  Issues concerning   email sending  are unfortunately pretty common, either in the daily communications or when it comes to newsletters and bulk messages. So, why sometimes your mail client is  not sending emails ? Maybe it keeps on receiving them, but the outgoing emails are not sent at all. What is happening? Provided that you’re correctly connected to the internet (yes, it happens…) the causes are probably related to  your SMTP server  – the machine that takes care to deliver your outcoming messages. In fact, the normal servers associated to a common email provider (like Gmail or Hotmail) can run into several problems as they are not monitored: the best choice to avoid them all is to rely on a  professional outgoing server  like  turboSMTP . That said, here are the most frequent “email not sending” issues, and how to troubleshoot them: The email authentication failed . If you’re using an SMTP authentication like SSL, check again your user...

SMTP   and   POP   are the protocols on which the process of  email delivery   and   email pick-up   is based. They interact at the beginning and the end of the “journey” of a message, defining how to dispatch and deliver it (from your   outgoing SMTP server   to the recipient’s one) and how to retrieve it (from the   incoming server   to the actual recipient’s inbox). Basically, you can send an email thanks to the “mailman protocol” SMTP and you can download it on your computer thanks to POP. From a practical point of view, defining SMTP and POP (or POP3) information is essential when it comes to  set up a mail client  like Mozilla Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Microsoft Outlook and ensure the normal process of sending and receiving messages. Of course, every email provider has its own  SMTP and POP parametres ; and it can be a bit tricky to find out the right addresses. That’s why we made up a list the most common ones...

SMTP   and   POP3   are two of the most important technical aspects of the whole process of email dispatch and delivery. To put it simply, SMTP (acronym for   Simple Mail Transfer Protocol ) handles the delivery, while POP (acronym for   Post Office Protocol ) takes care of the email retrieval and download.(Another very popular protocol that you can use in place of POP is   IMAP   – that is, Internet Message Access Protocol). The name  POP3  is simply referred to the protocol’s latest version, officially released in 1996. In 2003 there’s been an informal proposal for a new specification, POP4: but no news has come since that day. So the normal journey of an email is more or less like the journey of a paper mail through different post offices: you send a message using a client (Apple Mail, Mozilla Thunderbird, etc.), it connects with a server via  SMTP protocol  and delivers the email: finally, the recipient’s client uses POP3 or IMA...
