Outgoing server password

Can anyone tell me how to see my outgoing server password on my email account? I'm trying to set up email on my cellphone and it keeps telling me I have the wrong password. It works on my ipad so I want to see it to make sure I'm putting the right thing on my phone.

You are not meant to see passwords. Usually the Outgoing password is the same as the Incoming.

Outgoing server password not retained

I have configured my iPhone for 2 email accounts: gmail and OptOnline. According to my ISP (OptOnline), I must use their outgoing mail server. OK, no problem.
I configured my outgoing server to be the OptOnline server, along with my username and password and I'm able to send email.
The problem is that my password is not retained. So 10 minutes later, I cannot send email. When I look at the Advanced Mail settings, the Outgoing Server password field is blank. It should contain asterisks like the other password fields.
Any ideas?

Entering and re-entering outgoing server password

i am getting extremely frustrated at being prompted to enter my outgoing server password and my outgoing mail keeps getting hung up.
does anyone know if it is OK (or not OK) to check remember this password in my keychain and/or why is it still prompting me for this? I am having a devil of a time getting mail to go out and for some reason my domain based email shows up as online but keeps prompting for a password and smtp.gmail.com shows up as OFFLINE and /also/ keeps prompting me for an outgoing server password.
i mean, i presume this is the the same as my GMail account password, right?!
Grrrrr.

multiple machines. single point on all of them would be the router or modem, any new hardware in the mix, or a fix for something from your ISP?
Try '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection.

Outgoing Server password authentication trouble

Having trouble sending emails from my iphone.
I have followed the instructions provided by my email service. The only thing I don't seem able to set up correctly is for the Outgoing Mail Server.
When I choose 'password' from the authentication options (as instructed) and then go back a page ('password' is now shown next to 'Authentication' indicating that I have chosen 'password' correctly) and press 'done' .........some sort of verification process occurs and 'account verified' is shown.
However i still cant send emails and when I look in Outgoing Mail Server again 'password' has disappeared from being the selected option next to 'Authentication' (there is nothing selected next to 'Authentication')
I actually done have any idea what any of this means. I am just following some provided setup instructions, the only bit of which I can't nail is this password issue, hence my assumption that this is the cause of my failure to send emails. I guess it might be something completely unrelated.
If it helps the error message I get when emails don't go is 'The sender address -my email address - was rejected by the server'
Thanks in advance

How do I get my outgoing server to work on my Iphone 5

I bought my Iphone 5 from Apple when it was first available. I have had an ATT acount for many years along with an MSN email account. I have had issues with sending email from my IPhone 5 since I have recieved this phone. I have deleted and readded the email application numberous times(sometimes 10 times a day), I have reset my phone a number of times, I have also changed my email password a number of times and readded to both my incoming server and outgoing server passwords. I have spoken to ATT tech support, Apple Tech support and Msn tech support multiple times, they have not been able to help me. I sometimes have gotten it to work for a few minutes to a couple of hours but as soon as I try to send an email from my phone again it will no longer send an email from my phone. I use my phone for work and this is very annoying as I have to use my email for work.I need help! I have had Iphones since the first Iphone and Mac computers for over 10 years but I am now over it, at this point I would not recommend Iphones. I am now at the point of buying a phone that I can use and it will not be an Apple Iphone.

No, you simply have not. It is not possible to delete the email application on the iPhone.
Let's assume that the email accounts were deleted and re-added, if this is done properly, the email accounts simply work.
So delete whatever account is on the phone, add them back correctly and it will simply work.
Follow the instructions provided by the email provider to add the account to the device.

I have an iMac, and have a Verizon DSL account. Recently, my Mac Mail keeps requesting the passwords on my account every few minutes, and will not allow me to send messages using Mac Mail. I cannot edit the outgoing server; how can I send emails?

I have an iMac, and have a Verizon DSL account (3 email addresses). Recently, my Mac Mail keeps requesting the passwords on my accounts every few minutes, and will not allow me to send messages using Mac Mail (the message says that the outgoing server was rejected. I cannot edit the outgoing server, and the keychain will not save my passwords (the ports are valid). How can I change the outgoing server to send emails, and how can I avoid having Mail request my passwords every 2 minutes? Verizon, as usual, will not provide support to iMacs.

Is there an email saved in your drafts or outbox folder? I suspect that Mail is continually trying to send it, and each time Google is rejecting the email message.
You can open the message and then delete it from your Outbox folder. Then try removing all @gmail email addresses from it and seeing whether you can send to the other folks. I suspect that will work.
With email, if an SMTP server *can* verify email addresses, sometimes it will and it will refuse to send messages. If a message has to be relayed across servers, no verification is done, and you'll get a bounce if an email address is bad.

How do i put in password for outgoing server on email account

From yesterday afternoon I cannot get emails, or send them, on ipad, ipod or PC using Mozilla. On Ipad and ipod it tells me my password is wrong. I have tried re-entering password but cannot remember how to put password in for the outgoing server. Can anyone help please?

Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Your Email Account > Outgoing Mail Server > Outgoing Mail Server you want to edit > User Name & Password
Be sure to tap on Save or Done When finished.

How can I configure an outgoing server that has a different password than the rest of my email account?

I have a work email account where the password for my incoming server is different than the password for my outgoing server. I cannot find how to change this in the outgoing server settings on thunderbird. Any help would be very appreciated!

Try to add another SMTP server using correct password then tell the mail account to use that smtp server.
* Tools > Account settings > Outgoing Server (SMTP)
* click on 'Add'
* enter a Description so you can easily tell which server this is.
* enter server details.
* userbame = full email address
* password = correct smtp password.
* click on OK
Then tell your mail account to use that smtp server.
* select the mail account name in left column
* bottom right section 'Outgoing server (SMTP)
* click on drop down and select the smtp server you just added.
* click on OK to save changes to Account Settings.
Note: Account Settings can be located via various methods:
Menu Bar
* Tools > Account settings
Mail Toolbar:
* menu icon > Options > Account Settings
FolderPane:
* right click on mail account and select 'Settings'

Passwords Won't Save. Outgoing Server Changed to GMail?

None of my three POP mail accounts work now. The password text box field won't save any passwords and I see the word for GMail something (outgoing server?) appearing here and there although I never intended or directly did anything that would put GMail as one of my Mail Accounts.
Note: I saw an older post, 4 years old, about this but thought I'd post again since it was Archived and it's "solution," rather drastic (i.e. delete Mail preferences) and even after I did that the problem continued.
I was able to use Time Machine to get my Mail preferences back and did have clear copy of Email Settings...but it seems now I'm back to Ground Zero: what's my username, password, Authentication, etc. and the old settings I have are not working.
I'm wondering if this is linked to recently trying a Safari Extension for Google Toolbar (now uninstalled)?
Whatever...I'd like my Mail back and for it to remember Passwords and have the correct outgoing server.

Two weeks later (after post, above)
I Solved the Problem - I reinstalled Mac OSX 10.6.6 (It was rather painless)
My Mail is working again. Safari now also again remembers passwords.
Also, my Aperture's Mail export also works. (Mail is no longer grayed out).

How can I avoid re-configuring my outgoing server when travelling?

I have always "reconfigured" my 'outgoing server' -- the smtp setting under MAIL preferences -- when travelling outside my ISP's service area. (For 12 years with Eudora, and now 4 years with MAIL). But often at hotels, or in airports, it's not possible to get the info, that is, the smtp designator for the ISP serving the hotel or airport. When unable to get that info, I have to revert to using my home ISP's "webmail" which is clunky, limited, slow, inflexible, and doesn't integrate well with my Apple MAIL later. I hate using it.
When I AM able to get the local smtp designator info when on the road, it nearly always does the trick and I am able to do all my email work as I would back at my home office.
However, recently, I stayed with a friend on the west coast, (let's call him Brian) who is something of a Mac expert, but he was unable to confidently give me the smtp designators for his local ISP-- apparently because he never has to change his smtp configuration when on the road! Like me, he uses two servers, that is, he is connected at his home via the phone company's DSL service using a high speed modem, but he likes to retain the email address he had originally got from an earlier ISP he used, back when he was on dial-up. So he pays that ISP a monthly $5.00 to allow him to continue to use the email address he has had since being their customer way back when. So we called both of Brian's ISP's and got their smtp designators. However, neither of these, when plugged into my MAIL preferences, would allow me to "send" using Apple MAIL and I was again obliged to use my clunky webmail.
Now, it seems to me he is being "relayed" (is that the right term?) by the phone company sending outgoing mail over to the older ISP, and the older ISP relays his mail over to the phone company's server to give him his incoming mail. When I am visiting him, this may be to confusing for the smtp configuration in my MAIL.
I would think not, though, because I have a similar setup: I connect to a cable company modem from my home on the east coast, but my address is the one I got from our local phone company before high-speed became available to us via the cable TV service. When we switched from the phone company's dial-up to the cable company's high- speed, we kept the original email address --which was specific to the phone company-- and we pay $5.00 per month for the privilege. Seems very similar to Brian's setup.
However, at Brian's, changing the smtp designator doesn't work to allow me to send emails from Apple's MAIL program.
Brian tells me he doesn't have to do this smtp change when he travels, with his Apple MAIL. He doesn't know why I do it, nor why I should have to. I suspect, that unknown to him, his ISP has some kind of setup whereby his smtp designation is a sort of "universal" outgoing server designation, and his outgoing emails are accepted no matter which ISP he is using when away from home. And I think my MAIL configuration must be incompatible with that. This is just my suspicion.
So my questions are:
1. why doesn't Brian have to re-configure his smtp outgoing server when he travels? and...
2. how can I get that kind of universal "email send-ability" when I travel, and not have to be challenged with having to re-do my outgoing server when travelling, using Apple's MAIL?
Any insights will be most gratefully received!!!!
PS I'm using Snow Leopard on MacBook 10.6.8; I think Brian is using Leopard on a 15-in Powerbook.

Many email providers allow you to send from outside their network if you set up authentication to their servers in your outgoing mail server setup. You may wish to confirm this with your email provider, but you can just try this:
1) Go to the Accounts preference in Mail
2) Select your email account
3) On the Account Information tab, locate the "Outgoing Mail Server" section and pull the menu down to "Edit SMTP Server list"
4) Select the appropriate outgoing server and go to the Advanced tab
5) In the Authentication pulldown, select "Password" and enter in your email account ID and password
6) Click all the applicable "OK" buttons to close it all up and save the information.
That may work with your email provider, or they may have additional settings needed such as "Use Security Sockets Layer (SSL)". Your provider should be able to tell you what specific settings you need if the basic user name and password don't work.

TS3899 I can't SEND email from Telus account in Alberta, Canada? Does anyone know how to set up the Outgoing server? Help! And thanks!

Can't SEND email from Telus account in Alberta, Canada, unless I go to web mail. Does anyone know how to set up the Outgoing server? Incoming is fine. Outgoing used to work. We changed it when we went to another location, and can't get it back. Telus support can't fix it. Neither smtp.telus.net NOR mail.telus.net works for Outgoing server to send mail. Please help!

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

How do I specify the gmail outgoing server if I have multiple gmail accounts in my mail? I have 2 business accounts and when I send mail from one account, it is sent from the other account and the sending email is not from the correct account.

I love my apple email and do not want to use google mail on safari. However, I have 2 gmail accounts set up on apple mail, but when I send mail from one of my gmail accounts (I choose the specific gmail account in the drop down window), it actually goes out as if it is from the other gmail account. I can't have that happen because one is my job, the other is a personal business account and unfortunately, the mail from both gmail accounts want to send through the personal business account. How do I make it send from a specific gmail account? I even tried deleting the accounts and setting them up again hoping I set it up wrong in the first place, but to no avail, it is still doing the same thing except this time I set the job account up first and then the personal business account and now everything goes from the job account! The only good thing is that the incoming messages work properly and they go into the correct inbox. Somebody please fix my outbox!

In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account. The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

Dealing with two email accounts that use the same SMTP (outgoing) server

Folks:
re:   mail.app 5.2 (MacOS 10.7.4) with respect to POP accounts only
I've read this thread multiple times, spent many hours experimenting, and my web searches haven't come up with any more useful help.
How do you persuade mail.app to accept settings for two similar, but distinct email accounts that use the same SMTP (outgoing) server?   Say, the accounts are "blue.example.com" and "[email protected]". These have different user names and passwords.   The SMTP server is "smtp.example.com".
I think this is the appearance of success: the SMTP Server List (as seen in edit-the SMTP-Server-List mode) shows:
Server Name                   In Use By Account
    smtp.example.com      [email protected], [email protected]
(Description column omitted for brevity. And of course, mail.app doesn't show the little envelope icons.)
But I cannot reliably achieve this result.   When I select the SMTP server from the list for the second account --as suggested in the above-referenced thread--- I see the credentials (user name and password) for the first. Should I overwrite them? No, I don't think so -- I think that will break the first account.   I feel mail.app should present me with empty credentials boxes instead. Maybe this happens -- sometimes. But I can't see how to make it happen. Am I simply overlooking something?
A slightly different way of asking about this issue:   Suppose I manage to do a proper setup for the two accounts and they work. Then I change the password for "[email protected]" on the server. What is a reliable way of reaching the SMTP credentials for that account to make the edit? Same question for "[email protected]"?    Even when I successfully attach two accounts to one SMTP server, I seem only able to reach the first listed one to make changes. (In this case, "blue.example.com").
It is possible I'm missing something incredibly obvious...    I know the credentials for each account are distinct, but maybe mail.app copies them from the POP (incoming) settings.   Nah, that can't be, can it?   Or what?
Maybe I'm seeing bizarre things due to scrambled mail.app preferences. I've seen it before on other apps: delete the current preference file, get an auto-generated fresh one, and sanity returns. But with mail.app, with the prospect of losing years of emails --yeah, I've done it-- I'm extremely reluctant to mess around.
Suggestions, please.
TIA
Message was edited by: Hen3ry to clean up the table a little and add a parenthetical explanation.

OK, I'm convinced.   The mail.app UI is BROKEN -- in my primary user account. Such that it cannot reliably select an outgoing server for editing.
I created a new user account and installed some relevant example accounts in mail.app in that account. No problem. Well, a bit obscure, but still fully logical and reliable selection of individual SMTP accounts for editing.
For the sake of clarity, I think it is best to mark this "answered" and repost, focusing on the symptoms and asking how one might go about repairing the problem. So I'll do that.

Gmail outgoing server issues with Apple Mail

Hi,
I'm currently running OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion, and trying to set up my gmail account in Apple Mail. I can recieve mail just fine, but am not able to send mail. for the outgoing server i typed "smtp.gmail.com." When i look at the Mail Connection Doctor it says that the imap incoming was able to login in and connect, as well as the smtp is succeeding with its connection to the server. However I keep getting the message that says "cannot send message using the server smtp.gmail.com"
With the connection doctor window still up, upon trying to send my letter again, an error comes up...even though the connections are still good. The error reads:

If anybody knows what the problem is or how to fix it, I'd be greatly appreciative. In addition, I do have this account being fed to my phone, to which it can send/receive mail just fine.
Thanks

By default Mail should enter all the correct setting for Gmail.
It's asking for authentication.
Select to Edit SMTP settings.
Select your Gmail account from the list.
Click on Advanced.
√ Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
Gmail likes port 465 but Apple default to all ports.
Make sure your password is entered.
Use the Connection doctor to test your settings. You should see green lights to show your receiving and sending settings are correct. Click on Show Details if you see a red light.

I am trying to set up my outlook 2007 account on i pad and the process sticks on verifying. It would appear to be a problem with outgoing server and I have changed the port number but with no success.

I have just purchased an i pad 2 and am having trouble with the e-mail set up. Set up with wi-fi, i-cloud etc has worked fine but the i pad is recognising my outlook 2007 account details but is not verifying it. The trouble appears to be with the outgoing server and I have tried changing the port number, but to no avail! Also reset the account settings for holding messages on the server...help! As you can tell I'm not very techy and I'm desperate to get the bloody thing working as I'm going away on Tuesday! Any suggestions?

I had a similar issue and it was password case sensitive issue
