Smtp not working

My wife's email can no longer send Mail. This happened last night.
Nothing has changed except it is not working.
I created a new user and then re-entered her mail information and it works under a new user.
But when I log back in, her SMTP is not working.
I deleted her SMTP settings and re-entered a new SMTP and it still not working.
I am lost on how I should handle this
I do have TimeCapsule
Is there a way on what File in the System folder that I should re-install on her laptop?

SMTP NOT WORKING SINCE MOVING TO BT?!!?!??!

Basically, just moved to Bt Infinity.
And all my of my SMTPs are not working.
I've got a few different SMTPs that I send emails through (we're not talking a lot, 25-50 a day if that).
I run a whole range of websites and have an email address for each.
But since moving to BT, I've not been able to send any emails.
Please help ASAP!

Hi. Welcome to the forums.
Apologies for asking some questions below :-
Can you give some indication of the error messages you are receiving ?
It sounds like you have your own domain, using specific email address setup for each website ? Or perhaps different domains ? - would that be perhaps correct ? Do you have your own mail server name for these ?
What mail client are you using ?, and have you altered any of the account settings ?

Smtp not working on iOS

I recently moved to an ISP called greengeeks (good move), but I have had problems configuring mail on my Mac, iPad and iPhone. Or rather, it works on the Mac but not on the iPad and iPhone. The message makes a wooshing noise, but it is neither in Sent or Outbox.
The configuration instructions for an iPhone are at http://kb.greengeeks.com/2188/how-to-setup-email-on-the-iphone/
The key bits are
host: mail.domainname
SSL off
Authentication: Password
Server port 26
I'm wondering if the problem is authentication, because every time I go back to check the settings they seem to have lost the choice password, although this always appears at the top of the list of choises.
I've tried all the standard stuff like deleting the three email accounts affected and starting over again, deleting the smtp settings, rebooting my iPad. Since the settings work on my Mac but not on either iPad or iPhone, I'm wondering if it is an ios issue. (My iCloud mail smtp works OK, but then, iOS is set up to make this amazingly simple.)
Could anyone throw any light - or suggestions - on my problem? I don't think I can face another evening of reconfiguring and testing.

While you were typing I tried out putting in the -optional - username and password into smtp. That does seem to have solved the problem of authentication disappearing (which is what you are referring to?). Silly of me to have missed that!
But -smtp is still not working. Still whooshing into the ether without trace. I'll try some rebooting now.
Minutes later. I've rebooted and its worked!
So, memo to self - read and reread the instructions (and dont rely on past knowledge) and final action: reboot.
Thank you for your quick response AmishCake.

SMTP not working with ATT

Is AT&T stopping support for MacMail?
Reading email is fine, but connecting to the SMTP servers are not working.
Tech support tells me they are no longer supporting email clients and cannot help with this issue.

As far as I can tell from the communication between the mail client and the SMTP server the ATT SMTP servers does not respond to the client's liking to a HELO request. It is possible the ATT servers will not accept requests from a private IP, but that is not the normal computing environment for a home.

Impossible to delete POP accounts from iCloud keychain and SMTP not working

Hello,
After an aborted Mavericks clean install, I reverted to Mountain Lion via Time Machine and started experimenting with iCloud Keychain on Mavericks using trashable Virtual Machines.
I am hitting two serious problems with email accounts :
1. I turned on iCloud keychain ONLY on my Mavericks test installs (not on my iOS device)
2. First time I turned it on and used my usual AppleID, the test install retrieved all my email accounts (I have many of all types)
3. I could not make password SMTPS work on any IMAP accounts, so I decided to delete ALL email accounts from my iCloud Keychain
4. When you ask to delete an email account, it asks if you want to delete it from ALL your accounts, whoch is what I did (make a clean slate)
5. Of all the accounts I have, I have two old disabled POP3 accounts. I deleted them as every other one (including FB, Twitter, LinkedIN, Exchange, ...)
Every time I set up a new test install with iCloud keychain enabled, these two POP accounts continue to show up on the list.
Every time I delete them again from ALL keychains they disappear, but anytime I launch Mail they come back, and if I delete them again, and then I add a new email account they come back.
No way to delete them from ALL keychains
And BTW user/password SMTP on SSL for IMAP accounts does not work for me. It fails all the times on my postfix server.
So, my issues are :
- iCloud keychains seems unstable with email accounts (probably with POP accounts only)
- SMTP over SSL with user/password doesn't seem to work
Anybody hit the issue ? For me is a severe showstopper for Mavericks and iCloud keychains
Best
Luca

Restore it as new. Why wouldn't you do that when purchasing a used device from another individual?

SMTP not working properly in Leopard mail

Hello all,
I have upgraded to Leopard on all of my machines (yeah, I'm that kind of fanboy <grin>) and my corporate email (Exchange 2003) is working just fine over IMAP/SMTP on all of my machines except....
On my Mac Pro 8-core box, it is failing to successfully send messages over SMTP that have attachments.
I have deleted and recreated my email accounts on this machine and compared them (using the handy dandy new screen sharing tool in Leopard!) item for item to those on my functioning perfectly MacBook Pro.
On the exact same network I can send messages just fine on the MacBook Pro but cannot send messages with attachments on the Mac Pro. I can send messages on the Mac Pro that don't have attachments until they get over a certain size (not sure exactly where that is yet). This made me think it might be an MTU problem on my Ethernet card. I fiddled with that to no avail. I also saw someone on a board in .AU suggesting that I turn of IPV6 on the interface. That didn't work either.
In the "Mail Activity" pane in the UI (which I like by the way) it gets about halfway through the upload of the new message with an attachment and then it slows way down (to zero) and periodically twitches around like it is sending something but always drops back to zero at about the halfway point. Finally it gives up and suggests that I use a different SMTP server.
Dropping and recreating the .Mac account on this machine fixed SMTP to that server but the same "fix" didn't work for my IMAP account.
Since I can send short messages, I won't buy any suggestions that I have my authentication wrong or that there is a problem with the mail server (why does it work fine on my MacBook Pro) or that something might be screwy with my LAN (the MacBook Pro works fine).
To me, this screams some sort of bug or corrupted file from the Leopard upgrade.
Oh, one other thing I tried was creating a new user account and setting up Mail from scratch over there. No joy - same issue.
One final thing, nothing interesting happening in Console either.
Any help would be appreciated before I "scorched earth reinstall" this beast and start rebuilding my life.
Thanks in advance,
Bryan

Bryan,
I am on the same boat. Here is my case. Mail 3.0 attempts to request TCP port 465 (why not 25) to my ISP's SMTP server. A dialog box from Mail 3.0 indicates that I should consider to use other SMTP server. I sent some via ".mac.com" which is a trial service.
The message says;
The server “mail.222.rrrr.ne.jp” refused to allow a connection on port 465.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click.
Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be delivered...
But this is very strange if the architecture do not use TCP/25 port.
The below is a flow of an outgoing mail packet which I captured with FrameSeer.

HT1277 Mac Mail receiving but not sending. smtp not working

I have been using Mac Mail with my Gmail account without any trouble for the last few years and just for the last 2-3 weeks I cannot send any e-mails. I am receiving without any problems, but no matter what I do it won't send, not even an e-mail to myself. My Calendar is set up to send my notifications and those won't even go. I have verified my settings (time and time again), I deleted and reset-up my account, in the last two weeks I have done everything I can, but can't figure it out so I am getting kind of desperate. I am sure that it is something to do with smtp but all of my settings for that are right too (in accordance to the Gmail and Apple sites). What I have done is just read and responded to my e-mails (when I do it offline) and then I have to log into my gmail account and copy/paste ALL of my e-mails manually, which I am sure you can imagine is extremely inefficient. Thank you to anyone who can help!
Running Mac OS X 10.6.8 with Mail 4.5 and accessing Gmail

Here is a screen shot too, not that it says much, but this is what I always get, no matter the settings (since they are all correct! OH! I guess I should also mention that I currently live in Africa and that I am using my Blackberry Bold as a modem to get internet on my computer, but I have been doing that since last year and never had a problem until now.
Also, I did just very recently (as in a couple weeks ago), insert a new modem to my computer to try a second method of getting the internet on my computer other than my phone, and it didn't really work so I am back to just the phone again... would that simple installation have anything to do with Mail not sending e-mail? I can't imagine that it would, But I have seen stranger things.

SMTP not working for Mail. Works on iphone and smartermail.

So my SMTP server randomly stopped working today. It claims "Cannot send message using the server.. The server "smtp.xxxx.xxx" cannot be contacted on the deafault ports"
I have tried deleting the SMTP server, quitting mail, reopening mail, re-setting up the server and but haven't had any results.
I can still send mail on my iphone and I can still send mail using SmarterMail (webmail.xxxx.xxx) using this same smtp address.

We are having the exact problem with our smtp outgoing mail too for the last couple of days. Each and every time we attempt to send outgoing mail, we get an error that the server is not available. IF we select "try again later," sometimes we will discover that the email doe sin fact get sent...eventually...but not always.
The problem actually started about a week ago when mail would periodically not send. Now the OSX 10.5.8 mail app shows all of our outgoing servers as being offline. Settings have been double and triple checked, changed to custom port, non-SSl, with SSL, automatic, re-input passwords, rebuilt mailboxes. Nothing so far as worked. Even went to AOL's website and did the image verification as a last resort, but nada.
We can send using webmail, just not from within the OSX email app. We're thinking about switching over to Entourage that is part of Office 2008, which we have. This can not go on since we rely on email for both work and personal communications.
As an aside, I'm not sure if I can send email using my ipod touch hooked to wifi...will try to see if problem is replicated there, as in theory it should be.
WHy doesn't Apple step up and contribute to this discussion? This appears to be a problem that has occurred in the past with updates,t oo.

Outgoing smtp not working on Pro

Hello folks,
I have passed the last month talking with tech support from my service provider and from my email account with no luck so I turn to you. I have read all the post I could find and all the google searches I could think of and still nothing. My service provider has made me try to use 4 different smtp server without anyluck.
So first my phone and setting:
Palm Pro with WM6.1 AKU 1.4.4.0 Build 20765 Platform 2
Provider is Bell in Canada
I have setup my email account and incoming mail (IMAP) works fine, however I run into a problem with my outgoing smtp. I can't seem to make any stmp server work other then gmail. I would use my gmail but then my business email recipents would see emails coming from a different address and this would cause to much confusion. I always get the following error when trying to send emails:
“The message could not be sent. Check that you have network coverage and that your account information is correct. Then try sending again.”
The most promissing articles I read are the following two:
http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/index.php/2008/09/18/windows-mobile-6-1-smtp-issues
http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/index.php/2008/10/15/windows-mobile-smtp-fix
However, I have had no luck with this.
I was wondering if you would have any other ideas of things I could try to slove my outgoing email problem?
Thanks,
Post relates to: Treo Pro T850 (Bell)

Yes. I have deleted the account a billion times. (hehe) I also came so despirate that between changing setting I would delete the account, do a soft reset, and then try a new setting and still nothing.
There most be a problem with the software somewhere because even my service provider default smtp doesn't work. (mail.1xbell.ca)
Any other ideas????

Outgoing SMTP not working

I have Tiscali broadband and am having problems getting Mail to work on Leopard. I have been able to get my emails that were on the server, but am not able to send any messages. The error message I get is;
Connections to the server “smtp.tiscali.co.uk” on the default ports timed out.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
Connection and login to server succeeded. Trying to log into this smtp account failed. Please make sure user name and password are correct.
Of course, they ARE correct! Any ideas anyone? The weird thing is, I am getting my emails fine on my iphone, just not on my desktop.

What Port should it be using. In the update of Mail to 3.5, a new default list came into being -- it can make mistakes, sometimes. In Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information click on the arrows beside the name of the SMTP and choose Edit List. Then choose the Advance tab in that window, choose Use Custom Port and use the Port and type of Authentication you know it should be using.

SMTP not working-- connect to 127.0.0.1:10023: Connection refused

A couple of days ago, after turning off and on spam filtering using Server Admin, mail stopped being received for all users on the OS X Server 10.4.8 machine. I have tried stopping and restarting the mail service, restarting the server, restoring lots of files in /etc/ to how they were last week, with no change. All new mail is refused, and there are hunderds of mails in the queue that can't be delivered.
- how can I get it working again?
- how can I recover the mail in the queue? Where is the queue stored?
The SMTP log has entries like:
Feb 11 21:13:47 Woomera-Xserve postfix/qmgr[130]: F3AB8D44CB8: to=<[email protected]>, orig_to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=177778, status=deferred (delivery temporarily suspended: transport is unavailable)
Feb 11 21:14:56 Woomera-Xserve postfix/smtpd[254]: warning: problem talking to server 127.0.0.1:10023: Connection refused
and amavisd.log has entries like the following, which I think mean it is not running:
Feb 11 20:47:56 Woomera-Xserve.local /usr/bin/amavisd[943]: SpamControl: initializing Mail::SpamAssassin
Feb 11 20:47:57 Woomera-Xserve.local /usr/bin/amavisd[943]: SpamControl: done
Feb 11 20:49:24 Woomera-Xserve.local /usr/bin/amavisd[943]: Net::Server: 2007/02/11-20:49:24 Server closing!
Any ideas would be very welcome! I have no command-line experience with mail, having done almost all previous admin using Server Admin.

Based on what you are saying, it looks like Amavis is failing for some reason. So the good news is that your server is still receiving mail. It's trying to pass that mail to Amavis for processing, but then it's finding Amavis shut down. So, it's sticking mail in the queue and waiting until you get Amavis back up and running. Don't worry about that mail queue. It's doing what it's supposed to -- storing the mail until you can get your system back up.
Let's first verify that Amavis is or is not running.
Make sure that your content filter is turned on. Verify that "Scan email for junk mail" and "Scan email for viruses" are checked in Server Admin --> Mail --> Settings --> Filters and then save those settings.
Then, do the following:
Quit Server Admin
Open Terminal and issue the following ...
sudo serveradmin stop mail
[give it half a minute to shut down]
sudo serveradmin start mail
[give it a half minute to start up]
Then issue ...
ps -U clamav
You should have several processes running under the "PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND" header (post the results here on the forum). If you do have processes running, everything is probably alright. If not, issue ...
postconf -n
and post the results here.

I have not tested this as the Camera I need to work on is 75 miles away.
"Send and Receive Windows Live Hotmail emails from a Mail Client
7531 of 14889 people found this solution helpful.
This solution article describes how to set up your Windows Live Hotmail POP3 account in an email client to send and receive emails.
Here’s the information to configure your account on your preferred e-mail client:
- POP3 Server: pop3.live.com (port 995)
- SMTP Server: smtp.live.com (port 25)
Note: If port 25 has been blocked in your network or by your ISP, you can set SMTP port to 587 with TLS or SSL Encryption depending on the client in use
Please make sure to check the box that indicates that your outgoing server requires authentication (in most e-mail clients, this is not checked by default).
- Username: your full e-mail address
- Password: your Windows Live ID password

If you need more details please let me know.
