How to link yahoo email & automatically update display name in im

foremost, got myself a new 8520...i'm actually surprised how somewhat integrated/very user-friendly blackberry is..so far, it seems to be the best device in the business in terms of messaging/communication...i'm still an android user tho... anyway, couple of questions :
1. you know you can "link" im ids to contacts easily, how to do it when you receive an email and you want to link/insert the email address of the sender to an existing contact ? you can do that but you have to copy and paste instead of "link to bb contact" like you do with im ids.
2. probably its feedback for future upgrade, if you want to link/add an emai id to your contact, it'll more practical if you highlight the sender's (display) name and just link to contact, yet under this contact the actual email address is shown+saved rather than the display name.
3. if you link an im id for example yahoo messenger to a contact, should the display name automatically be that of the contact name instead of manually changing the display name for each contact ?
4. hopefully in the near future, there's only 1 messaging app instead of having ym, google talk, bbm separately....
thanks.

How to link an email address

I am wanting anyone who visits my ical site to be able to click on a link to email me. I know how to redirect to a site, for example, in the notes section by putting <http://www.rpbc.org>, but I can't figure out how to link my email address. I've tried putting the same <mailto:myemail.com>, but that doesn't work and the same without the mailto, but nothing...

<mailto:[email protected]> in the source html

I'm unable to access my yahoo email account using updated firefox browser, i keep getting error page when I use the mail link on yahoo pages

Since updating Firefox browser, i am unable to gain access to my yahoo email account. I can access the email with Interent Explorer with no trouble. Whenever I click on a mail link on the yahoo sites to check my mail, I get rerouted to an error page ..... "Sorry, we can't find "ca.mg4.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?.gx=1". Please check the spelling of the web address." is what is said at top of page whenever I click on any mail links.

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.

How to resolve Yahoo email font problems?

When composing a message in Yahoo email the font sizes are not appearing as designated and are reduced in size. This is functioning as desired using IE so it is not a Yahoo email issue. Any thoughts about how this should be addressed? Using Windows 7/Home Premium.

I have upgraded to Firefox 9.0 and still have the same issue being encountered. I can enter 3 lines of text, followed by carriage returns, in Arial 10, and then change the second line to 12 font and the third line to 14 font, when using IE - however the font sizes are out of control when using Foxfire.

My Yahoo email won't update anymore on my iPhone 6

I have an iPhone 6 using IOS 8.3 and about a week ago it stopped updating my yahoo email account. It worked just fine for many years. I didn't update anything before it happened. I have deleted it off my phone and added it back on several times and still nothing. I've changed my yahoo password and nothing. It just says "Updated on 4/3/15" and that it "Cannot Get Mail, The connection to the server failed". I have no problem accessing the same yahoo account from my iPad, my Mac, my work PC.

Hi fromnapa,
It may help to force close all open apps and reset your iPhone.
Force an app to close in iOS

Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

If you're still unable to retrieve your recent email, the next step would be to reinstall iOS on your device by placing it in Recovery Mode, then choosing Update in iTunes.
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.

My yahoo email won't update therefore I can't receive or send any emails

My yahoo email account won't update I have tried turning my phone off but no luck, also says cannot get mail the connection to the server failed, also when I am trying to add this email account to my iPad it also says this email account may not be able to send or receive emails.
Can anyone help with this issue please.
Thanks Lisa

You need to verify your settings with Yahoo. The error that you identify for the phone is for the incoming server, which shows you are not connecting to the server, for whatever reason.
The iPad error just seems like the account is just not verifying with Yahoo at all. I would check with Yahoo and see if there is a problem with your account.

How to get yahoo email to push in iPhone 4

For the past 3 weeks my yahoo email is not pushing on my iphone 4. I have tried soft reset and even deleted
my Yahoo account from my phone and set up again. All this to no avail. Prior to this period Yahoo would fail to push every now and then, A soft reset was successful.
I do have a second email account on this phone which fetches mail. Settings on the iphone: Push is "ON" and Fetch is set for "Manually". Yahoo and this second account were initially set up at the same time over a year ago.
Where can I go from here.

I am having the same issue. It worked for me initially. Now it hasn't been pushing my emails for 3 days now. I reset the e-mail and everything. Apperently I read that Yahoo is aware of the situation. Please let me know if anyone else has heard about this or is experiencing the same issue.

How to stop yahoo email from deleting on my computer when I delete it from my iPhone?

When I delete my Yahoo email from my iPhone 4s it also deletes it off of my Yahoo email on my computer. What is the fix for this? I set the email to on the iPhone to never delete but it still deletes.

That's the way Yahoo email is supposed to work. It keeps your computer, web mail and iPhone in sync. The only option is to set up Yahoo as a POP3 account, but there you will have to delete everything twice, once on the phone and once on your computer or webmail.

Query Builder not locating emails based on email address, only the display name will work.

I am trying to set up some search folders for Outlook 2010 for emails either to or from a specific domain name. I am using the Query Builder to set up the logic for the search criteria.
Here's an example of what I am trying to do.
I have three people from a specific company that I want all emails I either send them or they send me to go to. Their email address are as follows:
Jane Doe <[email protected]>
John Doe <[email protected]>
Mary Smith <[email protected]>
Here is the issue I am having. When I set up the criteria for the search folder, entering From --> Contains --> [email protected] (or any of the other addresses mentioned above) will return no results. Entering From ---> Contains
--> companyxyz.com will yield no results. Only entering From ---> Contains --> Jane Doe will yield any results.
If I use the From field in the standard Messages Tab of the Search Folder Criteria window then just entering companyxyz.com will give me all the messages. The problem that I have is that I cannot set up any OR conditionals with this standard field
which is why I am using the Query Builder.
My question is why doesn't the actual email address work for a search criteria in Query Builder and how can I set up a criteria for a domain name (@companyxyz.com) so that I can see all communication with a particular company?

Hi,
This is the expected behavior of Outlook.
The Search Folder Criteria dialog has two From fields. One From field is under Messages tab and another From field is under the Advanced (or Query Builder) tab. The From field under Message tab uses email address while
the From field under Advanced or Query Builder tabs uses the display name. So, when we want to use Query Builder to create a Search folder that filters by email address, the Query Builder ignores the email address and uses the display name instead.

Update display name of approval/request to something sensible

I'm trying to update the display name / request summary to something that's easy to understand to the approver. Their is currently no template meachanism to support this.
I've tried to update the request's displayname in a workflow activity, however the update is in the request history but still the old hard to understand request summary is displayed.
Then I figured out that the approval object has an attribute request, after which I tried to get the object using various query combination using wsenum. Without success.
Being desperate, I decided to update the database directly, with success. IS THEIR ANOTHER WAY TO THIS? I Would prefer to do this using the normal platform service.

Hi David thanks for the response. End users complain that the approvals make no sense and if they have several to dig through the are quite unfriendly and cannot quickly see what was requested
without digging. To the end I am trying to the following with approvals:
Customize the display name shown in the first column of "My Approvals" to something other than "Update to Person: John Smith". I would like to programmatically change it based on the equest
type. For instance "New Payroll Account Requested for John Smith" or "New OCS Account Requested for John Smith".
Inside of the approval object, I would like to change it to to clearly show what is being requested, by who and who approved it.
If you have any examples that you can share that would be great. I am not asking you to do my job but any pointers or at least a starting point
would be most helpful since the MS documentation is, ahem, thin.
Cheers!

Email server automatically updates itself

I manually input the email server information for my Exchange Server into the 'incoming mail server' settings. It syncs, and some emails download. Then they stop... I go back to the incoming mail server information, and it's a different mail server. Does anyone else see this 'auto-update' of the server information that you've loaded? Is there a way to "lock it" in?
Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

I think some of the possible causes of such slowness:
- Index issues
- replication latency
- high load
- disk usage
I would check those issues in that order, first checking the number and type of indexes for each entry, non indexed searches that could over load server, and try to get better performance reindexing. Updates are usually expensive but not that expensive.
Then, if everything is OK, I would test only using the slow machine and see if replication was an issue.
In all cases I would monitor operative system behaviour.
Mmmh you can also check if the workload of write operations in the slower machine are significantly higher than in the other. And if search time are the same...

How to see Yahoo Emails in IPad contacts

All,
New to the whole world of Apple, IOS etc. Recently bought the newly released iPad (iPad3). Right after purchase updated the iOS to 6, so its running the latest IOS. Setup my Yahoo Account & it works fine. But I can't see the contacts stored in yahoo Account in the contacts app of iPad.

However when I open the contacts App in iPad I cannot see the Contacts saved in Yahoo account. Can someone guide me on how to go about setting this up?
Appreciate any help.

Once they are marked as junk, any future emails from them will be sent to the junk or spam folder, thus I will still be receiving emails from them, they a just routed to a different location in my email. If this is correct, I would like to completely block the email address and prevent them from sending me emails versus routing them to my junk box. I appreciate your time with helping me on this matter.

Thunderbird can't sendmail on yahoo email server after updating to Windows 7 Pro on an ASUS BP1AD PC. Tried Thunderbird 31.2 & 24.6 configured as IMAP.

After recently updating to Windows 7 Pro on an ASUS BP1AD PC, I can receive email but NOT send using yahoo mail server. I am configure to use IMAP. Other email servers/accounts do not have this problem. The exact error message I get is an alert which states: "An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: From address not verified - see http://help.yahoo.com/I/us/yahoo/mail/manage/sendfrom-07.html. Please verify that your email address is correct in your Mail preferences and try again" If my email address in Thunderbird is good enough to receive messages iwhat's up with sending. Is there something obvious I am missing?

When you send mail the field you mention is used to populate the "ReplyTo: fild in the mail header. Otherwise it has no purpose and setting it to nothing will also work.
Yahoo are obviously checking that field as you send mail. that is points to a valid address, and I have a sneaking suspicion that is might be required to point to your yahoo mail account.
Historically the"Nigerian" type scam emails used a replyto address completely different from the one used to send the mail. So even if the sending account was closed down they still got the replies. The mail quite commonly originated in Yahoo and replied to Hotmail accounts. So I guess they have a check to try and discourage that legitimate, but undesirable from their perspective, use.
