Outgoing mail & router problem - can't send (can receive) messages through Mail on specific network

Hello everyone,
There's a problem that's been bugging me for quite some time now. I'm using Mail to handle my gmail email, and everything's working fine, except when i'm connected to my work wifi.
When i'm connected to my work wifi I can't send e-mails. Mail will try to send a message (it shows a loading icon next to the 'Sent' mailbox)
for a few minutes before notifying me that it cannot send the message. When I look at the 'Activity' window, it seems to be stuck on 'checking account connections' and 'sending message'..
The strange thing is, when I switch networks to some other wireless network (my home network, or our neighbors, for example), the message is sent straight away and everything works perfectly.
I'm using the standard gmail settings (smtp.gmail.com, standard ports & password authentication)..
My work router is a Thomson TG789vn.
I hope someone can help :-)
Cheers, Peppoo.
p.s. I just testing sending again, and was able to send 1 email. It took about 20 min to send.. ( :-s ), it was only text.. weird.

Hey Lanny, thanks for your reply.
Hmm.. I can't imagine that being the case.. Sending e-mail from the browser works just fine.

  • How can i send and receive messages through CAN

    Hi,
    how can i send and receive messages using Vector CAN CARDXL

    As mentioned in this forum post, if you have a dll, this can easily be called from LabVIEW or CVI.
    I also went to the vector website and it does look like they have LabVIEW drivers available for download.

  • Can't send or receive comcast e-mail

    Can't send or receive e-mail on my iMac through Comcast for about 2 months now.  Same problem with all users set up in the computer.  Can connect ok to the internet, but can't access www.comcast.net unless I reset Safari, then can only access once.  Tried setting up new mail account, but get error message that it can't connect to server mail.comcast.net.  Comcast blames it on last apple software update.  I don't think that's the problem.  Tried changing ports from 995 to 587 and 465 with no luck.  Uncheck SSL box, no luck.  Reset cable modem box, got incoming mail once, then no more.  Outgoing mail still would not send.  Not much help from the blogoshpere. 
    Any good suggestions out there?

    Hi BGreg,
    Thanks.  My e-mail has been set up and working fine since I bought the iMac a few years ago.  Problem with e-mail started at the end of March.  I've checked all of the settings per the instructions on setting up the account.  I've been on the phone with Comcast to troubleshoot and they are unable to help.  Not sure why I can't even access Comcast.net without resetting safari.  I have no trouble with the e-mail account on my PC (same Comcast account).  Both my and my wife e-mail on the iMac don't work.  Not sure what else it could be with the iMac.  Comcast blames iMac software update for the problem.  iMac software is up to date.
    Thanks

  • When I try to go to the photo gallery to choose a picture to send to my email address by using my Iphone it can't send or receive messages. Yahoo password is being asked which I have forgotten. How can I correct this?

    With my my I phone as I try to choose a picture from the photo gallery to send it via email using my Iphone, I can't seem to send nor receive messages anymore. It is asking for my yahoo password. What password will that be as I have forgotten it. I know what my personal password on my yahoo address when I go to a regular laptop or desktop but with Iphone I am unable to to retrieve this password because it does not give you an option to change a password. What shall I do to correct this problem?

    It's the same password.  Go to settings - mail - yahoo - enter the password for your incoming and outgoing mail server.

  • "Can not get password" Can't send or receive messages all of a sudden.

    Out of the blue my Thunderbird client will no longer send or receive messages.
    Here's the error message I get: "Sending of message failed.
    An error occurred sending mail: Could not get password for [our server name]. The message was not sent."
    The only thing I can come up with that may have caused it would be that I restarted my computer due to a completely unrelated issue (Illustrator kept crashing). Shortly after that, this issue began. I'd really to resolve this without uninstalling thunderbird, I use thunderbird heavily for my job and thus everything is set up, filed, and organized the way I need it.
    I've tried restarting thunderbird, restarting my computer (Mac, OSX Yosemite if that matters) and none of these things are working.
    Thunderbird has worked flawlessly for the past two years up until now. No updates were installed that I know of. My password is good, I'm able to type it in on our webmail client (atmail) and log in without issue.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Go to Preferences -> Security -> Passwords -> Saved Passwords... and remove the entries for the account. Restart TB. It should ask you for your new password.
    If that doesn't fix it, we need to look at your settings.

  • TS4268 I can't send or receive messages on my iPhone 4

    I can't send or receive any messages on my iPhone 4 I have reset it but nothing I have checked all my settings etc but nothing seems to help! Please help

    That's right. You can only send an iMessage to another iPhone. You can send text messages to anyone that has a phone capable of receiving texts.
    Edit: Did your original subject say iMessage? I could swear it did. I'm sorry if it didn't. Ignore this then.
