Yet More Trouble Sending Mail

I'm having trouble sending mail via my POP account on ATT. It worked fine until a few days ago and then quit working. I didn't change any settings or download any updates, so that's not the cause. I've gone into preferences and checked all the server settings, and they seem fine except that in the accounts pane, the outgoing server has my user id mysteriously added on following a colon (ie servername: userid). In the server settings popup, the server name is correct, without the added colon. I tried deleting the server and re-adding it, but it still doesn't work. I know I should be able to get to the server, since we use the same settings on my husband's computer, which uses the same network connection as my Mac. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Nancy
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.2) Mail 2.0.3

It's now working again, after I deleted a note that was in the outbox. Perhaps something in that note was hanging things up, although I'm not sure what could be.

Is anyone else having trouble sending mail? I have a MobileMe subscription - not sure whether that is the problem. The Port assigned to my mail account on my iMac has a different number for the one recommended by Apple, but I hesitate to change it.

Is anyone else having trouble sending mail on an iMac running 10.6.8. I get a messsage that the server can't be accessed. Apple help suggests using a different port from the one that was originally set. I have a Mobile Me account. Any suggestions?

I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

Troubling sending mail. Wants me to pick another mail server?

I'm having trouble sending mail through my MobileMe.
I set up all the outgoing settings according to this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1152
But my email still doesn't want to go out. I've run connection doctor and everything gets a green light. Any suggestions?

I had a problem today, for some reason me.com had the mail message being sent from a different account than the one I used to create it in. I just deleted the message and did it again and it went the second time..maybe this helps maybe it dosn't.

thanks a lot for any help

That message said the server could not relay, right? That is one of the JavaMail FAQs. Ask the administrator of your mail server (mail.mty.itesm.mx) about it.

Trouble sending mail over wireless

Hi all,
I'm experiencing a problem sending email (using Mail) since I upgraded the Leopard. The problem happens somewhat randomly, but is extremely annoying. Basically, I can send and receive emails without any problem if I'm connected via ethernet. However, when I'm connected via wifi (in both cases from home), I sometimes get a connection error when I try to send mail. I've set up the same email accounts in Entourage, and sending mail works fine via wireless. This appears to be a Mail issue. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
John

I've been having similar issues since upgrading to Leopard. Mail not sending or receiving, problems with Mail crashing... However, through browsing the forums, I've discovered solutions that have worked for me, and maybe will work for you.
I have an exchange account, and could send and receive if I were plugged in by ethernet, but not by wireless.
Several solutions through the threads have come up:
1. If mail was in your dock before the upgrade, remove it from the dock, and then relaunch it from the applications folder (and keep it on the dock). This largely eliminated the crashing and inability to receive properly.
2. I checked for the latest firmware update for my router, a Linksys WRT54G V.5. Turns out I didn't have the latest. As soon as I upgraded the firmwarm, sending and receiving by wireless worked like it's supposed to... it just works. It suggests a problem between Leopard and the router that you might want to look into. Of course, wifi send and receive worked fine in Tiger.
3. I didn't have to add mail as a program with access in the new firewall preference pane. Everything works fine without doing so after the modifications listed above.
I hope this helps... These aren't my ideas, but what I've found through this discussion forum, so I want to thank those others who have picked out this issue separately. I was only trying to collect my findings here.
Good luck!

Trouble Sending Mail only from MacBook Pro

I've got a MacPro and a MacBook Pro. The MacPro is connected via ethernet while the MacBook Pro is connected to the same network via WiFi. I can always connect to the internet on the laptop and also receive incoming mail, but cannot send mail using the Mail app on the laptop. No problems sending from the MacPro. Any ideas about what might be going on?

... one other piece of info - when I connect to the same home network with my iPhone, I can both receive and send emails on the same email account.

Trouble sending mail to a group

HI, I set up a new group in my mail program and when I try to send it an error comes up saying "This message could not be delivered and will remain in your Outbox until it can be delivered.
Sending the message content to the server failed."
I believe I have all my settings correct since I can send and receive mail to individuals with no problem. Does anyone know why I can't send an email to a group?
Thanks

Beth,
Welcome to the Discussions.
Are you using 10.3.9, as your system info reports?
A likely explanation is that you have one or more addresses, where there is a comma that is delimiting an address in a problematic way. This would most often happen, if in front of the email address, the names were listed as Howell, Beth<[email protected]>. In such a case "Howell" is stranded by the comma, and first treated as an address, all by itself, but then this is recognized as an invalid form, and sending it not attempted with any of the other, valid, addresses. Proof your list, very carefully, for this.
This is different from a failure due to obsolete address.
However, other problems can arise from the number of recipients, and the SMTP you are using. How many recipients are in the group?

OT: Trouble sending mail lately?

Hi,
I've been getting some strange undeliverable email messages
returned to me
of late.
One of my websites sends emails to users as required, but
some users mails
are not being delivered.
The error message returned is either DNS not found or MX
record not found.
These mail addresses are for places like Hotmail etc - which
I know has MX
records and DNS setup correctly.
Anyone got any ideas what might be the trouble here?
Cheers,
Rob

Is anybody else receiving strange mail delivery failure
messages currently?
Is there something wierd going on with the DNS system
currently?
I am being asked questions about why email is bouncing but
the errors
reported are things like "no MX records were found" for
domains like
hotmail.com, which is just ridiculous!
Anyone else getting this?
I'm seriously puzzled!

Still having trouble sending mail after Yosemite software update!!

It worked for a few days after I installed the update, but it's now having the same issue all over again with outgoing mail. Infuriating!

Hello champsanmarcos,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with outgoing in message in Mail for Yosemite. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
Mail (Yosemite): If you can’t send messages
If the Send button is dimmed in the toolbar of your message, or your message can’t be sent using the outgoing mail server, try these suggestions.
Make sure the outgoing (SMTP) mail server is specified as directed by the provider of your email account. For more information, see Verify an account’s outgoing mail server.
If a dialog states that you need permission to send a message, your account uses parental controls. For more information, see Request permission to send messages.
Choose Window > Connection Doctor, then follow instructions displayed in the Details column.
If there’s a firewall problem, verify that firewall software isn’t blocking email traffic on port 25, 465, or 587. Also check whether you’re affected by another firewall, such as software installed separately from OS X or built into an Internet sharing router, or administered by your account provider. Contact the appropriate person for information.
You may be able to send messages from only a certain location, or your account provider may allow you to send messages but with stricter settings (such as requiring a name and password). Contact your provider, then change the outgoing mail server settings in Mail preferences as needed.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

Yet another cant send mail issue

Hi, I am going nuts here!! At home I have Comcast and my dotmac account works via port 25 no set up, perfect. I am now in another house with comcast and I cannot send anything. I telnetted port 25, nothing shows, so I contacted Comcast and they sent me this url http://www.comcast.net/help/faq/index.jsp?faq=EmailMail_(Mac)17798 it seems to have ALL the answers, but I am just going round in circles.
Assume I want to set up for traveling purposes. I set up a new account POP, used dotmac info for incoming mail/server info and for outgoing server I have smtp.comcast.net, I use the 465 port with ssl, and for the password authentication I use my dotmac name and password.
In advanced I use 995 port and ssl.
This info seems good to go, but when I try to send I always get the dialog box The SMTP server “smtp.comcast.net” rejected the password for user “dotmac account”.
I just cant work out why it wont accept the password. Should I have some extra comcast info?
this is madness, but oh well, is there an answer out there

Checking Comcast's website, Comcast's SMTP server settings should be as follows:
SMTP Server: smtp.comcast.net
Server Port: 587
Use SSL: Off or not selected.
Authentication: Password
User Name: The portion of your Comcast email address in front of the @ sign only.
Password: Your Comcast account password - the same password used to check the incoming mail server for new messages.
.Mac's SMTP server settings should be as follows:
SMTP Server: smtp.mac.com
Server Port: 587
Use SSL: On/Selected but isn't required.
Authentication: Password
User Name: The portion of your .Mac email address in front of the @ sign only.
Password: Your .Mac account password - the same password used to check the incoming mail server for new messages.
These settings will not guarantee being able to send messages with either account and SMTP server when traveling and not connected to the internet with Comcast. This is determined by the ISP being used to connect to the internet since all ISPs have restrictions on using an SMTP server that is outside of their network or not provided by the ISP.
You can use .Mac's authenticated SMTP server to send messages with your .Mac account only but you can use Comcast's authenticated SMTP server to send messages with your .Mac account when connected to the internet with Comcast.

Trouble sending mail

I'm on a Macbook with Leopard 10.5.8 I have att email.
All the sudden my email won't send. I haven't knowingly changed any settings.
I have noticed my smtp setting says offline. How do I get it back online.
Any other things I can troubleshoot to get my mail to send? It is receiving fine. Thanks.

There would be separate messages regarding the Incoming and Outgoing Servers -- what was reported for each?

Anyone having trouble sending mail through Cox today?

I have had my iPhone since it's release, and have been sending e-mails with no problem. Today for some reason I am getting a message that the server is not responding/failing. Just wondered if I was the only one....

I am not the technical one if the family, but on another thread w/ the same issue, someone called ATT and they said the cmwx server is down.
