Suddenly unable to send but am receiving

Connection is good but when I attempt to type a reply or compose new mail as soon as I hit the shift or space bar I loose my cursor. Also getting odd type when I use delete or clear keys. I have tried typing a doc in another editor and cut & pasting into mail then sending but I can't send. I am able to compose, reply & send from other computers when I log on thru .mac so I'm guessing that my Mail application is corrupted? Or could it be a keyboard issue? Keyboard works fine in other applications.
Do I have to reload my whole OS X Tiger to reload mail? Is it possible to download just the mail application? Thanks for any thoughts or help.

Open Preferences from within the Mail program and note the exact settings for your email accounts.
Quit Mail
Trash the following file:
your home directory / Library / Preferences / com.apple.mail.plist
and empty the Trash
Restart Mail
Re-install your mail settings
These actions will not interfere with your mailboxes, it will simply create a new plist preference file when you re-start Mail.
As an extra advice: back up your whole Library folder regularly, it contains all your emails.

Earthlink email - Unable to send but can receive

Has anyone figured out how to get mail to send from the New Pre? I have done everything humanly possible including countless hours on the phone with Palm, Earthlink, and Sprint to no avail. I'm able to receive messages but still unable to send. Please help me.
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Have you tried the following earthlink setting for the outgoing server?
smtpauth.earthlink.net, use authentication.
If that doesn't work, use the sprint outgoing server,
smtp.sprintpcs.com, use authentication and no ssl.
For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.

There are links on the page to the user guide, troubleshooting, how to's, downloads, etc.

Unable to send, but can receive email

Having Outlook Express problem.Can receive mail, but not send. Server post settings are POP3 outgoing is 995., and SMTP sending setting is 25. I think that is wrong. What should it be?

These are the correct settings for using email clients like OE with Comcast email-------------------

Comcast no longer supports the use of port 25.

Can send but not receive email

I have contacted my ISP and confirmed my password and settings. I can log on and send but not receive. The emails are on the server. This problem started after I installed the latest apple security update. The isp tech felt everything was ok there and that the problem was due to the security update blocking incoming mail.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks, Dave!
I had the same problem. Could send but not receive, on three email accounts all of which were on the same server. The other four accounts on two different serves worked fine. This was a sudden change and I had not changed any mail prefs for several weeks or anything on the server end in months. I spent 3.5 hours on this this evening, excahnging emails with customer suppert at the server (using the other accounts of course), going through the complicated webstie to check the server configuration, checking the prefs in mail over and over and over, setting up the email on another computer to discover it worked, throwing everything realted to these three accounts out of keychain thinking maybe it had saved an old password.
Came in here to post a plea for help and read your message. The offline bits were set. And the list of accounts under the IN heading had been collapsed (I generally have it open, don't know how it was collapsed) so that I couldn't see the obvious offline indicator. !!!
Thanks again! Where were you 3.5 hours ago?

E71 Imap, can send but not receive

HI all
I received my E71 about a week ago and having major problems configuring it with my work email.
Its an IMAP mail. I can send fine but on most occasions cannot receive. Occasionally it downloads some mails but only twice in the last week. I think this shows the settings are correct.
Have tried to sign up with Nokia mail but get the following error message:
'Unable to connect with the information provided. Please try again.'
My colleagues in the UK use Blackberrys fine and have spoken with IT and they cannot think of any reason why this is happening. I have deleted the mailbox and set it up again many times but still can send but not receive...
Very grateful for any advice as really happy with the phone other than this which is the main reason why I bought it.

Hi Anne,
Is this IMAP or POP account?
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.

My MacBook Air will send but not receive Airdrops?

Does anyone know why my MacBook Air running OS X 10.9.4 will send, but not receive, AirDrop files? I've tried to see if there are any security settings blocking receiving but have been unable to find anything. Thank you!

If the firewall is on, turn it off in the Security & Privacy preference pane. Otherwise see below.
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, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login 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, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Using osx 10.7.5 can send but not receive emails. Mail server support rep tried everything

Using iMac with OSX 10.7.5. Can send but not receive emails. No problem with internet account. Server rep tried everything and suggested perhaps a corrupted file in the op syst. Any ideas?

You may have a corrupt preference. Mail - Preferences - Accounts - click the offending account and re-enter all prefereneces. Also you can use Apple's OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages located at:

I can send but not receive email

Hello All. I know this is a highly posted topic but I cannot find a solution. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Basic Problem- I can send but not receive email.
My ISP is. Yahoo SBC Global
I have a 3rd party email provider: 1and1.com
I have set my preferences according to the specifications of 1and1.com
The error I get is this: The server error encountered was: The attempt to read data from the server "pop.1and.com" failed.
I have a Macbook Pro, running 10.4.9. My account with the 3rd party email provider is new and only has 1 or two emails in the account. I know this because I can log on via the internet and use their website to check the emails in the inbox. So the "email" address is working. I just can't get it to forward to my laptop.
I'm wondering if it has something to do with port 110 being blocked by my ISP. But I really don't think they are blocking that port. Due to the fact that my previous computer was a dell, and I used a similar 3rd party provider to email, the account used port 110 and things worked fine.
Thanks to all.

Ok. I've got it working.
All I did was delete my account information from the preferences. Before, I was editing it.
I entered a completely new POP account and it started working. I have a hard time believing that I entered information incorrectly prior to this because I checked it, rechecked it had a friend check it and it all looked OK. I was copy and pasting information anyway.
However, once I deleted and re- entered a brand new account, it worked fine.
Ernie, thanks for replying to my emails! I appreciate it.

Hi, I have had an LG Octane for 4 years and loved it. I used it for email, surfing the web and facebook. But 6 weeks ago I stopped getting text messages, I could send but not receive. I was told it was just worn out. So I ordered another Octane from ebay, and it wouldn't connect to the internet. I was told by Verizon that the software had been changed. So I ordered a NEW in Box Octane and I am having trouble with that too. Bing won't work, nothing will work that will enable me to download Verizon Opera mini that still works on my old phone. I have a smart phone with another number but I LOVE the Octane for daily use. Why will my old Octane work but I can't get a NEW one to. Verizon guys are stumped too:( Please help!! Thanks!

Why start a new and very similar thread to your other one which you have not responded to (have you read the replies?)
I suggest that no response is made to this duplicate thread.

Why can I send but not receive them?

Macrumors posted a solution for this. I used it and it seems to have worked for me.
Here's what they said:
1. Turn off iMessage in Settings > Messages
2. Reset networking settings in Settings > General > Reset
3. Reenable iMessage in Settings > Messages

OS X 10.4.11 will send but not receive faxes on Power Mac G4 MDD

OS X 10.4.11 will send but not receive faxes on my Power Mac G4 MDD. Perhaps I should remove the relevant .plist preference file(s). But which one(s) is it /are they? Or is there something else I should do?

Thank you for your reply, BDAqua. I have set the fax feature to answer after 3 rings, but the phone rings only once when someone is trying to send a fax. The phone icon in the menu bar changes to "ringing ..." but nothing more happens. The phone line on which I receive faxes is dedicated to that use. I phoned in to its number earlier today from another phone. I heard it ring once and then it went to the busy signal. I then disconnected the fax phone line from its wall jack, connected a phone to the jack, and phoned in to it. The phone now rang and rang as it should. So this confirms the assumption that the fault is in the computer, presumably in the Print & Fax software. I should also mention that I don't find com.apple.print.FaxPrefs.plist in /Library/Preferences.

You should check that your settings (both directions) match this:
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 993
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes
Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
Note: If you receive errors using SSL, try using TLS instead.
Your signature says you have 10.6.8 - is this correct? If you migrated from MobileMe using this your mail settings won't be correct and you will need to follow this procedure to re-enter them:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard

Same here. I can send mails from iCloud.com Webmail, but cannot receive.
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of
its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address
failed:
"[email protected]":
