What is my outgoing mail server for setting up a new account in Mail?

Hi, I'm trying to set up a new account in Mail so that I check my school e-mail from that application and I've figured out what my incoming mail server is, but what where would I find the outgoing mail server if I want to send through Mail?
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Ask the company providing you internet juice to get online. If it is Comcast, it typically is smtp.comcast.net or mail.comcast.net. If it is Verizon, it is outgoing.verizon.net. If it is someone else it is some SMTP server that is assigned by the company that you pay your bills to get online with.

  • 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?

  • What should i input in server for setting mail for ipad 2 just for wifi no 3G

    what should i put in server for create mail when i just use as wifi,,no 3G in ipad 2...

    You need to contact your ISP for the correct settings.
    For incoming mail, the server is usually something like pop3.ISPname.com
    For outgoing it is something like smtp.ISPname.com

  • Pre won't let me put in an ip address for a mail server name when adding a new account.

    I can type it in, but it won't let me that add the accunt (sign in button doesn't work).  If i put a name in there, it lets me click "sign in".
    is this a known issue?  any workaround for this?  we don't have a qualifed name so i need to use the ip address of our mail server.

    It was a known issue at the time of launch. There was a recent over-the-air update that addressed at least one Exchange sync issue (now allows http:// in addition to https:// access), but I have not read about whether it resolves the IP Address issue.

  • I Need Help For Setting Up A New Account

    So, obviously in Mail, I have my .Mac Account. I would also like to add my MSN hotmail account. There are only a couple of issues. I can't figure out if the hotmail account is POP, IMAP, or Exchange. And on top of that, I don't know what to put after I've chosen one. There is a space where I'm supposed to put the "Incoming mail sever", except, I have no idea what that is. If it is relevant, my hotmail email is: [email protected]
    Thank You

    was the solution I used to use, back when I thought it was still a good idea to use msn/hotmail

  • Mail app not seeing outgoing mail server : it's there in the account info!?

    I just set up 2 new accounts in mail all setting are ok and email is being received OK by both accounts.
    Accounts are named John@blah and enquiries@same blah
    But one of them (john) is not sending and I'm getting this:
    [IMG]http://i13.tinypic.com/2z6fmvm.png[/IMG]
    Where I'm told to choose a different outgoignmail server. Problem is that in accounts setting the server is named correctly but this drop doen panel doesn't give me the option to use it.
    I need some help please

    I know that's what you'd think but it is not the case as it's already there, look:
    [img]http://xs414.xs.to/xs414/07165/Picture.png.xs.jpg[/img]
    Could it be the server port. the 2 accounts that send ok use 25 and the one that isn't working, ie the one where I am unable to select the correctct outgoing server uses port 587.
    I have no idea if this would effect mailapps ability to read what is in mail>preference>accounts I can't see how that would be a problem

  • How do I set up an IMAP account in mail

    I've tried several times to set up a new account in Mail in Mavericks but it always defaults to a POP account. I can't see any way of setting up an IMAP account. Please help.

    Thanks Barney-15E:  I've tried holding down the Option key at every option to Continue and I never get the option to configure the account manually, it just always sets up a POP account.
    Thanks Donald Morgan: that support article does not help. it has step 4 "Deselect "Automatically set up account" if it is enabled. Click Continue to proceed." but I cannot find any checkbox or other way to deselect Automatically set up account.
    I've set this account up as IMAP in every system since OSX came out and I've never had this problem.
    Does anybody know how to set up an IMAP account in Mail in Mavericks !?!

    If so, this is not needed. Use the MobileMe account preset and the incoming and outgoing mail servers will be set up automatically.

    dominic23:
    That's just the name/description you can give the server that appears in Mail's preferences for that account.
    After selecting Edit you can put in whatever you want in the description. 
    advisor81:
    Why do you need to know the name?  If you add an iCloud account in Mail all you really need is your Apple ID and password.  The servers are automatically assigned.

    There is no such thing as an "SMTP incoming mail server." You set up iCloud mail by checking the box marked Mail in the iCloud preference pane. You don't need to know the addresses of the servers.
