Can't Use "Mail" Application

I just got a MacBook so am just starting to get my head around things. I have tried to use and set up Mail but I put in my yahoo address and password - it whirrs for a bit and then says basically yahoo may require some money for this - is this correct? Is Mail therefore redundant for yahoo account holders?

If you have a free Yahoo! Mail account, you can't use any external email program to send or receive email with it unless you pay a fee ($20 US) per year. Considering the spam filtering and unlimited storage aspect of the service, that's very inexpensive by any standard.
However, certain EU countries may prohibit them charging a fee for those features, or at least if your account was activated before a certain date. Send Yahoo! support an email asking about that to see whether or not you would have to pay a fee. If you're dead set against paying for services that provide value for you, Gmail is completely free.

  • How can I synch Mail application between an iMac and a Macbook Pro

    I want to be able to go back and forth between my iMac and my Macbook Pro using Mail application.
    I don't want to set up two completely separate accounts.
    Has anyone had to do this and if so, how do I do it?
    Thanks for your help

    You can get a Dropbox account, this will allow for 2GB of free storage and you can purchase additional storage if needed. You can find out about Dropbox from their website or read one of the many reviews about them. Their address is:
    www.dropbox.com
    and some reviews are at:

  • Can i use other application on ipad such as microsoft excel or word? how?

    can i use other application on ipad such as microsoft excel or word? how?

    'Normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software do not work on the iPad (iOS), they are different operating systems. You can only install apps from the iTunes App Store on your computer or the App Store app directly on your iPad.
    Numbers (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/numbers/id361304891?mt=8) and Pages (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pages/id361309726?mt=8) are two options, as are third-party apps such as Documents To Go :
    'normal' version : http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/documents-to-go-office-suite/id317117961?mt=8
    premium version : http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/documents-to-go-premium-office/id317107309?mt=8

  • Can you use an application in hyper-v environment in Windows server from each client computer or that is not possible?

    hi,

    what other benefits it has for example when you install 2-3  applications in t hyper_v environment can you use those applications from each client computer or that is not possible at all. ( I don't mean cloud )

    thanks,
    so , now what is the benefit of hyper-v role on essential 2012r2 .  it that means that I can install only one operating system on it only one instance and no more. also I can run some applications on this server  just like you say with RDP licence
    for each user to acces this virtual server!
    and if I want more instances then I have to get datacenter.

  • Can I Use Mail

    Can I use Mail with my SBC Yahoo Mail account ? and how would I go about setting that up if I could, reason why I ask is because then I can just send mail and see my mail taht way, instead of having to go to yahoo all the time, or useing Yahoo Messenger to just check my mail.

    You don't need to visit 50 websites - you need to visit SBC's website - the same website where you go to access your SBC/Yahoo email account via webmail.
    That website should include a Help section that provides the account setup information for creating and accessing the account with an email client such as the Mail.app and I'm certain SBC provides POP type account access only.
    If you call SBC and tell them you have a Mac and are using the Mail.app, they will probably tell you that they don't support Macs/OS X or the Mail.app but all you need to get from SBC is the following:
    Incoming Mail Server address.
    User Name Requirement - usually the portion of your email address in front of the @ sign only but sometimes the entire email address depending on the provider.
    Account Password - you should already know.
    Is Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) required for the incoming mail server? Some providers support this but not required but it is required by some providers.
    Outgoing or SMTP server address.
    Is the SMTP server authenticated?
    If so, the user name requirement. This is usually the same user name requirement as for the incoming mail server.
    Password - This is usually the same password used to check the incoming mail server for new messages.
    Some email clients such as the Mail.app have a selection to use the same account user name and password settings as for the incoming mail server when the SMTP server is authenticated. The Mail.app has no such setting so if the SMTP server is authenticated, the settings must be entered separately for the SMTP server.

    Tried my k3772-z modem to connect macbook air to internet and got the message: you can't use this application with this version of mac os x. Is there a setting that needs to be changed?

    I can't help you with a direct answer.  For third-party devices you should contact the vendor (Vodafone). 
    If you have an iPhone (or an Android phone with hot-spot capability) you can use that to connect to the Internet without paying for a separate cellular service.

  • Can't use Mail in Applications

    I'm not sure I'm even phrasing this correctly - I am an absolute Luddite regarding computer terminology/usage.
    I can use an email account by accessing it via Explorer, but when I send or receive attached Quark files they are corrupted, although Photoshop, etc come through ok.
    I desperately need to use Mail in Applications, but information seems to be missing (eg, I can't add another account, there is no facility to do this). I've been told that using email via Mail will solve the problem.
    I have my email account details, and my computer is a iMac G5, OSX version 10.3.9.

    Your right confusing question!
    Sounds like account set up.
    Assuming you can start Mail go to pull down menu "MAIL" select "PREFERENCES" then select "ACCOUNTS" at the bottom left corner you will see a plus & minus click the plus to add account.
    As for your settings try your service provider for help.

  • How do i disable entourage so i can start using mail

    how do i disable entourage so i can start receiving emails in mail?

    I have different email addresses set up in the two applications. Entourage for my business, and Mail for my personal emails. My personal emails will not go to Entourage if I have not told Entourage to receive them (i.e. set up an account for them). If you do not want Entourage to receive emails, then delete any accounts you may have set up in it. Set up your accounts in Mail, and you will then receive your emails in Mail. You can use both applications if you wish.

  • How can i use Mail on 2 macs with the same mail address?

    Hi,
    I have two Macs, connected through WLAN. From each Mac I can use Mail (sending and receiving) with the same mail address. This worked well; on each Mac I have separate files storing the mails (input, sent, trash, …).
    Some days ago I had to change the provider. (Perhaps this may be the reason for my problem?) Now both mail systems are connected - in the way that if I put on Mac *1 a mail into the trash it is automatically thrown into the trash on Mac *2.
    What is to be done to separate the two systems (i. e. make them independent of each other)?

    It looks like you are using a IMAP mail account, a protocol used by most email providers nowadays. Read -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Message_Access_Protocol
    The main feature of IMAP is the sync of all the changes you do on your mail account. If you want to keep your mails on one Mac, have a look at this site -> http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=3908294

  • How can I use mail merge with numbers in the new pages version?

    I am trying to use mail merge with the new version of pages and can not seem to be able to figure it out. PLEASE HELP!!!

    Nope. Version 5 is a fashion accessory: it looks like software, but it doesn;t actually do anything. Sort of like a sports car with a lawn-mower engine. Looks snzzy. Doesn't really work. (And given how buggy it is, I should further specifiy that the lawn-mower engine comes with a blade: it chews up your old templates, produces files that cannot be sent as email attahcments [yes, really], and—this just in—doesn;t play well with the new SMB facility of Mavericks. In short, as one reviewer put it, "un unmitigated disaster."

  • I Can't Use Mail!

    I can't use my mail program that's at the botton of my screen. I can open it, but that's about it. The wait icon just comes up and I sit there. And it will just stay like that until I force quit. Does anyone know what's going on and how I can fix it? I will be very greatful for any advice given.

    The information about the computer model and version of Mac OS X that appears at the bottom of your post doesn’t make sense. Please clarify which version of Mac OS X you’re using and update the Computer Model and/or Operating System fields on your My Settings's profile (and click Save).
