Problem sending mail from desktop

Hi
I am currently not able to send mail from my desktop. Works fine via web though. The message I get after a period of Mail trying to send message is the following
"The connection to the server 'smtp.mac.com' on port 25 timed out"
If I then run Connection Doctor, the further information I receive is
"Could not connect to this SMTP server. Check your network connection and and that you entered the correct information in the Account preferences".
Any help most welcome.
Thanks

J - Let me describe the issue I had before describing my work-around:
I started getting the message "Could not connect to this SMTP server" only after the upgrade from Tiger to Leopard, and then only when I was trying to send attachments larger than about 50KB. I'm in a rural area, and only have dial-up. I was able to send text messages, and could receive emails with text and attachments, regardless of size.
I believe that it is a Leopard issue in my case. Perhaps not in yours. Certainly you'll want to verify that something hasn't changed in your outgoing SMTP server settings....maybe contact your ISP to verify that they haven't made any changes.
However, if your problem does seem similar to mine, and if you're about to pull your hair out, like I was, you may wish to try what I've done to address this problem:
I have found two work-arounds...both are cumbersome, and I don't believe either is acceptable, but they do work for me. 1) Send mail from your ISP's webmail facility (or gmail, for example) or, 2) I have made a new partition on my disk on which I (re)installed Tiger. (I didn't have the "Could not connect..." issue with Tiger) I can drag attachments or other info into the Tiger partition from my Leopard disk, then restart in the Tiger disk. From Tiger, I can compose and send email from Tiger's Mail app. Good luck! Bill

Has anyone an Intermittent Problem sending mail from Mac OS X (10.6.8)?

I have a Mac mini operating on Mac OS X(10.6.8) Snow Leopard. In the last couple of weeks I have been having intermittent problems sending mail from Mac MAIL, especially if I hit the reply button. It whirls around for ever and then tells me to 'Try Later' or 'Try Again'. When I shut down my computer and open up mail again, I hear the mail whizzing off. I have just tried it now and it went in the time that it has taken me to compose this email. But sometimes the mail doesn't go at all. Could it me because I have too many messages in my inbox and sent boxes (around 1000 in each)? I read somewhere that you should delete Mail in library/pref/com.apple.mail.plst and reinstal it. But I'm frightened to do this in case I can't re-instal it as I don't know how to.

Problem sending mail from iPhone

Hello
I have a problem sending mails from a Horde account in iPhone 5S. I guess the problem is about configuring the outgoing mail server, but I tried several things and nothing seams to work. The message I get is :
"Can't send mail. No password provided for account x
Please go to Mail account settings and enter a password"
Here goes the detailed configuration of the SMTP:
SMTP server: mail.account.pt
User name and Password: xxxxxx
SSL: OFF
Authentication: Password
Server port:587
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for your help!
Best regards,
Pedro

After talking with my e-mail service provider I understood some more configurations, which might help you to help me:
SMTP Settings:
Authentication method: encrypted password
Connection Security: STARTTLS
How can I copy these settings into my iPhone 5S? In Authetication there's only the following options:
Password, MD5 challenge-response, HTTP MD5 Digest and NTLM...
Thank you!
Best regards,

I have several clients here at my marina all using different email providers and they all seem to have problems sending out mail from my secure wireless. They can recieve mail no problem. Now here is where it get weird. I added my gmail account to one of the problem iphones and same thing was happening, when i go to send out an email from my account on their phone it gets stuck trying to send mail. I compaired server setting on my phone to his and everything was that same, even turned off his server from fairpoint(the email he uses) and kept my gmail one and still couldnt send mail from his phone but worked fine on mine.

Problem sending mail from OUTLOOK

Hi !
I use the following code to send mails from outlook:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"cmd.exe","/c", "start","mailto:[email protected]?body=test"});
and it works, but my problem is that if I add any other attribute like cc,subject only the first one it's done, I mean, If I do:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{"cmd.exe","/c", "start","mailto:[email protected]?subject=subject_test&body=test"});
subject will appear properly but body will be empty.
Where is the problem??
Thanks!!

Okay, I was mistaken, I thought about this thread. Might still be helpful to you, especially the JDIC reference:

Problem sending mail from within C#

Sorry, I am posting this question for the second time !!!!
I have constructed a snippet that sends mail from within C#.In My script, there are will be several receivers of my mail. The script will read from a file, mail addresses and send mail to each individual contained in the file. As test I run the script with
two mail addresses in the file,one my own and the second with outlook mail. However, the result is I get the mail but the second receiver never gets it.

Anyone else having a problem sending mail from their AOL account?

Everytime I try and send an email from my Iphone it says my aol password is wrong. anyone else having this problem?

YES, there are actually several posts about this problem today. It seems that most of use are able to receive mail, and I was able to send mail until about 3 this afternoon. AT&T reset my network settings, but that did not help. I called AOL, but since I use their email for free and am not a paying customer, I couldn not get any help. But I thnk it might be an AOL issue. I am able to log into my AOL email on my desktop,so it's definitly a correct user name and password.

Problem sending mail from different location

I cant send mail when connecting via a different server than my own network provider i.e. when connected wirelessly away from home office. Comes up with message:-
Verify that you have addressed this message correctly. Check your SMTP server settings in Mail Preferences and verify any advanced settings with your system administrator.
The server response was: <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: Relay access denied
You can try to send using a different server. All messages will use this server until you quit or change your network settings.
If I change the outgoing smtp setting to the network provider that I am connected to then mail will send.
Can this problem be rectified?
Kind regards

Most, if not all ISPs used for connecting to the internet now block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network (or not provided by the ISP) on Port 25 or what is termed "relay access" per the error message.
Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only that is outside of their network on Port 25 but some block its use regardless.
These restrictions are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.
If the ntlworld SMTP server is not authenticated (even if authenticated there is no guarantee it will work depending on the restrictions imposed by the ISP used for connecting to the internet other than your own), you can try changing the server port from 25 to 587 but doing so is no guarantee either.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for the ntlworld account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below.
Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
If ntlworld has an authenticated SMTP server and it doesn't work on Port 25 when connected to the internet via a different ISP or using Port 587 for the SMTP server doesn't work regardless if the SMTP server that is outside of the ISP's network is authenticated or not, your only other option is using the SMTP server provided by the ISP used for connecting to the internet.
There is no other way to rectify this problem regardless the email client used or platform - OS X or Windows.

Problem sending mail from APEX...

Hi everybody,
I've looking for how to send email from my APEX application; I've been reading the forum and I've done a testing using the APEX_MAIL.send procedure. I don't know exactly how the APEX_MAIL works but it seems that my code should work. Unfortunately, it doesn't work... I should receive emails but I don't receive any of them.
DECLARE
l_body CLOB;
BEGIN
l_body := 'Thank you for your interest in the HTMLDB_MAIL package.'||utl_tcp.crlf||utl_tcp.crlf;
l_body := l_body ||' Sincerely,'||utl_tcp.crlf;
l_body := l_body ||' The HTMLDB Dev Team'||utl_tcp.crlf;
APEX_MAIL.send(
p_to => '[email protected]', -- change to your email address
p_from => '[email protected]', -- change to a real senders email address
p_body => l_body,
p_subj => 'HTMLDB_MAIL Package - Plain Text message');
wwv_flow_mail.push_queue(
P_SMTP_HOSTNAME => 'localhost',
P_SMTP_PORTNO => '25'
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN htp.p('Error');
END;
I execute it and there is no exception; it appears the "Procedure executed" message, but I don't receive the emails.
Maybe I am doing wrong the push_queue process? Maybe the Hostname is wrong? Should I do something else in APEX to send the mails?
Thank you very very much

Hello,
>> I'm not running on a local instance, but connected to a server.
By local instance I meant not on apex.oracle.com. In that case, configuration issues should be considered.
>> I've just run the SQL: Select * from apex_mail_queue
and it has returned no data... This means that there is no emails in the queue, is it?
The system will try to successfully send your e-mail for 10 times. If all these attempts failed, the e-mail will be removed from queue. You should send your e-mail prior to running the SQL query.
>> The code doesn't return any error message.
Error message will only be recorded in the queue log, which can be viewed using the apex_mail_queue view.
>> It seems that I have a configuration problem maybe?
That may be the case. The APEX_MAIL package is built on top of the Oracle supplied UTL_SMTP package, which must be installed and configured on your database. Is this the case with your system? (the error message in the apex_mail_queue will give you a clear indication of that).

Arie.

Problem sending mail from DynPage

Dear Experts,
I am new to Portal development and am facing problem while trying to send mail using SMTP from my DynPage Application.

Hey Gaurav,,
Try copying the mail.jar in
dist/PORTAL-INF/lib
Rebuild
Its prefered if you also copy all jars which you are using in the project to this folder.
2.Try to add javax.mail
when you using the variables in your code.
like ..,msg.setRecipient(<b>javax.mail.</b>Message.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress(to));
I donno its weird do to this after including it in classpath
But many times the PRT doesnt recognise the jar at all.
So always best to spoonfeed it evrytime:-)
It worked this way for me
Thanks,
Swathi

Problem Sending mail from multiple accounts

I have a PowerBook pro and I set up 2 gmail email accounts. When I prepare a new message there is a pull down list for the "from" column where I can select one or the other address to be the "from" address. However when I send the messages they both always are sent from the same address. I am using gmail imapi and I believe I've got all the settings correct. Does anyone know how to solve this?
Please help.
Thanks.
Steve

Are both accounts Gmail?
If so check the outgoing server for each, which should be the same, and that for each address it contains the Correct Return address.
I suspect the Return Address for both accounts is set to the same Gmail address.

Airport extreme - problem sending mail from windows laptop

I have an airport extreme network on my home Powermac G5. I have a work laptop (windows) that I sometimes use at home. With the laptop I can use the internet and receive email, but can't send email. Do I need to change the airport settings to allow the PC laptop (Outlook) to send? I have DSL modem (AT&T/SBC Yahoo DSL).
Outlook is set to port 25 for sending email.
Thanks,
Jim
