    Hey peeps,

    Anyone know what is going on with my Apple Mail?

    Since Tuesday I wasn't able to reply to any e-mails and it keeps asking me to either retry the server or use a different server. Problem is that I've tried two different servers and am still unable to send.

    I used the connection doctor and it tells me its able to login to the servers. I can receive e-mails but apparently I can't send.

    I've checked with both ISPs and nothing has changed.

    What is going on and what can I do to fix this problem?

    Thanks all!!

    Go into the settings and retype your email password. This happened to me and all I did was retype my google email password and it works fine now.

    Go to Mail Preferences and check your outgoing mail server settings. What type of email is this happening (Hotmail, gmail, iCloud/mobileMe)?

    Also in Mail, Window, Connection Doctor, make sure you're getting all green lights.

    Ok, I'm using GoDaddy and BluHost for my e-mail servers.

    I did use the connection doctor and it keeps giving me green lights-no problems.

    I've been getting this error:

    And I thought I solved it by changing the settings around and such (worked for about 2 days) but now the problem is back.

    I really hate this its problematic on a level I haven't seen before. Kinda like the Lion issue (but I digress since this hopefully is a lot easier to troubleshoot).

    Thanks again peeps!!

    shouldnt you have smtp.bpmhawaii.com as your outgoing server?

    You'll need to provide a bit more info, because there is very little to go on, here.

    Did you assign each server to its respective mail account, and only that mail account? Some SMTP servers will refuse to send mail from addresses not associated with their own domains, for instance.

    I ran the connection doctor and left it open while I tried to send an e-mail.

    This is what read when I tried to send it with no success:

    READ Sep 28 11:51:13.119 [kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelNone] -- host:mail.bpmhawaii.com -- port:25 -- socket:0x119734780 -- thread:0x11973b3f0
    250 OK

    WROTE Sep 28 11:51:13.140 [kCFStreamSocketSecurityLevelNone] -- host:mail.bpmhawaii.com -- port:25 -- socket:0x119734780 -- thread:0x11973b3f0
    RCPT TO:<buyfromchristy@yahoo.com>

    QUIT

    So what does this mean?

    The email server is saying you are not authorised to send mail from it.

    either because you are not on its network, or because you haven't authenticated. I'd guess the latter, since there appears to be no authentication handshaking going on.

    You should check in SMTP server settings whether your mail client is using authentication when sending messages.

    I did, that was working until the problems, then I went to the ISPs websites to double check the setttings and changed them then it was fine for a couple days.

    :(

    ----------
    There are two separate servers that I'm using, one is for regular e-mail and one for my business.

    I checked Blue Host and GoDaddy settings the first time, changed them and they worked for a couple days and now its again giving me problems. I've been using the "Webmail" access and I tell ya, its a pain reading it in Mail and having to login to the Webmail interface--too many extra steps.
