Thunderbird will not send email through default, outgoing server.
I have two outgoing email servers: Optomum (NY) and TWC (North Carolina). In North Carolina TWC worked perfect. Now I am in NY and changed the default setting for the outgoing server to Optomum. This is the error message I get, “Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to SMTP server mail.twc.com timed out. Try again…” At first I thought that a change to the default outgoing server would not take effect until Thunderbird was shut down and restarted. That was not the case. Then I thought to reboot computer. Still NG. Although Optimum is set as default, Thunderbird still wants to send through TWC. Need fix.

I think you mis understand the default. It is usaed when the one assigned to the account can not be determined.
Tools menu (alt+T) account settings > select the account name and change to the appropriate SMTP server in the drop down list.

Up until the beginning of this month my Thunderbird was working fine with my roadrunner email address. I have not downloaded any new software or made any changes to my settings during this time. Now I can no longer send emails (although it claims they are sent) and I never get an error message. I'm definitely in online mode, can receive all messages fine, and can send messages from my road runner server fine through webmail. I have checked to ensure no firewalls or antiviruses are blocking my outgoing messages and know the SMTP is correct. Please help!
Hi...thanks so much for your help! It says "mail sent successfully" and shows it in my sent folder after I click send.

Thunderbird will not send or receive email in Windows 8.1 unless I re-install it. The next time I open Thunderbird it is again broken. So, I have to repeat the un-install / re-install process. Currently I am using Version 31.0, but this was happening the the previous version as well.
Here are some of the messages in the error console:

JoeThat really sounds like anti virus scanning to me. Try rebooting your machine into safe mode with networking and see if it works correctly then.

Have a new IPad with IOS6. Will not send emails. Addresses are valid but get notice each time that "recipient was rejected by the server." Apple has apparently neglected to put out a manual with IOS6 and the previous manual has no indication of what to do. Really miss Steve Jobs.
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

My mail will not send emails. I can recieve them but it will not send. What do I do?
POP or IMAP? Make certain that you have your outgoing server, whether POP or IMAP, set up correctly.

My iPad will not send emails, even though all the settings seem correct.
Patricia,
When you say seem correct, have you checked in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Account name > Outgoing Mail Server, SMTP and the outgoing server name is correct, then > Primary Server name is correct > Host Name, User Name, redo the Password, Use SSL is OFF or ON according to your provider, may just try it both ways, Server Port, often 25 is the best to use. -
IPad 2 will not send email from any app except from my actual email app
IPad 2 will not send email from any app (eg camara, pdf edit apps, evernote ect.) except from my actual email app. It will send email from my email account in the mail app or online. Pls help :-/
I had this problem
I hit the power button and the round button at the same time and held it until it rebooted
You get the black screen and the apple logo
When that was done I want to the app and update screen and I was able to update my apps
I suggest when you update stay on that screen until they all update
I find it sometimes get stuck updating when I leave the screen as they are updating and do other things, but I could be wrong. It just seems to me that is when it happens.
The reboot works and don't worry you don't lose anything when u reboot it's like shutting down a computer and powering it back up. Everything you had before will still be there. -
All of a sudden, my iphone will not send email to AOL. It says user name [email protected] is incorrect. I have rebooted, reinstalled and changed password that works fine on aol, still receives mail but will not send.
It looks like your SMTP server setting for AOL is wrong. I think it should be smtp.aol.com.

My iPhone will not send emails when away from my home wifi
my iphone will not send emails when away from home wifi any advice
Hey craggee,
Thanks for the question. This is usually do to a limitation by your ISP/email provider:
If you are only able to use your email account while connected to your home network, this may be a limitation put in place by your email service provider. For further support, please contact your email service provider directly.

Latest updates to iPhoto 11 installed. iPhoto will not send email of photos. The "send" indicator moves all the way to the right and shows as a solid bar, but the email is never sent. Any suggestions?
This is ridiculous.
For the past 5 years I've easily emailed photo's from iPhoto. Then, I get a new edition. Now, iPhoto wants all the detailed BS that I've already put into my email account.
REALLY, it wants to FORCE me to sign up for MobileMe. Which, I have, but I refuse to cave to stupidity - even when it's from Apple.
Apple's development staff just pulled a Microsoft - take something that's worked for a decade and drastically change it so that it's a pain in the butt for their loyal base.
Bummers. Apple is usually smarter. -
If anyone can help I would appreciate it. Mail on my iphone will not send any messages. I have followed the Apple instructions and still it won't work, even after resetting my iphone. My email provider is BT.
To Avoid Relaying:
If you are sending an email from, say, [email protected], but the return address is [email protected], that is relaying (you are using y.com's servers to send an email where the email "originates" from b.com). Many servers don't allow relaying to prevent spamming.
To make this work go into the email account settings, tap the account "button" that has your email address, go to the Advanced section in "Mail" if there is one, then go to "Outgoing Mail Server", tap it, and then tap "Primary Server", and in the Outgoing Mail Server enter your user name and password. It may say optional, but you need this.
Not all services provide this and the sequence of buttons I describe above may not be exactly the same for each address (look around if different). If you can't set the user name and password, then that email service does not provide a way to get around relaying.
