Outgoing message frozen

I tried sending an email with approximately 300 recipients in the BCC line. It was rejected with "The server “smtp-server.stny.rr.com” did not recognize the following recipients:". It then listed all 300 or so of the recipients. This message page is overlaid on the original outgoing message.
The overlay can't be moved so I can get to the original message and edit the recipient list. The overlaid message continues below the edge of the screen, so I can't get to the bottom of it (scrolling doesn't work on the overlay) where there's typically a set of buttons to edit the message.
You can't drag the message to the trash. Shutting down and restarting does not make it go away. There is no function on any of the Safari menus that works in relation to this problem (ie, delete, etc). Even the little "x" button (delete) in the upper left corner of the rejected message is grayed out and can't be used (but the minimize/maximize buttons do work).
The only thing I can do is put it on the dock. Everything else (other applications, etc) functions fine when I do that, including incoming and outgoing mail. I've previously divided the recipients into 4 groups and sent 4 emails to reach everyone, so that's the only difference in the way I sent this email. Clearly the problem is the number of recipients, since that's the only change.
The issue is entirely not being able to get rid of this message and having to live with it forever on my dock. Any suggestions?

Hello ketcheeup,
Group messaging is one of the most efficient way to communication with multiple people at once. This is SUPER convenient when communicating with co-workers. May I ask have you tried the step that Ann154 provided? Thanks Ann154. If so then what's the results? If you can advise us on the status of the issue then we can help, if more is needed.
Thank you...

IPhone 5 outgoing messages frozen on one thread

Messaging on my iPhone 5 (IOS 8.2; AT&T) is generally working fine but there is a hangup on one joint message thread to my daughters. Message line says "Sending 1 of 3" but it has been frozen for a couple days; nothing will go out. I can't find a way to cancel whatever 3 messages it is referencing as being sent. No incoming messages on that combined thread, either. I can send to them individually but not on the shared thread. This is a new problem and we've been communicating on this tread for a long time. No issues with other threads. Both daughters have iPhones - both 6s, I think. How can I resolve this? Thanks.

Try Reset by Holding both Power and Home Buttons together till Apple logo appears.
If this does not help, seek an appointment at the Genius bar for evaluation and possible replacement.

there are a few things you can try before calling Tech support.
Clear your Cache and Cookies then try it out.
Run Internet explorer with no add-ons then try it out.
Reset Internet Explorer Web Settings back to defaults and then try it out
Try a 2nd Browser like Google Chrome or Firefox (possible browser issue can be identified by testing in a 2nd browser)

Why is my mail app not sending outgoing messages?

When using mail application, my outgoing messages remain in my outbox. If I log into my email through a browser, my outgoing messages will send.
I assumed my new MacBook was setup correctly from the Apple Store.
Thanks for any assistance.

Check your outgoing (SMTP) mail in mail preferences, make sure that it is set to your mail server and not none or something else. After upgrades, these things can get messed up.

Whenever I send an e-mail with my yahoo account which is also my apple ID a small icon (personal) picture is attached to the e-mail. How do I remove this picture from being attached to all of my outgoing messages?

Everytime I send a message from my yahoo account (which is also my appleID account) a small icon picture (which is a pic of my ex-boyfriend) is attached to the e-mail heading. I'm able to notice I want to remove this from happening. The picture is displayed on my iphone when I open up the mail.
Steps I take:
1. I write an e-mail message from my yahoo account to my other .edu account on a desktop computer.
2. I send the e-mail message from my yahoo account to my other .edu account on a desktop computer.
3. When I open up my .edu account on my iPHONE, there is a new message from my yahoo account.
4. Upon opening the e-mail message on my iPHONE, in the title heading it has the title of the email along with a small (upper right) picture on the iPHONE.
Another thing that I tested was the same thing on my iPAD for text messages:
1. I set up my text messages to my yahoo account (which is also my apple ID account)
2. I send a text message to a person and the same small icon picture is shown on the ipad with each message that is sent
3. The person receiving the text message does not get the small icon picture; however, on the ipad it shows this picture (WHICH NEEDS TO BE REMOVED)
I need to determine how this icon picture is associated with both my yahoo and apple ID account. The funny thing is that I don't have this picture on any of my devices (mac, iphone, ipad). It has been completely removed from all of my technology sources. I'm thinking it has to be something to do with the origniation of my apple ID.
PLEASE HELP ME....this picture is hurting my professionalism when I send outgoing messages.
Thanks.

How to view "From" header field in OUTgoing messages in Mail? Frustrating.

In Mail v.4.3 (in OSX 10.6.4), I need to view the "From" field in my outgoing messages as I am composing them. However, there seems to be no setting in Mail which allow this.
I find this very frustrating because in Eudora (which I used to use), the "From" field in outgoing messages is visible by default. But in Mail, not only is it not visible by default, there seems to be no way to make it visible.
In the "Customize..." button to the left of the Subject field in outgoing messages, one has the option to add as default outgoing message fields "cc," "bcc," "Reply-To," and "Subject," but none of those are what I want. It allows one to also view the address of the mail server, but that also is not what I'm looking for. What I want is to see my outgoing +email address+. And nowhere is there an option in the Preferences to turn this on. (At least as far as I could tell.)
In fact, the only way to see the identity in the outgoing "From" field is to go to Preferences, then click on Accounts, and look there; or send oneself a test email. Both of which are a hassle and should be unnecessary.
In case you're curious as to why I want to see my outgoing "From" header field:
I have several different "personas" online, each of which uses a different email address: My work address (with a work-related domain); my family/personal address (with a different email address than my work address); an online avatar I use in various gaming sites (also with its own address, since I don't want to use my personal name/address in the gaming community); and so on. However, I have all incoming emails to all accounts auto-forwarded to the same central email account. Most of the time I'm just replying to business emails, so my outgoing "Full Name" and "Email Address" (in Preferences>Accounts) are generally set to my business name and address; but on occasion when I want to reply to a non-business email and not have the recipient see my business email address, I go in to Preferences>Accounts and change "Full Name" and "Email Address" (i.e. what is displayed to the user) to something different. And when I'm done with that, I change it back to my business address.
However, sometimes I forget if I've changed it back or not, or forget what I've changed it to. In Eudora, All one needed to one was create a new outgoing email and it would display the "From" field so I could instantly see my outgoing identity. But in Mail, there is no "From" field in outgoing emails, so I'm constantly nervous and wondering which outgoing identity I may have changed to and accidentally forgotten to change back from.
(Yes, yes, I know that if a recipient wanted to be snoopy, they could look at the "full headers" of any incoming email and see the name of my email server, which may different from my displayed email address; but we're not talking about spy-stuff here, I'm just trying to not confuse people and keep business separate from personal.)
So: is there any way for me to see the outgoing "From" field in the emails I send? Or am I condemned to constantly (and mostly unnecessarily) checking "Preferences>Accounts" to see what I have enetered there?

Thanks for replying.
What is the "compose window" to which you are both referring? I could find no reference to such a thing in the Mail menus or Help.
Do you mean the "Composing" pane in the Preferences? I don't see what either one of you is referring to there, but I did notice there something that could function as an awkward workaround: If I click on the "Automatically CC myself" box in Preferences>Composing, then when I start a new email, my email address is displayed in the "CC" field -- and luckily, Mail allows me to then delete my email address out of the CC field, so I don't have to spam myself with duplicate copies of all my emails. This way, I can at least briefly see what email address I'm using, before I delete it from the CC field. Pretty awkward and unnecessarily laborious, however -- still not a perfect solution.
Or, by "composing window," are you referring to an outgoing email? As I said in my original comment, I do see what Ernie called "a small box with lines and an arrow at the bottom left of the header box." This is what I had to say about it:
+"In the "Customize..." button to the left of the Subject field in outgoing messages, one has the option to add as default outgoing message fields "cc," "bcc," "Reply-To," and "Subject," but none of those are what I want. It allows one to also view the address of the mail server, but that also is not what I'm looking for. What I want is to see my outgoing email address. And nowhere is there an option in the Preferences to turn this on. (At least as far as I could tell.)"+
In other words, when Ernie says, "click the box beside From," I can't do that -- because there is no such option. That's the whole problem in the first place. If there was a "From" field beside which I could click a box to make it appear, I would have done so! But there is no "From" field in the "Customize" section of the "small box with lines and an arrow at the bottom left of the header box."
I find it completely mystifying that both of you seem to be able to see a "From" field available to be added to the header of outgoing emails, yet no such option is available to me in Mail. What possibly could be causing this? 10.6.4 is freshly installed on my machine, and Mail seems brand new and uncorrupted. And I'm using Mail 4.3, the latest version.
Are you saying that everyone else can see an option to have a "From" field in their outgoing messages, but I uniquely don't? Very very very strange.

How to remove first line of outgoing messages: ?xml version="1.0"........

On outgoing messages, when I look in MONI, I see properly formatted XML message.
The first line of all my outgoing files has this line:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
Is there a way to suppress this?
If so, is there a way to suppress for only certain partners within one interface?
Thanks,
Jeff

Outgoing messages failing in adapter engine

Hi,
I would like to know the cause of the following error which I frequently encounter in my Seeburger AS2 adapter engine for outgoing messages
MIC not verified # MIC values not verified: QRP65LlObLvoGwZmMdIFpuXsvzA=-yqCovOQUkVWawfNVfSrXXaRRt8c=
It appears only in the adapter engine and doesnt reflect as an error in RWB.
We have already checked the certificate being used and found it to be valid.
Would like to know the root cause of this.
Thanks in advance

MIC is the message digest sent by the receiver AS2 system as a part of MDN to acknowledge the status of sent message. This is used by sender for non-repudiation of sent message. This message indicates some problem in the message sent. The point of this verification is the at sender system. This is not exactly XI related problem.
Found a similar problem in Seeburger guides but this is related to authentication failure
Outbound: MIC not verified # authentication-failed, processing continued
Cause:
An incorrect signing certificate is being was used, but the trading partner continued with the
processing, because it doesnu2019t matter, if the message is authenticated, or not.
Solution:
Check the signing certificate configuration.

Prateek

Mail not saving large outgoing messages

i've recently noticed that when sending large outgoing messages (typically 10mb or more), mail sends but does not save the sent message. i'm using IMAP Gmail. everything else (ie, anything smaller) sends and saves fine.
anyone else noticed this/got a fix? i'm using mail 4.1 on OS 10.6.1, but i had trouble with mail in leopard where it wouldn't send large emails at all.

Yes I am having the exact same problem - email just disappears totally whilst being sent - nothing in drafts or sent items - the email has totally disappeared - very very annoying...
I am feeling very angry with Apple and things that should 'just work' that just 'don't work' any more - the whole OS is becoming totally unreliable - I'm seriously considering ditching this junk (after 3yrs of Apple purchasing) and going back to Windows - Apple are the most arrogant and uncommunicative company I have ever known...

Can not get outgoing messages to work despite 3 hrs Apple technician!!!!!!!

I have now worked another 4 hours on this issue.And had help from India as well.
After 3 hours with India technician the issue could still not be solved.I now know that the below settings are correct.I have a case number and tonight spend another 4 hours but no outgoing messages!!!! Except sometimes using one account only but I have 10!!
Maybe I have to give up and accept that the mail is never going to work.I now use a windows computer for my mail. UUE unbelievable unacceptable error from Apple
Result all my accounts read the messages.
The accounts are yahoo/xtra New Zealand
The G mail has an own outgoing server and in connection doctor the light is shown green.
If I can send I do not know yet.
Now for all yahoo xtra accounts I use the same server.
The providers instruction for a NEW account I established is:
-Incoming Mail (POP3) Server pop3.xtra.co.nz
Use SSL,port 995
-Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: send.xtra.co.nz
Enable SSL,port: 465 and enable SMTP server authentication
Print this page for your record.
My conclusion is despite upgrading to Snow Leopard 6.1 where was promised that mail issues had been solved the result is zero and I am sure it is not the providers fault.
I will give here again the link in Google and hope somebody will know what is at hand here.
I was told that some guy in Apple care is supposed to know???
I do not have Apple care.I have spend a lot of time and hope somebody may stand up to get it really sorted out My link found in Google:from which I started.

Too bad for words this issue UUE from Apple!!!! Clogz14

I received a complaint that my last post was not so clear and I have updated this post here.
I have now configured Thunderbird and after help with setting up by my provider Yahoo/ Xtra. Thank you for your telephone help of 3 hours from Philippines today Yahoo/ Xtra. It all works fine now with Thunderbird.
I now receive and can send E-mails from and for all 10 sub accounts.Today I received an Apple survey message to valuate my experiences.The case number that was given and is not solved at all is
136901000 The very good Apple technicians name is SHIVARAM.It is not his fault that the issue could not be solved.A shame the Apple survey indicated there would not be any follow up of the issue.!!! I just had to phone again!!!
It shows the arrogance that has entered the Apple organization.
Imagine how many people are loosing time with this issue in my case about 2 days!!! Just after installation of a product they call Snow Leopard I payed 59 $ for !!! It should actually have been called Slow Leopard ! only one letter different.!!! Just as my computer only one program failing!!!
Apple version 4.0 E-mail Program.See how they are going to fix this!!!!
So New Zealand needs to talk to India-Phillipines-to get his 59$ purchased program working.!
Ridicules 6 hours now yes it is all for free 0800 numbers .Still.!!! In Europe companies let the clients pay!!

Adding company logo to outgoing messages

Is there a way to add a logo to all outgoing messages from an IronPort appliance?

Hello Doug,
graphical footers are currently not supported by AsyncOS, however there is a workaround in the knowledge base ( article ID 1581) describing the use of HTML in footers and also including image tags. It's not possible to stamp logos directly into footers, though.
Hope that helps,
Andreas

Automator "Send Outgoing Messages" Workflow Failed - 1 error

Hello,
In my hunt to be able to send a personalised templated e-mail to multiple recipents using Mac Mail, I came accross the automator feature. I've tinkered around with it but can't seem to generate the final action of sending.
1) New Mail Message (all fields have data as I read in another thread that this might generate errors.)
2) Get Specified Address Book Items
3) Group Mailer
4) Send Outgoing Messages (this is where I get a Workflow failed - 1 error)
Steps 1-3 have green tick marks, Step 4 has the error.
Can anyone point out where I might be going wrong?
I'm using 10.7.2

Anyone?????

Nokia N8 outgoing message freeze

I try to send MMS after making picture. The message is in outgoing message, the sign is "suspended'. I can't cancel or erase it. After restart phone, don't change anything.
What can I do?
Thanks

I wondered if this could be connected to the process of resizing the image (a picture taken at the 9- or 12-megapixel resolutions could be around 1Mb in size even though it is saved in a heavily compressed format. However, I tried taking a 9MP (default setting) picture and attaching it immediately to an MMS and was able to send without problems using an N8 (an image of 950Kb wes resized to less than 200Kb).
Try creating a message this way agian, but don't send - just out of interest check near the top left corner of the screen, it will show you the total message size. Most of the latest Nokia phones are able to send MMS messages of up to 600Kb, but many networks still cap MMS at 300Kb so it is worth checking if your image is larger than that when inserted into the message.
