Can't set up mail with yahoo email address..

I apologize if this has already been asked, but in setting up Mail, i keep getting an error while trying to set up my yahoo account. Will the mail program work with web based email? if this has been asked before, please direct me.
Thanks!

Hi Ryan
Mail will not work with Yahoo's free email service, but will work if you have the paid Yahoo service. This is because the free service does not allow mail access by POP mail clients.

  • Setting up mail with yahoo email

    I am having trouble connecting to Yahoo Mail through my Mail account. My Mail does not work. I'm not sure if I am entering the wrong set-up info, but i have tried it under IMAP and POP. I believe it is IMAP. ?????

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    You need to pay for the Yahoo Mail Plus for this to work. (Yahoo used to do this for free but they make their money from the adverts you look at when checking your web-based email now).
    Then follow these instructions (link).

  • HT5622 When my daughter got her first iphone we set it up with my email address, she now has her own email & new iphone.  I want to use my email address for my icloud, can I delete the content  from the icloud account and continue to use my email?

    When my daughter got her first iphone we set it up with my email address, she now has her own email & new iphone.  I want to use my email address for my icloud, can I delete the content from the icloud account and continue to use my email?

    Yes, but be sure she is on a separate iCloud account with a separate ID before deleting anything.  Be sure there is nothing that you want to keep on your device too.  When you delete the data from iCloud it will be deleted from all devices signed into the account.  Then you can delete the data from the existing account by doing the following:
    To delete the contacts, go to iCloud.com from your computer, log into your iCloud account and open Contacts, click on All Contacts on the left, to the right click on any single contact to select it, click on the Actions (gear shaped) icon at the bottom left and choose Select All, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
    For Calendars, open the calendar on icloud.com, click Edit on the bottom left, then tap the minus sign to the right of each calendar to delete it.
    For Notes, open notes on icloud.com, click on each note on the left, then click Delete at the top to delete it.
    For Reminders, open reminders on icloud.com, click on each reminder and press your Delete key to delete it.
    For Mail, open your mail on icloud.com, click each folder on the left (such as your inbox), click on a single message to the right, press Control-A on your keyboard to select them all, then press your Delete key.  Repeat this for each of your mail folders except Trash.  When finished, click on the actions (gear-shaped) icon on the bottom left and select Empty Trash.
    If you also want to delete your iCloud backups you can go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage on your device, tap the name of your device under Backups, then tap Delete Backup.

  • Can't set up Mail with Exchange

    Searching has shown that there seem to be a lot of problems with Exchange and Mail, but I wanted to check and see if there's anything else I can do to fix this. My Exchange server works fine with the iPhone and with Entourage, but with Mail it will never sync. I don't want Exchange calendar and contacts, just e-mail. I'm not sure if I'm setting it up wrong - there doesn't seem to be a place to put the domain name? Could that be a problem, or is this just a hopeless quest? I have heard that Snow Leopard should support Exchange, so maybe I will just wait it out. I'm just trying to get switched away from Entourage altogether and I don't like having to use two different e-mail programs. It just seems odd that it works so easily and well on the iPhone but not on a Mac.

    Same problem here. I've used Mail with Exchange for quite sometime but recently I can't send using the SMTP server. I can receive and even send to other email addresses on my Exchange network. But not to the outside world. Tried every configuration and authentication possible. Now I read (here in the discussions) that Mail 3.x (I'm using 3.6) is very unreliable with Exchange. I think we are desperately awaiting Snow Leopard. I will certainly not install Entourage on my Mac again that's for sure. I'm resorting to web access for my Exchange folders now.
    Anyone have any solution to this?

  • How Can I set up Thunderbird for multiple email addresses

    I am using Eudora 7 to handle 6 email accounts on a Windows XP SP3 machine. I want to install Thunderbird on the same machine and import the email addresses. I have Eudora setup to store the data files for each email address in a different data directory. This allows me to have a different icon on the desktop for each email account. Clicking on an icon starts Eudora with the email address data stored in a specific directory.
    What I don't know is how to have Thunderbird import the different email addresses from Eudora to Thunderbird and how to keep the individual email address data separate in Thunderbird.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I never used Eudora, so I can't tell much about it. In any case, I believe it's dead.
    Wrt multiple accounts in Thunderbird, there isn't much you can do wrong. Simply run the new account wizard and set-up the accounts you want (one at a time).
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatic-account-configuration
    If any of your accounts are POP ones, make sure not to enable Global Inbox to keep them separate.

  • Can I make two accounts with one email address?

    I am a newbie so I hope this question makes sense to someone out there.  When I purchased an ipod for my daughter several years ago, I opened her account with my email address because she was so young at the time.  I now have an ipad for myself and we are arguing over whose account it is.  As an example, when I was playing an ongoing game on my ipad with my name attached to the account she complained that she couldn't play the same game with her own accumulating  score so we edited the apple id password to her name and now it is associated with her Facebook account so my identity in the game is in lala land and I cannot access it.  Is it possible to have two separate identities with the same email address used for your apple id?  How do we go about setting up them so we can switch between them?  Any help with this issue is appreciated, thank you.   

    You need to be in a country to use its store, so you can't buy content from the French store unless you are in France with a France billing address on your account. You can try requesting that the music be added to the Canadian store, but unless the record company/rights-holder agrees to it then Appl won't be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
    Is it available on other music purchase download sites that you have access to ?

  • Can I set a default Reply-From email address on my iPad/iPhone?

    In Mail for the Mac, there is an option under the Compose settings to set a default Reply-From email address for all your emails, so that, regardless of which account any email came from, you will always reply by default from one specific address. Is there a way to set a default Reply-From address on the iPad/iPhone?

    [EDIT: Sorry, mis-read question. Ignore me.]

  • Play can't play music purchased with another email address

    I can't play music that was purchased with old email address on an older mac, how does that work?

    If the tracks are DRM-restricted you'll need to authorize the computer for the Apple ID that was used to purchase the songs. Pull down Store > Authorize This Computer and type in the credentials for the Apple ID.

  • I can't set up one particular Yahoo email account but other Yahoo email accounts work fine.

    When I try to add one of my Yahoo email accounts to my iPhone it says "Server Unavailable Please try again later".  But I am able to log in to this Yahoo email account successfully from my iMac via Safari and I am also able to add other Yahoo email accounts to the iPhone.  It's an iPhone 4 that was just migrated from iPhone 3GS.  I've tried both on an iPhone 4 and 4S. It worked fine on the previous iPhone 3GS.
    Please help!

    Choose a slighly different name for the "Name" field, and try to add your Email and Password again.

  • Can I keep my AT&T & Yahoo email addresses after we go back to Time Warner?

    When we found that we could be paying $76.95 LESS per month for MORE, better service with TWC, we decided to swtich back to TWC. (This would never have happened if AT&T wouldn't have sent us a bill asking for $54 more starting this month without even warning us! But that's what they did and it prompted me to call TWC to find out what they could offer. And their best bundle is $76.95 cheaper than AT&T's best bundle, so we switched. It wasn't an easy decision to make because we've had AT&T phone service for 45 years and AT&T Internet for 17 years! We've only had uVerse for 2 years, but even though it's not as good as cable, not as convenient and doesn't have all the cool perks that TWC has, we were going to sign up for another 2 years. Until, like I said, we got the last bill. We don't appreciate being treated this way after paying for the service all this time, never being late, not once, in fact they just take the money out of our checking account each month so it's never late! But, after having all my email addresses with worldnet.att.net, att.net, sbcglobal.net and yahoo, for 17 years, I hate the idea of giving up my email addresses! EVERYONE I know, family & friends, and all the companies and websites I've signed up with know me as my name @ att.net.So, I wonder if I'll be able to access my email accounts after the switch? Or will AT&T just close those accounts? I sure hope there's someone out there that knows the answer to this question will see this and send an answer very soon because I've been fretting about this ever since we made the call to TWC. In fact this is the only reason why we didn't call to switch as soon as our contract was up. (BTW - all the better services we'll have with TWC will be a nice change especially since we don't have to sign a contract! We can drop any service or add any service at any time without paying a penalty!)

    The short answer is, yes, you can keep your AT&T associated e-mail addresses. They have to be modified in some way, but how to do that is pretty easy to find on their support web page.

    Email addresses don't have to be modified after cancelling service, nothing on email support page about that topic.

  • How can I get back Mail Auto-Complete email addresses?

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mail no longer works with the auto-complete of email address.
    My Contacts.app works fine, it just seems that Mail is no longer able to 'read' from my Contacts.
    I use iCloud and everything was great for years.  Mail preferences is set to Auto-Complete email address from my Contacts.
    Not sure how the problem started, but I launched Mail on a 2nd computer  - on the same iCloud.
    Shortly after I did that, my 1st Mac no longer auto-completes email.  I'm unsure if that is what set off the problem.
    Also, I 'did' read Tom Nelson's article which did not work since it's not an 'alias' problem:
    http://macs.about.com/od/MacTroubleshootingTips/qt/What-To-Do-When-Mountain-Lion -Mail-Fails-To-Auto-Complete-Email-Addresses.htm
    Also, there doesn't appear to be a com.apple.mail.plist preferences file I can even delete in Mountain Lion.
    I use Dropbox, but have never it to sync Addresses, Calendar, etc.
    Any help greatly appreciated!

    I had the same issue. After reading this solution I started poking around in the Container folder and found that there was a symlink for AddressBook that was messed up which was causing the problem. In ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Application Support I ran:
    $ cd ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Application\ Support
    $ ls -lh
    AddressBook -> ??/???7??ʪ?????VT???;??\G[?:??:??????T?_Ү??
    CrashReporter
    Mail
    SyncServices -> ../../../../../Application Support/SyncServices
    iCloud -> ../../../../../Application Support/iCloud
    Seeing the aliases for SyncServices and iCloud, I guessed correctly that I just needed to recreate the AddressBook alias to point to the right place. So I just removed the alias for AddressBook, recreated it, restarted Mail, and it worked perfectly. (Note: I did the following to remove the alias, and recreate it. You should confirm what you are removing is an alias. You should also always make sure you have a backup.)
    $ cd ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Application\ Support
    $ rm AddressBook
    $ ln -s ../../../../../Application\ Support/AddressBook AddressBook
    Obviously, DrewSchatt's  original solution to this works as well, but this way you don't have to delete the whole folder, resetting your preferences and possibly delete something else important (only recreating the alias, not deleting any files or data).

  • Can I use Yahoo email address in Mail?

    Hi,
    Friend bought a MacBook. He's had Yahoo email address for years. Can he use it in Mail? If not - is there a free solution? He has an Airport, so no need to get high speed.
    Thanks.

    You can an email account from either your ISP (internet service provider) or from an email account provider only such as Apple (.Mac), Yahoo, etc.
    I was under the impression that one doesn't need to actually get
    high speed with an Airport - that you just need to be somewhere
    with good reception.
    Yes and no.
    I have Cable modem service at Home and I purchased an Airport Express wireless router which is connected to my cable modem. This allows me to create a wireless network at home which is password protected and encrypted. Any neighbors within range of my wireless network can see my network but are unable to connect to it (without my permission or knowledge) since I have it password protected and encrypted.
    Although your friend's MacBook may be within range of someone else's wireless network, most are password protected (or should be) and even if not protected, this doesn't give your friend or anyone else the right to connect to this dumb person's unprotected wireless network without their permission and knowledge.
    Even if your friend does so with or without permission, he will probably have problems sending messages with an email account and SMTP server not provided by the person's internet service provider with the wireless network.
    There are a number of paid and free wireless access locations at coffee shops and the like but each has different requirements for using an email account and SMTP server that is outside of their network.
    Having an Airport or wireless card does not give you free internet access unless you are within range of a free public wireless network which must be within 150 feet or so.
