Problems setting up simple outgoing e-mail

Hi,
I'm trying to set up outgoing emails on my ECC5 system. So far I have done the following:
1. In SCOT, have set up SMTP node to point to our company email server, specifying port, setting node to "in use", setting everything according to instructions.
2. In SCOT, have set up job to send regularly.
3. In RZ10, have set icman properties correctly.
4. Have opened the port on our server (25).
When I try to send a mail, however, I get message XS 751 "Message cannot currently be transferred to node SMTP due to connection error".
The long text mentions something about an RFC connection. This kind of makes sense...do I need to set up an RFC connection between my R/3 system and my mail server?
Thanks!

Hi Gary,
Thanks for the advice, points awared. That domain was, indeed, incorrectly set (I'm working on an IDES system and it was pointing to an SAP domain).
I've now set that correctly, but am still getting the same error.
Is there anything special I need to do on the mail server to get this working?
One thing I don't understand is that nowhere do you specify a username/ password for connecting to the mail server. That surely can't be right as, if so, anyone could potentially use our mail server if they just knew the address for it.
Cheers,
Tristan

Problems setting up email client (Mac Mail) with BC hosted emails

This issue has me tearing my hair out! My client wanted to take advantage of the 10 emails addresses with WebBasics. Very simple to sort out and the emails are all happily available with mail going in and out through the WebMail interface. Brilliant.
However my client wanted to be able to access her emails through Mac Mail. And I cannot get the outgoing mail to work.
I have followed instructions to the letter, and I can get emails to come in but when I try to send it simply states that the stmp.clientsdomain.com say's it's offline.
I have tried using alternative ports, also using the ISP outgoing mail setting with no luck.
My main issue after speaking to the livechat guys at BC and using Factsheets, is the information on them (screenshots etc) just does not reflect Mac Mail, I admit that I am probably using a later / earlier version but the differences seemt o be huge. For instance, I keep being told that I need to UNTICK the SSL box during configuration. But my version of Mac Mail, doesn't give me the option to tick or untick at any point, it does however throw up a warning message saying that my client's domain is invalid inscure but I can carry on. Similarly when I look at the Account Summary on the FactSheet it says that it should show "SSL:OFF" but when I follow the instructions it states "SSL:ON" . I have gone into preferences afterwards to untick SSL but it still does not work.
Anyone have an answer?

Hi Peter,
I'm afraid not, I turned to Apple support forums, followed their advice for troubleshooting Mac Mail (obviously not relevant to you using Outlook) but It involved scanning ports checking firewalls etc, all of this was clear and I just cannot see the problem.
I even got one of the Livechat BC guys to look into it, by setting up a dummy email address on the client's account, I think he was rather intrigued, but I'm not sure he's had much luck as he still hasn't got back to and that was over 20 hours ago.
Can your client receive emails? I can only get my client's account receiving emails, when I try to send an email I just keep receiving an message telling me that it cannot connect to smtp!
According to the BC fact sheet for sending and receiving emails: "By Default, email software will set the SMTP port to 25, which is the standard port for the smtp protocol. However our mail service has two alternative ports available that you can send through. 8025 or 587.
However it's not blocked and those port settings didn't work either.
The Apple fact sheet made mention to firewall settings possibly also blocking, but it's not relevant to me using my version of OS.
Good luck, and please repost if you get any further.
I am now just looking for a reason that my client's mail WONT work on Mac Mail, just so I can sound professional when I tell them the answer is "no".

Problems setting email headers with javax.mail.*

I'm trying desperatly to send HTML emails with javax.mail but I simply can't. No matter what I do, no matter how and where I set the headers it always come out as text.
Here's a sample code:
try {
 Properties props = System.getProperties();
 props.put("mail.smtp.host", "smtp.ability.com.br");
 Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);
 Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
 msg.setHeader("Content-Type", "text/html");
 msg.setRecipient( MimeMessage.RecipientType.TO, new InternetAddress("[email protected]") );
 msg.setFrom( new InternetAddress("[email protected]") );
 msg.setSubject("teste");
 msg.setText("testeeeeeeeeeeeee");
 Transport.send( msg );
 } catch( Throwable t ) {
 System.err.println(t);
 }and here's the resulting email:
Return-Path: <[email protected]>
Delivered-To: [email protected]
Received: (qmail 5895 invoked by uid 510); 21 Dec 2004 16:41:49 -0000

testeeeeeeeeeeeeeWhat am I missing here?
Thanks in advance,
Christian

msg.setText("testeeeeeeeeeeeee");R
eplace that
bymsg.setContent("testeeeeeeeeeeeee",
"text/html");
Thanks DrClap, but that's not exactly the solution I'm looking for, cuz I would have to hard-code that header.
I have an Email class that I use as a wrapper for the javax.mail API, and I wanna be able to have a setHeader() method that works to enable the users to set the content-type of the text (or HTML) portion of the email, even when there are attachments. How can I achieve this?

Problem setting up outgoing e-mail on i-phone 4.

Problem setting up outgoing e-mail on i-phone 4. see for my reply to this post

Problems setting up my mail.

Just today I bought a new MacBook Pro. I am completely new to Mac computers, and while trying to set up the email ran into some difficulties. I can receive emails, but cannot send them. When attempting to send an email the following error message appears, "Cannot send message using the server promail.ptd.net." This is the same server in place for receiving mail. I have checked the email providers website for their instructions, and this is the server we should use for outgoing mail. I am running Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

You may have already done this, but if you are using Apple's Mail program, setting up the outgoing mail server is not as simple as it first appears. In Mail's Preferences, the Outgoing Server dropdown list includes, as the last item, "Edit Server List". If you select this, you will have more boxes to fill in according to your ISP's requirements for account information and, under the Advanced tab, authentication. In my experience, when outgoing mail is repeatedly rejected, it is usually an authentication problem.

Problems with setting up my ISP's mail server in Windows Live Mail and Thunderbird

The laptop is a G60-535DX with Windows 7 64 bit. I've managed to setup my gmail account fine in Live Mail, but when setting up my ISP' mail server, it doesn't work. I get the message that the information was entered correctly, and I see the 'connecting' at the bottom of the page, and then 'error', and clicking on it shows a socket error #10061. In Thunderbird, I get a timeout error message. I've entered all the incoming and outgoing server information correctly, (I've done this over 8-9 times now), the ports are the defaults(110,25), no SSL, no authentication. I've talked with my ISP several times. Just a couple of hours ago was the last time. Their only other possibilities were that Live Mail had problems with setting up more than one account, that Live Mail needed updating, that Windows 7 was a new operating system and there were 'kinks'. I removed the gmail account, set up the ISP's mail by itself; didn't help. I checked for Live Mail updates, but found out that they all come from Windows updates(which are current). The folks on PCQ&A inform me that they have 3 or 4 accounts with Live Mail. I can get my mail, by logging onto my ISP's website, but that' kind of a nuisance. I posted this in Seven Forums and they didn't have any ideas. As I said, I also can't get my mail server to work in Thunderbird, either. I don't know what else to try. (short of activating the recovery partition and starting from scratch). Any ideas would be more that welcome.
Thanks,
Steve

Nevermind, it's fixed. One of the guys on PCQ&A suggested going to my ISP's website to see if they had a support page. They did and it stated that under certain circumstances that for the login ID the whole email address should be entered. For XP and Outlook Express one only uses the first part of the email address (your name); so just for grins I entered the whole address, name and all and everyting worked. Called my ISP and was told that that wasn't the way it's supposed to work. Well----
Thanks anyway,

Mine works the same way_must enter full email address as login. AT&T?

Problem setting up smtp mail out .

Hi all you good people .
I am having a problem setting up the mail program . I'm using mail two under os-x leopard 10.5.7 . I have the pop mail working fine , but for some reason or another it wont send the mail out . I remember I got it working before , but it was a pain in the butt to do . So I ma forced to use Microsoft Entourage for my mail receiving and sending . I think Microsoft Takes more skill to use than the apple mail program .
I would love for someone to help me solve this . My mail server is from time warner . I use there High speed internet for my mail access .
P.S Roadrunner .

Hi,
I assume you are using Mail 3.6, and not "mail two"?
What Authentication are you using on this SMTP? If not already, try using None, and removing Password and Username from SMTP setup for at least one test. Most Roadrunner SMTP are authenticated by reference to the IP address of your Modem, and using a separate authentication of the SMTP results in failure.
Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information, then click on the arrows beside the name of the SMTP in the section on Outgoing Server. After you click on the arrows, choose Edit Server List. Then if the SMTP is set up with the correct name, etc, click on the Advance Tab, use Custom Port with Port 25, None as authentication, and do not enter any Username and Password. Under authentication of None, the name of the SMTP will not have your Username appended. This is the equivalent, after having previously done the set up, to those email clients with a setting to use the info of the Incoming for authentication.
Let us know, but Roadrunner can vary from area to area on this, but this is the way it seems to always work.

Problems setting up Tiscali e-mail account using W...

Hi All
New to this - my first post so apologies if I'm asking the obvious!
I used to be with Tiscali as service provider and continue to use my Tiscali e-mail addy and check it on Tiscali webmail page.
Tonight I decided to set it up on Windows Mail. Can receive my e-mails but cannot send. I'm getting this error message -
Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Subject 'Re: xxx', Account: 'home', Server: 'smtp.tiscali.co.uk', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10053, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F
I know Tiscali is having a few problems at the mo but I can send using the webmail page.
I have a feeling I am having trouble since I changed to BT as my provider as months back, before I changed, I seem to remember it being ok?
Can anyone tell me if I need to amend the server details? Currently using pop.tiscali.co.uk as incoming and smtp.tiscali.co.uk as outgoing?
Thanks in advance
Cheers

Hi.
In order to send emails "from" your Tiscali email address (whilst it's still working) you need to alter the smtp server to mail.btinternet.com. Receiving is fine as you've noticed.
You will then almost certainly get a 553 error message (address verification), in which case pop along to my shortcuts option 0e.

Problems with incoming and outgoing mail

I've read a number of posts on this topic, yet none completely matches the problems I'm having.
Incoming Mail:
My incoming e-mail is a pop account hosted by Earthlink. I am able to enter my data and get mail using a non wi-fi network.
Outgoing Mail:
When I use the generic AT&T outgoing server, it works, but then I am unable to get mail, and vice-versa. (I tried sending mail through the general web hosting server that Earthlink recommended (and works on my laptop when traveling away from home network, but it just spins.)
Conflict:
I am either able to send mail or receive mail, not both at once, thank-you-very-much.
The settings and ports are unchanged. And, I can't figure out why one would affect the other considering they are two completely different settings.
We're currently trying to set up a smtp.com or Google mail account, which is okay, but I would much rather solve this without any more links in the chain.
Any suggestions? Will re-setting my iPhone completely help?

Yes, thanks, was my first stop and very handy.
Unfortunately, because my pop account is hosted/relayed at Earthlink, it did not identify the account as it would a stand-alone service. I tried using the basic Earthlink account info, but of course, my basic account does not have anything to do with my current business pop account. So after using the set-up assistant, I was back at square one.
I was able to set up smtp.com successfully and am up and running.
I just can't figure out why one setting would mess up another.

Problems setting up Mail to Exchange

Hey everyone,
Having a few problems setting up mail to exchange on a Nokia 5800.
We have the latest version of Mail to Exchange installed.
Were using Microsoft Exchange 2007.
Example serup of what we have done:
Mail to exchange - New profile - Input Username and Password of domain account - Input domain name - Chose Internet as means of connection -
The Nokia goes off and searches for the domain information, finds it OK. Shows a message regarding a server certificate, we chose to install this certificate this time only.
Phone crashes?
Any ideas whats going on?

Hi Jim,
Depending on the customer feedback, it works fine. Apple Mail the client that comes with OSX supports standard protocols (POP3, IMAP, SMTP), these are all supported by Exchange 2010.
If you're running Mac OS 10.4 Tiger or Mac OS 10.5 Leopard, you can still use the Mac Mail App to connect to your account. However, you need to connect to your account without using IMAP or POP.
If you're running Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard or Mac OS 10.7 Lion, you can use the Mail program included with those releases to connect to your email account automatically using an Exchange account.
When you use Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard or Mac OS 10.7 Lion and connect using an Exchange account, you can use features that aren't available to users who connect through IMAP or POP, including iCal and Address Book.

Problem setting up mail account.

I just got a mac, but I am having a problem setting up my email account. I have a yahoo account and I am trying to link it up with Mac Mail or Entourage. When I try to set it up on Yahoo it just says
"Trying to log into mail server "pop.mail.yahoo.com" failed. This server may require an additional fee for POP access."
Entourage just says that it failed to log in. What is the problem. I know that my password and username are all correct. Any other way I can get it linked, do I need to open another email account?

"Trying to log into mail server "pop.mail.yahoo.com" failed. This server may require an additional fee for POP access."
What is the problem.
Well, the problem is stated clearly in the error message: "an additional fee for POP access".
AFAIK you need a YahooPlus-account to be able to POP your mail. Free accounts gain webaccess only.

Slow outgoing Pop mail with Lion- is anyone else having this problem? Email without attachments can take 10 minutes or more to go.

Outgoing pop mail is very slow - at times 10 - 20 minutes and more, even on messges with no attachments. This has happened since my upgrade to Lion. My DSL line tests out ok, but Apple says it must be a slow line. Any one else have problems?

POP is only used for incoming mail. Some POP servers are the same as SMTP servers.
Check to make sure your internet service provider can either give you an SMTP server, or that you are using password authentication to get to an outside line with the proper port. Outside SMTP servers are often on one of the ports 587, 2626, 2662, and often use your full e-mail address for username authentication.

Problems with Outgoing e-mail on E75

I set up a new e-mail account on my new E75. It successfully created the account and is able to receive all incoming mails. Nevertheless, every time I write a new e-mail message it sends a message saying "Message Queued" and display the icon of the Outgoing folder.
It does not send any e-mail. I checked and re-checked all the parameters for the Outgoing server; cloned the same parameter as they are in MS Outlook in my laptop computer; played around with ports 110, 25 and 465; deleted and re-created the e-mail account time and again; and nothing!
I'd appreciate any feedback.

hadimassa has got a point, but I think I'll be able to help:
Most of the SMTP servers allow "anonymous" incoming connections only from specific IP addresses (normally from the IP range which is owned by the operator) and if e.g. your broadband SMTP server is from different Internet Service Provider than your SIM-card, then the SMTP server will most probably reject your outgoing emails.
My suggestion is that you'll check with your SIM card provider which is the SMTP server address which you can use. This information can most probably be found from your operator's web page or by calling their customer support.
