Sending photos by email from iPhoto

Hi

'The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination.'
How can I fix this? I have had a few issues with this.
Many Thanks

Saving and deleting attachments When you open a message with attachments, the header area lists the number and size of the attachments. To specify where attachments are saved: By default, attachments are saved in the Downloads folder, accessible in the Dock. You can specify a different folder. Choose Mail > Preferences and click General. From the “Downloads folder” pop-up menu, choose Other and select a location. To save an attachment: Drag the attachment to your desktop to save it there. Control-click the attachment in the message body and then from the shortcut menu, choose where to save the attachment. In the message header area, click Save (or Save All, if there are multiple attachments). Choose File > Save Attachments and select a location. To delete attachments: To delete all the attachments in a message, choose Message > Remove Attachments. The message remains in the mailbox, with a notation that the attachments were manually removed. Mail will not delete an attachment that you have edited or saved. Attachments are deleted when you delete the message. To have Mail delete attachments when you quit Mail, or to not delete them, choose Mail > Preferences, click General, and then choose items from the “Remove unedited downloads” pop-up menu. If you open an attachment in a message, Mail temporarily saves the attachment in the Mail downloads folder, located in the Library folder of your home folder. Related Topics attachments
If I understand you correctly, if not, let's try again.

Sending photo in email from iphotos

When I try to send a photo by email I get the following error message 'This message coiuld not sent. It will remain in your Outbox intil it can be sent.
This message could not be sent because your account does not have a preferred outgoing mail server. Select an outgoing mail server from the list below."
There is no list of servers. What do I do or could some clever person suggest a way of getting photos from my iphoto on my Mac to my iphone 4.

Go into iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete the email account and then add it back.
A better solution, IMO, is to set Mail as the email client for iPhoto in iPhoto's General preference pane. Mail is more reliable, gives better access to your Contacts and also has templates in its stationary section.

Sending photos as email from iPhoto

I received this error message;The email server didn’t recognize your username/password combination. I have not recently changed my password. I don't even know where to look to see what the password was, or is??

Even though it is asking for user/psswd as the error, it has to be the correct smtp address for it to recognize your 'correct' user/psswd.
Here's the issue, it is assigning a user name to smtp and asking for my password. As far as I know smpt and my mail prefs it states "smtp authentication method: none". Yet it furnishes a username that I've used before but is no longer in use.
It is possible it needs authentication method.

How can I compress photos when emailing from iphoto? current photos are 7-8Mb each

How can I compress photos when emailing from iPhoto?
current photos are 7-8Mb each if I just attach them directly

Aperture won't delete the photos from your iPhone. Most users have settled on using Image Capture ater importing into Aperture to delete the photos from the iPhone.

Are you using Yosemite and not apple's Mail app? Then you may need to set up an app-specific password: See the post below:
Re: I am using iPhoto version 9.6 and I can no longer get an email sent with a photo attached. I get an error message saying the email did not go through because the server did not reply. I can send the photo with Mail. Help!in response to Gary Kissler
This solution is for those of you using 2-step verification for your Apple ID and are using iCloud as the mail server that you are trying to mail photos with.
I too had this issue. The problem in my case occurred because I had setup 2-step authentication for my Apple ID. If you have done this then you will get the error message "the mail server did not recognize your email/password...". To solve the problem go to:
https://appleid.apple.com
Click "Manage Your Apple ID"
Verify your identity with the device you selected (if this step does not show up then you have not likely set up 2-step authentication and this is not your solution)
Click Password and Security in the left column
Click Generate an app-specific password
Enter iPhoto as the name of the app
Copy the password and paste this into the password box in iPhoto where you would normally enter your apple ID (in the mail account section in iPhoto preferences).
And...voila' (I hope)

Can not send photos by email using iphoto

hello ...I can not send any photos using iphoto as i have changed my email address, I can not change it on the email ..as a box comes up saying ...Email server did'nt recognize user name/password. ??? where do I change my old Email to my new one it is getting very frustrating, please help Marie

Not sure what you tried but the starting point would be:
Mail>Preferences>Accounts tab>Click on the + sign to add an account. From the first screen you are presented with, providing the email address and password you enter is correct, Mail will try and auto configure your account. If it can't do it on its own you'll need to input extra information from your ISP - pop or imap server address, smtp server address, authentication info, etc.
Once the email account is up and running, to directly email from iPhoto go to iPhoto>Preferences>General tab and select Mail from the drop down menu against 'Email photos using...'.
To email a photo from within iPhoto '11, select a photo, click on the 'share' button, bottom right of the screen and select 'email'.

Cannot send photos via email from within iPhoto

Hi, I used to use the functionality to send photos directly from iphoeto by email, using the templates provided.
It has always worked.
I have not used it since the last update to iPhoto 9.3, but it does not work anymore.
I get an error:
"Your email did not go through because the server did not reply.
Check your Internet connection. If the connection is working properly, the email server may be down. Try sending your email again later."
My mail is working fine, I can send and receive.
I did not change any email settings for a very long time.
Settings in iPhoto seem fine.
Anyone can help ?
Thanks !

Sharing photos by email from iPhoto 11 takes far too long. Easier to specify email via Mail in iPhoto Preferences and forget the fancy presentation in iPhoto.

Though there is an attractive range of photo presentation options in iPhoto email sharing, the time taken to send an image using these is inordinately long: 4-5 minutes for a single image. Added to this is all the confusion created by 'unrecognised username and password' error messages. All in all; though it's a pity given the sophistication of the new options, it is easier and much faster to set the email option to Mail in the iPhoto General Preferences. An unfortunate shot in the foot by Apple I think.

iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback is the route to the Developers.
Also, remember that the Stationery feature in Mail has more templates - and you can download others too.

Iphoto sending photo per email with entourage

dear all, since when I updated online the mac applications (all of them), I can't choose anymore Entourage for sending photos per email from iphoto: the only choice I get is Mail (that I do not use). I have already disselected Mail as preferred application, but the Entourage name on Iphoto preferences always appear in a grey colour and I can not select it.
can anybody help me to get back to my previous situation? thank you very much to the angel who will help me

Since you installed all those updates, I suggest you try these procedures to get things back to normal:
1. Restart your computer to repair the directory if needed.
2. Run "Repair Permissions" from Disk Utility located in your Applications>Utilties Folder.
3. Try iPhoto again. If it doesn't work then QUIT iPhoto.
4. Your iPhoto preferences file may be corrupted.
(MAKE SURE you QUIT iPhoto first)
You will find it in your Home directory:
(Home/your account) >Library>Preferences>com.apple.iPhoto.plist
Remove or trash the preference (.plist file) and restart iPhoto.

Problem sending photos by Email. Received a response from T. Devlin. Did not solve problem. I had already done what he suggested.

I had already entered my Email info under preferences.
The screen comes up with the photos I want to send.
I type my message and hit Send. The blue bar appears "Sending".
However, don't know where the photos go, they don't reach destination.
I tried sending to myself at another Email address - they didn't arrive, and they are not shown under Sent Emails either.
How to resolve?
Tried to respond to T. Devlin - but that didn't happen either. Just a Like symbol was there (as in Facebook).

Problem sending photos via email since I recently updated to iLife 11.
Which MacOS X version are you using and which iPhoto version?
If you are using Yosemite and have enabled up two-step verification for iCloud? Then you may need to create an application specific password for iPhoto.

Sudden Problem Sending Photos by Email

Hi,
After being able to successfully send photos from my iPhone by email ever since I got it, I suddenly have a problem. The recipient does not receive the photo - only a small blue box with a question mark in it. The copy of the email in my Sent folder looks the same.
I've tried a reset and, for info, I use BT Yahoo for email.
Have hunted high and low for reference to this and only found one post but there was no real explanation or resolution.
Any help or advice gratefully received. Cheers!
