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..

Why does my MacBook keep showing a message 'can not connect to yahoo mail', and I have to confirm my password. Then it goes right in. Keeps happening multiple times.

It's a Mac Mail problem. Just read all the threads on all the different problems people have with Apple Mac Mail.

Can't connect my yahoo mail account with Mail

I was using Mail 6.5 with my Yahoo account and lost the ability to connect last week when I change my Yahoo password. I enter the new password in mail, but it won't work.

Can't connect to YAHOO mail to sync calenar and address book

Did anyone try this features? My attempt to connect was honored by recognizing Yahoo mail.
Thanks for commenting.

Calendar and contacts can only by synced through iTunes. What you might be able to do, assuming you have one of the programs your iTunes recognizes for syncing (Outlook 2003, Windows Address Book . . .), is to export your schedule and your contacts from Yahoo. Save them to your hard drive. Import them into the program iTunes allows you to sync with, then sync. Doing this every few weeks would be fine for your contacts, but it would quickly grow tiresome for syncing daily appointments.

Have IMAC, Mountain Lion mail. Each time I open mail, the message Mail can't connect to the account "Google" followed by a request for a password of an acct that was previously deleted. How do I get rid of the message? Thanks

I have an IMAC, Mountain Lion. Each time I open my mail, a message box appears with the message Mail can't connect to the account "Google", followed by Enter the password for the user *****@gmail.com. The full account that appears is an account that I had previously deleted. I cannot prevent the message box from appearing. What do I have to tweak in order for this annoying box to keep reappearing. I have deleted everything I know of in Google mail and my IMAC mail. Thanks for any feedback

From the Mail menu bar, select
Window ▹ Connection Doctor
Look for the unwanted SMTP (outgoing mail) account in the window that opens. Double-click it. Another window will open, showing a list of all the outgoing mail accounts. The unwanted one will be selected. Click the minus-sign button to delete it, then click OK.
If there's more than one unwanted account, repeat.

It sounds as though a script on the site, or an advertisement, is not working quite right...
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies using either of these. Save any pending work first.
While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Note that you lose privacy when using Gmail (and Yahoo):
Gmail and Yahoo both scan users' emails. They do algorithmic analysis of your email messages, targeting ads that relate to the content of your messages. Defenders point out that "they", are not people, but machines. And they argue that it is a harmless way of making advertising relevant to users and raising revenues.
Others might say that whether a machine or a human is doing the work, the potential for a privacy breach is there.

Dear Al
Thanks for your reply.
I have just found out what's wrong. I went to the 'more info' section of my Chitchat application and it took me to a link where it explained that Yahoo Chat has ditched chatting with the Java protocol and chatters can now only chat via the Yahoo Messenger protocol, which is Yahoo Instant Messenger with Voice. Unfortunately Yahoo doesn't provide a platform for Yahoo Voice for Macintosh computers. Though the original link I went to provides another link to a thing called 'Adium' from which a Mac can access Yahoo Chat's new protocol, although it's not fully developed yet.
Oh...and thanks so much for letting me know about the Java update release. I did not know that I have to upgrade my system first to recieve the latest update information.

Tina

Since I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5 I can't connect to my mail exchange account.

Since I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 5 I can't connect to my mail exchange account. I can connect through safari using all the same info. I have seen lots of info on this topic and I have tried it all. Nothing has worked so far. Any new ideas or info out there?

ok i changed my settings , but the is the icon suppose to say imessage , and under the SMS shouldnt it say delivered or read ??? and lol should the convo bubbles be in blue if its imssg ?

I keep getting this message: Mail can't connect to the account: "Sbcglobal". Enter the password... So I do and it opens up, but later it will happen again. It's not earth-shattering, but I have to stop what I'm doing to get rid of the bouncing Mail icon.

If your password is accepted, and Mail connects to the account, but you're prompted for the password repeatedly, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Note: these steps don't apply if the server rejects the password. That's a different problem.
Step 1
When prompted for the password, check the box marked Remember this password in my keychain.
Step 2
Check that the keychain is working.
Step 3
Check that the default keychain is unlocked.

How can I stop message coming up at login stating "Mail can't connect to Google account Blue Yonder?

When my mac powers on, the Safari icon jumps up and down until I open it and the above message comes up. I can log in to my blue yonder account via virgin media website(my provider) I'm not bothered if mail can't connect to it but would like to stop this as it's a bit annoying every time . Doesn't help that I'm not very techie!

Shelannie, uninstall your mail account from your mac and reinstall it - this has worked for me

Emails will not send - Mail can't connect to the a...

After having no issues with sending emails for years suddenly I am continually getting the following meassge when trying to send emails. Eventually after putting this password in up to twenty times the email will send.
The message is:
Mail can't connect to the account "mail.btinternet.com:[email protected]" Enter the password for user "[email protected]"
This is happening on all of our computers: Macbook Pro, Macbook Air and Imac and started about 2 weeks ago. It occurs for every sent email.
Any ideas on how to stop this?

I have logged into Bt.com and there is no issues there. Sent an email from there an it was received.
Also spent 2 long hours sharing a screen with someone from BT who obviously didn't know what they were doing as they did not even look in the MAIL preferences.
This is the error message we receive:
The server “mail.btinternet.com” cannot be contacted on the default ports.
Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent.
Any reason why there server can't be reached. We have been using these settings for years without issue?
Thanks

Hi.
What port is set in your smtp account ?
It could be that your whole account has now been transferred to Critical Path - you can tell this from logging into webmail via bt.com - if it doesn't say BT Yahoo in the title area, you've been transferred and should alter the settings.
This will, of course, probably cause issues for 100s of 1000s of people. An email should have been received titled "The new BT Mail is coming your way", and gives some details including a link of what to do to various devices and mail clients :-
