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.

Can not connect to yahoo mail

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.

Mail recieving but not sending on Yahoo account!

Hi,
I have had my Yahoo email set up and running fine through Mail for the last year or so. However for the last couple of days I can receive email's but not send them.
I have three yahoo accounts and it's the same on all three. I've tested the connection settings and they're all fine. I've even deleted the accounts from Mail and set them up again from scratch.
I get the following error:
*'Sending the message content to the server failed.*
*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 delivered.'*
Anyone else getting this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help.

In order to prevent spam and address spoofing, some mail systems are now being set to disallow 'relay'
That is, sending to another host via an intermediate account.
Example: Your mail account is [email protected]
You are popping mail from [email protected] You get a message at your yahoo address from [email protected]
When you try to reply to the yahoo message from your host.com account, you are trying to use host.com as an intermediate to yahoo.com, which will in turn send the reply to [email protected]
you are thus asking host.com to relay a message from [email protected] to [email protected]
In reality, host.com has no idea who [email protected] is.
So it refuses to allow an unknown user from a foreign system to use it's mail server to send to a 3rd mail server. This is considered relay, and it's a favorite tactic for spammers.
That may be why you are told to "select a different outgoing server"

My iPod touch is not connecting to iCloud account, under iCloud settings has old email account and username that I have since updated and are working correctly on my iPad, any idea how I can reset this?

My iPod touch is not connecting to my iCloud account, under iCloud settings it has my old email account and username that I have since updated and are working correctly on my iPad, any idea how I can reset this on the iPod or otherwise? This old account info keeps coming back on my iPod and messing up access to my apple account and now the icloud. last time a system restore needed to be done to fix it....

It won't give me the option to sign out of the old account, it's that light grey color that you can't click on. And since it has the old email address that it's telling me to go into to verify the account, I can't actually change it... I'm stuck

IPod Touch 4 with iOS5 not connecting to Yahoo Mail

After downloading iOS5 on my iPod Touch 4 I could not connect to my Yahoo Mail.
Read many suggestions and called Apple tech support. The tech tried to access Yahoo Mail and he had the same problem I did.
BUT... I fixed it on my own by process of elmination.
Go to...
Settings
Safari
Turn off Private Browsing ( this might be all you need to do)
then...
Scroll down to Advanced
Turn on Debug Console ( I'm not sure this step is necessary)
Change your Yahoo email password on your Mac or PC
Restart your iPod Touch
Try logging into yahoo mail from yahoo.com using your new password.
I think turning private browsing was the problem and I think it was added in iOS5.
I hope this saves all of you some aggravation. I spent 2 days trying to fix.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

I have reset my firewall to allow FF as default, yet it still will not connect to yahoo.

I am trying to download Fire Fox and make it my default browser, but even though it is in my programs, Yahoo will not allow it to connect or to open. I have made sure my firewall is set to allow it, and I have multiple times tried to open it, but I keep getting a banner that says that it is unable to connect with yahoo and to try again later. I have been trying and it will not run.

Hi,
You may have to update Firefox to the latest version: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
If Firefox is up to date, please try this: '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Clear Recent History''', choose '''Everything''' in '''Time range to clear''' and '''Cache''' and '''Cookies''' under '''Details'''.

I have created Notes in my yahoo account. Some of the Notes pages does not show up, though they are still inside Yahoo mail account. How to ensure that all pages in my Yahoo notes appear in my iphone and ipad

I have Notes in my Yahoo email account. Some of the pages disappear or could not be found in iphone or ipad, though they are still inside my yahoo Notes
How to make sure that all my Yahoo Notes pages appear in iphone and ipad all the time

I had the exact same issue!! Seriously p*ssed me off when I checked out my ITunes purchased items (via my computer) and noticed that most of the additional tracks listed on my IPhone playlist was listed there too. However, I never authorized any purchases!! (I have actually written Apple Support asking for a full refund of all tracks listed on my purchased list)
Be careful when you swipe your finger to the left/right on those "additional" tracks on your IPhone playlist... I'm pretty sure that the cloud symbol is an option to download or automatically buy those tracks.
Solution for the problem:
1 - go to your IPhone settings
2 - choose "iTunes & App Store"
3 - go to "Show All" & "Music"
4 - turn off "Music" by moving the bar to the left (it should be a white color once you turn it off)
Should solve your problem :~)

Ichat not connecting to jabber account

Hi - I'm relatively new to Macs in general and especially new to ichat. I'm using my gmail account to connect to ichat, but it won't connect. I've checked the user name and password, I've checked the server and the port. I also have connectivity to the internet and I'm the admin on the computer so I know it's not a parental controls issue. I'm also not logged into gmail and ichat at the same time
Why is ichat telling me "iChat can't communicate with the Jabber account [email protected] Could not connect to host talk.google.com."
This is so frustrating! Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Rayna

Hi,
||iChat Ports||TCP||UDP||
|AIM|5190|5190|
|A/V|none|5678, 16393-16402|
|Bonjour|5298|5297, 5298, 5353|
|Jabber|5220,5222, 5223|none|
Note this is the iChat 4 and 5 Range
Add port 5060 UDP for iChat 2 and 3 and extend the group of 10 to 16384-16403 (20 ports)
iChat 4 and 5 also uses an undeclared Random port to do the Screen Sharing part and works if you can and do use UPnP (Or Port Mapping Protocol) to open ports in your routing device.
This Info is from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1507?viewlocale=en_US for iChat 3 ports which lists the Bonjour and Jabber ports as well.
This one http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2282?viewlocale=en_US lists the changes (reduction in the A/V Group mainly) but does not refer to the first for Bonjour and Jabber.
Then there is this
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=ServerAdmin/10.6/en/im5945b424.html
This does also list port 7777 for Federation (things to do with linking with other Jabber servers)
It lists 1080 for File Transfers using a Proxy (Not sure if this is Jabber or not)
It also lists "5269 TCP This port is used for encrypted TLS server-to-server connections, as well as nonencrypted connections". I have not come across this on the Client side (but it does say Server to Sever)
As the Clients may still be using iChat 3 (or in fact earlier) port 5060 is still listed and the A/V group is wider as a consequence as they will need them.
The biggest issue will be the Random Port for Screen Sharing.
As far as I can tell this an Audio Chat alongside a VNC part for the Screen Pics.
Both need to work for iChat Screen Sharing to work.
I hope this helps.

Unable to connect to Yahoo account using Contacts and Calendar

For the last week or so, I've been unable to connect to Yahoo's CardDAV or CalDAV servers from Contacts, Calendar, or Reminders. Every time I open either application, it asks for my password, and when I enter it, it says "the server returned an error" and asks for the password again. My Yahoo account still works with Mail and Messages.

Try this, which worked for me:
- Close Contacts
- Log into Yahoo.
- Go to Account Info (usually the gear sing)
- Under "Sign In And Security Settings" click on "manage apps and webiste connections"
- Remove/delete all links and connections to your Mac and Contacts.
- Open contacts.
This worked for me, and I had been struggling with it for about a year.

Web browsers not connecting from Managed Accounts

I was out of town last week when my daughter called to say that her iMac has developed a very strange problem. Suddenly, Saturday afternoon, users of the managed accounts could no longer connect to the internet via Safari 5.0.2. The Administrator's and two other Standard accounts worked fine. I could not think of anything that might cause the problem but I did suggest that she create another Managed account. It has the same problem.
Today I went over to her house and spent 4 hours cleaning, repairing, and just doing everything I could. But to no avail! Strangely, iTunes connects to the Apple Store in the these accounts. I tried Firefox and it too would not connect. And it is not just the gear grinding away - the "cannot connect ..." message pops up right away.
I created a new Standard account and I could connect fine.
She has a 2006 iMac running 10.5.8
Her router is an Airport Express (which I reset)
Safari version is 5.0.2
Firefox was 3.6.10
Please help. Thanks
PS I originally made the mistake of posting in the 10.6 topics - Sorry

I found the following information in the Console log:
com.apple.familycontrols (2014) Internal Error: Error retrieving file /Library/Applications Support/Apple/Parental Control/Content Filtering/httpd.pid

I looked the file up in the library. It is there. Is this a file that can be safely deleted and it will re-generate itself?

Mail app not connecting to gmail account

Hi
So I have 2 gmail accounts where our company domain uses gmail for its email service. Mail was working fine on both the accounts till last week.
I had configured both the gmail accounts very easily by just selecting Google on the Mail App on my Macbook Air 7 months back. I just added my email id and my password and the Mail App automatically configured both my accounts.
Last week one of the gmail accounts stopped updating on the Mail app on the Macbook. I was recieving mails on my iPad and iPhone so I knew there was something wrong. The second gmail account was working just fine. I tried various things but that account refused to work. So I deleted that account and tried adding that account back. I could not add that gmail account this time round and kept giving me an invalid username password error or some account not valid error. I go to the online version of Gmail and login with exactly the same information.
Then to probe more I delete the working gmail account and try to add it again. That account also does not seem to be adding now. Same error as the first account. So now I cannot access both my gmail accounts on the mail client.
I just realized that I updated to OSX Mavericks 10.9.2 on 28th Feb and am pretty sure that all this has happened immediately after that.
Anybody else with similar issues? Any ideas on what I should be doing?
Cheers
Ankur
