Yahoo mail SMTP server connection to NZ? - WTF?

Having lots of trouble getting yahoo mail accounts to work. I noticed that when I input a Yahoo account and then check the SMTP server that the Playbook is assigning I get:
SEND.XTRA.CO.NZ
ummmm, as they say WTF? Why in the world would I be wanting to connect through some server in New Zealand?
This is just weird!

Hi,
But you can configure programs like Outlook Express to see your yahoo mails .
Isn't it the same thing ? No it's not the same thing.
Most of the 'free' mail services might allow you to access them via the POP3 and IMAP protocols to view your mail (and send), this is not the same as access the SMTP service.
APEX sends mails via the SMTP service, if Yahoo don't allow you to access their SMTP service (which they don't appear to allow, I checked) then you're not going to be able to do it.

Mac OS X Leopard Mail SMTP server keeps going offline and won't come on

My SMTP in mail on my email accounts keeps going offline and I can't work out how to get it working again. My internet connection is fine. I am receiving emails. I was able to send earlier on my business email account but now my .mac account has gone offline and then my business on went on me.
I only started using my business email account in mail today and loaded the account into mail. Does anyone have any answers for this as I can see there have been some other people who might have had a similar problem but I can't see any fixes?
I have deleted and reloaded both my .mac and work account a couple of times now and restarted my computer but still no good.
Can anyone help?

I have that offline mail smtp server when I try to send emails from work with my macbook. I've always been able to send emails away from home using the login and password in the smtp configurations. It's a real pain since I use one email account for work and personal business. I can receive email but cannot send any. Everytime I have to answer an email while I'm working, I have to go to the browser, go to my provider's mail page, login and send from there my emails.
Do we have the same problem?

Outgoing Mail (SMTP) server

Trying to test/setup send email at EMDBControl to my email [email protected], wondering what i should put in
outgoing Mail (SMTP) server box?
after setting up notification when i press test button, getting erro, [email protected] : Failed to connect to gateway:smtp.gmail.com sending failed

As far as I'm aware, GMail isn't running a public SMTP server. Assuming you're running this on your home machine, does your ISP have a SMTP server you could use?

This problem may occur at low-use times when Messaging is installed with the
Trend virus protection software on the same system.

Change the version of the Trend software from 3.0 to the older 2.62 version.

It's possible that your provider has made a change.
I think STARTTLS usually is used with port 587, instead of the standard SSL port 465.
Could you look up your provider's current SMTP settings to see whether your "Outgoing Server" settings need to be updated? If it's difficult to translate between your provider's help page and Thunderbird's dialog controls, you could provide a link to your provider's help page.

IPhoto 11 (9.2.1) can't use iCloud Mail smtp server for email.

iPhoto 11 (9.2.1) can't use iCloud Mail smtp server for email. "The email server didn't recognise username/password combination". Both appear correct in preferences/accounts. Mail sends and receives messages perfectly.
(This problem also occurs when trying to send from Thunderbird, however both iPhoto and Thunderbird can send perfectly well using the Gmail server).

Hi there
I should explain that I have 5 days experience of the iMac but have had a working iCloud account with my iPad for several months. I don't think this is an iCloud issue as such. My thought is that this is something to do with the Mail application itself and its relationship to my Apple ID etc. (Perhaps when the iMac first configured itself?)
I have deleted and manually reset both Mail and iPhone account settings for iCloud using the Apple recommended settings and I have tentatively checked that the username/password combination is as expected in Keychain but I'm too much of an Apple novice to go any further with that.
On a PC I think I would try reinstalling the Mail programme but I don't see that as an option.

...Not alone with problems on "Mail" app server connection, iMap!!!! I believe Apple is strengthening their server farm. Has been out for over a week; they were wise to have the iCloud also in the cloud.

Not alone with problems on "Mail" app server connection, iMap!!!! I believe Apple is strengthening their server farm. Has been out for over a week; they were wise to have the iCloud also in the cloud. Be patient!

Have you considered the possibility that the third party fan software might itself be implicated in the issue, theosib (or perhaps something else introduced at about that time?).
My inclination in a situation like this would be to back up your drive to an external, wipe the drive, and do a clean installation. At the very least I'd try an archive and install.
Do you have plenty of free space on the drive? Once you get things down below the last 10 to 20% things can get hairy at times, and may not be fixed as a result of simply freeing up some room, as free space fragmentation is likely to have set in.
As far as RAM goes, either "Rember" - http://www.kelleycomputing.net:16080/rember/ or, better still, but less user friendly, "memtest" - http://www.memtestosx.org/ does a much better job of checking your RAM than the AHT. Still takes a while to run for a thorough test, but much quicker than the approach you are planning on using.
You might also want to use "Activity Monitor" to check for any applications with progressive "memory leaks" or that are acting as CPU hogs, given your symptoms

Yahoo mail can't connect to server

I've started having this issue as well. First time about a month ago I deleted Yahoo mail from my phone and added it back. Didn't help. Then one day the mail account just started syncing again. Now I'm having the same issue again. Keep getting the 'cannot get mail', 'connection to the server failed' message.Not sure what I did. How about nothing? Do I just wait it out again like last time? Or is there a fix for this? And why does it keep happening?

All your questions needs to be directed to Yahoo.
It is a known issue with Yahoo mobile mail.

Yahoo Mail generates "A connection error occurred." within the Preferences panel

Since Yahoo Mail changed to IMAP I have been having SMTP connection problems with the outgoing server. I have tried deleing the keychain entries, etc. but nothing worked. I deleted the account from Mail and rebooted my MBP. Now, when I try and add a Yahoo email account I quickly get the message "A connection error occurred." without any indication of the error. The only option is to manual add the account which creates the error "Unable to verity account or password".
Any feedback would be appreciated.

Since first posting I contacted AppleCare. AppleCare performed various troubleshooting steps (pinging the SMTP server on the specific ports, creating test accounts and finally restoring Mountain Lion) which lead me to believe the problem is with Yahoo.
I was using Yahoo Mail Plus since 2002 but have since cancelled. I am using the Ad version and the problem remains. As a paying subscriber the only support option is email. There does not appear to be any urgency on Yahoo to prioritze the issue or communicate.

Mail - SMTP Server Offline

I am unable to send emails from my new MacBook on Mail using the SMTP server. I have a hotmail account and the server has apparently been offline for about a week. I am able to receive emails with no problems but Mail is unable to connect to the outgoing server. Also, I don't know if it has any impact, but I believe that Microsoft are trying to phase hotmail accounts to Outlook. Any advice?

Thanks, but I found that thread but it made no difference.
I was able to find ports 25 and 587, but not 465 - if that matters. The text on ports wasn't terribly clear to be honest.
465 is not a supported port.
Here are the correct settings, are you using them?
Incoming (POP3) Server
Server address: pop3.live.com
Port: 995
SSL Encryption: Yes
Outgoing (SMTP) Server
Server address: smtp.live.com
Port: 25 (or 587 if 25 is blocked)
Authentication: Yes
TLS or SSL Secure Encrypted Connection: Yes
User name: Your email address
Password: Your password
If you don’t want email to be deleted from your Outlook.com inbox after it’s downloaded to your email app, select the Leave a copy of messages on the server option.

Mail - SMTP Server Fails

I'm completely baffled about why I can't succeed at sending email. I just went over all the settings with the ISP, and they say they are correct. Guy sounded kinda green, though. So maybe I'm not completely baffled.
I'm getting some conflicting data from Mail. The default set-up was for SMTP on port 465. My ISP wants Port 25. I'm running the Connection Doctor, which tells me I'm getting through to the POP server, but not SMTP. Passwords are identical, and working with the POP server.
The ISP uses a very vanilla SMTP set-up:
smtp.fubar.com
Port 25 (Which I reset to Port 25)
myusername
no SSL
password
Heres a log of a connection session:

Apparently, my ISP needs better help. It seems two things were going on ...
my return email address for the account I was setting up is not the same domain as the SMTP server. It appears that the connection was initially choking because of the mismatch. My usual email client, Mailsmith, doesn't introduce this problem, even with the same settings. Hmmmm ...
After I fixed that, it still didn't complete, however. But I got some good information from the Connection Doctor, finally. The SMTP server doesn't require authentication. My configuration was trying to authenticate, based on information from the ISP that both servers "use the same password". Ah well ...
Once authentication was turned off, it then started taking outgoing mail. Problem solved, I think.

Mail smtp server port problem

I just changed isp provider and I am trying to use mail with my yahoo account. Everything seems to work except sending mail. I have talked with Yahoo and Adelphia and they can not figure it out. Adelphia suggested that my server port was blocked but I don't know how that could be because it was working with my last isp verizon. How do I unblock port 25 if that is the case or do you have any other suggestions?

Most, if not all ISPs block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network (or not provided by the ISP) on Port 25. Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only that is outside of their network on Port 25 but some block its use regardless.
These restrictions are in place as part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.
You cannot unblock using Port 25 with an SMTP server that is outside of your ISPs network. If using an SMTP server that is outside of your ISP's network is blocked by your ISP on Port 25, only your ISP can do so.
Are you also accessing an email account and SMTP server in Mail that is provided by Adelphia and if so, are you able to send mail with your Adelphia email account?
If so, sounds like the person you talked to with Adelphia does not know what they are talking about.
Something to try.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your Yahoo account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below.
Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
Test if this resolves the problem. If not and you are accessing an email account and SMTP server in Mail provided by Adelphia and you are able to send messages with this account, select/use Adelphia's SMTP server to send mail with your Yahoo email account which is invisible to all recipients.

Testing Outgoing Mail (SMTP) server does not work

I want to set up the Outgoing Mail (SMTP) servers using the Notification Methods page. After filling-in the fields with the correct name of the server and a correct email address, when I click on Test button, it returns the following error:
 
smtp.futuretrends.com: Test failed with message: "Sending failed; nested exception is: javax.mail.SendFailedException: Invalid Addresses; nested exception is: javax.mail.SendFailedException: 554 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: Access denied 
 
By the way, the outgoig email server is using port number 25
 
How can I resolve the issue?

Please put more light about your environment
oms version,platform etc
