TS3276 my smtp server shows offline. I've tried taking all accounts offline and then back on with no effect

email was working fine and then I couldnt send mail from my bellsouth.net account. The smtp server is (offline). I tried taking all accounts offline and then back on. This didn't help.
I can send email from my iphone or webmal on my windows based desktop.
Any suggesstions? I'm not a very experienced Mac user.

What were the results of taking all the applicable steps in the support article?

  • Mail accounts keep going offline and then back on again

    I am using Mail 4.4 on OS 10.6.6. I have 9 different email accounts in my inbox from 4 different domains. All the domains are hosted on a reseller account so they are all on the same server. Mail is scheduled to check mail every 5 minutes and each time alternating accounts go either on or offline. This behaviour also happens on my iphone 4 with IOS6 and ipad 2 with IOS5.
    I am using the same setup and OS as I have been for the past year or so and it has been absolutely fine up until a few months ago. My ISP is being helpful and they have replicated the problem on one of their Macs but it doesn't happen on a PC. They are puzzled also.
    I read somewhere that the mail app has a short time out where it takes the account offline if there is no response and that having all email accounts on the same server might cause this problem. Not sure if this is correct advice however.
    I have turned off some of the accounts so that only 2 are in the inbox, its still happening but not as often. Anybody have any suggestions as its driving me mad.

    My brother and mother are having the same problem. We all three are on SBC Yahoo! DSL and all share GoDaddy-based email addresses. I'm clearly on a different part of the SBC Network - as I have rarely had problems with mail accounts kicking me offline, whereas they have the same problem you do - accounts are random and inconsistent when they kick offline.
    I've tried to research whether it's a GoDaddy, SBC or Mail issue. Thanks in advance!

  • How can I work offline and then re-synch with version control in SharePoint?

    I am using RoboHelp 11 with SharePoint 2010 for version control. How can I work off-line and then re-synch my files with SharePoint when reconnected?
    If I allow the connection to SharePoint to remain while working remotely through VPN, I am constantly annoyed by notices that "the underlying connection is lost."
    Thanks!
    Carol

    Until/unless a solution is available here's my proposed work-around:
    1.Check in all files from my primary project to SharePoint. (I have only one project.)
    2. Duplicate the project that is linked to SharePoint. Name it "Off-Line Project" so that I am always aware of the project I'm working on. Don't link Off-Line Project to source control/SharePoint.
    3. Before working off-line, import or overlay the latest version of all content (html) files from the SharePoint-linked project into Off-Line Project.
    4. Work off-line using only Off-Line Project.
    5. Returning to the office, get the latest version of all files from SharePoint. (eventually, I won't be the only person working on the project) import (or maybe just overlay using Windows Explorer?) the files I've worked on from Off-Line Project to the primary project.
    Feedback? Suggestions?

    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.

  • 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.
    M

    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.

  • Server 2003 offline - getting it back online

    I recently had the hard disk of my server replaced due to read/wright errors.  The tech that replaced the disk said that they cloned my old drive to the new and the operating info was intact.  When I started it again it appears to be running
    as before, but the computers on my network says the server is offline.  I have downed all the computers and then started the server first before the computers which is still giving me the same offline message.  I am not a computer tech so I need
    help.  How do I put my server back on-line with my network?

    Hi,
    Based on your description i could be a lot of things.  I would try first some basic steps to check if your server is is connected to your network.
    Check of all your drivers are configured. See this post for more information:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283658/en-us
    The next step i would do see of you your Network card of your server is configured correctly.
    Do you know you your server was configured with a static IP?
    see this video for configuring your server with a static ip
     Configuring
    IP Settings - Windows Server 2003 - YouTube
    Hope this helps you out.

  • HT1338 Software Update can't connect to the update server. Make sure you're connected to the Internet, and then try again

    I have been getting this message on MAC OS 10.6.3  "Software Update can’t connect to the update server. Make sure you’re connected to the Internet, and then try again". Internet is working fine for everything else. Updating to 10.6.8 and applying all the security updates and patches [directly downloading from the apple website] has not resolved the issue. Read somewhere about a software update enabler for 10.6, installed it, but not helping.. [not sure of the update server settings to be entered] .Is there no way to make the software update work from the Apple Start Menu??

    Problem solved.. Expired rules in Little Snitch caused the glitch

  • Since updating to OS X Yosemite, I am unable to save files into another computer or server. I have to save it on my desktop and then drag it into the server. How do i correct this?

    Since updating to OS X Yosemite, I am unable to save files into another computer or server. I have to save it on my desktop and then drag it into the server. How do i correct this?

    Ok this worked to solve the error.
    Use cmd prompt in windows 7 or 8 and run as admin:
    sc config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi
    sc config mrxsmb20 start= disabled
    No need for all that power shell nonsense as shown elsewhere for windows 8.
    That's it. Also force smb2 disabling on the apple side for good measure.
    With the above I was able to network mavericks and windows 8.1 pro flawlessly. He issues I had before where I could not read video, ISO and audio files (but could open documents and pictures from the windows machine connected to an apple network share folder went away.

  • Need to Go Offline and then Go Online For My Mail to arrive.

    That about says it: Apple Mail will be Online, and I can even use the GetMail button, but no mail arrives. But if I Go Offline, and then Go Online, 5 or 10 or more messages will arrive. This happened enough times to rule out the possiblity of coincidence....

  • 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.

  • TS3276 if smtp server yahoo is offline, what exactly does that mean? did yahoo take the server offline?

    IF YAHOO SMTP OUTGOING MAIL SERVER IS OFFLINE, DOES THAT MEAN YAHOO HAS TAKEN DOWN THAT SERVER?, OR IS THAT SERVER BEEN TAKEN DOWN FOR SOME SORT OF MAINTENANCE?, OR IS THAT SERVER HAVE PROBLEMS? WOULD APPRECIATE A KNOWLEDGABLE
    ANSWER, IF ANYONE KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE.
    THANKS.....FRANK

    well it's back online, so i guess they(yahoo) fixed their SMTP server. I can now send mail from my mac. Other
    people have also had this issue, so i hope they're able to send mail.

  • SMTP server going "offline"

    I have a Cox email address set up in the Mail application, and have been having some trouble sending mail. Receiving is fine, just appears to be a problem with the outgoing mail servers.
    I am using smtp.west.cox.net for my outgoing smtp server. But, no matter what I do, it keeps going "offline".
    I've made sure my account information is 100% correct, and double checked it 1000 times.
    I've run the Mail Connection Doctor and it says that:
    1) Mail was able to connect to the internet
    2) It could not connect to thins SMTP server.
    What is going on, and how am I supposed to fix this?
    UPDATE:
    Also, for some reason, there is a constant Apple spinner not stopping, next to the "Sending..." label on the sidebar on the left of the Mail app.
    How can I make that stop?
