Error message when setting up a Yahoo email account.

I have set up 4 email accounts on my ipad fine. Gmail, a work email and 2 pop emails with no problems but i cannot add my yahoo account. after i use the "ipad easy yahoo set up" i get the following message - The IMAP server "imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com" is not responding. Check you connection and that you are entering the correct information in the "incoming mail server field."
i am entering Nothing in the incoming mail server field. Apple must have the yahoo mail server pre programmed for easy set up.. all its asking me to enter is name, email addres and password. IN addition why would "apple" be in the imap server name? does this seem correct? i know there was a simliar question to this one a few days ago but there was no resoultion. Is this an Ipad programming programming problem? HELP?

If you are getting the password incorrect error, try changing the password to be alphanumeric only - no special characters. That worked for me.

  • Error message when setting up Road Runner Email on my new Macbook Pro

    I get the following error message when setting up my RR account. 
    Logging in to the neo.rr.com POP server “pop-server.neo.rr.com” failed. Make sure the user name and password you entered are correct, then click Continue. If the information isn’t correct, you cannot receive messages.
    I go to the next steps and everything looks like it should.

    Hello Jen,
    Congratulations on your new MacBook Pro!  I understand how important is to have your email account setup on your new computer. I found a couple of resources that I think might help.
    You can check the Mail Setup Assistant for the server settings for common email providers.  I recommend checking your email settings here first to verify they match what you have in the Mail application:
    Mail Setup Assistant
    https://www.apple.com/support/macosx/mailassistant/
    If the Mail Setup Assistant does not provide settings for your email account, you can use the following article when contacting your email service provider to gather the necessary information to setup your account:
    Configuring Mail for your email account
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1277
    If you are able to setup your account but messages are not being downloaded, I recommend reviewing the following article:
    OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3276
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

    Is anyone getting this message when trying to access Yahoo Email?  "Cannot Get Mail, The connection to the server failed?"

    I have Yahoo mail (POP) account.  Mine is working fine at present.  I do occasionally get asked for password while sending mail.  I have had your issue in the past and it usually clears up in a few hours.  Sometimes I sign out and then back in and it starts working again.

  • Nokia C3-00 - Cant set up my Yahoo email account? ...

    Hi
    I recently bought the Nokia C3-00 on Vodafone but asked them to unlock it so that I could use my exisitng O2 contract. 
    I want to set up my Yahoo email account, but Im having great difficulty!
    When I initially put my O2 sim card in, they sent me the settings for MMS and Web.  I can get on the internet and I can access Facebook, but I cant seem to access the Nokia Ovi Store or set up my Yahoo email account.
    I watched this http://www.youtube.com/user/nokiasupportvideos#p/u/15/lTlWUH5EqMw Nokia Support Video on Youtube but my menu looks different to the one in the video!   When I click on the Mail icon on the Menu screen I have a message appear saying 'No mailbox created. Set up mail now?'  If I click 'Yes' It says 'Use an existing mail address?' to which I also say 'Yes' and proceed to emter my email address, etc.  Should this be happening as I notice in the video that Yahoo Mail is one of the options in the video, however as I have said I do not have that screen!
    Can someone please help!?
    Thanking you in advance!
    Sarah

  • How do I solve MFMessagerdomain 1032 when trying to access yahoo email account

    how do I remove MFMessagerdomain 1032 when trying to access yahoo email account   I put in password (correct) and still comes up with message

    No. Everything was working fine and then it wasn't. I hadn't changed any settings or switched either one off. When the phone stopped working properly I ignored it because I always have my ipad with me but that just sopped working properly and now I am stuffed. I have tried most solutions suggested on here even wiping the ipad clean and re-booting. I did this exactly the same way as when I first got it but still no joy. The same with the phone.

    HI,
    In effect this is a DNS block.
    You can do it.
    You need to be in an Admin Mac User Account that has  non blank password.
    Go to the Applications/Utilities folder and open Terminal.
    You should see your shortname (the one under the Little House icon) followed by the $ symbol
    Copy and paste the bold text below into Terminal after the $ symbol.
    sudo pico /etc/hosts
    This will load the file "hosts" into and editor that works in Terminal.
    Use the arrow keys to get to the line with Verisign in it.
    Now type the # symbol and it will be added in front of the character that is highlighted.
    The # symbol is either Shift +3 or ALT+ 3 depending on your keyboard layout
    Now use CTRL and O keys together.
    This Saves the changes.
    Quit Terminal.

    Unless Yahoo has changed this, you must have a paid Yahoo account in order to access the account with an email client on your computer. You can access a free Yahoo account via webmail access usiing a browser.

  • Error message when setting up POP3 email account

    I have my phone setup with my Gmail account and my work accout. Both were working fine, but after a few weeks I could no longer send email from my work account. I would get the "Connection to the outgoing SMTP server failed" error message.
    I tried to delete the account and program it back in exactly as I had it before, and now when I try to save those settings, I get this message:
    "Secure connection failed - the certificate for "[email protected]" may be invalid."
    Our IT guys says all the info I'm plugging in is correct. Can anyone help??
    Thanks.

    closereach,
    It sounds like your SMTP server may be using a self-signed certificate for the SSL connection.
    A self-signed SSL certificate doesn't have the same authority as one that has been verified by one of the certificate authorities. It is kind of like the difference between using a business card and a photo ID. For many things the business card was sufficient ID, but when it comes to secured items like encrypted data, it is better to have an ID that has been verified by another authority.
    You should have the option to use it, and then continue on.
    If you do not have that option, its possible the certificate is not self-signed, but could be showing up as expired.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • Error message when setting up .Mac email account on iPhone

    Hi - I've tried Apple support, iphone support, and the submit a question/problem to the mac people with no luck. So, I'm taking my question to the next higher level -- you all.
    So here is the issue. I have had a mac email account for years. I buy my cool new iPhone a few weeks ago, and add my main apple mac email account to the iphone. All is good, and I can send/receive email messages from my main account. Then I add = three other email accounts I have on mac for internet/web surfing, and all is good there too. So, now I can access my 4 apple mac accounts on my iphone.
    Here is the problem -- a few days ago, my main apple mac account stopped working on my iphone. I can still send/receive email messages via web based mac mail, and I can access all my mail on my laptopn (just like usual). But, now, when I go to check my main mac account on my iphone it says unable to verify username or password.
    So, I have tried 100 different times now, all to no avail. I deleted it, rebooted it, tried it as a mac account, an IMAP account, POP account, etc.
    I have all the latest versions of itunes, iphone, etc.
    So, can anyone help me (pleeeese)......
    Thanks, Drew
