Duplicating SMTP settings in Mail

You can use the same SMTP server, but not the same username and password if they are all different.

If you use the same ISP and server address, e.g., smtp.myisp.com, then you can duplicate that. But if the usernames are unique email addresses then your cannot duplicate those for each account.

You can try replicating one account fully, then edit the other accounts to change the relevant username, password, account name, and authentication (if required.)

It's possible although I've never tried it myself, so I wouldn't attempt to provide instructions. It would probably take more time than just doing it the normal way.

Inasmuch as only one thing remains the same for each account, the SMTP server address, it's not that hard to re-enter it three more times as you configure each individual account.

Dear Kappy,

I have a similar problem. I was getting too much spam and created a new email account at GoDaddy. I have done this before but now when I try to set up the pop account the outgoing server works but the smtp will not work. I copied the exact setting I use for the first account. Tried taking everything offline and back, repaired permissions and now at wits end. I need your expertise.

The outgoing seriver is the SMTP server, your post does not make sense, can you send or receive mail?

Ok, let me be exact. I use GoDaddy as my ISP I have several email account created there. I have one set up on my apple mail and works fine. (ericn@love-usa.net). I opened a new account with the exact settings (enalven@love-usa.net) only the name different and passwords are different. All the same settings, SSL ports etc. One works the other not. OMG now my comcast.net account is also timing out!

You didn't answer my question.

I can receive mail. I can send out from one account not the others.

Get the correct settings from GoDaddy and enter them, test each account as you enter it.
