Wont send or receive emails

Hi there,
I have been using thunderbird for my work emails for about 5 months with no problems. At half 5 this evening I was no longer able to send or receive emails.
When I click "get mail" it just says "looked up mail.pitman-training.net..." instead of "No new messages" or whatever at the bottom and no emails come through. (I know there are emails waiting to come through because I have send several tests through from my personal webmail account)
When I try to send an email I get the following error:
Sending of message failed.
An error occurred sending mail: SMTP server smtp.pitman-training.net is unknown. The server may be incorrectly configured. Please verify that your SMTP server settings are correct and try again.
I checked all my server settings and they are all correct.
Im using version 24.3.0. im using win 7.
Any ideas?
I desperately need to access these emails for work.

You are having DNS issues, if your in a corporate environment you will need to contact your help desk as the DNS server might have died or other server issues arisen, for smaller scale a good start would be to turn off all devices including modems, routers and firewall devices for 60 seconds and power them up again.

Curve 9300 will not send or receive emails.

I have a curve 9360 that is out for repair. I have a 9300 as a loaner. my email account shows up, but I cannot send or receive emails. it wont let me access it via setup either!

Hi and Welcome to the Community!!
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
2) Delete and Resend Service Books
KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
If you have no CMIME entry, then skip the deletion
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
3) Batt Pull Reboot
With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
Good luck!

Can no longer send or receive email from any account after Security Update

Hello,
I have a problem with my email in Mail. I let software update install the latest security update (007) a few days ago. I have not been able to send or receive my email since the update. I have several accounts and use Mail as my client for all. This includes my mac.com account, 3 att.net accounts and my website email. All give me the same error which is an SSL thing and has something to do with the certificates. I am able to receive email if I turn SSL off on the ATT accounts but not the mac.com (and if I try to collect my email with SSL off I get an angry message from ATT warning me I am not allowed to do so) and I cannot send any at all from any account.
The error message reads "unable to connect- there may be a problem with the mail server or network.... The server error encountered was: Mail was unable to verify the identity of this server, which has a certificated issued to "mail.mac.com". The error was: An SSL error occured while trying to read data from the server. Verify this server supports SSL and that your account settings are correct". It then states that the certificate could not be verified.
The certificate date on the mac.com account reads May, 29th , 2010.
I also have an iMac and a MacBook Pro which are also running Tiger. I have not and will not run the security update on these machines until I find out why it has messed up my email on the G5. I can still send and receive email with the exact same account settings on the MacBook so I know it is not the settings but something to do with the Security Update.
Has anyone else had trouble with this update? Any advice?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
I don't know if this is a corrupted preference file or not, but it sure can't hurt to try this.
If Mail is open, Quit Mail.
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Drag that .plist file to the Desktop. Launch Mail and see if you can send or receive e-mail. If you can, that .plist file is corrupted. Drag it to the trash, empty the trash and reboot. Your Mac will create a new preference file for you the next time you launch Mail.
Also... run Disk Utility and Repair Disk Permissions. Disk Utility is in your Applications/Utilities folder. Launch DU, select MacintoshHD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab, click Repair Disk Permissions. Quit DU when it's finished and reboot.

Anyone have any solution to problems with iphone 3G not sending or receiving email after the recent upgrade?

Uprgaed yesterday & now can't send or receive emails.
My account is set up using mobile me and was working fine until I installed the recent upgrade last night.
It doesn't make any difference if I have wi-fi enabled or disabled.
I have checked the stmp and inputted all the correct info i.e. username/password. No joy.
Very, very frustrating

try deleting the account and re-adding it.

Ipod touch generation 2 ~ I can't send or receive emails from my gmail account. I have gone back to factory settings and updated the device. It will not take my password.

I have not used this Touch iPod for quite some time and thought I would use it for collecting email when I am out. I have wasted a lot of time trying to get this to work and now wonder if the 2nd generation is too old to send and receive email.

I am using imap on all my other devices. I use a Google domain email address. The only divice I have that will not sync is this older generation iTouch. The version without the camera. Model PB528LL. I know my email address is correct and the password works everywhere else.

Why can't I send or receive email on iPhone?

Why ant I send or receive email?

Well, I'm not real sure. You would need to provide more details about what happens when you try? How did you set up the email, who is the provider, what errors you get when you try to get or send mail?

Help with ATT email setup. Was working fantastic but can no longer send or receive email.

I have been having problems with sending and receiving emails on both my macbook and my Ipad using my att.net email for over a month. I didn't change any of the original settings when that happened but after trying to fix it after scouring the internet for help I have my settings like this on my Ipad. Actually I have two separate ones trying to get either to work.
First one: Yahoo!
Outgoing mail server - SMTP Yahoo!SMPT Server
under advanced Primary serve - Yahoo! SMTP Server On
I can't find anyplace else to change the settings.
If I am missing a place to go, please explain exactly how I find it.
Second one:"my user name"@att.net
Imap Account info
Host Name Inbound.att.net
Username: "[email protected]"
Passsword ***********
Outgoing mail server
SMTP outbound.att.net
under the advanced
Use SSL on
Autentification PW
IMAP Path Prefix /
Server Port 993
I think it is imap although I have used pop, also. The error message i get is:
SMPT:"email address"@[email protected] is not correct.
I don't know where it is drawing that from. I'm willing to eliminate all ATT associated accounds on my ipad and begin again if someone can help me get it set up correctly. I have all these mac products so i can seemlessly work on all my devices. Right now, I'm not a happy camper.
I am having similar problems with my MacBook Pro so if there is someone outthere that is using ATT as their email address and using it successful on their Apple devices, I would sure appreciate any help I can get. BTW, ATT help line is useless on this.
Thank you!

Can't send or receive email when mobile

I am using two 3rd party email accounts as well as my verizon.net account with Outlook Express. Everything works fine as long as I am connected to my home server. Immediately I go on the road I can no longer send or receive emails using the 3rd party accounts in Outlook Express. And yes I have changed my out going server port to 587 in Outlook Express

What 3rd party email are you using?
Do they allow 587, or should you be using a different port?
hat error are you getting when you attempt to send?
What Internet Service Provider are you using when connecting away from home?

Cannot send or receive email through Verizon server after Thunderbird update

After updating Thunderbird, Verizon server no longer recognizes my password, so authentication keeps failing. I can neither send nor receive email. Account settings are correct. Any ideas? Thanks.

Are your server settings set to
Server pop.verizon.net
Port 995
Connection security SSL

Can't send or receive email from one account

Just bought the iPod Touch last week. Set up Hotmail account with no problems. However my MacDialup.com account (used to be dial up, but is DSL now) won't work at all. They aren't set up to use SSL, so I turned that off after the iPod automatically tried it. I tried IMAP and POP, tried changing incoming server port number from defalt 143 to 110, triple checked spelling on every single entry including password. Tried calling my ISP tech support and talked to a tech who owns an iPhone and lives in the bay area, but he couldn't figure it out. I tried deleting the MacDialup account then syncing the Touch to my iTunes on my MacBook Pro (which has no problem sending or receiving email from this same account) and had the email settings imported from the MacBook Pro - still no luck. Tomorrow I'll try bringing both my MacBook Pro and iPod Touch into the Genious Bar. Maybe they can figure it out.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Hi, and thank you for replying. I have a .com address and somehow (goodness knows how I managed it an @cloud too) in the 3/4 weeks before this happened it seemed every 30mins I kept being asked for passwords, very annoying but not sure if relevant?
