[QUOTE="MBP17•David, post: 1588795, member: 320225"] Lets take it one step at a time, and maybe we can solve this problem ... You need to correct erroneous entry for your incoming mail server, as pointed by [URL="http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/members/chscag.html"]chscag[/URL] above: [IMG]http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/ag317/macforums-david/ScreenShot2014-06-22at081707_zpsbf2e3f13.png~original[/IMG] 1. Select [B]smtp[/B] part of the address and type [B]pop[/B] You have no outgoing mail server selected, so you need to rectify that: 2. Click on the arrows, as shown in above picture, you'll be presented with this (you won't have as many servers, if any, so don't worry): [IMG]http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/ag317/macforums-david/ScreenShot2014-06-22at083035_zps3427bf65.png~original[/IMG] 1. Make note which, if any, server is ticked, and 2. Click on Edit SMTP Server List You will see this (again, ignore the fact that I have quite a few entries there, you might not have any): [IMG]http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/ag317/macforums-david/ScreenShot2014-06-22at083115_zpsafb05884.png~original[/IMG] If your correct server smtp.gmail.com is selected (point 1), then 2. Set the port and authentication, as advised by Google (I'm afraid I don't use it, so wouldn't know) If you don't have your smtp server listed, then do this: [IMG]http://i1371.photobucket.com/albums/ag317/macforums-david/ScreenShot2014-06-22at090708_zpsf8d0774b.png~original[/IMG] 1. Click on + to add a server 2. Either enter it where it says 'Double-click to enter', or 3. Enter the name as shown in server name field Now you can go back to previous image and set the port and SSL, if any. Once you're back to account setting screen (your own screenshot at the top), don't forget to: 3. Tick the box to only use this smtp server with your gmail account. I've omitted some obvious steps, like clicking OK to confirm changes made, etc ... [/QUOTE]
