TS3899 outgoing mail server changes spontaneously

My outgoing mail server settings for my domain email (Imap compliant) have spontaneously changed a couple of times now, and it seems to be related to when I update my iPhone software. Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks!

Who is your e-mail provider?
It depends on your e-mail provider, check their website for outgoing port.
Try 587.

IPhone 2.0 Outgoing Mail Server changes

It appears that the outgoing mail server settings in 2.0 are trying to alleviate the problems of switching between your ISP and AT&T (i.e. WIFI to Edge/3G) so that our non compatible email accounts will work in both environments for outgoing mail. Has anyone seen a thread or Apple article that addresses this area of the new software as I would like to understand it better? Seems that my attempts to set up multiple outgoing servers has caused my mail program to get stuck in sending emails. Thanks!

The only way I was able to get my iPhone to check for mail automatically and actually download it was to delete the accounts and re-enter them. After they were re-entered, Mail worked automatically on my ISP mail account as it did before I updated, Push works on my .MAc account, and all my old messages appeared as well (i.e., deleting the accounts did not remove the messages I had stored).

Why doesn't the smtp (outgoing mail server) change on switch locations

It would seem to me that when you choose Apple, locations and then select a new location, the Mail program should know that it should use the new smtp server.
I have dsl from at&t or the old southwestern bell. They have blocked sending to any other smtp server on port 25 while I am at my home.
I know how to switch them and recieve the prompt when it fails to select a different server. I know how to do this. However, other people who I have converted to the Apple platform, are displeased that it doesn't know to switch. This person is not technical and doesn't want to be technical.
In their terms, they just want it to work.
For right now, I told her to go into preferences, accounts within mail and to switch back and forth. I told her I would find a better solution.
discussions.apple.com shows a lot of people complaining about outgoing mail but not a lot of solutions on switching back and forth.
Anybody have any suggestions? I still think that when you switch the location, it should change your outbound smtp server.

How do I change my password on the outgoing mail server?

Getting a "Cannot Send Mail. The user name or password for "SMTP:[email protected]@smtp.aol.com" is incorrect" and I can not send any mail messages. The Outgoing mail server data is greyed out so I can not make changes. What do I do?

If you cannot access the SMTP server that way, then you need to remove the account from the phone and add it back again from scratch.

You say you have the pse 5 disk?
I guess you do't have a dvd drive on your new windows 8 computer?
Do you have access to another computer with a dvd drive?
Anyway if you can find another computer with a dvd drive you could copy the pse 5 install disc to removable device like a camera card or flash drive.
You can also buy cheap usb dvd drives.

You may need to change the configuration of Mail to have the SMTP (outgoing) mail server provide authentication. Many email ISPs will not allow remote use of their servers without authentication. Check with your provider to find out what type of authentication they use. Start with Mail Preferences > Accounts > Account Information.
Select "Edit SMTP Server List" from the dropdown menu.
Select your server then:
And configure the Advanced setion.

Changing Location and Outgoing mail server

When I change Location, I need to change the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) (my ISP blocks mail traffic). Is there a way to make the smtp server different for each Location you have defined? Right now, I have to manually switch the Mail.app preferences each time I connect to a new Location, or wait for Mail.app to try to send the mail at which point it puts up a failure dialog where I can change the outgoing server for that message.
thanks.

It would be nice to define an SMTP server for each account depending on the ISP being used for connecting to the internet and even better, the computer determining the ISP being used for connecting to the internet and automatically making the appropriate SMTP server change for each account but computers aren't quite there or that smart yet.
There is a collection of AppleScripts called Mail Scripts you can download at this link.
http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
The script to use from the collection of scripts is Change SMTP Server (Mail) which provides for switching between different already defined SMTP servers or define a new one. This is especially useful if you are using your computer in more than one location and have to switch servers for several accounts at once.
At least this script makes it a little easier.

I get the"message delivery failed."
the server "mail.nw.centurytel.net" did not recognize the folling recipients:"
then it list the people that did nto get the message.
"the server response was: 5.1.1 '<johndoe_isp.net>... User unknown
"You can try to send using a different server. All messages will use this server until you quit or change your network settings."
Here is where I think the problems lies.

I want to change that setting in the dialog box but it does not havr any other choices for me.
Then at the bottom of the box there are choices
"?" "edit message" "use selected server" "try again later"

How to change the primary outgoing mail server in iphone

I am trying to change the primary outgoing mail server from Yahoo to another mail which is my internet provider. I do not know the steps to complete this in my iphone thanks

If you have more than one email account on your phone, you can change the default account under Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>Default Account. Note that this setting does not appear unless you have more than one account on your phone. So, you'll need to add the email account from your ISP under Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Add New Account if you have not already done so.

I need to change my password for outgoing mail server but it won't let me

I Need to change my password for outgoing mail server on iPad 2 but it won't let me change it. I can't send out mail

I assume that you mean that the setting is grayed out and that is what "it won't let me" means. Have you tried selecting another SMTP server of you have another one available in the settings?

IMail keeps changing outgoing mail server to one that is offline

Since installing Lion, my outgoing mail server keeps changing to [email protected], which always shows up as offline. I keep changing it to stmp.me.com:deannanel and check "use only this server" to get my mail sent.
Next time I try to send mail, the outgoing server has changed back and mail cannot be sent.
What is going on?

IMAP is enabled at GoogleMail (Login with WebBrowser) and you have read the installation manual? Normaly it works fine, creating the Google Account with Internet accounts from system preferences.
Like the incoming server, all outgoing server must have different usernames (your email addresses) and passwords. Check the correct assignment for each email account.

Choose Mail > Preferences, then click Accounts.
Select an account.
Click Account Information, then review the server being used for outgoing messages.
If None is selected, click the Outgoing Mail Server pop-up menu, then choose a different server.
Make sure the selected server is one specified by your account provider and that the server name is spelled correctly. Click the Outgoing Mail Server pop-up menu, choose Edit SMTP Server List, then review or enter information as directed by your provider.
If you contact your provider about the server, use the form in this Apple Support article to record Mail settings you might need for configuring the server.

If the server is obsolete, click the Outgoing Mail Server pop-up menu, choose Edit SMTP Server List, select the server, then click Remove . Don’t remove a server that’s in use by an account unless you’re ready to add a different server for the account.

Outlook 2007 - Outgoing mail server from a 3rd party

I tried to set up the outgoing mail server for my Outlook 2007 with a 3rd party mail server. e.g. mail.xxxx.com, and I could not send the e-mail at all. If I set up the outgoing mail server as outgoing.verizon.net, I can send the email to everyone else but not to this 3rd party mail server mail.xxxx.com. I received the undeliverable message from Verizon that the mail was rejected due to not being able to log on to this 3r party mail server. I am working for this company from home and it requires me to set up this for my outgoing mail server. Does anyone know how to fix this, including specifying what needs to be done at the 3rd party mail server to change to accept emails sent from outgoing.verizon.net? Thank you in advance. Andy

Port 25 is the standard for SMTP, although some now use a submission port, 587. I know port 25 off network is blocked for residential users, I don't know if 587 is blocked off network because I have never tried it. I suspect it is. Verizon is by no means the only ISP to do this.
Business accounts do not have blocked ports as far as I know, so if you have a business account, you are free to communicate using port 25 anywhere.
Verizon has recently gone to non-standard port assignments for SMTP and POP servers. see
