Resetting Mail accounts after drive crashed. Can't send...

My drive crashed. I was able to save my data with Disk Warrior. Installed Tiger on one of two external drives, and I'm setting everything back up on it from backed up and saved files.
Mail refuses to let me send. (Receives fine) My ISP (Cable) incoming and outgoing server settings have not changed. Web mail works fine. So I know my user name/passwords are correct. Also trying to reset up my business e-mail account with server settings from our hosting service. I've triple checked user name/password/incoming and outgoing settings. Webmail works fine on this account too. Mac Mail will not receive OR send on this account. I've tried ditching the Plist file from preferences and starting fresh several times. WHAT AM I MISSING HERE? It all worked fine for years before, with the same settings. Anyone have a suggestion? Thanks!

Thanks for the reply Ernie, The first part seemed to work. I removed the authentication on the ISP provided account, and I can now send and receive from this account. (With the modem authenticating, I don't need further security measures do I?)
However, the Hosted account still refuses to allow mail coming or going through Mac Mail/Cable ISP. It says that "The POP server has rejected the password for user " ". I have tried it with the hosted smtp outgoing server selected, as well as with the ISP provided outgoing server selected. No dice. (This used to occasionally happen before my drive rebuild and switching between these outgoing servers worked. Dunno why.)
Any further light you can shed on this is truely appreciated!

HT201342 My I pad mail account has "locked up" can't send or receive nor access my emails - any ideas why and how to fix it!

I can't access any functionality on my icloud email account on my I pad, all functions other than loading has locked up the last received email was a local government one. so I'm using my PC to send this. Any ideas how to unfreeze this account? Safari and all other apps seem to be working OK.

Hi Jim,
You may not have done anything but glitches happen when systems are old and if you are still on 10.3 perhaps it's time to update or upgrade a few notches. Or are you on a different OS to your profile?

From the Ipad manual - actually the same in Ipad, Ipod, Iphone --- the support site listed has frequently asked questions on Icloud drive.
Set up iCloud Drive
You can set up iCloud Drive using Setup Assistant when you install iOS 8, or you can set it up later in Settings. iCloud Drive is an upgrade to Documents & Data. When you upgrade to iCloud Drive, your documents are copied to iCloud Drive and become available on your devices using iCloud Drive. You won’t be able to access the documents stored in iCloud Drive on your other devices until they are also upgraded to iOS 8 or OS X Yosemite. For more information about upgrading to iCloud Drive, see support.apple.com/kb/HT6345.
Set up iCloud Drive. Go to Settings > iCloud > iCloud Drive, turn on iCloud Drive, then follow the onscreen instructions.

What account password? Are you saying you change the password to your Hotmail email account?
If so did you make the changes on your iphone in message settings?

Are there any known conflicts between Mountain Lion and Microsoft Outlook for Mac? After installing, I can't send or receive eMails

Are there any known conflicts between Mountain Lion (10.8.3) and Microsoft Outlook for Mac? After installing, I can't send or receive eMails. Using a Macbook Pro.

Is this a recent problem or has it been going on for some time. If you just updated to ML, you might want to confirm that you've update to the latest MS Office / Outlook patches.

Under Settings, then to Yahoo mail, I tapped the "Reset All Accounts" button, now I can't access my Yahoo email. What do I do to get my email back to the way it was?

I tapped the "Reset All Accounts" button under settings (Yahoo Mail). Now, I can't access my (Yahoo) email from my iPhone. How do I re-set to the way it was?

If it still shows up under your accounts you would want to tap on it and then tap on the email address. You should see the option to sign out, do so and then re-add the account by hitting add account from settings> Mail contacts and calendars.
If the accounts are not on the device start at re-adding the accounts.
If you need the server settings you will need to contact Yahoo.

After Leopard upgrade can't send mail in Apple Mail with dot mac account.

Just upgraded to Leopard and now I can't send mail through Apple Mail. Checked smtp and that's OK. How do I check what ports are open? That may be the problem. I looked at the Apple trouble shooting page and did everything there except the port check.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Lou

Fixed my own problem. I put in the SMTP address but didn't save. Once I saved it worked.

Accessing mail account after 2.2 update -takes me to iPhone home

Anyone else having this problem or know how it is resolved?
I have just updated and have 3 email accounts which I have never had any problem with.
Tonight (UK) after the update one of my accounts canot be accessed. When I select inbox (where there is unread mail) the email program closes and takes me to Iphone home where I can see all applications. I can access the the sent email and trash but not inbox.
Hopefully it's a quick fix as I need access to email duing the week!

So- went into mail account and switched off all mail. This meant I could get into mail (but obviously no mail visible) swithched them back on one at a time and pop email was the problem. Deleted pop account and set up again - but still same problem-says 1 mail in account (but there isn't) and when I select the 1 mail it crashes back to home page?
So 2 out of 3 accounts are working and one is locked (ntl)...
Answers on a postcard...

Mail in iOS 7 changes default mail account after entering addresses?

I just noticed that the Mail app in iOS 7 changes the sent from email address from my default to another account I have after entering in the send to address. When I first create the new email the correct default email address is showing (iCloud) but after I add any send to address it changes to another account (Hotmail) as the sent from account.
I checked my settings and iCloud is still set as the default account, I can click and change it before sending the email but I think this may be a bug unless there is something I missed.
Anyone else have this problem?

Oh, and just to add, whilst under Settings > Mail it does indeed state 'default mail account to use when an application outside of mail attempts to send mail'. However also when you are in the Mail app and on the main screen where you can see all your mailboxes, the Mail App also needs a 'default' account, and in my experience/opinion this is pulled from the Default account within Settings > Mail rather than which ever mailbox is top of the list within the Mail app (didnt work for me!)
But regardless, I have sent an email from an app outside of Mail and the issue is encountered:- I have my virgin.net as my default email (via Settings > Mail). I go into the Photo app, and select a photo to email. My virgin.net email is showing in the From box - so far so good. I select an email address for the To box. My From email address switches to my iCloud.com address. So this is the bug. It should not be doing this. This is the same issue it seems encountered by the original member of this thread. Anyone know how you alert Apple to bugs in their software?

Duplicate mail accounts after converting to icloud from mobile me

Anyone else having problems with their iPhone 4s after converting from mobile me to iCloud?
I did the conversion and everythign works, except I cannot get my old mobile me mail account to go away on my iPhone.
I've deleted it from the accounts section of settings, but I still have an old mobile me mailbox that is showing the exact same thing as my iCloud mailbox.
It's like a mirror mail account that won't go away!
I just did a complete factory reset and updated to iOS 5, but it's still showing up.

Many thanks for the suggestion, I copied the messages in the iCloud mailboxes to new boxes "On My Mac".
As suggested here I then unchecked the "Mail and Notes" item in the iCloud pane in System Prefs on the iMac, iCloud then disappeared from my mailboxes. I then unchecked the "Enable this Account' box in Mail Prefs for the Mobiel Me a/c.
After checking the "Mail and Notes" item in the iCloud pane in System Prefs the iCloud boxes reappeared in Mail. I then deleted the Mobile Me a/c in Mail.
Seems a bit of a rigmarole! but it worked!
