Forwarding mail from my .Mac accout to Yahoo

Hi there,
Is there any reason why I can't forward my .mac mail to my yahoo account..?
I've changed preferences in .mac redirecting it to my yahoo account but nothing happens..?
Confusing but I'm trying to get replies from my website to go through my web host, which then forwards the message to my .mac account (webhost doesn't allow direct forwarding to yahoo due to spam issues) then I've set up my.mac account to forward to yahoo.
The mail arrives ok in my .mac but then stops there and duplicate messages are received..?...an error 550 and .. while talking to mx1.biz.mail.yahoo.com.:message appears...
Nothing arrives in Yahoo account...?
Any help much appreciated..
Cheers..

Hi Mark.
To elaborate on what m.bode said, you can create mailboxes on the server, just like you can create mailboxes locally on your computer, by choosing the associated IMAP or .Mac account instead of “On My Mac” from the Location popup menu in the New Mailbox dialog box. You can then move your messages there. Mail Help has some articles that explain how to do this, e.g.:
Creating a mailbox
Organizing your email
Instead of moving all the messages directly in a single operation, however, you may want to try copying them first, to avoid losing them if something goes wrong and the messages cannot be transferred to the server for some reason. You may tell Mail to copy the messages instead of moving them by holding the Option (Alt) key down when you drag them or by doing Message > Copy To instead of Message > Move To.
That said, once an IMAP or .Mac account has at least one custom server-stored mailbox, a globe icon appears in the mailbox list to group the custom mailboxes associated with that account and differentiate them from the “On My Mac” mailboxes. This allows you to easily copy all the local mailboxes and their contents to the server by just dragging them to the globe icon, without having to manually create the mailboxes on the server nor transfer the messages there one mailbox at a time.

  • Sending mail from a .mac accout on mail

    I am having a terrible time sending email from my .mac account in mail. I just sent an email. It took forever and kept saying "sending". Then it kept asking for the password. I then stopped it. It never showed up in the sent box (even though it is supposed to, as other emails do), but my husband received it twice. Sometimes I can send no problem, other times, I get this type of hassle.
    Any suggestions or help? My server settings are:
    incoming mail server: mail.mac.com
    outgoing: smtp.mac.com
    server port: 587
    ssl: on
    authentication: password
    my name & password.
    (I also have a pop account. That is another mess as embark cannot get my settings correct and they just told me you cannot have two pop accounts on a mac?)
    Thank you!!!
    Sue

    A bunch of us were having trouble with using smtp.mac.com as the outgoing mail server. From very slow to never sending mail. I was going to suggest that you use your ISP as your outgoing server that way you use port 25 - then I see that you are having trouble with them also. I don't know about embark, but most ISPs use mail.XXXXXX.com or mail.XXXXXX.net as their incoming and outgoing server. You might try that with NO authentication and using port 25.
    Embark is WRONG about how many POP Accounts you can have in Mail. I have two myself, and they work fine. Just be sure to have a DIFFERENT Account Name for all your POP Accounts.

  • Why is it when I forward mails from my MAc, PC users don't receive the entire message.

    Help!! Why is it when I send and emial out from my Mac, the other party can't receive the entire message?

    You have two different issues: HP and Canon.
    I don't know if I believe the Canon people. Windows XP has lots of different print options. Try installing Bonjour on Windows and then setting up a networked, Color Apple Laserwriter PS printer using "http://macmini.local:631" (assuming macmini is the name of your Mac). I have done this before (though not on a Canon). I am sure Canon will only support a standard configuration and this is not quite standard. Give it a try. It doesn't sound like it can hurt anything in your current setup.
    For the HP, you might have to just wait for an updated driver from HP. HP has always had this problem. They are a huge printer company and I'm sure they get Apple hardware and OS versions before anybody else in the world. And yet, it seems as if they don't even begin working on their drivers until Apple officially releases a new OS. HP drivers are always the last to show up for a new OS and the first to break. If you get it working under MacOS 10.4.6, and then upgrade to 10.4.7, it is very likely that the HP drivers will stop working.
    Unlike some of the other big companies, HP seems to have made the transition from Classic MacOS to MacOS X seamlessly. Their printer driver software works just as well on MacOS X as it did under MacOS.

  • Transferring Mail from one Mac to another via Screen Sharing

    Hi,
    I live in California. My Mother lives in Montreal. She has to computers. A Mac Mini and new MacBook.
    What I want to do is transfer her Mail from the Mac Mini to the MacBook via Screen Sharing or Remote Management. In other words, I want to do this from my computer.
    How does one go about this? What somewhere is needed to make it all work?
    Thanks in advance.

    you can't screen share between 3 computers. but you can between two. the easiest way is via ichat. users need to log into ichat on both computers and then you can send a request to share screen via ichat. it's also possible to do it without ichat but that might be more difficult that your mother can manage if she is not too computer savvy which I suspect is the case here. first she has to enable screen sharing in her system preferences->sharing. that's easy. but if she has a router (does she) then she need to port forward port public port 5900 on the router to the port 5900 on her computer so that you can get through the router when trying to screen share from outside. particular instructions on port forwarding depend on the router model. once the port is forwarded you can vnc to here computer from where you are by going to go menu-.connect to server in finder. then in the popup enter
    vnc://ip.address
    where the ip.address is the ip address of her router. she can find it out by going to this website for example
    http://www.whatismyip.com/
    but all in all, it's much easier with ichat as no port forwarding is required.

  • Not able to open mail from my mac, gmail repeatedly asking for password. but using same password able to open gmail on safari

    not able to open mail from my mac, gmail repeatedly asking for password. but using same password able to open gmail on safari

    okay well they got me to take out some .plist files to see if that would help it didn't. I'm not sure what ones that they deleted for my self maybe someone here would be abel to tell you what ones to take out but didn't work the one that came close to working was this going into keychain and deleting the account(s) then reading them again.
    if you are to do this please back up first with Time Machine. You can do this with a usb drive.
    Okay so go back to where you had internet accounts and make sure mail is shut. click the - on the account your having problems with then quit system preferences.
    Okay so then press cmd and space bar at the same time then type 'keychain access' into the search then click on 'keychain access'
    once it is open go to the top of the window and put your email address that you are having problems with.
    once you have put in your full email, have a look at what comes up i deleted things in the kind colome with 'internet password' and anything with under name that had smtp.gmail.com or imap.gmail.com so it would look like this, map.gmail.com - internet password.
    right click and delete them. make sure not to touch any other files that dont say them things on them.
    Once you have done this quit keychain access and then restart the computer, once the computer is restarted go back to system preferences and internet accounts and re-add the account.
    Hope this helps. if something is not clear just ask.

  • Import Archived Mail from another Mac

    Hi Folks -
    I have a large mail database in Apple Mail from another Mac (with Mavericks).  I would like to bring the mail messages over to a different Mac with Yosemite and into Apple Mail, so they are local and searchable in Spotlight.  I was think I just have to copy the database from the ~/Library/Mail to the new Mac, but I'm not sure if I should be doing an import function in Mail.
    Can anyone advise on the best workflow to migrate Mail messages to a new Mac?  Note: I would like to keep all the existing Mail messages that are already residing on the new Mac and add to them with the above mentioned archive.
    Thanks
    Paul

    Copy and then Import. You will probably end up with 2 archives, which you can combine by copying from one archive (hold down the shift key while selecting the e-mails) to the other. Then you can delete the empty archive mailbox.

  • When exporting and then importing Apple Mail from one mac to another I get "Some messages could not be imported. Partially imported mailbox will be labeled IMPORT" . That mailbox does not appear.

    When exporting and then importing Apple Mail from one mac to another I get "Some messages could not be imported. Partially imported mailbox will be labeled IMPORT" . That mailbox does not appear.
    Any help would be welcome

    This is a bug in Mail. The mailbox archiving function does not include attachments, which  gives the error with the import. To workaround this you can create a mailbox in Mail and copy to it all emails you want to export. Then go in Finder to [user]/Library/Mail/Mailboxes en select the created mailbox. Copy this to the public directory of your other mac. Then start Mail on that other mac and import the mailbox from the public directory. Should work now.

  • Mail forwarding & "Mail from"

    Hello,
    For some users, I need to forward emails to their personal address.
    I've a contact which is "[email protected]". The principal SMTP address is "[email protected]".
    The sender of an email is "[email protected]".
    When "[email protected]" send email to "[email protected]", the mail il forwardded to "[email protected]", but during SMTP dialog, you can see "MAIL FROM: [email protected]", which send email from the Exchange Server
    of "mycompany.com"... so the mail is refused.
    Is it possible, for example with a transport agent, to forward mail "FROM: [email protected]", with "REPLY TO: [email protected]"?
    Thanks!

    Hi Jean-Luc,
    once I was required to resolve the same issue, and I did it as on one of the examples from https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124347.aspx
    An example how to do that for a specific address can be found on https://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/library/bb123966%28v=exchg.141%29.aspx .
    Example:
    new-AddressRewriteEntry –Name "rewriting rule" 
    -InternalAddress [email protected] –ExternalAddress [email protected] -OutboundOnly $true
    The main issue with that, from my view, is that you are using an  external sender address to rewrite. That may result in addiitonal problems with Spam and Blacklisting.

  • Mime attachments in Mail from two mac users

    I've been receiving mime attachments in Tiger Mail from Ebay and members for a while and I've searched the forum for answers but haven't found a viable solution yet. I end up using TextEdit to open them. I've contacted ebay about this and they have no clue, and think it's spam even though I tell them I get them from Ebay tech support, however they do show up ok in my RCN webmail when I check there.
    Anyway that's not the problem now, I was trying to troubleshoot my father's mail problem who is Panther Mail and it mysteriously stopped working for him a couple days ago both sending and receiving. However he is getting them from his webmail at SBC/Yahoo formerly Ameritech. I checked his account settings over the phone and they seemed correct to what he had before but I had him contact his provider.
    They don't seem to know what's going on and wanted him to contact Apple.I had him contact them again and they finally did have him change his outgoing mail server from Ameritech to SBC/Yahoo. So he is able to send from there now but not receive emails. ( he still still sends and receives ok at his webmail site) . Since they changed the outgoing mail server however, the email he sends me (all plain text) is coming now as a mime attachment.
    I've never seen this before from two Mac users using Mail and plain messages. I had him try changing back to the Ameritech outgoing sever but that still doesn't work. And again if I check my RCN webmail I can view these messages fine in the body of the email there, just not in Mail. Any ideas what may have caused this? Is it because of the Yahoo outgoing mail server? He's about givin up and has resorted to his webmail only for now. I generally like Mail but this is a pia.

    The iSync does not quite fix what I'm seeking...a way to merge, not replace, all of my various e-mails that I send on different macs in my home. So, for instance, if I send an e-mail on one of them, I'd like to find that e-mail on my other two.

    If you adopt the IMAP account approach first - as long as the IMAP account does not have the same user name and incoming mail server as the POP type account which will allow for creating the IMAP account with the POP account, you can transfer messages from the POP account's Inbox and Sent mailbox to the IMAP account's Inbox and Sent mailbox on each Mac.
    There is no way to merge mailboxes. You can use the Import Mailboxes feature to import the account's Inbox and Sent mailbox from one Mac to another and then transfer messages from the imported mailboxes to the account's Inbox and Sent mailbox in Mail on each Mac.
