Can't send receive email from Yahoo account or send from .mac account
On 5/1, when launching Mail, it asked me to update to new settings or use old settings. I should have kept the old settings. Instead, I had to set up all of my email accounts again. Everything is working except receiving mail from my Yahoo account. Also, I can receive mail from my .mac account, but can't send from it. These accounts are working fine on my iPhone. Is there a way to restore old email settings? Anyone else having this problem?
Hi Jeffrey,
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
Is there a way to restore old email settings?
Only with a backup or Manually redoing it/them, which may or may not lose the mail you have.

When sending/receiving an iMessage (from gmail address) how can I then receive or access my iMessages on my actual gmail account/inbox?
Hi,
The Messages app can join 5 different services.
The "iChat Originals" that include AIM, Jabber and Yahoo (although they were added at different times to the app)
The Bonjour account that has been present for LAN based Mac to Mac chat and lastly the iMessages account in the Messages app that iChat has become.
Google email IDs can be used as a Jabber ID in Messages as Google run a Jabber server.
As the Google server does not follow conventional naming formatting it has it's own Add option in Messages.
Effectively all the services are separate.
Any email used as an Apple ID can be the iMessages account.
Of course this may be a Google one like you have that can also be used as Jabber/GoogleTalk ID or it may be an Apple issued ID (@mac.com @me.com or @icloud.com) that will also work as a Valid AIM Screen Name.
It may be that someone has their Yahoo email as their Apple ID.

I can send & receive email from my ipad but for some reason I can no longer do this from my i mac.It keeps telling me that the password is not valid with the imap server.I keep entering the password but it won't accept it.
Do you have one, two or more entries in the left colum of Mail.app for your mail server(s)? That is, do you have your Mail.app set up with either a btinternet entry, with a btyahoo entry, or both? Or more?
I'm guessing that you might have one account (btyahoo?) listed for incoming (IMAP server) mail, and with the outbound (SMTP server) mail is configured and named btinternet.
Based on what little I see posted, it looks like BT uses both btinternet and btyahoo, but I'm not exactly clear on how they have their stuff set up, and their web set gets helpful and tries to help configure my mail — I don't immediately see a single web page with the mail server set-up details. The BT email client set-up starts here. -

Why can i not receive email with my icloud account but I can send it out only
Hi Nortarian,
The article below will walk you through the troubleshooting steps for email on your iPad:
iOS: Unable to send or receive email
If you are unable to send or receive email, try the following steps:
Restart the iOS device.
Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage to ensure that the device has Internet access. If you're unable to load a webpage, try the Wi-Fi assistant.
Try an alternative Internet connection.
If your email is provided by your Internet provider, try connecting from the home network.
If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, try to disable Wi-Fi: Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
If not, try a different Wi-Fi network.
Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Delete the account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then add the email account again on the iOS device.
Hope this helps ....

I have BIS but can't surf, send/receive email, use apps
i have BB Curve 8520. My BIS was running smoothly (sending and receiving emails real time and surfing the net through BIS), until i noticed when i tried to reply to an email that came in, it won't send. i noticed that it's fluctuating. i was able to send the email after a few minutes... then a few minutes later, i received a replied email from my friend, and when i tried to send my reply, i wasn't able to. also, i can't surf using the browser with the "internet browser" as default. i tried using my wifi and then suddenly all my emails started coming in, all emails that were not able to go through hours ago. my big question was why do i need to turn on wifi just to receive emails. but since i had my BIS for 2 months now, i can send and receive emails and surf through BIS itself without turning on the wifi. also, i can't use any of my apps like facebook, twitter, yahoo messenger, etc. They used to work fine with BIS... but now, i have to turn on the wifi connection, so i could log in with them. aren't these supposed to be running through BIS only?
I have GPRS on top, not gprs. my carrier says i have active data plan/BIS. but under Services Status..it says Blackberry Internet Service: Connection: not connected...
so, i wiped out my BB and deleted all third party apps. when this was done, i received emails telling me "Your handheld has been registered with the wireless network" and even got "Activation Server" emails telling me that the emails that i have previously set up are now up and running. so i thought my BB is now ok.. i tried surfing, it was okay. after like about 5 minutes, it was down again. tried sending email but can't... i turned on the wifi and boom! the emails started coming in again.i have the Host Routing Tables and my Service Books in my BB. I have GPRS (not gprs) on top which means i have active BIS. i have registered my HRTs several times... and resending my service books... same thing...
the big mystery is when i turn on the wifi, the emails suddenly go through and i can send emails. i can open apps that used to only run on BIS. this is ok i guess, but i could never do any of these if i'm not connected to wifi.
my sister and i have the same BB... i removed my sim and inserted it to her BB and the BIS worked fine... i was able to surf and use apps.. but when i put my sim back on my phone, the problem still exists. i even used a different sim card that is also subscribed to BIS/data plan, and it still has the same problem... my guess is my carrier is right that my data plan is working ok and that my handheld itself has the problem...
i updated my OS, same problem.. wiped it out... used BBSAK, reinstalled OS... numerous battery pulls... same thing... i can receive the HRTs and service books, but after that can't do anything else like i used to... (send/receive emails, use apps like facebook, twitter, ym, etc., can't surf with internet browser - except when wifi is on everything else work fine even emails and apps)..
i would really appreciate your help guys.. thanks!Hi tarifiq and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!

-My carrier has not reported any data outage.
- I'm in an area where I've had RIM data services (for months now). It has always been working well. I've never really had any problems with my BIS until 4 days ago when it just suddenly stopped sending/receiving emails, surfing through internet browser, using facebook, twitter, ym apps, etc..
-the big mystery is when i turn on the wifi, the emails suddenly go through and i can send emails. i can open apps that used to only run on BIS. this is ok i guess, but i could never do any of these if i'm not connected to wifi.
-i've read somewhere that it may be some application error or something, so I've wiped out my BB thrice now, deleted all third party apps, everything is clean i guess, but still I end up with the same problem.
-i updated my OS, same problem.. wiped it out... used BBSAK, reinstalled OS... same thing...
can you help me out with this? i have tried battery pull, wipe out and OS reinstallation lots of times but same problem happens...Hi tarifiq and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!

Version 24.4.0 worked fine until yesterday (2014-04-06) running under windows 8.1 and suddenly it could no longer connetc to internet (sending/receiving email, updating, creating a new account,..). No change was done on my accounts configuration. Other applications connect correctly to internet. Some Windows 8.1 updates were automaticaly applied during the same period (??).
Any suggestion would be appreciate
RgdsThank you for your answer. Of course before posting I checked the differetn relmated topics..
As I explained nothing changed between the moment Thunderbird worked and the moment it stopped working. I checked the firewall (Norton intenet security) and the firewall of my router (Netgear). Nothing relates to Thunderbird.
I cans get my mail from another workqtation (ubuntu/evolution) with the same provider (same parameters). I just wonder if the last windows 8.1 updates could provoke this trouble...
For the moment I cannot get rid of this. -
I want to update iCloud account with new apple id but don't know password for old apple id. Plus can no longer receive email at old apple id. How can I delete the current iCloud account on my iPhone if the previously stated conditions exist?
If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Thunderbird config to send/receive email
I tried configuring Thunderbird to send/receive email from my new verizon fios account. Simple Pop3 - how hard can it be? Well, using the settings provided, I am unable to send or receive email. I called and talked to tech support and they said they don't support Thunderbird, but I could talk to 'premium' support since they have no support boundaries. Well, I don't think I should have to pay to get my email setup to a POP3 client.
Here's my current config:
Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0.0.23
Account:
Server Type: POP Mail Server
Server Name: incoming.yahoo.verizon.net
Port 110
User Name: myname
Security Settings: Use Secure Connection: never
Use secure authentication - not checked
SMTP Server
Server Name: outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net
Port: 25
User secure connection: no
When trying to send an email I get:
Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify...
When I try to get mail I get:
Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server incoming.yahoo.verizon.net responded: Error logging in. Please visit http://mail.yahoo.com
Any help would be appreciated.winsomesmile wrote:
That was the one thing the tech told me on the phone - to use verizon.yahoo.net for incoming and outgoing instead of verizon.net
Other than that, I'm not sure where else to check that that is correct.
If the agent told you to use the Yahoo servers, they were probably right. If you want to verify, you can log into your account at www.verizon.net and it should say that you have a Verizon with Yahoo account.
As for the settings:
1. Make sure the username and password that you have are the correct ones. Logging in to verizon.net will verify this.
2. Check your incoming server settings. They should look something like the following image. (Of course, where the example just says "username" your username should be filled in.)
3. Check your outgoing server settings. They should look something like the following image. (Of course, where the example just says "username" your username should be filled in.)
4. Make sure that the password you are entering is correct. I suggest typing it out in a notepad then using copy and paste to verify that it is correct, since it will appear as asterisks in Thunderbird. Once you have successfully sent and received a test message, you might consider checking the box for remembering your password, although this is less secure than typing it in every time.
Hope this helps! If you have any other questions, just let us know.

Why all of a sudden am I having difficulty sending Gmail emails? I get a send error. When I run diagnostics there is a SMTP and IMAP account for Gmail and I am not sure how to fix this.
Hi jodilynnf,
When using Connection Doctor to see what is could be causing the issue, look for the red dots to let you know what is wrong. Then all you have to do is correct that information. You can double click on the section that is giving you issue and it will take you there. Most issues could be just password being entered incorrectly.

My mac mail won't let me receive emails but will let me send them. How do i fix this ?
my mac mail won't let me receive emails but will let me send them. How do i fix this ?
I am intermittently having the same problem. I can send email, but once the Mail application is opened, it will only pull emails in from the server one time and then I have to "Force Quit" and restart the application to receive incoming mail again. I've tried restarting the computer. I've made sure I have all the system updates. I've checked for conflicts between applications and so far nothing fixes the problem. Once in a while, Mail starts functioning normally on its own, but in a few days it goes back to the same old problem. Has anyone figured out what if going on with this isse?
