How do I setup Yahoo mail with OS X Mail?

Hi,
I am seeing some odd behaviour using Yahoo mail and the Mail app built into OS X. I use UK based Yahoo mail, OS X 10.8.1 and Mail 6.0 that comes included.
In OS X Mail I have the Inbox, Sent and Trash mailboxes listed with the neat icons, then under yahoo.co.uk I have Bulk Mail, Draft, Sent and Trash using folder icons.
All my incoming emails are listed in the OS X Inbox but the Sent box is empty, all my sent emails are under the yahoo.co.uk header. If I send an email from Mail it goes into the OS X Mail Sent folder and doesn't show up in yahoo.co.uk.
If I log into my Yahoo from my iPhone I have duplicated boxes, namely an Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Trash, Bulk Mail, Deleted Messages and Sent Messages. Any messages sent from OS X Mail are not visible.
How do I stop this behaviour? I just want one set of boxes that all synchronise correctly.
Thanks.

Never mind, fixed it. Had to highlight the Yahoo boxes, then select Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For.
I just wish it was easier to find the info, had to go on quite a search to find it.

You cannot contact Apple support by e-mail or via chat.
You have to contact AppleCare by telephone.

Setting up Mail with College E-mail

I've been trying to set up my college mail with the mac mail program. I type in the imap account as mail.uncw.edu, the smtp as smtp.uncw.edu, and it never is able to recognize the server. Could the problem be coming from the fact that my school uses outlook mail if you were to just go to the mail.uncw.edu web site and attempt to check it?

As a UNCW alumnus, I really wanted to help you out. The only thing I could find out (through a google search) on how to set up UNCW email on your Mac was a mention on this page:
http://www.uncw.edu/itsd/macsupport.htm
I don't know how current the page is, but they state that:
+Entourage 2004 is the first native OS X Email client that allows Macintosh users to connect to the UNCW Exchange server, on or off campus.+
Hope this helps.

BT Yahoo Compatibility with Windows Live Mail

Hi Everyone,
I have two computers (Laptop - Vista [32], and my desktop Windows 7 [64 bit]) and I have been using Windows Live Mail (Part of Windows Essentials) for many years!
Until recently, I have not experienced any problems downloading my e-mail messages; problems, only started to occur when I transferred from Talktalk, to BT Infinity!
Regularly since the transfer, whenever I send/receive, I get a messages, advising, either
"enter your password",
or
"incorrect password user name"
I have 5 e-mail accounts, and frequently, I get these message for all 5 of these accounts!
Two things, I find interesting, are that when this problem occurs:
(1)        It occurs, simultaneously, with both the laptop, and my desktop! (I have switched, each of in turn, to rule out mutual interference)!
(2)        I get a message, several minutes later, from the BT software "BT Broadband Desktop Help", advising "An E-mail Issue Detected" and I am given the option to FIX! If I choose this option, a report comes up, advising that there are no BT accounts on this computer!
Today, for example, I found that I could not download messages, for some 3 hours, continuously!
However, I found that I could log in to BT Yahoo, and see my messages, on line! (Same e-mail address and passwords)
Several times, I have contacted BT, and each time, let them take control of my PC, to investigate. Every time, they have played around, and established that everything is in order!
Today, I again contacted BT, and again, they checked everything out, and verified everything was in order, and they verified that my messages could not be downloaded!
At no time, would the BT specialist admit, that the problem could be at the BT end.
I suspect that with BT Infinity, which is very fast, that my interrogation(Send/Receive) is too fast for their mail account to respond, when the network is busy!
The BT representative, today, admitted that he had tried everything he knew, and therefore was not able to help further; if I wanted further technical assistance, I would have to pay for it!
Given that on many occasions:
(1)          I do not have a problem downloading my messages!
(2)          When I do have a problem, it occurs on two computers (including (2) above)
I can only conclude that the problem is at the BT end (My broadband connection is perfect), and that the BT software "BT Broadband Desktop Help, is a bag of nails!
I would interested in any comments, especially from BT

Hi. Welcome to the forums.
There is actually no compatibility problems with Windows Live Mail, and actually the speed of your connection isn't too fast for the mail servers.
However a couple of months ago or slightly more, there were serious email access issues affecting pop3 client program such as WLM (and all the others like Outlook, Thunderbird etc). As you've noticed, it did not affect access via webmail (logging in via BTYahoo!).
The problem seems to have resurfaced over the past couple of days for some (I have seen the problem), so it's a server issue and not an end user one.
You may like to try altering the mail server addresses in WLM as indicated in my shortcuts option 0d/h (see link below). That has fixed it for many people. (Accounts/Properties/Servers tab - Incoming mail/Outgoing mail, alter both these and the Email username should be the full email address). It is easy to alter back, and only the servers need changing.

How can I read and work with the e-mail on one IMAC (running 10.7.3) from my MacPro Power PC5 (running 10.5.8)

I would like to be able to work the e-mails on my IMAC (Lion 10.7.3) from my Mac Pro Power PC5 (running Leopard 10.5.8). I want to be able to see all the folders and have actions show up on the other computer. In other words, if I delete the e-mail I want it to disappear in real time from the other computer. The same would be for moving messages in and out of different folders. Can this be done without setting a server? If not, then what server version could I install on the MacPro that would let me do this?

That is the way IMAP should work.
Like gMail or iCloud, both of which can be setup on both Macs...
Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
• Server name: imap.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 993
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password
SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
• Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
• SSL Required: Yes
• Port: 587
• SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
• Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
• Password: Your iCloud password

How to sync desktop and iPad with Verizon e-mail?

I've set up my mother's iPad with her e-mail account, which is through Verizon FIOS. She can send and receive fine on the iPad, but it doesn't sync with her desktop computer. For example, whatever she deletes on the iPad remains on the desktop, so she has to clean up her e-mail on her desktop computer regardless. Is there some way to fix the sync issue?

Sounds like it is a POP3 mail account and the iPad is not set to delete the messages from the server. You have to go to the Advanced setting tab for the account and select when you want the messages deleted from the server.

Trouble signing into e-mail with Windows Live Mail?

Organizer says in e-mail setup to recheck your sign on and or password. I've been using same for years and it's correct. I use Windows Live Mail threw my service provider and their SMTP port is 25 and that's the only one they use. On setup I used "OTHER" and wrote in Windows Live Mail in the blank. How do you setup port 465 & 587 on my firewall which is microsoft firewall. I already setup Adobe Photo essentials to be alowed through fire wall? I'm lost and not a programer!!!

Tried both deleting the account and re setting it up again and tried accessing it through my sons PC with the same results.
E mail 1 says
Server Error: 0x800CCC90
Server Response: -ERR [AUTH] (#MBR1213) Please verify your account by going to https://login.yahoo.com

Sorry for my bad English.

Help connecting my internet mail with my MAC mail

I apologize for asking so basic questions but I am lost... I have an account [email protected] that I can access on the internet.
I would like to connect that account with my MAC mail. It appears so simple but I tried about everything but it does not work. I tried setting the following parameters: email address: [email protected] (it works when accessing it on the web), incoming server: pop3.live.ca, outgoing server: smtp.live.ca, both SSL are set to on (port 995) with the password (the same that I use for accessing my web mail). It should work isn't it? But when the wizard try to access the servers, it says that the servers are not reachable.

Hi CaptFred, you made it work! That's great. Could you please take a moment to give me the settings that you used and any other tips that you might have? Thanks a lot for your help.
If you want to see messages on the server web page and receive them at home go into Mail's Preferences, Accounts tab. In there highlight the web email account and in the little tabs select the 'Advanced' tab. You can then tell mail to leave messages on the web server for so many days (your choice). This way you can see the email on the web server and at home on your Mac.

Cannot send mail with attachments-plain mail its ok. Any ideas?

Out of the blue I cannot send e-mails with attachments (any kind). Mail without attachments go out without problems.
Very weird.
I have an iMac, mac mail 5.2. and Lion.
Please help.
Thanks

Perhaps the mail server has a size limit that it allows. Might try a free web service and see if that will work for those attachments.

Thunderbird can download and send mail with Cox POP Mail, Mail cannot?

I have Thunderbird and Mail installed.
I can download and send mail with Thunderbird.
I can't even set-up an account with Mail because it cannot find the POP Mail server.
I have Firewall on with ports 25, 110 and 587 open.
This really seems strange that I can use Thunderbird to set up and use POP Mail access to Cox, but not Mail.
My servers are:
pop.central.cox.net
smtp.central.cox.net
I've followed the steps on Cox's support web site, no success.
I've already called Cox, they're clueless.
Thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Todd,
Well since Tbird works, we can rule out lots of things.
Mail cannot find the POP server
You are using the Welcome to Mail assistant to do this, and when you type in your incoming mail server info it spins the gear a bit, gives an error, and says that if you continue Mail may not work -- yes? What does the error say specifically?
No disrespect at all, but the most likely problem is a typo somewhere / mis-specified username. Please go 'round once more.
Good luck,
John
