The sender address "my email address here" was rejected by the server

I had to trash my mail folder and mail preferences folder becuz it wouldn't open no matter what I did. Now that I have it opening it's giving me the error that I've used for the subject line. What have I done wrong here? why wouldn't the server recognize my email address? I can recieve mail.

It could be any number of things, but the error indicates that your ISPs server doesn't recognize or accept your email address as a valid customer. Maybe your ISP requires SSL to send email, or uses a different port number, etc.
That's why it's best if you talk to them; they're charging your for their service, so they should help you with errors generated by their system. If you get them on the phone and try to send email to that person while you're talking to them, you can test it in real time and if you get the error again, they can troubleshoot the problem with you.

The Sender Address (me) was rejected by the server?

E?very time I try and send an email from my mac mail application on my computer it says, "The sender address ([email protected]) was rejected by the sever." What the ****? On webmail.mac.com it says that mail cannot send at this time. I can recieve emails but can't send them. What the ****? Any ideas??

It could be that you’ve exceeded the .Mac sending restrictions, as described in the following article:
.Mac: Email Account Specifications
If that’s the problem, it’ll fix itself by just letting enough time to pass so that you’re within bounds again.

When I try to send email from my iPad I get the message "A copy has been placed in your Outbox. The sender address hplar45ATcomcastDOTnet was rejected by the server". Prior to this I have used the same process to send email for a year.

I have been using the iPad for email for a year. WIFI connection cannot be established for some reason, I am stuck on 3G. I am sitting next to the WIFI router.
Why can't I send email using my only email address hplar45ATcomcastDOTnet?
Why can't I get a WIFI connection?
What changed?

I can't answer why you are not able to connect to WiFi but I can tell you to try the basic things, turn WiFi off and on again, restart your iPad, reset network settings, reboot your router, forget your WiFi network and try again .....
The issue with the email is probably a password issue. Make sure that your password is entered in the incoming mail server setting and in the outgoing mail server setting as well. The outgoing server setting can be accessed by tapping on the SMTP under the Outgoing Mail Server Setting and then tapping the smtp.comcast.net in the next window under the Primary Server Setting.
The outgoing mail server setting will be in the first window when you tap on the Comcast account in the Mail settings.
Look here for a few different web sites for help with the WiFi.

I have yet to find an email server that does not work with Mail.app. Your solution will be to configure its ports and send/receive protocol according to the email server's requirements.
Try the Zimbra support forums. I found this excerpt from a relevant post:
http://www.zimbra.com/forums/users/46221-mac-mail-app-dont-work-outside-company. html
in which the following ports were suggested
ports 25, 465, and/or 487 to send mail.
port 143/993 to retrieve mail over IMAP

Sometimes when sending a mail it will go more often it won't go, it doesn't seem to be relevant to my geographic position and the message" a copy has been placed in your Outbox. The sender address" my email blah blah" was rejected by the server" . Any ideas?

Check the outgoing mail server setting. 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.

Why are my outgoing emails from my IPad rejected by my server

I Cannot send email from my IPad. I get a box saying "message in outbox. Recipient rejected by the server". I have checked settings and can send successfully to same recipients from my computer and IPhone. I've switched off and restarted IPad and just been to my computer and checked I can get on web and send message ok from there.

Try going into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > select the account > account name , tap on SMTP (under the 'Outgoing Mail Server' heading) and then tap on your Primary Server and try entering your email account and password and see if it then works

Sender address rejected by service

I have many times sent images I take on my iphone to myself at home to import into iphoto with no problem. Today I try to do this and I get a message "A copy has been placed in your outbox. The sender address (mine) was rejected by the server". I phoned my server shaw.ca and they say it is a problem with the phone. Why would this work a few days ago and not now. Any comments would be appreciated.
PS new phone at Christmas
Thanks.

Couple things in addition to this guide by shaw..

You may have to go into preferences in your shaw email account and enable mobile deveices and also type in your password. I had to change my password because it wasnt strong enough apparently. Then changed the outgoing mail server and incoming passwords on my iPhone to the new one I made and it worked.

What to do? I'm stressed.

Sender address rejected by server

Setting up my iMac mail, and using the same settings for my mail account as I have been using successfully on my MacBook, but can't get any mail to send. I receive the message that the sender address has been rejected by the server. I have tried deleting and re-entering the account information and outgoing mail server, double checking it against what is working on my MacBook, but no luck! Thanks for any ideas on how to get the mail moving!!
