Unable to send Yahoo! mail through Mail

Hello, I'm runnning Mail version 6.6 on my MacBook with Mountain Lion.
My outgoing smtp settings for Yahoo! Mail stopped working a year or more ago. This only affects my MacBook Mail - not my iPhone, iPad or Yahoo! webmail. Other email accounts including gmail and microsoft exchange run fine through the same Mail app.
To try and fix this I have done many things including:
- rebuilding my computer from scratch with a new disc drive
- deleting and re-installing my yahoo account on mac mail (many times...)
- trying a host of different smtp settings. I have tried smtp.mail.yahoo.com, plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com and apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com as the server, and have tried with and without my password, and have tried with and without SSL. I've also tried all the ports.
For a while I had been able to trick the mail client and send yahoo mails through the server for my work email, but this has now stopped.
I would really appreciate some help, as I've contacted Yahoo! and they say that the problem would appear to be with Apple as my settings and account are fine.
Thanks,
Chris

My SMTP's Yahoo account is set as
smtp.mail.yahoo.com
use default port (25, 465, 587)
Use SSL
Authentication: Password
Username: [email protected]
Password: your account password

Unable to send Yahoo mail via Apple Mail

Hi all,
I am unable to send mail via a yahoo plus account. My out going server is smtp.mail.yaho.com. SSL is selected. Server port is 25. I have tried to change authentication to "password", but it stays as none.
POP functionality works fine.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Hello Foster.
Where did you get the Yahoo Mail Plus account setup information?
I didn't see any reference on Yahoo's website to use SSL for the SMTP server.
I copied the following account settings from Yahoo's website:
Here are the basic server settings for Yahoo! Mail:
Incoming Mail (POP3) Server: pop.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com (use authentication, optionally use port 587)
Account Name/Login Name: your Yahoo! Mail ID (your email address without the "@yahoo.com")
Email Address: your Yahoo! Mail address (e.g., [email protected])
Password: your Yahoo! Mail password
I have tried to change authentication to "password",
but it stays as none.
After selecting Password for the SMTP server authentication and entering your Account or User Name and the account's password, are you selecting OK afterwards to save the changed settings?

E72- Unable to send e-mail from work mailbox

I am unable to send e-mails from my work e-mail through my E72 although it receives perfectly. I have been in contact with Nokia via e-mail for the last 2 weeks and they have sent several suggestions to solve the issue but nothing is working. I have set-up my work e-mail on my husbands Blackberry with the same settings and can receive and send perfectly. From that I conclude there is no issue with the settings I have or my work e-mail but with
Nokia!! The latest 'help' I have received was to download a patch but I have no idea how to do this and get it onto my phone. So far Nokia have not replied to me.
Any suggestions how to get this to work would be greatly appreciated

If you're using a much older firmware, updating the phone would be a good idea. Find the Software Updates section of nokia.com and type your phone model. If you can't do an over-the-air update, download and install either the OVI Suite or the standalone Software Updater. This may hard reset the phone, so back up anything important with OVI Suite first.
Ignoring firmware for now, IMAP and URL's are like apples and oranges. If you work for a small company, the server may always be called " mail.mycompany.com", but IMAP will never use an HTTP or HTTPS prefix. URL's are typically associated with Microsoft Exchange servers. Within the email program, check Options -> Settings -> Mailbox settings -> Mailbox settings -> Advanced mailbox settings. Are "Outgoing email settings" set to something like
User authentication: Same as for incoming
Outgoing mail server: <compare to the setting for the Incoming server name; in a small company this will likely be the same>
Since you're getting far enough for the mail sever to reject your connection, the other settings should be fine as-is.
It does look like an authentication issue, so I'd say you're either hitting the wrong server or there's a bad username or password in there somewhere. If the Blackberry works with an IMAP connection, then you should be using the same server name(s), and user/password.
If all else fails, you can always try removing and readding the mailbox completely. Choose Menu -> Applications -> Email -> Settings -> <highlight your work account> -> Options -> Remove mailbox. And then set it up from scratch. I hope that helps a little!

Why am I unable to send e mails from my IPhone or IPad and get message rejected from outgoing server, message placed in outbox

Why am I unable to send e mails from my iPhone, and get message rejected by server and message put in outbox. I have tried changing server ports but to no avail. I am not very technically minded so any suggestions in laymans terms please. This is a big problem as I work away frequently and need to answer e mails. This also happens when at home and on my own wifi.

I am unable to Send E-mail via Default mail app in my iphone. IOS7, i have account of icloud, Gmail, Microsoft all the account are well added, i can recieve e-mails but the massage i send is never sent

I am unable to Send E-mail via Default mail app in my iphone. IOS7, i have account of icloud, Gmail, Microsoft all the account are well added, i can recieve e-mails but the massage i send is never sent

Turns out this was a simple set up error for me, although i'd set up mobile me to sync my e mails I had never set up my outgoing message server. Therefore, if I received a message from me.com I could reply no problem, however if the message came from aol.com I couldn't reply.

False repeating message "unable to send e-mail"

After I attempted to send a e-mail to an address with a bad extension, I logically got the message "unable to send e-mail. However the message will not go away. I can send e-mail, no problem. I have rebooted, Put in my mail settings over again, but to no avail. Even though my e-mail is working fine ...the message "unable to send e-mail" keeps popping up. Anyone know a solution?

I found the answer.
email is still in the outbox of the email app. Deleted it.

I am unable to send e-mails from my Outlook

Everything was working ok, for ages. Suddenly I am unable o send e-mails from my Outlook.
"The message I get is: 'Unable to send the message. Please verify the e-mail Address in your account properties'.
When I 'Send a Test Message' from Outlook, Tools, Accounts. All actions are completed besides sending a test message when I also get the instruction.

Hi
If it happened suddenly so possibly it was a virus?
I dont know why you are not able to send the e-mails.
I think you should check the email account properties. Check the data of you POP3 and SMTP server.
Im not a outlook expert but this options should be found somewhere in the email account properties.
The last possibility would be deleting of the email account under outlook and then a new creation of the new account.

After installing the notified update I am unable to send e-mails (using O/E on XP) as my system is supposedly unsecure. (I receive a message saying "... Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F".) Everything was working fine immediately before I updated.

After installing the notified update I am unable to send e-mails (using Outlook Express on Windows XP) as my system is now thought to be Unsecure. (I receive a message saying "... Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F") Everything was working fine immediately before I installed the update. Can anyone (pleeeease) tell me where Flash has changed my security settings as I have looked at the setup, but everything looks okay. Thankyou!

Branching this to a new discussion as it appear you are facing difficulties with the installation or running the programs you have been downloading and installing.

Unable to send E-mail notification. [10054]

Opening a report in the Backup History and scrolling to the bottom, has anyone ever seen this message: - Test - Unable to send E-mail notification. [10054]? I am wondering what caused this problem as other backup sets on the same Source PC had completed and sent the email with the comment "E-mail notification sent."

I just had this happen again. I tried the following: Hold CTRL + Shift and click Preferences (to the left, under Settings)Click the button "Stop all LMIB processes"Wait. Then open console and try the backup set again.Now it is sending the emails.

See OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages for details. on troubleshooting mail.
Your SMTP server settings are incorrect. Mail has two connections, a receive path from your mail server to your mail client, and a send path from your mail client to the mail server. The send path uses SMTP to communicate with the server.
Apple Mail.app has separate settings for the receive and send paths; each has its own server, username, password, port and SSL settings. Your send path settings are likely incorrect.
To determine the proper settings, check with Yahoo for the SMTP server settings for your account (usually a web search, but I don't know the details of how Yahoo sets up their accounts by default nor whether that varies by account), and verify that your settings match — the send-path settings are available via the accounts settings; Mail > Preferences > Accounts > select the account > Account Information > and switch the Select SMTP Server setting to Edit SMTP Server List... > select your Yahoo SMTP server, and set the account details per Yahoo requirements.

Smtp "offline" message, unable to send e-mails

I am unable to send e-mails from my Mac Mail. Receiving is no problem. I was just online with my internet/email server, did everything they told me to, which didn't solve the problem; they told me to contact Mac.
I did all the usual things, as recommended on the Mac website under "can't send e-mails". I was told by the Telus agent to select port #25 to be the custom port, which I did. I keep getting the SMTP offline notice in the "cannot send message" box. the "Doctor" tells me that trying to log-in to this account failed, verify username and password (which I did).
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

Hi
I've had a mac for years (10.5.8) and Telus for one year and this just happened two days ago to me too.
Would you believe all I had to do was remove the server settings and then re-enter them! Check the Telus website for the instructions. Mail sends no problem now!
Here's how I figured it out: .
I used the report within the mac server settings once the error occured and copied the text in order to review. I found this strange caption:
READ Jun 23 20:51:51.885 [kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelNone] -- host:smtp.telus.net -- port:25 -- socket:0x145cf7f0 -- thread:0x145ce2f0
554 edmwcm02 bizsmtp ESMTP server not available, your ip is balcklisted by spamhaus. Go to http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=70.69.240.140
SO I went to their website and it suggested to check to box for stmp authentication for a quick fix. So I checked with the Telus instructions on their site and it said NOT TOO - so don't. Its sounds like spam glue!
Long story, Macs rock, everything you need is there, just think and you can use it allot easier and more to suceed than windows.
