MacBook Pro :: Apple Mail / Can Receive Email But Won't Send
Aug 27, 2014
My apple mail version 7.3 has never had any problems connecting with my gmail account, but recently whenever I try to send an email, it goes straight to the outbox and then a popup saying "Gmail cannot connect to the server" or something like that comes up. It asks me to enter my password, and I do and then it just pops up the same error again. I have tried changing my password and made sure I am entering it correctly but it just does not work. I can receive mail fine.Â
In the past few weeks, I have had major trouble in sending emails from my Macbook via the mail application (program), but I am able to receive mail fine. Any hints before I throw my Macbook onto oncoming traffic (which is also running majorly slow since the last update). I have been sitting here for about 30 mins waiting to send an email.
I am new to Mac so please bear with my incompetence. I have managed to find the plugin HTTPMail to add to Apple Mail in enable the use of my hotmail account in this software. Strangely, though, I cannot see any emails (i.e. it has not synchronised any of my folders/mails), I cannot receive any, BUT I have tried sending one and it actually worked. Would there be a step that I missed? I am on Leopard version 10.5.6., Mail version 3.5.
I have a btconnect.com email account. Sending emails using the apple mail system is is fine, no issues, easy to set p snd it works, but I cannot receive. I have tried all sorts of different settings in the preferences, and I am sure the use names and passwords I am using are correct.Â
For some reason I can receive but not send email. I have called my email provider who says everything is fine on there end and I have gone and checked to make sure all is ok under my account but still not working. I thought about deleting the account and reinstalling. This problem is only on my MacBook. Email still working ok on the iPad.
I am not able to receive my emails, but I am able to send? Comcast said all my settings were correct and I am able to view my email if I go and log into my comcast acct.?
I can't send or receive new email. June 6th is the last time I received email and I can't get mail online. I have gone through all the trouble shooting and all the information is correct, however, it says my server name with (offline) in parenthesis and I can't edit that.
I recently bought a Mac book Pro and I was starting to set up my Hotmail e-mail on my mail app. But when I set the e-mail on the app I did not receive any message although I could send messages out. I had a mac air and when I set up the e-mail, I received mail with no problem. Why am I not receiving mails on my Mac Pro?
I just ran into a problem. On my mac account I can send email but not receive email. I have tried all he normal stuff like permisions repair rebooting software updates but so far nothing has worked.Â
Sometimes I can send mail and sometimes I cant. When I can't I sometimes get the 'problem with outgoing server address' message, but the address is correct. Sometimes test messages sent by me to me go into the Important mailbox but not into the Inbox.Messages that have failed send end up copied several times in a folder called Bin.
I cannot send mail. This has been an occasional problem. I'd send and a pop-up would offer me choice: Cancel, ~Trash, or Save as Draft. I'd save and successfully send as a draft. The last few days I've had to the saved draft and send in Eudora. Today I spent some time on this. At first it looked all right in Mail/Preferences/Accounts, smtp.west.cox.net.user name--then it persistently included (Offline), but Mail menu bar/ Window showed Take All Accounts Online dimmed and Take All Accounts Offline as the active option. At this time I could receive but not send mail. I have edited the smtp server list a number of times. No show of offline there. When I'm done (Offline) again pops up on theOutgoing Mail Server (SMTP). I deleted the account and recreated it and could not send. The (Offline) did not appear after the smtp.cox.net.user name. Early 2006 iMac, OS 10.6.8  The settings are OK, the same as in Eudora.
I have a new MacBook Pro. Everywhere I go, I can send and receive emails with no problems using the Mail program. However, when I am at school, I connect to their wireless network. I receive all the emails from my Mobile-Me and Gmail accounts, but cannot send any emails out. When I connect to a different network off campus, it send out the emails that were in the queue right away.
My outgoing servers at smtp.me.com, and smtp.gmail.com. I am running Snow Leopard and the help desk at the university doesn't really deal with Macs.
I can send a message from mobile me/icloud account but am not receiving get error message that mail.mac.com on port 993 timed out also get error message password not correct on iphone
im new to this Mac game and spent a couple of days doing my research going through all the forums trying to enable mail on my macbook using my hotmail account. When using Pop i could recieve but couldnt send and now im using http plug in and can send but cannot recieve i use hotmail.co.uk as .com in my email address. I would really appreciate if somebody could help me out i know if i join google problem solved but had my hotmail account for a long time and been ex RAF its the easiest way to get friends from my past getting in touch.
I cant receive or send mail and I found out it is also keep retrieving maills like " recovered mail folder" ...I have deleted 80GB of recovered mails..
I have a imac g5 desktop and I don't know how to use the email. I won't let me send or receive email. How do I delete the email account if I didn't set it up right?
Can't send or receive e-mail on my iMac through Comcast for about 2 months now. Same problem with all users set up in the computer. Can connect ok to the internet, but can't access [url]..unless I reset Safari, then can only access once. Tried setting up new mail account, but get error message that it can't connect to server mail.comcast.net. Comcast blames it on last apple software update. I don't think that's the problem. Tried changing ports from 995 to 587 and 465 with no luck. Uncheck SSL box, no luck. Reset cable modem box, got incoming mail once, then no more. Outgoing mail still would not send.
am unable to send receive email into my me.com account on my macbook, I clear the messages from trash and deleted messages and they keep returning and filling my icloud storage limit.
I have Mac OS X Snow Leopard Version 10.6.8. Can't receive nor send email. I have two email addresses using ATT. One address works, the other doesn't. The bad address is behaving weirdly: In Mail, in the "On My Mac" folder labeled "Recovered Messages," the contents refer to one email sent with a PDF file (19.7 MB). This email keeps cloning itself, and I keep deleting them. I resorted to deleting the PDF file from my computer. No luck. I recently changed my email addresses from AOL addresses to ATT (powered by Yahoo) addresses, in case this has anything to do with it. Have shut down computer and modem twice with no luck. The Mail Activity window is wild with activity, none of which I understand.
