TS3276 can receive mail, can not send, set up smtp(offline)?

I feel like a jerk, I know it is probably a simple change of wording in advanced setting or something I'm not doing correctly but I can not send mail using aol server. I use Safari only and have 2 accounts plus icloud, I have my Macbook Pro about 10 months and have had several mail issues but I worked them out.

Hello:
I use AOL's mail as well.
Open mail.  Go to preferences and highlight your account in the sidebar.  Click on accounts>account information.  The out going mail server should show smtp.aol.com:your account name.  If that shows "offline," click on the drop down menu  "edit smtp server list."  The server name should be smtp.aol.com in use by your account.  Click on advanced.  You should use the default ports (25,465,587).  I authenticate using a password and my password is prefilled.  On rare occasions I have had a "gremlin" erase the password in that password box.  I have no clue how that happened, but the AOL server would not handle outgoing mail - showed offline.  Sometimes it took me quite awhile (restarts, etc) to get things going again.

    Hi,
    It may pay to send a Screen Shot of the Connection Doctor info.  (see the Window Menu)
    It would seem the IMAP or POP side is logged in bit the out going STMP server is not.

  • Out of the blue today, my gmail will not send.  I recently upgraded to Mavericks. But I have had not problem until today.  I can receive mail but not send. Any easy suggestions of what to do?

    Out of the blue today, my gmail will not send.  I recently upgraded to Mavericks. But I have not had problems until today.  I can receive mail but not send. Any easy suggestions of what to do?

    I have been having the exact same problem for weeks now with gmail.  None of my computers will send Gmail (they will recieve) and my Maverick computers (10.9.1) show gmail smtp.gmail.com as "offline".  I had installed Post Box and apple support thought it was that i had too many accounts (I have 2 ipads, an iphone (latest iOs), a work and home iMac and a powerbook).  I disabled all my gmail accounts in Mail and still no go from PostBox either . I tried connection doctor and it just spins for outgoing and say I either haveve the wrong pw or login - I dont.  I terminaled and tested port 465 (according to gmail instructions) and it works (port 25 did not).  I can access gmail from the webmail and send/recieve mail from it and it shows up in my webmail outbox. It is configured for imap.I just cannot send mail at all from any gmail account from any apple device using Mail (or PostBox). I am at a loss as was the apple support person who wished me good luck very politely and sympathetically.

    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 you can then send emails

  • Can receive mail but not send mail

    Hey, I can receive mail but cannot send mail. I previously had bellsouth mail and it worked fine, now I have a Charter.net account and I get a pop up every time I try to send mail saying, Mail couldn't be sent using the POP account Charter.net. I would really appreciate any help that some of you Mac experts could give me. It'd be nice to be able to send e-mail without having to go to the Charter website!
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Ernie,
    Is there any chance that this inability to SEND could be fixed by the removal of MessageRules.plist, MessageRules.plist.backup, MessageSorting.plist and MessageSorting.plist.backup that I have seen in other threads on Mail problems? I'm not having a complete failure of Mail, but I can't send mail (only receive).
    I have contacted both my ISP (ATT) and my "second party" mail host (Godaddy.com) and all my settings are correct and things should, in theory, work fine -- but they don't!

  • I changed my e-mail address a few months ago everything was ok. Starting monday my outgoing mail can not be sent, it says the server rejected my e-mail address. Why ? I can receive mail but not send it

             My outgoing mail gets rejected. I can get mail but not send it.It was working for about 6 months.

    If the smtp is rejecting your password you should go in.
    Mail -> Preferences -> Accounts
    Select your Yahoo account in the sidebar on the left.
    In account information tab you will see : " Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) "
    Click on it and choose edit SMTP server list.
    Select Yahoo and click on the advanced tab.
    Now fill your new Yahoo password.
    Hope it's help.

  • I can receive mail but not send

    I have changed NOTHING.   I did move, however.   But all providers are the same.   Im still using the same Mac, the same email, the same ISP.
    I take my computer to McDonalds (& other public networks) and things are fine.   But not at my new home.
    This is a pain.   WHY??? 
    Ive tried calling tech support for all 3.   All 3 point the finger at the others.   I can see this is a popular issue.  
    But I can not find a fix for me.

    From the Mail menu bar, select
    Window ▹ Connection Doctor
    Click the Show Detail button. A drawer opens. Click Check Again and post the text that appears. Anonymize any personal information before posting.
