I set up Google apps email with my Mac Mail client. It worked fine until I tried to send email from within the client. I couldn’t find too much info about it online, and went a couple of months sending (annoyingly) from the gmail web interface. This was annoying, so thought I’d finally go about fixing it once and for all.<\/p>\n

Here’s what worked for me<\/strong><\/p>\n

So to reiterate my specific case, I could<\/em> receive email, but couldn’t<\/em> send it. Here’s something to try:<\/p>\n

1) Find the “edit SMTP server list” options panel:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2) Make sure that your User Name and password fields are correct, that “Use default ports (25, 465, 587) is checked, and that you’re using SSL.<\/p>\n

My problem was the for some reason Mac Mail had decided to change the SMTP server user name to just “joe” instead of “joe@mydomain”.<\/p>\n
