Outgoing mail server works for one account only

This may be a coincidence but I just updated to 10.5.2 today and now my outgoing mail on one of my accounts will not send. I shared a SMTP with another one of my accounts thru SBC. I can send when using my SBC account email as sent but cannot use it on my non SBC account now. Any ideas? I tried switching to the 2nd account it should be set to but still cannot send.
I even removed and started over with the email account but still cannot send.

Hi Chris,
I am having the exact same problem. Were you ever able to solve yours?

how do I find my outgoing mail server info for gmail account setup?

Most current Mac systems have a preloaded set of information and settings for the common email providers. Try just choosing gmail and enter your userid and password at the prompts and see if the preload configures correctly for you.

Outgoing server works for one user not for other

Hi,
I just made a second user in Leopard. When logged in as the original user, the outgoing mail server works fine in Mail. When logged in as the new user, the outgoing mail server shows as 'offline' in Mail. In both cases the outgoing server is the same one.
As the new user i can only receive mail and not send any. I am pretty sure the account settings on both mail accounts r identical(Authentication, SSL etc.) (except for user specific identification of course)
Any advice/idea on what is wrong and what i can do to make the outgoing server work for both users?
Thx,
Brick

Yes I am certain the authentication is correct. When trying to send a message out Mail gives a message saying my "SMTP server does not support authentication".
When i open Mail preferences. The outgoing server is indicated as Offline.

Mail server setup for LAN use only

Hello,
I want to use smtp-notify for alert mails.
But I want to send these mails to LAN only - no internet connection is available.
How do I set up a mail server on SOL11E (pop or imap)?
The mails in /var/mail are just a simple file so I can't use them (like svccfg setnotify problem-diagnosed mailto:root@localhost )
I want to have a system where I look into my Inbox of my locally connected client. So I will be automatically aware if something happened to the Sol11E system without looking into the log files or /var/mail manually.
Thanks

Do you need this mail server just for the zfs scrub reports or for all e-mail? How are clients currently getting e-mail? If you already have a mail server inside the company, or if you already have hosted mail server for company e-mail, that should be sufficient.
If you do have an internal mail server, you should be able to set the DS parameter in sendmail.cf to specify the mail server. If you don't have an internal mail server, and you are all using external e-mail accounts, that should still work. By default, sendmail (if running) should be able to send e-mail outside the LAN. Sendmail uses DNS to locate the mail server for the recipient.
You can verify that dns is working on the client with nslookup or dig
-> nslookup -query=mx gmail.com

I don't know if Solaris 11 Express has a companion CD. Solaris 10 does- and you can MAYBE install packages from it. On OpenSolaris there is the /usr/bin/updatemanager and /usr/bin/packagemanager commands. I suspect Solaris 11 Express also has the same. On OpenSolaris you could download packages from the OpenSolaris internet repository. It MAY include the IMAP server. (it does not for the OpenSolaris server I have.)
Alternately, you could look for it on sunfreeware.com ( the Solaris 10 packages might work) or compile it from source.

Outgoing mail server settings for tiscali email

I have a Nokia 5230 operating over the UK Vodafone network.
I can receive emails on Nokia Email Messaging to my tiscali.co.uk email address but cannot send them.
Please does anyone know what the outgoing mail server setting should be? Presumably this should be a Nokia or Vodafone server rather than a tiscali one.
Thanks

@JohnMayhew
Have you tried using your Vodafone 360 login to use the 360 outgoing server?
-SMTP server:smtp.360.com
-Username and Password are the same as for the 360 account
-Requires SSL
-Uses port 465

Value help does not work for ONE person only !

Hi,
we have a strange problem. In the Web IC, we are using a standard value help for the country field for a Business Partner. This works fine for everyone (ie, it picks up the country and slots it into the field) except one person. For her, it never returns any value into the country field. We are guessing that it's not Web IC related but is something in her browser settings etc...but haven't been able to pin it down. Can anyone offer any advice on this ?
thanks for looking.
Malcolm.

Hello Malcolm,
If this error occurs for one user only it's definitely related to the clients PC.
Did you already delete all temporary files and the cookies on that PC? Usually this does the trick!
If this does not solve the problem, try to let that particular user login on another PC where the problem does not occur. (If the error does occur on another PC too it's probably profile/authorization related)
Hope this helps!
Regards,
Joost

Check for new mail not working on one account

For a number of months now I have been having trouble getting new mail. I have my Apple Mail 2.1 preferences set to check for new mail every minute and play a New Mail Sound when something arrives. This seems to be working for my earthlink POP account but not my dot.mac e-mail account. The only way to get new dot.mac e-mail on my G5 tower is to alternately click on the left most icons for the different incomming tray icons in my in box, then the InBox icon itself. I dont have to do that for my second e-mail account--an earthlink POP account, or on either account on my laptop. Also, When I do click on the specific in box for my dot mac account, it takes forever to load that new mail, and the activity monitor shows that it is caching every attachment that is already in my in box even though it is already old mail.
Also, Mail seems to be following Smart Mailboxes arbitrarily. For instance, I have a smart mailbox set up to display any incoming mail from someone in my Family Group from address book, however it seems to ignore about half of these, but display the other half accurately.
Anyone know whats going on or how to fix it so I dont have to mannually keep checking for new mail? Again, I have my preferences set to check for new mail every minute and to play a new mail sound, and new mail does work fine from my Earthlink POP account.
Thanks for your help.

If this happens to your .Mac account only, try rebuilding the mailbox, i.e. select it and do Mailbox > Rebuild.

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.

What to change to make outgoing mail server work in south korea?

I think this is a problem with my mail. I can receive mail, and reply to messages, most of the time. But I cannot send a new message and sometimes it will not let me reply to messages. I'm assuming this has something to do with my new geographical location. Does anyone know if I have to change something to make this work? I'm having a similar problem with my airport w/ airtunes wireless broadcaster (see thread under airport and airport express: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=534635&tstart=0). I have no idea what to change and I would really appreciate some help. All of my "network administrators" in korea only speak korean so hopefully we can figure this out without going through them. Hope to hear from someone soon.

If you have more than one email account on your phone, you can change the default account under Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>Default Account. Note that this setting does not appear unless you have more than one account on your phone. So, you'll need to add the email account from your ISP under Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Add New Account if you have not already done so.

Skype has Stopped Working for one account

Hi
I got an error of "Skype has stopped working" in all Operating Systems i.e. Windows, Mac, Android etc..
User Name: sonattacamara
I tested in windows with multiple skype accounts.. One account working properly.. But 'sonattacamara' account faced this problem..
So, please clear this problem.. Suggest me the solution.
Thank You..

Most likely, your Skype is crashing due to this new "http hack".
http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Skype-crashing/m-p/3996650#M347923
One of your "friends" has sent you a chat message containing malicious "http sequence", which inadvertently crashes Skype installed on different devices. Yesterday, this issue was mainly affecting Skype localized in Russian, but by now seems to be more spread.
Be aware, that due to security reason, all the posts describing in detail this hack, are removed from the Community Forum.

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,

Since update, my iPhone 3 and iPad give me a mail server error for one of my email accounts. It says I have to correct mail settings, but I always use to get this email before.

I receive a "cannot get mail" message when my iPhone and iPad try to retrieve one of my email accounts. Since updating, it says to verify account information in mail settings. I haven't changed information.

Rarely data and settings are corrupted during an update. What happened when you verified the mail account settings as suggested? Even if they appear OK, I suggest deleting and reinstalling the account.

Keyboard shortcuts from Greek Input not working for my account only

I just upgraded to Leopard from Tiger 10.4.11 on my MBP 2.4 listed below. The Installer took care of everything, and after it was finished, my own account, the only Admin account, misbehaves when it comes to keyboard shortcuts in the Finder or any other app. To use the shortcuts, the Input flag must US English. If it's Greek, nothing works.
If I switch to the other two accounts on my Mac, one of which was carried over from the Tiger setup, the other I setup after the OS upg, both of which are Std accounts, not Admin, shortcuts work regardless of the keyboard input flag.
Tips, anyone?

That's alright, folks, problem solved:
Ran Leopard Cache Cleaner, and selected from Caches the third option (deep clean).
Thanks, anyway. Hope this may help some other poor sod.

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.
