Unable to send e-mail from iphoto 11

Still having the same problem. Can only send from my gmail account. I changed the ports, as earlier suggested, because they were different than in my shaw email account but still no luck. It first prompts me for my password, then an error message comes up -Check your Internet connection. If the connection is working properly, the email server may be down. Try sending your email again later.

You have to go into iphoto > preferences > Accounts and set up your email account. Some of them like hotmail require an outgoing server like "smtp.live.com" ; Port 587; username and password.

I just had this same problem too and realized I had changed my email password a few weeks ago after my yahoo account got jacked. I did what rodolfodsantos said up above and changed the passworkd in iphoto preferences under accounts and it worked immediately.

Spot on! I needed to enter the Outgoing Server/SMTP info which was not requested when I first linked iPhoto to an email account.

Scottie Pal,

Thank You for the solution. I was having the same trouble, followed your advice on changing the port and now I can finally email pictures through iPhoto 11. I used the port numbers that were under the advanced tabs in my mail preferences for each account.

Thank You!

i set up an account to email from iphoto, but when i select e-mail it brings up my gmail account. how do i revert back to emailing right from iphoto?

thanks!

The problem of sending from IPhoto seems to be cured by careful checking (provided all your email accounts work as they should).

1) Are the passwords exactly the same? I found one in my IPhoto account which had been entered with one number incorrect.Without deleting passwords and carefully rentering it looks as if all is well when it is not.

2) Are all the Ports the same ? Despite the fact that you can use several ports I found that whilst they all worked in email you must select the same one in Iphoto as you are using in email or nothing will send and you may well see a notice that the password is not recognised-it is in fact the port selection.

3) On Gmail it seems you must tick the secure socket box. At least I could not send on my Gmail account until I had. My main provider was OK without this box ticked. Very odd.

Provided all the other insruction on the IPhoto instructions are the same as email you should be able to send without trouble but there is one last tip passed to me which is worth knowing.

It seems that sometimes the TO box has blue lines waiting for instructions but will will remain blank and will not react to clicking on the mouse. If this is the case hit the alpa key to start the receipient list and a full list of names appears as per address list in mail. According to Apple this should not happen but it does!

Hope all this helps someone.

APPLE; What is the secret handshake to configure the "Outgoing mail server" in iPhoto 11?

It is obviously pulling info from the MacMail configuration. All emails work fine in MacMall. I have tried to reconfig to allow for finiky outgoing servers, a la: 25, 465, 587. as well as checked passwords on the server. Reset passwords to be sure. opened the old MobileMe prefs and re ran a phoney tst name to clear the cache.

We are getting this error:

Your email did not go through because the server did not reply.

Check your Internet connection. If the connection is working properly, the email server may be down. Try sending your email again later.

What Pref file needs to be deleted in order to use iPhoto for this pesky outgoing mail idea?

No apple here. Just users like yourself

The best solution IMHO is to simply set Mail as the email client in the iPhoto preferences and use it

do you know if you MUST have an "outgoing mail server" for the icloud email account within iPhoto 11? I set up an icloud email account which is working, but can't send photos from it and not sure how to answer this field in the accounts setup window.
