With Mail 8.0, the SMTP server selection list has gone?!

Hi,
I use one primary IMAP email account, but multiple addresses, and I have to send my emails using different SMTP servers, according to the email address domains. Now, before updating to OS X 10.10 Yosemite, in the New Mail window, there always was a "Send Using" SMTP server selector right next to the email address selector. Now that's gone, and I can't figure out how to bring it back.
So now I'm unable to send email using other than my primary domain address.
Any ideas?
In fact, if someone could tell me how to directly assign a specific SMTP server to an email address (not to an email account! Remember: I have multiple addresses in one account) - that would be of great help, too.
Thanks much in advance!

I too would like to have the option of being able to select which smtp server to use for each email. Often when I am at a client location I have to use my tethered cellphone for network connection and this requires a specific telco smtp server to be used. Currently now there is a wait while Mail tries a few times with the primary smtp server associated with the account (my normal provider I reach when at home on the broadband) and some indeterminate time later it decides to poll the next server on the list (the telco one). Once it has done this successfully once then further emails seem to get routed immediately to the current smtp server. But the first time each day is a lottery on how long it will take.

    Hi
    You need to check with your ISP whether or not the send mail server (SMTP) requires a password.  Some do, but many do not.  When you know the correct password to send mail, then you need to tell Mail as follows:
    Mail menu > Preferences > Accounts > Select the account
    Click on the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) combo box, and select Edit SMTP Server List...
    In the Account Information tab put the server name
    In the Advanced Tab, set up the authentication information from your ISP.
    Good luck

  • Mail not being able to find the SMTP server

    hi there,
    I am trying to use a new mailbox account but Mail cannot find the SMTP server and refuses to send emails. It is a pop account and it can find the incoming server ok. I know that the server is ok because I can send emails from a webmail version of the account but in Mail..nada.
    Does anyone know why Mail is not finding the server?
    Many thanks
    Shark

    What version of OSX were you using before upgrading to Snow Leopard? Since introduction of Leopard and Mail 3.x, the Outbox has only been seen in the Sidebar when there is one or more messages not yet sent.
    Sending with webmail is no test of the SMTP, since it is not used when sending via webmail. What Port are you presenting the SMTP on, and what does the provider recommend in that regard? Who is that provider?

  • Cannot edit the smtp server list in Mail (Yosemite)

    I am trying to edit the smtp server list in Mail.  I am running Yosemite on my MacBook Pro and always get this message.
    "The servers marked with alert icons are in conflict and cannot be saved. Two servers cannot share the same address and authentication settings. Resolve the conflicts and try again."
    There are no alert icons displayed!!! And I can not  delete a server.
    I need to change some smtp-settings and cannot edit anything.
    Any ideas?

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Accounts.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Relaunch the application and try to recreate the account settings. If there's no change, quit again and put the item you moved back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, delete the item you moved.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Can I change the smtp server with Yahoo push account?

    My yahoo email account will send and receive over EDGE using the default yahoo mail settings. On my home Cox internet WiFi network I can retrieve messages but cannot send. When sending it says it was sent and makes the "swooshing" mail sent sound, but the message disappears. It does not appear in the "sent" folder or "drafts" folder either. No error message is returned.
    I suspect this is related to Cox blocking the smtp server, but the iPhone does not allow me to change the smtp settings on the default yahoo account. Does anyone know how to do this? I can set it up manually for POP access, but then I'm flooded with spam.

    No, you cannot change the SMTP server on the Yahoo push account.
    Yahoo push only works if you configure your account using the Yahoo! Mail shortcut on the iPhone, and that shortcut does not allow for ANY customization.

  • HT2480 In the server domain; Do I use the smtp server OR the incoming mail server?

    I am trying to verify my business mail on my iphone and I have several troubles thus I would like to ask for you help:
    1) its a "webmail.ath.hcmr.gr" mail, so it is a "Microsoft Exchange" mail type? Correct?
    2) in the server field: what do i add? The incoming mail server or the smtp server?
    Thanks

  • When I access my google e-mail account on the I-pad my inbox has at least 6 e-mails with no sender and no subject (absent via I-phone, Mac or PC) I cannot delete them as they cannot be selected- how do I stop them and clear the ones there now?

    Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    You probably have changing settings disabled in Restrictions.

    Hi there I am having trouble with my outlook express this is the first time it has happened it keeps telling me can't connect to the SMTP server and every password I have tried is incorrect this is for 'iCloud' very frustrating as all our phones are ok

    Well I am feeling a bit silly now because that was all I had to do. In the past Workgroup Manager had always opened right up to the list of my users, I never even thought to click on that but apparently that was all that was needed.
    I still am not sure how the iChat Server preferences changed themselves on me, but it is not the first time I have had weird "settings" issues with our Snow Leopard Server.
    Thanks!

  • Sending Mail to a Comcast SMTP server

    Have a MAC PRO and MacBook Pro on the same network both running OS 10.8.2 with two identical email accounts having identical settings.  MAC PRO email accounts work as expected; able to send and receive emails.    However on the MacBook PRO, unable to send emails from either account, only receive emails. I have the same email problem when using the MacBook PRO on different networks, like a Hotel.
    Consistently get an error message stating “the sender address [email protected] was rejected by the server smtp.comcast.net.”
    Tried deleting the accounts, restarting and entering new accounts; reinstalled OS 10.8.2; but no difference in the problem.
    Worked with several layers of Comcast support, trying all sorts of Port and SSL settings, and confirmed my password works on Comcast webmail, but cannot determine why I cannot send email from one Apple computer when the other Apple computer works as expected. All they could do is blame Apple.
    What is different about the MAC PRO (early 1998) and the MAC PRO (15-inch Late 2011}?

    What was the SMTP error?
    Comcast has messed up their outgoing server somehow.  I got a message about "The sender address [email protected]" was rejected by the server smtp.comcast.net." This of course is absurd, since YOUR E-mail address has nothing to do with sending mail.
    If that's the problem, you're going to have to call Comcast and repeatedly escalate the case until you can find someone with even a basic understanding of how E-mail works.  I had to get a "supervisor" involved, and this person was still so ignorant that she had to call me back the next day after "researching" the problem and still proposing asinine attempts to resolve it.  And it never did get fixed, by the time I left the location at which I needed to use Comcast.
    You need to insist that your reply-to address is irrelevant for sending E-mail.  If you're connected directly to Comcast's network (which you are when you're connected through your cable modem), you should be able to send through their SMTP server.  Period.  That's how Time-Warner and Verizon work, for example.  The first thing you're going to hear is "Well, you're not using your Comcast E-mail account."  IRRELEVANT.  And why would anyone use the obscure Comcast-assigned E-mail address in 2013?
    Good luck.

    Given Below is the Error..      The SMTP server requires a secure connection or the client was not authenticated. The server response was: 5.5.1 Authentication Required.
    Solution:
    The error might occur due to following cases.
    case 1: when the password is wrong
    case 2: when you try to login from some App
    case 3: when you try to login from the domain other than your time zone/domain/computer (This
    is the case in most of scenarios when sending mail from code)
    There is a solution for each
    solution for case 1: Enter the correct password.
    Recomended: solution for case 2: go to
    security settings at the following link https://www.google.com/settings/security/lesssecureapps and
    enable less secure apps . So that you will be able to login from all apps.
    solution 1 for case 3: (This might be helpful) you need to review the activity. but reviewing the activity will not be helpful due to latest security
    standards the link will not be useful. So try the below case.
    solution 2 for case 3: If you have hosted your code somewhere on production server and if you have access to the production server, than take remote
    desktop connection to the production server and try to login once from the browser of the production server. This will add exception for login to google and you will be allowed to login from code.
    But what if you don't have access to the production server. try
    the solution 3
    solution 3 for case 3: You have to enable
    login from other timezone / ip for your google account.
    to do this follow the link https://g.co/allowaccess and
    allow access by clicking the continue button.
    And that's it. Here you go. Now you will be able to login from any of the computer and by any means of app to your google account.

  • How to make Mail automatically choose available smtp server?

    I have recently switched to using Mail from Thunderbird.  In general I'm happy with the move in a number of ways, but one feature of Mail annoys me: I use a laptop as my sole computer and when I'm at work I use the smtp server at work because it responds faster than my Comcast provider. When at home, I have to use the comcast smtp because the work server won't accept outgoing mail from outside the university domain. 
    I have my accounts set so that they may use multiple smtp servers (the "use only this server" box is NOT checked), yet each time I switch locations, Mail tries to use the last used server, but then won't automatically swtich to the other.  I have to respond to a dialog box asking which to use. 
    Is there a way to set it to automatically switch smtp servers if it doesn't get a response from the first one it picks?
    Thanks! 

    You would not use JavaMail to make a mail server. JavaMail is for mail clients.

  • Mail will not send out e-mails from my gmail smtp server

    I am using Mail to send and receive e-mails. I have 3 different accounts that I use, of which two are GMail acounts. These two acounts receive e-mails as normal, but upon replying or otherwise sending out e-mail it refuses to send. It appears that the SMTP server is offline. I have re-entered my credentials etc, but this did not fix the problem. Can anyone help me to get over this annoying issue?
