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)...

I just purchased a new Linksys E2500 router. It will connect to all my other devices, but does not recognize the password when sent from the PowerBook G4.

I just purchased a new Linksys E2500 router. It will connect to all my other devices, but does not recognize the password when sent from the PowerBook G4. When I try it responds that the password is invalid. I have connected my MacBook Pro, iPad and iPod Touch with the same password.

Try putting $ (a dollar sign) in front of the password.

Mail server does not recognize my recipients?

The other day I imported the vCards from the address book on my iMac to the one on my MacBook Pro. Then I recreated the group I always used on the iMac to send pictures of my kids. There are 114 contacts in that group.
Now, when I try to send email to that group from the MacBook, I get the following error:
The server "smtp.mac.com" did not recognize the following recipients:
And then it lists a bunch of the addresses.
But when I try to send an email to those recipients individually it works fine. Only when I attempt to send mail to a big group does it give me this error. I never had this problem on the iMac.
Any suggestions?

And then it lists a bunch of the addresses.
I've not had this problem recently - and I never use .mac for large distribution lists - but in the past when I did it always turned out to be user error - I had a leading space or some other address formation error on my part as I made the mail list - in some cases it was very subtle and it took a while to see what I had done -- look very closely at the ones that do not work (I assume that some are working and some are not) - you probably will find the problem
Good Luck

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

Can't stop an email from sending, stuck in sending mode, server does not recognize recipients

Tried to send an email with a long list of recipients, stuck on window for sending that email, can't stop the mode or delete it. Server does not recognize recipients........, every time I open email account, thismessage reappears and I can't close, delete, etc.
Please help?

Ok....figured it out.....Go to check mail, choose out bos, delete the message trying to be sent.....if still there. Force Quit mail and then restart the email and message should gone and not on dock!......Brain synapse today!

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

Fixed by resetting my password to Apple's new protocol! In my case, I had to add a capitol letter.

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

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.

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.

ICal error: Server does not recognize your password

Today I opened iCal on my iMac and I get an immediate error message saying that the "server does not recognize my password for my user name and says to make sure that it's entered correctly." I went to MobileMe in System Settings and everything was OK. I was able to see it on the MobileMe website but it still gives me the error message when I open iCal.

Today, I had this exact same issue. What helped was quitting iCal, deleting the cal.me.com password in keychain, starting iCal again, then entering it again in iCal preferences. It started syncing right after that.
People who don't have the cal.me.com password should check their general mobile me settings.
Ghostlarke: if you sync your calenders, you ARE using MobileMe.

I keep getting a popup error message in Ical "server does not recognize name/password

I keep getting a popup error message in Ical "server does not recognize name/password" This started after they did the change to Icloud and extended our subcriptions.
Tricia

I guess that the server name is incorrect, then.
Did it ever work?
Delete the account, reboot the phone, then add it back and be sure you choose Yahoo as the mail server type. Everthing should then fill in automatically except your user name and password.
