Can I setup Mail app to access Yahoo mail via IMAP?

Can I setup Mail app to access Yahoo mail via IMAP? I think that my iPhone is doing this, but what about the Apple Mail app on my Mac? I don't like the fact that the Mac downloads the e-mail messages and removes them from the server, therefore making them inaccessible from Yahoo's online mail or my iPhone.
I'd like to get to work just like my Mobile Me e-mail... Any thoughts?

There is an option in the 'Advanced' section of the account setup to delete the messages from the server after a specified period rather than immediately on download; you could leave them for a week or whatever, then they will still be there when the iPhone accesses them.

  • Why am I getting an error message,"windows can not find(my Yahoo mail launch address)"when accessing Yahoo mail site?

    Using WindowsXP, and e-mail via Yahoo,browser is Firefox 4.0.I get the following error message when accessing yahoo mail site:"http://us.f831.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?action=welcome&yy=1782408664&.rand=0qrsdp1o...Windows can not find(the above address is inserted here).make sure you typed the name correctly,and try again". After this message is displayed on my desktop it begins to fade,and the inbox of my yahoo mail is then displayed..I am able to work all functions of the mail without problems.( I might add at this point that i access the mail program via a desktop icon).When I close out of the program the error message box with the error described above is displayed again on my desktop.I must click on the "X" to remove it.I can access my yahoo mail via Internet Explorer with no problem,as well as accessing via my yahoo home page.

    Here's an image of the ERROR Message. I'm not sure how this forum works -- if this image is an attachment or if it shows up in the body of this reply.

  • After Mac OS X 10.6.3 upgrade can't access Yahoo mail and repeatedly get message ""Sorry, we are over capacity. Please wait a moment and try again." Help, please,

    After Mac OS X 10.6.3 upgrade can't access Yahoo mail and repeatedly get message ""Sorry, we are over capacity. Please wait a moment and try again." Help, please.

    Did you run all the software updates after the 10.6.3 update, especially this one which will bring you up to 10.6.8.
    Mac OSX 10.6.8 V1.1 Combo update
    Run software update, starting with the one above.
    Then call your provider and ask them what is going on. They have probably changed POP to IMAP, 10.6.8 supports IMAP

  • Downloaded Firefox 4.0, get server error 404 & can't access Yahoo mail. It opens with Explorer & on desktop with Mozilla 3

    Downloaded Firefox 4.0, to Dell Lat D630 on 4/9/11
    Get server error 404 & can't access Yahoo mail.
    It opens with Explorer & on networked desktop with Mozilla 3.6
    tried all fixes suggested by Support @ Customer Service
    No resolution to the access problem today 4/21/11. Do I reinstall 3.6 & delete 4.0? I understand this access problem is common to 4.0 users.

    I did some additional testing through Proxy 4. All web sites and web pages including secure sites that I tried accessing over the past couple of days all appear to work fine with the exception of the forementioned sites. Access to these specific web pages (which I cannot currently access) are part of our day-to-day business requirements, and therefore will prevent me from using Proxy version 4.0 as our production proxy unless I can figure out why these web pages won't load, and how to fix the problem.
    As an experiment, I tried to access these web pages through Proxy 4 with Mozilla FireFox and Netscape 7. None of these web browsers (including Internet Explorer) will bring up these web pages when going through Proxy 4. But bypassing the proxy or going through our v3.6 proxy works fine for these web pages everytime, and with all browsers. This leads me to believe that this web page access problem is not a browser specific problem, but something in Proxy 4 isn't processing the request to display the page properly.
    As a reference, the web site in question is http://www.sunlife.ca. On the left hand side of the page go to "Sign In" then "Plan Members". Thats where the request hangs through Proxy 4 no matter which browser I use, including Netscape... but works perfectly fine with Proxy v3.6.
    Can someone who is running a version 4 Proxy also please try to access the SunLife Members login page and see if it works or fails for you?
    Thanks

  • Suddenly can't access Yahoo Mail in Apple Mail

  • How can I stop Yahoo mail from automatically loading my user id and password when I access Yahoo Mail through Firefox?

    When I access Yahoo Mail through Firefox, as soon as Yahoo mail opens, my userid and password have already been entered. I do not want this to happen since other people use this computer. How can I stop this? this does not happen when I access through Internet Explorer.

    It looks like your password is stored in the password manager. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/make-firefox-remember-usernames-and-passwords?s=remembering+passwords&as=s#w_viewing-and-deleting-passwords Viewing and Deleting passwords]. Moreover, your Firefox version (3.6.18) is outdated. Go to Help < Check for Updates.

  • Suddenly unable las 36 hrs to access yahoo mail server on iPad and iPhone. What is going on, how to fix?  Have tried resetting mail accounts to no avail.

    Unable to access yahoo mail server on iPad suddenly last 36 hrs.  Can anyone assist?

    Hold off on purchasing stuff. I got my problem solved going through Apple Support for free. I'll try to walk you through this but bear in mind I've only done it once with an Apple Tech Support manager on line.
    Basically you have to clear your keychain. Go to Finder Menu, Select Go, select utilities, select Keychain Access
    Once you are in keychain access you may have to enter a password to unlock the keychain
    Once unlocked, select preferences and then reset my keychain.
    This is where I am fuzzy on what we did but as I recall that was all that was necessary with respect to the keychain access.
    Save the changes
    Go to the mail program, delete your existing account
    Add a new account
    De-select the option to automatically set up your account (VERY IMPORTANT)
    Enter your email account info for @me.com
    On the incoming mail server page
    Enter the account type as IMAP
    Enter the account description as iCloud
    Enter the incoming mail server to imap.mail.me.com
    on the outgoing mail server page
    Enter the account description as iCloud
    Enter the outgoing mail server to smtp.mail.me.com
    Check use only this server
    And your problems SHOULD be solved
    If I were you, before messing with the Keychain stuff I'd try editing the incoming and outgoing server address in the mail program first to see if that's a shortcut.
    Good luck!

    I can't open the app store, safari the mail app, youtube app and the maps app. they try to open then close very quickly. what can I do?

    Try downloading another app - any free app - that seems to reset something and the apps may start working again. Try that first. If that doesnt work, try these steps
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Close all apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • HT5361 I am unable to start or select the MAIL app. No incoming mail and no outgoing mail. I do not even know how to get an answer without email. Can you help?

    I am unable to start or select the MAIL app. No incoming mail and no outgoing mail. I do not even know how to get an answer without email. Can you help?

    Thank you Carolyn, How helpless you can feel without this App!
    Going into the App Store as you suggest, I see 'thee updates available", the first says, 'X RESTART', the second says, 'Garage Band, an error has occurred" (in red), and the third 'Memory Clean, UPDATE'.
    Am I correct in thinking that OSX is the problem, because it is waiting for a restart?
    Kind regards,
