Have Yahoo Mail Plus Help

Logging in to mail server “plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com” failed. This server may require an additional fee for Yahoo! POP access. For more information, visit Yahoo! Mail Plus. If you continue, you might not be able to receive messages.

You were right on about this. I found the following at this site: http://webnet77.com/secure-email.html. Not sure how easy it is to have the "ability to listen in," but best not to take chances.
When a mailbox is popped using standard POP3 protocol, the username and password are sent in the clear over the internet. This means, that anyone with the ability to "listen in" on your mail client's login session with your mail server can easily retrieve your username and password as well as read your email. In addition, once they have your password, they could read your email without your knowledge or permission or they could even send SPAM email from your account, possibly getting you into serious trouble since spamming is a crime in most Western countries these days.
The best way to ensure no one can get your password (at least not without going to a huge amount of trouble) is to POP your email using a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) connection. This means that all data exchanged between your mail client and the server is encrypted with a digital security certificate making it [pretty close to] impossible for anyone with malicious intentions to steal your email and/or password.
Thanks again!

Have Yahoo Mail Plus, which does not allow ads. When on my work computer and log into my Yahoo account, ads do appear?? This does not happen on Explorer. Help

Have a Yahoo Mail Plus account, which does not allow for ads. It works fine on Explorer, but when used on Firefox the same ads always appear both at the top and left margins "Dr. Oz New Weight Loss Secret". Yahoo says it is a Firefox issue. Please help.

another thing you can try is to [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]].
in case there are still adverts shown in places where they aren't supposed to be afterwards, it sounds like an issue with malware on the system. please run a full scan of your pc with the security software already in place and different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx microsoft safety scanner] or [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan].

E63 Yahoo email set up without Yahoo mail plus

Is there a way to set up Yahoo mail to my E63 device without a Yahoo mail plus account?
I have a standard Yahoo mail account. When I go to mail options, and trying to set up POP & Forwarding, I will not be able to do anything without upgrade to mail plus. Is there a way to get around this? I do not want to use Yahoo mobile either. Thanks for your help.

I use emoze and have tried seven. Seven works great but drains battery and uses lots of memory. Emoze mail will work with yahoo regular mail. http://www.emoze.com/. http://www.seven.com/. Both work great. Seven integrates a little better into native messaging application with contacts but I prefer emoze.

Setting up Yahoo Mail Plus account?

I recently purchased my first Mac Book Pro. I use Yahoo Mail Plus as my email account. At the Apple store they were unable to set my email up so that I could access it through the Mac mail app. I have to access it through my Yahoo browser. Yahoo has been no help and so far 3 customer service people at the Apple store have failed. Any suggestions??

after reading how free accounts works fine and plus accounts tends not to, i think its safe to say this is a yahoo problem. the iphone yahoo wizard is probably meant for free accounts, but plus accounts are setup differently.

Problems with Yahoo Mail Plus

I have a Yahoo Mail Plus account and I can get my mail through Outlook 2007 without any problem, but I cannot receive (muchless send) any e-mail on my iPod Touch.
My incoming mail server is plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com and my outgoing mail server is plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com. I've deleted and recreated my account on my Touch, and I've deleted my account and had it recreated when I've synced with iTunes. Neither of these methods have worked. My password is correct and I know I've got a WiFi connection because I can go anywhere I like on the internet using Safari.
Can anybody help me? Please???

Try this:
1.) Go to settings (or if you don't have an account setup, just go to the mail app)
2.) Don't touch the yahoo icon. Hit "other"
3.) Select POP from the top 3 buttons
4.) enter your name, email address ([email protected]) and your password
5.) Enter the host name for the incoming mail server (for yahoo mail, it should be "pop.mail.yahoo.com ". Enter your user name (without the @yahoo.com) and then enter your password you use.
6.) Enter the host name for the outgoing mail server. It should be "smtp.mail.yahoo.com "
This was posted by a friend that said he got it working this way - I have not tested as I have no Yahoo! account.
Here is another set of instructions I found online - again, NOT tested by me.
1) Open yahoo mail
2) Click "options" tab in upper right corner
3) In center column click "pop access and fowarding"
4) Make sure there is a blue dot where it says Web and POP access, if not click there so that it does. You may also decide your spam choices here.
5) Click "save" in upper left corner underneath where it says mail
Now go back to your touch
1) open settings on the touch
2) tap mail
3) tap add account
4) tap other
5) tap POP
6) put your name in
7) add your yahoo email address
8) it will show your yahoo account again as the description
9) under incoming server mail host name, type in pop.mail.yahoo.com
10) type in your user name
11) type in your password
12) under outgoing mail server host name, type in smtp.mail.yahoo.com:465
13) type in your user name
14) type in your password
15) tap advanced
16) under advanced make sure that SSL is on, authentication is set to password
and that the server port is 995 for incoming and 465 for outgoing

In Yahoo mail plus no pics come into inbox or pics won't open

When using yahoo mail plus in fire fox latest version, no pics come into my inbox or they won't open..yahoo mail plus pics are ok in IE7 or using firefox and gmail...dunno..when I was forced to upgrade by yahoo to latest version of mail plus it won't work anymore.

thanks very much pascal - appreciate the help.
i think i'll have to do a custom install from disk. is there anything i need to do/be aware of with the mail folder before i do the install? should i leave it in homefolder/library (once i've backed it up that is)?
will the new mail app just `talk` to the old mail folder once installed?
just want to avoid any probs and getting myself into further tangles once i do this.
thanks very much,

Can't Send Using Yahoo Mail Plus Account

I'm a Yahoo Mail Plus subscriber and am having problems sending mail with the Apple iPhone. I only have this problem with my Yahoo Mail Plus account. A second (free) Yahoo account works fine, as does a GMail account.
Other Yahoo Mail Plus users are reporting the same issue:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ag8uQ.z8gmrVYBymDwJR4V4jzKIX?qid=20 070704183341AAtwv1J
and
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmTc9jW..OVhgxNaeShTn4ojzKIX?qid=20 070705064711AAuaye0
My problem is that when I send an e-mail on my Yahoo Mail Plus account, it is not received by the recipient, nor does a copy appear in my sent mail folder on the Yahoo server. I don't receive any error message -- the mail just never is sent.
I spoke with an Apple store genius and he suggested deleting the Yahoo Mail Plus account settings on my iPhone and then setting it up again. I did this and it worked for the first 2-3 messages, but did not work again after that (once I had already ended my Genius Bar appointment). I tried deleting my Yahoo Mail Plus account settings a second time later and got the same result -- I was able to send 1-2 messages but none after that.
My other free Yahoo Mail account is working fine on the iPhone (send/receive) as is a GMail account. And all accounts work properly when accessed directly via a web browser.
Apple has a support doc about sending e-mail on the iPhone, but this relates to ISP port blocking and doesn't seem to apply to my situation as it happens in various locations with different WiFi providers, as well as when on AT&T's Edge network.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305634
I even had the problem in the Apple store using their WiFi network, which presumably doesn't have port issues.
Anyone else having the same problem? Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I have Yahoo Mail synced on my new macbook pro. Keeps asking for password

I have Yahoo Mail synced on my new macbook pro. It it consistently asking to re-enter the password. Does anyone else have this problem? I have deleted it and reinstalled it several times. It did not do this on my previous macbook.

Does anyone else have this problem?
There are several similar reports on this site every day.
I've never used Yahoo mail and my knowledge of it is second-hand. This is what I've been able to gather.
If you have a free Yahoo account, POP access to incoming mail from a mail client such as Apple Mail is not supported. A free account is accessible only through IMAP (and then perhaps only on mobile devices — the documentation is unclear) or the web interface.
As for a paid Yahoo account, or an account through an ISP such as AT&T, you must enable POP access through the web interface. I've seen reports that you must periodically (every two weeks?) log in to the "Manage Account" page on the website to confirm your identity.
I've also seen reports that eliminating all UPPER CASE letters from the password, and shortening it to no more than 7 characters, may help. That's barely, if at all, adequate for security, and you must be sure to choose the password randomly. It should not be easy to type or remember.
That said, so many problems with Yahoo mail are reported that I can't recommend using Mail as a client for it. You might get better results with another mail client, such as Thunderbird. If not, just use the webmail interface. That's how it was designed to work. Better yet, don't use Yahoo at all.

Are there adv/disadv to Yahoo Mail Plus v. using basic mail progr w iMac

I am brand new Mac user, switching from Dell laptop to iMac. Have had mail sent through Yahoo Mail Plus to Outlook for years. Unsure whether this is good idea now that I'm switching to iMac. Yahoo subscription due immediately so need to make decision. Thanks!

Hey Adorone,
This is the iPhone Mail, Contacts and Calendar forum. The Forum for 10.5 Mail and Address Book is located here: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1223
If you want to keep using the email client on your computer and not using the web based mail, you'll need the Yahoo! Mail Plus service. With that service you get POP access.
You can enter the POP information in the Mail.app in Mac OS X, like you entered in Outlook.

Palm Centro Issue With Yahoo Mail Plus POP via Versamail

I have a Palm Centro and have been using Versamail for 3 1/2 years with my Yahoo Mail Plus account via POP. On September 12th I stopped having the ability to send or receive POP email on my Yahoo Mail Plus account. I have spoken with Sprint & Yahoo. I have done all the steps they have asked and I have even gone as far as replacing my phone with another Palm Centro and still have the same issue. I know the config is correct as it was working for so long. I can use my Gmail POP in Versamail fine. I receive the error when setting up the Yahoo Mail Plus account in Versamail when I click on "Test Settings" I receive the following... "Error connecting to server. Please check your network or server settings and re-sync." Does anyone have any ideas about this? Thanks.
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

actually some e-mail providers like yahoo free account, msn mail and free hot mail does not work with the mail application, as you told me that it needs to enable the pop server for such mail
and about the iphone are you sure that ur using the mail application in iphone, you must be using safari to browse through ur mails
yahoo mail plus is compatible with the mail application but it comes for a price so here you could either use safari to go through your mail or go in for some other free account like AOL which will work with the mail application

Anyone using Yahoo Mail Plus?

Hello!
I would like to know what your experiences have been using Yahoo Mail Plus with Mail on your Mac.
I am considering upgrading to Yahoo Mail Plus as my ISP has some wonky settings for their mail servers and at times important email doesn't get through. Thus I think that some contract and employment opportunities have been missed.
I acknowledge that web based email is akin to postcards, but security is not really the issue. The issue is getting my communications and anyone who has emailed me via Yahoo has always gotten through.
Any and all comments welcome, as well as suggestions.
Thanks,
Norm

Yahoo Mail Plus - Push experiences?

Has anybody here had contact with Apple/Yahoo regarding the ability to mave a Mail Plus account and push? I was told by Yahoo customer service that I could have a Plus account and Push email, but this is in conflict with others' observations. Somebody from Apple is also working on this, but I haven't heard anything back in a couple days. (That's pretty normal for Yahoo, but Apple is usually very good about getting things resolved or at least keeping me updated.)
I have a Mail Plus account that does push, albeit very infrequently, and never reliably. I'm generally required to manually refresh since there is no option to periodically poll. I have full access to all of my folders, etc... and everything works as it should except for the lack of push.

I figured out a way to get Yahoo mail to push to the iPhone consistently. It appears that Yahoo Mail Beta is causing the problem. I was only getting 10% of the emails pushed to me, but when I switched my mail back to Yahoo Mail classic (you can do this by clicking on a link at the top of your email screen when logged into directly to the webmail application), I have now gotten 100% of my mail pushed for two days solid. You just need to login and change to Yahoo Mail classic, and then delete your Yahoo account on your iPhone, recreate it, and reboot the iPhone.

Yahoo Mail Plus popping from Exchange Server 2003 Issue

Hi, while I know that this is a little off topic, I really want to try the Yahoo direct push email solution with my iPhone. My problem is that when I configure the Yahoo Mail Plus service to retrieve emails from my corporate exchange server, it fails with a time-out error message. The really confusing part with all of this is that Gmail works perfectly. I know that I am put in the correct parameters, since Gmail has no problem popping my email from the exchange server. Is there anything special I need to have done to make this work? Here's a sample of the information I am using to configure Yahoo to retrieve my email:
Server: mail.corporateserver.com
port #: 995 (secure pop 3)
username: same as my domain name in MS Active Directory
password: same as used to login to MS Active Directory.
Again, this configuration works perfectly on Gmail. If Gmail could push to my iPhone, I would just stick with it. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jules
