Sending attachments with Netzero as SMTP server

Since upgrading to Leopard last November, I have been unable to send emails with attachments. Email is received, with or without attachments, with no problem. Text emails can be sent with no problems. Netzero is the ISP, and is set as the outgoing SMTP server. Attachments were no problem with Tiger. I have also tried using gmail as the outgoing SMTP server, to no avail. I installed Thunderbird, and have the same result. I've contacted Netzero, and cannot get a definite response. I have also tried using the Mac dial-up software to by-pass Netzero but am able to send or receive with Mail.
Is anyone able to send attachments to emails while using Netzero as the SMTP server? If so, I'd certainly appreciate advise, and I'd know that it's my problem somewhere. Thanks!

Sammie - I have not been able to solve this frustrating problem
yet....I have exchanged emails with Netzero, and they say the are
"working on the problem". I have also posted information as feedback
to Apple, at http://www.apple.com/feedback, which you may wish to do
also.
I have two work-arounds, as you may have seen in some of my posts at
the discussion forums. If you haven't seen them, they are:
First, you can use a webmail service...for instance, you can compose
mail from your NetZero account (or gmail, for example), and upload
your attachments before sending. This is slow, but works. Secondly, you can
make a new, small (e.g., 25GB) partition on your Leopard disk, and
install Tiger on that partition. I then drag and drop attachments
into this partition from my Leopard disk, then restart on the Tiger
disk. I am then able to use the Tiger Mail application to compose and send the
message for me. This is cumbersome, but it does work, and I don't have to change providers.
I'm glad to see that were not alone, though! Please let me know if you are able to figure this out...I'll keep you posted as well. Bill

Sending attachments with emails in Javamail

I'm trying to send attachments with emails using Javamail. Following is the code through which I'm trying to achieve that. It works as expected on a JRE1.6 environment. But on JRE1.5, the content of the file gets added to the mail body as text.I want the file to be sent as an attachment.
Any pointers on the observed difference in behavior would be highly appreciated!
String msgText = mailInfo.getMessage();
        String attachmentFileName = mailInfo.getFileName();
        MimeBodyPart mimeBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
        mimeBodyPart.setText(msgText);
        // create the second message part
        MimeBodyPart attachmentBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
        // attach the file to the message
        FileDataSource fileDataSource = new FileDataSource(attachmentFileName);
        attachmentBodyPart.setFileName(fileDataSource.getName());
        attachmentBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(fileDataSource));
        // create the Multipart and add its parts to it
        Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart();
        multipart.addBodyPart(mimeBodyPart);
        multipart.addBodyPart(attachmentBodyPart);
        message.setContent(multipart);The email in case of JRE1.5 is as follows

Can not send attachments with emails on Me and aol Imap??

Hi Kursten, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Have you tried Port 587 instead of 25 for the .me account anyway?
Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Outgoing SMTP>Server Settings...

Can't send mail, get message: the smtp server rejected the password. I tried lock and unlock keychain. I tried unlock captcha. Gmail works okay, it is Mail that does not. Help!! :(

Hi
You need to check with your ISP whether or not the send mail server (SMTP) requires a password. Some do, but many do not. When you know the correct password to send mail, then you need to tell Mail as follows:
Mail menu > Preferences > Accounts > Select the account
Click on the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) combo box, and select Edit SMTP Server List...
In the Account Information tab put the server name
In the Advanced Tab, set up the authentication information from your ISP.
Good luck

Send iCloud email from alternative smtp server?

How do I send iCloud email from alternative smtp server? The setting is 'greyed out' on my iPhone so I cannot tell iCloud to use another server.
The reason is so I can have my outgoing email appear from my own domain email address rather than my me.com address. Mobileme would allow this - and Mail on the Mac does allow it, but the iPhone under iOS 5 seems not to allow it....
Any ideas?

I have spent about 4-6 hours working directly with folks from Tim Cooke's office, various support levels, and through them their engineers.
As much as I tried to convince them their logic is flawed, the engineers for iCloud come back and say this is expected behavior because somehow it helps secure iCloud from being a spam source. The fine and helpful gentleman from Cooke's office now understands how it is a MobileMail.app client issue, having nothing to do with iCloud servers (because we are in fact trying to bypass their servers) still totes the "it's expected behavior" line from the server engineers.
I have implored him to follow up with the iOS MobileMail app programmers and not the iCloud programmers. I am hopeful he will. Until then you have to choose between having iCloud push and losing your online identity, or losing push email and keeping your preferred address.
Fun to try: turn off all smtp servers. Send email. Gets stuck in outbox. Turn on your preferred smtp server. That one email will use your preferred alternate address, but subsequent ones revert back to the old .me.com smtp servers. Personally I believe this points to a client programming error more than reinstating a preferred behavior. Aggravating!
I spend $500 on a new phone. Google takes away my exchange client ability and apple makes me choose push email vs outgoing email address.

I can't send attachments with Thunderbird?

I can't send attachments with Thunderbird. I can write a message but when I click on Attach, I get the message "Thunderbird has stopped working. A problem has caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." There is only a "CLOSE PROGRAM" button displayed and when I click on it Thunderbird stops running. I'm not sure whether this is a Thunderbird problem or a Windows 7 problem. Any ideas on what is causing this and how to fix it?

Try to start Thunderbird in safe mode.

Sending Mail to a Comcast SMTP server

Have a MAC PRO and MacBook Pro on the same network both running OS 10.8.2 with two identical email accounts having identical settings. MAC PRO email accounts work as expected; able to send and receive emails. However on the MacBook PRO, unable to send emails from either account, only receive emails. I have the same email problem when using the MacBook PRO on different networks, like a Hotel.
Consistently get an error message stating “the sender address [email protected] was rejected by the server smtp.comcast.net.”
Tried deleting the accounts, restarting and entering new accounts; reinstalled OS 10.8.2; but no difference in the problem.
Worked with several layers of Comcast support, trying all sorts of Port and SSL settings, and confirmed my password works on Comcast webmail, but cannot determine why I cannot send email from one Apple computer when the other Apple computer works as expected. All they could do is blame Apple.
What is different about the MAC PRO (early 1998) and the MAC PRO (15-inch Late 2011}?

What was the SMTP error?
Comcast has messed up their outgoing server somehow. I got a message about "The sender address [email protected]" was rejected by the server smtp.comcast.net." This of course is absurd, since YOUR E-mail address has nothing to do with sending mail.
If that's the problem, you're going to have to call Comcast and repeatedly escalate the case until you can find someone with even a basic understanding of how E-mail works. I had to get a "supervisor" involved, and this person was still so ignorant that she had to call me back the next day after "researching" the problem and still proposing asinine attempts to resolve it. And it never did get fixed, by the time I left the location at which I needed to use Comcast.
You need to insist that your reply-to address is irrelevant for sending E-mail. If you're connected directly to Comcast's network (which you are when you're connected through your cable modem), you should be able to send through their SMTP server. Period. That's how Time-Warner and Verizon work, for example. The first thing you're going to hear is "Well, you're not using your Comcast E-mail account." IRRELEVANT. And why would anyone use the obscure Comcast-assigned E-mail address in 2013?
Good luck.

JavaMail configuration with gmail as SMTP server

Hello,
I am trying to implement component based alerting in our new SAP PO 7.31 landscape. I have configured the steps according to the blog of Michel the necessary steps.
I am planning to use GMAIL SMTP server and hence trying to configure the parameters for the same. However in the Java Schduler Logs i could see exception TLS excpetion.
I tried configuring mail.smtp.host as smtp.gmail.com with my gmail credentials. Also i tried giving mail.smtps.host as smtp.gmail.com but no luck.
Please let me know incase anyone had implemented this scenario. Also please let me know whether it is possible to get the WSDL of the CMBA alert that gets raised.
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Trouble sending attachments with Mail 7.0

I just upgraded to Mavericks and I just started using Mail 7.0 to manage my email (switching from Outlook 2011 for Mac). I'm using an early 2008 Mac Pro. I'm having trouble sending emails with attachments through Mail 7.0. Any attachment regardless of file type or size doesn't go through on the first try. I compose my email, hit send and then after sitting in the outbox for a minute or two I get this error message...
I then click on "Try With Selected Server" and sometimes it will send after that and sometimes it won't. File size doesn't seem to matter. I switch back to Outlook and all attachments send just fine. Outlook has its own bugs (that's why I'm trying to switch to Mail) so I'm trying to make Mail my email app.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Let me know if you need any more info. NOTE: I'm not an IT person so please try to dumb down your answers to a first grade level.

I am also having the exact same issue only with exchange emails that have attachments... funny thing is the problem only persistis on my MacBook not on my Imac. Both running Mavericks, set up identically and both totally up to date. I will on occacsion get the can't send mail error on the imac but after I click try again it goes through... on the MacBook I'm not so lucky and end up having to email people dropbox links to every darn file I want to send from my laptop. Talk about a pain in the butt. Apple please address and fix.
btw the unchecking auto discovery trick didn't make any difference for me
thanks for bringin this up

1. You need an external DVD drive.
2. There are no Mac OS X applications or other software in the iTunes App Store.

Several Mail Accounts with the same smtp server

Let’s assume, you have several accounts but however, you need to login to the same smtp server with different credentials (once with [email protected] and once with [email protected] – authentication on smtp servers is used to prevent spam): This works smooth on every mailbin on your apple/pc.
Try to import your settings with itunes to iphone and everything crashes. Iphone is unable to distinguish accounts on imported smtp servers – you can’t set individual passwords this way.
Work around: Create the accounts manually on iphone.

Ameya,
Have a look at your existing DAD configuration, it should be fairly obvious what you need to do to point at another instance.

Why can't I send emails from my Macbook Pro. A window pops up saying this: Sending the message content to the server failed. The server response was: An error occurred while sending this message using the SMTP server "(null)"

This is starting to REALLY frustrate me! I used to be able to send emails with attachments perfectly fine with my email, and now all of a sudden it won't work. I work from home, and 8/10 my emails need to have images in them. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!

Contact your internet service provider. They can run some tests to verify the cause of the problem. This sounds very much like an ISP issue.

Sending attachments with email from iPad

Can I send attachments, such as a pages file, when I send an email from my iPad?
Thanks for your help

If you want to send photos, you can do it two ways:
1. From Photos, tap the rectangle with the curved arrow, then tap the photos you want to send, then tap the Share button to create a new mail message.
2. From an already created mail message, do a copy-paste from Photos to include photos in the mail message.
Other apps are a little different. You can always copy-paste but that may get cumbersome.
