  • Outgoing server is offline, but I can still receive email

    I have successfully set up Mail 3 in Leopard, but I have one problem. For whatever reason, I cannot send email. My account is online and I am able to receive messages without incident. However, it shows that my outgoing server is offline in my account information. I am using the same/correct outgoing server. Did I overlook something when setting up my account, or is this my ISP's problem?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Ok everyone, I got my .Mac Mail working finally. It seems that there are 2 outgoing server ports. The default port is 25, but some ISP servers might block that port, so the other one you use is 587. I switched mine from 25 to 587 and I'm online and working perfectly.

    I hope this helps everyone else solve this issue!
    Later.

  • Outgoing server is offline.  Help??

    I have just set up my gmail account on my mac email
    my outgoing server is showing as offline
    can you help

    Hello,
    In Mail's Window menu item, choose Connection Doctor, does that report failed for smtp?
    Modt likely the port or authentication method if nuser & Password are correct... sometimes the user ID is  JohnDoe, other times it needs to be [email protected]

  • All Mail outgoing server are offline

    All of my outgoing mail servers are claiming to be offline. The connection doctor says that they are connected to the server with no problem, but I can't send any outgoing mail. I can receive mail, but cannot respond.
    please help!

    Just called apple support (no wait on hold! Once again, really good customer service...) and wouldn't you know it, while I was talking to the support staff, I fixed the problem myself. Then the mail specialist got online and told me to do something similar to what I had done. Here's the fix. Try THEIRS first:
    Mine: Go to finder - home -- library -- preferences.
    Find the file called "com.apple.mail.plist" and drag it to the trash and empty trash. Restart mail. You will have to re-enter all your account info and all your mail on your server will have to be downloaded again. I use IMAP and everything is stored, so that wasn't a big deal for me. Once I re-entered all the account info, outgoing worked again.
    THEIRS: In preferences, open a new account (use the + sign in the accounts pane in "Preferences"). Give it a different name but put in all your info. See if it works. If it does, delete the other account.
    Theirs is a little safer, I guess. Make sure you back up messages, though.
    Good luck.

  • Yahoo outgoing server all goofy.  My friend and I are tearing out our hair.

    Hello,
    A friend had a mailing list. For some reason the email could not be sent.
    I have checked all over the internet and a few emails in this forum.
    Anyone got the latest about Yahoo Mail and Mac Mail working?
    He has the paid yahoo account.
    Thank you!

    Did you catch the posts about Yahoo changing their smtp settings awhile back?
    I'm on Dial-up or I'd look it up, but Yahoo or search here for dozens of topics on it.
    Oh, here ya go...

  • Yahoo outgoing mail server not working.

    My yahoo outgoing server not working on iPod touch or iPad it says apple.smtp.yahoo failed...incoming is ok so far...this outgoing mail failure just started about a couple of days back....anyone else having this problem?????what should I do?rediffmail account does not get set up either so just unable to use any of my emails. :(

    Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
    I get 100% success pinging mail.adelphia.net, and if at your home venue where Adelphia is your ISP, then I think no separate Authentication is required. Port 25 would be the proper port. However, if you are not at home, and the provider of internet connection limits you to using only authenticated SMTP then you would not able to use mail.adelphia.net as the Outgoing Server.
    Are you at the venue where Adelphia is the ISP?

    it should works, if you use the following parameters:
    Smtp server:  smtp.mail.yahoo.com:465
    User Secure connection: SSL
    I'll bet you it will NOT work & even give you 10 to 1 odds that it will fail.
    Yahoo won't relay your spam; which is why your messages will be rejected.
    What is the difference between your message & a message from a spammer?

  • Use Yahoo! Push IMAP and GMail Outgoing Server

    Hi. I use GMail as my primary email account, but I really like the Yahoo push IMAP capability.
    I have setup my gmail account to forward to my free yahoo account.
    How can I setup my iPhone to check my yahoo account (with push imap) but when I send, to use the GMail SMTP server? I can't find the outgoing server setting when I setup the yahoo account on my phone.

    Read the reply post carefully people.
    There is no mention of a magical new Yahoo account shortcut.
    The reply post states that the only short cut that exist is when you set up an e-mail account.
    The big one with Yahoo on it, the one you all would have had to of used already.
    In other words their is no magic way of doing what you want to do.

    To each his own. I own Outlook, but I avoid using it like the plague. The only Mac mail software I have liked better than Apple's Mail was Qualcomm's Eudora, which is no longer updated or even available, won't run without Rosetta, and unfortunately never quite got the hang of IMAP.
    Check out this post regarding this user's continuing use of Eudora on his Lion MacBook:
    Shield Eudora from Lion's Claws
    A thousand thanks and kudos to Michael for this fabulously excellent thread!
    Eudora's now happy in her new Snow Leopard VM home on my Lion ModBook!
    Appears essential to keep resource-forked data off Lion disk:
    First attempt with Eudora on SL VM was sharing data on Lion disk. Error messages on open like "can't find Table of Contents" suggest Lion ate resource forks crucial to Eudora.
    Found success by transferring data from SL Mac to thumb drive, then mounted drive in SL VM so Lion couldn't touch.
    While Michael warns against storing data in VM, appears there's no choice with Eudora. At least She's enthroned on a mirrored RAID.
    There is Nothing like Eudora! (to tune of "There is Nothing Like a Dame" from South Pacific -- Oops! my gray hair is showing!)
    (It's amazing Parallels can force Lion to store taboo resource forks. Thank God for code warriors!)

  • Why has mail suddenly started saying that my outgoing mail server is offline?

    Why has mail suddenly started saying that my outgoing mail server is offline?
    I can receive mail from my ISP using Apple Mail but as of this morning I can't send via my ISP.
    When I check Mail preferences, they say that my ISP's outgoing mail server is "offline".
    I haven't changed any settings, so  what's gone wrong? I need a fix. At the moment I'm having to use Gmail.

    If your email is hosted by Google then there are several known issues with Apple Mail under Mavericks accessing Gmail.  Using a web browser is a good backup.  In Apple Mail you can goto the menubar, choose Mailbox and choose take all accounts offline.  Then bring them back online.  Worst case you may need to delete and readd the account (usually if something was setup wrong) Menu bar - Mail > Accounts.
    If you have turned on 2 step Google Authentication then you'll need to issue a specific email password for Apple Mail to use to bypass authentication.  Google the steps.
    Best of luck in getting your mail server online.  Hopefully you can specify multiple servers in settings.

    Don't delete your old account yet. Just setup a new one in Mail>Preferences>Accounts, little plus icon. Choose IMAP as account type, not ,mac or MobileMe.

  • Yahoo Biz mail can't send - Outgoing server "(null)" failed

    I recently purchased the iPhone and can't get my Yahoo biz mail account to send mail, it only receives. I have read the other thread on this topic and reported it via the Apple feed back site but I still have not seen anyone post a reply that has found a solution for this other than using POP3 which then limits folder access only to the inbox. Does anyone have a success story for this issue and a way to solve the problem? Please reply if you have any info. Thanks!

    Try cwmx.com as the host name on outgoing server under mail. I don't use Yahoo biz mail , but it solved my problem last week

    Hello Jeba1969
    Use Connection Doctor to see what is causing it to be offline, like a incorrect password or a different setting for authentication. Check out the article below to get a start on troubleshooting your issues with sending mail.
