SMTP Settings Mail.App 10.9?

Where are SMTP settings in Mail.app for Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9?
Before, it was in Mail menu -> Accounts... -> <email account> -> Advanced. But no longer...

dianeoforegon:
You are correct, the SMTP settings are available in Mail menu -> Preferences -> Accounts.
But if you go to Mail menu -> Accounts..., they are not.
Thanks.

SMTP settings - Mail Accounts

Hi,
I'm re-installing Leopard on my MacBook Pro from zero.
Got a backup on an external HD.
Need to know where the:
- info regarding smtp servers is stored - had 22 different smtp settings for several locations (filename/extension)
- info regarding Mail Accounts
Thx,
Cheers,

Hi,
I know that the SMTP server settings are correct as they work correctly for the work email account. The home account (that is not working) uses these same settings.
In the iPad OS when you go into the Mail settings and click through to the menus to get to the SMTP servers there is a primary smtp server specified this is globally used across all the mail accounts. As I say I know that my settings for this are correct as it works for the work account.
I have however taken your advice and confirmed with my service provider and re-entered all the smtp settings to this primary server and the iPad confirms that all the details are verified, however I still get the same problem with the work emails sending correctly and the home ones stuck in the outbox. To me it appears that the problem is not with logging onto the smtp server the problem is with the iPad actually sending the message to server.
Any other suggestions?

SMTP settings populating Mail.app

Hi All,
I've set up SLS Mail to serve up incoming email via IMAP and relay outgoing email through my ISP's SMTP server. The configuration is nicely replicated to the client and Mail App on the client machine picks this up. Now, the IMAP port is forwarded and so is accessible outside the firewall, however, I don't want to forward SMTP and would rather the clients use a different SMTP altogether. I can't find anywhere to set up the configuration for a different SMTP server in Server Admin and from my Googling I figure this needs to be done by modifying a plist file somewhere in SLS and/or using MCX properties. I cannot set up the config in Mail App as this constantly gets overwritten by what is coming from the server. Can anyone point me to where I can modify these settings in SLS so that I clients can use an SMTP server at a different address from the POP/IMAP server? Apple's documentation is not helpful at all in this area.
Some help would be greatly appreciated.

Oops, I meant I can only "send" mail via Thunderbird, not "recieve".

Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac. Tried every settings, My iCloud only works with Mail.app

Can't sign in using any 3rd party email client with my iCloud account on any Mac or any other Mac. My iCloud will only work with Mail.app. All the clients I tried work perfectly well as long as I sign in with somebody else's iCloud account. But mine won't work no matter the client (Postbox, Unibox, Airmail...) and no matter the computer.
I can access my account on iCloud.com, but I can't use email clients without getting error messages prompting me to check my password or login.
I was able to use those clients in the past but a couple of months ago I got logged out of Airmail and the issue started just like that!
I tried every possible mail server settings including the following:
IMAP information for the incoming mail server
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
Port: 993
Username: The name part of your iCloud email address (for example, emilyparker, not [email protected])
Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP information for the outgoing mail server
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
If you receive errors when using SSL, try using TLS instead.
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: Your full iCloud email address (for example, [email protected], not emilyparker)
Password: Your iCloud password

Those are the correct settings, and they work with any email client that supports Imap.
Try again.

Can't send mail with powerbook G4, mail.app, mac OS 10.5.8 and verizon smtp server.

We just made the switch to Verizon.
Setting up Mail.app with my relatively new MacBook Pro (and OS 10.8.4) was very smooth.
Not so with my wife's old PowerBook G4 running 10.5.8, which she inherited from my daughter.
It seems to set up fine, using the same settings for the servers as on the MBP (it has to be done manually), but it is unable to send mail (via the verizon smtp server). The Connection Doctor thing does not have any trouble finding the servers and connecting.
I get the "The sender address [email protected] was rejected by the server smtp.verizon.net." message.
These settings work when sending email from this verizon account from her iphone, or from my MBP.
I successfully set up my .me email account on the G4 and that was able to send mail.
Couldn't find anything online to shed light on this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Your asking peers here.
You didn't say which settings you were trying to use. Lots of people are posting about switching over to the latest EMAIL settings which include pop.verizon.net and smtp.verizon.net as the servers. However it has invariably been a mistake they are making or a special requirement of there DEVICE such as a shutdown and restart.
You should take a look at http://verizon.com/emailsettings . There are both the manual settings and some automatic trouble shooters that may be able to setup your device.

Mail.App eMail Settings for OS X Mavericks

Having recently experinced several issues with the Mail App using outllook.com eMail accounts, I became frustrated after attempting the many different types of server settings suggestions foating around online, none of which seemed to fix the problem, in fact one particular server setting suggestion for the "Incoming server" (s.outlook.com) caused the Mail App to crashj on several ocassions.
Prior to installing this update, it is rocommened to back up your date.
1) Open the Mail App then select Mail--Preferences--then once the box opens, select the Blue @ icon for account information.
2) Select the last oprion
"Add other mail account"
3) Select the IMAP option and input your details, Name, email address and password.
4) INCOMING MAIL SERVER is
imap-mail.outlook.com
5) The 2 boxes, (Enable this account & Use only this server should both be ticked.
7) OUTGIONG SERVER
smtp.live.com
Port : 993
Use SSL : Ticked
Authentication : password
Use IDLE command if the server supports it : Ticked
All other boxes should be ticked.
I have several outllook email account, both outllook.com & outlook.com.au, and they all work pefectly now.

I have exactly the same settings done automatically but sometimes I just don't recieve the email. While my iPhone have recieved it a few hours earlier, my Mac with Mavericks haven't. I, sometimes, have to put the account offline and then back online in order to get new mail. Doesn't happen always but still does and it's quite boring.

Mail.app: Select outgoing (SMTP) server per message?

Dear community members,
I'm looking for a solution to the following problem:
I do have multiple e-mail accounts which are configured in the following way: One of them is the master account (let's say [email protected]) added to Mail.app as a POP account. The other ones (let's call them [email protected] and [email protected]) are on different servers and are configured to forward all incoming mail to [email protected] They are, however, not added to Mail.app as additional accounts. That is because it's not necessary for receiving mail with these addresses, since all incoming mail is forwarded to [email protected], anyway, and therefore immediately available in Mail.app.
The problem arises when sending e-mails within Mail.app. I can easily add all three addresses in the "Mail" > "Settings" > "Accounts" settings window by entering them in the e-mail-address-field separated by comma (e.g. "[email protected], [email protected], [email protected]“). This allows me to select the desired outgoing address on a per-message basis in the compose window.
There is, however, a problem with this: This setting means that mail from all three addresses is being sent using the same SMTP server. This can cause problems for domains that do have SPF-records, for example. Therefore, I'd very much prefer to not only select the outgoing mail address on a per-message-basis, but also the SMTP-server I'd like to use. Since Mail.app allows me to add multiple SMTP servers in the account's settings window, I believe there has to be a way to select which one to use on a per-message-basis? Whenever there's a problem with an SMTP-server, a window opens up asking me which of the alternative SMTP servers I'd like to use, instead. This indicates that this function exists – it's just far from obvious for me where to find it in a normal usage scenario.
Does anyone have an idea? Any hint is welcome!
Thanks
Nick

That has nothing to do with it. I ended up working around the problem by changing the account name.
But I still think this is a bug, so I won't mark the topic as answered (a workaround is not the solution).

OS X's Mail app and SMTP auth

We're having a problem with OS X's Mail app connecting to Tiger Server's mail server. We have the server set up to not always require SMTP auth (all SMTP auth settings unchecked in Settings > Advanced > Security), and to allow relay from only a given set of networks (Settings > Relay). In theory, this means that if you're on one of the specified networks, you're not required to authenticate, otherwise you are. This according to Apple's documentation.
From a bit of packet sniffing, it looks like:
1. If a user on an allowed network tries to send mail through the server, the server does not return authorization as an option.
2. If the user has password authentication specified in Mail's SMTP Server settings, it refuses to send. If they set SMTP auth to None, the Mail app will send.
IOW, Mail doesn't send if Authorization is enabled in the Mail app, but not given as an option by the mail server. Has anyone else seen this? Is this a bug in Mail or Postfix?

If you have networks entered in
'Accept SMTP relay only from these hosts and
networks'
Clients on these networks don't need to authenticate
for local delivery or relay.
So it does what you are looking for.
Jeff
Well, goddarn it - so it does!
I was testing various permutation (10.3.4) just recently and it just wouldn't relay without auth if any of them was selected (honest!). That was with the trusted relay....
...but I just tried it again and it's fine!
I had put it down to just another 'glitch' in the documentation.
Oh well - glad you were there to point it out Jeff!
Whilst we are on the subject - do you know of any way to tie authentication (outwith trusted network) to specified users? I was thinking there might be a Postfix parameter for this (sorry, I should just look them all up but maybe someone knows it already)?
Thank, and sorry for any earlier confusion!

Cannot edit outgoing SMTP server list in mail.app

Did a fresh install of Snow Leopard on a new 13" Macbook Pro unibody and was trying to add an IMAP email account. After failing to connect, I was trying to specify the outgoing port and realized that I could not edit the outgoing SMTP server list.
Steps to reproduce error:
1. Open mail.app
2. Go to Mail > Preferences
3. Select "Accounts" tab and select any mail account
4. Select "Account Information" tab and click Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) drop down menu
5. Select "Edit SMTP Server List..."
After that point the instead of opening the list of servers with their settings, it simply returns to the "Account Information" screen. I'm a bit confused because I've never had this happen before in any other version of mail app. I cannot edit or delete any outgoing mail server accounts because of this. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration.

This should not happen. Had you migrated back to the fresh install the Mail folder in User-Library? Or is this a clean setup? I would go to User-Library-Preferences, and drag the com.apple.mail.plist to the trash, then open Mail and try again.

Check SMTP SETTINGS:tap settings:mail, contacts, calendars: no respons, dead

check SMTP SETTINGS (iPad1): tap settings: mail, contacts, calendars: NO RESPONS! THE SCREEN FREEZES AND BLOCKS!!! I've aready done a hard reset but no actions when I tap settings: mail-contacts-calendars. HELP !!

Since two days ago, my battery indicator has been indicating 100% until the phone dies, which seems to be one of the symptoms you're describing.
However, I don't use Push emails; my email client is configured to poll an imap server and has been that way since I got my phone over 6 months ago. To be on the safe side, I turned off Push anyway, but I'm still having the problem. Definitely 3.0 related as I've never had this problem before.
Perhaps it's linked to an app? Personally I don't have a whole lot of them installed: Aurora Feint, fstream, twitterific, flixster, wikipanion, google earth, urbanspoon, STM Mobile, iDicto, Air Sharing, Facebook and Apple Remote. I've removed a few and will see how it goes.

SMTP settings not working on Apple Mail but work on other email clients like Sparrow

Apple mail constantly gives me "Could not connect to SMTP server" while other email clients have not problem connecting to the same server using the same credentials. And yes I've checked my login name / pw. many times. Same exact settings on all clients. Everything works, while Apple Mail doesnt. I've been using Apple Mail app for a while with my other accounts. For some reason here, it can't connect. Any ideas?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Mail goes "offline" in AOL's smtp settings

I have three e-mail accounts in my Mail 4.4 app. The POP accounts for ATT and MSN work fine but AOL's IMAP settings have suddenly started acting up. I can still receive e-mail on the AOL account but whenever I try to send an e-mail the AOL account suddenly goes "offline." It continues to show "online" in the menu's "online status" but shows "offline" in the account preferences and after vainly trying to send the message for a couple of minutes the mail application posts a window that tells me I cannot use that server and should try later or try another.
Since I am not a paid AOL user but simply take advantage of its free e-mail service, I cannot even call their tech support to find out what the problem is. I assume it's on AOL's end but has anyone else experienced this?

I have trashed my AOL account and recreated it in various ways in Mail prefs. According to AOL's latest settings instructions, they have both POP and IMAP servers for receiving mail, using SSL is optional, SMPT set to port 587 for outgoing mail, and user name requires the complete e-mail address, i.e. with @aol.com included. I cannot connect to their POP server at all with with or without aol.com in my user name, I can connect to IMAP using the username with or without the aol.com attachdd, and can receive e-mails with or without SS. But SMTP goes "offline" whenever I try to send an e-mail. When SSL is unchecked in the prefs Connection Doctor tells me "connection failed" and to verify my user name and password. When SSL is checked the good doctor tells me the connection failed because of an SSL error and to make sure that AOL's SMTP server can handle SSL. I am completely mystified. AOL worked fine in my Mail app for years before this started happening two days ago, and my ATT and MSN accounts continue to work fine. Is AOL, perhaps, a target of the cyberattacks leveled at various ISPs because of their anti-Wikkileaks stance?

Mail loses SMTP settings

Mountain Lion 10.8.1
I have six email accounts configured in Mail.app (plus one inactive). From time to time, maybe once a day, Mail loses all SMTP settings. Accounts are shown as having no servers linked to them (though the "Use only this server" box is still checked).
One peculiarity is that one of my servers advertises an SSL port, but I can't use that port (long story). When I edit my SMTP server list, the use-SSL box has checked itself. When I uncheck it, and then go through that and the other accounts to re-select their SMTP servers, I can send mail again.
I can dream up an explanation for why this should be the case for that broken server, but I don't understand how that should affect the other accounts (including one Exchange account).
Does anyone have a suggestion for how I can get back to stable behavior? A flaky mail connection makes me nervous.
This did not happen under Lion.

Issues about smtp service of mail.app

Problem replicating:
1. Log in an email account, say Gmail in the system preference.
    --> You can receive and send email in the Mail.app normally.
2. Change password of the email account on website (Gmail).
     --> Fail to receive email in the Mail.app. (Of course...)
3. A window (from system preference) pop-up and tell me I need to enter the new password; and I did.
    --> Doesn't work! The window just keep warning me that the connection cannot be established and keep asking for new password. (Issue One)
4. Well, I delete the entire account in the preference setting; and then, do all the account setting again, using the new password.
   --> Account setting successfully. And the Mail.app seems work properly again (IMAP service function normally).
5. However, if you try to send an email via the Mail.app; it will warn you that the smtp service cannot be connected. (Issue Two)
6. After some research, it seems that the Mail.app still using the old password for smtp service, even I have deleted the entire account from the system!
I am using Yosemite 10.10.1, and all softwares are up-to-date (29.1.2015).

OK, so go into your email app, click on Mail, Preferences, Accounts. Find the account you're looking for and click on it to highlight it. Under "Account Information" the option for Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) there will most likely be an SMTP account selected. Click on the up/down arrow next to it, then choose Edit SMTP server list. From there you can go 2 ways. You can either edit the current server, or delete it and start over and add the SMTP server that will allow you to send mail. You'll need the correct account information for that and the advanced settings, as well. Usually, it's an SSL connection with password as authentication. Your username will most likely be your gmail address and then whatever your password is to receive mail. Do not check the box to allow insecure authentication. Check the box next to "Use SSL."
That should clear it up for you. If you have more than one email account - gmail or otherwise - you'll need to set up a separate SMTP server for each account.
Hope this helps. Happy emailing!

Step by Step Setup Apple OS X.5.8 Mail.app for Verizon's New Security Settings

This is how I have done it (from http://verizon.com/emailsettings)
You'll need the following email settings:
Incoming mail server (POP3): incoming.verizon.net
Incoming Server Port Numbers: 995
Outgoing mail server (SMTP): outgoing.verizon.net
Outgoing Server Port Numbers: 465 Why is this important?
Make sure SSL encryption is enabled for the incoming and outgoing mail server.
In my Mac (a Quicksilver 2002 Dual 1GHz) under Leopard OS X 10.5.8 ...
Mail.app > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced
Choose "Use SSL" ... that changes the Port to 995
I did that for each of my current e-mail Accounts.
Also ...
Mail.app > Accounts > Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) > Edit Server List ...
For each Server Named:
Choose "Use custom port" ... and enter 465
AND
Choose "Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)"
For for the record, "POP3" does not show up as an Incoming Server, only "POP" for my Accounts.
I believe this is what Verizon is asking for ...
{edited for TOS violation}
billycar69, Painter & Jazz Musician
Quicksilver 2002 Dual 1GHz, Digital Audio Dual 533 - OS X 10.5.8 / 10.4.11

Excellent. This works great. I did have to fish around for the actual settings on the outgoing server(s), since that step was missing from your instructions. Thanks for the explanation - I see that Verizon would not supply a Mac explanation (only Windows).
