Inadvertently deleted SMTP Outgoing Mail Server address. Re-entered correct mail service provider's address and now have '(Offline)' tagged on server name. Can't SEND any emails. When I try, message will not send but goes into Outbox and sits. How can I get this SMTP address 'Online'? Help!
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
Well you must have entered and inforrect setting or typo. I suggest you go back to the server list and edit. Check each line and character very carefully for correct spelling of the server and punctuation and no spaces. Also check the same for user id and password.
If you don't find your error, paste the server name, and settings you have for port. Who is your mail provider also?
There is nothing wrong with his config. I added a new Yahoo account today in Mac Mail, using Apple's account setup wizard, and I can't send messages either. I tried other email clients as well, and the iPhone, and nothing works. This tells me that problem is on Yahoo's end.
Well then since there is nothing wrong with the config., call Yahoo and have them fix their problem.
Otherwise, post your email provider (att.net, sbc.net, yahoo.com, etc.), server and port setting you are using if you want someone to help.
pop.mail.yahoo.com
smtp.mail.yahoo.com
For whatever reason Yahoo blocked access to their mail servers from Apple Mail in the past couple of days. I deleted my Yahoo account in Apple Mail and tried to add it back. NO JOY.
Today, Yahoo has reopened their servers so that I could add my Yahoo account to Apple Mail again successfully. Even w the second app password.
The problem was at Yahoo. Apple Mail people were either blocked or knocked off from their Yahoo servers for a time. This may happen again as it has in the past. I hope it doesn't become a frequent happening.
