Problems sending & receiving email in Mail program in iMac

I've just recently been unable to send & receive emails on my iMac. So far, no problems with iPhones or iPad. I've tried changing the server settings with info from Verizon's site and no luck. The server settings show "offline." Any ideas?

Wondering if you received a response. Same happening for a while now.

I cannot send gmail emails from Mail on my IMac.

I cannot send emails from Mail on my iMac using gmail. I get the following error message:
The SMTP server “relay.gradwell.net” rejected the password for user “succeed”
Neither of these have anything to do with my username or password, which I have checked are correctly entered in Accounts.

Having trouble with my iCloud email in Mail program on iMac

I converted to iCloud a few months ago and everything has been working well. Today, my Mail program can neither download nor send emails for my iCloud account on my iMac (about 4 years old). It just seems to churn. I CAN however, access my iCoud email on my iPhone. Any ideas what might be wrong? Thanks. George T.

Thanks WC. I DID delete/re-enter my iCloud email account, and it all came back and is working fine . . . at least for the moment. The planets are back in alignment. Thanks. George T.

A problem to sync emails in Mail app between iMac and Macbook Air

Hello members,
I have had a problem that can't sync emails in Mail app(OSX Mavericks) betwee iMac and Macbook Air. I have iCloud mail account and several Gmail accounts on the mail app.
Is there anyone to help me?

When both are at home on the same network and sharing drives, you can use a variety of tools. Check the App store for fily syncronization. Also, OS X includes rsync if you are a UNIX command line person, and there are shareware GUI's for rsync as well (RsyncX was one I remember). Then there are commercial tools like Chronosync.
Another, albeit to my mind cumbersome way, is to use an airport time capsule and time machine. You use TM to backup each machine, and use the option in TM to browse another TM backup to restore from (eg. come home from a trip, backup the MacBook Air, then log on to the iMac, browse to the MBA backup volume and restore what you recently worked on from there).
Or get a NAS device for home and use that as a common personal form of dropbox. The key would be keeping a neat uniform directory structure for the things you need sync'd - like maybe just the Documents folder & subfolders.

Problem Sending / Receiving Netnames Domain Mail V...

This has happened before (but not for a few years). The core problem occurs when sending and receiving NetNames domain e mails via a single BT Yahoo account. This more or less ground to a halt on Thursday and has been a problem for a fourth day today.
As a test I have changed the forwarding on one domain so it now points to a hotmail account. That domain's mail now seems to be working as long as the original e mail is not sent from a BT account. Which suggests a unique problem between the two entities.
The remaining domains I control (those belonging to clients) are still pointed to BT Yahoo which does not appear to be sending or receiving any mail for those .coms and .co.uks etc.
Usually works fine (web mail, the BT Yahoo ap, Blackberry and via OE all ok normally) but any problem usually has both BT and NM denying resonsibility and tends to drag on. Time I do not have.
Anyone else got this issue? Anyone at BT got a helpful suggestion?

Hi Anthony, some ISPs won't pass .mp3s, does one smaller one work?
Mail itself has no limit to attachments as far as I know.
Also, 16 meg sent via eMail could easily be 24-32 meg once encoded to send.
Can you post them online & just eMail them a link?

Problems sending/receiving mail on original iphone

The last 2 days my wife has had problems sending/receiving email on her original iphone. We have yahoo/att email server still using prodigy.net email addresses. This happened several months ago to both of us. My original iphone isn't affected.

Set it up as IMAP or configure it so that, while using POP, it retains a copy of the message on the server so that it can be downloaded again on multiple clients.

Since upgrading to IOS 8.1.2, I cannot send/receive emails from either of my Apple or Verizon email accounts. Does anyone know how to fix this problem or how to go back to IOS 8.1.1?

On my iPhone 5 I am having a problem sending / receiving e-mails and am receiving the message: the user name or password for "imap.gmail" is incorrect. Despite many attempts I am getting nowhere. Does anyone recognise this problem?

I am having a problem sending/receiving e mail messages on my iPhone 5 and cannot access my account. The message I am receiving is: The user name or password for "imap.gmail" is incorrect.
I do not know what imap.gmail is. I have also lost data which was contained on my diary which I believe is linked to the problem. Does anyone recognise this problem?
Cheers,

imap.gmail is the Google mail server. It doesn't recognize the password that is stored in the iPhone. The problem is that the password or email address you have in Settings for the gmail account is wrong. If you changed the password somewhere else that is the reason. You need to go to Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendar, tap on the gmail account and enter the correct password. You also need to change it for outgoing mail in Settings.

See Below. I have a problem with receiving email. Sending is ok. This is for my Thunderbird email account.

"An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: 5.1.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table. Please check the message recipient [email protected] and try again."

''I have a problem with receiving email.''
''An error occurred while sending mail.''
Who is right here?
''This is for my Thunderbird email account.''
There is no such thing as a 'Thunderbird email account'. Thunderbird is an email client, and you use it to retrieve mail from an account you created with your email provider.

Receiving message"There was a problem sending the command to the program" every time I access a website using a desktop icon via Firefox.

When I click on a desktop icon and access a site via Firefox I get the message "There was a problem sending the command to the program". This started to happen after I downloaded the most recent version of Firefox. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it and the message still comes up every time. The site will come up about three seconds after the message appears but the message is a real pain to put up with. What is the problem? I am ready to dump Firefox and go to Opera.

Hi bob1935-
I did some research and found a couple of previously answered questions that have multiple options for solving your problem. Please look at these:

Thunderbird config to send/receive email

I tried configuring Thunderbird to send/receive email from my new verizon fios account. Simple Pop3 - how hard can it be? Well, using the settings provided, I am unable to send or receive email. I called and talked to tech support and they said they don't support Thunderbird, but I could talk to 'premium' support since they have no support boundaries. Well, I don't think I should have to pay to get my email setup to a POP3 client.
Here's my current config:
Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0.0.23
Account:
Server Type: POP Mail Server
Server Name: incoming.yahoo.verizon.net
Port 110
User Name: myname
Security Settings: Use Secure Connection: never
Use secure authentication - not checked
SMTP Server
Server Name: outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net
Port: 25
User secure connection: no
When trying to send an email I get:
Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify...
When I try to get mail I get:
Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server incoming.yahoo.verizon.net responded: Error logging in. Please visit http://mail.yahoo.com
Any help would be appreciated.

That was the one thing the tech told me on the phone - to use verizon.yahoo.net for incoming and outgoing instead of verizon.net
Other than that, I'm not sure where else to check that that is correct.
If the agent told you to use the Yahoo servers, they were probably right. If you want to verify, you can log into your account at www.verizon.net and it should say that you have a Verizon with Yahoo account.
As for the settings:
1. Make sure the username and password that you have are the correct ones. Logging in to verizon.net will verify this.
2. Check your incoming server settings. They should look something like the following image. (Of course, where the example just says "username" your username should be filled in.)
3. Check your outgoing server settings. They should look something like the following image. (Of course, where the example just says "username" your username should be filled in.)
4. Make sure that the password you are entering is correct. I suggest typing it out in a notepad then using copy and paste to verify that it is correct, since it will appear as asterisks in Thunderbird. Once you have successfully sent and received a test message, you might consider checking the box for remembering your password, although this is less secure than typing it in every time.
Hope this helps! If you have any other questions, just let us know.

I have BIS but can't surf, send/receive email, use apps

i have BB Curve 8520. My BIS was running smoothly (sending and receiving emails real time and surfing the net through BIS), until i noticed when i tried to reply to an email that came in, it won't send. i noticed that it's fluctuating. i was able to send the email after a few minutes... then a few minutes later, i received a replied email from my friend, and when i tried to send my reply, i wasn't able to. also, i can't surf using the browser with the "internet browser" as default. i tried using my wifi and then suddenly all my emails started coming in, all emails that were not able to go through hours ago. my big question was why do i need to turn on wifi just to receive emails. but since i had my BIS for 2 months now, i can send and receive emails and surf through BIS itself without turning on the wifi. also, i can't use any of my apps like facebook, twitter, yahoo messenger, etc. They used to work fine with BIS... but now, i have to turn on the wifi connection, so i could log in with them. aren't these supposed to be running through BIS only?
I have GPRS on top, not gprs. my carrier says i have active data plan/BIS. but under Services Status..it says Blackberry Internet Service: Connection: not connected...
so, i wiped out my BB and deleted all third party apps. when this was done, i received emails telling me "Your handheld has been registered with the wireless network" and even got "Activation Server" emails telling me that the emails that i have previously set up are now up and running. so i thought my BB is now ok.. i tried surfing, it was okay. after like about 5 minutes, it was down again. tried sending email but can't... i turned on the wifi and boom! the emails started coming in again.i have the Host Routing Tables and my Service Books in my BB. I have GPRS (not gprs) on top which means i have active BIS. i have registered my HRTs several times... and resending my service books... same thing...
the big mystery is when i turn on the wifi, the emails suddenly go through and i can send emails. i can open apps that used to only run on BIS. this is ok i guess, but i could never do any of these if i'm not connected to wifi.
my sister and i have the same BB... i removed my sim and inserted it to her BB and the BIS worked fine... i was able to surf and use apps.. but when i put my sim back on my phone, the problem still exists. i even used a different sim card that is also subscribed to BIS/data plan, and it still has the same problem... my guess is my carrier is right that my data plan is working ok and that my handheld itself has the problem...
i updated my OS, same problem.. wiped it out... used BBSAK, reinstalled OS... numerous battery pulls... same thing... i can receive the HRTs and service books, but after that can't do anything else like i used to... (send/receive emails, use apps like facebook, twitter, ym, etc., can't surf with internet browser - except when wifi is on everything else work fine even emails and apps)..
i would really appreciate your help guys.. thanks!

-My carrier has not reported any data outage.
- I'm in an area where I've had RIM data services (for months now). It has always been working well. I've never really had any problems with my BIS until 4 days ago when it just suddenly stopped sending/receiving emails, surfing through internet browser, using facebook, twitter, ym apps, etc..
-the big mystery is when i turn on the wifi, the emails suddenly go through and i can send emails. i can open apps that used to only run on BIS. this is ok i guess, but i could never do any of these if i'm not connected to wifi.
-i've read somewhere that it may be some application error or something, so I've wiped out my BB thrice now, deleted all third party apps, everything is clean i guess, but still I end up with the same problem.
-i updated my OS, same problem.. wiped it out... used BBSAK, reinstalled OS... same thing...
can you help me out with this? i have tried battery pull, wipe out and OS reinstallation lots of times but same problem happens...

I have an Ipad 2 and are having problems sending out emails in one of my email address. I always get a message reading the email was not sent because the server does not allow relaying. This is an email account POP3. I have no such problem with gmail.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

Thunderbird is no longer able to connect to internet (sending/receiving email, updating, creating a new account,...Firefox connects well

Version 24.4.0 worked fine until yesterday (2014-04-06) running under windows 8.1 and suddenly it could no longer connetc to internet (sending/receiving email, updating, creating a new account,..). No change was done on my accounts configuration. Other applications connect correctly to internet. Some Windows 8.1 updates were automaticaly applied during the same period (??).
Any suggestion would be appreciate
Rgds

Thank you for your answer. Of course before posting I checked the differetn relmated topics..
As I explained nothing changed between the moment Thunderbird worked and the moment it stopped working. I checked the firewall (Norton intenet security) and the firewall of my router (Netgear). Nothing relates to Thunderbird.
I cans get my mail from another workqtation (ubuntu/evolution) with the same provider (same parameters). I just wonder if the last windows 8.1 updates could provoke this trouble...
For the moment I cannot get rid of this.
