I mac mail problems with yahoo

mail program is repeatedly asking for password(keychain) with yahoo mail and won't connect to server. I have been to Apple store and they have tried everything including resetting the computer and all has failed. I have been in touch with yahoo two times where they have logged on and reset the mail preferences(including changing my password twice). Test mail work for one day and then mail program cannot connect after that. Getting keychain/smpt messge.

I have this same problem also. I am running 10.7.5 and using Mail 5.3.
The error is yahoo asking for the imap password which I am assuming is my yahoo login password. It has worked fine for years, now just seems to be playing up and having an inability to send mail. Kinda useless now, as many mail items haven't sent and I am resorting to using the yahoo through safari to ensure my mail sends.
Very frustrating!!
Any help out there?

  • Mac Mail Problem with AOL

    Hi. I keep getting the following pop up window error message with my Mac mail: "Mail can't connect to the AOL account...." Is there anything I can do to resolve this?  Please help.  Thx! :-)

    After 9 months with the  macbook pro and no problems watsoever, my AOL mail suddenly started having problems but not on my iPad or iPhone.  There's no doubt that the problem was intitated by a change made by Apple to the software on my computer.  As others have noted files with the email settings get scrambled.
    The symptoms come and go,  sometimes closing the mail program and rebooting will cure the probems.   Apple recommends waiting 10 minutes ,  are you nuts?  Trip (with appointment ) to Santa Monica Apple store  and the tech was less than helpful , struggling under Apple's   work two customers for their allotted 15 min.
    Sorry for ranting in tech space but one of the benefits of paying the premium for Apple products is that they work.  Apple we have a problem here, but you have a far larger problem .....  as a iPhone, iPad, MacBook and Apple stock owner I see the handwriting on the wall....

  • Mac mail problem with gmail smtp server

    I had 2 gmail addresses.
    about 3 weeks ago mac mail decided to always send email from both addresses as if they originated from only one address.
    I did not solve this problem.
    For non related reasons, I got another gmail address.
    The same thing started happening.
    I now had 3 gmail addresses, but recipients were receiving all email from only one address.
    I went to email preferences and started exploring and experimenting.
    I was able to reconfigure so that the new gmail address sends from its proper smtp address.
    However, there is nothing I can do to get my second email address to send from its proper smtp.
    For some inexplicable reason the dialogue box beside "Outgoing Mail Serve (SMTP): tells me that smpt server is offline.
    I have no idea how to get it back online.
    (In the server editor, there is one more gmail smtp server than I need, 4 instead of 3 and 2 are offline - one just went off tonight)
    All relevant mail boxes are online.
    Does anyone know anything about this problem?

    Jack,
    There are mail forums in the forums for OS X, because you are using Leopard 10.5.6 (why haven't you upgraded to 10.5.8?) you should re-post in that forum. Mail comes as part of the OS that is why they're there. The address is:

  • PC to Mac mail problems with Migration Assistant?

    Hello, I recently bought a mac mini, my first after 20 years using a PC.  Trying to transfer 10 years worth of email and data across using the migration assistant but only a handful of my emails have arrived; none from any of my folders or archives.
    None of my notes have moved across either; has anyone encountered a similar problem / know how to fix this?
    Thanks

    Open the Users folder on your hard disk and see if there are any folders inside that folder with red circles; if so, that is where your data files may be. Log out and then in from the account you migrated; if you're not sure what username and password to use, open the Accounts pane of System Preferences and check or change the settings there. Once done, move the files you want to transfer to the /Users/Shared/ folder and from there to your normal account's home folder when logged in to that account. Once you've moved over everything you want, you can delete the migrated account. The applications that were migrated can be deleted.

    With Yahoo Mail, and anotare account (Inacap Mail), I can only receive mails but I can't send emails. I don't know if this is a problem of the iPad or it is a problem with yahoo mail, because using Gmail and the email of my job I don' have this problem.

    Google them to confirm the settings that you need for the outgoing server, then check the setting you entered on the pad.  Pay real close attention to the outgoing server name, and port.  You may need to change in on the pad. 

  • Is anyone having problems with Yahoo mail please ?

    Hi,
    I am having problems with yahoo mail.  I have to log in and out a few times before the inbox will open.  Having eventually got in, it fails to delete. 
    So I'm asking if others are experiencing similar problems please ?
    Best regards,
    dfenceman

    Hi,
    This problem seems intermittent.  It was working OK earlier this morning but now I can't open emails, I'm getting the following error message "We’re sorry, but there appears to be a problem loading the email".
    If I try forwarding the message to an alternative email address, as suggested on the Yahoo community forum, I get this error message "Yahoo Mail is having a problem retrieving the original email for reply or forward."
    Has anyone got a fix, or even a workaround please ?
    Can the mods help with this ?
    Best regards,

  • Problems with yahoo mail on Mail

    Hello
    I have configured Mail (Lion ) to get my mails from yahoo mail. It gets all my mails but the gear won't stop moving as if it is receiving mail. I have tried sending mails to myself and I get them, but it won't stop.
    After a while a window opens and asks me for the password, I write it down but then again another window opens and asks for the password again and again.
    I choose cancel and then nothing happens
    And I'm still on the same loop.
    Anyone can give me a suggestion?
    Thank you

    Yahoo Mail has been down for certain times yesterday and also today Tuesday June 19, 2012.
    There is a website called Down for Everyone or Just Me that you can check to see if there is a disruption.
    I have been having problems with Yahoo lately, also.
    They are having so many problems that it is almost not worth using.
    I rely on Road Runner lately.

When I then subsequently sync'ed my iPhone with iTunes, those contacts disappeared I added through my iPhone disappeared. But if I add the contacts online in my Yahoo! Address book, those contacts sync fine with my iPhone. How do I get my iPhone to sync properly with my Yahoo! Address book?

    I have been trying daily for the past two weeks with no success, and the same thing is happening on the PlayBook (I tried to change the password on the accounts to see if it would solve the problem)

  • Mac mail and sbc yahoo

    I just switced to SBC Yahoo DSL (now AT&T). with the new DSL line installed, I was able to send emails from Entourage but not receive them. SBC tells me they do not support Entoruage so I tried using Mac Mail. With Mac Mail, I can receive emails but cannot send them. Now SBC is telling me they do not support ANY email programs for Mac OSX.
    can anyone help me out?
    Now that I'm using Mac Mail, I prefer that (though I would like to know how to get rid of a flower icon that appears in the header of emails sent from me).
    thanks!
    iMac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    Well, here is exactly how I have my setting:
    Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com
    Server Settings:
    Server Port: 25
    Do not check SSL
    Authentication: password
    Username: [email protected]
    Password: password
    Under the advanced tab, Port 110
    SSL NOT checked.
    Authentication: Password
    If you've triple check all these options, I'd create a new account from scratch and re-enter everything.
    If that doesn't work, try creating a new account on your mac, log in to that, and re-create the mail account to see if by some strange happenstance something has gotten f-ed up on a low level that is causing you not to be able to send mail. (though I have no idea what that would be...)
    I'll keep my fingers crossed!!!

  • If you have problems with Yahoo, start FF4 in safe mode and see if it works. If yes, you have a problem with one of your add-ons.

    Apparently some of your "good" add-ons do not work right with FF4. If you have a problem with YAHOO MAIL, start FF4 in Safe Mode (Restart with add-ons disabled from the Help menu). Then try your Yahoo again. If everything works, then the problem is with one of your add-ons. You can selectively work out which add-on is the problem. For a lot of these user problems, this should help... worth a try anyway.

    Anything?

  • Problem with Yahoo Messenger for Blackberry 10

    Hi Blackberry Team,
    I've recently encountered a problem with Yahoo Messenger 10.1.0.88 on my Blackberry Q10 running OS 10.1.0.4181 software. It had been working fine for like a month after I purchased this phone from the authorized shop in Thailand until a few days ago it started showing the message within seconds after signed-in: 'Your connectino to the instant messaging provider has been lost. You can wait for the connection to be re-established or close the application and try logging in later'.
    This is only when I'm on 3G cellular network. It works fine through Wi-Fi connection. 
    I did some research on website and found that the latest version of Yahoo Messenger for Blackberry is actually 10.1.1.16 released on Sep 30th, 2013 but, for some unknown reasons, my Blackberry World only shows the '10.1.0.88' (which already installed on my phone) as the latest version. 
    I really need this for work as I'm communicating with international bankers over yahoo. Please help look into this problem and get it fixed at your earliest possible. Thank you.

    I have the same problem with my z10 always unknown error it getting me crazy

  • Element v.11 & 9 Photo mail problem with MS Outlook

    Looking for a fix:  Elements v.11 has a photo mail problem with Microsoft Outlook mail, even when Outlook is designated the defaul e-mail program in Windows internet.
    Is there a fix??  Thanks.

    I just posted the same problem and so I'll join this thread, hoping to see an answer to your question.  By the way, this PSE11 feature worked fine for me with Outlook 2007, but stopped working when I upgraded to Outlook 365.

  • I purchased Microsoft Office for Mac through the Apple website.. I have downloaded all from the disk into my Mac, no problem with all the other Word etc, but Outlook is asking for the key number: I have put it in but its obviously not the right one...????

    I purchased Microsoft Office for Mac through the Apple website.. I have downloaded all from the disk into my Mac, no problem with all the other Word etc, but Outlook is asking for the key number: I have put it in but its obviously not the right one...???? In the box with the disk came the product key, have put it in and it doesnt work. Please help..x

    unfortunately - you can not.  you can't even buy outlook by itself at microsoft's own website.
    does it have to be outlook?  maybe you can get away with using something else that's outlook compatible.
    how about trying Thunderbird for Mac OS?
    or maybe you can call apple and let them know you purchase the wrong version - they might give you a break and just pay the difference for the home and business version.
    good luck

  • Probably incredibly simple question, so sorry. I have just changed e-mail after many many years and I want to e-mail everyone in my mac mail client with the new e-mail address at the same time.

    If you are using Address Book, open it, create a new Group, select all you contacts by click the top one while holding down the shift key and then select the last one. Drag the contacts to the group, then send an e-mail to the group.
