How do I set up an IMAP Yahoo! Beta mail account in MAIL app?

Hi there!
I would like to know how do I set up an IMAP mail account from Yahoo! Mail Beta in Mail app. Can someone help me?
THX!

Please disregard my post above. It appears that Yahoo does now indeed have IMAP access. From Wikipedia:
"Free IMAP and SMTPs access
It is possible to get direct IMAP access. Yahoo! operates IMAP and secure IMAP servers (imap.mail.yahoo.com in particular), which are globally accessible. However they require a specific, non-standard IMAP command to be sent before login is done, namely: “ID ("GUID" "1")”. This non standard command is not required if accessed from mobile networks, typically those used by smart phones on mobile carriers such as AT&T, T-Mobile, etc... For regular internet users, it is feasible to modify an open-source e-mail client to send the ID command, and there are modified versions of Mutt and Mozilla Thunderbird available to download.[25] Alternatively, one can connect an unmodified e-mail client through an IMAP proxy that adds the ID command. A commercial software package that accomplishes this is called 'Yahoo IMAP Connector',[26] available here. Mutt-dev (1.5) works without any modifications.
It is also possible to send mail through mail clients as Yahoo! also operates an SMTP server (smtp.mail.yahoo.com). It is necessary to enable SSL through port 465. For IMAP and SMTPS access the username is the user's Yahoo! Mail address and the password is the same as for webmail access.
Mac OS X users can directly set up an IMAP account in Apple Mail 4.4. After entering a full name, email address and password, hold down the Option key. The Create button will change to Continue, allowing one to manually configure the account settings."

How do I set the "reply to" field in the iPad 2 Mail app? I use an email forwarding service (not an actual email account) that I would like people to reply to.

How do I set the "reply to" field in the iPad 2 Mail app? I use an email forwarding service (not an actual email account) that I would like people to reply to, so setting up an account with the correct reply-to address doesn't work because there's no associated outgoing mail server. I had this working under iOS4 but it seems to have disappeared when I upgraded to iOS5.

Welcome to the forum, NicoleYM. I don't think the Touch Mail has as many options as the Mac Mail app. However, you could set a standard signature. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Signature. There you can type a reply address and hope people see it.
Alternatively, you can go to your GMail account in your web browser and click on Settings > Forwarding and POP/IMAP. There you will have an option to forward all emails (or only some, if you set up a filter) to your other address.
Good luck!

How do i set up three phones on one icloud account?

How do I set up three iphones on one icloud account? I do not want the contacts, data mixed

It's a bad idea if these phones belong to different people.... all of your information will be merged and everyone will have everyone's contacts and whatever else you are pushing to icloud.
However, all you need to do is go to settings>icloud and sign into the same account on all 3 phones.

Sbc Yahoo Mail Account in Mail

I was curious how I could set up my SBC Yahoo! mail in Apple Mail. What settings do I put for outgoing and incoming mail. What do I put for authentication?

Thanks, You know..... it happened with me once before when I first use the windows live mail client.... I contacted yahoo staff and they replied with the same as you replied......( I thought that there is way to do what I wanted )...
By the way they advised me, if I wanted to get my folders .... I have to MOVE messages from specific folder to INBOX then SYNC imail then CREATE folder in imail with the same name as in my yahoo and so on !!!!
OK, if there are ways to sync the WINDOWS LIVE MAIL accounts and its folders, it will be great..... Does anyone know HOW TO ?

HT3376 i need to add a new imap mail account and Mail automatically creates a pop one. what should I do? thank you

I need to create a new imap mail account in Mail and the program automatically creates a pop one.

Thank you for your help.

Hello, on about the second step, it doesn't give you a choice of POP, IMAP, or Exchange? Or does it change it to POP if you choose IMAP anyway?
Who is your eMail provider, the part after the @ sign?

When I try to set up e-mail accounts the mail settings icon goes back to main screen. I have tried restoring and the same thing happens.

I have a new ipad2 3G and have a vodafone sim. Internet is working, but when I try to follow instructions to set up e-mail accounts (Settings/Mail Settings) it pops back to the main menu screen. I have restored and checked that restrictions are set to off, but still the same thing happens.

If you selected open a new Apple ID account, go back a step and enter use existing Apple ID.
You will have to set up a separate iCloud account or your iPads will mirror each other.

Need help in figuring out how to set up an IMAP Yahoo account

Hello,
I am trying to help my dad (who is 80 years old) in setting up his iMac and iPhone 4S with his email. His email address ends in "sbcglobal.net", however, he is able to check his sbcglobal email through Safari by going to Yahoo Mail. I don't know how or why this works, but it does--I've seen him do it many times. Even though he is logged into Yahoo mail, he is receiving his sbcglobal mail. And when he sends email through Yahoo Mail, it shows as coming from his sbcglobal account. I'm assuming that somewhere along the way, Yahoo bought sbcblobal or vice-versa.
My dad went to the Apple Store because he would like his email to be "sync'd" with his iPhone 4S. The only way to do this is to have an IMAP email account. His sbcblobal account is POP---not IMAP. However, the Apple employee he talked to (during a One-to-One training session) printed out a thing for him that shows him how to "add" an email account to his "Mail" application on his iMac. I've seen the printout, and it's just the usual manner where you go to Accounts and then click the "+" button to add an account. But I don't understand why this would accomplish anything, because he already has his sbcblobal email account set up in "Accounts"----why should he do it all over again with the exact same information? The Apple employee told him that if he adds the account, it will show up as a Yahoo IMAP account, but this makes no sense to me at all.
So I'm trying to figure out how to help him, and I'm trying to understand what the Apple employee was asking him to do by "adding" another Account to Mail. He already has his sbcglobal account in Mail, but the employee told him that it would show up as Yahoo IMAP? I'm VERY confused.
Attached is a picture of what the Apple employee told my dad to do. How did she get "Anthony" as an IMAP account?
Thanks much!

however, he is able to check his sbcglobal email through Safari by going to Yahoo Mail.
Almost evert Mail Provider also has a WebMail interface you can get to in browser.
THe reason to set up a new one is safty, though it's possible to change the existing one, best to set up a new one first, then move any eMails he wants to keep to the IMAP account.

How do I set up shared IMAP folders?

Does anyone know how to add a shared IMAP folder on a client machine so that it appears in their Mail account? I'm doing some support for a small company that has its own 10.5 Mail server in-house. Three of the users in the office are able to access a shared IMAP folder (it's just the sent mail from another user's account). Now the owner wants me to set up the other two clients in the same way but i don't know how the original three were set up. The icon on the correctly configured client machines shows a gray folder instead of the usual blue. I thought it might be a subscription, but the folder I want to subscribe to doesn't show up as an option when I go to the Subscription List (by right-clicking on any IMAP folder on any given client account). Do I have to delegate who has authorization by adding permissions to the account that is doing the sharing? I poked around in the WGM and the Mail service but didn't see anything relevant...

well, you can use cyradmin to take a look at the other shared folders on the server side without changing anything. i'm going to guess that's the way the shared folder was setup in the first place.
of course, this begs the question: why does this client/company share 45 gb of sent mail in this fashion, and how could they better use technology and/or resources for their needs?
it sounds like yet another gross misuse of mail standards. just because you can share that huge pile of mail data doesn't mean you should.

How do I set up an IMAP account in mail

I've tried several times to set up a new account in Mail in Mavericks but it always defaults to a POP account. I can't see any way of setting up an IMAP account. Please help.

Thanks Barney-15E: I've tried holding down the Option key at every option to Continue and I never get the option to configure the account manually, it just always sets up a POP account.
Thanks Donald Morgan: that support article does not help. it has step 4 "Deselect "Automatically set up account" if it is enabled. Click Continue to proceed." but I cannot find any checkbox or other way to deselect Automatically set up account.
I've set this account up as IMAP in every system since OSX came out and I've never had this problem.
Does anybody know how to set up an IMAP account in Mail in Mavericks !?!

I do not sync any of my mail accounts through iTunes. I have a total of 24 . . . yes <GRIN> . . . e-mail accounts that are active, using Yahoo, Gmail, ATT and .MAC. Some more active than others, obviously. I use both IMAP and POP settings, as the need presents. I do not access my Yahoo accounts with Apple mail on my computer, however as that would be an extra charge, and those accounts are not used much any more. I also do not use any Exchange accounts, because I am retired and have no need to connect to a corporate account any more.

How can I rearrange IMAP folders with multiple accounts in Mail?

Hi all,
I switched to the Mac in 2004, but I've never really used Mail (been using Entourage). I set up an IMAP account in Mail, and was very impressed. So I decided to set up my other IMAP account, too. Now things are a bit messed up. I have these folders
Inbox
Drafts
Sent
Junk
Trash
Email1
Email2
Under Email1 and Email2 are all the IMAP folders for the respective email address, except Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Junk and Trash are separate, and each of those folders has a folder in it called Email1 and one called Email2. How can I change this so that I just ahve the Email1 and Email2 folders, and everything appears under those?
On a less important note, is there any way to make Mail ignore IMAP folders? My email server creates a folder called '.mailboxes' for each IMAP account, and just stores some of its information in there, nothing I want in Mail. So is there a way I can hide this .mailboxes folder?
Thanks in advance

Hi mr max pie whatever.
This is actually one of Mail’s best features and cannot be changed.
Instead of grouping mailboxes by account, Mail groups them by purpose first (and uses the account name to differentiate the individual mailboxes associated with each account), then groups by account the remaining mailboxes that don’t belong to any of the standard groups.
This has the advantage of letting you choose at any time, and independently for each mailbox type, whether you want to look at your Inbox, Sent, Trash, etc. mailboxes as if you had just one of them shared by all accounts (i.e. an aggregate), or look at each of the corresponding individual mailboxes separately.
As to the “.mailboxes” folder that you’d rather not see there, I believe Mail shouldn’t show it if the name begins with a period. Moreover, I’ve troubleshooted a few cases where the problem was the opposite, i.e. the user had renamed a mailbox with a leading period and it became inaccessible as a result. I don’t know why Mail behaves so inconsistently in this regard. If all the server-stored mailboxes were subfolders of a parent folder, you could solve the problem by typing the name of the parent folder in Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > IMAP Path Prefix...
