Problem setting up Yahoo Mail Plus

I am in the process of transitioning from Entourage to Apple Mail. I have successfully imported all of the mail from Entourage and have successfully set up my Gmail account in Mail. I am trying to set up my Yahoo Plus account (POP3) but when I get to the Outbound Mail Server screen, set up gets stuck.
I put in all of the smtp information along with my ID and password and I set the SSL and proper port check boxes that matches the Entourage account information but I just get a spinning gear and a message that Mail is trying to contact to the server but it never does.
I spent about an hour in a chat session with Yahoo tech support last night. They checked all of my settings and checked my account access via telnet and verified that everything is working fine. They have escalated this within their support organization but so far I have not heard anything from them.
The strange thing is that my Blackberry is sending and receiving my Yahoo mail without any problems and it was working fine with Entourage. I turned off the Entourage syncing to make sure the two desktop apps weren't hitting up against each other but that made no difference.
Has anyone else run into this issue and/or any suggestions on where to look next for a solution?
Thanks,
David

Hi. my English is very bad. sorry.
use "Mail 4.0" i configure yahoo account (free) and gmail too. and work perfect. first you need to configure yahoo account for access to pop (this is in you web account in config on yahoo.) and in Mail (app) only you need start and introduce your account ej.:
[email protected] and password.
the programs send message error. click continue and put in smtp.: "smtp.mial.yahoo.com"
and pop: "pop.mail.yahoo.com"
for gmail is: "smtp.gmial.com" and pop: "pop.gmial.com"
if you need more detail send me email.
good lock

  • Setting up Yahoo Mail Plus account?

    I recently purchased my first Mac Book Pro. I use Yahoo Mail Plus as my email account.  At the Apple store they were unable to set my email up so that I could access it through the Mac mail app.  I have to access it through my Yahoo browser.  Yahoo has been no help and so far 3 customer service people at the Apple store have failed.  Any suggestions??

    after reading how free accounts works fine and plus accounts tends not to, i think its safe to say this is a yahoo problem. the iphone yahoo wizard is probably meant for free accounts, but plus accounts are setup differently.

  • Can't Send Using Yahoo Mail Plus Account

    I'm a Yahoo Mail Plus subscriber and am having problems sending mail with the Apple iPhone. I only have this problem with my Yahoo Mail Plus account. A second (free) Yahoo account works fine, as does a GMail account.
    Other Yahoo Mail Plus users are reporting the same issue:

    My problem is that when I send an e-mail on my Yahoo Mail Plus account, it is not received by the recipient, nor does a copy appear in my sent mail folder on the Yahoo server. I don't receive any error message -- the mail just never is sent.
    I spoke with an Apple store genius and he suggested deleting the Yahoo Mail Plus account settings on my iPhone and then setting it up again. I did this and it worked for the first 2-3 messages, but did not work again after that (once I had already ended my Genius Bar appointment). I tried deleting my Yahoo Mail Plus account settings a second time later and got the same result -- I was able to send 1-2 messages but none after that.
    My other free Yahoo Mail account is working fine on the iPhone (send/receive) as is a GMail account. And all accounts work properly when accessed directly via a web browser.
    Apple has a support doc about sending e-mail on the iPhone, but this relates to ISP port blocking and doesn't seem to apply to my situation as it happens in various locations with different WiFi providers, as well as when on AT&T's Edge network.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305634
    I even had the problem in the Apple store using their WiFi network, which presumably doesn't have port issues.
    Anyone else having the same problem? Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

  • Problems with Yahoo Mail Plus

    I have a Yahoo Mail Plus account and I can get my mail through Outlook 2007 without any problem, but I cannot receive (muchless send) any e-mail on my iPod Touch.
    My incoming mail server is plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com and my outgoing mail server is plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com. I've deleted and recreated my account on my Touch, and I've deleted my account and had it recreated when I've synced with iTunes. Neither of these methods have worked. My password is correct and I know I've got a WiFi connection because I can go anywhere I like on the internet using Safari.
    Can anybody help me? Please???

    Try this:
    1.) Go to settings (or if you don't have an account setup, just go to the mail app)
    2.) Don't touch the yahoo icon. Hit "other"
    3.) Select POP from the top 3 buttons
    4.) enter your name, email address ([email protected]) and your password
    5.) Enter the host name for the incoming mail server (for yahoo mail, it should be "pop.mail.yahoo.com ". Enter your user name (without the @yahoo.com) and then enter your password you use.
    6.) Enter the host name for the outgoing mail server. It should be "smtp.mail.yahoo.com "
    This was posted by a friend that said he got it working this way - I have not tested as I have no Yahoo! account.
    Here is another set of instructions I found online - again, NOT tested by me.
    1) Open yahoo mail
    2) Click "options" tab in upper right corner
    3) In center column click "pop access and fowarding"
    4) Make sure there is a blue dot where it says Web and POP access, if not click there so that it does. You may also decide your spam choices here.
    5) Click "save" in upper left corner underneath where it says mail
    Now go back to your touch
    1) open settings on the touch
    2) tap mail
    3) tap add account
    4) tap other
    5) tap POP
    6) put your name in
    7) add your yahoo email address
    8) it will show your yahoo account again as the description
    9) under incoming server mail host name, type in pop.mail.yahoo.com
    10) type in your user name
    11) type in your password
    12) under outgoing mail server host name, type in smtp.mail.yahoo.com:465
    13) type in your user name
    14) type in your password
    15) tap advanced
    16) under advanced make sure that SSL is on, authentication is set to password
    and that the server port is 995 for incoming and 465 for outgoing

  • E63 Yahoo email set up without Yahoo mail plus

    Is there a way to set up Yahoo mail to my E63 device without  a Yahoo mail plus account?
    I have a standard Yahoo mail account. When I go to mail options, and trying to set up POP & Forwarding, I will not be able to do anything without upgrade to mail plus. Is there a way to get around this? I do not want to use Yahoo mobile either. Thanks for your help.

    @ Weitl 
    I use emoze and have tried seven.  Seven works great but drains battery and uses lots of memory.  Emoze mail will work with yahoo regular mail.  http://www.emoze.com/.    http://www.seven.com/.  Both work great.  Seven integrates a little better into native messaging application with contacts but I prefer emoze.

  • Palm Centro Issue With Yahoo Mail Plus POP via Versamail

    I have a Palm Centro and have been using Versamail for 3 1/2 years with my Yahoo Mail Plus account via POP. On September 12th I stopped having the ability to send or receive POP email on my Yahoo Mail Plus account. I have spoken with Sprint & Yahoo. I have done all the steps they have asked and I have even gone as far as replacing my phone with another Palm Centro and still have the same issue. I know the config is correct as it was working for so long. I can use my Gmail POP in Versamail fine. I receive the error when setting up the Yahoo Mail Plus account in Versamail when I click on "Test Settings" I receive the following... "Error connecting to server. Please check your network or server settings and re-sync." Does anyone have any ideas about this? Thanks.
    Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

    actually some e-mail providers like yahoo free account, msn mail and free hot mail does not work with the mail application, as you told me that it needs to enable the pop server for such mail
    and about the iphone are you sure that ur using the mail application in iphone, you must be using safari to browse through ur mails
    yahoo mail plus is compatible with the mail application but it comes for a price so here you could either use safari to go through your mail or go in for some other free account like AOL which will work with the mail application

  • Have Yahoo Mail Plus, which does not allow ads. When on my work computer and log into my Yahoo account, ads do appear?? This does not happen on Explorer. Help

    Have a Yahoo Mail Plus account, which does not allow for ads. It works fine on Explorer, but when used on Firefox the same ads always appear both at the top and left margins "Dr. Oz New Weight Loss Secret". Yahoo says it is a Firefox issue. Please help.

    another thing you can try is to [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]].
    in case there are still adverts shown in places where they aren't supposed to be afterwards, it sounds like an issue with malware on the system. please run a full scan of your pc with the security software already in place and different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx microsoft safety scanner] or [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan].

  • Yahoo Mail Plus popping from Exchange Server 2003 Issue

    Hi, while I know that this is a little off topic, I really want to try the Yahoo direct push email solution with my iPhone. My problem is that when I configure the Yahoo Mail Plus service to retrieve emails from my corporate exchange server, it fails with a time-out error message. The really confusing part with all of this is that Gmail works perfectly. I know that I am put in the correct parameters, since Gmail has no problem popping my email from the exchange server. Is there anything special I need to have done to make this work? Here's a sample of the information I am using to configure Yahoo to retrieve my email:
    Server: mail.corporateserver.com
    port #: 995 (secure pop 3)
    username: same as my domain name in MS Active Directory
    password: same as used to login to MS Active Directory.
    Again, this configuration works perfectly on Gmail. If Gmail could push to my iPhone, I would just stick with it. Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Jules

  • Problem setting up smtp mail out .

    Hi all you good people .
    I am having a problem setting up the mail program . I'm using mail two under os-x leopard 10.5.7 . I have the pop mail working fine , but for some reason or another it wont send the mail out . I remember I got it working before , but it was a pain in the butt to do . So I ma forced to use Microsoft Entourage for my mail receiving and sending . I think Microsoft Takes more skill to use than the apple mail program .
    I would love for someone to help me solve this . My mail server is from time warner . I use there High speed internet for my mail access .
    P.S Roadrunner .

    Hi,
    I assume you are using Mail 3.6, and not "mail two"?
    What Authentication are you using on this SMTP? If not already, try using None, and removing Password and Username from SMTP setup for at least one test. Most Roadrunner SMTP are authenticated by reference to the IP address of your Modem, and using a separate authentication of the SMTP results in failure.
    Mail Preferences/Accounts/Account Information, then click on the arrows beside the name of the SMTP in the section on Outgoing Server. After you click on the arrows, choose Edit Server List. Then if the SMTP is set up with the correct name, etc, click on the Advance Tab, use Custom Port with Port 25, None as authentication, and do not enter any Username and Password. Under authentication of None, the name of the SMTP will not have your Username appended. This is the equivalent, after having previously done the set up, to those email clients with a setting to use the info of the Incoming for authentication.
    Let us know, but Roadrunner can vary from area to area on this, but this is the way it seems to always work.

  • How can I sync iPhone "Notes" with Notes Folder in Yahoo Mail Plus Account?

    I am trying to sync my iPhone 3gs "Notes" (ios 5.0.1) with my Yahoo Mail Plus Account.  In "Settings", "Mail, Contacts, Calendars", "Yahoo Mail" Account , the "Notes" button is turned ON.  When I open my Yahoo Mail Account on my PC, a "Notes" Folder has been created, but it is EMPTY.
    How can I get the data in my iPhone Notes application to show up in my Yahoo Mail Plus "Notes" Folder?
    Message was edited by: marose0001

    There is now a separate Notes application. It is not part of Mail.

  • Are there adv/disadv to Yahoo Mail Plus v. using basic mail progr w iMac

    I am brand new Mac user, switching from Dell laptop to iMac. Have had mail sent through Yahoo Mail Plus to Outlook for years. Unsure whether this is good idea now that I'm switching to iMac. Yahoo subscription due immediately so need to make decision. Thanks!

    Hey Adorone,
    This is the iPhone Mail, Contacts and Calendar forum. The Forum for 10.5 Mail and Address Book is located here: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1223
    If you want to keep using the email client on your computer and not using the web based mail, you'll need the Yahoo! Mail Plus service. With that service you get POP access.
    You can enter the POP information in the Mail.app in Mac OS X, like you entered in Outlook.
