Smart Group email just sitting in out box?

Hi
I'm trying to send an email out to a smart group I created which has about 150 members. I right click send email while in the address book. The group ends up in the 'To:' field. I do a 'cmd A' to select all and move them to the 'bcc' field. I put my email address in the 'To' field. I create the subject line and body text which containes a url and an image with a url link.
When I press send it immediately moves to my outbox and sits there with no activity showing in the MAIL ACTIVITY preview pane.... I've left it for quite a while thinking it might take a while but nothing changes.
When I send it to my self only it works. I've tried taking a smaller group last names A-C 30 recipients and it does the same thing.
Would appreciate some help if you have had the same problem or maybe know what I've done wrong. Oh, I've also tried it sending it out on me.com and shaw.ca email accounts...
Thanks

Since Time Warner does not support/provide an authenticated SMTP server, you will have trouble sending messages with your RR account unless you are connected to the internet via Time Warner thru a wi-fi network.
This doesn't resolve this problem, but you may want to consider switching to a Gmail account. You can access a Gmail account as an IMAP account with the iPhone's Mail client, and as an IMAP account with the email client on your computer. This will provide for keeping all server stored mailboxes synchronized with the server with both email clients used. Send a message with your Gmail account with the iPhone's Mail client, and the message will be available in the account's Sent mailbox automatically with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account - and vice-versa.
Gmail has an authenticated SMTP server, which provides for being able to send a message with the account regardless the wi-fi connection used, and when connected via EDGE.
Gmail has a good spam filter on the server, plenty of server storage space made available - much more than Time Warner provides and TW supports POP account access only, and is free.

Memails to be sent just go to out box!!!

why cant I send an directly from my laptop email as Ive I always done/ they go into the out box? however if I go thru Safarai and sigh on to iCloud I cant send the email and it goes thru- what a pain! email from

The simplest way would be to truncate it with myString.subString(iMaxLen);
However this lets the user type in any length and chops off the excess.
An approch I'd use is to slap a KeyListener on the control they are entering the text in (TextArea??).addKeyListener(this)
And on the keypressed event, get the length of the string:
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
TextArea ta = (TextArea)e.getSource();
String szSMS = ta.getText();
if (szSMS.length() > MAX_SMS_LENGTH) {
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().beep();
ta.setText(szSMS.subString(MAX_SMS_LENGTH);

Email in and out box deleted on start up.

My ipad2 keeps wiping my email account, in and out box, every time I turn it on and then reloads them. How do I solve this?

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!

Smart Group not working Correctly

I use Plaxo to sync my Outlook (exchange) to my Address Book. My Outlook hits my blackberry, so I am going to Omit members of the group "Old".
I can add members to the group Old with no problem. It currently has 99 of my 800 contacts. I created a Smart Group that says to Not include cards that belong to Old. When I click on this list, it shows only 95 contacts, which should be much more. I deleted the addressbook-v22.abcddb file and restarted Address Book and it showed several more groups.
My Non Old Smart group is not very smart today.

C, sorry…I read your posts out of order. I see that you have links to your smart groups after all. My apologies.
It's as you say, the course pages load up, but I don't see anything in the smart groups. Just thinking out loud here…maybe the search criteria don't genuinely match anything on your site? Perhaps there are actual matches, but you've hidden content with a new credential?…I accessed both pages using the "Unauthenticated" and "All" credentials. My last/craziest guess is that it has something to do with localization…français versus anglais?

Sent mail just sits in Outbox. Why?

All of a sudden yesterday, any mail I try to send from my mail app, the emails just sit in the outbox and it says, error-your server timed out on port xxx. Your mail will stay in the outbox till it can be sent.
Sometimes it doesn't say anything.
And I can't log in to my email only extra account on my dotmac....says my password was wrong, so I went and did the change password to the same password, and I still can't log on.
This has happened before when messages stayed in outbox I was trying to send, then it stopped. Now, I can't send any email through my mail application.
I can get mail.
What's the problem?
I installed Intego NetBarrier X5 last week, but it just started not sending mail yesterday.
And when it happened before, I didn't have NetBarrier.
This is so frustrating.
Can anyone help?

That worked. The funny thing is, it SAYS it sits in my outbox and I keep trying to send it, and the people actually GET it, sometimes three copies because I would keep trying. That's the weird thing also.....
But you gave me the right port number and it worked.
I wonder why the port number changed?
I got Net Barrier from Intego and it shows what port you are using and it will use 4 different ports everytime I do mail. I don't know why it does that.
But thanks. That did the trick.
Don't know why that happens.
This is the second time and I didn't even have Net Barrier before.
It's just weird.
But thanks anyway.

Where is out box on iPad

You'll find it when you browse the list of mail folders.

Can Smart Groups split a large e-mail Group

We have a Group mailing list for our Newsletter. To send the Newsletter with Mail, we put my name into the "To" field and put the Group into the bcc field.
Due to ISP restrictions, when the Group became larger than 99, we split this one Group into 2 smaller "Smart Groups" by selecting names with and then without the letter "s" in their name. This method split the names fairly evenly. We would then send the Newsletter to the first Smart Group one day, and to the second Smart Group on the following day. This system worked well, until now.
The problem is now the main Group is over 200 and we need to split it into 3 smaller Groups. Can anyone think of a way to do this using Smart Groups?
(Just like my HS PhysEd teacher once said: "I want you guys to pair off in threes.")

Thanks, we'll try that.
Actually, since we have Google Apps for Business it appears that we might be allowed to send either 500 or 2000 messages daily but no more than 99 addresses in any one message. Not sure if their "no more than 100" when using AppleMail applies or not when using Google Apps for Business.
ConstantContact would work but it costs $15/month. Hoolie has a one-time $40 charge but you must use your own ISP.

Smart Groups possible in Address Book for PANTHER?

Can you tell me if "SMART GROUPS" is just something in TIGER's version of ADDRESS BOOK or do these exist in PANTHER as well? Actually, I'm not sure what they are, but someone mentioned that I should use them...
Thanks very much!
Regards,
Steve

Steve,
"Smart Groups" are not available in Panther. This is the Tiger definition of Address Book Smart Groups: Smart Groups are group addresses that Address Book automatically updates with new contacts when they fit the criteria you've specified for that group. For example, if you create a Smart Group for all the members of your swim club by searching for "swim" in the Note field, then every time you add or change a contact and put "swim" in the Note field, that contact is automatically added to your swim club Smart Group.
You can also create a Smart Group by entering a word or phrase in the search field in the upper-right corner of the Address Book window, then choosing "Save Search" from the Action pop-up menu near the upper-left corner of the Address Book window.;~)

TS3899 I am receiving incoming emails on my iphone5, but my replies sit in the out box for days. I have checked the IP address, etc and that all seems to be correct. Any suggestions please?

I recently purchased an iphone 5.
All the settings have been copied over from my MacPro and all seems to be working fine EXCEPT for out going emails.
Emails come in even when I am out at work, but can I reply - NO - replies sit in the out box for days and then suddenly disappear. I have check all the settings and they seems fine. I have tried turning off the wireless and turning it back on. Some time that works.
Why am unable to send emails even when I am at home near my router?
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

OK, that at least means that you won't have to start from scratch again;-)
You could try to re-install only the SyncServices.framework framework since that seems to be broken or corrupt - using Pacifist, you can re-install only parts of the original system from your original disks.
Another approach would be to re-install the latest system update - this is probably the easier solution and might already be enough:

If you want to "send an email" to the group, you need to get the group into your email client's Contacts first...
Select your Group > Select All
From Address Book.App "Help" (±10 years old)
*See emphasis below* -
Importing and exporting vCards
A vCard, or "virtual address card," is a standard method of exchanging data between applications. Address Book can create and read vCards, so if you have another application that also works with the vCard format, you can import or export addresses as vCards.
Also, you can send your own card to other people in vCard format. They can use the vCard to add your information to their address books.
You can also use vCards to add addresses to the Contacts list on your iPod.
To create a vCard, drag an address card out of the Address Book window.
To add someone else's vCard to your address book, drag it into the Address Book window.
To create a single vCard with multiple entries, drag more than one card out of the Address Book window.
To create multiple vCards at the same time, hold the Option key when dragging multiple cards out of the Address Book window.
You can also work with vCards using commands in the File menu.
Address Book also supports Lightweight Directory Interchange Format (LDIF). LDIF is an ASCII file format used to exchange information and enable synchronization of that information between Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) servers. You can't export information from Address Book in LDIF format; you can only import it. Address Book can import and export vCards.
To determine the format of a document, select the document and choose File > Get Info. The format, or kind of document, is listed at the top.
If another application won't accept vCards in the default 3.0 format, try changing the format to 2.1 in the vCard pane of Address Book Preferences, and send the vCard again.

Cannot send email to Smart Group from Address Book

I created several Smart Groups in Address Book but I can't use any of them to send email. When I right-click the group name and choose Send Email, it opens my default email program (Thunderbird) and puts only the name of the Smart Group into the To: field, not the actual addresses.
If I try to actually send the message, I get the error that (name of group) "is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the email."
What am I doing wrong? How can I get it to paste the actual addresses and not just the name of the group? I looked at the Edit Distribution List window and all the addresses are there.
I'm using OS X 10.5.7, Address Book 4.1.2 and Thunderbird 2.0.0.22.
Thanks in advance.

What is the exact message you get when sending fails -- does it say there are one or more invalid addresses, or what?
Having a name in the list without email address or possibly one separated by comma between last and first might result similarly in an invalid address, and Mail will likely refuse to send to any. But if the message is from the SMTP, that might depend on the provider's policies for that.

Google show that you have to cut what you want to print and then paste it into a new app and print from that app.

I am sending emails to a Smart Group created in my address book. The contact in my address book has multiple email addresses. Is there a way for the email to go to both addresses? (ex: work and home email address under one contact)

In my address book, I have contacts that have multiple email addresses. (ex: home and work) I have created a smart group off of the company name in the contact. When I send emails, I want it to go to both email address listed in the contact. Is there a way to make this happen? Or do I have to have a separate contact for each email address?

I will agree with you on this one. Version 31 and all the fixes so far are a mess. Since I have been here answering questions for a little more than a year now I have learned to wait to upgrade until all the dust settles. I see no end to the dust storm version 31 has caused. I am still on version 24.6 and plan on staying there for the duration. At least until the developers comes to their senses and put out a working product.

In a Smart Group in AddressBook 6.1, how do I designate which email addresses I want to use?

In a Smart Group in AddressBook 6.1, how do I designate which email address I want to use for contacts who have more than one address when I'm mailing to the whole group? The "Edit Distribution List" is grayed out.

Thanks, Barney, but that's not really my question. The "Edit Distribution List" is in the Edit menu on my version, too, but I can't use it to edit the email addresses of contacts who are in Smart Groups. In the version of AddressBook I was using before I bought a new MacBook Pro and upgraded to Mac OSX Lion, I could use the "Edit Distribution List" to pick which email address I wanted to use for contacts in Smart Groups with more than one address. Apparently that isn't an option in Lion. The Help menus for AddressBook 6.1 even say that "Edit Distribution Lists" doesn't work for Smart Groups.
Okay. I get that. But some of my contacts have more than one email address, so how do I choose which email address I want Mail to use for these contacts when I send an email to a Smart Group they're in?

Sending out group email from iPad iPhone

I have groups in contacts but cannot send 1 email to all as a group on iPad iphone
Thanks

Work Around:
On your mac:
1. Open a new email
2. Insert name of an existing group into one of the "To" fields as usual.
3. Highlight all the resulting names in the "To" entry
     [Highlight first name, and while holding shift, highlight last name and all will highlight[]
4. Copy (Command C) the highlighted emails
5. Paste (Command V) nto a pages document
6. Remove the name and anything else preceeding the first < and also the first < of only the first entry whixh will look like this:
     [email protected]>,
7. Remove the > of the last email which will look like this:
     , Jane Doe <[email protected]
8. Copy the entire altered list from the pages document
9, Go to Contact Book and click + to add a new entry
10.. Name the entry (XXX Group for iPad) or whatever you wish to call it
11. Paste all the copied altered list into any one of the email entry spaces
12. Click on "Done"
13. Create new email On iPad and click on + in any one of the "To" lines and search for "XXX Group for iPad" You cannot just key in XXX Group for iPad!!!!!!!, you must use + contact search.
14. Enter the selected iPad contact group into the "To" line.
15. All the entries will now appear in the "To" line and you are good to go.
Adding or deleting email addresses from the iPad group:
Easiest: Alter the original mac group in the usual way and repeat steps 1-14 above. It seems impossible to edit within the emai line of the iPad contact entry.
Rediculously simple once figured out.
Happy emailling, but please send Bcc so that you don't spread your groups' email addresses all over the internet for spam, viruses, and other unwanted emails. Be considerate and ask your recipients to notifiy you if they wish to be deleted from the lists you compose.
