Problems sending/eceiving mail

The last month or so I've been having problems sending/receiving mail thru the Apple mail app. the error message is something like, error sending mail, try with another client? Comcast is my mail server, but I also have my Google account accessible thru mail, so I use that to send. I can definitely work around this, but am wondering what I might do to fix it?

I have the identical issue with comcast and mail (...) it's really not their issue - I'm sure it's the mail app
Really? What makes you so sure? I've had no problems connecting to any mail servers (within allowed use limits imposed by the server, like not sending from outside their network) using Mail, and I've used it over the years with Earthlink, Adelphia, RoadRunner, GMail, pair.com and Mac.com (those are the ones I remember). If multiple people are having problems with Comcast+Mail, chances are better that Comcast is doing something a little on the edge of dodgy than that Mail is doing something wrong that only shows up with Comcast servers.

Is anyone else having a problem sending a mail message with PDF attached?

Is anyone else having a problem sending a mail message with PDF attached? I receive the following message:
Sending the message content to the server failed.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent.
Is there a fix for this?

Anyone? I was hoping my problem would just 'fix itself'... but I still have some clients telling me they're not receiving any email from me. I've since deleted that account on my computers and re-added it. But still having the same issue.

Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

TS3899 My iphone has had problems sending e-mail via my 1&1 e-mail account

My iphone has had problems sending e-mail via my 1&1 e-mail account for the last two days. I get a 'recipient rejected by the server' message. I have not changed any settings. If I change the from address to i-cloud the e-mails go. Advice please.

i think you need to contact your email provider - that sounds like an issue on their end and nothing to do with your phone.

Problems sending e-mail

Every once in a while, Mail does this:
It will send and receive e-mails with no problem, but then it decides to have problems sending and pops up this error box stating: "can't be delievered and will remin in your outbox until it can be delievered. the server smtpauth.earthlink.net can't be contacted on port 25".
Yesterday I had two emails in waiting to be sent out; Mail sent one with no problem, but the second, that error message popped up and it couldn't send. What in the world??
I have checked everything I know, read articles on apple and have done what I read...nothing helps fix this very annoying problem.
Mail just came with a new error message a second ago for me: instead of port 25 not working; it said port 0 timed out.
Someone help me to understand this and to fix it. thanks!

I use the following settings for Earthlink's authenticated SMTP server:
Outgoing Mail Server: smtpauth.earthlink.net
Server Port: 587
Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): Off or not selected.
Authentication: MD5 Challenge-Response
User Name: My entire earthlink email address.
Password: The account's password - the same password used to check the incoming mail server for new messages.
In addition, go to System Preferences > Network.
At Show:, select Network Port Configurations.
Disable any network port configurations that you don't need or regularly use and select/drag your active network port configuration to the top of the list if not already there.
Do you have any SMTP servers available that are not being actively used by any accounts? If so, delete any such SMTP servers.

Problems sending e-mail to SMTP

I have been having problems using mail from a secondary account that I set up for my son's macbook. I have no problems sending / receiving e-mail from the main (ADMIN) account. However, when I try to use the same settings in my son's account, I can only receive e-mails. Outgoing e-mail just sits in the outbox and never gets sent. The inbound e-mail server is POP3 and the outbound is SMTP (port 25 is blocked by the ISP). As I said it works fine for the main OS account but not when the same settings are used to set up the e-mail on the secondary OS account. Any advice would be most appreciated.

Hope you can read dutch?
This is an article from the dutch support site. It describes the cause of your problem. Be sure you us one network at the time.

Problems sending ISP mail on mac

I wonder if anyone can help me with a Mail issue. I'm using my own domain's email address in Mail,and am experiencing an unusual problem. I'm able to both send and receive email, but should I send an email, and then receive a reply, I can't send a further reply unless I shut down Mail, and then reopen it. It then sends just fine. The error message I receive says "Cannot send message using the server mail.xxxxxx.co.uk" It then suggests I verify the server settings, but I know these are correct as I've double and triple checked them, and contacted the support guys from my hosting service, who have confirmed they are set correctly.
What happens is I always have to select "Try Later" in the error message, close down Mail, reopen it, at which point the same error message pops up, only this time I select "Try with selected server", which is the same one that earlier refused to send it, and it sends without a problem. I can then send as many emails as I like, but as soon as I receive a reply from someone, I have to go through the whole process again. I don't have this problem with my mac.com emails, they send just fine.
Any ideas? I'm at a loss, and I really don't want to switch to another email client, as I like Mail.

i am having similar issues.
Is the problem on APPLE side or our side. I cannot send any mail.

Once again, I have problems sending e-mails from my iPad 2. I have a telus account and I have dealt with their tech people and they have checked all my settings and everything is fine. Apple techs advised to open Gmail acct. and re-route through it? Why?

I am having a difficult time trying to send e-mails from my iPad 2? I have contacted my Telus server tech people and we have double checked all my settings. Everything is properly set! Checked with my Apple people and they say this is a common problem with my server, yet others with the same server don't seem to have a problem. They suggested that I open a Gmail account and infor my mail server(Telus) to route my mail through my Gmail account? Does thei make sense? Are ther any other solutions I might investigate?

Hi prettytoni,
I saw one interesting solution to set a gmail account like as it is a "Microsoft Exchages" account... Maybe you can try to do the similiar with your Telus account? (I'm not sure about the result, but still you can try it))))

Problem sending E mails advises :server does not recognise my E Mail address"

When trying to send an E mail from my I Pad within reach of of my wifi router the mail is rejected by saying the server does not recognise my E mail address I have not experienced this before & would appreciate any advice to remedy the problem.Also the mail is sent to my SENT BOX & I cannot do anything with it other than delete.

it seems that after a upgrade these days you get problems ???
Sadly so far too often.
Since it's on more than one, I think you should contact BT, there are several 5.7.1 meanings...

Problem sending a mail to many adresses with attachments (Javamail, JSP)

Hi,
i got a problem with JavaMail trying to send a mail to different email-adresses in a JSP. The mail should be send to about 27 adresses, which works fine whenever i send it without any attachments. As soon as i attach a file, the mail still gets send without an error, but only to about 12 adresses instead of the intended 27. I get the adresses out of a database and in either case, there ist the correct amount of adresses. The Mailserver doesnt report anything - it sends the mails without any problem at the 12 adresses.
Here is the part of the code, thats sending:
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put("mail.smtp.host", "192.168.1.1 ");
Session s;
MimeMessage message;
InternetAddress from = new InternetAddress("[email protected]");
InternetAddress to;
s = Session.getInstance(props,null);
Transport trans=s.getTransport("smtp");
//get adresses from db
while (rspartner.next())
     to = new InternetAddress(rspartner.getString("postfach"));
     message.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, to);
     empfaengerzeile=rspartner.getRow();
     //out.println(empfaengerzeile+" --- "+rspartner.getString("postfach")+"<br>");
     BodyPart messageBodyPart=new MimeBodyPart();
     messageBodyPart.setText(nachricht);
     Multipart multipart=new MimeMultipart();
     multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
     //Dateinamen und Speicherort des Plan ermitteln
     queryAnhang=dbCon.prepareStatement("select pfad from m_baukoord_kommentar where baukoord_id=? and titel='Entwurfsplan'");
     queryAnhang.setString(1,request.getParameter("projektid"));
     rsanhang=queryAnhang.executeQuery();
     rsanhang.next();
     datei=rsanhang.getString("pfad");
     //Datei zippen
     quellpfad+= ebaukonr.trim() + "/" + datei;
     if(datei.contains("."))
          zipfilename=datei.substring(0,datei.lastIndexOf('.'))+".zip";
     else
          zipfilename=datei+".zip";
     zielpfad=config.getServletContext().getRealPath("")+"/strasse/UserDownloads/" + zipfilename;
     ZipOutputStream zipout = new ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(zielpfad));
     zipout.setLevel(9);
     zipout.setMethod(ZipOutputStream.DEFLATED);
     FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(quellpfad);
     zipout.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry(datei));
     int len;
     while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
         zipout.write(buf, 0, len);
     zipout.closeEntry();
     in.close();
     zipout.close();
     //Datei anhaengen
     messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
     FileDataSource source = new FileDataSource(zielpfad);
     messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
     messageBodyPart.setFileName("Entwurfsplan.zip");
     multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
     message.setSubject("Neues Projekt " + titel + " verfügbar");
     message.setContent(multipart);
     trans.send(message);

With active debug i got following information:
The first mail in the debug-log is with the source code as quoted in my first post, the second mail is when i cut out the part which generates and adds the attachement. I had to make the adresses anonymous, but the second mail contains a lot more adresses then the first, although they both use the same query with same parameters, etc.
Have i done something wrong with the attachements? Overwriting headers, syntax errors, anything? I'm out of ideas...
edit: Had to cut out the debug-log because it is too big. It just said that everything was working ok, but the first mail contains too few adresses and the second (without attachement) the correct number of adresses. I can mail the log, if you like.

Problem sending AOL mail in Mail 2.1.1

I just switched from using the AOL mail program to the Mac Mail program for sending and receiving AOL mail. It worked flawlessly for 2 weeks. Then, suddenly yesterday I could only receive AOL mail, I could not send. I have scoured the Apple discussions and Googled the web for any causes of this problem, but cannot find a reason.
Anyone else having this problem? I have checked and rechecked my settings in Mail preferences. I have deleted and re-added the AOL account.
What is odd is that every once in a while I can send a few test messages and then it stops working again. I know, I hate AOL, but for various reasons I have to keep the account.
Thanks,
Sue

Not sure how you missed it - the answer for Susan is in her previous post.
However, I tried something else this morning and it worked. Since I have a Broadband connection thru my cable company, I set it as the smtp server for sending mail and that worked. It is invisible to the recipients, in other words, the From in the header to recipients still says it's from my AOL.com account.
If you have confirmed AOL's authenticated SMTP server settings using Port 587 which recently stopped working, depending on the error message provided more than likely your internet service provider made a change in regards to using an SMTP server that is outside of their network.
If you are also accessing an email account and SMTP server that is provided by your ISP used for connecting to the internet with Mail and there are no problems sending messages with this account and SMTP server, select/use your ISP's SMTP server to send messages with your AOL account which can also be used to send messages with any email account that is not provided by your ISP.
If not, add your ISP's SMTP server to Mail as an available SMTP server to select/use for sending messages with your AOL account.
This was/is Susan's solution and the solution required by many depending on their ISP's restrictions.
