Server does not recognize my email address

when i try to email something i get an error message that says the server does not accept my email address
?? any ideas

Was this group email successfully sent by your .Mac
account?
No; that was the first time I received the error message.
How many recipients were included with this group
mailing?
30+
Do you send a number of messages to a large number of
recipients on a daily basis with your .Mac account?
No; I do periodically, maybe 3-4 times a year to announce major changes with firm. Emails have worked in the past but possible I did them from my road runner account.
As with most other email accounts, .Mac has a sending
limit on the total number of recipients per message
and the total number of recipients for all messages
sent in a 24 hour period.
You ISP at home is RoadRunner but you use a different
ISP at the shared office?
Yes; trying to find out who it is.
If you are also accessing your RR email account with
the Mail.app and RR is not your ISP at the shared
office, are you able to send messages with your RR
email account and SMTP server when connected to the
internet at the shared office?
I access the RR email via the RR website, not via the Mail App.
Just hitting all angles in an attempt to eliminate
possible causes of this problem.

Server does not recognize email address

I have both an iphone and an ipad until today I was able to send emails from both units using my household internet connection, today when I try to send an email from my ipad I get a pop-up stating server does not recognize the email address, but I can send emails from my iphone using the same internet connection. When I checked the settings both units have the same. Two days ago both units were updated.

Both devices are using the Home Network. My ISP is Shaw in Canada. and they will only accept sent email from their subscriber households, for example if I try to send an email from my iphone via 3g it will not be recognized, but will be ok if sent using wi fi at home. I was able to send email prior to doing the last update.

Server does not recognize my recipients when sent as group.

I tried to send a group email and got the following message: "the gmail server does not recognize the following addresses..." followed by a list of names properly separated by commas. The list of addresses is so long, i can't see the bottom of it and i can't delete the offending addresses or delete the message i was trying to send. The message is frozen on my email screen (i.e. even if i force quit mail, when i reopen mail the message reappears). i have tried to trash it to no avail. i have also tried to delete the addresses from the bcc line and from the "does not recognize" message. i can highlight all i want, but nothing happens when i try to delete either by delete button or by "moving it to trash" This same request for support was posted in 2008 by marygh, but no answer was posted. I hope I have better luck. Thanks.

There's no commonality that I can see in the recipients' addresses...
The same thing happened with my previous ISP's SMTP (with my current setup), and since it didn't happen with my previous iBook / Panther setup (using the same previous ISP's SMTP and Mail groups), I figured it was a Leopard thing, but as I mentioned at the top, I found a thread in the Tiger-related forum with the same problem (but no resolution apart from making the groups smaller)...

Website does not recognize my email or password when signing in via firefox

When I try to sign onto a specific website, it does not recognize my email address or password. This only happens when I sign in through Firefox. How do I correct this?

Some sites use JavaScript to copy the name and password to another (hidden) field or use separate hint input fields for the name and password that can make Firefox store the wrong data (the password field and the input field with the Password hint text). In such a case there probably is nothing that you can do as Firefox may overwrite the name and password stored by the password editor extension immediately on the next visit.

I suddenly cannot email photos from iphoto. I get a box that says "server does not recognize username or password". I now have to use regular email and cannot re-size my photos.

Suddenly I can no longer email photos directly via iphoto mail. The box comes up that says "server does not recognize username or password". I used to be able to re-size my photos before sending so that they jpeg or pixels were larger for publishing in newspapers or magazines, but I can no longer do that. Apple tech support told me to change my iphoto "preferences" to using regular email to send. But that does not allow me to re-size. Is anyone else having this problem? I don't know if there was an update that caused this or what? Please help.

The box comes up that says "server does not recognize username or password".
That error message usually will pop up, when there is a conflict between the "From" setting for the mail account you are sending from and the selected outgoing mail server. Probably the outgoing Mail server is receiving a user name and password it does not understand. When the mail returns unsent, do you see the "Try again" panel with the option to select a different outgoing mail server?
If you do not see this panel, change the Mail "Preferences > General" to "If Outgoing server is unavailable: Show a list of alternate servers". This way, you will know, which server Mail is trying to send from.
Have you tried to set "From" pop-up menu to one of your other email addresses? If that works, change your settings in Mail to always send from this address. You can set this option in the Mail "Preferences > Composing: Send New Messages from". I have my "Send New Messages from" set to "iCloud". That is working best for me with iPhoto.

TS3276 I receive a pop up from ICal saying the server does not recognize me user name and password. This started yesterday. I have no problems with receiving or sending emails through Mail

I receive a pop-up from ICal saying the server does not recognize my user name and password for my me.com email address. This started yesterday and occurs about every 5 minutes or so. There are no problems with receiving or sending email through Mail. I did change me email password several days ago but have no problems sending/receiving since then.

I fixed the problem. I opened Preferences in ICal and entered my new password. No more pop-ups

Server does not recognize my username/password when trying to email photos

I am trying to mail photo's from my Iphoto's through my email account. However each time I try to send the pics I get a message that the server does not recognize my username/password. I have a password for my Bell sympatico account which is the account I am trying to use, but when I enter that password I get the does not recognize message. I then tried to use my Apple password and again same message.
Thank you to anyone who can help me

Hi Bob,
The following is exactly what I do, I go to IPHOTO and click on the photo I want to send, then I go to the Share menu and insert the email address where I want it sent. In that message it shows my other account which is my email address that I use all the time for all my correspondance. So I have that as the address I am sending from
Then I hit send and a text box comes up saying there is some text related to the photo looks like you could put a description here so I just hit Send anyway. Then I hit the send key and that is when the message box pops up with my complete email address with ;smtp.me.com" at the end . None of those letters or characters are in my email address. Any help you can offer I am greatly appreciative!
Cheers
Maureen

The email server does not recognize my username/password combination

What server? What email are you talking about? You're not exactly providing a whole lot of details. I could assume you mean icloud and an icloud address, but no point in wasting time troubleshooting if you mean something else...
And what's up with the picture?

I get "mail server does not recognize your Apple ID and password" when I try to share a picture via email in iPhoto. My iCloud email works ok otherwise. I have check all mail settings for ID and password.

In the iPhoto preferences ==> accounts delete the account and re-enter it - sometimes that resolves this
Or IMHO the best long term solution is to set Apple Mail as the iPhoto e-mail client in the iPhoto preferences and use it - it has a number of advatages and has fewer problems

Server does not recognize my username password

Hello I just tried to change my account on IPHOTO's to email some photo's. I am still getting the message that the server does not recognize my username/password.
I am getting really frustrated. They mention what is my username , using my email address plus smtp server is added to the end of my email address in one place , so I am not sure what this is and why I am having such difficulty.
Thank you for some help here
