TS3276 can't send any mail but I can receive it

When I go into settings there are no outgoing servers to choose from I dont know what I have done but cant send any mail although still receiving mail

Hi frisbo1312
I am in the UK and eventually found the problem was due to my BT Home Hub Router. Not sure where you live, but of you are in the UK, this might work for you.
I found this fix below on https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4604180?start=15&tstart=0
It worked for me. If you can't link to the URL, here is the body of the text
There's an issue related to the BT homehub that is providing a hostname that is "syntactically incorrect" for several smtp server.
Here's how you can fix it.
Using your internet browser, go to the address "192.168.1.254
- Follow instructions to reset your password if asked.
- Then go to "Settings", then "Advanced Settings" and "home network"
You will see there all the devices that are connected or that has been connected before. It's gonna be easyer if yout computer is the only one connected.
Your computer should have a name like "unknown-xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ...
Click on this name, chose another name without any special characters, like "macbook" for exemple.
And then click on "apply"
- restart your computer.
That should fix the issue.
Credit goes to vincentfromcork for providing me with the solution.

Able to send e mail, but no one receives them

Able to send e mail, but no one receives them?

Whatever the latest version is. Everything is up to date.

There are two entirely different paths involved here; SMTP for send and either POP or IMAP receive. Check your receive path. Confirm username, password and the POP or IMAP server identity. Also check directly with your mail provider, and ensure the POP or IMAP server is functioning and online, and the provider hasn't changed their particular POP or IMAP configuration requirements.

Cant send e mail but can receive hotmail

cant send e mail but can receive email on ipad2 from hotmail....problem with ourgoing???

Dear All,
Thought that I'd report in. My firewall is not on, so that can't be the problem.
I went into my mail settings and re-entered passwords, account info, unselected SSL, then selected it again, entered custom ports, etc., etc., and was able to get mail to send, but no information seems to be stored and there doesn't seem to be any way to save any changes that are made. There was always a box that came up and asked if you wanted to save changes, but I can't find it now. If you shut mail down and start it up again, the same old problem occurs.
I also have two smtp servers and it seems that if one is working, the other doesn't. If outbound.att.net is working and shows green, then smtp.att.yahoo.com is red. If smtp.att.yahoo.com is green, then outbound.att.net is red. Occasionally they will both be green, but neither one sends any mail. Strange!
Also, Connection Doctor shows a red light for no connection when my mail just swooshed out of the mailbox! It really is working, but Connection Doctor doesn't show a connection. And, when the light is green and a connection is made, the mail still doesn't leave the box.
It still takes a long time to send anything, but I was able to send about five test messages tonight. I'm still waiting for a fix from Apple.

TS3276 i suddenly cannot send any mail via my imac please help

i am unable to send any mail using apple mail. i have checked the all the settings and it seems to be correct. please help

Here's a troubleshooting article from Apple: iOS: Troubleshooting Mail
It doesn't seem to cover your specific issue, but have you tried using a different network (either a different wi-fi network, or switching from wi-fi to cellular or vice-versa if you have a wi-fi+cellular iPad)?
For GMail, iCloud and Yahoo, copies of messages are stored on their respective servers, so you could try deleting the account on your iPad, then re-adding each account one at a time to see if that resolves the issue.

All of a sudden my IMessage wont let me send any messages but i can still receive them what should i do?

My IMessage wont let me send any messages but i can still recive them how can i fix this?

Because Apple's currently having trouble with the iMessage and FaceTime servers. Nothing can be done from your end.

Can't send any mail since Safari 3.2 update

I have updated Safari to v.3.2 and been unable to send any mail ever since. I use Mail 3.5. I've tried everything, checked all the settings, still doesn't work. It's Ok to receive mail. When I try to send anything I get the message "e-mail address rejected by the smtp server".
On my PC mail is working just fine. Please help me if you know how to fix it.

Same with me! No mail goes out anymore! It just says "Sending" in perpetuity, even if there's nothing in the Outbox!

I keep getting asked to answer security questions and I can't remember them. Apple says it's sending an email but haven't received one but as soon as I got on community I got an immediate email. It's driving me nuts not being able to get on iTunes.

I'm trying to get on iTunes, I know my password but don't remember the security questions. It says it will send an email but haven't received one, I know email is right I got an immediate one when I got on the community discussion. Any ideas?

Try going to id.apple.com and signing in using Manage Apple ID. Click on the Password and Security section on the left and check the space under your security questions. If you have a rescue email, then a button will be there that can be used to send a reset link to that email. It will usually have the email address blanked out except for the first letter.
The only other way to reset the questions would be to call Apple Support at 1-800- MY-APPLE and have the account security team look at your ID. They will ask you for a temporary support pin and one other piece of secure information from the account, such as your current security questions, the credit card linked to the account, a device serial number, or a verification code that they can send to your devices. The support pin can be gathered using the same id.apple.com page. It is in the bottom-left corner of Password and Security. The support pin cannot be skipped, but the second piece of information for the verification can be whatever of the options they give works best for you.
Once they have the support pin and one other piece of information to confirm your identity, they can reset your security question without needing to send you an email. Just sign out of appleid.apple.com while they send the reset, and when you sign back in the Passwords and Security section will change to ask you for new security questions and your birthdate.
Good luck!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Can you send email from that account on another device?
- You can try deleing the account from the iPod and reentering the settings.

Sudenly, I cannot send any mails...

Sudenly, I cannot send any mails! When I try, it takes a long time, then it asks me for mails passwords, I enter them and finaly mails are not sent...
On another hand I receive mails.
Fortunately, I have Entourage and it works well!
Probably, with Thunderbird it would work well too...

If you are prompted for a password when sending messages with this account, this indicates the SMTP server used with this account is authenticated.
If so, try running Keychain First Aid on your Login Keychain via Keychain Access.
If no problems are found and repaired or this doesn't resolve the problem, try the following:
If any unsuccessfully sent messages remain in the Outbox, transfer these messages to the account's Drafts mailbox.
Quit Mail and using the Finder go to Home > Library > Mail > Mailboxes > Outbox.mbox. Delete the Outbox.mbox folder and empty the Trash.
Launch Mail and a new Outbox.mbox folder will be recreated automatically by Mail within the Mailboxes folder.
Test if this resolves the problem.

TS3276 I can send e-mails but cannot receive e-mails

I activated my gmail on my macbook pro (new mac user, older macbook). I can send messages no problem and I can see them in "sent" folder and receive them on other devices BUT, I am not receiving messages to the inbox on the mac book mail.
I was told to remove the account and then reinstall it, but I can't figure out how to remove it.
Does anyone know where I can enable mail so I can receive messages?

In order to remove your Gmail Account, go to System Preferences> Mail, Contacts, & Calendar Menu. You will see a column box similar to this:
In order to remove Gmail, click in your Gmail and then go to the "-" sign. Confirm that you want to delete your account. Then launch mail and re-add your Gmail account through the Mail Set Up Assistant.
Hope this helps!
