Help setting on Yahoo! mail account.

When I go to make a new acount in Mail it asks me for
Account Type: (.Mac, POP, IMAP, EXCHANGE)
Account Discription:
Full Name:
Username:
Password:
I have a Yahoo! Mail account and I'm quite sure that it's a POP server. So when I choose the POP server it asks for my Account Discription which is default "POP ACCOUNT" and than my namw and e-mail address...So i enter my E-mail address and hit continue.
The next step is to set up your Incoming Mail Server. This is where I get stuck. I don't know what server yahoo works off of...is it just "mail.yahoo.com" i'm not sure! but when I do enter "mail.yahoo.com" and than my password it says..
"The POP server “mail.yahoo.com” is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the “Incoming Mail Server” field. If it still doesn’t respond, the server might be temporarily unavailable.
If you continue, you may not be able to receive any email."
Any imput would be appreciated!

I need help setting up a mail account

I have had a mac for a while and I am trying to set up an email account with mail. I click on the postage stamp and then I try to type in a username and password and it says mail.mac.com has failed and wont let me set up anything...Does anybody have a step by step instruction that could help me set one up....Also do you have to pay for the mail service? or is it like yahoo or Aol who offer free mail?

Hi,
Yes, .mac & .me are pay only, but if you don't have any email then I suggest a gMail account for free...

Not able to set up yahoo mail account : N8

I bought N8 just few days back.
I can able to set up Gmail account but not able to set up yahoo account.
It shows error:
Unable to connect with information provided. Try again ...
Please help..

I think you require a plus account to download mail to an email client incl a mobile phone, saying that though last year if you're in the UK you could download Yahoo mail without a plus account & I still do even though the Yahoo help pages say I require a paid account.
It may be that your username & password are incorrect or the settings are,
Here's what I have:
pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk, port 995, SSL on.
smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk port 465, SSL on.
Username is the usual - bit before the @.
Passwords might be case sensitive.
Hth,

Can't Set Up Yahoo Mail Account

Hi,
I have a @yahoo.com.au account and keep getting an error when trying to set it up using the Yahoo! Mail setup on the mail app. It keeps saying the username or password for "imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com".
I tried setting it up manually using POP, but while it can at least receive emails, it can't send!
Does anyone have a way of fixing either of these problems?
Thanks.

HI ...
Login to your Yahoo account on your computer to make sure the password is correct.
Does the password or Yahoo! ID have any special characters? Mobile devices can experience compatibility limits with passwords that contain special characters. If your password contains any special characters you can always log on to a computer and change your Yahoo password so to something that's more compatible.

Ask your systems or email administrator. Normally all colleges have "How to" guides either printed or available on the student Web site.

Need Help Setting Up Chattermail with AT&T Yahoo Mail Account

Ok... so I've spent half the day trying every possible permutation of my login, server name etc and I STILL can't get Chattermail to successfully log in.
This is a paid Yahoo mail account. The servers I succesfully use for my older 700w were: incoming: pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com, outgoing: smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com
I'm confused by the set up in chattermail. It doesn't have the servers marked as "outgoing" and "incoming" I've put the incoming server name in the "define" tab and the outgoing in the "smtp" tab.
I've tried both my entire email address and just the part before the "@" as my login. I also have the ssl boxes checked because my system seems to be using those.
I cannot get it to work. Does anyone have any ideas?

Download the yahoo email app, if you already deleted and reinstalled the email account and still have issue.
This is a known issue with Yahoo email account.

After updating my iPad 2 with os6 my yahoo mail accounts can't log me in as session time expires. When I try again as we'll as confirming my password etc I face the same problem. Any help or ideas?

After updating my iPad 2 with os6 I can't get into my yahoo mail accounts. After repeating the process I get session expired message or sometimes not even this message and just prompts me to re enter my password. I know there is no issue with username or password as it works on my PC without any issues.
Does anyone have an answer to this?

Thanks for your response, however my yahoo mail started to work as normal this morning! No explanation, even though I made several attempts during the past few days by trying to log in but to no avail. Yet today it suddenly worked...presto.
Prior to this I made a trip to the Apple store in London and chatted with a few staff about this issue yesterday and they could not help.....had two answers:
1. Check with yahoo and make sure you have not over stretched the number of accounts ( even though there are only two)
2. If you had backed up os5 on the computer, one could revert back to old software. Otherwise wait for Apple to fix issues as os6 is new.
*Be interesting to know if anyone else has had a similar fix without rhyme or reason?

HT3376 I have a Yahoo plus account. When I set up the mail account the Bulk Mail (Trash), Deleted Messages,Draft,Drafts,Junk, and Sent Folders all appear on my iPhone. Is there a way to prevent this?

I have a Yahoo Account. When I set up the mail account the Bulk Mail, Deleted Messages, Draft, Drafts, Junk, Sent, and Sent Messages appear on all of my iPhones, my PC, my Macbook and any other wifi product that receives mail. Can anyone tell me how to get rid of these duplicate mailbox folders??
Thanks

I just called apple care to even know how to respond to this answer. I am very old and this was my first post ever. I appreciate you taking the time to give me an answer. I also ask them how to delete this account because every time I log in it wants me to change my password and I have run out of passwords. I don't even know what it means when it ask me the community I want to be in.
The only thing I know about syncing is syncing my iPhone to my MacBook Pro. I apologize that I am so technically stupid. Does mail have syncing???
Thank you even if I never figure out how to get back to this site again.

Iphone 5...trouble setting up mutiple Yahoo mail accounts

The Iphone 5 allowed me to set up 1 Yahoo mail account.
When I tried to set up the secound it responds: "Yahoo sever unavailable".
I am able to leave the setup, go to Safari, find Yahoo mail and sign in....so the server is up and running....there is something about the Iphone.
any ideas?

Strange. I am also having problems setting up yahoo mail because I changed my password. Everything was working before I did that. There has been a yahoo problem on my iphone ever since I've had it. The mail app is so darn slow. Yahoo does have an app you can download and then drag it down onto the main dock at the bottom of your screen. That's what I did until someone responds with a possible solution. I also just emailed yahoo to let them know of the problem. Like that matters! LOL! I've emailed them before about this and it takes them weeks to get back to me. So ridiculous!

When trying to open my yahoo mail account, it just freezes on blank page, internet explorer opens it fine, this is the only site that has a prob for me

i can view the login page. I enter my login and pword. Then it just goes to a blank page. The tab at the top of the page and the address bar shows a continuous changing address and nothing happens

This is how I fixed it on my new iPhone 5S. Using the standard yahoo setting on my phone.
You will have to access "managing your app passwords" on your account profile for yahoo. Generate password for your app. For example: "My iPhone 5S'
Go to your Iphone and set up your yahoo mail account on your phone the normal way and you have to use the generated password. instead of the yahoo account password.

Can't set up new Mail accounts on N8

I want to add another email account to my N8 (and set it up as IMAP rather than POP3 if possible?) however, I have to set it up through the Wizard, there doesn't seem to be a way of manually setting one up since PR1.1 update (correct?)
However, whenever I try, my phone attempts to contact Nokia's mail server or something and says 'Preparing for setup' for ages then times out. It then asks me for a username and password, and the only options I get for setting up a mail account is a Microsoft Exchange Server option, which I don't think Yahoo mail offer!
Can anyone help?

Just a thought network access point is defined as Priority 1 in internet destinations rather than WLAN?

Have you tried setting up your Yahoo account using Mac Mail instead of dealing with web based mail?
It only takes a minute to set this up.
Open Mac Mail. From the menu bar top of your screen click Mail > Preferences then select the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.
Click +
Enter your name, Yahoo user name and password, click Create.
If you'd rather not do that, it would help to tell us which Mac OS X you have installed and which version of Safari in your reply.
