Outgoing Mail Server(SMTP)

Does anyone know what the host name for the outgoing mail server is suppose to be, right now I have it listed as smtp1.attglobal.net, but it's saying cannot send out mail the connection to the outgoing server smtp1.attglobal.net failed. Can anyone give me the correct outgoing server.

Try this first:

The Outgoing mail server depends on who your email provider is. You can usually get information on the provider's web site for settings, or check the settings on your computer; they will generally be the same. HOWEVER, if your ISP is your email provider they may not allow use of their outgoing mail server unless you are connected to their network. In this case you would be able to send mail connected to your home wireless network, but no from other wireless networks or using EDGE on the phone.
If this is your situation you have several options:
1. For EDGE use only, use cwmx.com as the outgoing mail server, no user id or password. This will not work when connected via a WiFi network.
2. Create a gmail account and use their server; this requires user id and password.
3. Us a paid SMTP site (e.g., godaddy.com)

OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages

Mail: "outgoing mail server (smtp)" not being saved

In Mail settings I have a default "outgoing mail server (smtp)" selected, but when I go to send mail, it changes to 'gmail'
How can I get it to work the way it's supposed to.
It's worked correctly for ever, but exhibited this new behavior recently.

I think I have the same problem without Exchange involved. I have seven different email accounts and two of them are acting like you describe: changes like deleting doesn't reflect on other clients (like mobile phone email client and webmail).
This also happens with read emails showing up unread so that if the email is been read and deleted same message can appear as new and when that message is deleted I can see two separate items of that same email message.
Also all marks of reply, forward or flagged are gone when the email show up as new again.
My service provider said that updates to Mail.app have previously made some big changes to way how it acts with email servers and thought that Mail is misbehaving with my two email systems.
I am using IMAP protocol with all accounts.
Thanks for any info and help!

Problems sending mail: some problem with the outgoing mail server SMTP?

I can't send e mails: some problem with the outgoing mail server SMTP?

I had this same problem with both my imac and mac book pro using hotmail via mac mail with bt as my internet provider. Suddenly 4 months ago out of nowhere i could receive emails but could not send them. I scoured all the threads followed all the fixes none of them worked. However I just phoned apple support and fixed it in a matter of minutes. I am SO happy. This is what the technician advised me:
Go to your apple icon and scroll down to system preferences. Then dependant on what machine you have it is different for my imac and mac book pro click on either air port/wifi then the advanced tab in the bottom right hand corner. Then click on the DNS tab. Hit the + sign on the left hand side and type in 8.8.8.8 then hit the + sign again on the left hand side it will create a new line underneathe and type 8.8.4.4 then hit okay on the bottom right and then hit apply, again on the bottom right. Then send a test email to check but it should be fixed.
Had to share this. Its been driving me mad for months.

TS4002 How do you re-establish the outgoing mail server (SMTP)?

I am trying to re-establish my outgoing mail server (smtp). I can receive mail, but can't send any out. I have tried all the listed options in the pull-down, but just can't make any of it work.

If you are setting this up on your Mac using Snow Leopard, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5330. The outgoing mail server is smtp.me.com.

Don't delete te old account yet.
I think they're slowing nudging people to the fact that MobilMe & .mac is going away shortly in favor of iCloudinees!
MobileMe & dot Mac will still work last I heard.
iCloud Mail setup, even in 10.4/10.5…
Don't delete your old account yet. Just setup a new one in Mail>Preferences>Accounts, little plus icon. Choose IMAP as account type, not ,mac or MobileMe.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 993
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)

Cannot find outgoing mail server (smtp) for my email account.

I am trying to set up my college email account and cannot find the smtp sever. I contacted IT at my school and they said they had no idea what I was talking about... I know that it uses microsoft outlook.. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could find the server. (I did however find the mailgate and entered my username and password)

johnnyg713,
It sounds like your school might be utilizing an Exchange server. You may want to ask if it is possible to access the server via IMAP, and if so what to use for incoming and outgoing server settings.
This article has more information on setting up email on the iPhone:

Hope this helps,

Gmail Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) is Offline

Starting yesterday the gmail SMTP server is offline.
I tried deleting and readding the accounts but to no avail.
Any advice?
Thanks so much.

RESOLVED - I don't know how to delete this post, but suffice it to say, I quit mail, opened it and suddenly gmail became an option from the dropdown menu.
Thank you, Lord!

HT2497 outgoing mail server SMTP (offline)

One of my accounts in Mail is permanently showing SMTP offline. How do I correct this? I cannot send mail! Thanks.

Have you considered calling your sevice provider to verify it is working properly?
What does the Mail Connection Doctor report.

Sent message from Mac Mail work email shows my personal gmail account as Mail to: and account summary shows outgoing mail server as smtp.google while incoming shows imap.google

sent email from work through Mac Mail shows to the sender Mail to: (personal gmail). Account summary shows smtp.google on outgoing server and imap.google on incoming

Is there a way to add this automatically?
For a semi-permanent change, the Sending Server is named as "OutGoing Mail Server SMTP" on the Preference pane for each Mail Account.
To change its specifics, move the mouse cursor over it and choose "Edit SMTP Server List" from the drop-down Menu. Then choose the SMTP Server you wish to inspect/change and its information will be shown. If using similar ones for two different email accounts, change the description field, e.g., change "gmail" to "gmail (work)".

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?

Mail 2.1.3 outgoing mail server not recognized

I am running Mail 2.1.3 (OS 10.4.11) on an old power book. I use the outgoing mail server "smtp.me.com:name" . Each time Mail is restarted, sending an email results in the error message "Cannot verify SSL server...". Hitting Continue lets the message be sent. Using the prescribed solution: ((1) show certificate (2) move certificate to desk top (3) double click and choose X509anchor) has no effect. Changing the Port number e.g. from 25 to 587, also has no effect. Is there a solution to this problem, or is there something wrong with "smtp.me.com"?

I did the suggested set-up, but no joy. The result was as before:
There is no option "SMTP Authentification required" What I see is
Hitting Continue still works, but clearly there is still something wrong. Do you have any other suggestions?

Outgoing mail server won't save

Just updated to cable modem and new provider. In Mail, Preferences I reset my Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) with the settings from my new provider. This server is the only one in the list and I checked the box "Use only this server."
However, at least three times a day for the last couple days since I set this up, I am unable to send a message. This is not always when I restart Mail; it has happened when Mail has been open and I have already sent something.
The error message asks me to select a server. When I look at the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) section in Account Information, it is set to None. If I go in and reset it, the system prompts me to save it, and I can send that message (and many after it). But this has happened several times; it seems to occasionally forget that I selected this server. I am not sure what else to do.
OS X 10.7.3
Mail 5.2
Advice eagerly sought...

My problem is similar. Every so often (random, no pattern) out of the blue the SMTP server is forgotten. I don't have multiple outgoing servers, so it just asks me 'which one' I want to use. And of course there's only one listed, so I use that, and it sends just fine. WHY does it keep forgetting to use the one server I have listed? Makes no sense.

Can receive mail, can not send mail and can connect to outgoing mail server

I am able to receive email, but I am not able to send email. I have run the Connection doctor - My email connects and logs in to the verizon mail server. My outgoing mail goes into a send folder but doesn't go out. I connect to the Outgoing Mail Server. Any suggestions?

change your outgoing mail server (SMTP) port in mail preferences to port 587.....
