Why can't I send mail or reply in Mail 4.5?, Why can't I send mail or reply in Mail 4.5?

Using Mac 10.6.7 and Mail 4.5, why isn't there an icon with a little paper airplane to SEND mail? There is no visible icon to SEnd mail.
Also, when I try to reply to a message, there is no visible way to send. It keeps asking me "do you want to save as a draft?"

The following previous discussion may have something that will help: i can receive email but cannot send any on my new iphone5.  have followed suggestions. any ideas?
Also, if you are using Gmail's 2-step verification, be sure you are using an application specific password: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1173270?hl=en

    Thanks gor replying,,,this is my first time on this site.
    Any idea why the "other" continues to increase. I have just got got my mac so no new apps installed yet only been using it for mail and web browsing. I tried the iphoto mail last night and noticed the the "other" section had increased by 1GB which I thought was rather larger. Do you know what this setion actually does ?
    Also do you know if it is possible to delete the iphoto emails.
    All of your 'stuff' that is not Music Movies Apps Backups or Photos is in Other, that means all your emails, all your files etc, why don't you just leave well enough alone, this is not windows and doesn't need tinkering with,

  • Thunderbird can reply but not send new mail!!!

    I'm experienced thunderbird and computer user, baffled by this.
    I created a new account at my website host for email.
    It receives fine, it REPLIES fine, it hangs on send.
    100% repeatable.
    On send, it appears to send then hang on copy to sent folder step.
    My sent folder is a nested folder Inbox/sent, because my website hosts just thinks thats the way it should be. I have no reason to think that is related except its different than my other accounts.
    I can manually copy to sent folder fine. Have varied the setting for save files to in the account, with no effect.
    I have settings to leave message in same folder on replies, so suspect it cant copy to sent,
    even though it has no other similar issues.
    Once it hangs, the mail sub-window is dead. It wont send it again, closing it makes a warning dialog.
    So, I assume this is some weird interaction with my mail host, but I have no way to diagnose further.
    It baffles me why it would make a difference if its a reply or a new email.
    Webmail host is inmotionhosting.com
    Thanks for any pointers.

    That "change" tells Thunderbird that your imap server is strange in that the special folders hang off the inbox on the server. ie inbox\send, inbox\drafts etc. The root of the folder in "inbox." not the more common " " this is what you replaced with inbox.
    What is generally simply not considered is that the mail server runs IMAP server software. This is not a single IMAP program. Like word processors there are multiple "brands" and each one has it's own setup and its own strengths. So when writing a program that connects to an imap server there needs to be setting to cope with all the possibilities. You have just changed your settings to cope with the possibility that the people setting up the server decided the personal namespace was inbox.
    BTW I think you will find the messages were going out. The SMTP sending process is separate to the saving of the mail to the sent folder.

  • Why I can't send any e-mail messages with 6230i?

    Hi mates,
    I have a Nokia 6230i with a Vodafone Italian sim card in it.
    I know for sure that I CAN retrieve messages form my incoming POP3 e-mail server but I can't send any e-mail messages with it.
    Any time I try to do that it prompts me an information balloon saying: message failed. Why??
    I mean, I properly set up my phone with all Vodafone details but it still does not seem to work.
    Any help will be appreciate
    Stefano.
    P.S.
    I can even send and receive MMS and of course SMS too
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    thanks mate for your reply
    When you say: "Make sure your SP allows sending e-mail"
    Do you mean the provider who give me the mail service?
    Because I know for sure that with MS Outlook express I can send and recive e-mail with it
    Bye,
    Stefano.

  • Why i can't send "MAIL FROM:"?

    i wonder why i failed to send "MAIL FROM:" while commnunicating with the server using SMTP protocol?
    my code is:
    socket = new java.net.Socket(strServer, 25);
    dis = new java.io.DataInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
    dos = new java.io.DataOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
    //send Mail from command to the server
    dos.writeBytes("MAIL FROM: " + "[email protected]" + "\r\n");
    response = readLastLine(dis); //get the last line of the reply
    if (!response.startsWith("250")) { //if ok, response should starts with
    //250, otherwise, wrong
    destroyResource(socket, dis, dos);
    return;
    when i debug the program, i found the response starts with "500"
    i don't know why?
    can somebody give me the answer?

    Wouldn't it be easier to just use the JavaMail API rather than
    writing your own SMTP protocol support?
    What message does the server include with its response?

  • Problem with replies in Maverick's mail.  Originating emails send fine.  When replying to an email (various addresses) the reply is hung up and can not be sent.  Option becomes put in draft, delete, etc.  Any suggestions would be helpful

    Problem with replies in Maverick's mail.  Originating emails send fine.  When replying to an email (various addresses) the reply is hung up and can not be sent.  Option becomes put in draft, delete, etc.  Any suggestions would be helpful.  Mid 2013 iMac.

    I don't know how rare this is.  I went a week or so without a problem, and now it's starting to recur.  Also, in some instances, an email will look unsent (remain in the outbox on the Treo), but it has been sent, and recipients are replying while I'm trying to figure out what is going on.  Further, it will send the same email over and over during this madness.
    This is a show stopper.  If there isn't a software fix soon, I may chuck this phone in the garbage.
    Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)
    UPDATE:  The problem comes and goes.  The next day, no changes to the treo, everything workeds.  Now i'm suspecting the sprint server, and how it/the phone responds from failing to send while roaming.  I've since turned off roaming, and haven't had a problem for several days.

  • Whenever I reply to an e-mail the window comes up but without the paper airplane in the top left corner.  The only way to send the reply is to close it and save as a draft.  Then I can pull it up from Drafts and it has the airplane on it.

    Launch Mail.
    Click "New Message" in the Toolbar.
    When the new message window opens up, click "View" menu in the menu bar.
    Select "Show Toolbar" from the dropdown.
    or

  • Why do I get an "unable to connect - There may be a problem with the mail server or network." message from iCloud.  I have verified the settings.  I can access my iCloud account online but can't send or receive e-mail via the mail account.

    Text limits to the "Question" link prevents a full explanation:
    This is a long-time problem.  I have tried to resolve it with Apple but their "Customer Support" is merely a name.
    I can go online and access my e-mail but when I try to send or receive e-mail via iCloud through my internet server (Google fiber now but the same situation existed with my prior service), I receive "There may be a problem with the mail server or network.  Verify the settings for 'Apple Email' and try again.
    "The server returned the error:  The server 'p0-imap.mail.me.com' refused to allow a connection on port 143."
    Well, I have verified the setting and tried again and again and …
    Well, you get the idea …

    Maybe you should test these things before calling people out, because these settings do function perfectly well.
    iCloud is not supported on Snow Leopard or lower, why bother to mention it?
    The OP has an iCloud account, and that can not be opened without Lion or Mountain Lion (on a Mac), IOS5 or 6 (on an iPhone/iPad)
    The document I linked to is Apples documentation for iCloud on current devices,I don't care whether you believe that you know better than they do, but it will affect the people who follow your advice as it won't work

  • Why can I not send e-mails from my e-mail account? I can receive e-mails. Not an iCloud account. It is a Bell Aliant account.

    Why can I not send e-mails from my e-mail account? I can receive e-mails. It is not an iCloud account it is a Bell Aliant account. An account I pay for.
    This is the second time in three months this has occurred. Bell Aliant suggested I contact Apple directly as the only option is to remove my e-mail account and reconfigure it. This will mean losing all my files. These files are very important as my account is a business account.
    Bell Aliant thought perhaps it is an Apple problem and that Apple may better be able to remedy the situation without me losing my e-mail files.

    Sorry ?
    An Internet email provider losses all your Mail and it's Apple's fault ??
    Did they explain how the app managed to delete all of your mail and then not even let you have access ?
    If that was the case the app should still be able to access the empty folders.
    I know there is often blame and counter blame in these situations but there are limits.
