Problems with yahoo mail on Mail

Hello
I have configured Mail (Lion ) to get my mails from yahoo mail. It gets all my mails but the gear won't stop moving as if it is receiving mail. I have tried sending mails to myself and I get them, but it won't stop.
After a while a window opens and asks me for the password, I write it down but then again another window opens and asks for the password again and again.
I choose cancel and then nothing happens
And I'm still on the same loop.
Anyone can give me a suggestion?
Thank you

Yahoo Mail has been down for certain times yesterday and also today Tuesday June 19, 2012.
There is a website called Down for Everyone or Just Me that you can check to see if there is a disruption.
I have been having problems with Yahoo lately, also.
They are having so many problems that it is almost not worth using.
I rely on Road Runner lately.

  • Problem with Yahoo IMAP and Mail...

    I'm having an issue with my Yahoo IMAP setup and mail on my desktop:
    I have set up my yahoo email account with IMAP on both my iphone 4 and with mail on macbook pro.  It has worked fine, all my folders are synced up on both devices and everything runs well except for one small problem.  When I read an email on my Iphone, the mail program on my macbook pro never knows.  Every day I come back to my computer, and all of my yahoo emails remain as "new" and "unread" even though I had checked all of them on my iphone.  Its very weird because the opposite is not true - in other words - if I check a Yahoo email on my macbook pro, then my Iphone recognizes it and will show it is "read" as soon as I read it on macbook pro.
    I also have an IMAP work email hosted by gator and a gmail account and I do not have this problem, its only on my yahoo account.  I have tried the following settings:
    Incoming server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
    Outgoing server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    Incoming server - apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com
    Outgoing server - smtp.apple.mail.yahoo.com
    I have set everything to ssl with ports 465 and 993.  Still keep getting this same problem that my macbook pro does not recognize when emails have been read on my iphone (for only the yahoo account).
    Anybody else having this problem or have any suggestions on how to fix??

    http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mobile/comms/mail/imap-01.html
    To set up IMAP on your mobile device please use these settings:
    Incoming Server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
    Outgoing Server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    Incoming Port - 993 (requires SSL)
    Outgoing Port - 465 (requires SSL/TLS)
    Username: full email address (for example, [email protected] or [email protected])
    Password: the password you login to Yahoo! with.
    If you are having trouble setting up IMAP on your mobile device we recommend reviewing your phones instruction manual or contacting your mobile provider for support.
    http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78799
    You can use the following information to configure IMAP with many mail clients. If you encounter difficulties, we suggest contacting your mail client's customer support department for further instructions -- we're unable to provide assistance with configuring mail clients not listed here.
    Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - requires SSL:     imap.gmail.com
    Use SSL: Yes
    Port: 993
    Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS:     smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
    Use Authentication: Yes
    Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)
    Port: 465 or 587
    Account Name:     your full email address (including @gmail.com) Google Apps users, please enter username@your_domain.com
    Email Address:     your full Gmail email address ([email protected]) Google Apps users, please enter username@your_domain.com
    Password:     your Gmail password
    Please note that if your client does not support SMTP3 authentication, you won't be able to send mail through your client using your Gmail address.
    Also, if you're having trouble sending mail but you've confirmed that encryption is active for SMTP in your mail client, try to configure your SMTP server on a different port: 465 or 587.

  • Unusual Problem with Yahoo and Apple Mail

    I hope it doesn't turn out that the user is the thing that is "unusual." 
    Background:
    Devices: MBP, iPad, iPhone, iMac
    Mail accounts: Gmail, mobileme, Yahoo
    MBP settings: uses "default ports", SSL, and user name and password - Advanced Tab: Port 993 and SSL
    iPad/iPhone settings: SMTP server settings - grayed-out - with SSL checked and Port 465
    As of last night, I found four messages that were stuck in my Sent box, with the spinning gear that would not stop.  This only happens when using my Yahoo account, and it only happens when sent from my MPB.  It is also only related to outbound messages. 
    Now for the part that has me perplexed.  My password for Yahoo (web), is the same as the password on my MBP (Apple Mail).  The passwords that I have on the iPhone and iPad, are the same for both, but they're different than the password for the previous two that I mentioned.  When I changed the password on my MBP to match the one that's on my mobile devices, it came up with an error for an incorrect username or password.  
    How can I have different passwords and still have mail working?  What am I missing?  Also - more to the point of my issue, can anyone offer some suggestions as to why the outbound side of Apple Mail, is not working for Yahoo?
    Thank you.

    Sorry...it's too bad you can't delete questions...  Problem solved - port number needed to be changed, and the password was deleted for some reason.  I still don't know why I see two different passwords for the same account....  Thanks for looking.

  • Password problems with yahoo and mac mail

    I am asked almost every time now to give my password and save to key chain.  This works for one email send/receive then askes again even though ive stored it!!! HELP

    you need to quit the mail application completely.
    then open your utilities (located within the application folder in the finder window)
    in the utilities open the keychain access
    on the left side in the top section choose login and in the bottom section choose passwords
    locate all passwords that are listed that pertain to the yahoo email address you're having this issue with
    after you remove all the email passwords from the keychain, click on the word keychain in the top left corner and quit the keychain.
    close the utilties and then reopen the mail app and when promprted for the password again enter it and choose to save to the keychain. this should resolve the issue you're having.

    With Yahoo Mail, and anotare account (Inacap Mail), I can only receive mails but I can't send emails. I don't know if this is a problem of the iPad or it is a problem with yahoo mail, because using Gmail and the email of my job I don' have this problem.

    Google them to confirm the settings that you need for the outgoing server, then check the setting you entered on the pad.  Pay real close attention to the outgoing server name, and port.  You may need to change in on the pad. 

  • Is anyone having problems with Yahoo mail please ?

    Hi,
    I am having problems with yahoo mail.  I have to log in and out a few times before the inbox will open.  Having eventually got in, it fails to delete. 
    So I'm asking if others are experiencing similar problems please ?
    Best regards,
    dfenceman

    Hi,
    This problem seems intermittent.  It was working OK earlier this morning but now I can't open emails, I'm getting the following error message "We’re sorry, but there appears to be a problem loading the email".
    If I try forwarding the message to an alternative email address, as suggested on the Yahoo community forum, I get this error message "Yahoo Mail is having a problem retrieving the original email for reply or forward."
    Has anyone got a fix, or even a workaround please ?
    Can the mods help with this ?
    Best regards,
    dfenceman

    I ahve the same problem, I had to re-intall the OS on my phone and since then both of my Rogers email account are refusing to let me access the CARDDAV.
    When I try to add the CARDDAV I get the following error : At This Time Your Contacts Account Can`t Be Added. Please Try Again Later
    I have been trying daily for the past two weeks with no success, and the same thing is happening on the PlayBook (I tried to change the password on the accounts to see if it would solve the problem)
    Using the Playbook and the Z10 and the Z30 and loving them

  • If you have problems with Yahoo, start FF4 in safe mode and see if it works. If yes, you have a problem with one of your add-ons.

    Apparently some of your "good" add-ons do not work right with FF4. If you have a problem with YAHOO MAIL, start FF4 in Safe Mode (Restart with add-ons disabled from the Help menu). Then try your Yahoo again. If everything works, then the problem is with one of your add-ons. You can selectively work out which add-on is the problem. For a lot of these user problems, this should help... worth a try anyway.

    Anything?

  • Problem with Yahoo Messenger for Blackberry 10

    Hi Blackberry Team,
    I've recently encountered a problem with Yahoo Messenger 10.1.0.88 on my Blackberry Q10 running OS 10.1.0.4181 software. It had been working fine for like a month after I purchased this phone from the authorized shop in Thailand until a few days ago it started showing the message within seconds after signed-in: 'Your connectino to the instant messaging provider has been lost. You can wait for the connection to be re-established or close the application and try logging in later'.
    This is only when I'm on 3G cellular network. It works fine through Wi-Fi connection. 
    I did some research on website and found that the latest version of Yahoo Messenger for Blackberry is actually 10.1.1.16 released on Sep 30th, 2013 but, for some unknown reasons, my Blackberry World only shows the '10.1.0.88' (which already installed on my phone) as the latest version. 
    I really need this for work as I'm communicating with international bankers over yahoo. Please help look into this problem and get it fixed at your earliest possible. Thank you.

    I have the same problem with my z10 always unknown error it getting me crazy

  • Proxy problem with Yahoo search returned links

    We have two BM servers here. Older one Netware 6 sp5 w/ BM 3.7 sp3 that works well. A replacement that I have had up but not currently using much Netware 6.5 SP8 w/ BM 3.8 sp5. The latter one has a problem with Yahoo search results. If I point a workstation to the older NW6 BM it works fine in Bing, Google & Yahoo. If I point it to the NW6.5 BM then it will work fine in Bing and Google but in Yahoo it will return the results but when you click on any link there I get this message:
    Yahoo!
    Yahoo! - Help
    The requested URL was not found on this server.
    Please check the URL for proper spelling and capitalization. If you're having trouble locating a destination on Yahoo!, try visiting the Yahoo! home page or look through a list of Yahoo!'s online services. Also, you may find what you're looking for if you try searching below.
    Any ideas? I have no access rules enforced. Anything that might be of help would be greatly appreciated.....Thank you!

    1. Verify that you use the same proxy.cfg on both servers and the same
    settings like persistent connections.
    2. Compare both traces, the working one and the non working one. See if
    the returned link from yahoo is the same on both traces and it is coming
    from the same server. You may have another firewall/router up in the
    path causing the issue.
    3. Before taking the lan traces on the netware server using pktscan.nlm,
    unload proxy, load proxy -cc to clear cache. Then take the traces and
    see at what point the non working one differs from the working one.
    check that info is coming from the same up server

  • I have owned my MacBook Pro for several months.  Initially, I did not have any problems.  Now I have a problem with Yahoo Mail.  I can open my account, but when I try to get at my mail, 2 out of 3 times I get the spinning ball that never stops.  Now what?

    I have owned my MacBook Pro for several months without having any problems with it. Recently I am having trouble with my Yahoo Mail.  I can open it fine, but 2 out of 3 times when I try to actually open a message, the spinning ball comes on the screen and does not stop. Sometimes, I can log out or force quit and come back in to my account and use it.  Other times, I run into the same problem.  Any suggestions?

    No, your Yahoo account is not in iCloud (which only handles iCloud mail), it is in Yahoo, and the Yahoo mail account is on your iPad.
    But the MacBook Pro will have none of it! I write this question now as I fear that I will be totally demented very soon and unable to formulate my thoughts clearly!
    Get the correct settings for your account from Yahoo and set it up manually.
    By the way, I also find the "password" issue problematical. It seems Apple want my Apple password rather than my eMail password. All very confusing.
    That would depend on what you are trying to do.

  • Safari 6.0.2 problems with Yahoo Mail Classic "Compose"

    Since upgrading to Mountain Lion I have had two problems using Yahoo Mail “Classic” in Safari 6.0.2 (8536.26.17). 
    First when composing a new message, the Formatting Toolbar is missing.
    Second, contacts do not appear as I type in the To:/Cc:/Bcc: address sections of a message, nor does the address book if I click on To:/Cc:/Bcc:
    All Yahoo Mail features work correctly with Firefox & Chrome, it seems as though Safari is the only browser with an issue.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Many Thanks in advance.

    Others have reported the same issue:
    Mountain Lion/Safari 6 doesn't work...: Apple Support Communities
    There's a chance you might be able to get it to work by enabling the Develop menu in Safari's Advanced preferences, then selecting Develop > Disable Site-specific Hacks. I don't recommend it, though. Just use another browser for that site.
