Help! My Mail can receive but nor send messages. I have a dot mac account. The outgoing mail server (SMTP) is set to smtp.mac.com, server port is 25, SSL is unchecked, and the Authentication is thru Password... I wonder what should I change.
I actually encounter problems sending emails when I am using free wifi in some coffee shops. Maybe it's ISP related nga.
Most ISPs will only allow you to send emails (via SMTP) if you're sending from an account within their network (e.g. you can only send from a PLDT DSL email account if you're using a PLDT DSL connection). That's the reason I prefer using Gmail with Apple's Mail, you can send email from any ISP. .Mac accounts should be like a Gmail account, you can send from any Internet connection. I'm just not sure if some ISPs can block that too. That's why it would help to know if macbeth and Bronski can send email when connected to other ISPs
Mine won't send nor receive mails since an hour ago. I think mail is down? No problem with Gmail POP and my ISPs POP mail accounts.
Hi Macbeth, in your outgoing mail server in the accounts setting of your Mail preferences, change the outgoing server to your ISP's setting. Some ISPs block port 25. That may be the case. Here's link to a list of ISPs.
