Tiger Mail Not Sending Emails

It USED to work ... but the mail feature for Tiger is no longer sending emails (but it DOES recieve them).
The Error Message is as follows:
This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
The connection to the server "smtp.mac.com" on port 25 timed out.
Can someone help me?
Cheers,
ne@nher@.

Who is your internet service provider (ISP) use for connecting to the internet?
This error message indicates your ISP is blocking the use of SMTP servers outside of their network on Port 25. Since using the .Mac SMTP server on Port 25 worked previously, this may be a recent change implemented by your ISP.
Within the last year, SBC implemented such a change and conveniently neglected to inform their customers beforehand so your ISP may have done the same.
Something to try.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your .Mac account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below.
At the Server Port field, enter 587 in place of 25 in the space provided. When finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
Check if this resolves the problem.
If not and you are also accessing an email account and SMTP server provided by your ISP, select/use your ISP's SMTP server to send mail with your .Mac account which is done under the Account Information tab for the account preferences via the pop-up menu next to the SMTP server currently selected for the account.
This is invisible to all recipients and should allow you to send mail with your .Mac account while calling your ISP to check on any recent changes implemented on the use of an SMTP server not provided by your ISP and outside of their network.

ATT Uverse and Mac Mail not sending emails!

I've read through all the other discussion topics pertaining to this and tried them all, adding and deleting accounts, setting up my account preferences according to the Uverse help page but nothing seems to work. I can receive emails fine but sending emails doesn't work any more. We just had Uverse installed less than 24 hours ago and ATT tech support won't help me out unless I pay $50! Are you kidding me? Because Mac Mail is a 3rd party app they won't help me solve this annoying issue, they've told me to just use their web mail program instead. I'm not sure what to do at this point, does anyone have some info that may help me out here?

AT&T U-Verse (uverse), as of July 2014, requires that you verify your non-AT&T mail accounts before they allow you to send outgoing non-AT&T mail.
Here's how to verify your non-AT&T mail accounts and link them to your AT&T U-verse account
https://discussions.apple.com/message/22291865
Log into your AT&T U-verse webmail att.net email account (e.g. Yahoo mail)
> click the gear at upper right of screen next to your name
Navigate to Settings > Accounts > Add
Add your non-AT&T mail accounts/ Enter info they require
U-verse will send a verification email to those mail accounts.
After you reply and verify your identity, you will be able to send outgoing email for those accounts via Mail, so long
as you have Mail configured.

Mail not sending email

I'm having some problems with sending email through Mail. It sends fine when I use .mac on the apple website, but when I use Mail it won't send it at all. I can still receive mail, but can't send it. I've been using Mail for years and have never had this problem. Any ideas?

Problem solved... I just restarted the computer... Should've tried that first.

Than i ran a request and selected an employee defined as user in the apps for notify in the options..i saved the employee earlier with its email address

Mail not sending email with digital signature

Hello helpers,
What's the deal with Mail and digital signatures? I could never get the application to work with my Versign class 1 digital signature in Tiger and now in Leopard. Keep getting error 1035. That's what led mr to Thunderbird and I got Leopard hoping to resolve this issue. Keychain seems as if it's a weirdo in its simplicity and where I believe the problem lies. my digital certificate resides on the system but is not in the my certificate category. However, when I select it in system, afterwards it shows up in my certificate category. If I close Keychain and reopen it, my certificate is empty.
I like Mail. However, it's important to me to use my digital certificate in signing my email. I believe I must have done something wrong in the installation of the certificate and I can't imaging what. Why can't Mail accept digital certificate directly like other email application rather than go through a third party...Keychain. Mail help did not help. Any workable solution would be appreciated. Thanks

Apple Mail not sending email something about port 25

I am a brand new iMac user. I am unable to use the native iMac mail. When I try to send a message it says something about not being able to send mail...port 25. Any ideas. Is there some kind of set up I need to do? I have a high speed Internet connection and it is working just fine.
Please help.
-Brett

This is a common issue between your mail provider and your internet provider. It sounds like your ISP isn't letting you use port 25 to send outgoing mail, which is quite common now, since some internet worms use that port.
Check with your mail provider to see if you can use an alternate port for SMTP (outgoing mail). One possible port is 587. You can set this in Mail Preferences, under Accounts, then Server Settings.

Mail does not send email

My problem is simply that Mail does not send email.
I have just migrated from iMac G5 to iMac Intel by using Migration Assistant. Everything else works just fine and I can receive email. However, if I try to reply, forward or send a new email message, Mail just does not do anything - no error message, nothing.
The fixes I have tried so far are removing the Mail plist file, repairing disk permissions and mailboxes. Of course, I have checked the account settings, especially outgoing server settings. I also reinstalled Mail application with Pacifist. None of this has solved the problem. I have tried sending email with Thunderbird and it works with no problems.
Does anybody have any suggestions how to fix this issue?
The OS is 10.4.8, Mail Version 2.0.6 (749.2/752.3), all the suggested software updates done.
iMac Core Duo 20" 2GHz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Reinstalling Mail is rarely necessary or appropriate to solve a problem. It certainly cannot fix anything that could be wrong within your home folder or at the server or with the network, and may even introduce new issues if not done properly. Moreover, in Mac OS X 10.4 you don’t need Pacifist to reinstall Mail, you could also do it as described in the following article:
Custom installs in Mac OS X 10.4
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, if the version of the system software on your install disks is earlier than what you’re using now (and only in that case), then you must also reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, to bring Mail back in sync with the rest of the system:
About the Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for PPC
Mac OS X 10.4.8 Combo Update for Intel
The above won’t solve the problem. It’s just to ensure that you’ve properly reinstalled Mail, which you shouldn’t have done, and which apparently you didn’t do properly -- the version of Mail on your system should be 2.1.1, not 2.0.6.
The original problem could be caused by some Launch Services cache or preferences corruption. 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, this other article provides links to some utilities that can be used for troubleshooting and cache cleaning:
Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption
It seems that the most appropriate utility for solving this particular problem 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. Click Maintenance. In the Reset section, check LaunchServices database.
4. You may uncheck any other pre-checked options if you wish.
5. Click the Execute button.
6. Restart the computer.

Mail (Yosemite): Verify an account’s outgoing mail server

Ever since i upgraded my os to lion, my quickbooks can not send emails to my draft folder in mail. help!

Snow Leopard breaks quite a few drivers - my Canon exhibited the same problem.
I eventually found updated drivers on the Canon website. You can try that with the HP, but if the all-in-one is more than a year or so old, don't hold your breath.
You can also try Software Update to see if it will offer new drivers, or failing that go to the Support Downloads site and search for HP updates.
In fact there's a new one for HP at the top of the list just now.
You may not necessarily want the latest one, though - check the specs to see if your model is covered; if not, search for the previous update etc.

Mac Mail not sending my yahoo emails

Since yesterday, my Mac Mail will not send emails out for my Yahoo smtp email address. This has been set up for almost two years and I did not change anything. I am still receiving my email fine! I'm not getting the normal relay error message I sometimes get with other email accounts. It just sits in outgoing for hours!
Can anyone help me?

Try opening up a terminal window and telnet to the smtp server's port 25. If that doesn't work, there is probably some firewall issue or you might have mistypyed the name of the smtp server.
The telnet command would look something like ...
telnet smtp_server 25
If you get a response from the SMTP server, check with your ISP's tech support to verify that you are connecting properly.

If the affected email account is provided by your Internet provider, see if your issue is resolved while connected to your home Wi-Fi network.*
Log in to your email provider's website to make sure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Make sure your settings are correct using Mail Settings Lookup.
Restart your iOS device.
Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
