Outlook Express not sending email

Hi, I've been using OS 9 for a while now on an old Rev. 1 Blue and white Power Mac, and it's running well, and I've got nearly everything I need going except for one last thing.
Outlook is recieving my mail from a pop server and is supposed to be using smtp to send email. I have all my login info loaded into my account on Outlook, but I get the following error when trying to sync outlook with the SMTP server:
"Mail could not be sent to account "Embarq".
The specified server could not be found."
It reports the error as number -3150.
Any clue as to what's up here?
Thanks
Brandon

-3150 error - The specified protocol address was in an incorrect format or contained illegal information.
 Cheers, Tom

Outlook Express - Not Deleting Emails In Mailbox

I still get emails on Outlook Express even after I select "On Mailbox & Handheld." Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Hello,
Sorry the above information (i.e. option 1) is wrong!
You need to set the option to Mailbox & Handheld.

Outlook will not send email

I am having a problem getting my Outlook for Mac to send e-mail thru my me.com account

I don't know if this will help but I had a problem sending mail from Outlook on my Windows 7 PC.
I closed down Outlook.
I went into the iCloud Control Panel and unchecked the Mail, Contacts, Calendars and Tasks.
I applied the change.
I re-checked the box again and applied the change.
I opened up Outlook and was asked to enter my password for the incoming mail server "p05-imap.mail.me.com"
After I had done that I was asked to enter my password for the outgoing mail server "p05-smtp.mail.me.com"
Once into Outlook I could send messages again.
The Server Port Numbers on the advanced tab are 993 for incoming with SSL for encryption type and 587 for outgoing with TLS as the encryption type.
I haven't seen p05- mentioned as a part of the server settings in any posts I've looked at.
As I said, I have no idea if this will work for anyone else but it fixed my problem.

Outlook 2003 will not send emails with itunes running

Has anyone been subject to this issue? While running itunes, I can not send emails. I have to shut itunes down and then the email can be sent. I run XP Pro and have Outlook 2003. Itunes is updated whenever an upgrade is avaialable.

I'm seeing that same problem on my computer. I've tried looking all over for solutions, but so far I haven't found anything. The only workaround I've found is to hit Alt-s to send the message instead of pressing the send button.

Ipad not sending email, forced to reboot for changes to apply

Hi all
I was asked to look at a friends two week old iPad today.
It was set up for them last week.
Initially the person setting it up tried to add a Gmail account but found that it would receive but not send emails (using the native email app).
They then decided to open an outlook.com account and use that instead of the gmail account.
This worked fine for two days but then error messages saying that the mail could not be sent started to pop up. It struck me that the speed with which the error message appeared after clicking send suggested that this was an iOS issue rather than the server rejecting anything.
I tried to check the imap/smtp settings in the "control panel" but they were not available (read:visible) so I deleted the account and entered the settings manually.
It still wouldn't send emails but this time it didn't throw up any error messages, instead it decided to just dump them in the outbox without notifying me that there was an issue.
Suspecting that the issue was with the ipad rather than the outlook servers, I decided to use my own smtp server details. Initially I tried using SSL but when this too failed I switched to the unsecure version on port 25.
It still wouldn't send anything so I eventually rebooted by holding down the power button until the power off slider appeared. On rebooting I discovered that I could now send emails.
TBH I have no idea if using the different SMTP server will be an issue if they ever want to check their outlook.com "sent mail" on line or not but i do have some questions
1. Why was the reboot necessary? I had closed all open, unnecessary apps by double tapping the home button Might it have been the case that manually entering the outlook.com settings would have worked (given that the ideal set up would be to use the SSL outlook servers).
2. Is this an unresolved iOS7 problem. Google searches resulted in many owners complaining that the iOS7 upgrade had rendered their email accounts incapable of sending emails. TBH the advice given ranged from perhaps sensible to plain daft.
3. can anyone using outlook.com as their email provider on iOS7 confirm which smtp server, port, etc they use?
4. Are there better email apps that actually give you detailed feedback?
i don't know when I will next get the chance to get my hands on their ipad again but I would rather that they were using the correct outgoing servers with encryption (rather than my unencrypted smtp server).
Thanks in advance

Hi again Neil.
Your extra info now to me means that it appears to be problem at the client end!
I hope you don't mind me asking a few questions ....
Is she a regular BT Broadband user with a normal BTinternet email address ? Does she use secondary email addresses ?
Do you know if she can happily email other people ? If not - it could be an account problem which may last a few days ....
If you don't wish to provide the complete bounce message you received, could you perhaps email me the detail (emailing me using my shortcuts). Also pehaps you could ask your client to email me via my shortcuts, and see what happens and I'll take a look at replying to see what happens.
The user on shentel.net domain she's been trying to email, did she ever manage to send any emails initially ? It could be the destination user having a problem.
The mods do monitor these forums, but there are a lot of posts to go through of course ......

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.

Outlook 2010 wont send emails with attachments

Hello
I was starting to write the question when we found out what the problem was. So I thought I would share our resolution in here, in case someone fall in the same issue.
One of my user with Outlook 2010 cannot send emails with attachments of some size. +-50 kb files works fine.
But when we try a file of 1mb, the mail goes in the Outbox, Exchange status swith from Connected to Disconnected and the email stay there.
The user is in a remote location, connected through VPN with the network where the Exchange 2013 server is
Here is what I did:
1. Re-create Outlook profile: wont work
2. Re-create Windows profile: wont work
3. Check ip settings: fine
4. Try in OWA: wont work
5. Look at Exchange settings for outgoing email size: 10mb
6. Load my user's Outlook profile on another LAN: works fine
That last point made me thought about a potential problem on the remote user's lan. So I did
7. Check VPN config between the remote site and IT site: fine
After googling the problem, I found that website (http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/396793-outlook-2010-client-suddenly-showing-disconnected-from-2013-exchange-server) that suggest to change the DNS setting on the client. However, the DHCP of my remote
user was the router itself, which is giving a DC as primary DNS, and ISP DNS as secondary. I changed the secondary DNS for another DC in our organization, and guess what? Voila! Problem is gone!
Thinking about it that make not much sense, as the primary DNS is always up the secondary shouldn't be queried. But that's what resolved our problem.
Hope it helps someone!
Martin

When launching and opening tabs from links in outlook express not all tabs appear

Since upgrading to Firefox 21 when I click on links in emails in Outlook Express not all the links open new tabs, but when I attempt to close Firefox it says there are more tabs open than are being displayed. Firefox also becomes sluggish to non-responsive during these "evolutions". If I open Firefox first before clicking links in emails it does not display this behavior.

The DDE fix does not appear to address the same problem I'm having. I receive no error windows or indications of any kind, the tabs just never appear, yet when I close firefox it will ask me if I want to close all "X" tabs ( and X appears to equal the number of tabs I tried to open).

Coldfusion 8 Not sending email

Coldfusion is not sending emails and is showing a java error
in the coldfusion administrator if the "verify mail server" box is
checked when submitting the mail settings.
The mail settings are right (they work on our production
server), and I can send mail from the command line on the machine
so there are no problems with the MTA or with a firewall.
I am running coldfusion 8 on SuSE 10 enterprise server.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I also have a send problem. I have been sending and receiving emails from several accounts on my new iPad2 for several weeks. Last night I accidentally left my computer on and the battery ran down-dead as a doornail. I plugged it in right away this morning. I use my iPad2 frequently from the couch. I wrote 9 emails and they didn't send. I checked everything I knew to check-passwords, account settings, turn wi-fi on an off. I've been reading the tech sheets and Apple Help but I cannot resolve the problem. I took Apple's advice and added the account manually with password and correct settings. It is still not sending. It is a pop3 account. I've reset my router and powered the computer, router, and iPad up and down numerous times. The computer sends and receives email just fine. I turn off Outlook so as to not have two devices trying to access the server at once. I don't think it is an embarqmail (provider) problem if I can send and receive on the computer. Originally I got an error about the same IP being used by another device. I have checked the IP addresses and they are not the same. I got a new computer Windows 7 and after 2 weeks I got everything set up. I have an iCloud account but do not put my email through it. I can't see taking the iPad to an Apple store when the iPad is the only device not working. I can send email from my iPhone 3G. This does not seem to be a computer problem. What am I missing? Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

TS3899 I still can not send email from my ipad but iPhone works on those accounts

I still can not send email from my .mac account or a .comcast.net from my ipad. I how 2 people so far that has brought to my attention. We have exchange accounts setup on the ipads for work. I compare the settings from iPad to iPhone from my view it appears identical. I am looking at an iPad 2 and a Mini.
I turned on and off the ipads and nothing really changed. The emails come into those accounts.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

When you say you can't send...as in they never get the email? Does the email appear to send? Error message? When?
It may be more than one iPad that has a problem....

I can not send email from my iPad . Have been using it for over a year, all of a sudden I can only receive email. I have a wifi connection in my home and have a A T &T cellular data plan?

I can not send email from my iPad . Have been using it for over a year, all of a sudden I can only receive email. I have a wifi connection in my home and have a A T &T cellular data plan?

I have a 1st gen iPhone that I just updated the software to 2.0.2
Now whenever I press the mail icon it goes to the mail app for about 4 seconds, does nothing, no loading of folders, old messages, nothing.
Then it reverts back to the home screen. Tried restarting, haven't tried restoring, thought I'd look here first.
Anyone???

HT1430 Hello, email settings correct, can not send emails from the ipad,

****, I HAVE ENTERED ALL MY EMAIL SETTINGS CORECTLY INTO MY IPAD FROM MY EMAIL ACCOUNT ON MY PC AND I CANNOT SEND EMAILS FROM IPAD , WHAT AM I DOING WRONG CAN YOU HELP PLEASE

it could be one of many reasons, is it giving you a reason why it is not sending emails?
I know you said everything is the same as your PC email settings, but I would double check, also the iPad will tend to default to IMAP, so if you are using POP3 for your email, you may need to change the settings on the mail server. For example Gmail default to POP3 and needs IMAP turning on.
What email account are you using? Who is it with?

Sharepoint Server 2013 not sending Email notification

I have a Sharepoint 2013 farm that is not sending any kind of email notifications. I also have a Sharepoint 2010 farm whit the same Outgoing Email settings and it is sending emails notifications normaly.
The SMTP service (the role) is in the same member servers of the 2013 farm, so it is reachable. The timer service is running well in both member servers of the 2013 farm. We don't have an On-premise Exchange enviroment because we use Office 365 (I cannot
set the sharepoint servers as allowed to relay in Exchange). The 2010 farm and the 2013 farm have the same Outgoing Email settings, I don´t know why the 2013 does not send emails. It is driving me crazy!.
How can I solve this?

This post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or view of Microsoft, its employees, or other MVPs.
Look.
I think this is the correct configuration because it sends emails normaly with SharePoint 2010.
If I configure my own email account in Outbound Security, Sharepoint 2013 sends emails but just when I login to Sharepoint, if other users login it doesn't send emails.
