Setting up outgoing server for Mail

I have a business email account--thru yahho smal biz--and can receive mail. I cannot send mail. I've tried setting up mail.mac.com, smtp.gmail.com and neither works.

You can configure Hotmail to work on the iPhone. It's working great on mine!! You have to upgrade to a Hotmail Plus account (although, apparently they will be offering POP3 on free accounts, as well, sometime within the next year). It sounds like POP3 on the paid Hotmail accounts is something that was just "officially" enabled last week. I found an official announcement from one of the Lead PMs for Hotmail - take a look, here:

I just upgraded my Hotmail account to Hotmail Plus yesterday and now my mail works from my iPhone (it was not working yesterday before I upgraded my account). Here are the iPhone mail settings I am using successfully (the email addresses and passwords are just examples, of course):
Account: On
*Account Information:*
Name: John Smith (note: enter your own name)
Address: [email protected] (note: enter your full Hotmail email address)
Description: Hotmail
*Incoming Mail Server:*
Host Name: pop3.live.com
User Name: [email protected] (note: enter your full Hotmail email address)
Password: password (note: enter your Hotmail password)
*Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP):*
Host Name: smtp.live.com
User Name: [email protected] (note: enter your full Hotmail email address)
Password: password (note: enter your Hotmail password)
*Advanced Settings:*
Incoming Uses SSL: On
Outgoing Uses SSL: On
Authentication: Password
Delete from Server: When removed from Inbox (or your preferred option)
That's it - I hope everything works for you, as well. Good luck!

  • DNS/web-server hosted off-site. How to set up Leopard server for mail?

    Hey Everyone,
    Brand new xserve with leopard server 10.5.2. Currently, Our web and DNS server for our domain,"company.com" is co-located off-site with an MX record of "mail.company.com" pointed at the static IP of the office where our mail server is. I want to replace the mail server with the xserve. With that in mind, how do I configure the DNS on the xserve during initial configuration to reflect that? Give it a self-referencing FQDN like server.company.office and see if the mail service can handle the domain hosted elsewhere?
    I'm pretty new to servers and would love be able to keep this all in Standard but I'm not afraid to jump into Advanced if need be. I've created a test domain through GoDaddy of "company2.com" with an MX record of "mail.company2.com" pointing at the IP address of the xserve. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • Recognizing outgoing server on Mail

    I have two e-mail accounts, on being a .mac account, and another set up for a separate webmail account. The Mail application has always had an off-again on-again issue with recognizing the outgoing server for the webmail account. I just had my computer serviced and everything restored, and now it's not recognizing it at all. I know I'm putting the info in correctly, because I set up the webmail account in Microsoft Entourage as an experiment, and it's working perfectly there. Theoretically I could just use Entourage, but since everything else is Mac based (including my iPhone) I'd rather keep it consistent. Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    I have a similar problem with outgoing mail. Either the sender's email is found to be invalid (it's not) or Mail cannot connect to the outgoing server (mail.insightbb.com). I called insight and they sent me to myinsight.com, I seem to be set up correctly according to their site. They told me to call Apple, which I may do tomorrow. I have had this problem since july 1 and have been using other accounts (gmail and me.com) with no issues. I will try putting the info into the account and see if it works on an individual basis.
    Any other ideas anyone?

  • Setting up Oracle Server for Home???

    hello
    Please would someone help me, I recently installed in Oracle Developer Suit on my machine, and so far the Developer icons and ohters show up .. but cannot seem to connect to the main Developer suite program frm Start>Programs>Oracle>Oracle Developer Sute....
    here is where the big problem is and that is how do I set up a server at home for it, as the college has a server for their oracle program. Without Oracle running i cannot really do my assignment two of using Oracle itself to produce a database through the program.
    I want to ask would the Net manager allow me to set up and test the server this way? note that i have followed the instructions of my lecture handsouts taht he put on blackboard, the thing is taht he has not yet shown me how to set it up and get it to run? so I was thinking do any of you people know how to do this?
    id b great if you could post some instructions ro guidlalines or email me the screen dumps of how i can clearly set up a server for my program so i can log in with a username and passworld and connect string @ home.
    email is [email protected]

    Bo,
    If you have the means, I would recommend placing spatial indexes on a separate physical device from data and other indexes. This is an extension of the data separate from indexes rule of thumb.

  • Sharing the same outgoing server for more than one email in mail program

    A local computer company has web servers and he has assigned me a website with my own domain and I have two emails under that domain. I can't seem to setup these two emails to work correctly in apple mail. It's telling me that I can't have the same outgoing server setup for both email accounts. This is how the server is run. Both my emails which are assigned under my domain web url both use the same outgoing server. Is there anyway around this error or am I stuck?
    thanks

    This is important.

  • Optimum server for mail apparently played havoc with my iMac mail app, kicking my Opt mail offline . Three hours on phone with both. Appears to be Optimum service issue. Had to restore all my mail preferences in Apple app to set that right. Working today

    Last night, my Mac Mail app showed Optimum and gmail as offline and first I couldn't send any mail, then stopped receiving.  Could sign in at Optimum server, but then that stopped responding.  Was on the phone 4 hours, twice with Apple, twice with Optimum. Optimum maintained it was an Apple problem, but had me change my setup for mail in Mail App preferences on my Mac. Got it working and few mintues later out again. I called Apple again. We reset the preferences in mail app and agreed it was the Optimum Server causing problems.
    This morning, I couldn't sign in to optimum webmail. Just testing it out, yet I could send mail from my mail apps, mobile and Mac. I didn't get mail that was sent to me last night but seems now it is working again and my preferences in Apple app, are as Apple set or reset them to work with Optimum. 
    Anyone else have this problem. 

    Oh yes. Optimum ended by saying. Apple will have to create an App update to Mail to have things work right between them.  I don't think so. Optimum's server wouldn't let me sign in this morning at all...even though I mostly use app not the server.  Kept redirecting me to Sign-in page . Then an hour later, I could sign in with no problems.
    Just be careful about having Optimum change too much over the phone in your Apple mail app preferences.  I know Apple and I made a few with ports..and password dropdown. Optimum told me to set it to NONE for password, and that worked for a few minutes, then stopped.  This is n Optimum issue , IMHO. 
    I trust Apple Express support more than I trust Optimum support.  The second person I spoke to at Optimum said these complaints about Macs and Optimum and Mac mail app have just been coming in this week. They are aware of it, but I see this isn't the first time this has happened.
    Also, since Optimum is still a POP3 server, my e-mails that I delete keep coming back for a few days, on my mobile devices. 

  • Can I use an alternate outgoing server in mail on ipad2?

    I would like to use the gmail server gmail as my primary outgoing server rather than my me.com account. I can't seem to turn off the primary server it only allows me to add an additional sever as a secondary or back up.  Thoughts?
    Basically I want my reply emails to show as from my gmail account.

    yes you certainly can. and by searching those keywords on google you'll find very detailed step by step setup guides.
    but i recommend you using a third party app instead of the apple Mail for one big reason:
    if you use Mail to send messages, your sent mail will not be stored under your gmail server, meaning, as you go on to the actual Gmail webpage, you wont be able to find the messages you sent from apple's Mail app.. if you have been using Gmail as your primary email database, i highly recommend you not to use the default Mail app.. I only use apple Mail to download attachments to iphone/ipad and open/save them with different apps (such as Phone Drive, Downloads..etc) which have the ability to open different file formats and have a file manager system.

  • Set up secondary DNS for mail?

    When I first configured my server using the advance setup, I successfully setup my DNS services using a domain name for the primary zone that is not a registered domain. I have no intention of ever using the domain name I use internally on the net.
    I usually host my mail services with third-party hosting company and just use my server for file and print services. However, I recently purchased a new domain name and have considered using the mail services to host the domain. My question is:
    Do I need to setup a secondary zone for this domain, or should I start over and reconfigure my server? I had read that once you configure your primary DNS, it is hard to go back and reconfigure it.
    Also, once I have the DNS properly configured, it is my understanding that I'll just need to point the MX records at my hosting company towards my server to make it work, correct?

    If you're just looking for mail then there's no need to start from scratch - you can just tell the mail server to accept mail for your new domain in addition to the existing domain.
    Before you do this, though, make sure you have a) a static IP address and b) working reverse DNS for your IP address. If you don't have this then remote mail servers may not accept your mail since you look like a spammer.
    Apart from that, once you setup postfix to accept mail for your new domain then, yes, all you need to do is change your MX records.

  • How to set a Proxy Server for appletv

    The network I'm on requires that I set a Proxy server to get out to the internet.
    Is there anyway to specify a Proxy server for AppleTV?

    Hi Red-Baron,
    The Apple TV does not support Proxy Server configuration (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305010). An alternative is to enable internet sharing on a computer and have the Apple TV connect to that computer.

  • HT4864 can I use the icloud smtp server as the outgoing server for all my other imap accounts?

    I have several imap accounts. I want to send all my messages using the icloud server. I put the icloud server as the smtp server for each account but mail is not able to send the messages. The configuration is correct for the smtp iclous server, I checked.
    Is there anything I'm missing?
    Fausto

    The only thing you're missing is that you can't do that.  You have to use the correct smtp server for the mail accounts.  Email providers generally don't like sending some other company's mail.    If you want to send from the icloud servers, use your icloud account when composing.

  • Configure localhost report server for mail destype. REP-52266

    This is forms 11g , developing with localhost in windows 7
    I'm trying to configure mail destype .
    I edited this file:
    C:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\ClassicDomain\config\fmwconfig\servers\AdminServer\applications\reports_11.1.2\configuration\rwserver.conf
    to add this destination:
       <destination class="oracle.reports.server.DesMail" destype="mail"/>
    and set the smtp server
       <pluginParam name="mailServer" value="xxx.xx.xxx.x">
    (begin xxx... the ip of the smtp server)
    Now I get an error when launching the reports server in the navigator with http://localhost:7001/reports/rwservlet/showjobs
    REP-52266: Fallo al iniciar el servidor de Reports en proceso ....oracle.reports.RWException: IDL:oracle/reports/RWException:1.0

    We got it working in the linux development server, so I will forget about localhost.
    Now I have to take a look at how to establish the From, subject and body of the email, as I'm only able to define the destination email (with desname).
