TS3276 My email is yahoo, can receive mail but can't send, any suggestions?

Just got new MacBook air. Having trouble with email, can receive mail but cant send. Any suggestions?

If you still have the MobileMe account setting up the Mail App should be very simple BUT if you do not you WILL need the incoming and outgoing server setting and the easiest way is to follow the email cheat sheet by apple
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1277
You WILL need to contact your Email Service Provider for this

  • I can receive mail, but I cannot send mail, my mobile broadband is 3 and my server is BT

    I can receive mail, but I cannot send mail, my mobile broadband is 3 and my server is BT. I have been to the Apple Store today. They did not resove my problem. Can anybody help?

    Try this. Check the primary outgoing mail server username and password and make sure that they are in the settings even if it says that they are optional.
    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.

  • Problem: Cannot send mail unless Password is transmitted insecurely & Port is set to 587.. Can receive mail but can't send..

    Problem: Cannot send mail unless Password is transmitted insecurely & Port is set to 587.. Can receive mail but can't send Code 501..
    Need help with T-bird.. My OS is Win XP-64..Have been using Mozilla for about 10 years with little or no problems.. This happened when I upgraded to 3.17.. Spent hours on T-Bird diagnostics web site.. Called Comcast & talked to a net tech.. he ran some tests on his end & had me log into my Comcast e-mail account & all worked well,, so he concluded the problem was in T-Bird.. He had me change my port to 587 & disable connection security & authentication to none & I was able to send mail.. That was all he could do.. Comcast was working.. the problem is in T-Bird.. Can any one help with this problem.. I don't want to send mail with my password transmitted insecurely..
    Thanks

    It was not intended to be "snide". You said two separate things that at face value would be out of the ordinary.
    I considered if it might be a typo for 31.7. Since 31.5 is the current formal release, I would have to thank you for volunteering to test a pre-release beta version. If it was truly 3.1.7 then it would appear that you have chosen, or have become stuck with a somewhat ancient version. In either case it's harder to reach out to you with any meaningful comments or advice. However I do watch various other sites and newsgroups and I don't see a clamour of distressed users, so it seems fair to suppose that this feature isn't actually broken in 31.7.
    And you said XP 64. XP is obsolete and no longer supported and if there is a 64-bit version, then again you have set yourself apart from the mainstream.
    I had a look at the comcast site and found some puzzling recommendations. Some users come here asking how to set up a secured connection in Thunderbird when it isn't offered by the server. Comcast are different, in that they mention the ports 143 and 587, and also 993 and 465. So far so good, in that security is actually on offer, but they also suggest that you enable SSL, regardless of which port is being used. It would be unusual and unconventional to offer TLS or SSL on ports 143 and 587. STARTTLS would be more credible on these ports.
    Have you tried IMAP on 993 and SMTP on 465? SMTP on 587 with SSL, or TLS, is not impossible, but is improbable.

  • Can receive mail, but unable to send mail

    am able to receive mail, but unable to send any whether through Mail or Entourage.
    didn't have this problem yesterday. Strangely enough, i am still able to send mail through my yahoo.com account. so there's nothing wrong with my connection.
    is there any fix to the problem encountered in my Mail.app?

    Did you accidently change the port through which you send mail?
    What smtp server do you use to send mail out? and please check the port number of that outgoing mail. It should be 25 for your own internet provider.

  • HT1277 i can receive mail but unable to send mail

    i can receive mail but unable to send mail

    I'm yet another person who upgraded to Maverick OSX. I'm now thinking, "BIG mistake". Mail was working perfectly. Then, last night, Mail stopped sending.
    I've checked everything. Comcast servers are set up correctly. Mail works fine on my ipad, but will not send. It gives me a SMPT error of "Cannot send message using the server comcast.net--authentication rejected" Comcast.net (Offline). I can not get it back online. I've also tried the fixes here, but there is no info.plist by those names in my library!
    Anyone have any other ideas how to get this working again? Apple's OS's have been pretty decently stable in the past. I had no thought that the upgrade would be so problematic. Live and Learn.
    Thanks for any suggestions.

  • Can receive mail but can not send mail

    With IMAP AT&T Account I can receive emails with no problem but can not send out emails.  AT&T says it is a Mac Mail issue because I can send and receive with no problem on the internet.
    Can someone please help me with the settings that should be put into the Outgoing mail server SMTP settings.  It always shows the server as 'Offline'.
    Thanks

    They (AT&T) needs to provide you with the proper Outgoing Mail Server setting.

  • Have a ipod 4th gen can receive mail but can't send mail anybody have the same problem?

    i have a 4th gen ipod touch, i can't send emails but i can receive them can anybody help fix this problem?

    You have an error or omission in the entries for the outgoing server.  Somtimes it is easier to delete the account on the iPod and recreate it rather than trying to find the error.  If you give us you provider and type of account (POP3, IMAP, Exchange) we may be able to provide more detailed information.

  • Can receive mail but can't send.

    After an hour or so with my ISP on the issue of not being able to send mail, I discovered that someone was sending spam through my wireless network, and consequently mail was being blocked by spamhaus.org. Check you wireless, it could save a lot of time.

    Michael,
    Your post does not appear to be a question so you should mark it as answered anyway so that other Discussion members see that it is not a post that requires an answer.

  • I can log on icloud on pc but when i enter password on my ipad mini first gen with ios8 it tells me wrong password. and i can receive mail but cannot send any mail via icloud, gmail, yahoo never had to set this up with ios7. how do i resolve this?

    I updated my ipad mini first gen 32gig (4.3gig free) to run ios8 8.0(12A365) and i have a problem sending emails. i can receive mail but when i send it fails. my dropbox works fine, safari, and other apps work fine on the internet just the receiving of mail. Do i need to add a new outgoing server, though i dont remeber having to do this when i updated to ios7. how do i resolve this?

    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.

    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.

  • HT4199 On my iPad I can receive mail but cannot forward to anyone.

    I can receive mail but cannot send any.

    go to
    Settings > Mail > your account > Outgoing Mail Server > Primary Server > Password
    and put your password in here. 
    If this does not immediately solve your problem, then check out the other outgoing settings against what your email service provider requires.

    To diagnose problems with Thunderbird, try the following:
    *Restart the operating system in '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safe_mode safe mode with Networking]'''. This loads only the very basics needed to start your computer while enabling an Internet connection.
