Sending email in one account, triggers a password request from another

I have several email accounts operating in MAIL. I have recently noticed that when I send an email in one account, a second account pops up and requests a password. I used to type in the password, but then I thought: has a nasty virus infected my system and somehow, whenever I send emails, they are also secretly being sent somewhere else via this second password-seeking account.
There is nothing in the Outbox for the second account, so I'd like to find out what is going on. Is this an indication of a virus, or has MAIL gone haywire?
I can get around the problem by clicking OK to the password request from the second account (but not having typed anything in), which sends me to a window asking me if I want to use another account to send the email. I select the first account (the one I actually want to use), it asks me for the password, and away it goes.
Thanks in advance for any comments.

Guy,
You need to provide us with some additional info about the SMTP you are using as the Outgoing Server for each account, and what, if any, relationship that SMTP has to both accounts. The use of the SMTP provided by your ISP, for example, if Authenticated either by Password or by SMTP after POP3 methods, can trigger a password prompt that looks the same as that for the Incoming server of an account provided by that ISP.
More info, please.

Outlook 2011: Can't send emails with one account?

Hi,
I can't send any emails with one of my accounts on outlook 2011 even though I can receive emails. To clarify, I've never been able to send any emails from this account with Outlook 2011; I always have to go on the internet to do that. My main account works
fine, though. I don't really know much about email accounts. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks

Hi,
I think Clark's advice is leading you to the correct direction, but since I don't have Outlook 2011, if the problem persists, I suggest you post the question to Office for Mac forum:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It's probably quite simple, and nothing to do with your Address Book group.
It is a matter of 'junk mail' or 'spam' filtering on the recipient end, I think.
1. Apparently not everyone in your Address Book group (12 of 15 apparently?) has your current email address among their 'permitted email addresses', so, your original email message ends up in their 'junk mail' or 'spam filter' or whatever it is called by their email provider. Some businesses and schools also filter incoming messages for subject, language, content, or by sender's address (one company I dealt with prohibited all incoming email from Hotmail, for example), so it could be filtered at that level. In that case, the recipient might have to specifically ask the IT department to add your email address to a 'permitted' list.
2. When someone else in the group hits 'reply all', THEIR email address IS among the 'permitted email addresses' for everyone else, and they are in effect 'forwarding' your message from their email address, so the filtering affecting your email address does not affect their re-sending of your message.

HT1694 Can't send emails through Hotmail account

This just started. I can receive emails, but can't send emails through Hotmail account. iPhone says I need to check my settings (password). I have correct password in settings. Any help?

Hello reedstrom,
Sorry to hear you are not able to send emails from your Hotmail account. Sending emails is a very important feature of the iPhone, and the fourth section in the following tutorial has steps for checking your Outgoing Mail Server settings.

I hope this helps!

Sending email since updating. I get password not correct. Won't send unless I go to outbox and send again. HELP!

Hey Horse farm,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues sending mail on your iPad. The following resource may provide a solution, specifically deleting and re-adding the account:
iOS: Troubleshooting Mail
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3899
Try these basic troubleshooting steps first
1. Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage (try any webpage). If you can load a webpage, then your device has Internet access. If you are unable to load a webpage,follow these troubleshooting steps.
          - Try to use an alternate Internet connection if available:
                    1. Try a different Wi-Fi connection
                    2. If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, tap Settings > Wi-Fiand turn off Wi-Fi.
                    3. If the affected email account is provided by your Internet provider, see if your issue is resolved while connected to your home Wi-Fi network.*
2. Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
3. Restart your iOS device.
4. Delete the affected email account from your device.
          - Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
          - Choose the affected email account, then tap Delete Account.
          - Add your account again.
* If you are only able to use your email account while connected to your home network, this may be a limitation put in place by your email service provider. For further support, please contact your email service provider directly.
Thanks,
Matt M.

TS4002 I cant send email via icloud account. I have a BT router for vision. Can anyone help please

I cant send email via icloud account. I have a BT router for vision

Thanks for the suggestion - it turned out that it was actually my workplace's network that automatically blocks external SMTP servers (for some security reason), so the email(s) sent perfectly once I went home and connected to May home network. Annoying!

Why all of a sudden will my iPad not send emails to one specific address at work but still works to everyone else? just keeps saying "failure to send"

Why all of a sudden will my iPad not send emails to one specific address at work but still work to everyone else at work?

Contact the person by telecon. Their email address may have changed.

Since installing Microsoft two step verification for my Outlook account via my PC I can no longer send emails on this account on my iPad. How can I rectify this?

Since installing Microsoft two step verification on my Outlook Account via my PC (Acer) I am unable to send emails on my iPad. I can neither remove two step verification or find a way to solve this. I would prefer to keep this email account as my prime one.

You will probably need to create an app password for the Outlook account for use on the iPad...

Can't send emails using .mac accounts? Finally the solution!!! Nice & Easy!

Found this after searching these discussions for over an hour, and it really works, but you MUST create a new account, don't edit your existing one. Very quick & easy!!! Here you go, courtesy of Guillermo Toro-Lira:
OK guys, problem solved, at least for those with a dotMac account like me.
You have to create a new MobileMe account in your iPhone using your new MobileMe email address ( [email protected] instead of [email protected] ).
Select Add Account... on Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Then MobileMe, enter your name, MobileMe address, password and description and select Save. The system will validate your account first. Then go back to Accounts, select your dotMac account and select delete. Your new mails, contacts, calendars will be sync'd by your new MobileMe account.
It looks like iPhone classic 2.0 requires your new MobileMe address ([email protected]) to send emails.

I accessed my .Mac account with the iPhone's mail client with my first generation iPhone for over a year including for a while after the change to MM before I purchased my iPhone 3G.
The first generation iPhone and the iPhone 3G are capable of running the same firmware so there is no difference between the two in this regard. To say the first generation iPhone requires creating and accessing the @Me account instead of the @Mac account is incorrect.
If this is true with many, how come not a single person has chimed in with this thread saying the same thing?

Cannot send email in primary account

I don't even have a gmail account set up on my phone...
Input appreciated

IPhone cannot send email using Yahoo account. iPhone no envia correo Yahoo.

Hi Everyone,
I just got my iPhone from Movistar Venezuela and I've found I'm unable to send email using my Yahoo account. However, I can receive Yahoo email just fine (paid $20 for Mail Plus subscription), my GMail account can send and receive perfectly, and I can go surfin' Safari with no problems too.
The error message I get is "Cannot send mail: an error occurred while delivering this message". I called Movistar Customer Support and they said everything was fine on their end...
In typical Apple fashion, the error message is so simple I have no idea where the problem is. Does anyone know how can I get more information and how to solve this annoying problem? My Yahoo account is actually my primary account...
Thanks in advance!
Saludos a todos,
Acabo de comprarme un iPhone de Movistar en Venezuela y me encuentro sin poder enviar emails con mi cuenta Yahoo. Sin embargo, si puedo recibir correo Yahoo bien (pague $20 por mi suscripcion a Mail Plus), mi cuenta de GMail si puede enviar y recibir email sin problema y puedo navergar con Safari sin ningun problema.
El mensaje de error que recibo es el siguiente": "No se puede enviar correo: se ha producido un error al enviar el mensaje". Llame a Atencion al Cliente de Movistar y me dijeron que no habia ningun problema con mi linea o con su servicio de datos...
Como tipica cosa Apple, el mensaje de error es tan simple que no tengo NI IDEA de cual es el problema. Alguien mas ha sufrido este problema? Sabe alguien como puedo obtener mas informacion de este error y como solucionarlo? Lamentablemente, mi cuenta Yahoo es mi correo principal...
Gracias de antemano!

Creo que resolvi el problema, temporalmente.
1) Borra tu cuenta
2) Vuelvela a crear
3) Ve a Ajustes
4) Ve a Mail Contactos Calendarios
5) Ve a la cuenta problematica
6) Ve a SMTP
7) Anadir nuevo
8)

I think I solved the issue, temporarily at least
1) Delete account
2) Create again
3) Go to settings
4) Go to Mail, Contacts, Calendars
5) Open problematic account
6) Go to SMTP
7) Add a new server

Outlook 2013 - User cannot send email to one person

One of our users got a new computer and is running Outlook 2013. They can send emails with no trouble, except to one of our other users. It always
gets rejected and the sender gets an email telling them the one they tried to send was undeliverable. She's running Windows 8.1.
1. Both the sender and the receiver are using Exchange accounts
2. Both computers are on the same network, but neither are on a domain.
3. Error message: The e-mail address you entered couldn't be found. Please check the recipient's e-mail address and try to resend the message. If the problem continues, please contact your helpdesk.

Hi,
How does the user fill the "To" field in a new message? If she fill it via auto-complete cache, please try to delete the auto-complete cache entry via clicking the "X" icon and then type the email address in the "To" filed. Send the email and check
if this issue continues.

Cannot send email to one particular address

I've lost the ability to send emails to my work email address, it seems to have stopped working in the last 30 days or so. I can receive emails from the work address to my personal address, but sending from the personal address to work doesn't work. The emails are not returned as undeliverable. I have Verizon FIOS as my provider, I have tried sending email to my work address from their web email interface and it works fine, so the problem lies in Thunderbird. Anyone have an idea what has happened? I'm not having an issue sending or receiving to any other address.

''Matt [[#answer-667247|said]]''
<blockquote>
It is just a shame Verizon employ support that is not.
Sending from Thunderbird uses a completely different set of protocols and procedures to web mail.
Sending from Thunderbird is analogous to sending snail mail by dropping it in a pillar box in your street corner. Sending using web mail is more like going to the local mail sorting house and dropping the mail into the truck delivering to the city your sent your mail to.
In my analogy there is one huge difference, your anti virus program does not scan outgoing web mails, it does not even see them as mails. The same goes for incoming mail.
So when support people start blaming outlook or Thunderbird and saying it must be the problem, what they are really saying is they actually know nothing more about mail than you do, they have arrived at the end of their script and your have no resolution, so please go away.
We try to do a little better here, but sometimes we can't. Verizon have access to the outgoing servers, they could tell you if your mail ever actually leaves their system, we can only guess.
So what is the mail server your sending to? Is the outgoing mail address your work one?
When you right click on the account name in the folder tree and select settings. On the bottom right is the outgoing SMTP server for the account. Is it what your think it is?
</blockquote>
The outgoing mail address is to my work email, it's @us.ibm.com, I checked the SMTP server name, it is outgoing.verizon.net which is correct.
You're right about Verizon support, once I was able to send via their web interface, they were pretty much done with me....and I pay for that support too...
This is probably going to end up being something simple, at least i hope so, but at the moment it's very frustrating...

Sending emails by Hotmail account via Mail app

Hi,
i just changed my old HTTPMail application on mail to continue to receive and send emails from my @hotmail.com account, as it was no longer functionning.
It's now configured, i receive emails correctly, but can't send any.
i configured it with the output adress smtp.live.com and checked the SSL box without specifiyng any username and pass, all that in the preferences of Mail app.
Is there any way to send email by Hotmail, or is there something in the POP/IMAP difference that i ain't gettin and make it impossible?
The "via Gmail" option wouldn't be one for me. i still wanna use hotmail.
thanks,
Phil

This could be an even simpler way to do it:

Are you setting up the password in the outgoing mail server?
