TS3276 Mail Connection Doctor says: "Could not connect to Apple Server's STMP. As Verizon is my ISP is this the right STMP? If yes, how do I connect to Apple Server

When using Mail Connection Doctor two error messages come up with regards to sending and receiving mail from my @mac.com account.
The first one says that my @mac.com account: "Could not connect to this MobileMe IMAP server." How do I fix this? Is this caused by the way I have set my preferences? Is this related to joing iCloud? Or my ISP Verizon the problem?
The second one says in reference to my Apple Server: "Could not connect to this STMP server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the Account perferences. Also verify that the server supports SSL. If it does not, deselect the "Use SSL checkbox in the Advanced tabe of Account preferences." This box was not checked. Two days ago these problems did not exist. Again, how do I figure out who to discusses these problems with?
Feedback is most welcome.

IChat Connection Alert says: Could not connect to AIM

Error continues: Your screen name has been suspended and cannot be used to log in.'
But I can log in to AIM (SM) with the same login name, so you would think if it was suspended i wouldnt be able to use it on the AIM application either? Is this just an Ichat issue?
I have restarted and still doesnt work. I may have used AIM like 3 years ago, but not recently, so i dont know why it would be suspended. Also, I added an AIM address in my address book but it doesnt have a link, it is just black text.
thanks

Hi ekr,
Welcome to the Apple Discussion Pages.
I think you are saying that a name you use in iChat does not seem to log in when using iChat but does when you use the AIM standalone application.
Adding a Screen name, whether it is an @mac or AIM name, to the AIM spot on your Me Card in the Address Book will only show as Text. It will not be a link to anywhere.
Try deleting com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist from /Users/(your account)/Library/Preferences and restarting iChat.
You may have to go through the Start Up Screens again.

My macbook pro with OS 10.6.7 'mail' program does not send my mail through the IPS wireless, I am connected to. The message is my 'e-mail is rejected by the server'. It has been working until 5 days ago. The connection doctor says I am connected and no log in required.
After trying lots I found now in 'Airport Utility is 'unable to detect any airport wireless devises.....'
There is no provider to be seen in airport utility and only 'rescan' is an option with no results...
even so I am connected and can browse the net receive mail etc. and the outgoing 'mail server' is set to the internet provider I am connected to.
Can you enlighten me what can I do I need to use my e-mail program urgently !!!
Thanks for your help

I'm not sure what "IPS wireless" is, but unless you have an Apple Wi-Fi base station (such as a Time Capsule, AirPort Extreme, or AirPort Express), AirPort Utility won't see anything.
You might try defining a new SMTP server to see if that will work any better.
By the way, the subject field for these messages isn't intended to hold a lot of text. Put a short description of your problem in the subject field and save the rest of your message for the body field.

I can send mail through Safari and my iPad, but not through Mail. Suggestions? Connection doctor says I am connected to the Internet.

I have checked the server, checked connections, still cannot send mail.

It says: "Cannot send message using server [email protected] (MobileMe)
Connections to the server “smtp.me.com” on the default ports 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 sent."
The Connection Doctor says nothing is wrong and I am connected to the Internet. (Thanks.)

Mail won't send but Connection Doctor says smtp account OK.

Mail won't send but Connection Doctor says smtp account OK.
I can receive mail but can't send it from Mail 3.5. Same problem on a wired G5 and on a wi-fi MacBook (using the same account), so not hardware related. Worked fine 'till today - I didn't change anything in between times. Incoming mail no problem. Tried mail rebuild, keychain first aid, deleting the account, repair disk permission - doesn't help.
Mail's connection doctor says "smpt.xxxxxx - connection to server succeeded, no login required."
Anybody any ideas? Thanks, N

Been having the same problem for a few weeks now. This has been working just fine, and all of a sudden - nothing. The update to 10.5.6 didn't do anything to fix this either.
I've spent numerous hours on the phone with the Apple support. Seeing as the two other accounts that I have configured work with no problem, they say that this is a problem with the provider which is also the ISP. I then called the support line for the ISP and informed them of this and they say that it's a problem with the software.
Interestingly, if I send a message to somone with the same ISP, the message will go. But I can't send a message outside of the provider. Does anyone else have this problem?
Also, from another forum, they suggested rebuilding the LaunchServices database. The Apple support didn't see what that would do. But I tried it anyway and the problem still exists.
Another intesting thing is certificates. It's only happened twice, but I've received the message saying that Mail can't verify the certificate XXXXX which validates the identity of the smtp. Anyone else get this? I thought perhaps I could delete the certificate and it would magically reappear. But when I go into KeyChain, the certificate is listed only under System Root and I can't delete it.
ideas?

Mail fail - smtp won't send, connection doctor says fine.

Hi Guys,
I've been searching around t'interweb and I can't see to find a fix for this. Mac mail has always been really solid for me, but in the past couple of months mine has gone wonky. First it stopped searching, which again despite trying various things I found and re-installing the whole system, I could not fix.
Now, and more disastrously it has stopped allowing me to send emails through the SMTP server.
It throws up a dialog box saying could not send through this server, try another.
I contacted my exchange mail provider, have gone through settings, and they all seem fine. They've tested it all from their end too. They even issued me an alternate SMTP server and that doesn't work either. Argh. When I run connection doctor it can log in fine. But when I send mail it gets stuck.
Any thoughts its seriously messing up my day/evening/life at the moment.
Help much appreciated.

The typical problem when the SMTP requires no separate authentication, is that it must use Port 25, but more and more connection providers are blocking Port 25, as it is the least secure again misuse. For those venues where Port 25 use is still permitted, you often must be approved to use it by the IP address of the modem. You have said this problem is present when you are at more than one venue and mention the use of a dongle. Has the modem at any venue changed, and might some ISPs involved have recently acted to block Port 25?
You should investigate whether your Exchange provider can offer you a fully authenticated SMTP that will allow you to use either Port 587 or Port 465.

Email frozen, connection doctor say ok but can't send or receive through apple mail. Works ok when opened using safari

My apple e-mail has suddenly stopped working. Connection doctor say everything is fine (no connection problems) If accessed through safari account works fine. Also have had to "force quit" on a number of occassions. Any help much appreciated.
Am a bit miffed with apple wanting payment to fix something that appears to be a bug on a machine that is less than 1 yr old

Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

When I try to use FaceTime on my Macbook Air, I try to verify the email I want people to call me with, and it says verified, but soon an message comes up that says "Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again."

So our school lets us use Macbook Airs for the school year, and it has facetime on it. I know facetime isn't blocked because like everyone else is using it. So I decide to give it a try. I click the icon, it says enter your apple ID. I dont have one, so I click to make one, and do so. I then enter my apple ID and click next. The screen reads "People will call you using your email address. What email address would you like to use?" I enter my email address in the box below the message, and then go to my email and click the link, and sign in, thus verifying the email. I go back to the facetime window, and click next. At the top it says Verified, but when I click next it doesn't go on to the next step, it simply blacks out the next button so that I can not click it, and after a few minutes a message comes up that says "Could not verify the email address. Please check your network connection and try again."
So that is the issue, please help!!!!!
*Note-I repeat that I know it is not blocked by the school because everyone else uses it just fine.*

Hello BassoonPlayer,
Since you are using one of the the school's Macbooks, it is quite possible that the time and date are not properly set on the computer that you are using. FaceTime will not work if you do not have the proper time zone set up for the location that you are in. This past week, there were a two other Macbook users I've helped by simply telling them to set the Date/Time properly. By the way, you described your problem very well, which makes it easier for us to help you. Hope this solves your problem -- if not, post back and I can suggest other remedies.

Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

What model is your phone and what OS are you trying to install. iOS 7 can only be installed on certain phones.
Maybe someone knows the specifics?
