Outgoing mail will not go

there a messages stuck in the outbox. a window pops up "cannot send mail The sender address was invalid" I then go to "setting" tap on Mail, Contacts Calanders... tap on accounts and all address are correct...............NOW WHAT???

Need to know some more.
What type of account?
Does your account require you to also supply login info for sending (when setting up there was a place to say that).
Also, if POP and is like from your ISP, many ISP's DO NOT allow you to send email from a machine that is NOT on their network (eg: your computer at home works because it is on the network, but if you try to set up the same settings lets say at work, you can check, but you cannot send. They do this to stop spammers from relaying off their SMTP servers. Now for the iPhone, when sending via the cell connection (or WiFi that is not at home) you are not on their network so they don't let you send. This is a limitation your mail provider and not the iPhone.

  • Mail will not send on 3g but will on wifi

    Outgoing mail will not send while going out on the AT&T network(3G) but rather places a copy of the email in the outbox and sends it within seconds after it connects to any wifi network.  AT&T doesn't have a clue about anything to do with the iPhone, I know, sad huh.  The email proxy settings were synced with my iMac that uses the exact same settings with no problem.  I have done a full restore and have the new software installed and have restarted the phone several times.  Any help will be appreciated.

    Who is your email provider?

  • I have a yahoo mail account address - Mail will not work with that?

    I tried to mail an email using my Yahoo mail account address. Mail sent it back to me saying that Yahoo rejected it.
    Do I just keep using mailing from Yahoo instead of Mail to keep things working?
    When I click on an e-mail address Mail does come up as my default mail program. How can I change that back to Yahoo using Safari? I've asked that question of Yahoo, but they just tell me to use Firefox, which I do not want to do. I like Safari and will simply fight the Mail program back if I have to. There must be a way to get it under control though - I hope.
    I do use Mail to back up notes from my iPhone. It does work for that just fine.
    TIA,
    Ken

    "Second Step: Launch Mail/Preferences/General/Default email reader and choose Google Notifier.app from the list. Now the mailto links will also bring up a blank email, ready for you to fill out and send by using your Gmail account. "
    Here is Mail getting in the way again. I appreciate your information, I downloaded Notifier and got to the point of above, needing to go to preferences in Mail. Mail will not let me go to preferences unless I give Mail an e-maill account to service. I do not want Mail to service an account. Mail is a nasty obtrusive program that wants to be in the driver's seat of my computer system. If I give Mail my gmail account set up again, using that italian program that also is a hack to my system, I will need to do that just to access Mail preferences so I can tell Mail that it is okay to use Gmail?
    Something is fishy in Denmark to be sure.
    I'm going to delete Notifier.app until I am able to see what gives with Mail.
    Thanks, I thought that was going to be the answer. Mail has stopped me in my tracks again.
    OOoommmm..... (counting to 10)

    Later post, I think this post has also taken it that I want to use Mail, Read my many statements, over a dozen by now, that I do not want to use Mail. I want to compose my outgoing mail in GMail. I want GMail to be my default mail program. I wan Apple Mail to Die! (at this point, that seems impossible to accomplish.)
    It's simple, but I will repeat and repeat. I simply want to be able to click on a link, like a link in Craigslist to respond to an ad, and have the GMail compose e-mail come up ready to respond to the Craigslist ad.
    Ken
    EVen more frustration now, I tried the notifier icon in the menu bar and selected compose mail and it tried to open up Apple Mail. How can I get rid of Apple Mail and let my system know that I want the GMail account to come up to compose my email in GMail (what I was trying to do with Yahoo until I got nowhere with Yahoo, now I'm trying to see if I can get GMail to work as my default mail program.

  • Mail will not send

    Hi, I've had my iMac some time now but have only just set up the 'mail' option. I have definitely put in all of the correct details for all of my email accounts. I am able to receive email but it just will not send out any emails - from any of my 5 email accounts!
    When I check the mail connection all is green (except for one of the outgoing servers for one particular email account). So why will it not send from the other outgoing server when it is green?! I use an iPhone and an iPad and my mail on those is fine (using exactly the same settings).
    I have updated the software (as recommended by Apple for this particular problem) but it has made no difference. Every time I try to send it says 'Mail will not send with server...'
    It's driving me crazy! Please help! Thanks.

    This may not help, but a few months ago I was trying to send a message to members of my professional organization, but kept getting a similar message. I exchanged correspondence with Tech Help at my server to no avail. I thought the problem might have to do with the quantity of receoients, so I started deleting a few at a time from the list and resending. All of a sudden, it worked!
    I finally narrowed it down to one address that had been preventing the message from going out. After I deleted and exactly retyped the address, I never had another problem. Never understood what had happened.

  • Mail will not send mail, only receive.

    I have spent the majority of today re-installing OS X and all necessary updates, music, data after the death of a hard drive. Luckily everything went perfectly, except for the same problem I had with Mail even before the 1st hard drive died. Mail will not send mail, only receive.
    All efforts time out and give me this message: "The connection to the server mail.earthlink.net on port 25 timed out"
    Mail used to send messages, but stopped suddenly in 2004 and has yet to start again. Any idea guys?! I can't figure it out, under Account settings I have necessary fields filled in: Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) is set to "mail.earthlink.net", Server Port is set to 25, and Authentication drop menu is set to None.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    --DANIEL

    This is NOT a problem with Mail or OS X. This is an incorrect settings problem - garbage in = garbage out and this information is certainly available at Earthlink's website and Earthlink also provides technical support.
    Earthlink has an authenticated SMTP server they changed to long ago.
    SMTP Server: smtpauth.earthlink.net
    Server Port: 587 but 25 should work if you are using Earthlink as your internet service provider for connecting to the internet.
    Use SSL: Off or not selected.
    Authentication: MD5 Challenge-Response
    User Name: Your ENTIRE Earthlink email address.
    Password: The account's password - the same password used to check the incoming mail server for new messages.

  • Mail will not go out

    I have several email accounts, including google and use two servers for outgoing mail, one a cable comlany and the other google. They have worked well for years.I recently upgraded to 10.8.4 and now I cannot send out email. I deleted all accounts, reset them and tried all sorts of other tricks. Diagnositcs shows green dots and says the connections are good. But the mail will not deliver. I am circuvmenting right now by going onlne with google. I reasd some discussion about ports and am wondering if there is a special port number. Or, has Apple screwed up and has yet to come up with a bug fix?

    Step 1
    Take this step only if you have more than one incoming mail account, and only some of them are affected by the problem.
    From the Mail menu bar, select
    Mail ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts
    From the account list on the left, choose one of the accounts that is not giving trouble. Select the Account Information tab if not already selected, and then uncheck the box marked
    Enable this account
    Repeat with each of the other well-behaved accounts. Don't disable the problem accounts.
    Step 2
    From the Mail menu bar, select
    Window ▹ Connection Doctor
    Click the Show Detail button. A drawer opens. Try to send a message and post the text that appears. Anonymize any personal information before posting.
    Step 3
    If you took Step 1, re-enable the disabled accounts.

  • Updated my phone, now e-mail will not send because server does not allow relaying

    Updated iphone 3GS to iOS 5, now my company e-mail will not send "because server does not allow relaying".  I'm just an employee, not an IT type - have no idea what this means and I'm very frustrated. Also infuriated with Apple because THEIR update caused this to happen, yet I have to PAY for their support because I have an older iPhone. Someone please help.

    razmee209, thanks for your reply. After signing up for the community, I saw that I wasn't the only one. However, I think I've solved it by looking over the comments in reply to others with this problem.
    First, I think the iOS5 update may have made the phone default to IMAP setting. I noticed when I deleted my account and re-set it up that there is a large button at the top for either IMAP or POP. It is already defaulted to IMAP, but my account must be POP.  So this is the first thing to check when you're setting up your account.
    Second, I noted some other comments about needing to supply a username and password to the outgoing server even though it says optional. I included those, but got a message that it wasn't recognized (or something like that) and did I want to continue anyway. I told it to continue. After a few seconds, it verified my account, and now everything works.
    Hope this helps others having this problem.

  • My mail will not send emails

    My mail will not send emails.  I can recieve them but it will not send.  What do I do?

    POP or IMAP? Make certain that you have your outgoing server, whether POP or IMAP, set up correctly.

  • HT4519 how do i get my server email to send pictures.  Email works without pictures, but when attaching a picture the mail will not send

    Email works without pictures, but when attaching a picture the mail will not send

    Hi,
    In Mail > Preferences > Accounts to can find out which STMP server you are using for outgoing items.
    This can be one account.
    I do this with a dial Up account I still have access to.
    I can "fetch" mail over DSL and now Fibre.
    However I have to be Logged in via Dial up to actually use their Servers to Send.
    As a Consequence I "send" via one of the other Accounts STMP servers.  (I tend to add a signature that reflects this account change)
    The other thing that might explain what you are seeing is the Full Name Box.
