Sent messages synching but not sending

For some reason, messages will no longer send (no Sending icon appears). They stick in my Outbox indefinitely. If I send from .Mac online, however, they synch to the Sent folder. Connection Doctor shows everything working fine. Any ideas?

Have you checked to see if your ISP has changed policy on allowing outgoing e-mails? I had same problem with Cox, they disabled outgoing mail port to disallow connection with smtp.mac.com , all outgoing mail must go through their own outgoing mail server (cox.net domain). They still allow my outgoing mail address to be [email protected], but must use the smtp.???.cox.net server.
Supposedly prevents spam, especially from malicious programs that take over your own computer (and identity) to send out spam.
Good luck, let us know if /when you work it out…

Nokia messaging receiving but not sending

last night nokia messaging just stopped sending emails, for no apparent reason. anyone else come across this?

Hi,
I presume you are talking about the fact that R6 is not sending any routes to R2. There is a good reason for this. If you look at the 'sh ip bgp' output for R6, you will see that all routes marked with a '>' sign were learned from R2. Therefore, these are selected as the best routes. There is not a single route that was not learned from R2. BGP will not advertise out routes that it learned from a neighbor back to that neighbor. Also, BGP will only adveritse the routes it itself uses (in this case, the ones marked with >). Since all of these routes were learned from R2, R6 has nothing to advertise to R2.
This is correct behaviour. If you really want to see something being advertised, do somethink like creating a loopback interface on R6 and then do 'redistribute connected' under your BGP process on R6.
Hope that helps - pls rate the post if it does.

To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try the following:

Why can I receive but not send messages through Mail?

I recently installed a wireless router (linksys). I can send mail at the local coffee shop, yet here at home I can't. I know it's something very simple, but I'm giving up...and asking for help in fear of tweaking the settings beyond my knowledge. I get a popup that tells me I can't use the listed server for outgoing mail. I have a couple choices...1) lynksys 2)stmp.mac.com:tugboater.
I wish I could get it set up...Its annoying to have to use mt yahoo address.
Heelllppp!

Help! I have read through this string, but not found an answer. I too, can receive emails but not send them. The problem started last week - I've been successfully using my mail account for 2 years and then last week, stuff I send just disappears - no error messages. I didn't change any settings or do any updates. All sent messages show in my "sent" folder, as well. I have tried everything, including restoring my hard drive from a backup copy made before I was having difficulty.
I used suggestions in the online help, including using the "ping" function to see if I was communicating with my outgoing mail server. Trying to ping mail.mac.com I get the error message:
"PING mail.mac.com (17.250.248.152): 56 data bytes
--- mail.mac.com ping statistics ---
10 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
I am using mail and .mac mail through a cable DSL line and Airport wireless connection.
I tried changing my outgoing port to 110 and to 25 without help.
Any thoughts?

Sorry for the delay...
I did what you've told me, new account and manually copied my files from Time Machine. I had lots of permissions problems, but at the end, almost everything is in order... It seems it had to be with some of the Apple Preferences, but I can't be sure, as most of them were dumped to the trash can.
I still don't have my Mail Rules back, unfortunately, although I did goggled some. It is a pity, as I had around 30 or 40 of them, getting my mail in order to each of its mailboxes, but it is a small price as the rest doesn't show the before syntoms.
Thanks for the help, anyway!!

Hi,
It may pay to send a Screen Shot of the Connection Doctor info. (see the Window Menu)
It would seem the IMAP or POP side is logged in bit the out going STMP server is not.

Why can I receive text messages but not send?

Why can I receive text messages but not send. This has been happening for about 10 hours.

Thanks for the response. Must be smart phones. My daughter has a dumb phone and she can send out. I tried deleting my text messages on the Verizon website, but they won’t delete. It must be on their end. Chat line was busy forever, until they shut it down.

Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if you can then send emails

My Iphone 4s can recieve messages but not send them

As above, I can recieve messages, but not send them, I have no idea what is going on and I haven't even done anything to it, it randomly just stopped working one day, I've tried resetting network settings, switching it on and off, switching on and off everything related to the internet... still nothing.
It also won't connect to the EE internet network but wifi is fine?
Please help Im getting frustrated

Also, to add, when it asks me to sign in to my apple ID it keeps saying my password for my email is wrong, when it's not, I checked it 5 times, entered the exact same password on the computer and it worked there.

I changed my e-mail address a few months ago everything was ok. Starting monday my outgoing mail can not be sent, it says the server rejected my e-mail address. Why ? I can receive mail but not send it

My outgoing mail gets rejected. I can get mail but not send it.It was working for about 6 months.

If the smtp is rejecting your password you should go in.
Mail -> Preferences -> Accounts
Select your Yahoo account in the sidebar on the left.
In account information tab you will see : " Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) "
Click on it and choose edit SMTP server list.
Select Yahoo and click on the advanced tab.
Now fill your new Yahoo password.
Hope it's help.

Can't sent emails after iPhone 5S upgrade to 7.1.1. Receive works but not send.

My wife’s iPhone stopped sending emails after upgrading to iOS 7.1.1. She can receive emails but not send. I compared the email settings on my 5s with 7.1 (and no issues) to hers and they are identical (both are road runner accounts with the same domain name). If I delete her email account and then re-add the account, send email works for a while but will eventually fail. I’ve also been able to get send emails to work on her phone after sending an email from the same account via MS Outlook on my PC. Everything else on the phone is working and her email account also works fine from MS outlook on my PC and on her MacBook Pro. I called Verizon and they said they have had similar complaints from others after an iOS 7.1.1 upgrade. They had me delete/add the account then reset the wifi settings but that didn’t fix the issue. They suggested contacting road runner. Any thoughts on what the problem and resolution would be?

OK so apparently it's some kind of corrupt backup. I checked my backup list and there's one from a year ago and then a few from this morning. Anytime I try to restore to the ones this morning, I have this problem. I was able to successfully restore from the one from a year ago.
Now trying to get everything organized the way I like it. Ughh!!!

Sent messages are sometimes not saved

Hello,
This is a follow up to this thread, which was never answered and is now archived:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2213207
In Mail.app, using IMAP, my sent messages are sometimes not saved. I'd say about 1 in 20 never appear in my Sent folder. The recipients always receive these messages, so it's not a delivery problem. I just don't retain a copy of them. This is very frustrating if I send a cost estimate to a client, or a detailed description of a technical problem that I need to refer back to later.
I've rebuilt my mailboxes and I've checked my IMAP folders on the server via a webmail interface, and the messages are not there.
Has anyone else experienced this? It's hard to believe I'm the only one, but it's hard to search for this problem because my search results are always full of people who have lost or can't save -any- of their sent messages. My problem is intermittent and random.
Thanks,
-Arlo

I have a similar occasional problem with an IMAP account using a Comcast Business Class Exchange server. I use Mail and my iPhone to access the account; I'm running OS X 10.6.4 on my laptop but my "sent messages" issue predates the latest release.
The first time I noticed this issue I thought, "I'll just access my mail via the Comcast web portal. It'll be in the 'sent' folder there." No dice. The "sent" messages simply never stay on the server, yet my recipients get them.
It's distressing. First, the solution would appear to be a switch to a MS mail client, which I swore off years ago. Second, I rely on having a "sent" message as a record. I switched off IDLE per your suggestion, Ernie, but otherwise I'm in the same boat as the others here. Please keep this thread alive. I'm hopeful that this can be resolved.

Can receive, but not send emails

I've been trying to set up a new mail account on Apple Mail for the past several days. Thus far, I'm able to receive emails with the account, but not send. I've contacted my internet provider to confirm that my settings are correct, and they are, but it's still not working. They said I need to contact Apple.
He are my specifics:
MAC OS 10.5, Apple Mail, Time Warner Road Runner: Eastern North Carolina.
They have recommended: stmp-server.ec.rr.com, alternate port setting: 25. No SSL, and no authentication.
I have tried a few other settings too... the standard ports setting, alternate port setting: 587, SSL selected, and my user name and password for authentication.
Can someone help me?
Thanks in advance!

I've had the same issue setting up my Time Warner Road Runner email account on a new iMac OS 10.5.5, so I can totally relate to your problem.
At first I could receive messages, but couldn't send. After multiple attempts to fix the settings, I finally found the right combination to be able to send:
1) Open the Mac Mail application
2) Click onto "Mail" in the top bar next to the apple symbol and click onto "Accounts"
3) Look down on the bottom of that window for the "Outgoing Mail Server" drop-down window, and click the drop-down window and select "Edit Server List"
4) Make sure that the server listed in the top of the next screen says:
smtp-server.ec.rr.com
5) Look down below in the same screen and click onto "Advanced"
6) Make sure the server port is 25 (not 587)
7) Also make sure that "Use Secure Socket Layers (SSL) is NOT CHECKED in the check box.
8) Make sure that the drop-down window below the server port info marked as "Authentication" is showing "none"
9) Click "OK"
10) Close out the Accounts window, so that it asks you to Save new settings. Be sure to hit "Save"
11) Close out of the Mac Mail program
12) Re-Open Mac Mail program and test it out by sending yourself.
13) You should see that dummy message sent out, and then received into your Inbox.
Hope this helps.
