Can't Set Up Yahoo Mail Account

Hi,
I have a @yahoo.com.au account and keep getting an error when trying to set it up using the Yahoo! Mail setup on the mail app. It keeps saying the username or password for "imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com".
I tried setting it up manually using POP, but while it can at least receive emails, it can't send!
Does anyone have a way of fixing either of these problems?
Thanks.

HI ...
Login to your Yahoo account on your computer to make sure the password is correct.
Does the password or Yahoo! ID have any special characters? Mobile devices can experience compatibility limits with passwords that contain special characters. If your password contains any special characters you can always log on to a computer and change your Yahoo password so to something that's more compatible.

Can't set up new Mail accounts on N8

I want to add another email account to my N8 (and set it up as IMAP rather than POP3 if possible?) however, I have to set it up through the Wizard, there doesn't seem to be a way of manually setting one up since PR1.1 update (correct?)
However, whenever I try, my phone attempts to contact Nokia's mail server or something and says 'Preparing for setup' for ages then times out. It then asks me for a username and password, and the only options I get for setting up a mail account is a Microsoft Exchange Server option, which I don't think Yahoo mail offer!
Can anyone help?

Just a thought network access point is defined as Priority 1 in internet destinations rather than WLAN?

Mail can't connect to Yahoo Mail account.

For Yahoo Mail accounts I created a few years ago, they work. But the recent ones, they don't. How should I configure in order to allow Mail to manage Yahoo Mail?

Have you tried to take off the parental control just to eliminate that possibility??
If the yahoo email account page opens up then you know the problem lies in the security settings that you have applied...
Please let me know your results..

GAH! How Can I Set Up My Mail Accounts?

I have 15 email accounts in total, each with it's own unique 64 character password. Manually setting up email accounts on my devices is clearly not an option. No worries, because up until today, I simply synced my mail account data from iTunes. You only have to do it once, you don't need any sort of on-going email account data syncing. The accounts keep their own mail in sync, so the 'setup sync' was a one time deal. And I didn't sync the accounts with mobile me, or later icloud, because I wanted different accounts on differnet devices.
Well I just got my new iPhone 5S and I'm trying to set up my mail. But I can't! There's no way to sync Mail data! I tried turning on iCloud Keychain (which was a complete disaster the first time I tried to use it, but I need my email!) I tried deleteing my iCloud account and re-adding it on my phone (and my old phone that I erased, and re-setting up as an iPod). But no matter what I do, I can't get any mail accounts to show up.
I NEED my email on my phone. There is no way around it, I cannot function without that. I don't even put my phone number on my business cards any more, only email. Email HAS TO WORK. But thanks to Apple, I can't get it on there.
It would seem that my only option is to get it to sync via iCloud Keychain? That's going to cause me an unlimited amount of headaches, but if that's the only way to get mail accounts to sync, then I guess that's what I have to do. But how do I do it? I have turned on iCloud Keychain on all of my devices and computers, but no mail accounts are syncing.
All my Macs are currnetly on Mavericks, and all my devices (iPad mini, iPhone 4S deactivated, iPhone 5s) are on iOS 7.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
This type of service is offered by IMAP email accounts such as the me address that is associated with your iCloud account.
Are you saying it isn't working or are you trying to add a third party address (ie gmail, yahoo etc etc) to your mail account and expecting it to work like an IMAP account.

How can I set up my mail accounts to sync sent and read messages automatically?

I'm not sure how to set it up so my flagged emails, sent messages, and read messages will show the same in my MacBook Pro and my MacBook Air. This seems like it would be a simple problem to fix, but I can't figure it out.
Thanks!!

Not able to set up yahoo mail account : N8

I bought N8 just few days back.
I can able to set up Gmail account but not able to set up yahoo account.
It shows error:
Unable to connect with information provided. Try again ...
Please help..

I think you require a plus account to download mail to an email client incl a mobile phone, saying that though last year if you're in the UK you could download Yahoo mail without a plus account & I still do even though the Yahoo help pages say I require a paid account.
It may be that your username & password are incorrect or the settings are,
Here's what I have:
pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk, port 995, SSL on.
smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk port 465, SSL on.
Username is the usual - bit before the @.
Passwords might be case sensitive.

How can I set an outlook mail account to the mail app in mac

My outlook mail account doesn't work in the mail app, it keeps asking for my password everyday, and the outgoing mail server says "outlook.com (dissconected)".

I don't have Hotmail, but generally, web based email accounts need to be set up within that account (in this case Hotmail) - you need to go to your Hotmail account and check if it can be set up as an IMAP or POP account with emails automatically being forwarded to Mail. Hopefully someone with a Hotmail account will chime in with more specific info; in the meantime, check out the options in your account there.

How can I set up my mail account to receive mail?

I have a brand new imac i'sight 3.06 Ghz, 500GB etc. I have added my UK hotmail email account to the mail application and I am able to send email directly from the application from my hotmail mailbox, but when i press 'Get new mail' the bar flashes and shows that I am receiving mail but I cannot see it in the inbox.
Can anyone help?

Can't set up my mail account. Virgin info says it should be POP Mac says it is IMAP

Hi
I am trying to set up my email account. I have recently changed from windows to a mac. Virgin media say it should be a POP account - Mac says IMAP on account type. I have at least three mail accounts now and non of them work. How can I re-start mail set up. Any help would be great. Thank you.

The account information says Account Type: POP which won't let me alter it. The next box down says Description and so on. I can only alter certain things but nothing that lets me alter the Account Type. I downloaded "how do I set up apple mail on os x" from the virgin website but it doesn't tell me how to alter the POP to IMAP etc. Can I just delete all the mail boxes and try again from scratch? Thanks for the reply.
If mail has lready been downloaded you need to back it up before you delete the account, POP does not synchronize mailboxes so you may have the only copies of your mail on your computer so:
In Mail, go to Mailbox>Export Mailbox and repeat for each mailbox with content you want to keep.
Then delete the whole account and re-enter it but leave the password blank, click create and you will get to a manual setup page in which you can choose iMap/Pop etc. You will need to know the correct server settings so get them from Virgin.
From this page (VirginMedia mail Setup) it appears that VirginMedia mail is POP only so you can't change it to iMap.

Can I have two yahoo mail accounts on my iPad but only have one account push and the other fetch or manuel?

I have two yahoo email accounts but I want my main one to push email and the other one to be manuel or even fetch, is this doable?

You don't know what push means.
Push means new messages received at the incoming mail server are pushed out by the incoming mail server without the email client being used to access the account having to check the account automatically or manually which is called fetch. An account can be checked automatically without having to open the Mail app which is not push.
Manual with the Mail app on an iOS device is not the same as manual with an email client on your computer.
If you launch the Mail app, all email accounts will be checked for new messages even when manual is selected for an account. If manual is selected for an account, it should not be checked for new messages until to launch the Mail app.
