I cant open my email account with yahoo on my mac but i can through safari

i can not open my mail through my mail on the computer it says my password is not right but when i sign on through safari and yahoo it comes right up > ive had this issue for a while and now its just frustrating

To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?

    Yes, but there is no reason at all you should be asking it to us.  These are user to user forums, so noboby here can help with billing issues.

  • I just sent a rather detailed question. I can repeat if I must, but it involves downloading Javascript in order to use my new Yahoo email account with Firefox. Please advise.

    I repeat: I established an email account with Yahoo.com. I prepared my new address book, have sent several emails to friends, changing my email address. NOW, I can't open my Yahoo email, I get a message that to make Yahoo work with Firefix, I must download Javascript. But the directions to download aren't complete. Do you have someone I can talk with since it appears to be a compatibility problem between Yahoo & Firefox? My old email address (still working): [email protected])

    Am I supposed to wait? It's now been 18 minutes since I got your email, confirming my Help question. Jim Zim

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • I had connected my yahoo email account with my apple email and now wish to disconnect this link. How do I do this?

    I had connected my yahoo email account with my apple email and now wish to disconnect this link. How do I do this?

    Open Mail preferences and delete the account. This only removes it from the Mail app and doesn't close out the service.

  • HT4859 I need help! I know longer have access to the email that I opened my icloud account with and I can't remember my password. I have tried asking Apple for help and no one has been able to! Any advice

    I need help! I no longer have access to the email that I opened my icloud account with many years ago and I can't remember my password anyway! However it continues to backup all my stuff. But I have no access to go in and delete items or manage my account. The pop-ups now tell me that my account is full and it will no longer be able to backup items. I would like to go in and delete items that I do not need to make room, but I can't! I have personally gone into the Apple genius store and presented the problem as well as called Apple support and talked with a live person. And no one has been able to help me. I cannot believe that I have basically lost my iCloud accessibility? I have a lot of money vested in music and priceless pictures! Please can someone help me?

    I don't know what you mean by "closed" - icloud accounts stay in existence even if you disconnect all devices from the account.  You can't delete them.
    If you don't recall the ID or the password, and if the link above doesn't provide another way to get to the account, then you are out of luck.

    If you have any problems let me know and i will eMail you some screen shots

    Peer-to-peer guidance like this can be very useful, but I can't help thinking why would anyone wish to set up a new email account with BTYahoo. (Or even Yahoo.) Even if it were possible, which I doubt, given that BT is quitting Yahoo, and BTYahoo is dying, who on earth would wish to create the possibility that a brand new email address will get embroiled in the email migration and SMTP problems that seem to be building?

    Disable Yahoo Messenger in your Yahoo Mail account.
    Use the arrow on the right of your account name to go offline or sign out.

  • Can you use any email account with iChat?

    It appears that iChat allows you to add other other email accounts other than AOL or MobileMe but can you chat using these accounts and can you screen share etc with non MobileMe users?
    Message was edited by: Peter O'Toole

    Hi,
    The answer is yes but your question is wrong.
    The AIM page for Registration now allows you to use any Email ID as a Screen Name.
    AIM has long done this for the Apple IDs of [email protected] and the MobileMe type email IDs of [email protected]
    They have also done it for other ISPs in the past as well
    More recently I have had someone test with me having used a Hotmail ID in the AIM Registration process.
    Jabber IDs look like email IDs and in the case of the GoogleTalk option they can be.
    As long as the Screen Name works in one of your Buddy lists it will be valid And if they are an iChat user with iChat 4 or above then they will be able to Screen Share.
    NOTES:
    Screen Sharing in iChat uses a Random port so any router or modem that routes need to be able to use UPnP or Port Mapping Protocol to open the ports or it will not work.

  • Open Default Email Editor with attachment

If you must use 1.5, you may have to hand-roll a solution for each environment you support. I'm not personally aware of any 1.5-compliant library that provides this functionality.Since youve replied, the 1.6 solution of opening an email but without an attachment is not good much use to me, and the creation of various support files and putting them into an attachment is the part of the process that the user has most problems with. So either I could either just create the attachment somewhere and let the customer handle the whole email side of things OR I could make use of the fact that my customers email address is embedded in their license and that an smtp server can be used to send an email from anyone, to open a form for the user to write a problem description and then send it from within my application, but the trouble with this approach is they can't have full control over the email they send.

    Hello Jbug0409,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you’re running into an Apple ID password issue on your iPod touch, and you’ve created another account which you weren’t able to verify because you didn’t receive the verification email.
    Try resetting the Apple ID password for the account that’s already on your iPod touch as shown here:
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    Also, take a look at this article which provides troubleshooting suggestions that’ll resolve most issues receiving verification emails.
    If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support
    So long,

  • HT4898 So, I have four different email accounts (two yahoo. one gmail and one mac ) - will these all sync after I move to iCloud?

    i have four different email accounts (two yahoo, one gmail and one mac.com) - will these all sync once I move to the iCloud?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Only iCloud mail works with iCloud.
    The syncing that occurs between a mail account on different devices, occurs because the account is an IMAP account. If you change or update your other accounts to IMAP accounts, they will behave the same way as your iCloud account.

  • Why Won't Apple Mail 4.1 Accounts with Folders on the Mac Take in Email?

    Tuesday, October 6, 2009
    3:11 PM  -0800
    I cloned my first generation MacBook Pro to a new and very hot 3.06 dual core.
    I have three mail accounts on Apple Mail 4.1 running on OS 10.6.1. I changed port 25 on SMTP to port 587 as required.
    The two accounts with mailboxes on the Mac, Verizon and Yahoo! Plus, can't receive mail. They turn grey and show that little dinky sign. Connection doctor doesn't specifically tell me what's going on, either.
    I'd love to have a way to check the POP server and it number, but I can't do that with Apple Mail.
    I've taken out and re-created both accounts. I have a lot of email filters and don't want to lose them. I suppose the next thing to do is trash the ~Mail folder bug hold on to the filters. The geniuses at the local Apple outlet say it's something which must be fixed here at my home address.
    Verizon is my major account, by far. I have made the required changes on the SMTP port from 25 to 587. I sure wish I could check the POP ports and their numbers on Apple Mail.
    -John
    -John

    Greetings,
    I'd love to have a way to check the POP server and it number, but I can't do that with Apple Mail.
    Says who? Of course you can check this; if you couldn't then you also couldn't enter those port numbers, which would make no sense at all.
    *For Incoming Verizon:*
    POP server name is incoming.verizon.net
    POP port number is: 110
    Verizon does not support SSL, but does require Password Authentication.
    You can see both of these in the Advanced tab of Preferences > Accounts
    *For Outgoing Verizon:*
    SMTP server name is outgoing.verizon.net
    SMTP port number is 25
    No SSL, but Password Authentication is required.
    You can view these in the Account Information tab in Preferences > Accounts
    *Incoming Yahoo! Mail Plus:*
    POP server is plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com
    POP Port number is 995
    Check SSL and Pasword Authentication
    *Outgoing Yahoo! Mail Plus:*
    SMTP server is plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    SMTP Port number is 465
    Check SSL and Pasword Authentication
    Test it by sending email from each account to the other.

    What does this have to do with Apple or any iDevice?
