Mail App / Yahoo Account Issues

Getting an error "Login failed". If I try to update my password or even delete the email account, I get a "401 Unauthorized" warning.
If I try to remove the account under Accounts & Sync, it won't let me and says I have to reset the phone. (Yahoo email)
Anyone know how I can resolve this?

I have two suggestions and a tidbit of information.
First like the other poster suggested don't use the email app from the phone (stock) secondly go to the Google play store and get the Yahoo Mail App as a stand alone.
Now the tidbit of information. If you had reason to read the news paper in your city, or online Yahoo Mail has had a security breach in that many customers accounts were accessed. They have sent out warning emails to users to have you change your password to Uppercase, lowercase, numbers and symbols to secure the accounts. A real hassle I know.
That could be part of the problem keeping the email account from messing up.
Good Luck

Microsoft Windows 8 Mail App - Deleted Account still used as "From" Account

Hi There,
My wife has a Surface RT that has been upgraded to 8.1. She has been happily using the mail app (Imap account), and indeed prefers it to the Surface version of Outlook. The other evening I added my own Imap account to the mail app, but then removed it again
as I prefer the outlook version. Now whenever she sends an email from the mail app, it is using my email address as the From account (can see this by clicking "more info" under the To box) even though the account is not there, which results in no
email being sent as there are no server details etc. on which to send it.
How can i change this so that it is only using my wife's account ?
Many thanks for any help you can give.
Andrew.

HTML emails render as plain text. Restarting Mail.app resolves the issue

I keep seeing this problem every day. Occasionally when I receive an HTML email (e.g. a newsletter), the HTML isn't rendered -- instead some sort of plain text equivalent is displayed, which is full of entity codes and URLs to all the images in the HTML. Clearly not right.
If I restart Mail.app when this occurs, the HTML email is ALWAYS rendered correctly. It's really annoying having to do this every day!
It seems like it could be to do with leaving Mail.app running when my Mac is in Sleep mode -- the issue always seems to occur when I wake the Mac. When I have restarted Mail.app after the issue occurs, all incoming HTML emails are rendered correctly.
Has anyone else seen this issue and do you know of a workaround? How do I submit a bug to Apple?
Cheers,
Olly

Hi again:
The preference file is located in the home folder (~library>preferences). Occasionally (rare, but it happens) preference files become corrupted and then cause all sorts of odd behavior.

Unable to open any e-mail in yahoo account...

Unable to open any e-mail in yahoo account or even use any drop-downs on the yahoo webpage. The multi-color pin wheel just spins endlessly. Only on the iMac desktop; our iMac laptop works fine and open yahoo e-mails. I unchecked the 'safari reset: remove all website data' several days ago. Ideas?

Problem solved. Safari "Help" suggested adding "/index.html" at the end of the webpage address. It worked! Now yahoo e-mails can be opened, deleted, etc. Hope this helps others with the similar glitch.

Converting on mail.app POP account to IMAP? How can I do this?

Hello,
hope someone can help me. I just recently bought a domain name with all its software on GoDaddy. Unfortunaltely I found out, that the POP account offered, does not syncronize my mail between my iMac and iPhone, as Gmail or Yahoo do, these are IMAP accounts... Even though I tried through the mail.app assistent to sent up a new IMAP account, GoDaddy does not allow this. So I called them up, to know why, I would have to purchase an upgrade, to switch from POP to IMAP. My question: is there a way around this purchase? I have read, that many people leave their mail on the server, but would prefer my pop account to work as an IMAP , that is syncronize mail on my iMac and phone. I can not create a new IMAP account, while doing so GoDaddy server will tell me , that I can not connect to their server... What happens if I use the Yahoo server instead? Someone has a clue? Thank you in advanced for your responses. Hug, René

You're trying to do this in the wrong place. This is a bit complicated but I'll try to walk you through it.
First make sure you have a Google Apps account. This sill carry a charge, but I suspect it will be worth it. It is for me. Check here for details and to register: http://www.google.com/enterprise/apps/business/pricing.html.
You will have to choose one of the ways to verify your domain ownership. More details here: http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=60216
Next, you need to go to Godaddy.com. Log in to your account, then click "My Account" at the top of the page (or the equivalent in Spanish).
Click "Domains", then the green "Launch" button to the right of the domain you want to use.
Click the "DNS Zone File" tab
Scroll down to the "MX (Mail Exchanger" section and Google's settings found here: http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=174125
Once it's all set up, you can set up your imap accounts using Google's settings here: http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=105694

Un-synchronize ML Mail from Yahoo account?

Just got ML yesterday and i'd like my Mail app to behave the same as it did in SL. I'd like it to be set that I can delete emails on my Yahoo email page through my browser, but that they are then NOT also deleted on my ML Mail app.
In SL I could delete email on Yahoo, but they'd still remain on SL Mail.
How can I do this in ML Mail please?

I spent an hour on the phone with Yahoo Tech support yesterday (since I pay for it I figured I might as well try)..
Long story short -- they weren't much help.
Yahoo outsources their tech support and so it was hard to understand this guy to begin with.. but he kept giving me a song and dance about how "yahoo's servers were so very powerful" they can't be connected to multiple devices.
Meaning, you can't be logged in and checking your yahoo mail via a webpage, and via another device at the same time. It would put your yahoo mail account into "error state 5"...
I pay for yahoo specifically so I can use the iPhone and the Webmail at the same time.. You can't get the pop/smtp access without paying for it.. And now they are telling me that its not possible to do this?
I don't buy it.. His excuses really didn't make sense to me.. I don't understand why I can't be logged in via two different devices..

Fetching e-mail from yahoo account

My iPhone 4 will not fetch new emails for my yahoo account. I have the settings to push for the account but I still have to open my mail in order to get new emails. Any ideas why this is happening??

If you used the Yahoo account preset to create the account which creates the account as an IMAP account with push access for received messages and you have push enabled for the account, if new messages are not received/downloaded until you access the Mail app, that is fetching. Fetching can be done automatically or manually which is separate from push access for received messages.
Yahoo has had on and off again problems with this since day one 3 years ago which was an entirely new protocol for Yahoo at the time.
Try turning push access off for received messages and set Fetch to automatically check the account every 15 or 30 minutes to see if there is any change with an automatic fetch setting.

I have verified permissions via Disk Utility, but that hasnt helped.
Any ideas?

I have fixed it! All I did was to select "replace all information in iPhone from Maill" and worked.

Mail.app default account

I've reluctantly reverted back to my GMail account from iCloud as I'm fed up of my iCloud emails disappearing with
no explanation from Apple as to why it's happening.
How can I set Gmail as the default account in my Mail app?

Hi SubirMondal,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can tap the From field in the Mail app to send your email from a different email account:
Send a message from a different account. Tap the From field to choose an account.
See the iOS 7 User Guide for more information:

All the best,

"Cannot Get Mail" When Checking Mail on Yahoo Account after 1.1.2 update

I recently updated iPhone to 1.1.2 and now cannot get yahoo email. 1.1.1 worked fine. When I attempted to check for e-mail on iPhone it returns error "Cannot get mail: The user name or password for "imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com" is incorrect." I have checked my username and password and I am positive that it is correct. I just logged onto the yahoo mail website with the same username and password that I entered into my iPhone. BTW, I have only alphas for a password and I also tried updating my password online and then modifying the iPhone to match. It authenicates the password when updating the account but will receives the same error above when attempting to update e-mail. I just have the standard yahoo account which shouldn't matter because it is the one that i used on 1.1.1. I have tried everything i can think of and just cant seem to get it to work so I'm hoping someone here can help me out. Thanks

I have a new iPhone with 1.1.2 and have this same problem. My Yahoo mail is set up correctly, and I can send mail from the mail client, which shows up when I check my 'sent' folder on yahoo using the browser interface from my computer.
I can't check mail - I get the "The user name or password for "imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com" is incorrect. Since I can send email from the iphone, and then see what I sent on both my work email and in my 'sent' folder, it's not a user or pw setup problem.
I tried turning it off and on and that didn't do it. I have a free yahoo account, so I believe I have to use the Y! option.

IOS mail not picking up mail from yahoo account

Hi guys,
few days ago i deleted some of my mail by accident, so i used yahoo's restoring email service to get my mail back.
after its restored all my mails are back, but on my iOS for some resason 'inbox' just not picking up any mails at all (old and new mails), all the other folders works just fine (e.g. sent, junk, trash and my persoanl folders).
I have tried to delete the yahoo account from iOS then reinstall it, still the same problem. but on my Mac's Mail everything is just fine.
I really dont know what do to next.
hope someone can help me out here,
thanks in advance!

Yahoo email hasn't been reliable for me. I get a lot of errors when yahoo goes to put a copy of my sent email in to the sent folder. I am using thunderbird with imap.
Does the wife have a paid account? I do and I think it is required for downloading your email.
The email pop protocol hasn't changed much so I'd think 10.3 would still be ok.
What to do?
wait.
Try another mail reader. set to leave on server. could try thunderbird with imap. not perfect.

Mail sending from wrong Mail.app gmail account

I've got about 5 different gmail accounts in Mail.app -- two are actual gmail accounts and three are @mywebsite.net that I host through Gmail.
Up until recently everything was fine but now it seems all my mail is being sent from one gmail account, regardless of which account I choose to send from.
To the right of the "From:" dropdown menu is another dropdown, but mine is filled with indistinguishable "Gmail" names, maybe there's a way to edit those to make it more clear?
I've just spotted there's a way to set a default "From" email address in the prefs but I'd prefer not to always send from the same address... as in, that's the point of having so many emails in the first place. I've already sent out a bunch of business emails from my personal accout and confused a whole lot of people so it would be great to have this sorted soon.
Thanks,
Connor

I just went through this with 4 email addresses, and the solution seems to be in how your SMTP servers are setup. Here's how to fix it:
Go into preferences and under the account tab, click on your first account.
In the "Outgoing Mail Server" dropdown near the bottom, click "Edit SMTP server list"
Go through each server in this list and 1) make sure it has a meaningful name and 2) that the correct login info is entered under the advanced tab. Mine were jumbled up, with some being identified as one account but having login info for another.
Once this is straightened out, select each email account (we're done with the SMTP list at this point) and select the server from the dropdown list that you just verified and check "use only this account".
Once all addresses are associated only with their servers, you should be all set. Now you won't have any account accidentally loging in with the wrong credentials just to send. Why this isn't the default functionality is beyond me.
Hope this helps.

Mail.app and Exchange issue

Hello. I have 7 exchange accounts (45,000 letters in them) in my mail.app and every day i have a problem that mail.app delete all messages and start downloading it form server. Can any one help me with this problem.
p.s. on the other macbook i have 1 exchage account with 18.000 messages and it works fine.
Is this problem because to many exchange accounts or to many messages or because i use VPN for take mail from this accounts? Help me please.

I can't even get the Exchange Mailbox to appear in Mail.app. The same account works for Calendar and Reminders (Tasks). Configuring as an "Other" type account also does not work. Instead I end up with an IMAP style account that can't be deleted from mail.app.

Mail application - Yahoo account

Hey there!
After having my iPod i went and purchased the update which is great apart from the mail application. This is because i have tried to use it with my Yahoo account which is fine for recieving mail but unfortunately i cant send any! When i try to do so it says:
*Cannot Send Mail*
The connection to the outgoing
server "(null)" failed.
I am really satisfied with the product otherwise and was wondering if anyone has had the same problem as i have and if there are any solutions to overcoming the problem!
Thanks in advance!
Plectrum Kid

What do you have set as the outgoing mail server for your yahoo account, on the ipod? Sounds like there is nothing set. Have you tried erasing the yahoo account completely from your ipod, then adding a new account, by using the yahoo preset.
