Yahoo account not working in mail

Hi,
I have a new mac book pro (new mac user also!). I cannot get the mail app to 'talk' to my yahoo account. My husbands works fine and we have exactly the same setup. His account works on his mac and on mine, my account works on neither!
I can get my mail no problem on my iphone and on safari on my mac.
Any help welcome.
Thanks

Does your husband have a Yahoo Plus account? If you have a free Yahoo account, typically (unless they've changed something recently) you can't actually use the account through a mail program like Mail or Outlook. Details from Yahoo are here: http://overview.mail.yahoo.com/enhancements/mailplus

Yahoo account not work after 1.1.3 update

HI there.
I just updated my iphone to the 1.1.3 firmware. Everything looks ok but mail (yahoo.ca) and youtube are not working now. Youtube asks me to conect to itunes that is connected to internet (wich i did) and mail just won't recognize my accout....It **** me of
any ideas?
see ya

Thank you for the information.
Try running "repair permissions" from Disc Utility,
and while you are there, see if discs you insert show
up in Disc Utility (they should, they will be greyed
out if they are not mounted in the Finder).
Did this and nothing shows up.
Check in SysPref/Hardware/CD'S&DVD's settings...
sometimes after an update it gets changed to "IGNORE"
inserted media.
Checked, nothing was changed to ignore.
Another thing to try is re-launching the Finder.
Did not change anything.
Beyond that, you can run the 10.4.3 Combo update over
your existing install.
I have not done this yet.
The drive does nothing after the drive door is closed with a disk inserted. Before the update to 10.4.3, typically the drive spins up after inserting a disk. Now no sound, no spinning, Nothing. The drive door opens and closes under keyboard or screen command so I know the drive is powered. I cannot start the machine from shut down from the drive. Capital C procedure does not work.
hanks for your feedback so far!

GoogleMail POP account not working with Mail

I am trying to setup my GoogleMail account in mail. Going through the tests, everything works correctly (POP and SMTP). However, I cannot receive any mail via POP...I can however send mail via SMTP. I deleted the GoogleMail setup and tried it again with the same result. If I go to my GoogleMail account directly in a browser, all the sent mail from Mail is going through.
What could be the problem?

Ah! If you were talking about messages sent to yourself, then this is a Gmail issue; Mail has no bearing on it. Gmail POP access doesn’t work as a normal POP mail server would. Here are some of its idiosyncrasies:
1. Messages downloaded by any conventional POP mail client are marked as downloaded at the server (but not as read on the web), and no longer available to either the same or any other POP mail client.
2. To make already downloaded Gmail messages available for POP access again, you must go to Gmail’s Settings > Forwarding and POP page, select Enable POP for all mail, and click Save Changes, which will cause everything (and I mean everything) still there to be downloaded again. Alternatively, if you only want to download the last 30 days of mail, you can configure Mail in “recent mode” as described in How should I use POP on mobile or multiple devices?.
3. Any Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server settings have absolutely no effect on the messages stored on Gmail’s server.
4. Messages created and sent using the web interface will be downloaded by your POP mail client as if they were incoming messages. You can set up a rule in Mail to automatically route those messages to the appropriate Sent mailbox (or to any other mailbox for that matter) if that's what you want. Although this may seem weird, it's good because it allows archiving all messages locally in Mail, regardless of how they were sent -- as long as you don't access the same Gmail account with more than one POP mail client, that is.
5. Messages created and sent using a POP mail client such as Mail are also treated as if they were incoming messages for POP purposes, just as in 4. What prevents them from being downloaded is that Gmail marks them as already downloaded immediately. They would, however, be downloaded if Gmail settings were changed as described in 2 above.
6. As a particular case of 5, messages sent to yourself will appear in your Inbox on the web, but cannot be downloaded by either the same or any other POP mail client.

Exchange account not working on mail

Hey guys,
I'm trying to set up mail to work with my exchange server.
It all works perfectly on various iPhones, but somehow I don't get it to work on my Mac OS X.
I got the latest version of Mac OS X. But anytime I try to connect, mail throws out an error that the Exchange Server wouldn't answer.
Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
Greetings

TS3899 Hotmail account not working in iPhone 5 mail app

At first I thought it was a COS, College of the Sequoias, as in the college I'm going to, Hotmail situation BUT it turns out it's a Hotmail in general situation because my other Hotmail account doesn't show my inbox or sent mail at all. I sent up my Hotmail account properly, go to it on the mail app, click on it and the inbox is empty. So is the sent box. Go to hotmail on the browser..there's all my mail! Just not in my Hotmail account in the mail app! I tried to set my Hotmail account on Jennifer's iPhone 4S.. No luck. Same thing happened when I tried on mum's iPad!
The strange thing is my COS hotmail account WAS set up on their BEFORE then iOS6 update just flawlessly. I get my iPhone 5 and decide to delete my email accounts from the iPad now that I have my phone. When hotmail decided to go all wonky I tried resynchronize my COS hotmail on the iPad again because I know it worked there. But I had updated the software since then. Thus it not working now!
My gmail and yahoo accounts are working flawlessly on my mail app however the Hotmail..not so much! I've been doing some research on the net..could the update be the problem?? If so, I can't wait for the iOS 7 software update!

Same here. I, too, have tried everything, including removing and re-adding the Hotmail account and SMTP servers, rebooting, you name it. Some folders seem to sync sometimes, but some do not ever. The main inbox does not sync at all. In addition, the problem seems to be strictly with Apple Mail on my iMac and MacBook Pro. The issue does not occur on my iPhone 6 or iPad Mini. I was very pleased with Apple Mail until now.

I can no longer send emails from my mac yahoo business account, but can send them directly from yahoo. just not from mac mail. I've been able to send emails perfectly fine until today. Help!

I can no longer send emails from my mac yahoo business account, but can send them directly from yahoo. just not from mac mail. I've been able to send emails perfectly fine until today. I've been on the phone with yahoo mail and they've verified that my account settings are correct and I can send email from yahoo. I can receive emails via Mac mail, but just can't send them. An error message appears that says:
"Sending the message content to the server failed." I can't send emails from my Mac desktop, iphone or ipad. Any suggestions! Help! I'm a Mac rookie and so frustrated! Thanks.

Please read and begin using Can receive email, but not send email. I had a similar issue with Comcast mail (could receive by not send) and found my answer in this letter. For me it took resetting the outgoing mail and telling the system to use a password when sending outgoing mail. If you need help with that please advise and I'll tell you where to look.

I use a yahoo account for my e-mail which worked fine until I changed my password a few weeks ago. I now keep getting a message up telling me to insert my password again. i know I'm putting in the right password but this driving me to distraction!

Yahoo email not working

hi.
My Yahoo email account has stopped working on my iPad. I have deleted the account and reinstalled it but still no joy. My email works fine on my Mac and iPhone ok.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Usually uninstalling and readding the info takes care of it.
It could just be a glitch with yahoo. Several people have short term issues with their yahoo mail not working.
are you trying to access it on the same wifi as usual? I had an issue where my yahoo will not work if i try to access it on various wifi hotspots and it has to do with the protocols on the access point.
I'd give it a few hours and see if it resolves itself.

HT2954 Yahoo email not working on MacBook Pro.

My Yahoo mail account on MacBook Pro (Lion) stopped working ("no response from imap server.") I deleted and tried to re-setup my email, and it still does not work. None of the other dialogue about this problem has helped.

If you have a free Yahoo account, access from a mail client is not supported, according to Yahoo. You need a paid account. A free account is accessible only through the webmail interface.

RSS not working in Mail after MobileMe instal

The title pretty much says it all "RSS not working in Mail after MobileMe instal" The names of the RSS feeds are still there but all have the triangle error message beside them.

you may have already tried this but in the mailbox menu at the top, try to take all accounts offline then take them all back online again. if that doesn't work you can always do a rebuild which is kind of a pain, but it usually does the trick.

How are you accessing Hotmail? Via your web browser? Are you using Apple Mail? Outlook?
The answer will be different depending on how you want to access Hotmail.
If you are using an email client (like Apple Mail, Outlook, Entourage, etc.)) then you need to set up a mail account in your email software.
The incoming Hotmail settings are these:
Incoming server: pop3.live.com
User name: Your full Hotmail email address (aka "me @ hotmail.com" or "me @ live.com")
Password: Your Hotmail password
POP port: 995
Use SSL to connect : yes
The outgoing Hotmail settings are:
Outgoing server: smtp.live.com
User name: Your full Hotmail email address
Password: Your Hotmail password
SMTP port: 587 (override the default port if necesssary)
Use SSL to connect : yes

Add to Address Book not working in mail.app

On all my computers : MacBook Air and Mac Mini, the Add to Address Book (command + Shift + Y) is not working in Mail.app.
It doesn't add the email and name in the Address Book (now called Contact).
Is this a broken link ?
Best. StG

Hey Saint-Georges -
I've got the same issue in the console. I didn't notice the keyboard shortcut not working but that's happening to me as well.
I've gone gone through and repaired the disk and disk permissions. Still no luck.
Hopefully someone has a fix.

Sound alerts not working in Mail and Ichat apps since upgrade to 10.4.9

I just noticed my Sound alets not working in Mail and Ichat apps since upgrade to 10.4.9.
I'm using soundsticks which is playing sounds thru quicktime, itunes, etc but my alert sounds for getting new emails and IM messages is not working. I get the quick "white flash" on the screen instead. I checked the prefs on both apps and it is set to give me the alert sound, I can even test it in the ichat pref when I change the new message alert sound it will play it thru my speakers but when I get a new message in either app it just gives me the white flash.
I'm read that it can be an issue of not having the balance in the system sound pref set the middle, so I checked that, restarted, all that but still no luck.
I really like the sound alert features because I can be in another part of my house, turn the sound way up and I'll know when one of my clients is trying to reach me but now I can't do that.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Brown.Recluse

Ok, weird, strange...did ONE more restart and now its working fine...who knows?
