  • Mail Server "Type" and Mail Server "Address" for Incoming & Outgoing Mail

    First, the only browser I use is Mozilla's Firefox, the best browser hands down. Second, I have both a Yahoo email account and a Google "gmail" account that I use regularly (daily). I am trying to set up a mail washing program to rid myself of these ridiculous spammers & scammers, however I need to the the Incoming & Outgoing mail server "type" & "address" to do this and I seem to have guessed the yahoo settings, but I can't seem to get the Google gmail account set up properly. Yahoo settings that worked are: Server Type="POP3" and Server Address="pop.mail.yahoo.com", with advanced settings: Secure Authentication=Required, Secure Connection (SSL)=Required, Store Cached Emails=Yes, Server Port Number=995 (set), Pipelining=Enabled. The equivalent settings for the Google gmail account result in an error message = "Failed to log into POP3 Server". Of course user name & password triple checked, Type=POP3, Address=pop.mail.gmail.com, and , Address="pop.gmail.com" tried also, Port and other settings the same. Where can I find this info for both accounts? Tanks a million! -jw

    Yahoo and Gmail support should be able to help you.
    Not related to Firefox support, web mail doesn't use POP or SMTP protocols which is what email clients such as Thunderbird use for communicating with email servers.

  • Outgoing mail is not working on the Macbook Pro

    Hey
    I am using the mail client to read my gmail mails in my Macbook Pro. Incoming and outgoing emails were working fine and all of a sudden for the last 2 days my outgoing mails are not working and i get this error" the sender address blah blah.com was rejected by the server".
    I reentered my cred in the pref pane and it still does not work. I am able to send mails fine using the browser. Incoming mails is fine is fine on the client.
    Any idea what is causing this error?
    Thanks

    I'm not sure why this worked fine for a period of time but most, if not all ISPs use for connecting to the internet block the use of SMTP servers outside of their network (or not provided by the ISP) on Port 25. Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only that is outside of their network on Port 25 but some block its use regardless.
    These restrictions are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.
    Something to try.
    Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for the account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below.
    Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
    If this doesn't work, you need to add your ISP's SMTP server to mail and select this SMTP server to send mail with your gmail account which is invisible to all recipients.

    My work computer (this mac) i use with my private icloud account so I have access to my private calendars etc. My husband's airbook is also connected to that icloud (since I only have 1 icloud account) and so is our shared ipad. Is that where the problem is? Do I need to change everything on those devises into my name too? Thanks again for you time and help!
    So you are sharing the account. Very bad idea.
    Get your husband his own account and stop sharing yours, they are free.

  • What is apple's incoming/outgoing mail server for iphone 4?

    I am trying to setup receiving email from my apple email address on my iphone 4.
    what is apple's incoming/outgoing mail server for iphone 4?  Thanks

    For a MobileMe account?
    If so, this is not needed. Use the MobileMe account preset and the incoming and outgoing mail servers will be set up automatically.

  • HT1338 Outgoing mail suddenly stopped working:-(

    My outgoing mail suddenly stopped working - need help to reconfigure.
    Thanks

    I had that issue once too. I turned off my Internet sources (AirPort, ethernet connection) and then opened Mail. Mail actually opened that time. I went to my accounts, deleted them, closed Mail. I then turned on my Internet connection and reopened Mail, reimported my accounts, and everything has been fine since.
    Just a note: I was using IMAP, so everything I wanted on my Mail was on the server, so by deleting my accounts nothing changed. If you're using POP(3), you may experience different issues. By turning off your Internet connections, you can at least determine if Mail is having issues connecting to a server or if the bug is something else.
    Good luck - I'm sure others will have several different suggestions here.

  • TS2621 why my outgoing mail server not working after ios 6 upgraded

    why my outgoing mail server not working after ios 6 upgraded

    Ask your carrier to send you the settings over wifi and then install them that way.
    I'm on giffgaff and I used the giffgaff app from the store to sort this out.
    Overall though I must say Apple has let itself down on this as why isn't something written in the ios script that keeps the original settings??
    Very Poor indeed and I held off using Apple products for years for this very reason!!

  • Mail Sounds Stop Working

    My mail sounds all work fine after a restart, but then stop working after some period of time. All my sound settings are correct, and volume is turned up. I hear all other system sounds and sound on other apps.

    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • TS3276 outgoing mail does not work on telus

    Everything works for incoming on my telus account, yet my outgoing that is setup exactly link my ipad does not work at all.  Any help.

  • Outgoing mail server will work on Iphone but not Mail on Macbook

    My POP account will send mail on my iphone no problem, but on the mail program on my macbook it times out. All the account information is identical. The mail program keeps telling the server does not support port 995, but on the Iphone it does. I have tried changing the port but it still won't work. Suggestions please!

    misilulu, outgoing mail uses the SMTP protocol on ports, 25, 587 (for submission only) and, in the case of SMTPS, port 465 (rarely used and deprecated).
    The POP is used for incoming mail on ports 110 or, in the case of POP over SSL, 993.
    If all the settings between your iPhone and your MacBook are the same and you are having problems sending outgoing email on your MacBook it is most likely because you are using the wrong port. If you are using port 25 then it is most likely that your ISP is blocking that port for all mail servers except their own. If that is the case try the mail submission port 587. If that doesn't work then try 465 as a last resort.

  • Yahoo outgoing mail server not working.

    My yahoo outgoing server not working on iPod touch or iPad it says apple.smtp.yahoo failed...incoming is ok so far...this outgoing mail failure just started about a couple of days back....anyone else having this problem?????what should I do?rediffmail account does not get set up either so just unable to use any of my emails. :(

    Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
    I get 100% success pinging mail.adelphia.net, and if at your home venue where Adelphia is your ISP, then I think no separate Authentication is required. Port 25 would be the proper port. However, if you are not at home, and the provider of internet connection limits you to using only authenticated SMTP then you would not able to use mail.adelphia.net as the Outgoing Server.
    Are you at the venue where Adelphia is the ISP?
