Problems accessing Yahoo email with Mail on iMac

Hi, I can happily access my emails from Yahoo using my iPhone and iPad. However, neither my MacBook Pro or my iMac (both running Mavericks) can access my emails using "Mail". I can use Webmail on Safari ok, but whenever I try to access Yahoo mail with "Mail", I get a message saying I should re-enter my password, or that the Server is unavailable. I have 2 stage authorisation activated, and "Keychain", and I had to enter a special 'Yahoo-generated' password to allow my iOS units to work. However, each time I use my OSX units, an email says an unauthorised attempt to access my mails has been made.
I've tried deleting the account and reinstalling and rebooting etc, to no avail. I think that Yahoo needs to authorise the iMac and Macbook, but I can't work out how to do it.

Ive found the solution to this problem. Its the secondary sign in system used at Yahoo for unauthorised sign-ins. While its possible to authorise an iPad or iPhone using a special one off password, this cannot be done on a desk top. The simple solution is to switch off the secondary security sign-in option.

Problem accessing Yahoo email thru Mozilla; no problem with accessing it thru IE

I go to Mozilla browser, clk on Yahoo, clk Yahoo mail, get a drop down sign in window, sign in my email ID and password, then I get a drop down "Verification: code window; I type what I see but it is not accepted.
I go to Google, clk Yahoo email, my email opens up, no problems at all. I prefer Mozilla Forefox but this is a real problem.

I have a z10 and for the past week i have not been able to access my yahoo mail. many times for past 6 months i had to enter password, but now when i go to settings to accounts to enter, it just spins while loading and i get nowhere.
I have removed battery, i have made sure new updates are in.
one time i was able to enter password and it gave me a pop saying there was an error.
I am able to receive three other email accounts, they have no problems, just yahoo.
I tried to change wifi settings, but that will not change....
I have also lost all the names of my contacts in the phone book area... it is very strange...
the numbers are there, but the names disappear and say that the contact list is empty
my voice control does not work anymore as it says it cannot access contact book
then one time it loads up after a reboot and the telephone lists are all there... and then next time no
i am assuming all this is related?
can someone write me or tell me where/how to post this problem?
Try removing the CARDDAV, CALDAV and email account that are related to the Yahoo account, reboot the phone, and then just use the wizard, and re-create the accounts

Problem accessing YAHOO Email folders on Z10 device

Hi everyone.
There seems to be a problem in problem accessing the folders on yahoo email accounts using z10 device.
I am able to send and receive the email properly using the z10 device. saving drafts are also working fine. But I am unable to access all email that were saved to yahoo folders before my transition to blackberry z10.
I am able to move any email from my inbox to an existing folder under yahoo. and move it back to inbox if required.
But when I try to access a mail that were saved to yahoo folders before my transition to blackberry z10, the following message appears "No enteries in this view". I did mention all folders to sync.- but the systems seems not to be doing that way.
Two scenario's possible:-
1. All folders are not geting sync.
2. Date/ timing issues (restriction) on certain folders coming in picture by default.
Would appreciate if someone could respond how to solve this issue or just forward by the z10 -support email id. plz
Thanks
PG

I'm not able to send emails with mail.ru. Receiving and reading is not a problem. When I create a email with mail.ru its not possible to send it although its stored in my mail.ru account as "still to be send". What can it be??

I'm not able to send emails with mail.ru. Receiving is not a problem. Creating a mail is also not a problem and the mail will be stored at mail.ru as still to be send, only problem is its not possible to send. I noticed the buttons for sending change colour when used but they don't perform. What it is?

Don't know what changed, but all of a sudden able to send emails by mail.ru ...... sorry for bothering.

I have Yahoo mail (POP) account. Mine is working fine at present. I do occasionally get asked for password while sending mail. I have had your issue in the past and it usually clears up in a few hours. Sometimes I sign out and then back in and it starts working again.

Who is your email provider? Have you set up your account manually or was it set up automatically?

How do you set up a yahoo email account on my iMac ?

How do I set up a yahoo email account on my imac?

Unless Yahoo has changed this, you must have a paid Yahoo account in order to access the account with an email client on your computer. You can access a free Yahoo account via webmail access usiing a browser.

When I send an email with Mail, I often confuse the account which I'm using. The result is that I send a message with the wrong account! Is there a way to avoid this (for example a reminder before the email is sent)?

Hi, thanks for the answer, I did that already. Unfortunatly this doesn't help me at all, as I often forget to check the menu. For me composing the message is writing the text, the subject, the person to who is addressed and than press "send".
I often forget to check the "from", and this is a problem because the software select itself one of the accounts.
Isn't there a way at least to put as a default a blank field instead of one of the accounts? or an account which doesn't work so if I forget to specify the "from" I will be rnotofied that the message can't be sent.
I guess this could be a rather common problem for many people!
Thanks

How do I solve MFMessagerdomain 1032 when trying to access yahoo email account

how do I remove MFMessagerdomain 1032 when trying to access yahoo email account I put in password (correct) and still comes up with message

No. Everything was working fine and then it wasn't. I hadn't changed any settings or switched either one off. When the phone stopped working properly I ignored it because I always have my ipad with me but that just sopped working properly and now I am stuffed. I have tried most solutions suggested on here even wiping the ipad clean and re-booting. I did this exactly the same way as when I first got it but still no joy. The same with the phone.

Cannot access MobileMe email with my Palm T/X

I cannot access my email with my Palm software..getting error message saying to use PC or Mac browser. Any suggestions on how I can use my Palm browser to access my mobileMe mail?
Thanks.

Hello mgrschizo, Welcome to the Palm Support Community.
There is no legal way to download the Installation Disk for the TX, due to the fact you've already mentioned - it contains copywritten software that is not "free for the taking". You can purchase the latest version of Docs to Go from Dataviz.com.
Usedpdaparts.com appears to still have some of the disks for sale though:

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
