POP3 Yahoo Mail Support

I hope that someone can help me. I'm an American living in Guangzhou, China. I currently have an iPhone 3GS but the horrible battery life is making me regret getting the phone in the first place. I've only had it for exactly 4 months and while it's features are many, the battery life negates almost any of the features that made me buy it in the first place.
I was in an electronics mall the other day, here in China, and I was looking at Blackberry. I played with the BB 9000 and liked what I saw - the biggest factor being the user replaceable battery. After being in the store for what amounted to be an hour, (my Chinese girlfriend having to interpret everything for me) I was all set to purchase the handset, but then was told that I needed to purchase a separate service that amounted to 58 rmb per month in order to get my Yahoo mail to work on the device. I simply want the device for email. I can use my iPhone for all the other silly stuff that I want to do if I need to. I ONLY need access to my Yahoo email, both send and receive - that's it.
The email setup for my iPhone was easy as pie. I had choices for external mail options and I only had to insert my China Mobile SIM card into the device. I don't pay any other charge except for the usage of the card. I just configured my pop3 information into the iPhone and I was off and running. I love the iPhone, but the battery drain is ridiculous. And I purchased an external battery adapter that makes the entire package too large to use.
I'd really appreciate any help you could provide.
Solved!

I might have missed your question, but if it pertains to the additional BlackBerry Data Plan cost, yes that is true.
Without the BlackBerry Data Plan, you will not get any email functions.
Good luck.

How can I set Yahoo mail as my default mail application on Mac Mail?

I am trying to make Yahoo Mail (free version, not Yahoo mail Plus!) my default mail application. This would allow me to cick on any link sending e-mails and it will launch the yahoo mail application to send mail from there, obviously. For this to happen I need to open Mac "Mail > Preferences >" and choose "Default email reader" under the "General". I then choose the email application of my choice (Yahoo in my case). "GMail Notifier" for Google fans.
I am not able to find a Yahoo application mail in my application folder or on the Internet, and frankly speaking, Yahoo mail support absolutely suck, and getting a hold of them is nearly impossible! There is a free applet out there called "Yahoomailer" that might do the job, but either I am installing it wrong since when I download and click on it nothing happens, or it does not work properly on my machine. So, I am turning to the community to get some help with this issue. All I need is to know if there is a Yahoo mail app out there that can be installed on MAC and shows up on my Mail > Preferences > Default email reader.
Thank you,
I am using MAC OS X 10.8.2

My tools menu does not show "options" as a choice - any idea why? Thanks

In line images not displaying in yahoo mail

Greetings, I have searched through your faqs and have been in touch with Yahoo Mail support but they say the problem is browser related. With some of my emails the inline images that are also links do not appear - an image placeholder appears briefly but then vanishes. The same messages display fine in Gmail with Firefox, in Yahoo Mail with Chrome and also with the Yahoo Android App on my HTC so the problem is only with Yahoo mail and Firefox.

HI treblig1,
Please make sure that the page that you are trying to attach the attachment to is not on the block pop up list. This was a work around for a recent gmail issue that blocked the popup that manages what file to attach.
There are two ways to get there:
# Go to the about:permissions page and search for the yahoo url. Click on the pop up permissions and click allow.
# Go to the "3 bar" menu and click > Options/Preferences > Content > Exceptions...
If this is not the case please post back with more info.

New yahoo mail no response when compose email or reply to sender is selected EI9 browser works ok , is there a setting in Firefox? thanks.

When I upgraded to the new yahoo mail I found I was unable to compose new emails or reply to senders. When I select these functions nothing happens. Internet explorer 9 works fine.
I have McAfee Security Center firewall etc.
I have not noticed any other problems with the Firefox browser.
I contacted yahoo mail support and they tell my email account
functions OK for them. Is there a setting that needs to be tweaked to allow Firefox to work correctly?
Thanks...

Question related to Yahoo Mail

Hi everyone,
I would be surprised if there is anyone here who hasn't seen Yahoo mail, so I am posting my question here.
But, anyways, for those who hasn't, I wanna brush up the basics before I ask the question. Yahoo mail supports a feature, which I am not able to comprehend. While viewing a message, there is a link that says "Mark as Unread" and when U click on it, the message is marked as new immediately.
Now, here comes my question : I have used Javamail quite a bit, to the best of my knowledge, a Folder's new messages are the ones whose RECENT flag returns true. And the RECENT flag is set to false once the message content has been sent to the client in some form or the other. It is clearly specified in the JavaMail API(link pasted below) that this flag CANNOT be altered by the client.
http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/1.3/docs/javadocs/javax/mail/Flags.Flag.html#RECENT
So, How does this Yahoo Mail client achieve this feature? Is there a workaround for this?
Any ideas? Any responses are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
-Uday

A "new" message is one that hasn't been read so it does not have the SEEN flag. You may be confused because of your mail cleint. Clients often keep a read/not read list on the local file system so it may be circumventing your flag manipulation. You gotta remember, with the exception of the DELETED flag, the flags have no real meaning unless the client wants to interpert them to have meaning.
Here's a quick rundown:
A RECENT message is one that has arrive since the last time a user checked their mail.
A SEEN message is one that one that has been "read" by the user.
A ANSWERED message is one that has been replied to.
A DELETED message will be removed next time a folder is expunged.
A FLAGGED message is the semi-common "flag for follow up".
A DRAFT message is just that I guess, I've never used the flag.
Then if the server supports it there are "user" defined flags. I've seen flags similar to Forwarded, NotJunk,

Verizon yahoo mail - use POP3 to download Sent Items?

Hi,
I am using Verizon Yahoo Mail. I'd like to setup a POP3 account in Microsoft Outlook 2010 to download all of my messages onto my hard drive. I managed to get to the point where I am able to retrieve all of the messages in my Inbox, but if possible, I would also like to retrieve the messages that are in my Sent Items folder as well. Can anyone tell me how I can do this.
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Verizon Yahoo utilizes the Yahoo front end for webmail, etc. Usually the problem that generates these errors codes is temporary and will resolve itself if you logout and log back in or simply try again in a couple of hours. If the problem happens everytime it will need to be investigated further.

Safari Version 5.0.6 (5533.22.3) yahoo mail will not support this version . Yet I cannot upgrade to a different version ? What can I do ?

I have a apple ibook and it has safari Version 5.0.6 (5533.22.3) and when I go to yahoo mail it will not load says it is no longer supported. Do I really have to get a different browser or is their an apple safari browser that I can down load. I also have an new apple book pro and it is fine but this older version is my home use computer.

If your Mac is an Intel CPU model then you can purchase a OS X 10.6.3 Snow Leopard upgrade disc from Apple for$20 and then update to OS X 10.6.8.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
If your Mac is an older PowerPC style Mac, then OS X 10.5.8 is as high an OS as your Mac will go.
If your Mac is a much older PowerPC Mac, you could try TenFourFox which is more up to date web browser, based on Mozilla Firefox, for older PowerPC Macs run OS X 10.4 Tiger or OS X 10.5 Leopard.

If your Mac can be upgraded to Snow Leopard, then
Backup your important data and/or your entire Mac OS system before doing a major systems upgrade.

Yahoo mail service(SMTP & POP3) to browser

I think Yahoo mail service(SMTP & POP3) is open only to browser. Is it possible to interact with Yahoo mail service thru URL Programming means thru URL programming to send retrive mail and attachment ? If so then how ? Plz help! It's urgent.
Thanx & Regards,
Chanchal

Is it possible? Sure, it's possible, it's only software after all.
Has someone already done it? Not that I know of.
But then you already know that because you've already read
this FAQ entry, right?

Yahoo mail account is not supporting!

Yahoo mail account is not supported by mail aplication.

Did you ever get this working? I have the same issue. AT&T support couldn't help. Just got my new Class ic yesterday. And it looks like BB may have a bug supporting the regular Yahoo email App? This was hinted at by AT&T, not sure if true. I would love a workaround. They thought it might be the secondary verification feature so I turned it off, but still wouldn't work. I signed in thru BB World, still no success. But nobody in the forum seems to have given any help?

Apple online did a great job on troubleshooting my yahoo mail connectivity issue. They said yahoo has made changes that has affected mail service access. we setup yahoo mail under the IMAP protocol vs the POP. Call apple for help.

It's nice of you to share your good experience with iTunes support with the rest of us here in ASC. I'm glad that it went well for you.

IPhone now supports encrypted Yahoo Mail (iOS 4.2.1) with push!

I was having problems sending email so I took the trouble shooting steps of removing my Yahoo account from the phone and re-adding it (rebooting the phone in between just to be sure).
After doing so I noticed that the iPhone is now connecting to port TCP port 993 to retrieve mail for Yahoo and TCP port 465 to send mail via Yahoo. These are the ports used to receive and send mail using SSL/TLS respectively. See http://www.auditmypc.com/port/tcp-port-465.asp and http://www.auditmypc.com/port/tcp-port-993.asp
In iOS 4.1 and earlier, the iPhone was using ports 143 to retrieve email and 587 to send. These are the ports used when receiving and sending non-encrypted email. See http://www.auditmypc.com/port/tcp-port-143.asp and http://www.auditmypc.com/port/tcp-port-587.asp
There are ways of manually adding a Yahoo Mail account to the phone that sends and receives encrypted mail by going through the other mail settings and entering the servers names by hand, but push mail notifications wouldn't work with that.
So what this all means, assuming this isn't a fluke, is that as of iOS 4.2.1, the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch now support sending and receiving of encrypted mail while still supporting push! That's big news.

I've found sending to be hit or miss. It usually works, but frequently fails for reasons I can't figure out. When it fails, sometimes killing the mail app or rebooting the phone will get sending to work. Other times sending email with a different mail provider (MobileMe for example) gets it to work. Other times I have to turn off "Mail" for the Yahoo account and turn it back on.
I will say that sending email usually works, but I've had 3 instances where it simply stopped working since upgrading to iOS 4.2.1. I don't know if this is a bug with iOS or with Yahoo's servers. I do know that when the server connection fails, that the phone is trying multiple times to reach apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com on TCP ports 587, 465 or 25. I can telnet to that address on any of those ports while this problem is occurring so it seems likely it's an iOS issue.

Safari to support latest BT Yahoo Mail

I had to reinstall Safari however the reinstalled version from Installer Disk won't let me use the latest version of BT Yahoo Mail. I'm stuck with BT Classic. I have run the 'Software Update' and nothing returns. I tried to upload the Apple latest Safari from the BT link but they're for either Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 or Snow Leopard 10.6.8 which are later than my 10.5.4. It was working fine earlier today before the reinstall. thanks.

Safari 5.0.6 for Leopard can be downloaded from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1422
You also need to update your operating system:

Yahoo IMAP support ... sneaky!

I found several references to IMAP support by Yahoo about a year ago (imap.next.mail.yahoo.com, imap.mail.yahoo.com) that worked for a while and then stopped, presumably because of the resources required to support that protocol on top of pop. Then, with their offer of IMAP access to even free Yahoo acounts because of Apple, I read somewhere the new server was imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com. Problem is, it only works IF you use the Yahoo configuration option in Mail settings. If you use a regular IMAP configuration option, it does not work. (Why would I want to use Other? Because I dont want the @yahoo.com as the reply-to address).
So, it seems that behind the scenes, the iPhone is configuring to the correct (and unknown to us) Yahoo IMAP server OR it is embedding some sort of prefix/suffix to our IDs that authorize it to log on to the Yahoo IMAP server ONLY if you use the iPhone configuration tool. I am speculating. Any thoughts?

Someone who has an iPhone should connect it to a WiFi network on which is a computer running an Ethernet Packet sniffer, and then capture a connection from the iPhone to Yahoo mail.
For ordinary POP3 and SMTP access Yahoo use SSL versions, the IMAP SSL port is normally 993 but they could be using a non-standard port. They could also be doing something strange to the authentication, e.g. using MD5 instead of just password or something else like adding additional text to the password e.g. it sends apple.password instead of password, again a packet sniffer like Ethereal might reveal this.
Unfortunately the iPhone is not yet available in the UK so I cannot do this testing myself.
Google should wake up and add push IMAP support themselves, fancy letting Yahoo grab all the glory.
