Outgoing Mail not working on OS 10.5.8?

I have a MAC G4 with OS 10.5.8 I was able to set up Mail but I am not able to send mail only receive--any suggestion to why I cannot send mail?

Have you use the correct outgoing server - smtp.mail.me.com and SSL is required. I would suggest removing the account and starting again, following the instructions applicable to Leopard in this page:
iCloud and Snow Leopard

Outgoing Mail Not Working in Yosemite

My outgoing mail server SMTP does not work now that I have updated my OS to Yosemite. I have checked all passwords and setting to be the same as they were in Maverick but no luck. I have tried to delete my mail account and start over but still no luck.

Here is a screen shot of the connection Doctor. Incoming emails work.

Outgoing Mail not working via personal hotspot

Hi, I am using an iPhone 5 to tether from my macbook pro. Mail works fine when connected to wifi but when I tether via the personal hotspot it fails to send emails. My provider is Three and I have tethered via a friend's iphone 5S also with Three and it works fine. Any clues?

Who is the email account provider?
Sounds like the email account provider doesn't have an authenticated SMTP server or if they do, you aren't using it.
All email received and sent with a Blackberry is routed through RIM's dedicated email delivery service so not the same. Completely different from a Blackberry, the iPhone's Mail app communicates direct with the incoming and outgoing mail servers for an email account just as is done with an email client on your Mac or with an email client on a PC.

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.

Bellsouth outgoing mail not working

I am having trouble making my ITouch accept the Outgoing Setting on the Server Port. I followed the link that someone had posted earlier and tried all of those suggestions. The person said that it took him a while to get his touch to accept no port setting. Mine keeps putting in the number, 587.
Can anyone possibly help me with this? I can receive mail, I just cannot send any.
Thanks!

Outgoing Mail not working with Mail.app in 10.5.7

I am helping my mom set up her email accounts on her new macbook laptop. It has 10.5.7
I have tried setting up two different email accounts in mail.app, one is a roadrunner webmail account, and the other is a gmail account. For the roadrunner account, I followed their instructions, which can be seen here: http://help.rr.com/HMSFaqs/eOSXmail.aspx
With the gmail account, mail.app was able to do the setup itself from the email address and password.
I know that the account information is partially correct because with both the accounts they were able to correctly download email onto the computer into mail.app. But both accounts have not been able to successfully send an email.
I can provide any other information about the settings used in the outgoing server or advanced information if it would be helpful.

This is so strange. The exact same thing happened to me yesterday. Suddenly, on my Mac and my PC, I was no longer able to SEND email. I am able to receive email...just not send. I too am a Comcast customer. I contacted Comcast and they, of course, said the problem had to do with the servers that my email client is trying to access and that it had nothing to do with them. We then set up my Comcast.net email account (which I never use) and it worked fine (sending and receiving).
So, I switched my other accounts to use Comcast's smtp server and that worked on the Mac only. I can now send email on my Mac but not on my PC.
This leads me to believe that it is not something wrong with my email client (since I have the problem on both my Mac and PC) but instead, something is up with Comcast.
I checked and it turns out that Comcast just implemented a new Acceptable Use Policy which specifically implements a NEW traffic management policy. This was JUST implemented this month. So, I am getting the sneaking suspicion that Comcast is somehow denying me access to those SMTP servers and I have to use their SMTP server instead.
Does this make any sense to anyone???? I am at a total loss here.
Thanks,
Susan

OUTGOING MAIL NOT WORKING IN OUTLOOK EXPRESS AGAIN

This verizon email system is horrible. Right now I have not changed any of my settings but for some reason verizon yahoo email has decided not to send out any of my outgoing email settings.
My outgoing STMP is set at: outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net
port: 25
I have the the correct username and password. If I go onto yahoo verizon from my browser it will let me send mail.
It just decided to stop working with Outlook Express today. Seems like once a month there is some kind of problem with this verizon crap.

Just to make sure, check to see if these settings are the same in outlook express
Incoming server = incoming.verizion.net (or incoming.yahoo.verizon.net if you have the yahoo portal partner)
Outgoing server = outgoing.verizon.net (outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net with yahoo partner)
do not check the "use SSL" check box
Make sure that your username does not have the @verizon.net extention.
make sure that your password is correct
Make sure that you check the box in more settings that says "my outgoing server requires authentication" and put a dot in the radial button that says "use the same settings as my incoming server"
check the advanced settings and make sure that the outgoing port number is port 587
Make sure that none of the "SSL" check boxes are checked.
if all that is correct it should be working

Error exists between keyboard and chair.

Outgoing Mail Not Working

Edited SMTE lists and passwords all to no avail. Connection Doctor is good to go, yet no results.

Hi,
in Mail -> Preferences -> Advanced -> SSL
Make sure the smtp server you are trying to contact is running SSL on port 993 or if it is not, then this box should be unchecked.

Outgoing mail not working for iphone and Microsoft Outlook

I am a realtor and I just recently started using Microsoft Outlook as I was told that was the best for contact management. I was using Yahoo. Now I can receive but I CANNOT SEND. If I try it says "The connection to the outgoing server "smtp.pamelainhawaii.com" failed" I have tried changing the Server Port to 465, 110 etc and turning the SSL on and off and it doesn't seem to sense my email address which is my website. I did sign up for Yahoo Plus so it would connect my yahoo address with my Outlook one.....Can anyone help me?

Pamelainhawaii,
Who do you pay to to host your email?
Outlook is an email client, it isn't the server, it is how you retrieve your email.
Look at your email like a PO Box, in which case the Post Office "hosts" the PO box.
Your email client is what you use to get to the server, kind of like your car might be how you drive down to the post office.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

Mail SMTP (outgoing) does not work after Yosemite upgrade

I have just updated Yosemite on my Mac and MacBook Air and the outgoing mails cannot be sent - the SMTP-connection fails.
It worked fully Ok few seconds before the upgrade was started.
So, I wonder if anyone or Apple can help on getting the Outgoing mails to work again.

For those of you having email password issues, I'd suggest:
1) Close your mail client (i.e. Apple Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook, etc).
2) Launch "Applications" > "Utilities" > "Keychain Access.app"
3) Select "login" from the sidebar top left area, then select "Passwords" in lower left area
4) Click into the Search box in the upper right and search for your ISPs server names. For example, type "aol" or "google" or "comcast", etc.
5) Look through the search results for password entries related to your SMTP (outgoing) or IMAP/POP (incoming) mail servers. Select them and delete them.
6) Open your email client and try to receive mail, and then to send mail. You should be prompted to enter your mail username and/or password.
Hopefully this might fix issues for those of you using mail clients that use Keychain for credential storage.

SMTP Server down/Outgoing mail stopped working

Wednesday morning, July 1, my outgoing mail stopped working. I'm using Mac Mail on OSX Yosemite. Incoming mail is working just fine. Outgoing says it can't make a connection.I have it set as smtp.comcast.net port 465 Use SSL is checked. Password authentication. I have rebooted the router (which came from Comcast). I've tried unchecking password authentication, chaging to port 567. Nothing works.

No.. Still isn't working. I tried the .plist edit solution (which frankly, seemed like a bad idea) and deleting all the comcast entries from the keychain. I was prompted for a password when receiving mail, but sending mail is still not working.

Mail not working in new mini mac

i got new mini mac and mail not working. i get this message.
You have Mail version 4.2 (1078/1084). It can’t be used on Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 (Build 10K549). For more information, click the Help button.
dont know what to do
thanks

Should be Mail 4.5. With Spotlight, check to see if you have more than one version of the Mail app onboard. Also, make sure that there is one at the root level of the Applications folder, and that it is namely simply Mail before applying the Combo.
