Hi,
I use internet connection from a local ISP with whom i
do not have email signup, nor i know their mail server
details or name, but i would like to send mail to a
account on hotmail or yahoo but i don't know their email
server info either, so what i should do?You can use softwares like PostCast Server(www.postcastserver.com/)
which is a free SMTP mail server program which enables you to send
e-mail directly from your computer, without your Internet Service Provider's server.
Other way, you can make use of free SMTP servers (a list of free
SMTP servers is available at http://www.thebestfree.net/free/freesmtp.htm) to send mails.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck.

Sending mail help needed

Howdy, just got the iPad, and cannot send emails to myself (my home computer) on wifi, also, will need to do this on any wifi network, any suggestions/help? thanks

Hello, and thanks, what I did when I got the iPad was to sync, and during syncing it asked me if I wanted to use a previous iPad account, apparently it was confusing an iPhone account with the iPad insofar as I had inadvertently downloaded an iPad app by mistake a month ago. I let it use that account, and made some changes on the fly regarding various setlists, apps, podcasts that I wanted on the iPad. It also downloaded all the files to the various apps associated with that account, which is great, I didn't need to reload all of the files with notes, splashID, etc. When done, I was receiving mail fine over my wifi, but I cannot send any email over the wifi (which is all I have right now, no 3G...) Following some of the suggestions in this discussion forum, I deleted the email account and then re-entered the info, once that was completed (correctly), I was able to receive emails ONLY if all of my Mail accounts on my devices is closed, ie., the Mail program on my mac, and the iPhone turned off. But I can still not send my emails, also, after deleting the account and then reentering the mail account info, I cannot receive emails unless my Mail account is closed on the mac and my iPhone off, hope that helps!

Mail will not send mail wirelessly: need to plug into ethernet port:

Hi:
This is weird. While my wife's ibook has a strong signal and can use Safari effortlessly, when she tries to send mail, Mail won't let her. In other words SMTP is the issue because she never has a problem receiving mail the POP server. Since we have several macs on a network, she has recently borrowed my CAT5 cable (removing it from the back of my B&W G3) and when the connection is made to her ibook, the mail is automatically sent. All the other computers have no difficuly receiving or sending mail from Sympatico. I don't think it's the ISP it's the program mail. I have not checked to see if Entourage (part of Office) has the same issue. All I've done was to trash the preferences file and removed the program and reinstalled. No Change. Any ideas? My wife is tired to using my ethernet cable

You’re welcome.
Both of our versions on Mail for our tiger systems is indeed 2.07.
If you’re running Mac OS X 10.4.8, it should be at least 2.1. Have you re-installed Mail? This is a common mistake. If you’ve reinstalled Mail from installation disks with an older version of Mac OS X, you must also reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, to bring Mail back in sync with the rest of the system:
About the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for PPC
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for Intel
You may also want to read the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

}

Here is an up to date example of sending mail with authentication and SSL. To send without SSL change smtps to smtp in the following code:

Cannot Send Mail - Error, Need help!

I can not send e-mail. Error message reads,
"The recipient "[email protected]"was rejected by the server."
Initialy I was getting an error message about "Authentication" but when I took User Name and Password for SMTP, that error disappered, but now I'm getting the above message.
Did anyone figure out the trick to get around this and send e-mails out?

AlexMaeda,
This article has more information:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305634
As for an email provider allowing customers to relay outside of their network, many email providers, set up an authenticating SMTP server on different port. The article above includes information on specifying the port to use.
For example, .Mac accounts can use port 587 as discussed in this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75124
You may want to check with your email provider if they offer an authenticating smtp server for people who are traveling or using mobile devices. Many do so without any additional cost, some may charge for access to that service.
Hope this helps,

URGENT MAIL HELP NEEDED!

Leopard has seriously screwed with Mail.
Somehow while trying to make my .mac emails only appear in Mail and not on the server my .mac account has become Read Only. I can't move mails, delete mails, mark them as read. I can send and receive but nothing else. Mail worked exactly as I wanted it for many years and now it's completely shot.
So, 2 things to resolve....
Firstly, I need to make my .mac account not read only. The error box says the following but I can't find what it's on about
The account path /Users/Ant/Library/Mail/Mac-ant.carr is not writable. Please change the Account Directory field in the Account Options tab to a writable directory
Secondly, I just want my sent emails to live in the sent email box and not on the server!
Hope someone can help!

If this helps anyone.
I installed Thunderbird and my .mac account works fine.
So,
I backed up and copied my pref file. App Zapped Mail and re-installed it. Without putting my pref file back in, the .mac account was still read only.
Anyone...?

Sender Mail Adapter - Need to pick all email only with subject "Send to Business Partner "

Hi Experts,
I have a mail to file scenario where I need to pick all emails with subject as "Send to Business Partner".
I have seen one mail attribute SHeaderSUBJECT.
Can I use this attribute to set a condition like SHeaderSUBJECT = "Send to Business Partner" some where in configuration?
Regards.
Sree.

Hi Hareesh,
I am OK with that approach, but need to pick based on email subject.
I have seen one of my previous project where if i send an email with "PI Process" subject then it was picking processing in PI.
But i am not recollecting exactly what to do to get the same.
Any other ideas please.
Regards,
Sree.

So close...Mail help needed!

I desperately need to import mail from PC Outlook 2003 to mac mail 2.11.
I used Mozilla Thunderbird on the PC and imported all email into it fine. I then copy the folder on my mac and import using mail/import. All the folders show show up and every one contains exactly one (1) email. Some of these folders have anywhere from half a dozen to 500 emails in them and the size of the file reflects it, but only 1 email shows up in each folder. Any ideas?

Worked perfectly. My guess is that I needed to rebuild each mailbox seperately. Instead I was clicking on the 'import' folder and assuming it would rebuild each individual sub-mailbox, but that isn't the case.
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Address book and Mail help needed

Greetings. I recently switched from Entourage to Mail. I'm having some troubles with Address Book and Mail. I hope that someone can help.
1. I can't seem to find an easy way to determine if an email address is already in the Address Book. In Entourage, if the email address is not in the address book, it gives me the option to add it with a link at the top of the mail window. How can I tell if an email address from an incoming mail is in the Address Book or not?
2. In Mail, when I right-click on a mail address that I am sure is in the Address Book, it often gives me the option to "Add to Address Book". Other times, it will give me the option to "Open in Address Book". There doesn't seem to be a pattern. Is there something that I can do to fix this inconsistency?
3. In Entourage, when adding a new email address to the address book, I can just click on the button in the mail window to do that, which automatically opens the new address, and then I can edit information and add a category. In Mail, the same functionality requires several separate steps (Add to Address Book, open Address Book, find new email address, click on edit to make changes, drag to Group). Is there some way to streamline the process in Mail?
Thanks much.

I have the same problem as #2.
I have a contact who sends me email from two addresses. However, in mail, the two address return different sender names - one is his initial "j" and the other is his full name.
This makes it annoying to sort threads by the "from" field, or search for that sender.
I added both to the address book, opened address book, and selected "merge contacts."
They merged. But in mail, they still return different sender names! Merge failed!
After merge, all the "j" emails still offer "add to address book" when i click them. When I do this, it creates a new address card, and if I merge this with the old merged card, then the email goes back to offering "add to address book" instead of updating all those emails with the sender's full name. Basically Mail is ignoring the address book just for that sender!
I tried "add to address book" -> quit mail -> open address book
There was the entry.
Then open mail,
There was the email, "open in address book" appeared and so I did.
I edited the name to match the full name.
Go back to mail. Still listed in mailbox as "j" instead of full name.
Now "add to address book" has returned to the choices!
Seems like a bug!!!

New mac user, mail help needed please

I have 2 mail accounts synched in my mail. My comcast account is operating fine. My mac account I am not receiving messages. I can send them, but I do not receive. I have a small circle with a small pie slice grayed out, beside my inbox which says messages stored on server. I have used the connection doctor and everything appears ok. I do get an error message when I close mail which says;
_*Some actions taken while the account “[email protected]” was offline could not be completed online.*_
_*Mail has undone actions on some messages so that you can redo the actions while online.*_
_*Additional information: Operation could not be completed. (MFMessageErrorDomain error 1028.)*_
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks
jeff

Sorry. It was worth asking.
How about this:
In Mail preferences, click Accounts, select the dotMac account, click Advanced and un-check "Enable this account." Then quit Mail and launch it again, and go back and enable the dotMac account.
In Mailbox Behaviors, un-check "Store sent messages on server" and "Store junk messages on server," and also "Store draft messages on server," if any are checked.
Then quit Mail and re-launch.
Check your dotMac mailbox by logging onto .Mac and make sure you have plenty of free disk space assigned to your mail account.
Worth a try.

Boolean search in apple mail help needed

i tried this boolean search in apple mail - in an account that had these people, but it didn't work....
Q: what am i doing wrong?
to:[email protected] or to:[email protected]

Maybe this page can help you construct complex searches in Mail:
*http://www.hawaii.edu/askus/879*
I noticed this line in the page:
+Note: When searching Mac Mail does not use some frequently used wildcard searches. Use of the asterisk * or the syntax teresa@somewhere returns no matches.+

Mail Help Needed

Hi. I just installed Lion on an external drive and I'm playing around with it.
My favorite feature of Lion is the revamped Mail. However, I'm also confused about how to do searches.
Once I enter some words in the search bar, how do I then filter that search by Subject, To, From etc? It was easy to do in the previous version of Mail. I can't figure out how to do it in the new version.
So, any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

click in the search box and type, select the input from the dropdown menu. Type again behind this token to start a new search token.
Make sense?
One limitation is the search box area does not expand to show all tokens if you exceed the space.

Proxy settings and Mail - help needed

My company uses a proxy to access the web. I have configured the proxy via the preferences-network-proxies-manually prefpane. I have all of them set up (FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, RTSP, SOCKS and Gopher). I see nothing for mail and/or any ports.
Launching mail results in the exclamation icon, which if you click on it says "Connection Failed. There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings...."
The settings work fine once I leave my companies net access. I can access everything via the web. So what do I have to configure to get Mail to work?

Actually, the problem could very well be precisely that you’ve enabled all the proxies. The Mac OS X 10.4.7 Update introduced connection issues as a result of (according to the documentation) “Mail now supports connecting to mail servers through a SOCKS proxy”. Such problems can usually be fixed by going to System Preferences > Network and disabling the SOCKS Proxy in the network configuration used to connect to the Internet, if it’s enabled. Not sure whether this would be an acceptable solution in your case, though.

Mail Help Need

Hello to the mac family,
I have a problem that may have a solution, but I am stumped.
I am a 9.2 user and used Outlook Express for years.
I have a folder of saved e-mails in OE that I put on my flash drive.
I set up Mail 3 on my new I-Mac. I was hoping my saved e-mails would be there.
They are not even though I used the same server and stuff.
Well when I open my flash drive, it shows my saved e-mail folders. i open the folder and
it shows the files as "executeable unix files" This shows above the file in a viewer that looks like
a book that is opened up. You can look at files etc in this viewer look.
Any way is there a simple way I can open these files????
They seem to be on my old slot load, but that is shutting off soon after booting. (power supply I think).
I have posted in the 9 forum to see if there ideas from that end. I am an old mac user but a newbie to X. I would love to recover my saved e-mails.....Thanks in advance......JIm

Is this Outlook or Outlook Express. The former is quite a different problem from the latter. I'm not sure what export options Outlook Express provides, but if it supports the mbox format then you want to export to that format. Mail will import mbox files.
Otherwise go to VersionTracker or MacUpdate and look for one of the many import/export utilities such as Emailchemy. Alternatively you can try another email application that will import from Outlook Express and then can be imported to Mail - Netscape/Mozilla, Thunderbird, or Eudora.
