Sending mail from user accounts

I have recently switched from dial-up to broadband communications. My eMac has three user areas - my ‘system manager’ area plus two others.
The problem is that the two sub-area users can no longer send e-mail messages. The error message is “mail.btinternet.com:<user name>@btinternet.com cannot be contacted on port 25” .
I can only send mail via mailout.btinternet.com from the main account.
All areas receive mail OK.
Dial-up ISP is macunlimited.net
Broadband ISP is btinternet.com
I have read the relevant Help section and believe I have set up the two mail accounts in each sub-account correctly.
Software on this Mac are OS: 10.4.3 and Mail 2.0.5

Chris,
This is very helpful, but I would never have understood that different User Accounts were being used on your Mac from the previous terminology.
Let me approach when you are connected with btinternet acting as your ISP, first. It is normal, and not unusual, for the authentication of the SMTP to depend upon the primary email address they assign you -- this is probably your address, and with it you can probably change all the other addresses -- correct?
Thus because you are using different User Accounts, when you wife or son is attempting to send, they do not have the benefit of your Username authenticating the SMTP (as would be the case if all three addresses are in use within one User Account and Mail at the same time). The following suggestion being successful will depend upon the exact method and policies of authentication used btinternet, but have your wife and/or your son to authenticate the OUTGOING server using the same entry for Username as you enter in Mail Preferences for your account.
The same could be true for your dial-up ISP -- when you are unable to send with the SMTP for macunlimited.net, are you in fact connected via dial-up? If you are connected by dial-up and your account with macunlimited.net is the master or primary account, then I do not yet know why you cannot send.
I hope this makes sense, and is not overly complicated.

lots of people seem to be havgin a problem sending email from iCloud webmail.
does your email address have uppercase characters in it?
if so, try creating an alias in lowercase (go to preferences in iCloud webmail and select 'accounts') and see if email sends okay from that

I have to agree with you , I too was disappointed to see that with IOS 4 on my iphone I still cant send from an alias. This is a feature thats available with the .me web access so why not the iphone mail app? If they can't do it, then at least let me be able to use .me via safari on the iphone and ipad.

Cannot send mail from .mac account in Entourage

I am a new mac user so my troubleshooting skills are very weak. Until about one week ago, i was able to send mail from both my hotmail account and my .mac account. Now, i get this error (just on my .mac account):
An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic.
i read through much of the support articles, but did not find my specific error. can anyone help??
thank you

it may be that your server (internet provider) has just started blocking outgoing mails not authenticated by them.
Go to your account set up...
and fill in the following details.
SMTP SERVER: smtp.mac.com
then click on advanced sending otions...
click on override default SMTP port... type 587
click on SMTP servber requires authentication...
use same setting as receiving mail server.
try this...

I want to bcc myself when sending mail from one account but not another. When I check "automatically bcc myself", it bcc's me from both accounts. Can I set this to work with only one account?

I have two mail accounts on my Mac. I want one account to bcc me when I send emails from that account. I checked "automatically bcc myself" under mail>preferences>composing, but both accounts bcc me when sending mail. Can I set this to only bcc myself from one specific email account? Thanks.

It does not make sense that your ssh does not have a dash capital Y (-Y) option. It is in "man ssh", and my 10.6.6 has the -Y option, and I've had a -Y option since at least Tiger (10.4) days.
My ssh is in /usr/bin/ssh
I'm not very good at X11 issues, so I'm just throwing ideas out there.
Does your broken account have a $HOME/.ssh/config file, and if so, what is in it?
Does the broken account have any $HOME/.x* or $HOME/.X* files that X11 might be reading to configure your X11 behavior differently from the new test account?
$HOME/.Xauthority
$HOME/.Xdefaults-<hostname>
$HOME/.Xresources
$HOME/.ICEauthority
$HOME/.keymap.km
The above are a few names I found looking through "man X"
While I'm thinking about it, I assume that when going to the server, you are using the exact same user account on the server, so that you have a constant at least at that end.
Have you tried trashing your
$HOME/Library/Preferences/org.x.X11.plist
file, to see if that is affecting the broken account?
Again, I am just throwing out ideas to see if anything sticks.

Unable to send Mail from POP account

I have an Iphone 4 and have upgraded the IOS from 5-1 to 6.1.3. Since then I have been receiving all my mails but i have been unable to send mails from my POP account. the notification "Cannot Send Mail. A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The receipient, "xxyyzz @ gmail . com " was rejected by the server" displayed. Please Help. the same thing happens when I configure my POP account on my Son's Iphone4, and there is no problem in receiving and sending mails from my Outlook. Please Help!!!!!
Can i revert back to IOS5.1.1?????

Contact your email provider and get the correct settings to use for the outgoing mail server (SMTP) on a mobile device. If it's email provided by your ISP, they have likely blocked email from outside their network from relaying to prevent spam.

How do I specify the gmail outgoing server if I have multiple gmail accounts in my mail? I have 2 business accounts and when I send mail from one account, it is sent from the other account and the sending email is not from the correct account.

I love my apple email and do not want to use google mail on safari. However, I have 2 gmail accounts set up on apple mail, but when I send mail from one of my gmail accounts (I choose the specific gmail account in the drop down window), it actually goes out as if it is from the other gmail account. I can't have that happen because one is my job, the other is a personal business account and unfortunately, the mail from both gmail accounts want to send through the personal business account. How do I make it send from a specific gmail account? I even tried deleting the accounts and setting them up again hoping I set it up wrong in the first place, but to no avail, it is still doing the same thing except this time I set the job account up first and then the personal business account and now everything goes from the job account! The only good thing is that the incoming messages work properly and they go into the correct inbox. Somebody please fix my outbox!

In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account. The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

Will not send mail from new account

(I don't see a category for "mail" program on the discussions.)
I have a new account, but cannot get it to send mail from it. I get the message to try a different server, but no server works.
Thanks

Hi Mimi,
I reported your topic to have it moved to the Mac OS X v10.3 & earlier > Mail & Address Book forum.
It should be moved shortly.
In the meantime, it would help if you could post back with which OS version you are using (ie. OSX 10.3.9 ?) and who your ISP is (Internet Service Provider).

Cant send mail from 1 account

I have 3 mail accounts on my powerbook, one is bellsouth. When I try to send mail from the bellsouth account, it tells me it can't use the selected server. Bellsouth won't let me use other servers ( including .mac accounts) so if I have to send mail when I'm connected via bellsouth I have to use that account. I'm able to send via bellsouth from my other notebok ( windows) so the problem has to be on the powerbook somewhere. I've deleted the account from mail, and re-added it a few times, all to no avail.
any suggestsion would be greatly appreciated!
I'm running the latest build of Tiger.

changed the port to 25, everything working fine now.

Mail 10.8.3 not sending mail from intended account

Since upgrading from 10.8.2 to 10.8.3, my wife is having a new problem where Mail is not sending mail from the intended account.
She has 2 mail acocunts, and normally sends most e-mail from one of them. That mail account is set as the default to send messages from.
Now when she composes messages, it sends them from the other account, even if she has made certain that the pull-down choice of "send message as..." is set to the correct/desired mail account.
The only way she was able to stop this was to deactivate the other e-mail account in Mail's preferences.
Is anyone else having this problem?

Hi.
Please click on the Mail > Prefrence > Account.
then click on the first account on the left side & Uncheck the option 'Use onlythis server'
repeat the step for the second account aswell.
this should fix your issue.
Kind regards,
Ayaz

I-Pod touch will only send mail from defualt account.

I have a 4th gerneration I-pod touch. I always keep it updated.
I'm having trouble with the e-mail. It will only send mail from the default e-mail account. If I go to the "From" line on an outgoing e-mail and select another e-mail address it doesn't make a difference. It will still send the message from the default account even though the alternate e-mail was listed in the "From" line.
Please help,
LJ

Can no longer send mail from exchange account

My send mail icon is now greyed out and I can no longer send mail. The only thing that I have done that I never do is I selected the "synchronize" option on the mailbox name after right clicking on it last night.
As far as Mail goes, I attempted to set up a MediaCom email box several days ago that never worked correctly, but I changed no settings on the exchange account and it was working great 24 hours ago. I've deleted the MediaCom email box.
Tried the usual quitting, rebooting but nothing is working, any ideas why this started and how to fix.

It is possible the Evil Starbucks empire has blocked SMTP sending as an antispam measure. You would need to log in to your email server using the smtpauth protocol. For example, Earthlink has an smtpauth.earthlink.net server for secure sending, which I was able to use sending from any public AP. Possibly T-Mobile has a similar authorized server.
But nowadays I just use Gmail, they make it easy and reliable to send from anywhere because they use a custom smtp port. Yeah, Gmail solved a multitude of problems with mobile sending.

Receive & send mail from different accounts

How do I receive mail from my Gmail account and send from another account?
I have the incoming server as an IMAP and it works fine. The outgoing mail server is the problem. It's set up as a different username and everything, and it STILL sends it through my GMail account. I deleted the outgoing smtp gmail server with no success. What should I do?
Thanks!

I think it depends on your operating system.
You can test it by using java.net.Socket to create a bunch of
connections to the same host and port, close them, and then
see what your operating system shows. If you get the same
behavior there, it's an OS problem, or perhaps just the way
the OS works. You might want to check with a networking expert.
