Why are sent emails from mac mail going to out box and message saying cannot connect to ATT server?

I receive emails via ATT to my mac mailbox. But when I send an email it goes to the out box and I get a message that it cannot connect to the server?
The genius bar said that APPLE and ATT were working on this, but very frustrating. Any suggestions?

Same is happening with me.  Was having intermittent DSL service - called AT&T to rectify.
After the internet was back up and running, I could no longer send outgoing mail from my Mac Mail 5.3 application.  I didn't change any settings or update any software, yet the IT person i was talking to (the same who corrected my internet issue) was saying it was a Mail problem.
I disagree considering it was working 1/2 hour before we started our conversation!
Any insight would be helpful.
Definitely set up the way AT&T suggested!

    This issue is cropping up everywhere on the iPad site, leading me to believe that it is an iTunes server glitch. I am able to connect without issue in the northeast U.S.
    You can try this ....
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Sign in and try again.

  • Sent emails in Mac Mail going straight into Outbox - how can I fix this?

    For several days now my emails sent from Apple Mail, which is certainly ( when working ) the best email service I've used, has failed to send emails and instead lodges them in my Outbox, where they remain, and the Mail Activity slot at the bottom datailing the progress of outgoing messages
    tends to come to a halt halfway along the progress bar.
    Very frustrating.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks / Jim Raff

    Launch the Connection Doctor (Mail.app Window > Connection Doctor) and (if you see any red-dot warnings from the first pass of the tool, and you probably will) open the details drawer and re-run the connection tests.  If you can't figure out the error from what details are generated by the tool, post the expurgated data — edit out any sensitive data — and post it here.
    Also (though this probably won't help) repair your mailbox.  Mail.app Mailbox > Repair.
    See if you can access the target mail via the web app, and see if there are any issues with that server; if things are working "normally" via the web interface.  (Details of the web interface vary.)
    Also confirm the outbound mail message doesn't exceed some limit on the mail server, such as the total storage quota for the target mail server, or the size of the message being sent; something that might cause the message to be rejected by the mail server.
    In the above, I'm going to assume you are not running OS X Server here, and are just running 10.6 client.  If you are running OS X Server 10.6, then you'll want to have a look at the mail server log files at a start.  OS X Server has its own mail server, and debugging that is somewhat more complex than debugging the Mail.app mail client in OS X software, and some other mail server.

  • How can I import 1000s of Emails from Mac Mail (Exchange Account) into Gmail and Retain Labels?

    I have an old exchange account in Mac Mail, disconnected, but still with 1000s of emails in a folder structre. I'd like to import all of those into my Gmail account, and retain the folder structre as Gmail labels). What's th easiest way to do this?

    That is a question for Google, as far as I know Exchange does not use labels, the folders are (unlike Gmail) real.
    But Google support may know a way.

    Did you check your user name and password in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your email account, tap SMTP, then tap the primary server name.  Make sure the settings there are correct.

  • TS3276 sending emails from mac mail?

    not possible to send email from mac mail since hotmail changed to outlook?

    The logo is an attachment. Anything in an email message that is not text must be sent as an attachment in order to be compliant with email protocols. But many modern email programs will automatically display the contents of some attachments. Apple Mail will display JPEGs and single-page PDFs. Presumably your correspondents are using an application that displays JPEGs but not PDFs.
    Some email programs expect attachments to come at the end of the message, not intermixed with the other contents of the message. Such an app may treat everything after the first attachment as attachments. That might cause the different behavior when additional attachments are included before the attachment in your signature.

  • Why are sent emails not stored in the Sent Items folder in iOS7

    Why are sent emails not stored in the Sent Items folder?

    Thanks, Matt.
    I'm now starting to notice the emails that don't come in order are all posted from sites that use multiple platforms to send the same message; email, Facebook, Twitter, etc. so maybe that has something to do with it. I'm thinking the hold up is possibly at their end.

  • Hi, tried to download Amazon, asked to update my security, push continue..screen goes white then error message saying' cannot connect to app store' but I'm already on it!

    hi, I'm a novice..be gentle! Tried to download Amazon Free... Asked to update my security I pushed OK...screen went white, then an error message saying ' Cannot connect to App Store', however I am already on it! Pls help!!

    Are you trying to download the amazon store app? Does this happen with all apps or just amazon?
    Try this
    Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
    (How to update your iOS device
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623)
    Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings  (or for network connection issues 'reset network settings').
    (no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).

    After upgrading to OS 10.8, my Mac App Store is not working. It says: Cannot Connect To The App Store. Kindly Help

    Also having that problem - I checked and I am connected to internet (can access other websites or other pages in Apple's website), can login from Snow Leopard (10.6.8) with Mac App Store there, but if I use the (external) drive with ML to start up, no go.
    I can get to the "Featured"/initial MAS page, and tried going to the login from there, but same problem as Mitoshacer.
    In my case, MacBook Pro (2.66GHz, 8GB RAM, 500GB external with ML - vs. 320GB internal drive with 10.6.8), March/April 2009 model. Have done searches for the problem online, but nothing shows up (except some for older OS X versions).

  • Exporting emails from Mac Mail to Entourage

    Is there a way to take ALL of the emails etc from Mac Mail & transfer them to Entourage is one easy step? - I have looked at importing them from Mac Mail with Entourage's 'import assistant'..but it doesn't give Mac Mail as an option to import from...any help gratefully received - thanks

    Alex,
    This thread is getting unbelievably messy for what originally was such a simple question. Nowhere did I say that the procedure I suggested was meant for a particular type of account or mailbox. It allows any messages to be exported in standard mbox format. It’s Stanley who mentioned IMAP as an alternative procedure to transfer mail between mail clients, and what I said in the post you’re replying to is precisely that IMAP has nothing to do with what I was talking about...
    What does “suitable for archiving” mean? If you have any questions that have nothing to do with the problem of transferring mail from Mail to Entourage, which is what we’re supposed to be talking about here, please either find a thread that discusses the same questions or start a new topic to properly discuss them in their own thread instead of hijacking someone else’s thread. Here is a recent example of such a thread:

  • Importing Windows Outlook 2007 email to Mac Mail using Thunderbird Workaround Looses Some Messages

    After being away from using a Mac for 5 years I'm back with an iMac.
    I found this workaround to import Outook 2007 emails to Mac Mail using Thunderbird on the PC http://www.trickyways.com/2010/08/how-to-transfer-emails-from-outlook-to-apple-m ail/
    On the PC Thunderbird imports all my Outlook messages correctly and all are there.
    Then when I import the resulting Thunderbird mailboxes to Mac Mail some messages are being lost. The directory structure for my mail folders imports correctly, just that some messages are missing.
    There are earlier posts here saying Eudora Mailbox Cleaner worked for people but this wont run on Mountain Lion.
    So has anybody got any ideas on how the get  all my Outlook e-mails to the Mac without losing anything?
    What about software like Outlook2Mac, does it work fully or will I still have the same issue of some lost mail?
    Can't believe I am having this problem migrating Window to Mac, you'd think it would work perfectly and not put people off from switching.
    Cheers.

    Okay I slept on it and had a brain wave.
    I set up iCloud Mail on Outlook 2007. Then copy messages from my Outlook Inbox to iCloud Inbox.
    On the Mac copy the messages from iCloud Inbox to a folder On My Mac so they never get lost if I delete the iCloud account.
    Playing about with it and it seems to work fine. Any reason why it could cause issues?
    I love it when a workaround comes together!
