username: The name part of your iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker, not ********)
Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP information for the outgoing mail server
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: Your full iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker, not ********)
Password: Your iCloud password
<E-mail Edited by Host>

Those look like the correct settings. You might want to post this over in the OS X Lion forum to see if they have any suggestions.

Problem with outgoing mail server since getting .mac account

I'm hoping someone here might be able to help me out.
I've been using Mail for a few years now with several mail accounts. (Yahoo!, gmail, and my own domain mail). I have always been able to choose which account to send my outgoing mail FROM. That is, until I purchased a .mac account.
Since signing up for .mac all my settings are still there for my other accounts, but I have not been able to send even ONE email from any account except the .mac account.
I have tried setting up the outgoing mail servers and resetting them, but nothing works. Anyone have any ideas why this might be happening?
I'm starting to consider using Yahoo! mail online for all my mail, but I would prefer to be able to click mailto links and sent right from Mail.
Thanks.

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
Where and how are you connected to the internet with the laptop, vs the desk top -- same venue -- wireless, etc?
Is the account you have set up, the same primary account with Charter that you use on the Desktop?
On the desktop Mac, in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information, when listed as the Outgoing Server, does smtp.charter.net have any Username appended to the name?
Not sure if it could be case sensitive, but have you tried lower case letters for smtp?
More info, please.

Outgoing server settings for MAC MAIL with multiple accounts?!

if i got paid to do this, my outgoing mail server issues would be somewhat amusing but as it stands they are really extremely annoying.
i have multiple email accounts (multiple addresses with multiple hosts - gmails, domain based email, me.com address etcetera).
does ANYONE know if there is an FAQ on what is recommended with respect to the settings on whether to tell mail to ONLY USE the one outgoing server and/or anything with the other settings?
i feel like i am in a pachinko parlor when i send mail because there is constantly an error of some kind and then i try dropping the mail through a different outgoing server by selecting a different one from the list and i just do this until it goes out. oftentimes i don't find out it didn't go out until the NEXT DAY becasue i am working and this alert gets hidden behind my other windows where i do actual productive work.
any ideas? i have two domain based websites (multiple emails with two SMTP addresses), two GMail accounts and me.com...
THANKS!

hi. CS. thanks.
do you know what this does as a practical matter? i mean, is it NECESSARY to check this box? will it try other outgoing servers and NOT WORK if you don't check this box? conversely, will it NOT try other outgouing servers if this one is unavailable if i check this (presumably the answer is yes here). i mean - am i likely to run into fewer problems by checking this box and i assume it is necessary to use the OUTGOING SERVER of the actual domain you are trying to send mail from as opposed to - for example - using GMAIL outgoing server for everything because you think you will get less errors than sending from your email domain outgoing server.
you know what i am saying? i mean, i get a bootload of errors and actually can't send mail these days even though Connection Doctor is telling me everything is hunky dory.
also, what is meant by "Offline"? do i have to go in and tell it to take everything on line for some reason and is this totally separate (telling it to go online) from checking things in Connection Doctor?
THANK YOU

Mac mail outgoing mail not working with wildblue gmail account

My outgoing mail keeps saying offline. Cannot connect on the default ports. Tried changing ports, with and without SSL. Anybody have any solution?

I've recreated the account multiple times and finally have mail coming through under an "All Mail" label under "Gmail" on the left hand side of the application. The one thing I did do differently was uncheck the SSL box in advanced settings, save changes, recheck the SSL box, save changes. Mail started working after that.
Before this problem existed, I had [Gmail] in the "imap prefix" box in advanced settings in order to get rid of the gmail labels. I did this because I only wanted the Inbox and Sent Items to show in the far left. Right now, i'm only able to view my mail under an all mail folder beneath a Gmail Folder on the left had side. Can I get rid of all these folders and simply use my inbox and sent items icons?
Thanks,
Ryan
Thanks in advance.

Can I set my iCloud email as the outgoing mail server for my google apps email account in Mac Mail?

I have a google apps email account from an old client, all my work emails have been going to it for years. As I'm no longer affiliated with this client I'd like to make a transition to using my iCloud account for work. I asked people to use my iCloud address but as they've been using my google apps address for years it's what automatically comes up when they type my name.
I figure the easiest way to make a transition is if I reply to all the emails that arrive at my old address from my iCloud address and gradually they will start using my new address without realising it. But I can't find a simple way to do this.
In Mac Mail preferences > accounts > Google IMAP (my old account name) > Account information > Outgoing Mail server (SMTP) I'd like to set my iCloud SMTP server. But although my iCloud account uses its own outgoing mail server for its own account , it is not in the server list when I select my google account. I've tried to add it to the server list as smtp.mail.me.com but it caused my whole iCloud account to give me error messages until I force quit Mail...
Any ideas?

In iCloud/Mail, have you tried going to Preferences (select with gear at lower left)/Composing and setting a Send from address there?
