TS3276 I cannot get my outgoing SMTP server togo "On-Line" and cannot send out emails.

I cannot get my outgoing SMTP server togo "On-Line" and cannot send out emails.

I had this problem too but I fixed it today.
Go to the mail menu preferences.
Click on account in question.
Select the outgoing SMTP mail server (the one offline), this has a drop down list, click on the edit server list.
Click on the advanced button.
Make sure use default port is checked.
Make sure SSL is unchecked (unless your provider requires it, mine does not work with it checked).
Have authentication set to password.
User name should be your email address for that account.
Make sure correct password is entered (for some strange reason my password box was blank on this account).
Push the ok button.
For me the SSL box was checked and the password was missing. This is strange to me considering I have unchecked the SSL Box on the mail preference advance page. Also, I went through the complete set up account when I first created the account, why was my outgoing server password box empty?
I hope this helps.

  • I am not receiving new emails on my phone.  I am receiving a pop-up that reads "cannot get mail" saying my server is not responding and to check my settings.  My settings are correct. Help!

    Looking for help.... I keep getting a pop-up message on my phone stating that my server is not responding and to check my settings.  My settings are fine.  Any advice on what I can do to receive new emails on my phone?  Help!

    For a few weeks I have been using the GMail app on my iPhone 4S to get mail without problem.  When I wanted to check something in Apple's Mail app, which has worked well for years, I now get a message for my principal email address that the server is "not responding," even though the same server is responding to my GMail app.  For some reason, when I dismissed the message in Mail, it popped up again, but then could be dismissed.  Did something change in Mail that requires some imap addresses be deleted and readded?  Any idea?
    I would not want to think that Mail is programmed to befuddle if it is ignored too long.

  • Outgoing SMTP server says "offline" can't send e-mails

    Set up new iCloud e-mail. Incoming mail works. Outgoing SMTP server says "offline." Can't send e-mails from this account. Need info on how to set it up. Thanks.

    You might want to try signing out of your iCloud account, then back in.  Go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac, then sign back in.
    This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your Mac, but not from iCloud.  It will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in, after a brief delay as it redownloads.

    Hello Jeba1969
    Use Connection Doctor to see what is causing it to be offline, like a incorrect password or a different setting for authentication. Check out the article below to get a start on troubleshooting your issues with sending mail.

  • Cannot edit outgoing SMTP server list in mail.app

    Did a fresh install of Snow Leopard on a new 13" Macbook Pro unibody and was trying to add an IMAP email account. After failing to connect, I was trying to specify the outgoing port and realized that I could not edit the outgoing SMTP server list.
    Steps to reproduce error:
    1. Open mail.app
    2. Go to Mail > Preferences
    3. Select "Accounts" tab and select any mail account
    4. Select "Account Information" tab and click Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) drop down menu
    5. Select "Edit SMTP Server List..."
    After that point the instead of opening the list of servers with their settings, it simply returns to the "Account Information" screen. I'm a bit confused because I've never had this happen before in any other version of mail app. I cannot edit or delete any outgoing mail server accounts because of this. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration.

    This should not happen. Had you migrated back to the fresh install the Mail folder in User-Library? Or is this a clean setup? I would go to User-Library-Preferences, and drag the com.apple.mail.plist to the trash, then open Mail and try again.

  • TS3276 Outgoing smtp server 'offline'

    My outgoing smtp server is correctly configured yet shows as 'offline'. How can I put it online?
    Thank u.

    Assume you've solved the problem yourself or it corrected itself but if not try going into your mail preferences and the account settings.  For each account you can edit the outgoing SMTP server list.  Go into the advanced settings for the account showing offline.  Even if there is a password stored, retype the account password and click OK.  The account should go back online.

  • Updated to ios 7 cannot get mail the connection server failed

    I updated to ios 7 yesterday and today I keep getting "cannot get mail the connection server failed". Also the safari gets stuck or takes awhile to load the page

    Was there ever a response/solution to this? There's plenty of occasions where this seems to have happened but this thread is exactly what's happening to me. I am currently in Spain and trying to use Yahoo mail.
    My mail is updating occasionally but if i try to force an update i get "cannot get mail...the connection to the server failed". Also if i try to send and email i get "a copy has been placed in your outbox....the connection to the outgoing server apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com failed...additional servers can....."
    I checked my mail settings and the defined server isn't prefixed with "apple".

  • Can't send mail, get message: the smtp server rejected the password. I tried lock and unlock keychain. I tried unlock captcha. Gmail works okay, it is Mail that does not. Help!! :(

    Hi
    You need to check with your ISP whether or not the send mail server (SMTP) requires a password.  Some do, but many do not.  When you know the correct password to send mail, then you need to tell Mail as follows:
    Mail menu > Preferences > Accounts > Select the account
    Click on the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) combo box, and select Edit SMTP Server List...
    In the Account Information tab put the server name
    In the Advanced Tab, set up the authentication information from your ISP.
    Good luck

  • Unable to download Error getting License. License Server Communication Problem: E_ACT_NOT_READY.  Cannot open ebooks on my Adobe DE.  How do I fix this?

    Unable to download Error getting License. License Server Communication Problem: E_ACT_NOT_READY.  Cannot open ebooks on my Adobe DE.  How do I fix this?

    I had the exact same problem & this worked for me. All I needed was the first step. Good luck!!!! (copied from another thread):
    "Sometimes ADE gets its registration/activation confused and in a semi-authorized state.
    Uninstalling and reinstalling does not help, and indeed installation can even trigger this state.
    Unfortunately, it often then gives misleading error messages about what is wrong.
    A common incorrect message informs you that the ID is already in use on another computer and cannot be reused.
    Another is  "E_AUTH_NOT_READY"
    This can often be resolved by completely removing any authorization using ctrl-shift-D to the Library screen on ADE (cmd-shift-D if on Mac).
    Restart ADE, and then reauthorize with your (old) Adobe ID.
    In extreme cases on the mac, the following extra step has helped some people.  Navigate to /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Digital Editions and drag the activation.dat file to the trash.

  • Is there a way to bypass having to use an outgoing SMTP server?

    Hi all,
    I'm always mailing from different places with my MacBook, and it's a drag that I have to figure out the outgoing SMTP server the whole time.
    You don't have to fill in outgoing SMTP servers if you're using Thunderbird or Entourage, but I prefer working with mail because of it's Address Book & iCal integration.
    Is there a way NOT to have to fill in a local SMTP server, without transferring to a paid .mac account etc?

    Sounds like you've got it solved, but just for future reference, Google Mail (Gmail) allows you to use their outgoing mail servers for any email anywhere. I've got a Mac email, so I use the MobileMe Mail Server for that.
    But I've also got another email that's non-Mac that I use for a vacation rental property. It uses a domain I bought. Then all I did was create a Gmail email account and then I can use Gmail's outgoing mail server (smtp.gmail.com) for this other email that's neither a Gmail or Mac account. You need to create a Gmail account to make this work cuz it uses authentication (Gmail email and password) to allow access to Gmail's outgoing mail server. But you don't need to use the Gmail email at all.
    Hopefully this isn't too confusing. The bottom line to all this is I can use Gmail's outgoing mail server for any email address I have from anywhere in the world. I never have to change it.

  • HT4519 how do i get an additional SMTP server host?

    how do i get an additional SMTP server host?

    Can we start again.. My site is now online, I couldn't wait any longer because I need it for my buisness so I got rid of the code that wasn't working.
    But I still need a rollover text to appear so..
    1) I go into the code snippets and add a mouse over event
    2) In my actionscript I add your text: yourtextfield.text = "whatever text you want to show";
    So do I make an empty text field first, give it a name and replace "yourtextfield" with the name?
    Or do I replace "whatever text you want to show" with my text and thats just it?
    Or both?
    Or am I way off?

  • When I try to download books I purchased from Kobo I get the following error message: Error getting License. License Server Communication Problem: E IO CANNOT OPEN

    When I try to download books I purchased from Kobo I get the following error message: Error getting License. License Server Communication Problem: E IO CANNOT OPEN.
    I've spent hundred of dollars on books that I can't get access to! How can I fix this?

    I've been having the same issue! I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling ADE but that hasn't helped; I've even created a new Adobe ID and that was also a fruitless venture. I haven't yet tried to unauothorize my device, but I am hesitant to do so as it seems that others have tried and have not succeeded. I am desperately caught in the middle of a series and I would love to have access to the new books that I've been trying to download from my library!

  • Can I use an outgoing SMTP server (other than .me)

    Can I set up my Mail account to use an out going SMTP server other than .me? I want to use my .me (iCloud) account for incoming mail but want another server for my out going mail. (The reason is a need to keep an existing From: address rather than be required to use "[email protected]".)

    I think some networks restrict what smtp people use, I know that is true for my school. I think the answer this person is looking for is how is a quick way to choose the smtp. I think if the orinial poster selects new message, there is a littel black down arrow to the left of the subject line. If you press this down arrow and select customize, you could put a check box in the outgoing smtp field. Then you can select your out going mail server. But as for chaning your incoming mail server for all incoming email... well no... you can not determine what incoming email server you use for each account.
    @rpeskin The Apple Mail program, does a good job or seperating email accounts. Look for a "show" button on the top menu (somewhere under the red close dot.)

    or you can change your default email in the mail preferences.
