Forwarding AOL, Yahoo Mail to Mail APP
Hello. I have been trying to just use one application to send and receive mail and Mail on my mac seems to be the best. I have AOL and Yahoo accounts and I just want everything forwarded to Mail. I downloaded this program called Mail Forward, but I can't seem to figure it out. Something about SMTP and everything I enter doesn't work. Can someone help me out? This is really frustrating even though I'm sure it's easy it's just I'm missing something simple. Thanks.
If your Yahoo email account is a free account, Yahoo prevents accessing a free account with any email client such as the Mail.app. A free Yahoo account is webmail based only which requires using a browser. If you have a Yahoo Mail Plus or paid account ($20/yr), you can access it with the Mail.app and the required account settings for a Yahoo Mail plus account are available via Yahoo's website.
The required account information to create and access your AOL account with the Mail.app or with any email client such as the Mail.app is as follows:
Account Type: IMAP
Incoming Mail Server: imap.aol.com
User Name: The portion of your AOL email address in front of the @ sign only.
Password: The account's password.
Outgoing or SMTP Mail Server: smtp.aol.com
Server Port: 587
Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): Off or not selected.
Authentication: Password
User Name: The portion of your AOL email address in front of the @ sign only.
Password: The account's password - the same password used to check the incoming mail server for new messages.

Hi I want to attach word documents to yahoo mail app and some job portals using iPad I don't know how to attach it can u ppl help me thru this issue
would I be able to "upload" (not sure how else to say it) my existing folders and subfolders containing all my emails so that they are all available on my new IMAP service, while still being available on my Mac?
Not easily, no. There's no direct transfer option between POP and IMAP, especially across email providers. The best you could do would be to forward all of your emails to your new address, although it's not clear that you need to - dropping your sbcglobal.net account doesn't instantly render all your existing mail void - it'll still be in your Mail client, you can still read it, search it, etc., it just won't be on your provider's server.
I have toyed with the idea of getting a MobileMe account. Would that solve my issue/question above?
MobileMe would be viable, especially if you're interested in synching your various iOS devices. It's not free, of course, unlike Yahoo and Gmail, although you've already discounted them...
I have also toyed with purchasing my own URL, but it's hard to tell from the sites (1and1, Namecheap, etc.) if they come with IMAP email accounts included.
Some registrars offer email hosting bundles with a domain registration. This could be a good way to go. GoDaddy, for example, have a email hosting option for domains you register with them. -

Has anyone had issues with the Yahoo Mail app?
A couple of months ago, I noticed my battery draining quickly while I was at work (data, not wifi) and not long after that I received a notice that I had used 75% of my data in less than 2 weeks! My daughter and I share 10GB data and we rarely use more than 4GB total.
Called tech support, realized it was YAHOO MAIL draining my juice and data, Support suggested uninstalling and reinstalling the app thinking maybe there was a glitch in updates causing it to constantly sync everything,. I uninstalled the app, waited until my billing cycle had ended and reinstalled it.
Same thing happened within days.lucychik,
We definitely want you to be worry free when it comes to your data usage. The great thing is that we have narrowed it down to the Yahoo Mail application. Your device comes with a native email application. I would recommend removing the Yahoo Mail app and making use of the native email app to pull your emails.

I have been looking at the changes BT are bringing in when they move emails away from Yahoo. I currently use the Yahoo Mail app on my iphone. BT say they are not going to be introducing an app when emails are moved across. Does anyone know of any alternative apps? I do not want to use the email facility on the iphone as I would like access to my inbox and sent items and I would rather not have to keep sigining in to webmail to check for emails, the Yahoo App alerts to new emails.
The only option I can think of so far is to start again with a new Yahoo Mail account but then I would need to keep my BT email address with all my historic emails.You need to set it up to use IMAP. See this link how to do it

How to set password protection in iphone5 for yahoo mail app
I have password protection for my iPhone5. Is it possible to set a seperate password protection for my Yahoo mail account?
no. but if you protect your iPhone with a password, I don't think you need a separate one just for your email.

Clicking on "Compose", "Reply" or "Forward" in Yahoo Mail does not do anything. I troubleshot the problem with Yahoo directly and they feel that the issue is with Mozilla Firefox. I do not have this issue when using Internet Explorer. Other buttons in Yahoo Mail, such as "Delete" and "Move" do work.
I had the same problem and discovered it went away when I disabled the AVG Do Not Track extension on firefox.

ipad has stopped receiving email on mail app
Try this...
Double-click the Home button
Swipe left or right and find the Yahoo Mail app
Swipe up on the preview of the Yahoo Mail app to force quit it
Hold down on both the Home AND Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo on black screen (about 10 seconds).
When you see the Apple logo on the black screen, let go of both buttons.
After it restarts, launch Yahoo Mail and see if it works.
Hope this helps!

Mail App / Yahoo Account Issues
Getting an error "Login failed". If I try to update my password or even delete the email account, I get a "401 Unauthorized" warning.
If I try to remove the account under Accounts & Sync, it won't let me and says I have to reset the phone. (Yahoo email)
Anyone know how I can resolve this?I have two suggestions and a tidbit of information.
First like the other poster suggested don't use the email app from the phone (stock) secondly go to the Google play store and get the Yahoo Mail App as a stand alone.
Now the tidbit of information. If you had reason to read the news paper in your city, or online Yahoo Mail has had a security breach in that many customers accounts were accessed. They have sent out warning emails to users to have you change your password to Uppercase, lowercase, numbers and symbols to secure the accounts. A real hassle I know.
That could be part of the problem keeping the email account from messing up.
Good Luck -

Since iOS 8.1.2 upgrade problems with yahoo mail via apple mail client
Since the upgrade to iOS 8.1.2 on my iPad I'm having issues with my yahoo mail account when using the apple mail client. I can send emails but cannot receive them. When I use the yahoo mail app there is no problem Sending or receiving. I have deleted and reinstalled my yahoo email account from the apple mail client. I have checked the wifi by changing between wifi hotspots. I have also restarted the iPad as well as resetting. None of these actions have resolved the problem. would appreciate any assistance that can be provided.
Do you use two-step verification for your Yahoo! account? If yes, you need an app-specific password.
If no, make sure your password is already entered in the "Outgoing Mail Server" in the Settings app. -
How can I set Yahoo mail as my default mail application on Mac Mail?
I am trying to make Yahoo Mail (free version, not Yahoo mail Plus!) my default mail application. This would allow me to cick on any link sending e-mails and it will launch the yahoo mail application to send mail from there, obviously. For this to happen I need to open Mac "Mail > Preferences >" and choose "Default email reader" under the "General". I then choose the email application of my choice (Yahoo in my case). "GMail Notifier" for Google fans.
I am not able to find a Yahoo application mail in my application folder or on the Internet, and frankly speaking, Yahoo mail support absolutely suck, and getting a hold of them is nearly impossible! There is a free applet out there called "Yahoomailer" that might do the job, but either I am installing it wrong since when I download and click on it nothing happens, or it does not work properly on my machine. So, I am turning to the community to get some help with this issue. All I need is to know if there is a Yahoo mail app out there that can be installed on MAC and shows up on my Mail > Preferences > Default email reader.
Thank you,
I am using MAC OS X 10.8.2My tools menu does not show "options" as a choice - any idea why? Thanks

Settings won't save Yahoo mail after adding second verification?
My Yahoo email was hacked. Most of the emails in my Yahoo account were sent a spam mail from my Yahoo account.
As advised, I changed my password and added some extra security - a second verification so no one can login to my account without additional security questions or verification code.
No problem adding email back on my android phone. But my iPad and I can't figure it out.
I signed out of yahoo mail on iPad. Deleted the account in settings. Verified it was gone.
Added the account back in settings, or tried to. I get the message server unavailable. It won't save the new password. It won't trigger second verification.
I went through Safari and I can login to Yahoo mail on Safari.
I am also able to add the account to the yahoo mail app and use it. But my iPad is constantly asking for the password.
I'm hoping someone else has had a similar problem and solved it.I hope I have a self answering question.... Thanks to the "more like this" side bar.
the problem comes from your second sign-in verification, go to your setting in your yahoo account then go to Edit your account info, then go to Manage your app password a new page come out, go to the Manage your app passwords box and write " my iphone mail" then press generate password, this will give you a long password this password you gonna use it ones in your iphone and ones in your ipad.
then go to your iphone open setting then go to your emails,contacts, calender. Then press yahoo account and go to your yahoo account information, erase the old password and enter the new long password and done.
hope work for you guys, did work for me. -
HP 8600 scan to yahoo mail as .pdf gives error but opens in gmail outlook
I have scan opening problem with HP 8600. I can open any .pdf with no problem. I have Win 7 and current Adobe. But anything scanned by HP 8600 to yahoo mail gives...it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged...
When I scan to both gmail and yahoo, gmail opens with no problem but the yahoo mail gives the error message above. I have tried on numberous PCs and with at least 3 different yahoo users. To make this even more puzzling, I can forward the same email with attachment from gmail to yahoo and the attachment will now open, but the scan sent directly to yahoo mail still will not open.. looking for answers, not work arounds. I have already reinstall the printer.
I can also forward the yahoo mail .pdf attachment that will not open to gmail and it opens!Hi d4ny_79,

Importing Entourage 2008 mailboxes into Mail.app loses message flags
I'm in the process of migrating my data from Entourage 2008 to Mail, iCal and Address Book. The problem is that when I use Mail.app's built-in import from Entourage feature, the messages lose their flag status (read, unread, replied, forwarded, etc) in Mail.app. Does anyone know of a way to preserve this information? Cheers
Well there are some suggested solutions on here if you search for them. Hoever, I eventually worked around it by just importing a section of my old email at a time. A bit tedious, but it worked.
