Outgoing mail unable to send "senders address invalid" how do I fix it?

I cannot send any mail from my icqmail /(aol ) accout. Every time I try to send mail it comes up 'senders address invalid'. Which I know it's not, but I can send mail trough my hotmail accout. I have my icqmail accout as default accout which is my main accout I need to be able to send emails! Help!

Hi..I am lucky, the Apple Store is right near me so I went to Genius Bar for help, we completey cleared out and reset my email accounts, AOL and .mac...basically started from scratch and let leopard set it up and then mail worked....However, then synching with my IPhone, I could not delete mail from my mail account...somehow some of the old server names were still there..so went in and deleted those.... and changed the setting save deleted mail on server to "no" and that solved it......
So my AOL in the Mail application is now working but I cannot attach in AOL..Called AOL and that seems to be a problem they are working on....

  • Today my phone was stolen, so i called my service provider and had my account suspended. then i found it at a pawn shop, so i reactivated it. however, my phone says that it has no SIM and I am unable to send/recieve any messages. how can i fix it?

    Today while I was at work my phone was stolen. After unsuccessfully trying to track down the kids who had it, I called my service provider and asked them to suspend my account. A short time later, I found my phone at a local pawn shop and called to reactivate my phone's service. The woman on the phone said that it should only take a few minutes to reactivate. However, a coworker also told me that whenever a theft gets reported to the service provider, apple puts your phone's serial number on a list that disables yours phone's re-enactment until the service provider confirms that the phone has been found. I'm not sure if this is true, but my phone should have been working a few hours ago, and it still says that there is no SIM everytime I try to send a message. Should I just wait it out or is it more likely to be at the fault of my service provider?
    Thanks!

    The SIM question/issue is separate from all of the others.  Your iPhone will not access the cellular newtwork until you install a new SIM.  The current SIM has been deactivated and is now useless.  Get a new SIM, install it (or have it installed), then have your carrier grant the iPhone access to the cellualr network.

  • HT5361 I am unable to start or select the MAIL app. No incoming mail and no outgoing mail. I do not even know how to get an answer without email. Can you help?

    Thank you Carolyn, How helpless you can feel without this App!
    Going into the App Store as you suggest, I see 'thee updates available", the first says, 'X RESTART', the second says, 'Garage Band, an error has occurred" (in red), and the third 'Memory Clean, UPDATE'.
    Am I correct in thinking that OSX is the problem, because it is waiting for a restart?
    Kind regards,

    Create a new mailbox under On My Mac, download the e-mails and then drag them to the new folder. If necessary, go to iCloud and delete the downloaded e-mails.

    Are you running modified software on your phone?  This error seems to be common if the firmware has been modified and you're trying to restore the phone again.

    You mean the Apple Mail app? Updated through software Update in the Apple Menu?.
    Or maybe you downloaded Mail from another source?
    Do you still have Snow Leopard or didn't you update your profile?

  • Mail unable to send any emails

    Hi,
    In my office I have setup my MacBook Pro Mail. I can receive emails but can't send any out. I read that I should use Connection Doctor. I know my incoming mail server address but not the smtp. How should I trouble shoot?

    guys refuse to share the outgoing server details. Hence, I am only able to retrieve my emails but am unable to send out.
    Perhaps they are not clear on what settings you need? The settings you need are what any user with any computer (Mac, Windows, Unix, Linux, whatever) would need to configure their email program. You aren't asking for anything special here.
    Consider showing the article I mentioned (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1277) to your IT person so he/she sees what it is your are looking for (and why...you want to use your email).
    If that does not work you might want to seek someone higher up the IT chain to talk to (Or go to your superior and ask them to intercede as you are being denied what you need to use your tools.)
    Asking for one's email settings is not like asking for nuclear missile launch codes from the US government. If you are someone who has an account given to you by your organization you need the settings to use the account assigned to you. Unless of course they intend for you to only be able to receive and not send. In which case, everything is as it should be.

  • Mail, unable to send or receive

    Unable to send email from MAIL using OS X 10.7.4
    For the past couple months, I can recieve but cannot send email messages. Called sever,but was told the problem was with my mail program. On my Mac Book OS X 10.6.8 am able to send but not receive. Any ideas as to solving this dilema?

    can you open mail, then preferences accounts please?
    Then tell  is your outgoing mail server the same as the account you are in? and is the box "use only this server" checked?
    If not, it could be that- and then the various mail servers, instead of matching your account willl scramble at random..so no your dot mac mail will NOT go out on your aol server...etc.
    See? Open it- then also tell how many mail accounts you have.

  • Mail unable to send, Again

    For the second time in six months I can't send any mail last time it was due to the cloud introduction but I don't know what has changed now. I just keep getting a message saying it can't connect to the server and stuff about certificates being out of date. Is there a way to fix this?

    The servers changed on the switch to iCloud & dropping of MobilMe on July 1st, a very few stragglers have had recieve still work.
    Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
    I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    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)
    • Password: Your iCloud password
    Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria:  8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers.  If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message.  Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.

  • .Mac Mail Unable to Send

    I am able to receive e-mail from mac.com account and from Mindspring. I can usually (but not always send mail from Mindspring. For the last several days I have been unable to send e-mail from mac.com account. Last night I tried for several hours to send e-mail from mindspring using MacBook Pro but was unsuccessful. In frustration, I re-typed the e-mail on my PC and sent it via mindspring without any problems. 2-3 hours earlier I was able to send e-mail through my MacBook. I changed no settings in the interim and obviously mindspring was working fine at the time. I am new to Mac and want to change my e-mail to mac.com but it has been wholly unreliable. ANY HELP?
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
    With each account, what SMTP are you using as the Outgoing Server? If for the .mac account you are using smtp.mac.com, are you presenting to on Port 587? If not, try changing to Port 587.
    For the Mindspring account, are you using the Earthlink authenticated SMTP, or another?
    More info, please.

  • Why does Mail change the sender email address?

    My email address from work has a subdomain: "[email protected]".
    Although my mac Mail account is set up correctly with that email address in the account settings, when I send mail, users receive it showing that the sender (from:) is "[email protected]" - it drops the subdomain and replies to that address get bounced back.
    Does anybody know why this is happening?
    Thanks -

    In the From header of the copy of the message in teh sent box,
    it reads correctly as [email protected]
    Does this provide me a clue?
    Sure it does. What you see in Sent is what Mail sends to the outgoing (SMTP) server. If the message gets changed afterwards, some agent other than Mail (probably the outgoing server) is doing it...
    I know that Gmail’s outgoing server, for example, does this. In order to be able to use Gmail's SMTP server with another address, you must first enable that address in Gmail's Settings > Accounts page, and let Gmail validate it by verifying that you do indeed own it. If you don't do this, even though Mail will correctly send the message from the address you specify, Gmail's SMTP server will silently change it to the address associated with the Gmail account that corresponds to the username specified during SMTP authentication, instead of refusing to send the message as other SMTP servers would do in those circumstances.

  • Outgoing mail does not send, times out

    I have two macs, one wireless and the other connected by ethernet to the internet both through a DSL modem. There are two users, each has an account on each mac. Each user has a yahoo plus mail account. I have been using Tiger and OS X mail without trouble since last year. Mail is setup to work with the Yahoo server as a POP server. The arrangement is nice since all mail stays on the server and is accessible from any internet site anywhere. In addition, there is the tight integration with OSX from Mail.
    Recently one user could not send from the wireless mac. The other user could. Reading mail was OK. Performance on the ethernet mac was OK. Creating a new user and directing that user to the POP account allowed sending.
    I tried alot of things as sugggested in some of the other topics here, including the drastic move of deleting the mail folder in the affected user's library and setting up a new account.
    It turned out the problem was fixed by re specifying the outgoing mail server in the mail preferences. The server was incorrectly specified as smpt.mail.yahoo.com. The correct specification is smtp....
    I had presumed I had made the dyslexic typo error when re establishing the account info on the affected mac.
    However, about a week later, the other user account on the other mac behaved the same way. In fact, the outgoing server specification had the same error of smpt...
    Once changing back to smtp... all was well, even with reboots and the other users logged off. The fix was simply to add the correct outgoing server URL, select it as the one to use and delete the incorrect one.
    Explanation? I can think of two possiblities:
    1)the error was always present in these two Mail account specifications on just those macs and the service that interprets the URL allowed it, but changed recently so it would not accomodate the error.
    2)something changed the URL, but I can't think of how I could possibly have done it in the second instance. Is there anyway some kind of virus would cause this trouble?
    So, I offer this tale in case someone else is experiencing the same difficulty. Judging from some of the other threads in the forum this may be a help.

    It could not have been caused by a virus, since there are no viruses for Mac OS X. I would guess it was a typo when you first setup the account, and when you set it up again, a user may have gone to Preferences and selected the Outgoing mail server drop down menu and inadvertently selected the typo'd server entry.
