Why can't I reply to e-mail

I am having trouble with e-mail. Sometimes I can reply to a sender and sometimes I can't. I also can't always send new e-mails. The send mail button is grayed out. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
John K

    Why can I receive but not send mail?

    With sparse information you give I would venture that you have not set up the correct Outgoing Mail Server settings in Mail>Preferences>Accounts. Contact your ISP for their set up.

    Why can someone use same icloud e-mail address as mine?
    I Have found that the new facebook account has been set up in someone's name using my iclound e-mail.

    Do a backup.
    Try System Preferences/iCloud and sign out. Then sign in with your new Apple ID.

    Why can't I reply to emails on my iPhone 5 - this is a recent problem, I have been able to reply and delete email messages previously.

    A bit more information would be needed to understand what's going on?
    What happens when you try to reply... Do you get an error message, is there no send button, does a symbol appear?

  • After installing Mavericks, why can I no longer delete junk mail on my iMAC Mail program?

    After installing Mavericks, why can I no longer delete junk mail on my iMAC Mail program?   Also, mail is sometimes slow to load in mornings on my iMac after it has appeared on my iPhone.  I temporarily solved that by shutting down and reopening mail two or three times.

    I have the same problem on my iMac.  Most of what it puts in the "junk folder" is junk.  I delete all of the messages in the folder and they're back the next time I check it.  I have messages in that folder that have were received 2 months ago!  I'm thinking of unchecking "junk folder" in preferences.  Very frustrating.

  • Why can't I see the rss mail box in mail? Where is the all folders in the mail?

    Why can't I see the RSS mail box in mail in OS X Mountian Lion? Where is the all folders option in the mail?
    Thanks

    The previous Mail did have:
    MAILBOXES
    ON MY MAC
    The above separated the mailboxes slightly.
    Yes, the On My Mac has been removed and everthing comes under one heading of Mailboxes now.
    All my mailboxes are there that I had before though.

  • TS3276 Why can i suddenly not send out mail using mail through my ntlworld account

    Why can I suddenly not send out mail using Apples Mail. My mail server is Ntlworld. I can send mail by going to Safari and loging into my mail account, but i would prefer to continue using Apples mail and my address book. Does anyone know what my problem could be. I haven't altered any settings.

  • Why can't I use my normal mail account for synching notes

    Hi there,
    I maintain my father's iDevices/computers as he has Parkinsons and does not understand the technology behind how these services work. I need to maintain as simple a configuration as possible. As an example calendaring is difficult as new entries are not necessarily put in the calendar he uses and I have to talk him through how to show all calendars on a regular basis. I can't have his mail on IMAP as he cannot manage his mail and his mailbox fills up. I can't simply pay for storage ad infinitum - my local copy of his mail is about 6 GB and growing.
    I have seen several discussions where it is clear that we *must* use an icloud.com e-mail account for synching notes via IMAP, but none of them have explained WHY I MUST USE @icloud.com e-mail. If this is an IMAP based service why can't I use any other IMAP server
    I see that it is referred to as an "icloud account" but if I have to enable mail, it becomes an e-mail account, which I do not want as it will be confusing if there is an issue with the main mail server (which I maintain) it will present an option to use the icloud.com e-mail as a valid option to send the mail.
    I do not turn on the mail option in icloud.. (only calendar, contacts, reminders and find my iphone). I find it dissapointing that this is now what seems to be a "requirement".

    That is absolutely unnecessary, but more convenient to have icloud to sync your notes. I use other IMAPs as well and can sync my notes with google and yahoo and icloud(corresponding email is required in all cases). It is your choice and you can pick your poison, but you will find out that icloud is more convenient after you or him will lose his info few times. There is no requirement, you can even use the group that will not sync with anything "on my device" if you disable all of IMAPS. Icloud is just the one that you can call Apple and normally people prefer to work with Apple support way more then with google's or yahoo's, but that is again up to your preference.

  • Can't open reply window on Mail 2.1.3

    I can't get the reply window to open. And I can't get the spell check to work either. I have not used Mail for a very long time - I had been using Entourage. I recently decide to move to Mail and I imported from Entourage OK, but it's very flaky and I can't even write a new mail - I can bang on the keys until I'm blue in the face and nothing shows up in the body of the email. I've tried removing Mail from the "cache" and Envelope from "Mail" and rebooting without success. I have another ibook and everything works on it OK. Should I move any files from that computer to this one? Or ???

    Thanks Mulder for your response. I have been very busy and am just getting back to this problem. (I updated my profile to reflect my true OS as 10.4.11).
    I did as you suggested and ran repair permissions, however that did not solve the problem. I did notice that one of my partitions gave an error message that it could not unmount it. This partition has system 9 stuff in it, however I have not used anything in that partition for a long time. I use it mostly for storage now and as for as I know there is nothing running in there that would stop it from unmounting, unless it's some Classic functions that come on at startup.
    Anyway, I have a second identical machine and system and Mail works fine there, so I replaced my Mail application with the one from the working machine, but that didn't solve anything either. I think that tells me that there are other files I need to also replace with working ones but I don't know which ones they might be.
    One of the interesting things is that I can't compose or reply to an email but it will let me forward. strange.
    If you have anymore thoughts I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks again.

  • Why can't i send & receive e-mails

    Why can't I send and receive e-mails since synching my ipohne4 with I tunes at the weekend. It was working fine up until then

    Are you getting any errors? I'm wondering if it "restored" an old password or something from your computer?

    Why can't I receive junk mail on my iPad that I receive in my computer. Some junk mail is important.

    If you're talking about not being able to see your spam folder, you can. In your mail app you see each account listed twice. When you explore the bottom list you can access your folders in your mail accounts and should be able to see the spam folders.
