Yahoo Mail Bug

I recently read the Macworld article on fixing the Yahoo Mail Bug when sending email with Mac Mail. I have a question since I have the exact problem he writes about.
I changed the settings like Yahoo asked me to do.
I double checked them after reading the article. I was able to easily find how to "enable SSL for my POP server and override the default POP port with port 465"
But I am not sure how to:
"Enable SSL for your SMTP server and select to override the default SMTP port with port 465."
Where do I find the SSL for the SMTP? I have already looked into the Mail > Preferences. There I find the POP server settings, but no SMTP. ???
I get my mail from att / yahoo....just can't send via my Mail app.
THANK you for any help.
Margie

Thank you very much for your quick and kind response. I appreciate it and have fixed the problem. I didn't see the Advanced options prior to your email for the SMTP ~ and you've helped me considerably. Thanks

  • Yahoo Mail bug with Apple mail?

    Hi,
    Im using Mail to send and receive my yahoo mail.
    Lately, my mail is taking approx 4 hours to be delivered when sent from apple mail.
    Ive read that there is a bug when sending to the yahoo servers.
    Has anyone experienced this?
    Is there a solution?
    Thanks!

    I'm having the same issue ever since updating to 10.5.2. Yahoo is delivering very slowly if at all. Indeed I've had more undelivered messages than delivered. Have deleted and re-created my Yahoo mailbox to no avail. Other solutions?

  • When logging in into yahoo mail after typing in password Firefox is adding something, login fails all the time. At yahoo mail Notepad does not work because it is impossible to close the list of items and they cover information, so I have to go to IE.

    When logging in into yahoo mail after typing in password Firefox is adding something, probably remembered password and login fails all the time. At yahoo mail Notepad does not work because it is impossible to close the list of items and they cover information, so I have to go to IE.

    Only when i go to a different browser (like IE) after i clear it , then all that shows up is the pages i visited in IE , that is what bugs me , why is IE browsing history sowing up in Firefox ??
    Basically , i can clear the history in Firefox , and then for a example , go to Craigslist , using IE7 (launching it from a complete different Icon , in other words at that time i never open Firefox) , then after closing out , or even leaving open as it does not seem to matter , i go into Firefox , and hit History , and there is every place i visited in IE7 , on my History in Firefox

  • Very high memory usage with Yahoo Mail

    After using Yahoo Mail for an hour or so my memory usage increases to a very high level.
    Just now, after reading and deleting about 50 e-mails (newsletters etc.) I noticed Firefox 17 running slowly and checked the memory usage in Windows Task Manager (I am using XP) and it was 1.2 Gb. My older laptop only has 2 Gb of RAM. Yahoo Mail was the only thing open at the time.
    I never notice this problem with Gmail which I mainly use. However I use Yahoo Mail for quite a few newsletters etc. that are less important and which I only check once a week or so.
    I found the following bug report about 3 years old which almost exactly describes my problem.
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=506771
    But this report involves a much earlier Firefox version, and at the end it seems to say that the problem was fixed. However it well describes my current issue with Firefox 17, especially the continual increase in memory while using the up/down arrow keys to scroll through Yahoo e-mails.
    Is this normal to have to shut down and reopen Firefox every hour or so to clean out the memory? For some reason I only notice this when using Yahoo Mail. After using many other sites and having multiple tabs open for several hours I rarely reach that kind of memory usage. About the highest I've seen with other sites after a couple of hours is 600 Kb which is roughly when I start notice slower response times.

  • With Yahoo mail, my IM and Facebook no longer connects, they show but do not work? Haw can this be fixed. I'm runing Ubuntu 10.04 LTS & FF 9.0.1

    For some reason, the new version of Yahoo mail that links with Facebook and Yahoo IM shows the connection, but when I click to connect to someone, nothing happens. When someone tries to reach me, I do not even know. I need to use the old mail site tat only links with Yahoo IM, then I can have connection. But... when I log out and back in with an other Yahoo address, I am back to the new, non-working site... so I close, then select the old Yahoo mail site... back working with only Yahoo IM... no Facebook ?!? weird...

  • When exiting Yahoo sideshow the program will not go back to the Yahoo mail and drops out the sideshow for future use unless I sign out of Firefox completly and re-enter. What needs to be done to correct this problem?,

    Every time I use the sideshow feature of Yahoo Mail, it locks out the Yahoo Mail when I try to exit the sideshow feature and I have to sign completely sign out of Firefox to have the feature restored. Even using the refresh key, it removes this feature and causes it to act as though I am not authorized to view the feature. Is there something that I need to set?

    I think the problem lays with Last.fm. I had the same exact problem as you. In your processes screen, end the task "lastfmhelper.exe" Last.fm still scrobbles. The tracks don't skip, although I notice there is still a bit of a lag in the first part of the song - but if you can deal with that, no skipping. I think you will have to end that task everytime you boot up your computer, or uninstall last.fm completely until they fix it; it is a bug in their software, as opposed to iTunes.

  • I can't print selected text in a Print dialogue box in Yahoo mail or my bank site. I used to, now I can't.

    I am having this problem both in my online banking site and when using Yahoo Mail. When I click on Print on either of these sites and then close the Print dialogue box that automatically comes up, highlight just the text I want printed, then hit Ctrl+P and choose Selection, Print Preview shows me a blank page. When I try printing the selection using either of the 2 printers I have, it prints a blank page. And yet when I do the same thing in Internet Explorer, I have no trouble printing the text I want. I tried doing the prefs.js troubleshoot, deleting everything in that file that starts with print, but it made no difference. I used to be able to print this way in Firefox no problem, but now it doesn't work. Why not, and how do I get it to work again? I'm using Windows XP and Firefox 11.

    A bug was introduced in the latest version of Firefox that affects printing selections that are inside a table. Because many pages use tables for general layout (without displaying the borders), this may appear to strike at random.
    A fix is expected in Firefox 12. More information: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/923294 how to get print selection to work | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help]
    If you expand your selection to include some content outside the table, then the feature should work, but of course it would include some unnecessary information.

  • Cannot use instant messenger in Yahoo Mail anymore and don't know why

    when I go into my Yahoo Mail, I cannot use instant messenger. If I click on someone on line nothing happens at all. I have been told to delete and reload this program (IM) but have tried repeatedly and cannot find it anywhere. Also tried contacting someone on facebook and got no response so I assume it's not working on the chat feature either

  • When in yahoo mail, the text in the Firefox page tab used to read "EH Quick - Yahoo Mail". Now it changes every second, from "EH Quick - Yahoo Mail" to---"Rickeasslmeir56 - EH Quick" to ---"Sent you a new message". WHY?

    The Yahoo mail program works normally. All my folders, addresses, and emails are still there, but there is no email from "Rickeasslmeir56 " nor has there ever been

    It's someone (surely a spammer) that's trying to contact you via online Yahoo Messenger. But there is a [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=713014 regression bug] in FF9 so Yahoo Mail fails to open a tab to display the message. If you don't use Yahoo Messenger in Yahoo Mail, turn off this feature (use the arrow on the right of your name).

  • 23.0.1 causes errors in Yahoo Mail.

    [1] On reloading Yahoo Mail, a "compose message" window pops up with an old address. Canceling it only has it saved to Drafts. Erasing it from Drafts doesn't clear it. On reload, it pops up again. Does not appear in Chrome.
    [2] When multiple tabs are open in Y! Mail, cannot switch and view other folders until all tabs are closed.
    This bug does not appear in Chrome.

  • I cannot use Yahoo's IM feature from Fire Fox when logged into Yahoo Mail; why?

    I can, and do, log into Yahoo Mail to manage my e-mail while using Fire Fox as my browser, however, if while working within Yahoo Mail I decide to use Yahoo's instant messaging feature and click on one of my contacts who is online and available, the IM panel opens but, immediately a Bing search opens in the message area and blocks all further attempts to send an instant message to the person I wish to chat with. How can I overcome this problem?

  • Yahoo mail draft not saving

    I'm using yahoo mail through my mail app and it's starting not to save my drafts when I save them. It just started and don't know how to fix it. Anyone know?

    I am seeing the same bug. It worked a few days ago (since I got the phone), but yesterday it stopped working. I've noticed some other minor changes in their web client as well, so clearly they've done an 'upgrade' of some kind and have broken their mail server. Even more frustrating is that the phone loses all changes to the email that was being saved -- I lost a fair bit of text before I realized that this was happening.

  • Yahoo mail account is not supporting!

    Yahoo mail account is not supported by mail aplication.

    Did you ever get this working? I have the same issue. AT&T support couldn't help. Just got my new Class ic yesterday. And it looks like BB may have a bug supporting the regular Yahoo email App? This was hinted at by AT&T, not sure if true. I would love a workaround. They thought it might be the secondary verification feature so I turned it off, but still wouldn't work. I signed in thru BB World, still no success. But nobody in the forum seems to have given any help?

  • Safari Crashing/Freezing with Yahoo Mail

    I think this has already been mentioned but hoping Apple will do something about it if we keep bugging them.
    Safari keeps freezing when I try to attach a file using Yahoo Mail. I have to force quit, even though it doesn't say that Safari's unresponsive.
    Combined with the fact that Safari has also become very slow at loading pages, if they load at all, I've reverted to using Firefox. Thanks for the version 5.0 update, really regret installing it.

    HI,
    I think this has already been mentioned but hoping Apple will do something about it
    It's not Apple's responsibility to update third party software.
    If you have BrowserPlus installed, it's not compatible with Safari 5.
