I have set up my Yahoo! account to be used as default mail account on iMac. I am receiving messages, but cannot send them.  All settings appear to be right.  What can I do?

The problems I am having are when I use Yahoo! with the iMac mail application.  Yahoo works fine on the browser. 
The outgoing settings I am using are:
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): yahoo.co.uk (Offline)
Description: yahoo.co.uk
Server name: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Use default ports (25, 465, 587)
Use SSL
Authentication: Password
User Name:  ********@yahoo.co.uk
Password: *************
Of note:
I cannot stop it from saying Offline after the outgoing mail server.
I have used the same settings on my ipad and iphone and that works fine.
Really grateful if you can help.
Thanks

  • HT201412 I have followed all instructions to set up email and i am receiving fine but cannot send

    I followed all instructions to set up email and I am receiving fine but cannot send keep getting message stating username or password incorrect?

    The sending of email is handled by the SMTP server. Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Go to the account in question and check the SMTP server settings. In some places in the mail app, it says the username and password are optional. In actuality, it really isn't. If you cannot modify the settings and get it to work, then delete the account entirely and set it back up again, making sure to get the username and password correct in all areas.

  • We use one windows machine and two mbp's (post 2012) at home. We have a modem *** router from a  non apple vendor that airport utility finds and connects with absolute ease. But doesn't stay connected. The signal drops often, what can I do?

    We use one windows machine and two mbp's (post 2012) at home. We have a modem *** router from a  non apple vendor that airport utility finds and connects with absolute ease. But doesn't stay connected. The signal drops often, what can I do?

    No, not all network clients -- only the two mac portables and they run together very rarely. The windows machine is hardwired to the modem router combo, and that's always sailing smooth. The mbp that is most used is perhaps 20 feet max from the router - and in another room. But it also happens when I take in into the same room as the router. On occassion, I have noticed while using network diagnostics, that one digit in the IP number sometimes appears to go awry. I then try to set up manually - and it works for a bit but is hugely erratic.
    I rigged a hand me down airport express and set up a separate network for the two macs and it ran beautifully for some weeks, but that little piece is now dead and none of the retailers in my suburb seem to have one in stock. I don't want to be forced to buy an airport extreme and here in India, there's no trustworthy online ordering option.
    The man from the ISP's been here several times and I don;t think it is a modem/dsl issue because the smartphone connects and the macbook drops when both are the same distance from the router? I am truly foxed and intensely irritated! :-(

  • I have a .Mac account and I use my Mac Mail account

    Can I have more than one email address?

    "One of the benefits of .Mac membership is the ability to use up to five (5) EMAIL ALIASES in addition to your primary mac.com address. They're great for those occasions when you're not sure you want to give out your main address, and they're equally great when you're absolutely sure you want the address to tell you what part of your life the mail involves."

    Hi ..
    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

  • Added money to account.  Can receive texts but not send them.

    I added money to my daughters prepay account and she can send texts but not receive them.  I have tried sending fresh texts and tried replying back and all I get are "message not  sent" notifications.  We are both on VZW.  She got the verifcation text that the  money went in and that the $20 texting plan was activated.  Please help.

        Hi, Spiniequeen!
    I am sorry to learn the device is not receiving texts! That's a bummer! Was your daughter's phone getting messages before adding money to it? If it had been awhile since funds were added, the features may need to be updated. I suggest contacting our prepaid team at 888-294-6804 for immediate assistance. Keep me posted!
    Thanks,

  • Use webmail. With FF 16 or 17, can receive emails, but cannot send an email. Have to reinstall FF 15 to completely use webmail

    Have used webmail in all previous versions of FF. Just won't work in FF16 or 17

    no error message comes up - nothing happens when I click to send - and also, just tried to save an appointment. Nothing happened and no error message. I've gone back again to FF 15.

  • Whilst travelling we have plugged in an optus wireless broadband, we can receive emails but not send them, we normally use an adsl broadband connection

    whilst travelling we are using an optus wireless modem, we can receive emails but cannot send them.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == we used the optus pre paid boadband usb modem

    Hello Carol.
    Although possibly not related to your problem, I will remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
    As for your issue, you need to provide more information. Firefox is not an email client. You may be having a problem with the email client you use, or with the site you are using to handle emails...

  • I can receive mail on my bellsouth account on my iPad, but cannot send mail

    Why is it I can receive email, but cannot send? My account is with Bellsouth.net

    Hello, sounds like you haven't switched to iCloud yet, the old dot Mac & MobileMe servers are going away or gone for most already.
    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
    Also, you must upgrade your password to meet the new criteria:  8 characters, including upper and lower case and numbers.  If you have an older password that does not meet these criteria, when you try to setup mail on your mac, using all of the IMAP criteria listed above, it will still give a server error message.  Go to   http://appleid.apple.com         then follow directions to change your password, then go back to setting up your mail using the IMAP instructions above.
