Problems with my Yahoo-mail account.

I cannot send mails anymore with the Mac Mail, although I still receive mails! If I log in into Yahoo-homepage directly via Safari, everything's working fine. Can anybody help me, please?

What does Mail/Window/Connection Doctor Show? If the server is red, select it and look at the Show Details box.

Mcafee site advisor add on caused problems with my yahoo mail..ahd to disable,but need the mcafee for security..what to do?

all of a sudden i had problems with my yahoo mail..messages and such would not load..tried everything..clearing cache,restart comp etc...nothing..then someone suggested i disable add ons..could only think of McAfee site adviser as the culprit..as soon as i changed that add on to "ask to activate" it seemed to get rid of the problem and i was able to see my messages..but i want the site adviser so how do i fix this problem??

I haven't heard about this conflict before. If your McAfee software is as up-to-date as possible, you might check their forums to see whether it is a known issue.
Meanwhile, since you mentioned Yahoo! mail... As you know, Yahoo has made lots of changes in its mail, including changing servers. While old bookmarks and home page addresses should be redirected to the correct server, this is not happening consistently.
To make sure you are using the latest server for your account, try accessing your mail through one of these pages:
* Yahoo home page: https://www.yahoo.com/
* My Yahoo page: https://my.yahoo.com/
* General mail redirect: https://mail.yahoo.com/

Problems with my yahoo email account using Firefox

I am using Firefox 14.0.1 and I have problems with my yahoo email account. I send an email, the receiver got a good version of my email, but when I see the same email into my sent box I see a differente text. When I use any other Internet browser, I can see a good version of my original email into the sent box.
Why???

Hi,

Is something wrong with the new software update. My battery dies within 4 hours. There are also problems with my e-mail accounts. Can someone help me?

Have you attempted an iTunes restore and setting up as a new device? Sometimes battery life issues can be caused by corrupted iOS software.

Problem with my Yahoo mail

Hello, I have recently both linksys wireless router model number WRT54GC. Ever since I have put it I am having problems with my yahoo mail. I can enter the inbox, read the text of the message but I can not reply, forward, compose or download the attachment. When I take out the router everything works. Can anyone please help me, since there must be something wrong with the settings of the router... Thank you in advance!

Try to login from some other browser like firefox or opera. Try from some other computer. On router you can try settings MTU to 1350, and under security tab, try disabling block anonymous internet requests.

Problems with multiple e-mail accounts on Droid 2 & also can't put phone into Silent mode

I just received my Droid 2 and having a problems with having multiple e-mail accounts.
My original droid worked fine with all of this.
I have 2 different personal e-mail accounts setup.
When I click e-mail, it just defaults to the default e-mail address and I have no way of switching accounts. I have to change the default e-mail account in order to view the other account.
Along with having a shortcut on the home page to each e-mail account, it always just goes to the default one and no way of adding a shortcut to both.
When I did this on the original droid, i could choose which e-mail account I wanted a shortcut for and could obviously have both on the home screen.
I also have found no way to NAME the accounts, ex. Comcast & Work.
That way I could distinguish the difference between the 2 on my home screen even if I could get a shortcut to both.
not sure how this could be overlooked but I sure dont think there is a way to make this happen.
Also, what is with 2.2 System and not allowing you to put it in silent mode?
I updated my original Droid to 2.2 and could no longer make it silent with the volume button on side or going into the sound settings and changing it to silent, it would always stay on vibrate.
And now it does the same thing with Droid 2. I cant make it silent at all.
Any ideas on either issue

ok I got the silent problem fixed.
The update changed vibrate to be always, even when on Silent mode.
The e-mail problem however is stll an issue and I realy hope they release an update to fix this.
I'm sure I'm not the only one with 2 e-mail accounts on their droid.
I never had an original Droid, so I can;t compare to what was on that. For me, I am using the "Messaging" app - it seems to be set up for multiple e-mail accounts better than the email app. Messaging is the one recommended by the manufacturer - give that a try.

STRANGE PROBLEM with "Create New Mail Account.scpt" when creating POP acct.

I am using "Create New Mail Account.scpt" to create a POP account. It creates the account successfully. It fetches the mails successfully. Now the problem begins. After fetching all the mails once if u click "Get Mail" in mac mail, it fetches all the emails again and has now 1 original and 1 copy of the email set which is on the server. I just need 1 copy of the mail set not multiple. Please give me a solution or direct me to a help.
Thanks

Hi amiaba, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I can't quite tell what it's doing, but open Keychain Access in Applications>Utilities, click on your Keychain on the left, put .mac in the search bar, once you find it, double click on it and click show password.
If you have no mail in there try this with Mail quit.
Drag this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Start Mail & see if it steps you through it.
Not sure on the .uk thing, but is Date & Time>Time Zone set to the UK?

Problem with some outgoing mail accounts

I have several pop accounts in Mail. On my home iMac, they use my ISP for outgoing. For example, one account is arizona.edu for incoming; it uses smtp.comcast.net for outgoing. This has worked perfectly for years. Suddenly last week, the outgoing mail stopped working.
The dialog box says the server has rejected the sender address. The only way I can send the message is to edit it, changing the "from" address to my mac.com address.
There's nothing new on my system. No software changes. When this happened, I tried re-entering my account info in Preferences, but no joy. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for chipping in.
This is what I do.
1.Enable IMAP in Gamil settings
2. In iphone setup the mail by using Gmail option.
3. I enter the user name, pswd et
4. I save and it verifies the account
Now if I go to home screen and checks the mail account details again, the pswd field is blank again.
I have set up my yahoo account and it works perfectly well.
Hope the above info helps foryou to understand the issue and help me out.
Thanks,
Alex

I have problem with my Yahoo mail, e-mail take a long time to open (it first opens as a bank page). The provider think is something to do with the browser

Since a couple of weeks my btyahoo email is behaving strangely. It take a while to load when I enter, and if I click on an e-mail it opens a blank, contentless page. After a while I am eventualluy able to see the content, but it is annoying. BT (the provider) had remote access to check the problem and thinks it is something to do with the browser. They suggested I disinstall and install again. Can you advice? Will I lose all my bookmarks if I do so (I have quite a few...)

* The first time you start up any application after turning on your computer is called a cold start, which is why Firefox takes a while to load right away. (I've noticed that future versions of Firefox start up faster on a cold start then Firefox 5.0.1.) Also, a lower amount of RAM could be slowing its start-up down since Firefox is kind of memory hungry.
* As for the second part of your question, press ctrl,Alt, and the delete keys on your keyboard. The Windows Task Manager should start. Go to the processes tab and look for 'firefox.exe'. Right click on the firefox.exe and click 'End Process'. Hit Yes and wait for a minute.
* Then opening Firefox again.
Hopefully this helped somewhat!

Problem with an e-mail account

Good afternoon,
I need help.
I bought N78 few days ago.
But I cannot receive my e-mails there. The situatiion is following:
When I put email address in the phone and I complete the settings, I try to connect. Unfortunately I cannot connect because above mentioned e-mail address is cut and it appears without "com" at the end.
I tried another address - [email protected] The problem is the same but in this case only "m" is cut.
I tried with [email protected] and it works without problem.
Can somebody advise me whether there are any restictions about the number of the letters of the e-mail address?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best Regards from sunny Bulgaria

Compatible issues firefox v37.0.2 with att yahoo mail
Hello: this is my first post,hope I am doing it properly.
I am using W7pro OS and ATT DSL 3.0Mbps dl
I noticed this week that I was unable to save attachments from my ATT Yahoo mail I could view them but no choice as to ware to save them--only choice (save to my comp.)But no ware to be found.
I reinstalled v 36.0.4-preventing auto upgrade-But still had same problem.
At this point contacted ATT support supervisor-we spent about 4hr working on problem--He was using your v 31.5.0--and had no problem accessing and saving attachments using remolt access on my comp.
We also found using my comp.FF v 36.0.4 & v 37.0.2 browser,that we could without any problems access an save attachments--AOL mail-- & mail2web.--& IE--Even when forwarding inaccessible mail to above sites.
He informed me that (ATT mail Yahoo)only uses resources to make them compatible with--Google IE & Chrome &Apple? (basically he was saying,that they would NOT commit resources to FF--any version)BUT he was not allowed to commit.
PS: The last time I know it worked ok was 3-18-15 I have 3 comp.2 wxp pro 1 w7 pro the same problem on all 3--so feel confident not OS related-but compatible problems with FF & yahoo mail.
The ATT support supervisor-was unable to determined the date they may have made changes on their site.without extensive research-which we decided wasn't worth the effort as they wouldn't look in to it.
I hope someone or FF will be able find a workaround-as I do not want to use the browsers they suggest. I LOVE FF.
Thank You Gary

I have no idea what you are asking me to do ??--can you explain at a dummy
level--I wont be offended.
