TS4002 How do you re-establish the outgoing mail server (SMTP)?

I am trying to re-establish my outgoing mail server (smtp). I can receive mail, but can't send any out. I have tried all the listed options in the pull-down, but just can't make any of it work.

If you are setting this up on your Mac using Snow Leopard, see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5330. The outgoing mail server is smtp.me.com.

Problems sending mail: some problem with the outgoing mail server SMTP?

I can't send e mails: some problem with the outgoing mail server SMTP?

I had this same problem with both my imac and mac book pro using hotmail via mac mail with bt as my internet provider. Suddenly 4 months ago out of nowhere i could receive emails but could not send them. I scoured all the threads followed all the fixes none of them worked. However I just phoned apple support and fixed it in a matter of minutes. I am SO happy. This is what the technician advised me:
Go to your apple icon and scroll down to system preferences. Then dependant on what machine you have it is different for my imac and mac book pro click on either air port/wifi then the advanced tab in the bottom right hand corner. Then click on the DNS tab. Hit the + sign on the left hand side and type in 8.8.8.8 then hit the + sign again on the left hand side it will create a new line underneathe and type 8.8.4.4 then hit okay on the bottom right and then hit apply, again on the bottom right. Then send a test email to check but it should be fixed.
Had to share this. Its been driving me mad for months.

How can the incoming mail section on an iphone5 disappear? I can send messages but cannot receive them. Shouldn't there be an incoming section like the outgoing mail server section?

I Haven't received incoming email for nearly a week now. I have checked the settings and the only thing that isn't there is the INCOMING MAIL SERVER section. The outgoing mail server is there and is correct. How can I get it back so that I can enter the mail server?

Hi Olivier,
Thanks very much for that. it worked on my powerbook(running Tiger). I went to the link and followed the instructions and it worked. Did i mention that my dad who has a iMac running Leopard now has the same problem. I thought i would just do the same but the Preference in Mail for Leopard is of course different. There is no icon called "Server Settings" under Accounts section like there is on mine. Do you have a link for the same kind of instructions for Leopard?
Thanks again,
Bryce

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.

it should works, if you use the following parameters:

I'll bet you it will NOT work & even give you 10 to 1 odds that it will fail.

How do i find out my outgoing mail server

Hi ..

Can I set my iCloud email as the outgoing mail server for my google apps email account in Mac Mail?

I have a google apps email account from an old client, all my work emails have been going to it for years. As I'm no longer affiliated with this client I'd like to make a transition to using my iCloud account for work. I asked people to use my iCloud address but as they've been using my google apps address for years it's what automatically comes up when they type my name.
I figure the easiest way to make a transition is if I reply to all the emails that arrive at my old address from my iCloud address and gradually they will start using my new address without realising it. But I can't find a simple way to do this.
In Mac Mail preferences > accounts > Google IMAP (my old account name) > Account information > Outgoing Mail server (SMTP) I'd like to set my iCloud SMTP server. But although my iCloud account uses its own outgoing mail server for its own account , it is not in the server list when I select my google account. I've tried to add it to the server list as smtp.mail.me.com but it caused my whole iCloud account to give me error messages until I force quit Mail...
Any ideas?

In iCloud/Mail, have you tried going to Preferences (select with gear at lower left)/Composing and setting a Send from address there?

HT4864 How do I directly change the incoming mail server for icloud in Mail? It's grayed out.

How do I directly change the incoming mail server for icloud in Mail? It's grayed out.
I ask this because I have suddenly stopped receiving most e-mails in Mail. I've found that my incoming mail server (p01-imap.mail.me.com) is different from what the Apple mail setup assistant recommends (mail.me.com), but I cannot change it because it is grayed out. Any ideas?

I'm afraid that AFAIK you've gone through the card. You could try Support, though I don't know how helpful they are likely to be.
To contact iCloud Support: if you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee.

HT4864 The Outgoing Mail Server drop down box in mail setup keeps reverting back to 'None' - anyone have any ideas why?

Hi
I've been having difficulties with mail on my Mac and have checked all the settings. I have three mail accounts, 2 iClouds (different acct names) and 1 bigpond account.
Whenever I change the outgoing mail server drop down boxes for the iCloud accts and save my changes, I go out of it then when I go back to the iCloud accts the drop down boxes for both iCloud accounts have reverted back to 'None'.
Is this of any relevance? Is it 'normal'?
I've tried deleting all mail accounts and adding them all again but the same thing still happens.
I have been on Apple Support and followed the Mail Acct setup tutorial.
I'd appreciate any help on this matter thanks.

Thanks for your reply Winston Churchill.
Because I'd been having problems which had recently been resolved by AppleCare Support I decided to go through all my accounts and check their individual settings. I found a Tutorial on Apple support for setting up or verifying email account settings and found mine were different so I changed it.
In any event I took your advice and just went with the option of automatically setting the iCloud accounts up and I haven't had anymore problems thus far - fingers crossed.
I do however note that my drop down box in account settings still says 'none' for the outgoing mail server and the 'use this server only' check box isn't ticked despite being ticked in the 'verify account' info on the tutorial, so hence my question to the community - did this matter and what was the difference?
I will let sleeping dogs lie I think and will see how I go.
Many thanks for your help.

Mail: "outgoing mail server (smtp)" not being saved

In Mail settings I have a default "outgoing mail server (smtp)" selected, but when I go to send mail, it changes to 'gmail'
How can I get it to work the way it's supposed to.
It's worked correctly for ever, but exhibited this new behavior recently.

I think I have the same problem without Exchange involved. I have seven different email accounts and two of them are acting like you describe: changes like deleting doesn't reflect on other clients (like mobile phone email client and webmail).
This also happens with read emails showing up unread so that if the email is been read and deleted same message can appear as new and when that message is deleted I can see two separate items of that same email message.
Also all marks of reply, forward or flagged are gone when the email show up as new again.
My service provider said that updates to Mail.app have previously made some big changes to way how it acts with email servers and thought that Mail is misbehaving with my two email systems.
I am using IMAP protocol with all accounts.
Thanks for any info and help!
