Help with Apple Mail

Okay, I have my Apple Mail linked to my Yahoo account, and it's been that way since April with no problems until recently.
I moved into my college dorm on Saturday, and last night I realized that I've only been getting emails on my iPhone from Yahoo. What's more is that I can not send emails from my Apple Mail. And when I sent it from the Yahoo website, it took about ten minutes for it to get to my phone, and then it finally showed up on the Yahoo website after being read on my phone.
If anyone can help me with this, I'd be extremely greatful because I appreciate the convenience of the Apple Mail. If it's any help, my Yahoo account won't even access Outlook either.
I tried deactivating it on my iPhone, but it still wasn't popping up on the Apple Mail.
Here's what the side bar looks like (pictured below), and when I click the "!," it says
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “Yahoo” or try again.
The server returned the error: The connection to the server “imap.mail.yahoo.com” on port 993 timed out.
And if I take all accounts online, I get this
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “Yahoo” or try again.
The server returned the error: The connection to the server “imap.mail.yahoo.com” on port 993 timed out.
So if anyone can help me fix this, it'd be a huge relief and I really appreciate it. =)

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Help with apple mail signatures please?

    Hello,
    I've recently purchased a MacBook Pro - running LION.
    I am trying to arrange my signatures in apple mail for my business email address and keep coming up against the following:
    Everything is fine with the font's etc, it's when I come to placing small icons of the various social media platforms we have for the business and link them to their various URL's. What happens is it places a blue underline between each icon on my signature which looks really naff and also underlines all the "legal" nonsense at the bottom of my email signature (which is all just normal fonts) - which makes it look even naffer!!!!
    Does anyone know how I can keep the icons in place with their links to the URL's without having these stuid blue underlines and also how to get rid of the underlines on the legal notes at the bottom please?

    You need to assign a link to your button.
    If you want to link to another page in your site - e.g. a
    contact mailform or something - just click on the contact button
    image in DW and browse to the required page in the Link field of
    the property inspector.
    OR.. if you want to open an email client with a new message
    to tan email address - click on the contact button image and type a
    "mailto:" in the Link field of the property inspector... e.g.
    mailto:[email protected]
    Hope this helps.

  • Help setting up BTinternet email with Apple Mail

    Hello everyone,
    I need help setting up a btinternet email account with Apple's Mail sofware. I am setting it up on behalf of my aunt and uncles new macbook pro so I hope i get some solutions quick because Im leaving their place by the end of the weekend and I would love to have their email setup and teach them how to use it. 
    They have 2 btinternet email accounts, the first one they use alot as its their main email account which is currently setup on MS Outlook on their old computer. The secound one they use rarely and its not setup on MS Outlook. 
    Heres the problem, when I setup their main email account with apple mail, I have no problem creating the account however once created the inbox is empty - it does not load previous emails. It can send emails fine, if i send an email to the account using my personal email it will receive it but when I switch off the computer and switch it back on the mail box is empty. So I checked the email account by going to yahoo.co.uk and signing in - again even on the web page the mail box is empty.
    I then setup the second btinternet  email account on Apple Mail shockingly this works perfectly all the old emails got loaded up in mail. So how do I do this for the main account, I know the difference is Outlook mail but I rather not delete that because if it doesnt work then they would lose all their old emails.
    Please help
    Thanks in advance
    PS: ive setup my hotmail and yahoo accounts and they all work fine by the way

    Please guys give me something or any random ideas u may have. im running out of time.

  • Gmail suddenly not working with Apple Mail

    My gmail suddenly is not working with Apple Mail.
    It said my username or password is wrong, but it was okay this morning.
    Nevertheless, I deleted my gmail account, and re-setup it using Internet Accounts from System Preference.
    However, I got the beow message:
    There was a problem setting up the Mail account. An unknown error occurred.
    I am sure my username and password are correct because I just login it using Safari.
    Does anyone know what the cause is?
    Please help~~~

    Gmail not syncing in mac mail is a problem that is also in snow leopard since the new year.
    OSX 10.6.8  is the highest OS that will run on an Intel Core 2 Duo.  Do not try to install Mavericks on this machine! I will install, but turns it into a dinosaur and many programs will no longer run.
    I had an issue with Mac Mail not syncing with imap.gmail.com. and Safari not being able to find apple.com.
    This was resolved by working with an upper level tech support member for several hours deleating particular system library files, uninstalling most addons, reseting system network settings and a whole lot more! (too much to name here)
    Thank you Apple Tech Support.

  • We love apple email, but it does not play wall with other venders when you want to use your own domain (lags, disconnections, etc.)?   What vendor should we use to make it push and work well?  We want to stay with Apple Mail.

    Help, our AppleMail does not play well with other Vendord to use our own domain.   iCloud mail works great, but so far others we have tried lag, disconnec, etc. not nearly as good as icloud mail.   Should we try exchange or office 365 plans with Apple Mail/  a lot more expensive?

    Microsoft Exchange is the best business solution, Office 365 will give a hosted version that works well, as you noted it is not the cheapest. You should also look at Zimbra, an excellent service.

  • Use of SSL with Apple Mail 3.4 on FIOS

    I can use SSL with email to and from comcast.net, me.com. and gmail.com, but not to and from verizon.net, using FIOS. I have been using FIOS since August on my Mac PPC G5 and OS 10.5.7. Of the threads I have checked, the consensus seems to be that SSL will not work with Apple Mail. However, when I log in via my browsers, the connection is secured via SSL. Anybody out there know if one can use SSL with Apple Mail via verizon's servers? If so, what are the port settings?

    Sad, but true.

    ^^
    Comon Verizon, other ISPs have had e-mail over SSL for years. Please, get with the program.

  • Unexplained incompatibility with Apple Mail / pop services

    I am a technician that supports numerous clients using Apple Mail.
    I am increasingly running into compatibility problems with Apple Mail.
    Certain pop accounts will not download at all, for instance 123-reg.co.uk (pophost.123-reg.co.uk).
    The app seems to look for mail but doesn't see anything there, despite there being mail to download.
    I have also had problems with pop.dsl.pipex.com. My only alternative at present is to use Entourage and I certainly don't want to recommend MS products to our customers.
    Can someone please help, this defies regular troubleshooting.

    However, bearing in mind that Entourage works fine,
    it would imply that the problem is Apple Mail rather
    than numerous different mail servers.
    Even if the problem is something with Mail, probably only someone actually using these servers you mention is going to be able to find out, working with the people who run them, what is going wrong.
    Have you told the mail server operators/support staff about your problems and have they given any response?
    Have you tried Thunderbird, which is a popular non-MS alternative to Mail?
    Have you seen any other reports in this forum about other users having similar problems?
    Surely you
    guys should be investigating this as a point of
    concern for Apple?
    You are just talking to other users like yourself in these forums, not to Apple.

  • I need help exporting Apple Mail messages to Outlook for MAC 2011

    Good morning,
    I need help exporting Apple Mail messages to Outlook for MAC 2011. Please....

    It is possible to do this without external tools, but it is a tremendous faff. See
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macoutlook/import-ema il-from-mail-to-outlook-2011/5e858173-e1f4-4adc-99d7-253cc467169d?page=2 for details.
    The easiest way, however, is to use Mail Exporter Pro https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mail-exporter-pro/id675131616?mt=12 which will convert the email for you from one format to the other, and comes with an excellent manual.
    A third possibility is to connect Apple Mail to an email account via IMAP (this doesn’t have to be your usual account, you can just create a Gmail account for the purpose) . Copy all the messages into it and they will be uploaded. Then connect Outlook 2011 to the same account, via IMAP again, and let the messages download, then copy them to wherever you want to keep them and disconnect from that account. This is slow but preserves the attributes of your email (e.g. read/unead) better than any other method.

  • What is the best mail account to use with Apple Mail?

    Hi All, I am a recent convert to Mac from a PC and I am on a sharp learning curve. At present I am trying to use mail on Leapord. I have a Googlemail account which I have tried linking to Apple mail but I seem to get the same issue many others have with send e-mails. What is more, googlmail's All Mail facility is doing my nut in at the moment.
    Therefore I was wondering what is the best mail account to use with Apple Mail? I only have a Mackbook and an i-pod nano so subscribing to mobile me at £58/yr just to get the @mac.com account (which I assume would be perfect) seems a little extreme for me.
    Are their any other account that work correctly and don't have this All Mail option.
    Thanking you in advance.

    Hi,
    I have 2 issues.
    1) I have mail 3.6 and when I set up the mail account via IMAP and STMP I recieve mails ok, but I can not send them. If I do I get the following window pop up.
    "can not send message using smtp.googlemail.com server" it tells me my address was rejected by the server.
    2) I have 2500 e-mails in my All Mails folder on googlemail. Nearly all of these I delete from my inbox years ago (my bad mailbox management). Google seems to store all my mails. I want to delete these permentaly as they also get downloaded into Apple Mail.
    Hope you can help.

  • Problems with Apple Mail and Gmail

    Hiya
    I'm keen to integrate my Gmail Account with Apple Mail via POP3, however having followed the instructions given by Google - it doesn't seem to work correctly?
    I would appreciate if someone would kindly help me. I look forward to hearing from someone.
    Many thanks,

    Hi,
    I want to setup gmail as the default email.I've tried almost everything..google notifier, don't like to have gmail inbox in my mac apps inbox ( I could do that successfuly ).I hate it actually that I have to use entourage to send photos first to my gmail and then forward to friends.There is nothing wrong with mac mail or entourage but I just love my gmail...help please!
    Apple needs to fix two things to make their mail more popular ( infact the features are great especially with new iLife'08 ) : one , mac mail should be free like all major email services ( I'll be happy with 4GB free space rather than 10GB which they are offering now with subscription ) and second they should create userfriendly environment to use any email ids as default.
    Thx

  • Challenges with Apple Mail auto-complete

    Hi all,
    I'm seeking advice regarding some challenges with Apple Mail auto-complete email addresses for a friend's AOL mail IMAP account. Main issue: in Apple Mail, recently contacted email addresses are not appearing via auto-complete. As such, I'm doing some research for him and have some questions:
    - Any resources on how email contacts are managed in Apple Mail?
    - Any resources on how email contacts are managed in Apple Contacts? What's the difference? I'm not 100% clear how they are linked.
    - Seeking alternative to Apple Mail for someone who is legally blind. Are there some alternatives with a simpler interface and possibly better integration with VoiceOver? Just curious
    Any help is appreciated.
    Mac Mini (late 2012)
    Mac OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)
    Apple Mail v 6.6
    Apple Contacts v7.1

    1)  Reindex Mail
    Go to your User's Library folder. (if you don't know how to find, see this link.)
    http://www.needhelp4mac.com/2013/11/how-to-enable-users-library-folder/
    Scroll to Mail folder.
    Select the V2 > MailData folder.
    Delete any files in MailData with envelope in the name. (should be 3)
    When you open Mail it will re-index your files.
    2)  Search is based off Spotlight cache files.
    HOW TO RE-INDEX YOUR SPOTLIGHT CACHE FILES
    From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
    *  Click Spotlight.
    *  Click the Privacy tab.
    *  Drag your drive to the list. Wait a couple of minutes.
    *  Remove the item you added.
    *  Spotlight will re-index the contents of the item you initially dragged to the list.
    Contacts in Mail
    Under Window in the Menu bar, select Previous Recipients List. If the person is in your Contacts, there will be an icon next to the email address. You can add entries to contacts or remove from the list. For example your friend got a new email address but autofil wants to use an old email address. Remove the old entry.
    While Mail and Contacts are two separate applications they are tightly integrated.
    I'm sorry but I have no other suggestions for a better email client.
    Download and run the Mountain Lion combo to refresh your system files.

  • Gmail account IMAPed with Apple Mail. Apple Mail Inbox now empty! Where would the messages go?!?

    I just synced up (IMAP) my Gmail account with Apple Mail. My apple mail inbox is now empty! Where would the messages go?!?

    There is a better forum for issues with iCloud.
    Apple has a couple tech note articles to help with email, and with gmail as well.
    Try there.
    This is just WORKSTATION forum.
