Can't Send Using Yahoo Mail Plus Account

I'm a Yahoo Mail Plus subscriber and am having problems sending mail with the Apple iPhone. I only have this problem with my Yahoo Mail Plus account. A second (free) Yahoo account works fine, as does a GMail account.
Other Yahoo Mail Plus users are reporting the same issue:

My problem is that when I send an e-mail on my Yahoo Mail Plus account, it is not received by the recipient, nor does a copy appear in my sent mail folder on the Yahoo server. I don't receive any error message -- the mail just never is sent.
I spoke with an Apple store genius and he suggested deleting the Yahoo Mail Plus account settings on my iPhone and then setting it up again. I did this and it worked for the first 2-3 messages, but did not work again after that (once I had already ended my Genius Bar appointment). I tried deleting my Yahoo Mail Plus account settings a second time later and got the same result -- I was able to send 1-2 messages but none after that.
My other free Yahoo Mail account is working fine on the iPhone (send/receive) as is a GMail account. And all accounts work properly when accessed directly via a web browser.
Apple has a support doc about sending e-mail on the iPhone, but this relates to ISP port blocking and doesn't seem to apply to my situation as it happens in various locations with different WiFi providers, as well as when on AT&T's Edge network.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305634
I even had the problem in the Apple store using their WiFi network, which presumably doesn't have port issues.
Anyone else having the same problem? Any suggestions?
Thanks.

after reading how free accounts works fine and plus accounts tends not to, i think its safe to say this is a yahoo problem. the iphone yahoo wizard is probably meant for free accounts, but plus accounts are setup differently.

How can I sync iPhone "Notes" with Notes Folder in Yahoo Mail Plus Account?

I am trying to sync my iPhone 3gs "Notes" (ios 5.0.1) with my Yahoo Mail Plus Account. In "Settings", "Mail, Contacts, Calendars", "Yahoo Mail" Account , the "Notes" button is turned ON. When I open my Yahoo Mail Account on my PC, a "Notes" Folder has been created, but it is EMPTY.

There is now a separate Notes application. It is not part of Mail.

Setting up Yahoo Mail Plus account?

I recently purchased my first Mac Book Pro. I use Yahoo Mail Plus as my email account. At the Apple store they were unable to set my email up so that I could access it through the Mac mail app. I have to access it through my Yahoo browser. Yahoo has been no help and so far 3 customer service people at the Apple store have failed. Any suggestions??

Anyone using Yahoo Mail Plus?

Hello!
I would like to know what your experiences have been using Yahoo Mail Plus with Mail on your Mac.
I am considering upgrading to Yahoo Mail Plus as my ISP has some wonky settings for their mail servers and at times important email doesn't get through. Thus I think that some contract and employment opportunities have been missed.
I acknowledge that web based email is akin to postcards, but security is not really the issue. The issue is getting my communications and anyone who has emailed me via Yahoo has always gotten through.
Any and all comments welcome, as well as suggestions.
Thanks,

Can't send via Yahoo Mail

My wife has a Yahoo mail account. She can read her e-mail, but when she sends e-mails, they seem to vanish (i.e., not reach their destination), despite the fact that she never gets an error message.
After looking on these boards, one proposed solution was to delete the account and re-create it. I did that for her, and it fixed the problem, but now it's five days later and the problem has returned.
Has Apple or Yahoo acknowledged anything about this issue? The problem is serious enough where she's contemplating switching to GMail.
Thanks.

It's a known issue with Yahoo email in these forums, as is the sad push email performance. It's been with us since the iPhone was released... I'm hopeful it'll be fixed before my 2 year AT&T contract is up
Nothing official from Apple in the way of an acknowledgment, not their style it appears.
I've logged the issue using all official channels (Tech Support, the Feedback form, etc.) and all appear to be black holes. Here's hoping the next firmware rev will address the issue, and if the fault is with Yahoo rather than Apple's client code it would be great to see Yahoo plug the hole.
Short term workaround is to always check your sent email folder after sending... if the message isn't there, it was dropped somewhere... reset the iPhone and try again. Seems to temporarily resolve the issue for me.

Unable to add a yahoo mail plus account to mac mail

I had a yahoo account setup which worked for the last year. It stopped working last night. I am unable to add it again. it is a plus yahoo mail account and the account is active and current.

If you have two-step verification turned on, turn it off. I think the Yahoo mail app works splendidly, personally...

Why can't I use Yahoo mail? It won't delete any emails. Google chrome does it right. Fix it or you will lose our business

Yesterday, Aug. 22, Mozilla suffered a massive & complete breakdown in handling Yahoo. Originally I thought it was a virus. I immediately switched to Google Chrome & worked on it w/o difficulty all day long. Yahoo was pushing all data/articles to the left side of the screen. That fixed today, Aug. 23. HOWEVER, the problem with Yahoo mail persists. Out of the blue, it's impossible to delete any Yahoo emails on Mozilla. If you single click to select a list of emails to be deleted, they open automatically. There's no "delete" at the top of the screen to get rid of it. It's very annoying. Somebody's messing with your system (alone). Google Chrome & Microsoft Explorer worked just fine all day. FIX IT!

YES!!! IT WORKED!!! THANK GOD! Mozilla is so much more fun than Google Chrome--- All my bookmarks were saved & my passwords, too! And now my Yahoo Mail is working beautifully again! What a relief!

Have Yahoo Mail Plus, which does not allow ads. When on my work computer and log into my Yahoo account, ads do appear?? This does not happen on Explorer. Help

Have a Yahoo Mail Plus account, which does not allow for ads. It works fine on Explorer, but when used on Firefox the same ads always appear both at the top and left margins "Dr. Oz New Weight Loss Secret". Yahoo says it is a Firefox issue. Please help.

another thing you can try is to [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]].
in case there are still adverts shown in places where they aren't supposed to be afterwards, it sounds like an issue with malware on the system. please run a full scan of your pc with the security software already in place and different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx microsoft safety scanner] or [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan].

Palm Centro Issue With Yahoo Mail Plus POP via Versamail

I have a Palm Centro and have been using Versamail for 3 1/2 years with my Yahoo Mail Plus account via POP. On September 12th I stopped having the ability to send or receive POP email on my Yahoo Mail Plus account. I have spoken with Sprint & Yahoo. I have done all the steps they have asked and I have even gone as far as replacing my phone with another Palm Centro and still have the same issue. I know the config is correct as it was working for so long. I can use my Gmail POP in Versamail fine. I receive the error when setting up the Yahoo Mail Plus account in Versamail when I click on "Test Settings" I receive the following... "Error connecting to server. Please check your network or server settings and re-sync." Does anyone have any ideas about this? Thanks.
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

actually some e-mail providers like yahoo free account, msn mail and free hot mail does not work with the mail application, as you told me that it needs to enable the pop server for such mail
and about the iphone are you sure that ur using the mail application in iphone, you must be using safari to browse through ur mails
yahoo mail plus is compatible with the mail application but it comes for a price so here you could either use safari to go through your mail or go in for some other free account like AOL which will work with the mail application

Problems with Yahoo Mail Plus

I have a Yahoo Mail Plus account and I can get my mail through Outlook 2007 without any problem, but I cannot receive (muchless send) any e-mail on my iPod Touch.
My incoming mail server is plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com and my outgoing mail server is plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com. I've deleted and recreated my account on my Touch, and I've deleted my account and had it recreated when I've synced with iTunes. Neither of these methods have worked. My password is correct and I know I've got a WiFi connection because I can go anywhere I like on the internet using Safari.
Can anybody help me? Please???

Try this:
1.) Go to settings (or if you don't have an account setup, just go to the mail app)
2.) Don't touch the yahoo icon. Hit "other"
3.) Select POP from the top 3 buttons
4.) enter your name, email address ([email protected]) and your password
5.) Enter the host name for the incoming mail server (for yahoo mail, it should be "pop.mail.yahoo.com ". Enter your user name (without the @yahoo.com) and then enter your password you use.
6.) Enter the host name for the outgoing mail server. It should be "smtp.mail.yahoo.com "
This was posted by a friend that said he got it working this way - I have not tested as I have no Yahoo! account.
Here is another set of instructions I found online - again, NOT tested by me.
1) Open yahoo mail
2) Click "options" tab in upper right corner
3) In center column click "pop access and fowarding"
4) Make sure there is a blue dot where it says Web and POP access, if not click there so that it does. You may also decide your spam choices here.
5) Click "save" in upper left corner underneath where it says mail
Now go back to your touch
1) open settings on the touch
2) tap mail
3) tap add account
4) tap other
5) tap POP
6) put your name in
7) add your yahoo email address
8) it will show your yahoo account again as the description
9) under incoming server mail host name, type in pop.mail.yahoo.com
10) type in your user name
11) type in your password
12) under outgoing mail server host name, type in smtp.mail.yahoo.com:465
13) type in your user name
14) type in your password
15) tap advanced
16) under advanced make sure that SSL is on, authentication is set to password
and that the server port is 995 for incoming and 465 for outgoing

E63 Yahoo email set up without Yahoo mail plus

Is there a way to set up Yahoo mail to my E63 device without a Yahoo mail plus account?
I have a standard Yahoo mail account. When I go to mail options, and trying to set up POP & Forwarding, I will not be able to do anything without upgrade to mail plus. Is there a way to get around this? I do not want to use Yahoo mobile either. Thanks for your help.

@ Weitl
I use emoze and have tried seven. Seven works great but drains battery and uses lots of memory. Emoze mail will work with yahoo regular mail. http://www.emoze.com/. http://www.seven.com/. Both work great. Seven integrates a little better into native messaging application with contacts but I prefer emoze.

In Yahoo mail plus no pics come into inbox or pics won't open

When using yahoo mail plus in fire fox latest version, no pics come into my inbox or they won't open..yahoo mail plus pics are ok in IE7 or using firefox and gmail...dunno..when I was forced to upgrade by yahoo to latest version of mail plus it won't work anymore.

thanks very much pascal - appreciate the help.
i think i'll have to do a custom install from disk. is there anything i need to do/be aware of with the mail folder before i do the install? should i leave it in homefolder/library (once i've backed it up that is)?
will the new mail app just `talk` to the old mail folder once installed?
just want to avoid any probs and getting myself into further tangles once i do this.
thanks very much,
ben

I am receiving a connection error and can't send out yahoo e-mails. I can surf and use another browser with no problem what happened all of a sudden with my firefox?

I can't send out e-mails! I get a connection error message.
I can receive messages, surf the web via Firefox.
The only related thing to this occurrence is that I received a notice from Firefox recommending that I disable a Skype extension, which I did. Not sure if this is connected.

1. Change your server to outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net - This is the correct outbound server for Verizon Yahoo accounts.
2. Make sure the setting for "outgoing server requires authentication" is selected. - It should auth with your vz username and password
If you are still having trouble, post the error. (The error you've posted here is for the wrong server.)
Well, I had already done those things before. The message I got when I tried is:
An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: From address not verified - see http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/manage/sendfrom-07.html. Please verify that your email address is correct in your Mail preferences and try again.
I had input the email address without the @verizon.net extension. That's exactly how I input it in the pop3 set-up for receiving e-mail and it works there.
So I went to the link that is referenced in the error message. It basically had me go to my Yahoo mail account page. I was directed to add an account with a different email address. A verification code was then sent to me via email that I then had to input into the new account's setup page in order to activate my Yahoo mail for smtp use. Once I input the code and validated I was then able to send e-mails just fine with Thunderbird. I was able to use my @verizon.net email address and not the new account I had created.
Bottom line - I had to activate/validate my account before I could send email. I had not read about this anywhere when trying to figure out what was wrong.

I have an ipad2 and was using yahoo mail. I pressed send and it didn't work however it created a draft. I then opened the draft and now I can not cancel or send it or close the window. It just remains in the mail screen. Any suggestions?

I tried that but it is still stuck in Draft. Cancel button does not work but Send button does.
