Question about Pushing ATT ISP Email Through Yahoo Push Account

So as I understand it, ATT doesn't allow outbound mail server access remotely (must use Edge), so a common workaround is to create a yahoo account with a subaccount equal to your ISP mail username, password, etc.
Ive done this, and it appears to work reasonably well, but can anyone tell me if it is possible to set this up so that the ISP address email is "pushed" as well as the yahoo address mail? In other words, I have to actually log into the yahoo mobile account and "check other mail" before the ISP mail shows up (versus the yahoo mail which is "pushed" to me without any manual intervention on my part).
I've got the feeling I've just got a simple configuration problem with the yahoo account, but I'm having a brain ****.
TIA

The ability to send with an SMTP server when connected to an internet service provider via wi-fi depends on the ISP - if the SMTP server is outside of the ISP's network, or not provided by the ISP.
Most ISPs don't block the use of SMTP servers that are outside of the ISP's network as long as the SMTP server is authenticated - and the same applies when connected to the internet via at&t's EDGE network.
I access a .Mac account and a business POP account with my iPhone. Both accounts have an authenticated SMTP server, and I have no problems sending with either account regardless when connected via various wi-fi networks and different ISPs associated with each, and when connected to at&t's EDGE network.
If Yahoo allows for accessing a different email account through their incoming mail server, I don't believe they provide for Push-IMAP account access for such an account when doing so.

Cannot send email through yahoo on iPad 4, apple.smtp.mail.yahoo not available as of December 1, 2012

I am unable to send emails through yahoo on my ipad 4 wifi, just starting over the weekend. My 3 other non-yahoo email accounts are working fine on my ipad. When I try to send an email from the yahoo account, I receive the message that the connection to the outgoing mail server "apple.smtp.mail.yahoo" failed. I can send email through yahoo just fine on the web and on my computer through Thunderbird.

Yahoo's been having persistently random issues for months. You can try just waiting it out, or delete and readd your yahoo account. When my accounts were affected I just used webmail to access my yahoo accounts until it cleared up.
Chances are it's all on their end and really all you can do is wait it out.

I need help syncing my computer outlook email (through Yahoo) with my iphone. When I delete an email on my computer it is still in my inbox on my phone. Please help.

Your computer is probably set up to access your Yahoo mail using POP3. POP3 does not synchronize with the server. For full synchronization, you will need to use IMAP instead. See the Yahoo mail help pages for instructions on how to configure your mail client.

Why can I access Internet, and get my email through yahoo, but can't access email when I use the mail icon on the front of my tablet. It just started doing this today.

Why can I access the Internet, even get my email by going through yahoo, but as of this morning I can not access my email from the mail icon on my tablet screen. It just started doing this today. When I try to get my email by going through the icon, I am asked to enter yahoo password. I do this, then the box just pops up again, and again and again never letting me get signed in. Don't know what I am doing wrong. Need help!

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.

Send email through Yahoo mail or Gmail with Java

I have a java email program that can take a mail host name , port number and then send an email, but I don't want to use the mail host at work, I wonder if I can send email through my Yahoo Mail or Gmail account with Java, do they have any Java API that my program can log me in and send emails ? Any sample code available ? Thanks.
Frank

Thanks for reminding me, I did some search on "Yahoo" and "Gmail". For Yahoo someone posted some code that didn't work, for gmail, there seems to be a solution for sending email from command line. I wonder if I can send full fledged email : with CC, BCC, Attachment, Html email with images inside ...
I've done it with a local mail host, but how to do it with Yahoo or Gmail ?

Have you read the JavaMail FAQ? Search for "Yahoo" and "Gmail".

Best Practices: Question about Passing DataSet to Crystal through C#

I have used the tutorial provided by Business Objects and have successfully passed a dataset from C# code to Crystal Reports.
I have a few questions about "best pratices" though.
It appears that when passing the dataset to crystal then you no longer have the ability to put SQL Expressions in the report anymore otherwise errors will occur.
So, I'm trying to come up with a way to have a custom field in the SELECT statement and have it show up on the report as a field. So, in the below example I created a custom SQL field called TIMES7 in the query.
"Select CLM_ID, CLM, PAID_111X, *(PAID111X * 7) As TIMES7*_ From WIKI.MULCRICKET WHERE CLM_ID < 5"
If I create a formula field in Crystal and set it's value to {MULCRICKET .TIMES7} then it works like a hybrid SQL Expression at run-time.
This does work but has issues because the database field doesn't really exist in the design environment which causes error when the formula is saved. But it does work at run-time.
I was wondering if their was a best practice for this?

So why are you using a formula that doesn't work? If it errors in the designer it's telling you it's not supported.
Drop the formula into a filed and hide it if you don't want it displayed, this way it gets into the record selection formula.
"Best Practices" is don't use formulae that won't verify in the Designer. "If it doesn't work in the designer it won't work in code"
If you need to add an "unknown" field at run time then use RAS to insert the field.

Question about using a SATA drive through an Epress34 card???

I have a basic question about OSX and how it treats a SATA drive hung from an Express34 SATA card. So OSX just treats any drive as a mounted drive as far as I know bbut what about when booting...
If, at boot up, I use the 'cmd C' option to select an external SATA dirve hanging off of an Express34 SATA card, will OSX see that drive as if it just were the internal drive in the MBP or is there some inherant difference between the real internal drive and any other SATA drive?
I guess the question is... does the cmd C option really just tell the OS to treat this drive as though it were the interal drive and boot from it (assuming the drive is bootable of course) or is ot doing something else.
If that is the case, why can't I use an external drive and install BootCamp on it, assumiong that I booted from this drive?
Is there a difference between an external SATA drive from an Express34 card and an external firewire drive?
TIA,
Peter

Isp email through Apple Mail on iMac?

I am in Cleveland, Ohio and have ATT-uverse bundled service. It takes hours to find a person to talk with vs. the ATT computers. Several day ago my @sbcglobal.net email quit connecting to my Apple Mail app. Apple tech told me I needed specific info from ATT and gave me a set of questions to enable configuring after ATT changed settings on ATT.mail. ATT techs do not know seem to have the info needed. Does someone else with an iMac using ATT-uverse including Internet? Terry

Check the AT&T Support page for email server settings:
Email server settings (POP and SMTP)
It has all you need to know to set a mail client (any mail client) for POP/SMTP, assuming here that is what is being used.
FWIW, while I don't think it makes a difference, somewhere, sometime, AT&T quietly changed the documented POP/SMTP server names. Where it was once pop.att.yahoo.com/smtp.att.yahoo.com, it is now inbound.att.net/outbound.att.net. I still think the yahoo servers work though.
Note, I also have AT&T U-verse and never have any problems with their mail servers. Full disclosure though. I don't use Mail.app as my mail client except to answer questions in these forums like this. But Mail.app works every time I fire it up.

RESIZING & ATTACHING PICTURES IN EMAIL THROUGH YAHOO

I am trying to just attach and send pictures from my Yahoo! email. But they are to big in iPhoto and I can't seem to figure out how to resize them (make them smaller pixels). Shouldn't there be some kind of option where I can resize them myself manually so I can send them without having to go through the Apple mail program? this is annoying me! =)

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There are two ways you can do it.
1 - use the Mail program and set the image size you want, small, medium, large, etc. Once Mail is open and the photos are in the new email window, drag them to the desktop to use in your Yahoo Mail via the browser. Just use the Mail button and Mail application to quickly get the photos in the size you want.
2 - export the photos out of iPhoto to the desktop using the File->Export->File Export menu option with the Size option set to Custom. There you can set the maximum dimension to whatever you want in pixels.

Question about setting up an email server

I want to store my own mail in a dedicated server I have but I don't know if it's possible to send and receive email reliably if I'm unable to change the server's PTR record. Anyone has any experience?

Hi there,
I know it has been quite a few days but better late than never i guess
First of all, PTR record has nothing to do with receiving emails so you will be ok for that part.
For out going emails, short answer is I have seen quite a few servers run without matching PTR records so it leads me to believe it is possible. It will probably increase the spam score of your messages so you may want to look at things like SPF and DKIM to balance that.
Long answer goes something like this:
In an effort to minimimize spam on my servers I have set my MTA (postfix) to reject emails that don't have have matching reverse dns records. It backfired big time. I found out even some of the biggest companies don't have proper PTR setup so it was rejecting all kinds of valid emails and I had to disable the check. This leads me to believe all the big hosting companies/ISPs don't block emails based on their originating server's PTR so you should be good to go. You "might" run into problems with paranoid mail servers but in my experiance it doesn't really happen.
Also if you are setting the server up at home/small office make sure your ISP doesn't block port 25 as most does. You can also contact your ISP to see if they would agree to set up an PTR record for you. If they agree it would be one less thing to think about

Problem getting my email through yahoo

Unfortunately, I had to uninstall Mozilla Firefox as I could not access my Yahoo emails. Would not open my email, but found if I would right click on the mail tab, it would then open. In order to read my email I had to perform the same thing on each individual email. However, I could not delete, send to SPAM or respond.
I love Mozilla Firefox. But until this is resolved, I can't use it and am tied to Internet Explorer which is really bad. But at least I can read and get into me emails.

Same problem, intermittently, for me. And I'm using a Mac computer [non-Intel] with OS X 10.4 Tiger.
Seems strange that Firefox engineers don't have Firefox tweaked to handle yahoo mail, considering how many HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of yahoo mail users world-wide. It might be the most-used website on the Internet. So that means more Firefox users are finding Firefox inadequate to meet their needs.
Guess I'll go back to using Safari till Firefox engineers make Firefox capable of functioning on major websites without glitches.

Again question about restricting access to files through URL?

I found many topics about this, but every time it is some special case.
I want to ask it simple. How can I restrict access to some files in my application through entering URL in Browser, no matter if I am logged or not.
For example I have included JSP files with jspf extension. I don't want to access them through url. How can I do this?

May be it will work, but it seems somehow workaround decision - one half of jsp files in one place and another part in other place.

Question about Apple ID/iCloud email/and purchases?

Hi,
I know that these have been discussed at length, but I want to ask these two question for myself to get a definite answer, Pleas help me!
1. Does an iCloud email alisas act just as a regular email? I can send from the new address, recieve email from people mailing to this new address, and sign into my content with this new address just as if it was the original one?
2. I really want a new iCloud account to start over. I have had an Apple ID for years before iCloud came out. If I delete my iCloud account and create a new one, will it be integrated with all my past purchases? Are the Apple ID and iCloud account sparate? I want to keep my Apple ID, but be able to sign into it and access my purchased content from my new iCloud account? Can this be done.
I am really grateful!!

An email alias will act just like you iCloud email address, and it will receive incoming mail at the same inbox. It will be added to your existing iCloud account/ID so you can continue to sign into your account with your current ID.
Your iCloud ID is separate from your iTunes account ID. You can keep your current iTunes ID and add a second ID for your new iCloud account; they do not need to be the same. If you want to migrate your data to a new iCloud account, on your device go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account (this only deletes the account from the device, not from iCloud). When prompted choos Keep on My [iDevice]. Then set up a new account with a different ID and turn your iCloud data syncing back to On, and when prompted, choos Merge to upload the data to your new account.
