Rule for outgoing mail?

Hello,
I am currently using Entourage 2008 for mail and I have the ability there to create rules for BOTH incoming and outgoing mail items.
I have a friend that is only using MAIL in Leopard and he wishes to copy items from his sent items folder up to his mail server sent items folder. His mail account is set up as a POP3 account.
I am wondering if MAIL supports setting up outbound email rules.
I believe that my other solution is to set up a new IMAP account so that sent items are in sync with his mail server and he can refer back to them from his iPhone's IMAP account.
Can someone experienced creating mail rules enlighten me on this?
Thanks in advance!
Kind Regards

I have been using MailActOn for the past week and I have to say that it has solved ALL my problems and has made me way more efficient!
I have finally removed my last Mickey$oft vestige from my MAC. ( Entourage )
I was having some serious issues with the entourage database size and corruption.
I am an IT consultant and I get a ton of email every day.
My Entourage database size was in excess of 1.8 GB.
For some reason Entourage kept claiming I had a corrupt database daily and I needed to restore from backups constantly.
Now that I have switched to Mail.app it is not only faster, but I have been able to create more customized rules.
I HIGHLY recommend this add on!
Kind Regards

How can I increase the file size limit for outgoing mail. I need to send a file that is 50MB?

You can't change it, and I suspect few email providers would allow a file that big. Consider uploading it to a service like Dropbox, then email the link allowing the recipient to download it.

Sound for outgoing mail sometimes happening and sometimes not

Hello,
I noticed already some time ago that Apple Mail seems to make the usual sound for outgoing mail only sometimes and sometimes not. It is more not happening than happening. I cannot recognize any pattern in this behavior.
Any idea what is going on here and how to fix it - or is this a normal behavior for Mail?
Thanks.

Thanks--I found it interesting! Especially when Spell Check quit working for me, too.
Very weird.
I went back and selected 'Correct Spelling Automatically' in Text Edit-- that works, but I don't like it either. Whoops, only intermittently. I just looked again and that's not working now. Wow, no restart of computer and I hadn't closed Text Edit-yet it stopped working.
Spell checking seems to be behaving badly. It will not underline in mail--until I change a misspelled word....and then only sometimes. At the best it's intermittent.
I hope someone found it interesting enough to fix w/the next system update...

I need to change my password for outgoing mail server but it won't let me

I Need to change my password for outgoing mail server on iPad 2 but it won't let me change it. I can't send out mail

I assume that you mean that the setting is grayed out and that is what "it won't let me" means. Have you tried selecting another SMTP server of you have another one available in the settings?

One of my servers is showing 'offline' for outgoing mail. how do I get it online again?

one of my servers is shoing as 'offline' for outgoing mail. How do I get it online again?

Thanks for this but still not working. I have changed my server password and input it but it only shows OK for a second or so and the 'offline' comes up again...aaaagh
I am not very PC literate so any other options would need to be in basic English too.

Finding proper smtp server for outgoing mail

I added my school's e-mail account and i can receive mail just fine. I'm having trouble finding the right server name to send mail from that school address.
Is there any general rule for what a server should be called, or is it specific and i need to find out from the school?

There are not har and fast rules about naming of SMTP servers. Naming convention usually results in 'mail.yourdomain.com' or 'smtp.yourdomain.com' but the naming is just a preference of whoever set up the server. You generally need to ask your mail server administrator for the name and/or access information. There are some definite caveats that are likely going to affect you however --
- Most mail admins do not allow SMTP access to their servers from off their network unless they've configured/enabled SMTP Authentication or some other way of verifying that you're really who you claim to be. Again, your mail system admin can let you know if they support this and how to configure Mail.
- It is almost always acceptable to use the SMTP server of your ISP (comcast, bellsouth, etc) regardless of the POP/IMAP account you are checking. You do not need to use your @comcast or @bellsouth email address to send through those servers.
- When in doubt about server settings, mail server admins would generally be happy with you contacting your local helpdesk or admins to be sure you're using the correct settings.

2 step verification settings for outgoing MAIL SMTP for GMail

and i am in the outgoing SMTP > ADVANCED section of mail where i have an iCloud, GMail and domain based email SMTP addresses.
does anyone know if i set up a SMTP server for Mac Mail as having an authentication set to "none" or set to "password" for GMAIL and whether this password should be one of these online generated 2 step verification passwords?
i seem to have this account on sparrow with no problems at all but i am noticing that GMail mail is not showing up on either of my mac mail installations on either of my machines

Hi Hotwheels
had similar issues. But incoming worked fine immediately, only outgoing was an issue.
(Though on iPad + iPhone both in- and out-going mails worked fine.)
I generated a password via Google only ONCE for may Mail app. And I entered it only ONCE in the settings. No other changes done.
So on the Mail application, I saw e-mails coming in. My outgoing e-mail stayed in my "outbox".
I just switched to another outgoing server. In my case, when I opened the advanced settings, a popup screen showed up with a number (approx 10) outgoing servers, all named exactly the same: "Gmail" ;-)
The one that was selected had the message "off-line" behind it and so were a couple of others.
As soon as I picked one that was apparently on-line, the mails in my outbox were send within seconds ...
So problem solved without actually really changing settings or entering paswords.
Hope this helps

Aliases not displayed for outgoing mail choice

Since the birth of Mobile Me, my Mail OS X aliases are not available for new outgoing mail. I can choose them on Mobile Me, but not on my own laptop Mail.

Hi,
I've got the same problem myself! But I've been upgraded to 10.4.11 for a long time now, so that's not the easy solution for me!
I use Mail for my .mac/.me account. I use a few different .mac aliases for different groups I correspond with.
When composing a message in Mail, I am no longer getting the "From" pulldown menu near the address fields to let me select which alias I want to send the message from. It just defaults to my primary address. Even when a message is sent to me at one of the aliases and I reply to it, Mail ignores the alias and makes the new message come from my primary address instead.
When I choose "customize" from the pulldown menu near the address fields, it gives me all the other options (To, cc, bcc, etc.) but nothing to get the "From" menu back.
I can still do this from the web interface for my .me account, but I don't want to have to go to the slow and clunky web app just for this simple thing.
Btw, I tried the ol' restart the computer trick, just in case. Still have the problem.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Rick

Mail: other smtp options for outgoing mail?

I'm sure many of you have switched over to the iPhone from a Blackberry so you'll know what I'm about to talk about. How do I change the "from" field of any outgoing mail? When you setup a mail account on a Blackberry you only need an email account, username and passwd. I'm not sure but I think Blackberry uses the same smtp for all outgoing mail and just changes the "from" field of the message to match your account right? You don't enter any type of smtp or pop3 information when you set up a Blackberry.
Here's the problem: School email is set as an imap server but there is no internet smtp server, only an intranet available smtp. If your on campus you can use the campus smtp but if your not you need an external smtp. Setting this up on a Blackberry is as simple as email, user and passwd. (there are no server settings) On the iPhone you need server settings but there is no smtp server available! Putting in a gmail or yahoo server will work but then your sending from that smtp and any replies go to that account. I need to be able to send through the gmail or yahoo or whatever smtp and still let the recipient reply to my school account. Anyone got a work around for this?

Mail won't use designated server for outgoing mail

My G4 abruptly started having problems sending mail through the bellsouth.net server. Even though the Mail preferences appear correctly set (I've been using them for several years and haven't changed any Mail settings), the problems started this past week.
I have two hunches: 1) the latest Security Update caused something to go wrong. 2) something happened when I traveled recently and used my primary drive (an external HD) with my host's iMac.
I have run Cocktail, Disk Warrior, rebuilt whatis, whois, locate databases.
Mail continues to try to use the .mac server for all my bellsouth.net outgoing mail; when the popdown warning appears stating that my message will not go through as addressed, the bellsouth server does not appear as one of the choices I could send the mail through. . .I'm baffled.
I dread calling Bellsouth tech support; they are generally blithering i*ts and not worth wasting my time on. They almost always refer me back for Mac support any time there's a problem.
Anyone want to take a crack at this? Thanks for your help.

my bellsouth.net outgoing mail
Not sure what you mean. Is it that Mail has problems using BellSouth's outgoing server, then asks you to choose another server and gives .Mac as the only choice? Or is it that Mail tries to use .Mac right away? Is BellSouth your ISP?
Mail keeps information about outgoing servers in a separate list, independently of any specific mail account. The account settings just associate one of the available outgoing servers with each account. Orphaned or dangling outgoing server entries (i.e. not associated with any account) sometimes cause sending problems.
Go to Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP), choose Edit Server List from the popup menu, and delete any servers that shouldn't be there (if any). The Edit Server List panel shows the account each outgoing server is associated with.
Also, please update your My Settings's profile (and click Save), so that it accurately displays the version of Mac OS X you're using.

Mail one one computer (but not in another) rejects passwords for outgoing mail. Once it functioned.

I have an iMAC (2007) and a MacbookPro (more recent). The iMAC's updated Mail keeps rejecting my outgoing mail, although I have checked passwords and reinstalled accounts. Incoming mail is OK. The problem occurred in the Macbook, but the problem is far less acute. A formum suggestion was to go into Library/Mail... but when I go into Library, there is no item Mail. Although my location is Italy, the Library is all in English, so i do not think there is a linguistic problem involved. In your answer, imagine I am an adolescent (and not 72 as is really the case) and kindly be explicit. ... with thanks in advance.

Hi DSfromMO2,
I have this happening to me too... it is frustrating enough for me to pitch my computer out the 4th floor office window. I found somewhere on these forums a solution which worked for me, but only for a short time. I'm back to having this stupid glitch. Anyway, the "temporary" solution seems to be to boot into Safe Mode by holding the Shift button down when you hear the startup chime, then let go when you see the Apple logo on the screen. You'll see you've done it right because it'll say Safe Mode somewhere on screen (upper right hand corner?). Restart again normally and your Mail should be free from these weird demons, but they'll be back.

Using mail for outgoing mail only?

I am trying to set up mail with a work email that does not bring in mail, but I can send out using our email. We have a system in place at the moment where all emails come in through the front reception and then gets distributed internally depending on where it needs to go. I dont want to bypass this, but I do want to be able to send email and not have to use the webmail from our provider to do this.
I have tried leaving the "incoming server" blank, but it does not let me proceed without information there. Even tried making a fake one to see if that works, but it doesnt.
Any tips on how to do this? Is this even possible?
Thanks

What SMTP do you wish to send with? If using the SMTP of your ISP, typically you can simply add the work email address as a second email address in a POP account provided by your ISP -- see:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/3.0/en/9973.html
However, some SMTP such as that provided by Gmail will change the Reply To header to the Gmail address, and others such as that for MobileMe will not accept non-MobileMe from addresses. But the one from most ISPs will.
You can also set up an account manually, skipping the Account Setup Assistant, take the account Offline (and not include when checking for new mail), and it will still send, assuming you have a SMTP to use with it. To skip the account setup assistant, hold down the Option key when clicking the "+" to add an account. By this path Mail will not actually force the check connection to the Incoming Server

Sender check for outgoing mail

Hi,
I want to enabled sender check on all outgoing mail. i.e ironport should check if the from address is listed in my ldap.
This is required because spammer is sending mails by compromising legitimate users credentials and sending mail through out setup.
all the spam mails which are quarantine on ironport are having invalid from addresses.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
HOmesh

Deploying SPF (Sender Policy Framework) might decrease such incoming mail traffic using your email domain namespace as forged senders in SMTP envelopes.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework
To deploy SPF using it's most strictiest policy, you must be able to declare legimate sources where the mail from your domain can be originated from. Ip source addresses, netblocks, FQDN names, reverse domains, etc.
If you have one singe (or clustered) C-series mail router in DMZ and all the mail traffic from @yourdomain.com can be routed outbound fvia these C-series boxes only, then you can setup your SPF records that way, that only your C-series box(es) are legimate mail sources.
If you use RFC 1918 private addressing internally, that's it.
If you use public, routable ip addressing internally, you might need to add that network into your SPF record, but it depends how the mail traffic is routed there.
The configure your Ironport C-series appliances using SPF. If you have inbound forged mail coming in and if the source ip addr of SMTP peer is not listed in your SPF records and if you use strictiest SPF policy, your C-series appliance will reject these inbound connections.
