Problems all of a sudden with sending files through MAC mail?

My .Mac email has acted up over the past week. I used to send documents smaller than 300k every day to whoever with no problems. Now, I'm lucky if they even go. A progress bar will tell me 8% done... 15% done... 21% done and then most of the time I'll get the message 'Could not be delivered... Try Again or Save for Later?'. Every now and then I'll get lucky and one will send, but it's become rare. Even when it does go it takes FOREVER. 5 minutes or more. They used to take 30 seconds... if that. This is a problem on three different G5's with Mail version 1.3.11 (v622/623). I use a high-speed cable connection to the internet, so it's plug and play for me basically. I even created an account with Comcast mail just to test the documents there and they shoot through with no problems (but that defeats the purpose of using my business email address on .MAC).
Any suggestions?

Are you saving Sent messages on the server with your .Mac account on all computers?
No.
Are you using Port 25 to send messages with the .Mac SMTP server in Mail on all Macs?
Yes.
If so, try changing the Server Port from 25 to 587. Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for the account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below. At the Server Port:, enter 587 in place of 25 in the space provided and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
Tried that with the same result. I'm stumped. Could there be something wrong with my router you think? Thanks for the help!

  • Having issues sending mail through mac mail on my imac .Have 4 accounts

    I am having issues sending emails through mac mail. Have 4 accounts and they are all having same issues
    Can receive mail ok
    have tired rebuilding the mail box but no improvment.
    i need to shut down system and restart to be able to send mail.

    I tried something similar by adding a new mail account doing the apple id etc but it worked in that it would look for mail but no mail would come even though mail still goes to my phone I was loath to delete my original account just in case the new one did not work as well. So I guess I am a little stuck now.. I hope you can help me to sort it out.
    Thanks

    There is no cache where the emails would be stored on the iPad, but you could try quitting the mail app and then launch it again and see if the emails return.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Tap the home button. Then try mail again.

    All of a sudden can't receive email on Mail client.  Sessions with service provider (att/yahoo) and Apple have yielded no results!  Recently upgraded to Lion, but have received email since.  Anyone having the same problem.  Apple says service provider problem, service provider say it's the mail client.  Anyone had this problem???

    No.  My frustration with the problem just led me to begin the process convert all my email to a gmail client.  However, after some time all my mail with att/yahoo has been coming through as before.  Go figure.  Still will convert to gmail.

  • Is there any way to send Attachements with Sender file adapter

    Hi,
      I am Using File to Proxy communication model. Is there any way I can use file attachments with Sender file adapter with communication protocol "FTP". Please on suggest this.

    Hi,
    I think there is no Option with FTP Protocol to send the files as Attachments.
    Try this

  • Issue with Sender File FCC

    Hi Experts,
    I have an issue with Sender File FCC Adapter. The file being picked is of type TXT and it is tab seperated. The first line contains the field names and from next line onwards we have values for those fields.
    The field names and field values are tab seperated. Even inserting a single letter in some field value manually disrupts the whole setup & alignment of the TXT file and the Sender File CC is unable to pick up the file from the shared folder. If the first file is errorenous and after that a correct TXT file is posted, it fails to pick up the correct file as it is trying to pick the errorenous file first.
    The Error thrown is :
    "Conversion of file content to XML failed at position 0: java.lang.Exception: ERROR converting document line no. 2 according to structure 'ABCD':java.lang.Exception: ERROR in configuration / structure 'ABCD.': More elements in file csv structure than field names specified!"
    I have two questions:
    1. Is there a way to handle such a scenario? For e.g., the errornous TXT file gets picked but throws error in PI.
    2. Is there an alternative that the sender FCC channel picks up the correct files and filter out the errorneous ones ? ?
    Thanks,
    Arkesh

    Hi Arkesh,
    I think you are passing more number of fields than expected. Please check paramters defined and send the data accordingly.
    In the processing parameters tab of sender file adapter, you have an option called Archive faulty source files, below to that you would have option to enter the " Directory for Archiving files with Errors".
    I hope this helps you....
    Thanks,

    Can anyone help me......... All of a sudden my "send" in Mail is greyed out, I can receive mail but cannot reply or send a new mail message.

    Austin,
    Connection doctor says all accounts are connected.
    I have two email accounts setup and my business one appears to be ok (can reply and send ok).
    The main account has the "send" button greyed out.
    And now my F4 button does not open the set apps e.g. calender/calculator etc instead it opens "manage widgets"
    This all seems to have started since the system updated OSX to 10.6.8

  • Sending mail with attachment fails on MAC Mail and WRP400.

    Sending mail with attachment fails on MAC Mail and WRP400.
    We have hundreds of WRP400 connected with Mac (Machintosh) computers. No special configurations are applied (no virtual server or DMZ). Web navigation, P2P programs and sending mail without attachment work right.
    The problem is the impossibility to send mails with medium or big size files attachment from MAC Mail.
    If we use Windows PCs or a different linksys routers (eg. WRT54G) the problem not happens.
    We have upgraded WRP400 firmware version from 1.00.06 to 2.00.05 but the result is the same. Sending mail with attachment using Mac fails.
    We tried to configure WRP400 with DMZ to a particular MAC. We tried to configure Virtual server on tcp 25 port of a MAC. The result is always the same.
    This is a WRP400 bug? Windows PCs work right. MAC and MAC mail works right with other linksys router.
    We need help. Thanks.

    The problem was fixed since beta firmware 2.00.11.
    I think that this issue was caused from a bug that decrease upload bitrate of WRP400 after some days of activity.
    See more details on Cisco forum under title "WRP400 stops responding after browsing certain websites".
    Thanks.
