I cannot send emails with my iCloud email address in Outlook for Mac 2011 and get error message 5.7.8. I have used this iClound email address for months without a problem and for the last 5 days it will not work. I have tried all of the mail settings suggested my the support posts. Does anyone have another solution?
MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), iOS 6.1.2
Please post the settings you are using.
I have tried several--
imap.mail.mac
smtp.mac.com
smtp.mail.me.com
And, others. But, none of them avoid error messages.
I can recieve emails and my calendar, contacts etc. in Outlook for Mac 2011 seem to work fine. But, I cannot send emails from Outlook using my iCloud email.
Thanks
I have the same, bizarre problem, started when that issue happened a couple of weeks ago with iCloud passwords and hasn't worked since, i am wondering is a certificate has become corrupt?
I even tried rebuilding the dataase with a different name

All of the settings please, ports, SSL, servers
In my case SMTP is as follows: (all as per the apple web site):
smtp.mail.me.com
Port 587, override default port, use SSL to connect, use incoming server settings.
Noting else set except encryption which seems to be set to AES-256, outgoing messages are not encrypted.
Are you using your email address in full for the username?
I have tried it both ways and I still get the error messages. Other thoughts?
Nothing that's not obvious, rebooting should be tried (if it hasn't) but your settings look correct.
Set it up in Mac Mail, does it work there?
Yes...I have rebooted. MacMail was not working earlier but it seems to work now.
Other suggestions?
Thanks.
If Mac Mail is working you now know that the settings in use are working, so it's Outlook that needs attention. Pull the account, restart and put it back in Outlook.
Agreed--I have done many times and I stll get the errors and mail will not go out.
Other ideas?
Not right now unfortunately, if one hits me I will post again 😟
I have done a similar set of things and no results.
This is really odd, Mac Mail works other emasil clients work, just not Outlook.
The only event I can tie it back to is the outage a couple of weeks ago when AppleID's weren't working for a perdion of time. I ended up having to reset mine.
Is it feasible a local certificate got corrupted at the same or, oddly, that the SMTP servers don't have the updated password?
What's odd is that I no matter how much i Google, i can't find anyone else who has this problem, other than here?
All I know from my own experience is that Outlook is awful (I keep a copy purely for testing purposes) no support for most of iCloud's services and erratic performnce on Mail (the only 'supported' service). I have had similar issues when testing sometimes resolved, someties not. Fortunately I do not ever find myself in the position of having to use Outlook.
Try changing smtp to port 25 ssl off, post back
I too am having this same problem, which started the middle of last week. I can receive and send e-mail from my mac(me).com account on my iPad and iPhone, but not from my laptop or desktop. My Exchange e-mail account continues to work just fine in Outlook. I have tried all of the suggestions listed in this thread, including the last one about changing the smtp port to 25 and turning SSL off. This last change returned the error message, "Authentication failed because Outlook doesn't support any of the available authentication methods."
