Problem sent email when away from home

Task 'Barbara Key - Sending' reported error (0x80042109) : 'Outlook cannot connect to your outgoing (SMTP) e-mail server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).'

Be sure you include your email username and password with your outgoing SMTP server setup. Most ISPs will not allow you to use their SMTP servers unless you are using their mail service, so remote requests are blocked if you don't have the login information.

How to use Mail to sent messages when away from home

How do I have to configure my "Mail" on my PowerBook G-4 (OS 10.4.5) in order to use it in a WIFI enviroment?
At home when connected via Airport to my own Outgoing Mail Server (smtp 8. sympatico.ca) I have absolutely no problems. However, last year I was on a Cruise Ship and tried to use the existing WiFi System. I could receive messages using Mail, but I could not send messages using Mail.
At the moment I'm visiting my son in the Boston area and I'm having the same problem. I was forced to use the Sympatico Web Mail in order to sent E-mail messages. (receiving mail using "Mail", represents no problem)
There has to be a way to configure Mail to originate messages and sent them as well, but I cannot find anything which tells me how to do that.
The version presently installed for Mail is 2.0.7.
Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated!
Best Regards,

Hank,
The problem here is your ISP (looks like its Sympatico) blocking connections to their mail server from computers not connected directly to their network. I wouldn't blame your ISP though b/c as I understand it almost ALL ISPs block these type of connections to cut down on SPAM being sent.
What you need to do is to find the outgoing mail server for the network you are on.
For example, if you look on the "Mail" settings on your Son's computer and note his "Outing Mail Server" (in the "Accounts" pain of "Mail" prefs) settings and then go to your machine and put in that same "Outgoing Mail Server" info then you should be fine.
You can do this on your machine by selecting "Add Server..." from the "Outgoing Mail Server" drop down menu. When the window comes up just type in the same settings your Son uses. If he does not have a machine with mail setup on it then you can call his ISP and they'll tell you.
Remember to switch the "outgoing mail server" back to your home server when you return home. By the way, most places (like hotels) will give you their outgoing mail server info if you ask them, so next time you're on a cruise with wifi you might try asking the IT people.
Best of luck,
Allen

Can't send emails when away from home

I can send emails from my iphone when I'm at home, but not once I have left the house. I get the 'sending' bar at the bottom, but nothing ever happens. Any ideas?

When at home connected to your wireless network?
If so, is the email account provided by your internet service provider at home?
If yes, most internet service providers don't have an authenticated SMTP server with the email account they provide which is the problem.
Most, if not all ISPs block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP unless the SMTP server is authenticated, and AT&T is no different in this regard when connected to the internet via their cellular network when sending email.
AT&T's SMTP server is included as an available SMTP server to select/use for an email account when connected to the internet via their cellular network if an email account does not have an authenticated SMTP server. This should work when connected to AT&T's cellular network but may not work when connected to your wi-fi network at home with your internet service provider being used for your internet connection.
I access two email accounts with the iPhone's Mail client. Both accounts have an authenticated SMTP server and I've never had any problems sending with either account regardless the internet service provider being used for my internet connection at the time.

How do I connect to my email when away from home?

My iPhone will not send emails when away from my home wifi

my iphone will not send emails when away from home wifi any advice

Hey craggee,
Thanks for the question. This is usually do to a limitation by your ISP/email provider:
If you are only able to use your email account while connected to your home network, this may be a limitation put in place by your email service provider. For further support, please contact your email service provider directly.

HT4979 why can I not send email when away from my home wifi? Am able to receive messages OK, and outgoing mailserver is correct?

Why am I unable to send email when away from my home wifi ? I am able to receive mail OK, and have double- checked the outgoing server which is correct. This problem is consistent with my Macbook Pro, iPhone, and iPad2.
Attempts to send messages results in them sitting in the Outbox and never- ending 'sending message' displayed.
I am able to send using my me.com server.
Home service provider is Cogeco.
Any help would be appreciated.

Is there any final answer to why emails will not send when away from home IP? Have san diego road runner. emails send fine from home, but do not send when using another IP.

Is there a final answer to why emails do not send from iphones when away from home IP?

This is a common anti-spam technique for ISPs to prevent mail from being sent from anywhere other than your service location. Ask Road Runner if there are any specific settings you can use to circumvent this.

Using Outlook 2007 I want to receive emails on my iPhone 4 only when Outlook is NOT open on my computer, as when away from home or want to quickly check email when computer is not turned on. Either ALL emails come to my iPhone or none at all.

Using Outlook 2007 I want to receive emails on my iPhone 4 only when Outlook is NOT open on my computer, as when away from home or want to quickly check email when computer is not turned on. Either ALL emails come to my iPhone or none at all. Is the setting I need to change in Outlook or on the iPhone or is it somewhere else? I used to have this setting but transferring Outlook to a new laptop somehow turned it off.

No. You really can't do that. Not easily at any rate. You would have to set them both up to use POP3, but even then there is no way to guarantee that the phone won't poll the server prior to your computer doing so, pulling down the message from the server.

Wifi works at home but not when away from home

My Wifi works at home but not when away from home, what is wrong? I thought with a phone plan I didn't need to have a wifi connection.

You either need WiFi or Cellular (or both). If you have neither, you can't connect to the internet.
Most people use WiFi at home and Cellular while away from home, or connect to public WiFi networks where there are some.

Time Capsule error message when away from home network

I have a Time Capsule on my home network. When I am home, my MacBook backs up to it with Time Machine perfectly. However, when I am at work or away from home, I continually (every hour or so) get an error message stating the following:
The was a problem connecting to the server "OurTimeCapsule.local".
The server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again.
The problem isn't that I don't understand this error. I know perfectly well that my Time Capsule isn't available on my work network, and I don't expect it to be. Prior to installing Lion I never saw this error, and with every update I hope it will be fixed, but I still see it with 10.7.2. Obviously Apple knows that people using Time Capsules to back up their laptops will not always be on the network that contains the Time Capsule - they even made changes in Lion to save backups to a local disk in times when the Time Machine disk isn't available.
What I want to do is supress the error somehow - it is a modal dialog that sits on top of whatever I'm doing and is extremely disruptive, especially when giving a presentation. Anyone know how to stop this error?

As a temporary workaround, of course, you can just turn Time Machine OFF.
There was a similar message, with reference to type "file" in the URL, but this one is differnent.
Have you ever used a 3rd-party utility, or followed any instructions to edit some files, to change Time Machine's default behavior?

Can't send mail when away from home

10.5.2
I can't get my MacBook Pro to send email when I'm away from home but the connection doctor says it is connected to all of the smtp servers in my mail accounts.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Most, if not all ISPs, block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network (or not provided by the ISP being used for your internet connection) on Port 25. Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only that is outside of their network, but some block all available ports that can be used with an SMTP server that is outside of their network.
These restrictions are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.
Earthlink has an authenticated SMTP server, as does a .Mac account, so you should be able to send messages with your Earthlink and .Mac accounts when connected to different ISPs. If not and you are using 25 for the SMTP server port for these SMTP servers, try using 587 for the SMTP server port instead for each.
You can only use the .Mac authenticated SMTP server to send messages with a .Mac account, but it should be possible to use Earthlink's authenticated SMTP server to send messages with any account.
If the ISP you are using for your internet connection is very restrictive in this regard, there isn't much you can do except for contacting the ISP being used for their requirement when using an SMTP server that is outside of their network, or send via webmail access for the account using a browser.
