Outgoing mail just sits in the Out box -

Add me to the list of people who are unable to send mail.
Problem started after 2 days ago and after upgrade to 10.4.6
I noticed that on the Dot Mac site it says that Mail delivery was unavailable to certain Dot Mac users for various amounts of time on various days. I wonder if this is the case now.
I've gotten 3 different error messages at different times while trying to Send.
1. Cannot send message using the server smtp.mac.com
2. smtp.mac.com doesnt support authentication
3. The sender address XXXX.mac.com was rejected by the server
I am receiving mail, but sending is not happening.
From reading all the threads here, it doesn't seem like anyone has had a solution to this problem and it seems to be affecting some and not others.
I've changed the ports, I've trieddeleting the account and adding it again, but when I try to save it, I get the spinning beach ball and have to force quit. This happens each and everytime I try to do it.
I can logon via the internet and send mail,from there, but not on my computer.
Anything NEW anyone can suggest
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Problem resolved, it had nothing to do with 10.4.6 upgrade, it was a Dot mac problem as I thought.
Contacted <removed> and the problem was with Apple blocking my ISP
"Greetings,
There was a spam block against veloxzone.com.br. I have removed the block so you should be able to send.
Best Regards,
.Mac Admin"
If you're having similar problems check with <removed> to see if there is a spam block or other problem with your ISP

TS3899 I am receiving incoming emails on my iphone5, but my replies sit in the out box for days. I have checked the IP address, etc and that all seems to be correct. Any suggestions please?

I recently purchased an iphone 5.
All the settings have been copied over from my MacPro and all seems to be working fine EXCEPT for out going emails.
Emails come in even when I am out at work, but can I reply - NO - replies sit in the out box for days and then suddenly disappear. I have check all the settings and they seems fine. I have tried turning off the wireless and turning it back on. Some time that works.
Why am unable to send emails even when I am at home near my router?
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

OK, that at least means that you won't have to start from scratch again;-)
You could try to re-install only the SyncServices.framework framework since that seems to be broken or corrupt - using Pacifist, you can re-install only parts of the original system from your original disks.
Another approach would be to re-install the latest system update - this is probably the easier solution and might already be enough:

In the apple mail program,mail I try to send sits in the out box for long periods. How do I get it sent quicker?

When using the apple e-mail app with Yosemite, how can you underline & put words in bold ?
Also can you change the letter colors

- All of his books in "Missing Manual" Series are excellent and get updated with each OS, so even the one for Mavericks would be helpful and easy to follow chapters so you generally only read a few pages with lots of screen shots.

I can't send emails from Mail. I have three different accounts set up and have the same problem with all. The mail just sits in my outbox. All worked fine until Yosemite upgrade. Recent update has not fixed problem.

I have been experiencing the same problem. My mail app won't even open on my Late 2011 Macbook Pro. It will show as open, but the app will never actually show up.

Mail just sitting in outbox

when i send mail it sits in the outbox. is there a setting that accounts for this delay. i want it to go off right away. i try reopening it and sending it, but it just sits there. in outlook there were separate send AND receive emails icons. i only see a get mail button. surely there must be a way. i feel like am just waiting for the computer to send it when it feels ready. what gives? HELP PLEASE!!!

Do you get asked for your password or anything like that.
do you have more than one account?
does it happen whichever account your use?
I can't think of any other reason why it sits there.
Having just been through all my mail preferences there isn't an option to choose when mail gets sent so it SHOULD go straight away, unless your outgoing server is incorrectly set up.
so it might be worth you checking your outgoing server settings for any account involved.

Sent mail just sits in Outbox. Why?

All of a sudden yesterday, any mail I try to send from my mail app, the emails just sit in the outbox and it says, error-your server timed out on port xxx. Your mail will stay in the outbox till it can be sent.
Sometimes it doesn't say anything.
And I can't log in to my email only extra account on my dotmac....says my password was wrong, so I went and did the change password to the same password, and I still can't log on.
This has happened before when messages stayed in outbox I was trying to send, then it stopped. Now, I can't send any email through my mail application.
I can get mail.
What's the problem?
I installed Intego NetBarrier X5 last week, but it just started not sending mail yesterday.
And when it happened before, I didn't have NetBarrier.
This is so frustrating.
Can anyone help?

That worked. The funny thing is, it SAYS it sits in my outbox and I keep trying to send it, and the people actually GET it, sometimes three copies because I would keep trying. That's the weird thing also.....
But you gave me the right port number and it worked.
I wonder why the port number changed?
I got Net Barrier from Intego and it shows what port you are using and it will use 4 different ports everytime I do mail. I don't know why it does that.
But thanks. That did the trick.
Don't know why that happens.
This is the second time and I didn't even have Net Barrier before.
It's just weird.
But thanks anyway.

Mail Different under Tiger NO OUT BOX

After upgrading to Tiger I have found Mail not to have an Out Box or a progress bar at bottom of window like the older version.
It is difficult to monitor mail progress of large files. I know the activity window can be pulled out but it is not as elegant as the old system.
Im I missing something?
Have I not set up mail properly in Preferences?
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Your welcome.
But I still have no OUT BOX when I send something it shows only
in the Sent folder that it is being sent with an time spin indicator.
This is normal with Tiger Mail.
Tiger Mail only shows your Outbox when you have email waiting to be sent. Email messages appear in the Outbox when you attempt to send a message when you're working offline, or if Mail tried but was unable to send a message only. This is the only time the Outbox mailbox will appear in the mailboxes drawer with Tiger Mail.
To keep the Activity Viewer window in front and have it always shown, move the bottom of the Mail.app window up and place the Activity Viewer window below the Mail.app window.
I've been using the Mail.app exclusively since Jaguar was introduced and I've always used the Activity Viewer. If you have the Mail.app window expanded to full screen, the Activity Viewer window will not stay in front. It has always been this way with all Mail.app versions.

Mountain Lion app not downloading, just sits in the dock 'waiting'.

Hi everyone,
A few weeks ago I downloaded the mountain lion software from the app store. However, the download just sits in the dock 'waiting' and doesn't download at all. It eventually disapears from my dock and tells me that there has been an error. I have emailed and rang customer support, however, I get passed on to different departments with each staff member saying 'this isn't what our department should be dealing with'. I have been told that it is to do with my internet provider (BT), but when I took the iMac (2010) back to university where I have a different internet provider, it still didn't download! (My iMac has got all the requirements for Mountain Lion).
Any help will be much appreciated as I am really getting no where with customer support.
Thanks!

While creating a new email, various portion of the mail will appear in the trash box.

after creating a new email and send sucessfully, breakdown of the full content in the mail will appear in the trash box without my intention. The breakdown were in seperate uncompleted mail/mails depending on the lenght of the email. Everytime after a simple email of about 3-5 sentences conpriseing of less then 30 words, 5 - 10 seperate trash box mail appeared. it worst when duration is longer while creating the email. Any advise to eliminate this situation??

You probably have "Store draft messages on the server" checked in the Mailbox Behaviors of the mail account(s) on which you are experiencing this, and the server's reaction to having a second, third, etc. draft of the same message stored is to put the older copy in the trash. Not all servers react like this, but some like Gmail seem to so do.
If you won't need to change Macs in the middle of composing an email message and can live with retyping a message you were composing at the time of a crash, you can probably turn off this feature.

I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 for Windows 7. I need to re-install it because my computer crashed. I saved the outer box, but I do not see a serial number and it is asking for it when I am trying to install the CD software. I went online, but the only serial number I see is when I registered the Photoshop Elements 2.0.

The serial number will be on the disc case, not the outer box. Find your serial number quickly

So just the document I was last working on in pages won't open. I can't email it either it just sits preparing the document no matter what format I try. I can copy it, but the copies don't open either.

So just the document I was last working on in pages won't open. I can't email it either it just sits preparing the document no matter what format I try. I can copy it, but the copies don't open either. I tried deleting documents in pages as well as the app and reinstalling it, but nothing has helped.

Try quitting Pages and then reset your iPad.
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.
Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Under Tools, Options, Security; how do I add a site to the "exception" box to prevent a password from being saved?

I would like to add a site to the "exceptions" box under "tools", "options", "security". This is to prevent the computer from saving a password for that site.

Some sites (like and others) like PayPal, Yahoo, Windows Live and bank sites use ''autocomplete="off"'' to prevent Firefox from saving the name and the password.
If a site uses ''autocomplete="off"'' then look at this article for a bookmarklet to remove that autocomplete attribute.
