Trouble sending e-mails....

When I try to send an email, it goes into the send file and the wheel goes round and round and round. Why doesn't it just send it immediately? Eventually it tells me I cannot send it and it asks me to choose another server. Roadrunner is my main account. So then I switch to my gmail account and then it sends it. Frustrating!

How is that related to Firefox? <br />
Are you using Firefox to access web mail?
Or is that a problem with Thunderbird?

Trouble sending e-mail

I have had trouble sending e-mails intermittently for about 6 months. I use Apple's Mail app, and have 2 accounts - iCloud and gmail. Occasionally, I get the e-mail with a drop-down menu saying the e-mail did not go through and giving me the option to try a different server or to try later. It appears that Mail is trying to send from the GMail server. How can I fix this, and also make iCloud the server to send from vs. the GMail server?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Since you are syncing with iCloud why don't you try to delete the Gmail account and try to send your mac mail. If mail goes through okay once the Gmail is gone then you can add Gmail back and all of your mail will also come back. See if that works for you.

Trouble Sending & Receiving Mail Through Exchange Account from Lion Mail

Mid-2011 MacBook Air, 1.7 GHz Intel Core i5, OS X 10.7.2.
I'm having trouble sending and recieving mail through my Exchange Server Mail account under Lion 10.7.2 on my MacBook Air. The MBA is new with a factory install of Lion. On my MBP the server settings were as follows:
Internal & External Server: red001.mail.microsoftonline.com
When I allow Mail to configure the server settings based on my company eMail ID & Password it sets it up as follows:
Internal Server: 10.32.16.62
External Server: autodiscover-red001.mail.microsoftonline.com
Part of the time this seems to work ok but frequently Mail cannot seem to connect to the Exchange Server to send/recieve. The internet connection is fine and I can send/recieve from my iCloud mail account with no problems.
I recently "upgraded" from mobileMe to iCloud, I do not seem to have any of these issues on my iPad2 or iPhone4, both of which are running iOS5.
Anyone have any ideas?

This started happening with me a week ago. Don't know if it's connected to the latest update or not. I'm running 10.6.7. I can get Exchange mail (sometimes) on my iPhone 3GS, but it's stopped on my MBP and iPad2. Neither can I log onto the company's web mail site from home ("can't reach server" error message). Weird and very frustrating. IT guy at work says there is nothing wrong at his end.

Trouble sending e-mails using OUTLOOK for MAC ;MAC I-PAD or I-PHONE.

I have the 3 devises MAC; I-PAD and I-Phone. My normal e-mail account was working fine then suddenly it stopped SENDING mail (I can still receive).
I am using OUTLOOK for MAC as my mail account.
My regular laptop works perfectly with all the same settings-it is only my apple devises.
I have attempted the following:
Reboot.
Checked all settings and changed both the smtp and the outgoing port.
Contacted the various service provider who have checked all of their settings and all is fine.
I get an error message saying OUTLOOK CAN NOT FIND THE SERVER or SERVER CONNECTION HAS FAILED, but sitting right next to me the laptop is sending/receiving as normal.
Any ideas??

Anyone else having trouble sending from Mail or.Mac?

I can recevie mail just fine - it's the sending that is not going through. I see the mail was down for about 4 hours earlier today, but all systems show "go" now. Ran Connection Doctor - and that looks good too.
Any ideas on what I can do to troubleshoot? I'm a recent PC convert and am not familiar with Macs just yet...

Have you ever been able to send messages with your .Mac account?
If not, the required settings for using an SMTP server that is outside of your ISP's network or not provided by the ISP is determined by the ISP.
Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only (such as the .Mac SMTP server) that is outside of their network on Port 25 (which is the common SMTP server port) but some block its use regardless.
Are you also accessing an email account and SMTP server that is provided by your ISP with the Mail.app and if so, are you able to send messages with this account and SMTP server?
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. Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
If this doesn't resolve it and you are accessing an email account and SMTP server provided by your ISP with the Mail.app, select/use your ISP's SMTP server to send messages with your .Mac account which is invisible to all recipients.

Having trouble sending e-mail on Pop 3 account

Well having a little trouble with my Pop 3 accounts , it seemed to work when i first installed the Iphone but now i am getting a failed to connect to my smtp.west.net.cox account and i do have the password correct and changed it and also turned it off but still no go.
Should I restore the Iphone in Itunes and start all over again or try something else. Thanks
Also makes no difference being in WiFi or Edge

Guy Mancuso,
The foot note of this article gives information on why some ISPs may block Port 25, or not accept connections from outside their network.
The link is:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305634
The article does mention how to configure you mail if your internet provider offers an authenticating server for people who travel. However, if that is not an option, there are a variety of ways to use a third-party SMTP server for legitimate outgoing email. Other users have suggested some of them on these forums.
Hope that helps,
Nathan C.

Since I downloaded Firfox 4.0 I am having trouble sending e-mails. Norton sends the e-mails back stating the e-mail can not be sent. Any ideas why this is happening?

Why is Norton returning half of my e-mails that I forward? This started happening after I downloaded Firefox 4.0 on 3-25-2011.

Thunderbird saves your drafts every five minutes by default. Sometimes auto-saved draft messages aren't cleaned up, giving you the impression that the incomplete messages are also sent. This happens especially for drafts stored on an IMAP server. You can change the configuration to save the draft messages locally by going to Tools -> Account Settings -> [account] -> Copies & Folders- > Drafts and Templates -> Keep message drafts in... and choose Drafts folder on Local folders...

I am having trouble sending bulk emails (less than 100 at a time) on my gmail account using group names created from my address book. I use Mail on my I-Mac. When I try to send out a bulk email, the message shows up that my server can't send them, etc.

I am having trouble sending bulk emails from a Mail Group (less than 100 at a time) on my gmail account. They come back saying the server can't recognize the data and try again with selected server or try later or edit message, all of which I have attempted a number of times, including re-booting the computer. I am wondering if there is something wrong in my Address Book? I have check Apple Preferences, and Mail Preferences and all seems in order. I can send to any of the individual addresses, but not in a group.
Thanks for your help.

Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

I am having trouble send messages with attachments in Mail. Even small attachments (130K) Mail tries to send, then gives up and the message sits in my out box. How can I fix this?

1. You need an external DVD drive.
2. There are no Mac OS X applications or other software in the iTunes App Store.

Apple Mail isn't going to change the format of any of your attachments. it isn't going to corrupt them either.
Exchange is a transport protocol and server. The issue you describe is not related to Exchange.
There are many different versions of Microsoft Outlook in use and they all have e-mail bugs. Different versions have different bugs. Some Apple Mail hack to get around a bug in Outlook 2003 may cause the same message to be problematic in Outlook 2000. Fix them both and another issue will cause trouble in Outlook 2007. You can't fix this. Apple can't fix this. Microsoft can and has but that is irrelevant if your recipients are using older versions.
One specific problem is that Apple Mail always sends image attachments inline, as images, not as iconized files. You can change this with Attachment Tamer. Just be aware that use of this software will break other things such as Stationery. E-mail is just a disaster. To date, no one outside of Apple has ever implemented the e-mail standards from 1993. Apple has continually changed its e-mail software to be more compatible with the de-facto standards that Netscape and Microsoft have unilaterally defined and people documented as "standards" after the fact. The e-mail messages that Apple Mail sends are 100% correct and do not violate any of the original standards from 1993 or the Microsoft/Netscape modifications. The problem is entirely bugs and limitations in various versions of Outlook.

Is anyone else having trouble sending mail? I have a MobileMe subscription - not sure whether that is the problem. The Port assigned to my mail account on my iMac has a different number for the one recommended by Apple, but I hesitate to change it.

Is anyone else having trouble sending mail on an iMac running 10.6.8. I get a messsage that the server can't be accessed. Apple help suggests using a different port from the one that was originally set. I have a Mobile Me account. Any suggestions?

I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

Where can I find the SSL function on the iPad mail - having trouble with AOL sending e-mail out

Where can I find the SSl function on the iPad mail - I am having trouble sending out e-mails on my AOL account on the iPad - no trouble with the MacBook Pro?

Under the line where it has the SSL button, is Authintication set to password? and the line below that, is there a server port number? A typical outgoing server port number is 25.
