Using OS Mavericks can't send mail on hotmail?

I can't send mail on hotmail using os x mavericks, why?

I also was having the SMTP (offline) issue for Gmail and Comcast after upgrading to Maverick but not immediately.   I read through all the posts.  I was not seeing a common thread for a solution so I decided to bite the bullet and call Apple(if it costs, it costs).  I set up a call back.  They called me in 15 minutes, set up a view of my screen and proceeded to troubleshoot.  He started by going to "Window" "connection doctor".  Observed the red dots and descriptions as being a username/password issue.  Then went to "mail","Preference", account icon and entered the gmail 2-step verification password generated by Gmail and before clicking done (on the Gmail website),clicked on the "SMTP Mail server" box and chose "edit SMTP server list". In the window that appeared also entered the same Gmail generated password there as well.  We then tested by going to the "Connection Doctor" getting green dots for both incoming and outgoing Gmail entries.  Next test was sending email to myself.  It worked.  We did the corresponding procedure for the Comcast account.  It took 25 minutes and cost nothing.  I was surprised at the price since my iMac is 4 years old.  I hope this lasts and I don't get really good at this procedure.

  • After update os mavericks can't send mail

    I thought I had successfully installed Mavericks on my MacBook Pro but now I can only receive mail not send it. And this is not a gmail account. I appreciate any help on this one!!

    Mail stopped working after a restart with Ethernet disconnected. No changes to the previously-working multiple account setups. I even added a new account and the new one didn't work either. I booted into a second admin account and entered known-working info. The (bogus) error was that the required ports were not open. I even tried changing the ports to generic ones. Nothing worked.
    Repairing permissions and resetting the PRAM also did nothing.
    I finally cleared the problem by booting into SAFE mode (cold start with SHIFT held down). After a normal re-boot Mail again worked as it should.

  • I can't send mail via hotmail. I can read new mail, but can not reply or send new messages.

    I am using a mac powerbook, 2004 running MAc os x. Yes, I know it is old. But I only use if for e-mail. this week, I can't send or reply to messages via firefox or any other browser. I can't succesfully download updates. Can you advise?
    thanks

    Go to Mail Preferences- Accounts and confirm you are providing Gmail what they require to send and receive mail. And DON'T specify Secure Socket Layer. Some mail accts don't like SSL
    Good Luck to you.

  • Since the end of November, I can't send mail via Hotmail from Mail.

    I have had my Hotmail account set up in Mail for a number of years and it has been working fine. Suddenly, since the end of November, I can only receive emails but not send. If I try to send it says 'connections to the "smtp.live.com" server timed out'.
    I have tried specifying different ports, erasing and re-setting up the account - nothing has worked. Please can someone help?

    Hi there tamarafromdarien,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps for iCloud Mail in the article below helpful.
    iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Mail
    If you can't send mail in OS X Mail
    If you receive this alert or a similar alert when sending a message from your iCloud email address in OS X Mail:
    “This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered. The reason for the failure is: An error occurred while delivering this message via the smtp server: server name.”
    In OS X Mail, choose Preferences from the Mail menu.
    Click Accounts in the Preferences window.
    Select your iCloud account from the list of accounts.
    Click the Account Information tab.
    Choose your iCloud account from the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) pop-up menu. Example: “Derrick Parker (iCloud)”.
    Note: The Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) menu also includes an Edit SMTP Server List command. If you choose this command, be aware that the iCloud SMTP server won't be among the servers that can be edited. This is normal.
    If you're attaching a large file
    Message attachments can't exceed the maximum size allowed by your email service provider or the recipient's email service provider. The maximum size varies by service provider. Try compressing the filebefore sending it, or send your message without the attachment to verify that there are no issues with sending.

  • Can't send mail when using mobile broadband

    Hi
    I am getting quite frustrated as I can't send mail when using my mobile broadband modem! I can receive mail, and surf the internet etc, but mail just wont send!(i get the usual cannot send try later/resend options). I thought this might be an issue with my mobile broadband but have recently reinstalled it. When at home on a wireless network I have no such issues.
    Any help appreciated

    I am not using a SMTP it is a Pop3 domain name account from freeparking and uses mail.'NAME'.com for incoming and outgoing mail!
    Even though your e-mail service uses the same URL for POP3 and SMTP servers, in the software sense you actually do have separate POP3 and SMTP servers, although they may be hosted on the same machine, or the requests are routed via some "smoke and mirrors" to the right host.
    It is not related to my ISP at home, which is Virgin media. My mobile broadband provider is 3. I was thinking it might be that I need to change the port settings in mail when using my mobile modem, but don't know what to change them too(or how to do it!) or configure the modem differently but again not sure what to do there!
    Check with the freeparking online help to see if it supports port 587 or some such.
    Also try Mail's "Connection Doctor" (under the Window menu) when you're away from home to see if that shows anything useful.
    Since you can send e-mail from that SMTP server when you're at home but not when you're using your mobile broadband, I think one of two possibilities is likely: (a) Your mobile broadband provider is blocking your attempts to access the freeparking SMTP server and/or port. (b) The freeparking SMPT server for some reason doesn't like being communicated with via your mobile broadband provider. I'd check with each of them to explore these options.
    Does your mobile broadband provider have an SMTP server that you can use instead of the freeparking one?
    My modem(Huawei E220) is not particularly Mac friendly as it is, and I believe Mail can be quite sensitive when servers don't respond immediately?
    Yes. Mail seems to have a fixed time-out value for server responses.

  • Can't send mail... after 4 months of using it

    I'm stumped... help me out please.
    When i send a mail out, this message pops up, "Error : This Message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered. Sending the message content to the server failed."
    So it's still in my mailbox. But then, it shows up in my gmail account and on my blackberry as a sent mail, but the receiver never gets it. Also, i can still send mail from both my blackberry and gmail.com... just not from Apple Mail.
    What's going on?

    Sometimes an ISP provider blocks one of your incoming
    Mail ports and "won't notify you". ( Why? probably it's their protection software )
    In my case Comcast blocked my Port 25 and my Outgoing kept bouncing.
    Incoming was fine.
    Make sure when you change your Port to 587,
    You also check "ON" the Secure Sockets Layer box right underneath,
    Then change Authentication: to Password
    Then enter your name and password
    and click OK.
    The reps at most of the providers
    are useless and won't tell you
    the second part of the solution.
    It took me 2 days and 4 reps
    at Comcast to find this out
    and 10 hours of trying to
    clean my Mac...
    which they will always
    blame.
    Best of Luck, Tom

  • Can't send mail since 10.4.6 update

    Since updating my OS to 10.4.6 I can't send mail. I can receive mail and I can browse online. But mail will not go out. I've verified all the Outgoing Mail Server info SEVERAL times and have had no luck. I've enabled Entourage to handle mail instead of MacMail and it won't work either. Totally stumped.
    Same thing has happened on my iBook G4 laptop by the way. I'm convinced that the update has something to do with this.

    INTERNET CONNECTION LOST
    so... since the 10.4.6 update once my computers fall asleep the connection to my wireless router is lost. (mail seems to be working ok, when i have an internet connection...)
    I have tried multiple things to fix this. Thus far the only solution seems to be resetting the router to use connect back to the internet. Once this is done the internet connection works fine, until lost or the computers go to sleep. When i wake the computer i have to do it all over again... and on top of it the post link is missing on all the pages!!! so i am replying here.
    So this time I have rebooted to my external drive with the previous version (10.4.5) to see if indeed it is the 10.4.6 update that seems to have hosed this connection somehow.
    HELP please, this is terrible annoying. Is anyone else experiencing this?
    thank you.
