TS3276 Trouble Sending Email Through Mail

I'm havng trouble sending email through Mail on MacBook Pro. I'm using Lion and everything is up to date. I receive email just fine, but when I go to reply the little wheel thingy just spins and spins, and eventually my emails get sent to the Out box and are never sent. It's an AT&T email account that I'm using. If I go through Yahoo, I can send the emails just fine, but I'd much rather use Mail. Any ideas on what to do? This just started.

You have a setting wrong OR. I also use ATT/Yahoo mail for some of my email accounts and earlier this morning the ATT/Yahoo email system was down.
If that is not the problem, ATT/Yahoo system down, then it is simply you do not have the SMTP settings correct.
The server address is smtp.att.yahoo.com and you must have your complete email address, [email protected]/net where attdomian is bellsouth/att/southwest(not sure if that is one of them)/whatever DOT com or net for your domain. It has to included what comes after the @ sign. Some email programs strip what comes after the @ sign out of your logon info. And of course you must have the correct password entered.

TS3276 I receive a pop up from ICal saying the server does not recognize me user name and password. This started yesterday. I have no problems with receiving or sending emails through Mail

I receive a pop-up from ICal saying the server does not recognize my user name and password for my me.com email address. This started yesterday and occurs about every 5 minutes or so. There are no problems with receiving or sending email through Mail. I did change me email password several days ago but have no problems sending/receiving since then.

I fixed the problem. I opened Preferences in ICal and entered my new password. No more pop-ups

Occasional trouble sending emails with Mail

When I try to send emails through Mail, about 1 in 5 messages seems to have trouble sending. What happens is, I click send, the sending icon has a little activity sign for way longer than it takes to normally send an email, and ultimately a few minutes later I get this error message:
"Cannot send message using the server
smtpout:secureserver.net:(myid@mydomainname).com
The connection to the server “smtpout.secureserver.net” on port 80 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 delivered.
Sending from: me <(myid@mydomainname).com>"
Normally I then click "edit message" and then try sending, and it usually goes through fine. This started about a year ago, and I have just been dealing with it, but now I'm realizing that the problem may result in multiple versions of the same email being sent, so I'd like to get it solved!
It seems to happen with yahoo and comcast, etc., emails on the receiving end.

this always happens on my desktop iMac (the usual computer I use), which is connected to the internet via my Airport/ wirelessly. My ISP hasn't changed, and I haven't heard from them about any issues... and I don't seem to have trouble connecting to the internet otherwise - it's just when sending through Mail, and just with certain addresses (as far as I can tell).
For example, occasionally I'll send an email through my webmail (same email address, same ISP, same computer, but via the webmail site on my internet browser), and I've never had trouble with the outgoing mail there. If I use my husband's Windows-based laptops or PC (on the same ISP, same cable modem, connected either wirelessly or wired) and do webmail, no problem there either
This leads me to believe that it's the way that Mail is trying to send, trying to connect to the outgoing server or something? Especially because the message apparently IS sending - maybe Mail is just not getting confirmation back from the recipient's server? I can't rely on the message having gone through, but it seems most recipients are ultimately receiving the message twice - when it comes back to me with an error, and again when I successfully send.
Can I try reconfiguring my outgoing message Mail settings? I don't know what other settings to try...

TS3276 When I try sending emails through Mail with my iCloud account, it says "Unable to Sign Message"

I cannot send messgaes through Mail with my iCloud account. Whenever I try sending them, it tells me "Unable to sign message".
Does anybody know how to fix it?

Check if you have set the correct language and country in your Apple TV. Maybe you are trying to connect to the wrong iTunes store.

Loaded Outlook mobile app and now I can't send emails through Mail ("Unable to verify account information" error message). Can't use the Authenticator number, either. Help!

I installed the Outlook mobile app on my iPhone using my Hotmail email address and the authenticator code. It works, but I can no longer send emails from Mail. I have not forgotten the password, so I don't know why I am unable to send messages from my mail email account (linked to Hotmail) in Mail. Should I delete the Outlook mobile app? Please help! Thanks.

Still can't send emails through Mail for my Hotmail Account!!!

Hi,
It's been weeks now without being able to send email from my 'Mail' programme which is linked to my Hotmail account.
All I get is a message coming up saying:
'Cannot send message using the server Hotmail'
'Connections to the server "smtp.live.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'
Where I have the option to choose an outgoing mail server the only choice I have is 'Hotmail' which displays as 'Offline'
What the **** is going on?????
Is this to do with Hotmail now changing to 'Outlook'???
Help!!

Hey,
I found this worked for me, just check your hotmail settings are as follows
You change your POP to IMAP like this
Outlook.com does support IMAP and SMTP.
Incoming server:
IMAP: imap-mail.outlook.com
Port: 993
Encrypted Connection: SSL
Outgoing server:
SMTP: smtp-mail.outlook.com
Port: 25 or 587
Encrypted Connection: TLS
Username: Your Username
Password: Your Password
This won't work on mac os x mail unless you disable pop in your outlook.com account first. If you have mac os x mail, and you don't disable pop in your outlook.com account first, mail will automatically setup pop and smtp.

TS3276 Trouble sending email - receiving working fine

I have both Charter and GMail email accounts (used for different purposes). When I first moved to the MAC last November, both types of accounts worked perfectly. Mail was received and sent easily.
Now I am having a difficult time sending email from the Charter accounts. I can receive mail in all accounts easily, but when I send an email (reply or new, with or without attachments), the Charter accounts take a LOOOOOONG time. Frequently the Charter account times out and then I am asked if I want to use the GMail server to send the email. This does NOT always fix the problem.
This is now happening almost all the time on the Charter accounts. When an email is taking too long to send, if I quit Mail and then re-open Mail, the email messages in the Outbox will usually send right away.
I have access to the Internet; receiving email from all accounts is working fine, and GMail usually sends email fine.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to improve sending of email time?
Thanks

TS3276 Trouble sending email

In sending an email with an attachment I received this message: "Cannot send message using the server road runner. The server ""smtp-server.wi.rr.com"" refused to allow a connection on the default ports."
How do I fix this so I can send emails? I receive emails just fine.

Mail has two parts, the sending and receiving paths. You have the receive path working (POP, apparently), and problems with the sending (SMTP) path, and your provider doesn't appear overly fond of documenting the generic requirements for the POP/IMAP and SMTP details for mail clients.
It appears that your ISP requires you to configure the sending path to use TCP port 25 (with SSL disabled?), which is an unusual and problematic choice; that port is commonly blocked outbound by various other networks, though your provider's available documentation is lacking. Here is some more detail from another part of your ISP's web site (indicating there's no security?) on these ports.
Based on what's posted and if you're not on your local ISP's network, then you may have issues reaching your email provider's servers. It's common practice to block outbound connections to port 25 on a number of networks.
To get to the SMTP server (outbound) configuration in Apple Mail.app, select Mail > Preferences > Accounts and then select the associated account, and switch the Select Outgoing SMTP Server to its Edit SMTP Server setting, then select the matching SMTP server for your ISP, then turn off SSL security, and switch to port 25.
After you get this working and strictly as a test, I'd also see if SSL can be enabled, and still allow a connection. (This to determine if the ISP's documentation is incorrect or outdated, and if security can be enabled.)
FWIW, I'd make very certain you never re-use the password that's set with your ISP's email password anywhere else; not having SSL enabled on both the sending or the receive path means that your credentials are transmitted in cleartext.

Trouble Sending email with Mail.

I just upgraded to Lion 2 weeks ago and now after a power outage (2days out) I am having issues sending emails with my desktop (ethernet- hardwired). My Laptop was fine yesterday (wireless) but not working today. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your time and advice.

Well, since your iPhone receives perfectly, use it as the model to set up your iPad and MacBook Air.
On your iPhone, check Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > (your Yahoo account). Check the Incoming Mail Server settings, particularly the host name and server port (if you have that, it may be under "Advanced").
Make sure they're set the same on your iPad. On your Mac, in Mail, go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and look under your Yahoo account.

Trouble sending emails from mail app

Hi!
I am having trouble with the mail app on my Macbook Pro. I can recieve emails on the app but i can't send them. The outgoing server keeps saying offline. I phoned apple support this morning and was told to contact MSN about the outgoing server information- the information they provided me matches the information in the app. I have noticed that a lot of people are having this problem and i have tried a number of solutions that people have provided. Nothing seems to work for me.
Can anybody help?
Thanks!

If a lot of people are having this problem, it indicates that the issue is not with your computers but with the outgoing mail server you are trying to use. All you can do it wait until your email provider (MSN) gets the server back up and running, or you can switch to another email provider.
Best of luck.

Having trouble sending email through aol after upgrading to Lion

Just updated to Mountain Lion, hoping that would fix the problem. Have been having problems intermittently since upgrading to Lion. Receiving messages fine, but cannot forward or send new mail. Help!

Set up the Outgoing Mail Server per your ISP's requirements.

Cannot send Email with Mail since updated to 10.7.2, they stay in my Send Box...

Since I updated, I cannot send Email through Mail, it works with Thunderbird though.

Just FYI, I've had the same problem for months now. I have been accessing my hotmail via the web, but decided to try the OS X Mail app. I could get emails into the account with no problem but couldn't send. I read all the blog and support entries and have tried everything they recommended, like changing my computer name to one word, without success. Then last night, it just so happened that my broadband provider had to change out my wireless modem. As soon as he plugged in the new one, some emails that had been in my outbasket for a month went through instantly and all of a sudden my Mail, both incoming and outgoing now work. So I think people need to look at their router settings for the a solution to the problem.

Problem sending email through iCloud

For the past 3 days I have not been able to send email through MAIL on my mac. I contacted Apple and they said they are working on it. I noticed this morning that my whole address book had been duplicated. Is anyone else experiencing similair issues?

Cannot send email through yahoo on iPad 4, apple.smtp.mail.yahoo not available as of December 1, 2012

I am unable to send emails through yahoo on my ipad 4 wifi, just starting over the weekend. My 3 other non-yahoo email accounts are working fine on my ipad. When I try to send an email from the yahoo account, I receive the message that the connection to the outgoing mail server "apple.smtp.mail.yahoo" failed. I can send email through yahoo just fine on the web and on my computer through Thunderbird.

Yahoo's been having persistently random issues for months. You can try just waiting it out, or delete and readd your yahoo account. When my accounts were affected I just used webmail to access my yahoo accounts until it cleared up.
Chances are it's all on their end and really all you can do is wait it out.

Can't send email through my aol mail on my iPad 2 after updating to iOS 7

I had to update m iPad because I was no longer able to work a lot of my apps because they kept telling me that there was an update that I had to do in order to even work my apps! I was very reluctant to do it in the first place fearing that I would loose a lot of my pics, videos and or more! Anyway so the other day I sat down and finally did it. After updating my iPad 2 to the new operating system of iOS 7 now I cannot send emails through my aol mail on my iPad. I tried putzing with the settings for smtp and to no avail nothing, I then decided well maybe downloading the aol app would help but still not good enough because it takes up so much room that I had to delete some apps just to get it. I had since deleted the aol app and am still trying to figure out why I keep getting the message I am getting is incorrect] hen it gives me two options which are option 1) Settings and option 2) Cancel. I am in need of assistance here because I can receive mail but cannot send it. Oh and I am able to send mail through my other email addresses on my iPad mail including my me.com and iCloud.com as well as two others but am not able to send through aol. I am loosing my patience with apple very quickly as one why did I have to update the system and why am I forced to update my apps which I feel is completely ridiculous in the first place. Everything was fine until I had to do that and now I cannot keep my iPad on for more then an hour when the battery drains so quickly now because I guess it takes up so much unneeded space! PLEASE HELP ME!

Hello, PriestessJeanann.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is an article I would recommend going through when experiencing issues with mail. The usual fix would be to delete the email account in question and add this account via the preset AOL option. I would also recommend checking with your email provider for security procedures such as two-step verification as this could cause this issue.
