Setting PRIMARY outgoing Mail Server

i have nine emails from my primary domain, one from a secondary domain, a gmail account and a me.com account.
i am having problems with email (cannot connect to domain name) and i am trying to verify that my outgoing server settings are correct. can someone help me here. it appears that i have to get into an /individual/ email account and at which point i have an option to select SMTP server?! this then pulls up the /first/ image which shows a primary server.
How do i change this primary account?! Do i "simply" enter all new information for each and every email account and change the primary outgoing server for each and every email address?!
How do i /set/ the primary server for an /individual/ account? Do i have to enter a new outgoing primary server for each and every email account/
Do i have to enter a USER NAME that is the same as my email account name each time i enter an outgoing server?
What is the purpose of the ON and OFF buttons for the "Other SMTP Server" accounts listed?
Do i keep the GMAIL outgoing server ON? or "on" only for the GMAIL account?
I am uber confused here and am hoping for some clarification...
THANKS.

Well, first, you only need one copy of each server. cwmx.com is AT&T's SMTP server, and will only work when you are on cellular data; it will not work over WiFi. So start by deleting all cwmx.com servers except the first. cwmx.com should not have a user ID or password.
When you send mail the iPhone first tries to send using the primary SMTP server. If that fails or times out, it tries the secondary servers in the order listed. cwmx.com is a last resort server; most people don't need it at all; it is only needed if your ISP does not relay mail from outside of its network.
For each mail server that you interact with the Primary SMTP server should be the one for that server. The Primary server should never be cwmx.com. So for the universaljointdesign.com account the primary server should be mail.universaljointdesign.com, and you should enter your user ID and password. The secondary should be cwmx.com, and you should turn off all of the other SMTP servers for that account. Further, if mail.universaljointdesign.com does not require that you be within the site firewall when sending you don't even need cwmx.com enabled.
For the gmail account the SMTP server should be smtp.gmail.com, and that's the only one that needs to be on. You will need to enter your full gmail address as ID and your gmail password. If you have 2 factor authentication enabled for gmail you will have to generate a single use password.

  • How to change the primary outgoing mail server in iphone

    I am trying to change the primary outgoing mail server from Yahoo to another mail which is my internet provider. I do not know the steps to complete this in my iphone thanks

    If you have more than one email account on your phone, you can change the default account under Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>Default Account. Note that this setting does not appear unless you have more than one account on your phone. So, you'll need to add the email account from your ISP under Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Add New Account if you have not already done so.

  • Can't switch the primary outgoing mail server for Gmail?

    I recently got an iPad and went to set up my two Gmail accounts exactly how I have them set up on my iPhone: Gmail Account #1 is my original one, and Gmail Account #2 was linked to it later to utilize its outgoing server (so messages sent from #1 look like they're coming from #2).
    On the iPhone, I switched off #1's primary outgoing server and selected #2's. Very simple, very easy.
    But on the iPad, when I go to switch off #1's outgoing server, the only option I have available afterwards is to click 'Cancel' - it won't let me turn it off and select another one!
    The problem seems exclusive to Gmail, as my Yahoo account doesn't have this issue.
    I have a feeling it's an iOS7 glich... I have iOS7 on the iPad, but not on my iPhone. Everything else is set up exactly the same between the two devices. I've tried deleting both accounts and re-activiating, I've tried manually setting them up instead of using Apple's pre-selected system... nothings seems to work.
    Anyone?

    The issue isn't getting the accounts online - both accounts are added and working. The issue is that Gmail forces me to use the primary outgoing server for their respective accounts - I can't switch it off and select another from that drop-down list like I can with my iPhone.
    I am able to switch ON the outgoing server for #2, but the problem is that when I slide the primary server to "off" - the "DONE" button in the top right remains gray and unclickable. Strangely this is not the case for Yahoo - I can select an outgoing server on that account at will.

  • Setting up outgoing mail server (with Gmail??)

    Hi,
    I'm as green as you can get with Final Cut Server and I just installed it on my Mac Pro. I was wondering if it is possible to use Gmail as my outgoing SMTP server for notifications to other users? If so, would someone mind pushing me in the right direction? I don't have the slightest idea of how to make this work.
    If Gmail does not work, what are some other solutions people have used in order to send email notifications out to users? Thank you in advance.

    I got SMTP relay through Gmail working with the help of this little tutorial. Basically you just need to tweak the Postfix config files to leverage SSL.

  • Setting for outgoing mail server

    I have 2 sub accounts with verizon.net, I try to define the outgoing server, but when I go to send a msg the server is rejected. I have tried outgoing.verizon.net and outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net. Any suggestions please reply. Thanks in advance.
    <Edited by Host>

    Not a good idea to post any email address -- I have asked your message to be altered by a Host to remove it.
    Are you reporting you have a primary Verizon account that can send, but not with what you are calling "sub accounts"?

  • How do I get my Gmail setting for outgoing mail server back on line?

    I cannot get mail from my G-mail account any more.  Only "wrong password" error messages.  So I changed the pass word which made no difference.  The settings on both these accounts are correct and msn continues to work just fine.  However I note "off line" next to my G-mail in set up mail and I have not been abe to change that to "on line" in order to get all the g-mail messages that are waiting to come through.

  • Can I set my iCloud email as the outgoing mail server for my google apps email account in Mac Mail?

    I have a google apps email account from an old client, all my work emails have been going to it for years. As I'm no longer affiliated with this client I'd like to make a transition to using my iCloud account for work. I asked people to use my iCloud address but as they've been using my google apps address for years it's what automatically comes up when they type my name.
    I figure the easiest way to make a transition is if I reply to all the emails that arrive at my old address from my iCloud address and gradually they will start using my new address without realising it. But I can't find a simple way to do this.
    In Mac Mail preferences > accounts > Google IMAP (my old account name) > Account information > Outgoing Mail server (SMTP) I'd like to set my iCloud SMTP server. But although my iCloud account uses its own outgoing mail server for its own account , it is not in the server list when I select my google account. I've tried to add it to the server list as smtp.mail.me.com but it caused my whole iCloud account to give me error messages until I force quit Mail...
    Any ideas?

    In iCloud/Mail, have you tried going to Preferences (select with gear at lower left)/Composing and setting a Send from address there?

  • What is my outgoing mail server for setting up a new account in Mail?

    Hi, I'm trying to set up a new account in Mail so that I check my school e-mail from that application and I've figured out what my incoming mail server is, but what where would I find the outgoing mail server if I want to send through Mail?
    Thanks

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Ask the company providing you internet juice to get online. If it is Comcast, it typically is smtp.comcast.net or mail.comcast.net. If it is Verizon, it is outgoing.verizon.net. If it is someone else it is some SMTP server that is assigned by the company that you pay your bills to get online with.

  • HT201320 What am i supposed to put as the incoming mail server and the outgoing mail server when setting up my email?

    I'm tryingt to set up my email through my school account and i'm not sure what it means when i'm asked to enter a incoming mail server and an outgoing mail server. Help would be appreciated thanks

    Since no one here has any idea about what type of mail your school offers...you don't mention what school...your question, as asked, can't be answered. What don't you contact your school's IT dept., or look online. Most schools have instructions on how to do so online.

  • Difficulty finding my outgoing mail server setting...

    Hello, could you help please?
    I am trying to get my email set up again  at home having just bought a new computer. My previous computer died and I do not have a record of all the settings.
    The email address I use is @oceanfree.net and my email comes from a server oceanfree.net in Dublin. BT, however, as part of my pacakge here, sends out my email, making it - I am pretty sure - my outgoing mail server. I can't find here, however, what the settings for this are.
    Thunderbird, to set up my email, is asking me to fill in the following settings for the outgoing server:
    Description:
    Server Name:
    Connection security (the options here are none, START TLS or SSl/TLS):
    Authentication method (the options are 'password, transmitted securely, 'encrypted password','Kerberos/GSSAPI' or 'NTLM'):
    User Name:
    I can guess at some of these but others I just don't know. Can you please point me in the right direction?
    Best Regards,
    Conor Joyce

  • HT1277 how do I find my outgoing mail server info for gmail account set up?

    how do I find my outgoing mail server info for gmail account setup?

    Most current Mac systems have a preloaded set of information and settings for the common email providers.  Try just choosing gmail and enter your userid and password at the prompts and see if the preload configures correctly for you.

  • How do I fix my iPod touch's problem with hotmail outgoing mail server?

    I have just received a new replacement iPod touch 8Gb.
    On my old model I used the house wifi network to connect to HOTMAIL in the mail app it would set the account up immediately and work perfectly.
    This time, when I tried to set the account up I had a long delay while it verified account details. Then after opting to set up account without using SSL an account was generated with an error message to say I may not be able to send or receive mail.
    Incoming mail is OK, outgoing is not working.
    The error message told me that I needed to configure my outgoing mail server.
    My default outgoing server is set to smtp.live.com and works on port 587.
    I have an additional server set to 'on', which is also smtp.live.com working on port 465, which was set up when I tried to alter the port number on the default server. Still no outgoing mail.
    Any suggestions?

    Followed your instructions and again, account verification failed using SSL.
    I chose to create without SSL and got the following message:
    'The SMTP server 'smtp.live.com' is not responding'. I accepted the details,
    the email Inbox populated, and everything looks normal.
    Same error is occuring:
    'Connection to outgoing server 'smtp.live.com' failed. Additional outgoing mail servers can be configured in settings>mail,contacts and calendars'
    The settings are as follows:
    Incoming mail server
    Host Name: pop3.live.com
    username: is correct
    password: is correct
    Outgoing SMTP:
    Primary server
    host name: smtp.live.com
    username: is correct
    password: is correct (has been re-entered just in case)
    Use SSL: OFF
    Authentication: password
    server port 587
    I have duplicate SMTP servers listed under 'Other SMTP servers' with exactly the same details as above so it seems as if the iPod is retaining some settings even after I delete account.
    Also, I wonder if there is anything I need to get the network administrator to do, because he did ask for the Wi-Fi address of my previous iPod touch could it just be a case of allowing it as a specific device on our network?

  • Hey guys! I went to Mexico over spring break and messed up my email settings. Now I can't send any emails what so ever, but I can get them. It says that an outgoing mail server smpt.live has failed. So...I need help! I haven't sent an email since march!

    #emailhelp

    Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

  • Outgoing mail server setup

    Hello everyone,
    I am having problems with setting up the e-mail response.
    How do you authenticate the smtp server from FCS?
    In the outgoing mail server, I put "smtp.broadband.myISPprovider.com" - string I got from them. There is nowhere in FCS to put user name and password for authentication.
    The e-mail response does not even show in the "View All jobs" window like every other response.
    I tried every flavor of the string, including the port :587 , my e-mail address and such with no luck.
    What am I missing?
    If anyone could help, please.
    Thanks
    Radek

    Thanks Simon,
    I've just spoken to Apple and sure enough, the outgoing mail needs to go through an open relay server for it to work. Well..., open relay servers are getting blacklisted by most ISPs because of all the spam. I also spoke to my ISP and they do not offer any open relay so I'm stuck. I don't want to leave our system vulnerable by going through some shady open mail server. Apple needs to figure out how to make the authentication possible from FCS.
    Thanks again
    Radek

  • Outlook 2007 - Outgoing mail server from a 3rd party

    I tried to set up the outgoing mail server for my Outlook 2007 with a 3rd party mail server. e.g. mail.xxxx.com, and I could not send the e-mail at all. If I set up the  outgoing mail server as outgoing.verizon.net, I can send the email to everyone else but not to this 3rd party mail server mail.xxxx.com. I received the undeliverable message from Verizon that the mail was rejected due to not being able to log on to this 3r party mail server. I am working for this company from home and it requires me to set up this for my outgoing mail server. Does anyone know how to fix this, including specifying what needs to be done at the 3rd party mail server to change to accept emails sent from outgoing.verizon.net? Thank you in advance. Andy

    Port 25 is the standard for SMTP, although some now use a submission port, 587. I know port 25 off network is blocked for residential users, I don't know if 587 is blocked off network because I have never tried it. I suspect it is. Verizon is by no means the only ISP to do this.
    Business accounts do not have blocked ports as far as I know, so if you have a business account, you are free to communicate using port 25 anywhere.
    Verizon has recently gone to non-standard port assignments for SMTP and POP servers. see
