Outgoing mail sits in outbox on Macbook Pro

On the MacBook Pro, OS 10.9.5, mail stopped going out from all three accounts. Incoming mail is fine. Connection Doctor says connected. Checked the settings with one of the accounts and are correct. Does anyone have a solution? It seems to be Mail related. Thanks.

Usually it's a password issue with SMTP.
EDIT SMTP SETTINGS
In Accounts window > Outgoing Mail Server SMTP: select to Edit SMTP Server list... from popup.
Select account in the list.(It's not uncommon to find extra SMTP servers listed. When you remove account, Mail does not delete the smtp info. You might need to do some clean up in the list to remove the extras.)
Under Advanced Tab:
Apple defaults to the default ports (25,465, 587) but some servers prefer a custom port. Check to see what port they recommend. Gmail for example likes 465, Outlook.com 587, Comcast 465
(note: Mail really likes to default to 587 in Yosemite now. Try entering 465 and see if that helps)
Verify if your server require SSL.
User Name. Enter full email address eg. [email protected]
Add password if it is blank.
Open Connection Doctor under Window in the Menu bar.
Do you see green light now for your account SMTP?
Comcast IMAP Settings:
Incoming server: imap.comcast.net
Outgoing server: smtp.comcast.net
Authentication ON
Incoming Port: 993 with SSL ON
Outgoing Port:
465 with SSL ON

TS3276 Gmail outgoing mail stuck in Outbox-please help

I have several Gmail accounts and one particular account is putting all of my outgoing mail in the OUTBOX when I send from my Macbook Pro, but not from my iPhone.
How do I fix this?
Thanks!

Are you using mail.app?
Have you tried going to Message in the Menu Bar and selecting "Send Again" ?

I have Yahoo Mail synced on my new macbook pro. Keeps asking for password

I have Yahoo Mail synced on my new macbook pro. It it consistently asking to re-enter the password. Does anyone else have this problem? I have deleted it and reinstalled it several times. It did not do this on my previous macbook.

Does anyone else have this problem?
There are several similar reports on this site every day.
I've never used Yahoo mail and my knowledge of it is second-hand. This is what I've been able to gather.
If you have a free Yahoo account, POP access to incoming mail from a mail client such as Apple Mail is not supported. A free account is accessible only through IMAP (and then perhaps only on mobile devices — the documentation is unclear) or the web interface.
As for a paid Yahoo account, or an account through an ISP such as AT&T, you must enable POP access through the web interface. I've seen reports that you must periodically (every two weeks?) log in to the "Manage Account" page on the website to confirm your identity.
I've also seen reports that eliminating all UPPER CASE letters from the password, and shortening it to no more than 7 characters, may help. That's barely, if at all, adequate for security, and you must be sure to choose the password randomly. It should not be easy to type or remember.
That said, so many problems with Yahoo mail are reported that I can't recommend using Mail as a client for it. You might get better results with another mail client, such as Thunderbird. If not, just use the webmail interface. That's how it was designed to work. Better yet, don't use Yahoo at all.

Mail sits in outbox and doesn't send

mail sits in outbox and doesn't send

remember there is both a mail Sender and a mail Receiver. Receiver setup information is easy to find, but Sender setup information is a little harder to find.
Use exactly the settings your ISP provided, or use this Apple Mail Setup Assistant. (rest assured, Apple does not use this to collect your email address.)
https://www.apple.com/support/mail-settings-lookup/
The easy-to-see info in Mail preferences is for your Mail Receiver. This corresponds to the top part of the box from the Apple site.
You need to use Connection Doctor and click on the red light to get easy access to the Mail Sender info. This corresponds to the bottom part of the box from the Apple site.

E-mail synchronising on Imac and MacBook Pro

How do I synchronise my e-mail on my Imac and MacBook Pro?
Also, How does it work between my Imac and my IPAD?

I am having this problem with Mac OS 10.5.8, Mail.app 3.6, iPhone 4.1, using my own domain name with pop.gmail.com.
The troublesome emails do appear when I login to Gmail, they just don't make it to mail.app
Please advise.

"Wir nutzen aber zusammen unter "für alle Benutzer" eine iPhoto Mediathek."
Diese Methode klappt nicht mehr für die neuen MacOS X Versionen. Das einzige, was gut klappt, ist die Mediathek auf einer eigenen Festplatte oder Partition einer Platte anzulegen und für diese Festplatte/Partition die Markierung zum Ignorieren der Zugriffsrechte zu aktivieren. Das wird in dem obigen Artikel gut erklärt.
Eine eigene externe Festplatte ist ohnehin nicht schlecht - auf diese Weise ist viel Platz für die Bilder da.

Auf jeden Fall würde ich die Zugriffsrechte für die Mediathek nochmals reparieren, bevor sie auf eine eigene Platte oder Partition verschoben wird:

The password it prompts for is the third password line in a box under 1) my name and 2) my me.com email address. I assume it is the password I set up back in 2009 when I bought my MacBook Pro. However, I have since fogotten it, and it doesn't give you an opportunity to "remember" it.
Thank you!

I have had to "re-instate" "Mail" on my 5yr old Macbook Pro after it got "lost"during an s/w upgrade to Snow Leopard v10.6.8. In reinstated version all my Email archive folders are now missing from the screen. How/where do I find them ??

I recently purchased Snow Leopard v10.6.3 in order to upgrade the OSX platform on my 5 year old Macbook Pro. That loaded without trouble. Then I needed to do an online upgrade from 10.6.3 to 10.6.8 (via 10.6.4) and there the trouble commenced !! Somewhere along the way, the "Mail" application simply disappeared! On advice from Apple telephone support, I did a "selective" reinstall of "Mail" from the Snow Leopard disk, but the version of Mail it loaded (v4.5) was wrong for use with OSX v10.6.8 and so it kept asking for the 'latest" version (v4.6) and just would not work. I tried a "Fix" download provided on the Apple site, that didn't work.
I spent 2 hours at the Genius Bar of my local Apple Store and they finally found a fix, after some difficulty. Apparently there had been a programming error somewhere in one of the Apple update downloads.
So now I have "Mail" back - but the Mailbox folders now not as they were before - particularly they do not contain my archive Folders that I had been using to store certain historic emails.
I think the folder structure on "Mail" is now identical to that on my "BT Yahoo" screen - whereas before they had been different. My local Apple Store told me that it was practice now to synchronise the "Mail" screen and (for example) the BT Yahoo screen to be identical. This is well and good going forward - but does not help me with access to my historic "email filing system" !!
Anyone help me find those missing folders ?? They must be stored somewhere, but where ??!!
Cheers

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

OUTGOING MAIL PROBLEMS ON IPAD AND ACBOOK PRO

Whenever I send emails through my business mails to yahoo, gmail and other mail clients from my iPad and macbook pro, it is rejected by the server. My business mail is hosted by siteground.com.
When sending the same mails on non apple devices, it goes through alright. I have tried different options of the outgoing mail servers and ports as suggested by my host but still have issues. There are no issues with incoming mails on the apple devices. How do i resolve these problems?

From the Mail menu bar, select
Window ▹ Connection Doctor
Click the Show Detail button. A drawer opens. Send a message and post the text that appears. Anonymize any personal information before posting.

AOL mail will not work on MacBook Pro, but works on iMac

My wife has attempted to check her aol mail account online, through Safari, and every message that she opens appears as "garbage." I recently installed Snow Leopard on both of our computers. AOL mail works on my iMac, but not her Macbook Pro. Honestly, among other issues, I'm a little disappointed with Snow Leopard. Leopard was released without problems for either of us.

Did you ever find out what the problem is???

Shared mailbox outlook 2013 sent mail sitting in outbox folder

Hi guys,
I am hope you might be able to assist.
I have users who access a shared mailbox (primary mailbox) as delegates with full permissions and send as permissions. They also have a nested mailbox which is their own personal mailbox. Mail sends from both mailboxes and when it behaves mail gets delivered
to the sent item of the sender. But on a common recurrence mail sits in the Outbox of the delegate mailbox when sent from that mailbox. They can hit send/receive and it will force mail to send and also mail can delay for several minutes at times. This is also
seen in OWA.
Removing the nested mailbox and adding it as a additional mailbox allows mail to flow without issue but mail sent from the additional mailbox gets placed in the sent items of the primary mailbox. Client would prefer the sent items to be kept separate (tried
DelegateSentItemsStyle).
The exchange is a Exchange 2013 VM server and the client's use remote desktop services to access the platform. Also each Windows mail client is configured to use HTTP and cache mode is disabled for remote services. Last applied update was on the 08/2014.
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
PJ

Hi,
From your description, when you send a message from shared mailbox, the message is sitting in Outbox folder. I have seen some people have this issue, it is recommended to run Outlook using Cached mode as a workaround.
Hope this can be helpful to you.

Syncing mail between iMac G5 and Macbook Pro

I work at home on a G5 and regularly read and then delete or file my emails. I regularly sync between my G5 and Macbook Pro, which I use when traveling. My syncing routine works fine with the address book, calendar, etc., but when I go my Macbook Pro Mail account after syncing, the inbox is still full of mail that I have already read and filed on the G5. Is the syncing routine designed to replicate the mail accounts or do I need to reread, delete, and file the emails on the Macbook as well.
PS: I am using email accounts with cox.net, i.e., not mac.com accounts.
Thanks for any help.

The underlying issue here is that you have chosen to use POP3 rather than IMAP mail accounts. Only IMAP mailboxes are 'synchronized' by default: it is virtually impossible to synchronize POP3 mailbox content.
For a discussion of POP3, IMAP and mail synchronization options, take a look at the Mail & Address Book - Tiger forum located here.
