Trouble sending emails from mail app

Hi!
I am having trouble with the mail app on my Macbook Pro. I can recieve emails on the app but i can't send them. The outgoing server keeps saying offline. I phoned apple support this morning and was told to contact MSN about the outgoing server information- the information they provided me matches the information in the app. I have noticed that a lot of people are having this problem and i have tried a number of solutions that people have provided. Nothing seems to work for me.
Can anybody help?
Thanks!

If a lot of people are having this problem, it indicates that the issue is not with your computers but with the outgoing mail server you are trying to use. All you can do it wait until your email provider (MSN) gets the server back up and running, or you can switch to another email provider.
Best of luck.

  • Cannot send emails from Mail App

    I cannot seem to send any mail from my desktop mail app for some reason (it USED to work!!).
    This is the error command it gives me:
    "This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
    The server "smtp.mac.com" refused to allow a connection on port 25."
    I've had a look at some of the settings and a fiddle round with them but I still suffer from the same thing. It has resulted in me having to log into .Mac everytime I want to reply to mail I recieve in my mailbox!
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Cheers.

    I just received the update last night. Now today I am also unable to send. I called support, Apple said it was my ISP, they said it was Apple. I still can't send. I think it is Apple, but limited support has not helped.

  • Mail Security certificate issue and cannot send email from mail app on surface 2

    well im have the same issue like others and coincidently we all started to have this issue just recently like few days ago. Please help us out as on the surface 2 mail app my Hotmail account ( The main account )
    cannot send mails and on the account setting it says there is a problem with the server security certificate. So how to fix it ???

    Does this issue only happen with Hotmail account? Have you tested the account in other mail programs or send a email via web mail in a browser? What is the result if we delete the account then recreate the account?
    Please also refer to solutions in this link:

  • I can't send emails from Mail. I have three different accounts set up and have the same problem with all. The mail just sits in my outbox. All worked fine until Yosemite upgrade. Recent update has not fixed problem.

    I can't send emails from Mail. I have three different accounts set up and have the same problem with all. The mail just sits in my outbox. All worked fine until Yosemite upgrade. Recent update has not fixed problem.

    I have been experiencing the same problem. My mail app won't even open on my Late 2011 Macbook Pro. It will show as open, but the app will never actually show up.

  • 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.

  • Trouble sending email from iPad and iPhone

  • Gmail will not send emails from mail

    On my Gmail account I am unable to send emails from mail on my iMac. I have OS X 10.9.1
    I have tried several times turning on and off 2 - step verification.
    I have also entered the generated password in the SMTP server as well.
    Message says: SMTP-server.gmail....  Could not connect
    When I edit SMTP server list how do I fill that in.
    ie Description, server name TLS Certificate.

    Does this mail ID supports either POP or IMAP protcol? Report this issue to your carrier they will raise a ticket to RIM for resolving the issue.

  • Why "Outlook Express" users can't read email from Mail.app ?

    Why "Outlook Express" users can't read email from Mail.app ? Any explanation ? Select a good format,that's a good explanation,but i can't know each time if our recipients use "Outlook Express".

    There are no completely bug free email clients including the Mail.app and Outlook has its share of bugs for such an old/mature email clients and some glaring ones that MS has been aware of for a long time but has chosen not to do anything about since these do not affect exchanging email with other Outlook users.
    Outlook has always had problems with Mail's RTF and the degree depending on the Windows and Outlook versions used by the recipient.

  • TS3276 Trouble Sending Email Through Mail

    I'm havng trouble sending email through Mail on MacBook Pro.  I'm using Lion and everything is up to date.  I receive email just fine, but when I go to reply the little wheel thingy just spins and spins, and eventually my emails get sent to the Out box and are never sent.  It's an AT&T email account that I'm using.  If I go through Yahoo, I can send the emails just fine, but I'd much rather use Mail.  Any ideas on what to do?  This just started.

    You have a setting wrong OR. I also use ATT/Yahoo mail for some of my email accounts and earlier this morning the ATT/Yahoo email system was down.
    If that is not the problem, ATT/Yahoo system down, then it is simply you do not have the SMTP settings correct.
    The server address is smtp.att.yahoo.com and you must have your complete email address, [email protected]/net where attdomian is bellsouth/att/southwest(not sure if that is one of them)/whatever DOT com or net for your domain. It has to included what comes after the @ sign. Some email programs strip what comes after the @ sign out of your logon info. And of course you must have the correct password entered.

  • Cannot send email in mail app. using POP account with Wi-Fi

    I recently moved to an apartment that only has wireless internet access. Since moving I cannot send email using my POP account, although I can receive email. I was also not able to receive email using my .mac account, but I learned through this forum to change server port to 587 in .mac account and now I can send via .mac account in mail app. But I still cannot sent email with mail app. using my POP account. I changed no settings when I moved, and have never had this problem with cable. Any suggestions?

    It all depends on the policy of whoever is the ISP at your new location and the method used by the outgoing (SMTP) server to determine whether you’re a legitimate user.
    In an attempt to fight spam, many ISPs restrict the ability to send using an outgoing (SMTP) server not owned by them, usually by blocking port 25 for all traffic outside their own network, which means you cannot send with an SMTP server not owned by them if configured to use that port number. And it may happen the other way around as well, i.e. the outgoing server itself may look at the IP address you’re connecting from and refuse the connection if you’re outside its own network.
    Something that often works is changing the outgoing server port to 587 (or whatever alternate port number the outgoing server listens to) instead of 25 and using some form of authentication in Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server > Server Settings, but two conditions must be satisfied for this change to work: (1) the ISP must not block that port as well AND (2) the outgoing server in question must listen to that port and accept a form of authentication not based on the IP address you’re connecting from.
    Independent mail service providers not tied to a particular ISP, such as .Mac and Gmail, do allow authenticated SMTP access on port 587, which is the reason changing the outgoing server port number solves the problem for them if the ISP doesn’t block that port as well.
    The following article, for example, describes several ways to address this issue in the case of .Mac, but can be useful for other mail accounts as well (not just .Mac), and applies to all versions of Mac OS X (not just Mac OS X 10.4.2 and earlier as the article states):

  • Why can't I send Emails from iPad apps?

    When I am using iBooks, or Evernote, or Hootsuite, or just about any application on my iPad that allows me to Email items from within the application, the following happens when I try to send an Email:
    1) I click the share button.
    2) Choose Emaill
    3) Write the Email.
    4) Click Send
    5) Hear swoosh sound and it appears the Email is sent.
    However, the Email is never actually sent.  I've tested this mutiple times to various Email addresses and it just isn't sending the Email.  The only exception is when I send Emails from within the Gmail app, in which case they send fine.
    After discovering this I took our my iPhone 5 and tried to do the same from there with the same applications.  I was able to send Emails from within the iPhone applications just fine so this problem is specific to my iPad.
    I checked my mail settings and didn't see anything out of order.  As I said, I can successfully send Email from the iPad using the Gmail app or just sending it from within a Chrome window.
    Thoughts?

    I used to be able to send e-mail from within apps on my iPad. Then all of a sudden, I was unable to do it. I changed none of my settings, and my regular e-mail works just fine.  One day I could e-mail from within apps, and then next I could not.
    When I hit the share button within an app, I then select the e-mail button. An e-mail message opens for composition. It has the subject line filled in, but that's all. It will not allow me to enter the address and it contains no message or link. It's just dead. Sometimes I wait for a while to see if anything changes, but it doesn't.

  • Occasional trouble sending emails with Mail

    When I try to send emails through Mail, about 1 in 5 messages seems to have trouble sending. What happens is, I click send, the sending icon has a little activity sign for way longer than it takes to normally send an email, and ultimately a few minutes later I get this error message:
    "Cannot send message using the server
    smtpout:secureserver.net:(myid@mydomainname).com
    The connection to the server “smtpout.secureserver.net” on port 80 timed out.
    Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
    Sending from: me <(myid@mydomainname).com>"
    Normally I then click "edit message" and then try sending, and it usually goes through fine. This started about a year ago, and I have just been dealing with it, but now I'm realizing that the problem may result in multiple versions of the same email being sent, so I'd like to get it solved!
    It seems to happen with yahoo and comcast, etc., emails on the receiving end.

    this always happens on my desktop iMac (the usual computer I use), which is connected to the internet via my Airport/ wirelessly. My ISP hasn't changed, and I haven't heard from them about any issues... and I don't seem to have trouble connecting to the internet otherwise - it's just when sending through Mail, and just with certain addresses (as far as I can tell).
    For example, occasionally I'll send an email through my webmail (same email address, same ISP, same computer, but via the webmail site on my internet browser), and I've never had trouble with the outgoing mail there. If I use my husband's Windows-based laptops or PC (on the same ISP, same cable modem, connected either wirelessly or wired) and do webmail, no problem there either
    This leads me to believe that it's the way that Mail is trying to send, trying to connect to the outgoing server or something? Especially because the message apparently IS sending - maybe Mail is just not getting confirmation back from the recipient's server? I can't rely on the message having gone through, but it seems most recipients are ultimately receiving the message twice - when it comes back to me with an error, and again when I successfully send.
    Can I try reconfiguring my outgoing message Mail settings? I don't know what other settings to try...

  • Trouble sending email from iPod Touch

    I have My own Local ISP, I'm not having a problem from their end. I am having trouble sending my email from the outgoing mail server from my iPod Touch, I have it set up correctly.
    What I wanted and tried to do is sync my composed and sent emails from my iPod Touch to my computer email Program (Apple). What I did was I plugged in my iPod Touch to my computer, clicked on "Devices" in iTunes, clicked on the Info. Tab and scrolled down to "Mail Accounts" and chose the "Sync Selected mail accounts": check box, Then I chose my ISP Pop account email check box, then chose the "Advance" section and checked all the check boxes: Contacts, Calendars, mail accounts, and Bookmarks, then I clicked on the Sync Button at the bottom. After I did this I tried sending an email from my iPod Touch, the email went to the out box and not to the sent section of my iPod Touch, my iPod suddenly stopped sending email and had little trouble getting email from my computer while my iPod Touch was "checking" its "email" with its little blue wheel spinning at the bottom of the mail iPod Touch screen, My computer email program (apple) would get the little Triangle next to the inbox. I had went Back to my iTunes, iPod Touch "Devices", Info Tab, and undid what I did and re hit the Sync Button again, I then had noticed that in the "Advance section" the "Mail Accounts" check box was un high lighted, I am not able to check it if I wanted to. Now sometimes I am able to get my email from my computer, I am able to send email from my computer email program (Apple).
    Does any one have a solution and that can help solve this sticky problem? and help me refix this?
    Thanks,
    Trisha Foster.

    Without having the stuff to hand - this is what I did. You need to make sure that your password and username are left blank in the settings for out going mail on your touch. this will be changed back if you let itunes sync email addresses on your computer. I had the same problem until I read somewhere that you needed these setting left blank.
