When sending email I get this error message: An error occurred sending mail: The mail server sent an incorrect greeting: Cannot establish SSL with SMTP server

This issue has popped up before then went away after I switched to SSL setings as suggested by my website host. Or...was it pure coincidence? Same problem today and I haven't made any changes since the above mentioned and have had many successful emails sent. Can't reply or send emails and the draft gets removed from the draft folder even if I saved it before hitting send. Thank you!

Thank you Matt. I'm sure this will be frustrating ...but the more I think about this problem there more info I have to share. The emails I write that do not get sent do end up in my "sent" folder but never reach the recipient. And, most perplexing, the issue/problem is sporadic. It was coming and going before I switched over to the SSL/TLS option in T-bird. And...since the switch it has reappeared and disappeared. I have made zero changes other than the above mentioned. I did get a security update today for T-bird perhaps this will help?
I read your link, thank you.
I obviously don't understand how these systems work. I'm baffled how an issue like this can come and go...

  • Cannot establish TLS with SMTP...wrong address, connection error 5

    An error occurred sending mail: The mail server sent an incorrect greeting: Cannot establish TLS with SMTP server 65.55.176.126:587, SSL_connect error 5:connection closed.

    Is this for an Outlook/Hotmail type account? What do you have for the server settings under Tools/Account Settings/Outgoing Server (SMTP)? (For outlook/hotmail it should be STARTTLS security on port 587, normal password authentication, email address for the User name.)
    If you have an anti-virus/security program scanning outgoing mail, disable that option and see if it helps.

    Hello,

    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • How do I complete uninstalling itunes? when I try installing i get an error message saying it can't find the path ,itunes64.msi missing.

    How do I complete uninstalling itunes? when I try installing i get an error message saying it can't find the path ,itunes64.msi missing

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component won't install normally.

  • My daughters imessage on her ipod touch has just stopped working - to get it going again I reset it with my email address but this doesn't allow her to send messages to any of her contacts.  When I try and put her email back in it says it can't verify it

    My daughters imessage & face time on her ipod touch has suddenly stopped working.  The only way i could get it going again was to reset it up with my email address.  This will not allow her to send messages to any of her contacts in her addess book.  I have tried to set up her email (which she previously used successfully) but it will not allow this it states 'unable to verify email because it is already in use' - anyone any ideas its is driving me mad !!

    I keep getting this error in Dreamweaver when I am trying to upload my website?  Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?  here is the error message: /html - error occurred - Unable to create remote folder /html.  Access denied.  The file may not exist, or there could be a permission problem.   Make sure you have proper authorization on the server and the server is properly configured.  File activity incomplete. 1 file(s) or folder(s) were not completed.  Files with errors: 1 /html

    Nobody can tell you anything without knowing exact site and server specs, but I would suspect that naming the folder "html" wasn't the brightest of ideas, since that's usually a default (invisible) folder name existing somewhere on the server and the user not having privileges to overwrite it.

    That's what I found about error 1004 in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
    Error 1004 and 1013: These errors may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being redirected or blocked. Follow these steps to resolve these errors:
    Check security software. Ensure that communication to gs.apple.com is allowed. Follow this article for assistance with security software. iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Check the hosts file. The restore will fail if there is an active entry to redirect gs.apple.com. Follow iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting to edit the hosts file or revert to default on Windows. See section "Blocked by configuration: (Mac OS X/Windows) > Rebuild network information".
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

    Hello jodifromahwatukee,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    From what I understand, it sounds like Safari is not loading a single page or multiple webpages correctly and it is trying to reload the content. In this situation, there are a few different steps that I would recommend. 
    First, I would recommend clearing your history and website data as described in the attached article. 
    Safari web settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Nest, after the data has been cleared, I would recommend closing Safari completely as described in the next attached article. 
    Force an app to close in iOS - Apple Support
    After Safari has been closed, reset your iPhone. After the reset, open Safari fresh and use it as you normally would. If the issue continues, please let me know. 
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Have a great day,
    Joe
