Problem with outgoing mail server since getting .mac account

I'm hoping someone here might be able to help me out.
I've been using Mail for a few years now with several mail accounts. (Yahoo!, gmail, and my own domain mail). I have always been able to choose which account to send my outgoing mail FROM. That is, until I purchased a .mac account.
Since signing up for .mac all my settings are still there for my other accounts, but I have not been able to send even ONE email from any account except the .mac account.
I have tried setting up the outgoing mail servers and resetting them, but nothing works. Anyone have any ideas why this might be happening?
I'm starting to consider using Yahoo! mail online for all my mail, but I would prefer to be able to click mailto links and sent right from Mail.
Thanks.

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
Where and how are you connected to the internet with the laptop, vs the desk top -- same venue -- wireless, etc?
Is the account you have set up, the same primary account with Charter that you use on the Desktop?
On the desktop Mac, in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information, when listed as the Outgoing Server, does smtp.charter.net have any Username appended to the name?
Not sure if it could be case sensitive, but have you tried lower case letters for smtp?
More info, please.

Problem with outgoing mail server

Hello,
I use Mac Mail on my Mac Book Pro with my yahoo.fr email address.
For 3 days, the outgoing mail server is offline, and I have no idea why. (The incoming mails: no problem).
I checked the name of the server smtp.mail.yahoo.fr, changed my password, but it remains offline.
Has anyone a solution...? Thx a lot for your help!!

My imac is the same. However if I access my mail the old fashioned way.......go to safari...yahoo...mail...then I get in and all is ok, so I don't think Yahoo are the problem here. Loads of Apple users seem to have this problem, but no one seems to be able to sort it out, maybe when everyone goes back to a cheaper pc Apple will listen.

E61 Problem with Outgoing Mail Server "Unable to s...

Hi all,
I have the following Problem.I have bought from the same ISP two different domain's and mail accounts.One with .com and the other with .info extension.
If I try to send and receive e-mail's with my ".com" account it works fine,no problem occurs.But if I try to send and receive with my .info account I am able to receive e-mail's but I cannot send."Unable to send message":[email protected] error message occurs.
A very interesting topic is if I send an e-mail from my [email protected] e-mail address to my [email protected] address I am able to send.
If I try to send to another e-mail address for example [email protected] extension the following error message occurs:Unable to send message:[email protected]
I asked to my ISP but I did not get an answer or a tip.
Is there any known issues ?
All help would be appreciated
Best regards,

I am really wondering if k-9 mail will work with these issues we are having with outgoing server for roadrunner not working?
Can anyone try to see if this would work to that has roadrunner and the iphone 4 vzw ?
On going issue we have tried everything even called roadrunner and no work around.
K-9 mail is an application that we can get on droids and I googled it to see if it is a possible app. to get on the iphone 4 and it says it is available.
This would be an awesome resolution to this mystery
thanks

Why do I get an "unable to connect - There may be a problem with the mail server or network." message from iCloud. I have verified the settings. I can access my iCloud account online but can't send or receive e-mail via the mail account.

Text limits to the "Question" link prevents a full explanation:
This is a long-time problem. I have tried to resolve it with Apple but their "Customer Support" is merely a name.
I can go online and access my e-mail but when I try to send or receive e-mail via iCloud through my internet server (Google fiber now but the same situation existed with my prior service), I receive "There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for 'Apple Email' and try again.
"The server returned the error: The server 'p0-imap.mail.me.com' refused to allow a connection on port 143."
Well, I have verified the setting and tried again and again and …
Well, you get the idea …

Maybe you should test these things before calling people out, because these settings do function perfectly well.
iCloud is not supported on Snow Leopard or lower, why bother to mention it?
The OP has an iCloud account, and that can not be opened without Lion or Mountain Lion (on a Mac), IOS5 or 6 (on an iPhone/iPad)
The document I linked to is Apples documentation for iCloud on current devices,I don't care whether you believe that you know better than they do, but it will affect the people who follow your advice as it won't work

I never said that there was, perhaps you imagined it.

HT4864 I am getting a triangle with an exclamation point next to my inbox...it says: There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account "MobileMe" or try again. The server returned the error: Mail was unable to log in

I can send but cannot recieve email
This is the messege I am gewtting:
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “MobileMe” or try again.
The server returned the error: Mail was unable to log in to the IMAP server “p02-imap.mail.me.com” using “Password” authentication. Verify that your account settings are correct.
The server returned the error: Service temporarily unavailable

Also if I go to system preferences accounts and re-enter the password it fixes the glitch sometimes.

Has there been any problems with the mail server?

Has there been any problems with the mail server? I keep getting a notice of server failure.

Unfortunately the error message does not identify the specific server, I (as many folks do) have several, Mac, yahoo, google ect.

HT1277 how do I find my outgoing mail server info for gmail account set up?

how do I find my outgoing mail server info for gmail account setup?

Most current Mac systems have a preloaded set of information and settings for the common email providers. Try just choosing gmail and enter your userid and password at the prompts and see if the preload configures correctly for you.

OS X Mavericks Mail losing contact with outgoing mail server after waking from sleep.

I upgraded my MAcBook Air to OS X Mavericks two days ago. Since then I have had intermittent problems connecting to my outgoing mail server. I get the "Unable to Receive Mail" error message. When I click "Take All Accounts Online," I get an additonal error message stating that connection to the host on the specifided port failed. I am using a different outgoing server for mail and I can continue to send emails.
Putting the computer to sleep seems to trigger the problem. Sometimes restaring the computer resloves the problem, sometimes it does not. Any help would be greatly appriciated as this problems his disrupted my workflow significantly.

Fixed. In case anyone has the same issue, I went to Internet Accounts, unclicked mail, and then re-clicked it. It worked. Disabling it in the mail configuration did not work, but it did in Internet Accounts.

Mail trouble with outgoing mail server

For weeks now (relatively recent), MAC mail will not send consistantly. When I choose my outgoing mail server in the preferences panel and check "use only this server", Mail often will not send my message. If I leave that outgoing server as "none", my first outgoing message of the day will prompt me to choose one, and then subsequent messages are sent without asking. Inconvenient at the least - something's not right.
Any help?

Thanks for response.
I have deleted ALL accounts (to start fresh) but the unused outgoing servers 'refuse' to leave
I want to delete them to keep things tidy, also I have issues with using alternate outgoing server (next issue), so trying to start from the beginning again, before attempting to address next issue.

Trouble with outgoing mail server

When I try to send gmail I get an error message 'your acc does not have a preferred outgoing mail server'? I've had this before but can't remember what to do.Thanks.

Who is your ISP? Normally they provide you the information you need when you sign up with one, i.e. user name and password, email address, smtp server address, pop and imap server addresses, authentification requirements, etc.
If you haven't got that information to hand it's normally available with a quick Google search.
I'm with Orange and just searched 'Orange smtp server settings' - this is what I got:

Should outgoing mail server default to .mac?

I cannot find setting to have .mac as default mail server.
Powerbook G4 512ram 1.67ghtz Mac OS X (10.4.3)

The default sending account for a new message and the outgoing mail server used with an account are different things.
Tiger Mail includes a default account selection for send new mail from.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Composing and under Addressing, you can select a default account for "Send new mail from".

Outgoing mail server works for one account only

This may be a coincidence but I just updated to 10.5.2 today and now my outgoing mail on one of my accounts will not send. I shared a SMTP with another one of my accounts thru SBC. I can send when using my SBC account email as sent but cannot use it on my non SBC account now. Any ideas? I tried switching to the 2nd account it should be set to but still cannot send.
I even removed and started over with the email account but still cannot send.

Hi Chris,
I am having the exact same problem. Were you ever able to solve yours?

Problem with outgoing mail

Hi. I have had a problem sending emails from my iPhone4 since I got it. Incoming mail comes in immediately, but outgoing mail always takes around 8 minutes to be sent. Even simple messages with few kb. Now even worse since I installed OS 6. No emails go out! I had it checked at my phone company and ISP. To no avail. pop and smtp addresses correct. I am at a loss. Is there anyone who can help me please? thanks.

Hi again. Just back from ISP and phone company too. The incoming was set to the ISP configuration and the outgoing by the phone company. Works on hotmail, but am having trouble with my normal everyday email account from a local ISP. although smtp is correctly set and the others are set to off, iphone still says it is not finding the smtp.live.net, which is actually the hotmail one [also off]. the main server is set to the one i want it to find, but it keeps going to the smtp.live one, which is obviously off. perplexed!!! can it be a software problem?
thanks for your time and all your help1

Everything is going fine with the POP3 mail server the application is able to recieve mails, and parse them.
But I have problem with the outgoing mails, The application is successfuly sending mails through the SMTP mail server to addresses inside my organization, but failing the relay them to external addresses.
Example: The application is successfuly sending mails to [email protected], but failing sendimg mails to [email protected]
PS: the Address I configured the application to send emails from, can send mails to external users.
I'm using Microsoft Exchange Server.

Yeah man, I know. But the thing is am not familiar
with the Microsoft Exchange Server configuration. And
I guess my problem is a configureation problem.Then maybe a Java forum isn't the best place to be looking for help, innit? :-)
Any
expertise with Exchange Server ?Somewhere between "zero" and "none whatsoever."
