    See OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages for details. on troubleshooting mail.
    Your SMTP server settings are incorrect.  Mail has two connections, a receive path from your mail server to your mail client, and a send path from your mail client to the mail server.  The send path uses SMTP to communicate with the server.
    Apple Mail.app has separate settings for the receive and send paths; each has its own server, username, password, port and SSL settings.  Your send path settings are likely incorrect. 
    To determine the proper settings, check with Yahoo for the SMTP server settings for your account (usually a web search, but I don't know the details of how Yahoo sets up their accounts by default nor whether that varies by account), and verify that your settings match — the send-path settings are available via the accounts settings; Mail > Preferences > Accounts > select the account > Account Information > and switch the Select SMTP Server setting to Edit SMTP Server List... > select your Yahoo SMTP server, and set the account details per Yahoo requirements.

  • Can't send e-mail using Mail.  Entourage works fine with same settings.

    I can't send e-mail using Mail. Using exactly the same settings on Entourage everything works fine.
    Until earlier today (for two days only) I couldn't send either. I was advised to run Keychain Access First Aid which spotted "Item “pop3.freezone.co.uk” is a duplicate; this item's port attribute is not set" and then repaired it (Freezone is the name of my ISP). Now I can send Mail but not receive.
    Even stranger is that until today I could receive Mail on one of my two accounts, while only Mail from one person got through on the other. Now no mail is arriving.
    I tried swapping the plist file for an older version from a backup of my system. That didn't work either.
    I'm tearing my hair out! Any suggestions?

    No.
    I'am sendig email from domain A using SMTP belonging to domain A.
    The emails that's addressis is the same as senders (@grader.ee) are going out. But all others don't.
    If there is wrong outgoing SMTP server even those emails can't send.

    I'm not sure I know what you mean by 'what settings are you using in the accounts part of mail preferences', but I'll give you as much information as I can in the hopes that some of it is responsive.
    In "preferences" I select "accounts" and there are 3 listed:
    'personal gmail' (IMAP)
    'business gmail' (IMAP)
    'Yahoo' (POP)
    For each of the above, the "Account Information" tab gives:
    description: [username]
    email address: [correctly reflects my address]
    full name: [my name]
    Incoming mail server: imap.gmail.com
    user name: [my username]
    password: [*** - I've re-entered to ensure it is my true password]
    outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.gmail.com:username
    Is it all in the same format on the iphone?
    This is the same information for the 2 gmail accounts, with the exception of the usernames differing. If I click "server settings" at the bottom, it reflects the outgoing mail server "smtp.gmail.com" server port 25, my correct user name and password.
    Again, different names for the different accounts, right? And this is the same port etc. as you put into the iphone
    All of the above information matches what I input into my iPhone, and it has worked fine since day 1, so I don't understand the malfunction.
    Open /Applications/Utilities/Console. Make sure console.log and system.log are open (or see the File menu).
    Try to send an email.
    Look for new lines in the log files (it should scroll down automatically so the newest lines are at the end of the log at the bottom of the window). What do you see? (Erase or substitute for any personal info before posting.)
    Do you use any firewall software or have you used third-party software or Terminal to configure the builtin firewall?

  • How can I make Yahoo Mail the default in Safari?

    How can I make Yahoo Mail the default in Safari. I contacted Yahoo and they said to contact Safari.

    Yahoo Mail is not an application. If you wish to use Yahoo Mail just create a bookmark to its web page.

  • I can't keep Yahoo mail account open 2 weeks in a row even with a mark in box KEEP ME OPEN. I did go to Tools, Options, Security to check SAVED PASSWORD box

    Usually, after opening Firefox, to check my Yahoo mail, I log in with my password, and mark the little box in front of KEEP ME OPEN, I can check my mail, and then close Firefox. Whenever I open Firefox, I can access my Yahoo mail account without typing my password. It stays open for 2 weeks. From yesterday, whenever I close Firefox, to access my mail account, I must log in again no matter whatever I've tried such as: Tools-Options-Security-Saved Password, or log out, then log in, type PW, mark little box to KEEP ME OPEN. I even uninstall Firefox, restart, download and re-install Firefox 8.0. The problem can never be solved. It's very annoying to log in by typing again and again my PW. Please help me out since I don't know what causes this problem. Thanks everybody who can help me out.

    Benji, I did get the email server error message again last night around 8PM, but again the email does eventually go. Wondering if the 6PM to 9PM time frame is a busy time for Yahoo email servers and somehow our iTouch or portable devices take a lower priority? I seem to get the error only once a day now around that time, then everything seems fine again...could be a server issue.
    Still looking for a pattern with the blank white web pages when I try and view a previous web page. Seems to happen most when I look at the "iPod touch User Guide" (on the included bookmarks)...most of the other times the previous web page loads fine so....humm....
    I also had an issue with the Camera app today, the red light button and Picture/Video switch were staying dimmed...finally turned off the iTouch (holding down the Home button then pressing the Sleep/Off button on top) then turned it back on, so the iOS could reboot. That fixed the Camera app. Might want to try that too....seems like it might be a fix for a few things, especially after updating to iOS 4.2.1...

  • I cannot open my e.mails in virgin media. This is a recent problem only. They used to open ok. I can open them with explorer and I can open my Yahoo mail ok. Feels like a config. problem, any suggestione ?

    Firefox is my browser. Until recently, I was able to open my virgin e.mails ok. Now I can't. I haven't made any setting changes. I can open my Yahoo mail ok, just not my virgin mail. Virgin tell me its a browser (incompatibility) problem. I can open my Virgin mail if I use Internet Explorer. I can get to my Virgin mail page ok, I can see I have mail etc., it just won't let me open that mail. All I get to see is the title of the mail but no content.

    <blockquote>
    when I open my e mails on Safe-mail with Firefox I cannot open my HTML messages. It just comes as a blank page and says new tab at the top of the screen. I dont have this problem if I use Internet Explorer, but I much prefer to use Firefox and it is a nuisance having to use Internet Explorer just to open my HTML messages, and I get an awful lot of them.
    Can you help solve this problem please?
