-Reinstalling Thunderbird
-Deleting my Thunderbird profile and re-adding it (many times)

I receive emails just fine, sending is the problem. I've had this problem for a few months now and it's getting really annoying.

The actual error message:

The only thing I got from the log:
0[220f140]: SMTP Connecting to: smtpout.secureserver.net
I am using a DSL Modem, however I'm in Germany using Telekom. The modem is a Speedport 724v (pretty restrictive in general), which is actually a modem/router combo (I hate them but there was no other option).
After doing a port scan this is what I've found (hopefully this is accurate):

From these results, I tried this but still nothing:

Thank you for your time!
Edit: I also do use FTP (FileZilla, assuming it uses port 21) and I have no issues.

All of a sudden I cannot Forward emails in TB 31.1.2 - I get SMTP timeout error

And I've tried everything. Shutdown Emsisoft virus prot., turned off firewall, got into Verizon router (btw, I'm going right into the Verizon router-not thru a switch), no port forwarding, even tried to forward an email in Safe mode in Win 8.1 x64. This just happened. I can Write an email OK (i.e., from scratch), but just forwarding, even a small text message won't forward. I even installed an older version of TB. HELP! HELP!
I either get the SMTP timeout error or I get "check your email and messaging settings." My wife has the exact same setup in TB 31.1.2 but she uses Win 7 x86. -gg

This has been reported as [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1060901 Bug #1060901]. If you have an account on Bugzilla, please consider voting for that issue.
Several other people have sent in the same support request as you, noting this happened after they upgraded to version 31.1.
The exact error message is: XXXX is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the e-mail.
'''This happens in Thunderbird 31.1.0 when your mailing list description includes several words separated by spaces.'''
Although not ideal, these workarounds should let you use your mailing lists until a proper fix is implemented:
* While composing an email open the address book and select the list you are trying to send to, highlight all the names in the list and drag them to the To: box. This uses your existing data without modifying it.
* Replacing the blanks " " between the words in such lists' descriptions with an underscore "_". This requires modifying your mailing list(s) description(s).
'''About automatic updates'''
Automatic updates are the default in Windows.
You can [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configuration-options-updates?esab=a&s=automatic+updates&r=1&as=s customize such behavior], however, it's under '''Tools > Options > Advanced > Update'''.
My suggestion would be to set it to '''Check for updates, but let me choose wether to install them.''', specially if you depend on email for critical / important business or personal matters.

Cannot send mail from apple mail or outlook- HELP- tried everything on Google- nothing works!

Getting really disheartened after the thrill of getting a brand new iMac!
I cannot get my email to work on Apple Mail or Outlook (which I pay for) at all!
I can get the messages but not send any- and I have honestly tried EVERYTHING to get it to work- all port changes etcetc
Someone has mentioned you can change a smtp relay number which may be set to 0 as a default with Mac!
I have been a PC for years so I am not sure what to do here and there is no tutorial that makes any sense on google.
Someone please help me before I burst into flames!
This is a work account and not being able to send emails doesnt help me.
Ps- the email still works on old pc laptop and my android phone.
Thanks

Set up ipod touch to cox email, ive tried everything and cant get it to work. thanks!

set up ipod touch to cox email, ive tried everything and cant get it to work. thanks!

Here's an answer from the net:
Go to Settings/Mail,contacts,calendars/Add account choose other, choose Add Mail Account. Fill in name, email address, password and description on the screen that comes up. Save those.
One the next screen tat comes up click om POP in the first line then fil in the host name as
spop.west.cox.net or spop.east.cox.net or the one to go with your region.
Note that is not a misprint, that is spop (secure pop)
Fill in your username one more time (the password should have carried over from previously)
Fill in your outgoing mail server like smtp.west.cox.net (change for your region) and click Save.
When all the settings are verified a checkmark will appear next to them all and you are good to go.
If it says something like "can't connect via SSL would you like to ..." then you probably missed the step about selecting POP on the second screen and are trying IMAP so go back and try over with POP. Or perhaps mistyped soemthing.
Once everything is working you can go back into the settings and see that it has automatically connected on port 995 and that SSL is on
Note that you probably won't be able to send email from a wifi in a cafe or similar as cox won't let you connect to their smtp from outside their network.
I haven't tried receiving mail from a non cox connected wifi yet but I suspect it will work just fine. Anyway these settings work for me using my ipod to my home wifi router connected to cox.
I could not find a definitive guide when I searched so I hope this helps other folks trying to configure this.
I got the spop from "Mail for Mac OS X 10.5 configure SSL / POP" here:

Setting the JavaMail properties especially: mail.smtp.timeout

Hello,
I am desperately trying to set the mail.smtp.timeout on a Spring JavaMailSenderImpl.
Here is what I undertook:
<bean id="mailSender" class="org.springframework.mail.javamail.JavaMailSenderImpl">
<property name="host" value="${mail.server}"/>
<property name="port" value="${mail.port}"/>
<property name="javaMailProperties">
<props>
<prop key="mail.smtp.connectiontimeout">1000</prop>
<prop key="mail.smtp.timeout">1000</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
The javaMailProperties seem to be completely ignored by my Java Mail implementation. Can anyone please help?
If I can't set this property through Spring, how can I set it?
Thanks in advance,
Julien.

I notice the API documentation for com.sun.mail.smtp says that property should be an int. Is it possible that Spring doesn't know that, and sets it as a String by default? And that you should be specifying the property type somehow?
Note: I know nothing about Spring except what it's for. This is just speculation.

Tried everything but cannot get Mail to send on one account

I know this is a wide reaching subject and I've been trawling all the web for a solution for past 48hrs and have tried everything but still cant get mail to send or connect to SMTP server for one set of accounts!!!
I am running Lion on iMac and it's fully up to date. I am using Mail for iCloud a/c, some hotmail a/c's and a Company domain with various email accounts, this is the problem one. I cannot for the life of me get the Comapny accounts to send mail, the same accounts are on iPad and Iphone and working fine but on Mail - no chance. I have:
deleted accounts and set up again
tried POP and IMAP
Tried different ports
tried different securitity levels
Deleted .plist file
Removed passwords from keychain
deleted all assocoiated Mail files to create "fresh" app
repaired disk permissions
Deleted again and reset again - over and over
Used a friends MBP and accounts worked fine!!
What is going on? I shut iMac down as I was on holiday for 2 weeks, when I got home booted up and thats when the issues started, nothing changed at all in terms of iMac settings, internet etc etc. VERY WEIRD! Especially as seems fine on iPhone & iPad.
Would appreciate any help but please note I have tried all the basic type repairs as listed.

Hi Glenn's
I am in the UK and had a similar problem. Ii eventually found the problem was due to my BT Home Hub Router. Not sure where you live, but of you are in the UK, this might work for you.
I found this fix below on https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4604180?start=15&tstart=0
It worked for me. If you can't link to the URL, here is the body of the text
There's an issue related to the BT homehub that is providing a hostname that is "syntactically incorrect" for several smtp server.
Here's how you can fix it.
Using your internet browser, go to the address "192.168.1.254
- Follow instructions to reset your password if asked.
- Then go to "Settings", then "Advanced Settings" and "home network"
You will see there all the devices that are connected or that has been connected before. It's gonna be easyer if yout computer is the only one connected.
Your computer should have a name like "unknown-xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ...
Click on this name, chose another name without any special characters, like "macbook" for exemple.
And then click on "apply"
- restart your computer.
That should fix the issue.
Credit goes to vincentfromcork for providing me with the solution.
Hope it works for you. If it does, spread the word ;-)

When attempting to open email I repeatedly get a message that my username or password is incorrect. I have tried everything to reconcile including deleting and reopening the account however nothing has worked.

If it is a POP account, there could be an issue with the outgoing server setting. It will not hurt to check this and make sure. 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.

HT1212 Ive tried everything and my ipod still will not unlock, it goes back to the disabled screen

Ive tried everything that apple has told me to do, but the ipod is still disabled!

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer

Hi Guys,
I am using the full width video widget on a site. The widget was working perfectly however I have just added additional content to the site and re-uploaded and now the video is not working! Please help I have tried everything and am freaking out as this web-site has been payed for by my client.

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

Error message withg sync, tried everything, nothing helped. Please help me.

Gets error message "Attempting to copy to the disk "Ipod" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to". It will put on about 15-30 songs before displaying this message, and can fully sync but it takes forever because i have to press "ok" than "sync" every 15-30 songs. already tried to send it back for a warranty replacement but they said there is nothing wrong. i tried everything, restored, zeroed out ipod disk, reloaded itunes, and all over again about 10 times

Ran into the same error message while attempting to synch an iTunes purchased movie to my son's 5th Gen Video iPod from my G5 Tower (OSX 10.4.11). Here's what worked:
Restored his iPod to factory settings. Noticed that this included having the iPod enabled for disk use (this box was not checked previously -- when we were getting the error message). Reselected which playlists and videos to synch, applied the synch settings, then waited (with crossed fingers and a few prayers to boot!). It worked. No error messages.
Note: the iPod synch cable is plugged directly into one of the USB2 ports on the back of the G5 tower -- not into one on the 3rd party PCI expansion cards I installed to add more USB2 & Firewire ports (not sure if this is relevant, but it seems so based on your discussion thread here). Hope this helps.

IPOD not being seen in ITunes...I have tried everything - please help!!

Okay, so I have tried everything listed on Apple's website to get my IPOD to be recognized in ITUNES. When I plug my IPOD into the USB port, the "do not disconnect" screen pops up. Nothing happens in ITUNES. Windows Vista pops up and says "Do you want me to scan and fix the IPOD F: drive?" Either selection doesn't do anything. I have tried the 5 R's from apple. I have tried to download every update available etc. I have tried to even go in and update the driver. However Vista is telling me that I have the most up to date version of everything. When my IPOD isn't connected to the PC, everything seems normal - except for the fact that there is no music or anything on it. But all menus are available and accessbile. Can anyone suggest what to do here? I am at a loss. Please help!! Thanks.

Yes, I'm having the same problem. If I connect my iPod to my laptop while iTunes is open, the 'Do not disconnect' sign appears, the battery does not charge, and my iPod doesn't appear either in iTunes or on my desktop. Since it doesn't appear in either of these places, I have to ignore the 'do not disconnect' sign and disconnect anyway. If I then reset my iPod, quite iTunes and reconnect iPod to laptop, everything's fine - iTunes opens, and recognizes the iPod. I guess this isn't the end of the world, since I can simply avoid ever connecting my iPod to my laptop while iTunes is open, but is this normal?

IPhone 4 Won't Charge. Tried Everything

Hey Everyone,
Well, I'm about to rip my hairs out of my freaking head. Sunday night at 8 o'clock. About to climb into bed and watch a little TV. Plug my iPhone in. Boom. Nothing. Try again for another 10 minutes until eventually it powers down due to low battery. It is now 12:30 at night and still no luck. I've tried everything.
Holding the Home and Sleep button just makes it flash the icon that says it needs charged. My cords are fine, they work with my iTouch. Occasionally it will show the charging symbol for a split second, then it's back to the plug sign. I'm so tired and so frustrated with this. ANy help will be greatly appreciated. I need my phone to work. I'm charging it through a cord that is connected to a iHome. I've tried wall chargers and my computer. Nothing. THe iPhone looks like it dosn't even recognize that there is a USB in it. PLEASE HELP ME.

Inspect the charging port area for dirt/debris/fluff build-up that may be preventing a good connection and use a wooden toothpick, soft clean toothbrush, or a can of compressed air to clean it. Also look for bent or broken pins. Try another cable and/or charger block (be sure to always use a genuine Apple certified brand) in a known good outlet. If you're using a USB port, try another port. If you're using a hub, try a direct connection. If you're using a USB port in the front of a desktop computer, try one in the back. If all these fail, make an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar to have the device evaluated.
