IPhone 4S Mail doesn't connect to Yahoo . . .

A while ago the display on my iPhone 4S gave out in Barcelona and the Apple Store there replaced the entire phone. Everything works EXCEPT Apple Mail . . . Safari connects, so there is communication with the ISP, which is Yahoo Small Business Bizmail.
I've tried everything. I've set up accounts following the Yahoo Bizmail recommendations; I've deleted accounts and created new ones; I've restored the iOS and the data. Last week I spent 1.5 hours with Yahoo Bizmail support and we could not get the iPhone to communicate in Mail . . . kept getting the message that the server is not responding.
The Yahoo tech finally wondered if there might be something in the iOS software that was corrupted, even though 'Restore' had produced the same results. Could the unit in Europe have different properties that prevent Mail from working properly?
The iOS is up-to-date as is the firmware.
My Mac Pro has no trouble with Apple Mail and the Yahoo Bizmail server.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance . . .

Progress report:
I restored the iPhone 'as new' and proceded to set up the Yahoo accout as a new one under 'Other.'
I used the recommended settings from Yahoo Bizmail (see below) and the process gets stuck at 'Verifying.' I get the message;
The SMPT server "smpt.bizmail.yahoo.com" is not responding. Check your network configuration and that you entered the correct information in the "Outgoing Mail Server' field.
Very frustrating.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Thanks

What does the Connection Doctor diagnostic tool report?

Confirm with the Yahoo set-up that your POP or IMAP mail settings are correct for their current recommendations, as well. And IMAP is preferable to POP, if you have the option of using either of those with Yahoo.

Mac Mail doesn't display new Yahoo messages

Mail application on my Mini was somewhat erratic so I did the usual trick of removing "com.apple.mail.plist" and restart application. Now all my accounts are working as they should be except Yahoo.
I deleted and added Yahoo account twice, the settings are OK but I can't see my new messages for this particular account. (IMAP)
Yahoo account is working. I can send and receive from my iPhone and iPad.
Mail displays the folders on Yahoo server.
I can see the "Sent" messages.
At the bottom left of the sidebar, I can see incomiing messages but once they are retrieved no new messages are in the Inbox.
Can someone please help?

I checked email several minutes ago. Activity Monitor now shows it as using 0% of CPU time. When that's the case it's now using any power at all. Every so often it will "wake up" to check for new mail. When that happens it will briefly use some CPU power. That interval can be controlled with the setting for "Check for new messages" in the General panel of Mail's preferences.
You didn't ask about RAM, but when Mail is idle I'd expect it put minimal demands on RAM.

Mac mail doesn't connect to emails

Hi everyone,
Ever since I updated to Mavericks, my emails don't connect to Mac Mail.
I tried deleting the email addresses/accounts and adding them back in but now it doesn't connect at all.
I have gmail and hotmail and am not sure what I should be setting my Incoming and outgoing servers as.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!!
-Judy

It attempts to set the servers. After a long period of waiting, it gives me the message that it has to be configured manually.
urm...ok so after deleting the accounts and attempting to add it back on, it doesn't initially "work". I restarted my macbook and now it works.
macmail has reset the incoming and outgoing servers:
gmail:
hotmail:
but then I have another hotmail account and it shows:
I hope it continues to work. My mailbox has been working on/off for the past week or so...
Thanks!!

Mail doesn't connect to any servers anymore

Hey all - over the weekend my Mail is suddenly not connecting to any of my email servers. I have a 123-reg account, squirrelhosting, and a couple of hotmail accounts - so a variety of POP and IMAP. Mail is not connecting to any of them and is giving me "The server “xxxxxxxxx” cannot be contacted on port xxx.
All of the email accounts are accessable via webmail. They also still work on my iPhone.
I have tried:
- Disabling SSL
- Using alternate SSL ports (993, 25,465)
- re-creating accounts (I tried adding a brand new Hotmail account and that still won't connect)
- deleting the V2 folder
- deleting com.apple.mail-shared.plist
- deleting the MailData Envelope indexes
- flushing the DNS Cache
- Reparing Keychain
- Verifying/Repairing Disk Permissions
- Creating a new User and trying new mail accounts in there
I've pretty much exhausted all my ideas and wanted to see if anyone had any ideas before I give up on Mail and migrate to Outlook/Thunderbird.
Many thanks in advance!

After 6 months of support and Mac engineers in the States trying to solve this issue on a new 27 inch Fusion drive, the soltion was simple!
Please add the following DNS Addresses in the advance section of the ethernet and WiFi interfaces in Network preferences.
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
It seems to be working.

Mail can't connect to Yahoo Mail account.

For Yahoo Mail accounts I created a few years ago, they work. But the recent ones, they don't. How should I configure in order to allow Mail to manage Yahoo Mail?

Have you tried to take off the parental control just to eliminate that possibility??
If the yahoo email account page opens up then you know the problem lies in the security settings that you have applied...
Please let me know your results..

Mail doesn't connect

Today I switched my wireless router. My browsers all work fine. Flock. Fine. Firefox. Fine. Safari. Yuppers.
However, suddenly iChat and Mail and even iTunes won't connect. When I click on mail I get this message: "There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account "[email protected]" or try again.
The server error encountered was: The connection to the server "imap.aol.com" on port 143 timed out."
When I try to open iChat it just says connecting for a minute and then disconnected.
And iTunes won't allow me to connect to the store or to the radio.
Any idea why this might be the case?

Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Network, choose Network Port Configurations from the Show popup menu, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.

I was also having lots of issues over the last two days, but found an easy fix...
1) Go to Settings
2) Mail, Contacts, Calendars
3) Choose your Yahoo account
4) Hit your Account name at the top
5) Check you password... my password was not right -- don't know if it was remembered as an old one or if it was just dorked up altogether, but I corrected it and now everything is fine.
Good luck

Yahoo Sent mail doesn't sync from Mac to iPad & iPhone

Hi just noticed that when I send mail from my Mac Mini (running Yosemite) these appear in the mac's sent mailbox bit don't appear in Yahoo's sent mail folder and therefore don't appear on my iPhone & iPad sent mail.
It also looks as if other mailboxes on my Mac Mini are not syncing correctly: i.e. I moved mail from my inbox to a yahoo folder on my iPhone but it doesn't appear in that folder on my Mac Mini.
I used the standard settings when setting up the Yahoo account on my Mac. and haven't changed them.
Any guidance to ensure these sync properly ?
Thanks

A Cox email account is a POP account. What you are wanting is not supported with a POP account. Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only.
This is supported with an IMAP account. All server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are available automatically with each email client used to access the account along with all server stored mailboxes kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account.
A MobileMe account is accessed as an IMAP account. You can store sent messages on the server with an IMAP account. Not so with a POP account.

IPhone not connecting to Yahoo incoming mail server

My iphone is not connecting to Yahoo Business mail incoming server. I have checked the address, the host name (pop.bizmail.yahoo.com), the user name, and the password and they are all correct. I have tried using server port 995 and 110 and neither one worked. The exact message that I received after trying to check my mail is: Cannot Get Mail- The connection to the server "pop.bizmail.yahoo.com" failed. I have been able to connect just fine in the past and nothing has changed since the last time I was able to check my mail. I am also still able to check that same e-mail account from my computer.
If anyone has any ideas on what the problem may be please help because this one has me puzzled.

I tried it, but it didn't do anything. It just stayed in the mail after the sliding screen went away. I have noticed something else to add to the problem; the mail app on my computer isn't getting the e-mails either and again it is the same issue as the iPhone so I am convinced that it is something with Yahoo, but I can't figure out what.
I should probably go into a little more detail, what I have is a regular yahoo account with e-mail. To go with this e-mail I have a business e-mail for my website I am hosting through Yahoo. I need to receive the e-mails from that business e-mail address. I am able to log-on to yahoo.com, sign in and get the e-mails from both of the accounts, it would just be a very nice convenience to go to my mail to check it and be able to use my iPhone when I don't have access to my computer.
I'm hoping somebody out there has an idea of how to fix this because I'm sure that I'm not the first one to go through this.
