Still not sending mail tried all

I just got my new Quad Mac Pro and I was totally ready for the mail sending problem. I have been following here for a while and was fairly certain I would not have a problem.
I have a typical cable (Time Warner Road Runner) account and have a gmail address. Auto setup tries to create an IMAP mailbox when I first launched Mail, but I use POP. So I made the changes on the incoming server and immediately got my mail to download. I went to the outgoing server edit list and selected custom port, entered 25, set the authentication to password, included my password.
I was so sure I was on it, but I failed! No send.
I am at a loss, and it is way late. I will try again tomorrow.

As you kids say, you sir are 'The Bom!' That was the entire solution to my problem with a caveat. I made the changes suggested on that page to my account settings and still no joy. I believe that there were some bits of information still lingering in the .plist, so I deleted that after deleting the account. I have an unused account with a .rr.com domain, so I set that up first. I was able to get Mail to let me set up the account manually (an issue with sending the password caused this) With the standard 'custom port 25' setting that account could send mail (and receive all the spam there!)
I then had to fool Mail into letting me setup the new Gmail account manually as well. If I allowed the Mail program to try to set it up, it would try to set it up as an IMAP account, and even with the changes made in the account settings it would not send mail from that account. Again I think it was something being hidden in the .plist that would not go away. So, another deletion of the .plist and tricking Mail into a manual setup by entering a bogus .rr.com account allowed me to create a new account as a POP account.
I made all the settings as suggested by google on your link and BAM, Bob's your Uncle!
Thank you so much. I would have spent hours.
Andy
p.s. Carolyn, that link was for setting up Mail 3, which unfortunately was unhelpful.

  • B110a black in still not working after trying all recommended solutions

    Hi there
    Black ink still not working after spending many hours trying to sort. I've cleaned the printhead carefull several times (is immaculate now) and run the system clean up and alignment functions several many times too. I've cleaned the metal connecting points. I wiggled things carefully. I've attempted printing multiple pages in b/w in case it was going to take a while to get the ink flowing again. I've replaced one (expensive) new black cartridge with another brand new (expensive) cartridge and still nothing. This machine is probably out of warranty but seriously not very old. It really ought to be working okay. We use it regularly a little bit every week. Any ideas?

    The document here has troubleshooting steps that may help resolve black not printing on your Photosmart b110a.  Be sure to check the vents as shown in solution six, step three.  If the above does not resolve the problem the post here may help.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

    I was troubleshooting my own issue noted above and tried to send the attachments via gmail's web interface (bypassing Apple Mail). This time, gmail provided an error message stating that the file contained a virus.
    Since it was a zip of several Word docs, I saved them as PDFs and then rezipped, and Apple Mail sent them off like a champ.
    Evidently, Mail does not have a method for relaying the precise nature of the error message that gmail sends (in this case that the attachment had what gmail thought was a virus). This would be a prime area for some software developers to tackle on a future version of Mail.
    By the way, the files almost certainly do not contain viruses; they are extremely old Word Docs that have been on my successive Mac hard drives for at least 9 years. Too old a format for gmail to recognize?
    Hope this helps someone who may be having the same trouble.

  • Multiple hotmail accounts but one will not send mails and gives no error messages

    I have four hotmail accounts on my iPad (me, kids, wife) and we have all been using them fine however, my wife's hotmail account will not send mails.  I get no error messages at all for this to explain why, it just doesn't reach the intended recipient and does not turn up in the sent mail folder.
    I have deleted the account and re installed using a number of the choices including other outlook and even tried yahooing no change.
    Can anyone assist.
    I am on the latest iOS
    Thanks

    This problem in Mail is usually caused by some Launch Services cache or preferences corruption that affects the built-in spell checker. The following article describes how to manually reset Launch Services — the notes at the bottom of the article also provide information about the side effects of deleting each of the files involved:
    Resetting Launch Services
    If you prefer using a cache cleaning utility instead of following the manual procedure described in the previous article, take a look at this other article for general troubleshooting and cache-cleaning procedures. Actually, you should also verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described there:
    Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
    The most appropriate utility for this particular problem probably is Tiger Cache Cleaner, but you may also want to consider other utilities, such as OnyX, or Cache Out X, which are free. Whatever utility you choose, be sure to read this first:
    Side effects of System cache cleaning
    As an example, this is how you should proceed with OnyX:
    1. Quit all applications.
    2. Launch OnyX and enter your administrator password.
    3. Go to Maintenance > Reset and check LaunchServices database.
    4. Un-check any other pre-checked options.
    5. Click the Execute button.
    6. Restart the computer.

  • One of four email accts will not send mail

    I have a Z. Tablet. I set up four of our business email accts and all will receive mail but one will not send mail. Tried many combinations of smtp addresses but no joy. Consulted my email provider tech guys. They set up using same on another android device and worked for them. They have given up on solving this. It just happens this is the most important mailbox. Anyone offer help to solve?

    What if you use a different email app? perhaps Moxier, K9, Maildroid?

  • Still Cant send mail? HELP PLEASE!

    I am connected to the server.

  • Alert not sending mail even if executed successfully.

    hi all,
    I have created alert in R12 environment. it is periodic alert which will fire everyday.
    There are 2 actions
    1. Run the Concurrent program and insert values emp_no,emp_name,manager_name,manager_mail into custom table.
    2. Send mail to manager_mail containing data like emp_no and emp_name.
    I encapsulated both the action in one action set. Sequencing 1. Concurrent Program ( Detail Level) 2. Send mail (detail level)
    When i am executing alert, it is ending with completed successfully. It is inserting data into custom table but it is not sending mail to manager mail id.
    When i tried to check history, it is showing 'n' number of exceptions, but all those exception are not available in FIND EXCEPTION tab.
    I m not able to find out, what exactly wrong i have done.
    Query is:
    Select emp_no,emp_name,manager_name,manager_mail into
    &l_emp_no,&emp_name,l_manager_name,l_manager_mail from xx_alert_table_data;
    and I am passing &l_manager_mail into 'To' section of send_mail action. it is not containing any null data. all the email address are present in that field.
    please suggest if i m doing anything wrong.

    Just putting the data into tables is not the actual process, performing the connection to the email server and sending email.
    Underneath it's a multilayered process .
    Oracle Alert uses Oracle Workflow Notification mailer for sending requests, which in turn uses mailer program to send mails.
    So, you need first to check the state of Notification mailer then locate logs of the mailer utulity used by these and see whether there were any connection/negotiation errors and what information in header fields has been actually sent.
    To see notification mailer program status change responsibility to Workflow Manager, then go to "Service Components" section and find there Workflow Notification process.
    To find the mailer type, change responsibility to Alert Manager, then go to System->Options and see which mailer is in use.
    Usually on Unix, sendmail is used, so you may easily turn on debug logging and see the mail headers and complete negitiation logs, if you need them.

  • Gmail is not sending mail with files attached

    hey, apple mail serice is sending mail but not sending mail with files atteched.
    Any help?

    Hmm. Looking at the Apple UK support site, it shows a yellow dot for .Mac mail, but says the issue is with incoming mail:
    http://www.apple.com/uk/support/dotmac/
    Not sure if that has anything to do with it or if there are other issues.
    There's also some info at:
    http://www.apple.com/uk/support/dotmac/mail/
    Interestingly enough, they suggest using your ISP's SMTP server for outgoing mail:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Dotmac/Mail/en/mac14.html
    Have you tried that? You should still be able to send as your .Mac email, but have it sent through there instead.

  • Sending mail to all users in Messaging Server 5.2

    Hi,
    I'm trying to send mail to all the users in my mail server, but haven't been able to do it. I'm using a command called deliver which is found in /opt/iplanet/server5/bin/msg/store/bin . I've tried sending messages to all users but have been successful in sending only to one user. Got any ideas??

    To create a dynamic mailing list:
    http://docs.sun.com/source/816-6009-10/users.htm
    If you're familir with ldapmodify, you can locate the user's pab in the directory server, and remove what you find there, but, honestly, I'd talk to the user first.. . .. .
    A user can work around removal of such, very easily. Any mail client, and a copy/paste will do it.

  • Mail will not send mail, only receive.

    I have spent the majority of today re-installing OS X and all necessary updates, music, data after the death of a hard drive. Luckily everything went perfectly, except for the same problem I had with Mail even before the 1st hard drive died. Mail will not send mail, only receive.
    All efforts time out and give me this message: "The connection to the server mail.earthlink.net on port 25 timed out"
    Mail used to send messages, but stopped suddenly in 2004 and has yet to start again. Any idea guys?! I can't figure it out, under Account settings I have necessary fields filled in: Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) is set to "mail.earthlink.net", Server Port is set to 25, and Authentication drop menu is set to None.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    --DANIEL

    This is NOT a problem with Mail or OS X. This is an incorrect settings problem - garbage in = garbage out and this information is certainly available at Earthlink's website and Earthlink also provides technical support.
    Earthlink has an authenticated SMTP server they changed to long ago.
    SMTP Server: smtpauth.earthlink.net
    Server Port: 587 but 25 should work if you are using Earthlink as your internet service provider for connecting to the internet.
    Use SSL: Off or not selected.
    Authentication: MD5 Challenge-Response
    User Name: Your ENTIRE Earthlink email address.
    Password: The account's password - the same password used to check the incoming mail server for new messages.

  • Can Not Send Mail- what's going on?

    Can download mail but can not send mail. With parallels on and xp pro I can easily set up outlook to send and receive mail. But no! The great Apple which is supposed to be easy can not send an email with the same settings. So, back to Windows to do what should be easy on a mac. I think that perhaps the new Safari or something messed this up.

    If you'd like to approach the problem as something you don't understand, and also something that can be fixed, then you'll probably be able to set up your email account.
    You say you have emails in the Outbox. I'd move them to another folder you create or delete them. In past experience, emails contain header information that includes mail server information, and sometimes they will never send (especially with Outlook Express), even if you get the account to work. You can try sending them again, once you get the account working.
    Next, you need to make sure that you are sending the emails from a machine that is connected directly to RoadRunner's network. They may not work as a relay if you connect from another ISP. It's a port 25 problem that is common these days.
    Now for the problem. If you are receiving emails properly, then the POP server information is correct. The mail program is designed to set up to some default settings that work with many servers, and during the process it will try to validate the settings you supply. This can take awhile, and can come up with a failure, due to a wrong assumption. Your email program is assuming that the email server requires authentication. This has been a problem with the RoadRunner system for years. Apparently, some windows email clients do not work the same way, go figure. They seem to have their own problems.
    Many people have reported successfully setting up an account with RoadRunner, after first making sure they have the right SMTP server address. It can be different for different parts of the country.
    After the email account is set up, and is failing to work, people go into the Mail/Preferences/Accounts/Account Information/Outgoing Mail SMTP Server - Click on the dropdown button - Choose "Edit Server List" - Advanced - Change Authentication to "None"
    Here is a related thread with stories of success with RoadRunner: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9128382&
    After the changes, I'd quit and relaunch Mail. Not required, but good troubleshooting practice. Since there are no emails in the Outgoing Mailbox, create a short message and try to send.
    I have different problems with different companies for both Mac's and Windows machines. The ISP always blames the OS, especially Leopard and Vista (since they work with more intelligent/advanced (maybe) settings. Besides the Authentication issue that pops up with some servers, there's also the occasional SSL variation and/or login name (sometimes it's the first part of the email address before the @ and sometimes it's the entire email address). Some ISP's block port 25, some do not. All of these settings can vary with each ISP, and can change on a whim (especially the port 25 problem), with working accounts going dark because of security changes at the ISP. Telephone Tech support at the ISP is often unaware of any changes in their system because they are not in the IT loop at the company and some will just go into "idiot" mode when you mention Macintosh. The first level support people are using a script on the phone, and their job is to make you go away...
    I'm afraid the Great Apple, as you referred to them, is not able or hasn't focused on the ability to automatically set up accounts with every ISP. They appear to have made some assumptions that work with most servers. Who know's, next month the settings or assumptions may work, or Apple may update their setup script to make allowances specific to Time Warner, but since this has been a problem for over 3 years, I wouldn't hold my breath.
    Google: leopard mail roadrunner problem = about 96,000 hits of all sorts.
    Google: vista email roadrunner problem = about 1,410,000 hits of all sorts.
    Google: windows xp email roadrunner problem = 243,000 hits of all sorts.
    Looks like Apple's getting it's market share of problems with RoadRunner and Time Warner
    My own local DSL is from a company named Centurytel. They are on their 4th email server setup in the last 5 years, and have finally contracted it out to a 3rd party company to administer. I just tell all of my clients to get a Gmail account and get over it. Let's see, a multi-billion dollar company who's reputation and income is based on service... free with 7GB storage, Webmail, POP and IMAP access, specific support for all major mail programs including Apple Mail, and alternate ports that get around ISP blocking. It seems that once you enable POP or Imap access in the webmail settings menu, Apple Mail and Vista seem to know the proper settings to use.
    I'd setup the free Gmail account that will work with any ISP you use, before you get really attached to an email account with an ISP that could change as often as competitor's marketing allows. Also, my iPhone supports Gmail out of the box

    Hello,
    Certain Thunderbird problems can be solved by peforming a ''Clean Reinstall''. This means you remove Thunderbird's Program Files then reinstall Thunderbird. Please follow these steps:
    #Download the latest version of Thunderbird from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download is complete, close all Thunderbird windows (Click Exit/Quit from the menu button on the right).
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #** C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\
    #** C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Thunderbird from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Thunderbird with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Thunderbird on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ Thunderbird Download Page], simply remove the folder ''thunderbird'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Thunderbird:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to open Thunderbird after clicking the Finish button.
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Thunderbird's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Thunderbird data, including but not limited to, extensions,emails, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.
