Cant access my yahoo account on mac mail

recently my Mail app has been playing up. For some reason my yahoo email account that was working perfectly fine with the Mail app, now doesnt recognise my password and wont recieve any incoming mail.
This is a snapshot of the message each time I try to access the yahoo mail. And regardless of how many times I; put in the correct password; delete/re-add the account; and change the password, the message still comes up. Any insight into a solution would be apreaciated cheers

Usually I try to find an Apple support article for responses. Please try this article, http://www.macworld.com/article/146958/2010/03/moveitunes_windowsmac.html, Move an iTunes library from a Windows PC to a Mac

Can't set up Yahoo account on Mac Mail

Here's hoping someone can help!!
I'm trying to set up my Yahoo account on Mac Mail and my week old Mac (running OS X 10.10/Yosemite) is simply refusing to let me!
I've tried adding the account through Add Account in the Mail app, and by adding it through System Preferences: it either simply keeps returning to the initial set up screen (Mail) or it says 'Cannot connect to the server 'Unknown' (System Preferences).
I have had a look through the all the help pages, but I can't find anything which might help me out - can anyone make a suggestion?!
I have set up my business email (IMAP) and that is working fine. I have also got my Yahoo account on my MacBook and it works fine so I'm fairly confident it's nothing to do with my Yahoo account...
What am I doing wrong?!
Thanks in advance...

Typically, right after I posted this, I managed to do it!!
For the benefit of anyone else: rather than choosing Yahoo from the menu, I clicked 'Add Another Account' (thinking I could manually add the IMAP settings|) and it worked...didn't even need to input them myself...

I want to reset my secret question but cant access my yahoo account.

GOOD DAY MA'AM/SIR...
HELP ME CHANGE MY E-MAIL ACCOUNT BECAUSE I CANT ACCESS MY OLD E-MAIL. MY OLD E-MAIL GOT HACK AND CANT LOG IN. I TRY TO CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT BUT THE EMAIL ADDRESS YOU WHERE SENDING IT IS AT MY OLD ACCOUNT.. I WANT YOU TO SEND MY EMAILS IN MY NEW EMAIL ACCOUNT... THATS ALL.. THANK YOU...

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
If you've forgotten your answers to your security questions and you don't have access to your current rescue email address (you won't be able to change it until you can answer your questions) then you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : Contact Apple for help with Apple ID account security
If your country isn't on that page then try this form to contact Support : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
When they've been reset you can then update your rescue email address for potential future use : Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses
Or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : Frequently asked questions about two-step verification for Apple ID

Accessing my hotmail.co.uk account through mac mail - deeply frustrated!!!

Hello everyone, and thanks for your patience as I know very similar queries have been answered already in previous discussions.
I have just bought my first mac after years of pc use.
I would love to be able to access my hotmail.co.uk account through mac mail on os x tiger.
However, despite following all previous posts as accurately as I possibly can, this still won't work. For this reason, I have transcribed absolutely everything I enter into the account setup below, to see if anyone can detect why this isn't working.
I have downloaded httpmail (http://www.automagic-software.com/products.php) as suggested on previous posts.
Also as suggested on a previous discussion, I have set mail to run using rosetta, to help deal with any complications I may face using my intel macbook.
My email address is [email protected]
Now, when I go to set up my account on mail, I enter:
PAGE 1: GENERAL INFORMATION
Account type: httpmail
Account description: Hotmail acccount
Full name: Alistair White
Email address: [email protected]
PAGE 2: INCOMING MAIL SERVER
Incoming mail server: www.hotmail.co.uk
Username: awhitetbn
Password: ******
I am then presented with the account summary:
Account description: Hotmail account
Full name: Alistair White
Email address: [email protected]
Username: awhitetbn
Incoming mail server: www.hotmail.co.uk
SSL: off
Outgoing mail server: services.msn.com:awhitetbn
SSL: off
Next page: Conclusion: a new account has been created.
Ok! All seems well, so I send a test email. However, I get the following message:
Cannot send message using the server services.msn.com:awhitetbn
Use the pop-up menu below to try a different outgoing mail server.
However, in the pop-up menu, the only option I have is:
send message using: HTTPmail:awhitetbn
I would dearly love this to work and I sense I am not far from the solution... If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. Where am I going wrong?
Many many thanks
Alistair White

If you selected the Universal version of the httpmail plugin for download which installs a combination version that is compatible with Intel or PPC Macs , there is no reason to set the Mail.app to run under Rosetta on your Intel Mac.
The sending problem is with your internet service provider and not the Mail.app or the httpmail plugin.
Do you have access to an email account and SMTP server that is provided by your internet service provider used for connecting to the internet and if so, have you used your ISP's email account in the past with an email client on a Windows PC or via webmail access for the account?
Most if not all ISPs now block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of their network or not provided by the ISP on Port 25 which is the default or standard port used for all SMTP servers. Some ISPs allow the use of an authenticated SMTP server only that is outside of their network on Port 25 but some block its use regardless. These restrictions are part of an overall effort to prevent spam emanating from the ISP's domain.
First option to try.
Go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Account Information tab for your Hotmail account preferences at the SMTP server selection, select the Server Settings button below for the Hotmail SMTP server.
Enter 587 in place of 25 in the Server Port field and when finished, select OK to save the changed setting.
If this doesn't work and you have access to an email account and SMTP server provided by your ISP, you can create/access your ISP's account with the Mail.app or at least add your ISP's SMTP server to the Mail.app as an available SMTP server to choose from.
Select/use your ISP's SMTP server to send messages with your Hotmail account and with any email account not provided by your ISP.

Adding account in Mac Mail

How can I add a new account in Mac Mail please?
Using a Macbook Pro, Yosemite, and latest version of Mail.

Hi gaginker,
Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
Here's how to add a new email account in the Mail application:
To add another account, choose Mail > Add Account, select an account type, then enter your account information. Make sure the Mail checkbox is selected for the account.
If you already use an account on your Mac with other apps, such as Notes or Messages, you can also use the account with Mail. Choose Mail > Accounts to open Internet Accounts preferences, select the account on the left, then select the Mail checkbox on the right.
From:
Mail (Yosemite): Set up Mail with your email accounts
Depending on your email provider, you may need to find out the settings mentioned in this article:
Mail settings you might need from your email provider - Apple Support
For some email providers, you might need to know certain settings when setting up Mail. You can use the worksheet in this article to find out which settings you need.
Mail automatically configures your email accounts based on your email address for many email providers. If the information is not readily available, Mail prompts you to enter additional settings such as incoming and outgoing mail server addresses. You need to know these settings in order to set up Mail manually. This information comes from your email provider (such as Yahoo or Hotmail).
Sincerely,
Jeremy

4S, 6.0.1 upgrade kills access to yahoo accounts

I just updated my 4s to 6.0.1 and now my yahoo mail is totally hosed. I think its an issue with some encryption that apple is sending to yahoo the first time attempting to access the application and its causing yahoo to block or disable ALL mobile access. The reason say this is becuase my android devices are hosed now as well. I can't access my yahoo account form any of my mobile devices.
It was without question caused by the upgrade. Everythig was perfectly fine before the upgrade.

Fixed my own problem
At least for the ios device
Delete Yahoo account from phone
Settings
Mail...
Yahoo
Delete account
Clear network settings
Settings
General
Reset
Reset Network Settings
Then clear cookies in safari
Settings

Clear Cookies
Add Yahoo account again

How do you stop needing to verify email password when using yahoo.att with Mac Mail

How do you stop needing to verify email password when using yahoo.att with Mac Mail?

Nevermind, I fixed it (I think). I went into Settings | Accounts & Sync and found Yahoo at the bottom of the list (alphabetically). I selected it and it had an optiion to delete the account, which I did.

Pop gmail account using Mac Mail has stopped receiving email.

I have two pop gmail accounts using Mac Mail. One has stopped receiving email while one is fine. Both are set up exactly the same. Any idea how to fix this issue?

I saw on Yahoo's site the following:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/mailplus/pop/pop-40.html
Does that address your problem?
I see you're using the UK version and that there's no similar page on the Yahoo UK site but perhaps it helps anyway. Have a look here as well: http://help.yahoo.com/l/uk/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/pop/pop-30.html

I see you are using LastPass. Could that add-on be interfering with your login?? You could try disabling it temporarily under Tools > Add-ons to test that theory.

Can I set up an email account in Mac mail if it already exists in mac for outlook?

Can I set up an email account in mac mail if it already exists in mac outlook or do I need to delete the outlook account first? I have tried to set it up and its not working.

Mail and Outlook are two different applications, so you can maintain the same account in both, incl sending and receiving.
What matters is that the setup is correct. E.g., is it a POP3 or IMAP account? By default, IMAP stores all mails on the (ISP's) server, while POP3 usually deletes it there after it's been received. So, with IMAP you'd easily have your mails everywhere, in every client, while with POP3 it's only in the client which you used most recently, so to speak.
A quick description of IMAP vs. POP3

Need to do a hard reset on an iphone 4 but cant access apple id account and cant get reset to email address as it has been closed.

cant finish a hard reset on iphone 4, i cant access my apple account as i forgot the password and cant get a reset sent to the email address i had as thats been deleted, does anyone have any ideas? i still have the box the iphone4 came in so i do have the serial no.

Going to Apple is pointless. They will not do anything to help. Activation lock is an anti-theft feature.
If the seller "forgot" the pasword for her Apple ID, then she needs to re-set it so that it can be used to unlock the phone. If she says she can't for some reason, demand your money back. If she refuses, I stand by the statement that the phone is most likely stolen.
The phone is completely useless without the Apple ID and password.

Outgoing ports are...
SMTP and SMTP-SSL is on ports 25, 587 and 465. Port 587 has to be SSL, and port 465 is enforced TLS-wrapped and is generally used by Outlook users.

The mailbox list is divided into categories with headings in caps, such as ON MY MAC. When you hover the cursor over one of those headings (except for MAILBOXES), you should see the word Show or Hide on the right. Click Show. The MAILBOXES category can't be hidden.
In each category, the mailboxes are arranged in groups, such as Inbox. To the left of each group is a small disclosure triangle. If the triangle points to the right, click it so that it points down.
