Help! Syncing yahoo mail to mac mail

trying to sync mac mail to ymail. not sure how to fill out all the fields for "add an account". do i use "pop" or "imap" for incoming and how do i fill out field? do i use smptauth, etc for outgoing and (again) how exactly do i fill out field boxes? i was synced to earthlink for a few years, but now am on satellite wildblue and using free yahoo mail. any help gratefully appreciated - all i keep getting every time i attempt to set this up is "ymail server not responding" etc. so i figure i'm doing something wrong! also - i have NOT deleted my earthlink account settings yet.

You can't. Yahoo Plus only offers POP access. To do what you want, you'll need an email provider who offers email via IMAP.

Syncing Yahoo Mail and Mac Mail

I upgraded to Yahoo Mail Pro in order to use my Yahoo Mail through Mac Mail. When I delete an email through Safari/Yahoo, Mac Mail does not reflect that. How can I sync the two so that what I do in one occurs in the other? Further, for some reason all but four of my emails got deleted out of my Safari/Yahoo account. How the heck did that happen?

Can anyone help with Yahoo mail deactivation?

Within the last 24 hours, my Yahoo plus email account was deactivated for some reason. I signed into Yahoo mail directly and got the notice. The thing is, I paid my $19.99 a few days ago and received a notice that I had done so. Based on the reasons for "deactivation, " my account should not have been deactivated. Here's some other info:
I successfully signed into my email account as recently as two days ago using Safari but I also use mail on my Mac mail program to retrieve and send messages.
Over the last several months I noticed that my contacts no longer "auto-filled" when on the Yahoo mail website (have no idea if this is related to Safari or Yahoo).
I've lost all my contacts and emails but have most of them on my Mac mail program. I'm afraid to sync anything because I don't want to lose it all!
When I reactivated my account, I changed my password because I was afraid I could have been hacked though I have no evidence of that.
I cannot reach a human at Yahoo though I've tried. I am tempted to walk into their headquarters with laptop and cell phone in hand...
Would love your help!

Hi Winnie,
I'm having the same problemwith the deactivation of my account, except it's the free mail account. At least Yahoo's stuff-ups are egalitarian!
If I lived closer to Yahoo's HQ, I'd join you on the walk. Deactivation shouldn't occur without warnings and explanations - I've received neither.
I've tried using their feedback form, asking and answering questions on Yahoo Answers and using the Yahoo Customer Care twitter feed, all to no avail.
At the very least, you should demand financial compensation as you have paid for the service. I'm probably stuck with no recourse.
Sorry I couldn't help, but hopefully you've got some extra ammo when you do finally get through to someone.

Cannot sync Yahoo mail

I have 3 e-mail accounts and had no trouble syncing my g-mail and outlook e-mail accounts, but for some reason I cannot sync my yahoo verizon.net to my new Nokia 822. I have tried multiple times and the only way I can see my yahoo mail is to log on via the web browser and pin this site to the start menu, but there has to be a way to add this account via e-mail settings. Any help with this would be appreciated!

Do it manually then
Go to Settings > Emails and Accounts > Advanced Setup > Internet email account
Scroll down and follow the instructions for Manually Advanced Setup
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/how-to/wp8/people/set-up-or-delete-an-email-account
For Incoming email server type in pop.mail.yahoo.com
For Outgoing (SMTP) email server *- smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Everything else should be self explanatory
btw after step 3 it will ask for SSL authentication. Check mark for both

Cannot sync yahoo mail on htc one M8

I just got my htc one m8 and I'm trying to get everything setup. I've set up my other email accounts on exchange but when I try to sync my yahoo mail it does not work. I enter my user/pass and it says checking account settings... Then after a minute or so I get a message that says Cannot connect to the remote server. Please check the network settings and then try again.
To be clear, I'm on wifi and my network is working fine for everything except this. Any ideas what may be causing it?

looks like a quick google search solved my issue. You have to set it up manually. The server address and port #'s are wrong by default. If anyone else has the issue you can follow these instructions.

Trouble syncing yahoo mail

When trying to add a yahoo mail account to my iphone 4, I keep either getting a message that I need to provide a password, but when I do, during the verification process, another message popps, asking me to log in to my yahoo mail on my PC first, and then access yahoo on my iphone. I am logged in my yahoo mail on my PC, tried logging out and then back in, but nothing seems to work - I get the same messages all the time. Also, while trying to access yahoo mail through safari on the iphone, I also get an error message asking me to log in through my PC. What do I do?

Hey Jaybird,
iTunes will sync Yahoo! contacts to the iPhone, not calendars or notes.
+You can also sync contacts with your Yahoo! Address Book+ http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386

Help with yahoo mail

I have yahoo mail installed on both my iPad and IPhone. Yesterday I logged into yahoo mail from a third computer. I have since logged out, but am unable to send or receive e mails on my pad and phone. Help!

I'd suggest you check with Yahoo (after checking your settings on your devices) as it should not matter from which device you are accessing it (if you are accessing it on their website) - as long as you sign in/out; I've used several different devices and it's been fine.

TS3899 Help with yahoo mail

Why has my iPad suddenly asked me for a password for yahoo mail. I've never needed one before and now I can't access my emails.

Try removing your yahoo account, then readd it. They've had some issues in the past with their upgrades and sometimes the best way around it is to just start over

Help: POP Yahoo mail redownloading EVERYTHING

Hi,
When I installed Leopard with a fresh copy and setup my Apple Mail with Yahoo (via pop) all my messages began to download and were mark unread. Of course this was a hassle to go through each email again, but that's what you get with POP. Since then, everything has been sorted out, however, for no apparent reason today my Apple Mail client began redownloading EVERYTHING! What happened? Is there anyway to tell Apple mail to stop?
Thanks,
TM

I have the same issue. With Yahoo, with Leopard and with Tiger. Now and then Mail wants to re-download all of the Yahoo emails - and right now there are 15000 or so.
There is no way to stop it - so I created a mail rule to filter everything older than a week into a "yahoo and mail screwed up again" folder. This is not a solution, but does solve one symptom. It does not solve the use of bandwidth issue though, and I do not want to delete my Yahoo emails as they make a handy backup.

Help: Syncing Curve 8330 with Mac OS 10.4!

Hi... I posted something months ago, but never got an answer -- and REALLY need to fix this!
Got Curve 8330s for my mother and myself in 08/2009 -- I have a PC, she has a Mac with OS 10.4 (Tiger). She has NEVER been able to sync her BB with her Mac. Pocket Mac didn't work, so she never got her contacts from her Yahoo account into her Curve, then DTM (finally) came out -- but since she doesn't have the right OS, we can't install that.
So...
1) Can we do anything, short of spending another $500 to upgrade her OS to Snow Leopard? (Oh yeah, she'd need to get more RAM at the same time to make that work... this just keeps getting better.)
2) Is DTM for Macs still wiping everyone's BlackBerrys? Has this been fixed? Or is this all a big waste of time?
Needless to say, we're both quite unhappy to have spent so much time and effort on this (I'm her de facto IT person), especially after purchasing the devices and contracts so recently. And I'm having my own issues over on the PC side.
We don't WANT iPhones. We LIKE Verizon, and love having each having a BB -- but as others have said, it would be nice to make them actually talk to our computers... and we can't shell out any more money at all right now.
Thanks in advance for your help! And how do we actually get RIM to do anything about this issue?

How did you come up with $500? Is your friend on an intel mac? If it is intel mac, the upgrade to SL is about $30. The cost of ram is <$100.

Yahoo mail will not accept password on new iphone 5

Yahoo mail will not accept my password and load e-mails. What to do?

I e-mailed Yahoo for help with Yahoo mail and was given the following instructions: Remove Yahoo account from your iPhone, turn the phone off and back on, and then re-add to trigger a re-sync on your Yahoo acccount. This worked with no problem!! I was also given a link for a Yahoo Help article which I have included below. For those of you who are having issues, I hope this solves them!

I accidentally deleted my synchronized yahoo mail folder

Do I need to create a new folder for my synced yahoo mail - I accidentally deleted the folder when I was trying to "clean up" my yahoo mail folders.

Load your backup for the entire iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in the iPhoto library - that is why you have a backup to protect against hardware, software and human failures

Can I sync Mac mail w/iphone and Yahoo mail?

I'm used to checking my Yahoo mail on my Mac using the mail program (not Mobile Me). Now that I've got an iPhone it checks it on Yahoo mail and uses Yahoo mail folders. I've got lots of stuff stored on my Mac in mail folders and still prefer to check my mail there. When I send a mailnote from my Mac it, obviously, doesn't show up in my sent mail in Yahoo. Is there a way to sync all of this? I really prefer the Mac mail interface than Yahoo's web browser interface. Also, the filters (a.k.a. rules) work way better in Mail.
Thoughts or am I missing something?
Thanks.
-Robin

Robin,
iTunes will sync the email account settings to the iPhone, not the actual emails and folders.
When you setup the account on the iPhone, by tapping Add Account> Yahoo!> entering you account info, it is setup as a IMAP account.
Heres a thread discussing not being able to setup up a Yahoo! IMAP account on a Mac or PC: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1020969
You can contact Yahoo! support here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/
Also you can workaround the issue by setting up a MobileMe or Gmail IMAP account.

After Mac OS X 10.6.3 upgrade can't access Yahoo mail and repeatedly get message ""Sorry, we are over capacity. Please wait a moment and try again." Help, please,

After Mac OS X 10.6.3 upgrade can't access Yahoo mail and repeatedly get message ""Sorry, we are over capacity. Please wait a moment and try again." Help, please.

Did you run all the software updates after the 10.6.3 update, especially this one which will bring you up to 10.6.8.
Mac OSX 10.6.8 V1.1 Combo update
Run software update, starting with the one above.
Then call your provider and ask them what is going on. They have probably changed POP to IMAP, 10.6.8 supports IMAP
