Safari and Yahoo Mail
For the last few days I have prompted a million times from my yahoo ID and password even though I just logged in as selected "remember me on this computer". Anytime I click on a link within yahoo, I am almost always asked to re-enter the information. This also happens if I stay on one page for too long then try to go to another page.
I've set Safari to accept all cookies, I've changed my Yahoo account settings to prompt me the least number of times. I don't know what else to do. Yahoo suggests that perhaps it's the browser with the problem. Please help. It's real annoying to type a super, duper long email only to hit "send" and then be told my "session" has expired and lose the entire email.
Welcome to Apple Discussions
The "timeout" varies by the type of Yahoo account you are using. If you use "Yahoo Plus" ($20/yr), then your "timeout" period is extended to 24 hours. Also, there are no flash ads appearing. Otherwise, as you have seen, the timeout is much shorter.
If you want your Yahoo sign-in info, including password, to appear automatically, then use SAFT. One of its many features is "leave auto-complete on". Useful feature for the desktop or laptop. On my laptop, I use it to access certain sites, which otherwise would require my entering my password each time. On those sensitive sites, I simply set my keychain password selection to "never for this site".

Safari and yahoo mail not getting along
Safari and Yahoo Mail don't seem to be getting along this past month
Hi powerbook1701!
It is a shame...Yahoo has always been bad with Safari...I think most people here keep a copy of Firefox/Camino for cases like this when webdesigners don't make their pages compatible with Safari. It's not much of a problem anymore but there are still a few sites depending on where you surf...
Actually the reason I started using Mail is because the standard Yahoo mail wouldn't display custom fonts, etc. on Mac. At that time not even with Firefox for Windows. But I'm glad that I switched because I enjoy using Mail much more that Yahoo's webmail which by the way was never good at searching...
Oops this sounds like Yahoo bashing!!! It's not meant to be...just letting you know other people have the same issues you're experiencing...

I had already reported this problem three times through Safari, but I had no answer and yahoo mail beta is already unreachable with Safari 2.0 (mac os x 10.4.8)
Here the first message:
"Why miss out?
To see all the new Yahoo! home page has to offer, please upgrade to a more recent browser.
Supported browsers include:
Internet Explorer 7 optimized by Yahoo!
Firefox 1.5
Safari 2.0 (I have this!)
Opera 8.5
Then I try to access, I insert my user id and pwd but instead of looking the webpage I get a message (from Safari):
to set up UTF 8 in browser's coding; I click ok and the message come back (looply). Then I block the loading of the page, I change the settings under the view menu, but again I have the same message:
What can I do?

Safari and Yahoo mail now incompatible with 10.5.1
eesh. it appears 10.5.1 blocks Safari from signing into Yahoo mail. other browsers work. anyone experiencing this?
The newest Safari is not officially supported yet by the "NEW" AT&T Yahoo email program.
But it works still, it just overrides the request (mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?sysreq=ignore)
It still works with the old one though.
The folks at Yahoo didn't code their pages to be multi- browser compatible.
They expect you to use Internet Exploder.
Might complain to your AT&T folks. -
Not receiving apple mail. Checked connection Doctor. Not connected to server, yet receiving gmail and yahoo mail.
No, I have a Mac and my email connects via our pacbell account we've had for years. However, something in the Preferences/Accounts is not correct I am guessing. Also, it asks for the password and if I put it in and click save through general or viewing, it's NOT saving it and still not allowing me to get email. My husband tried reading about this through our AT&T acct and said to change the incoming server to imap.mail.yahoo.com and outgoing smtp.mail.yahoo;[email protected], but now I can't receive or send any email on my Mac. In advanced not sure if it should be Port of 465 or 900 something or other and SSL checked or not. I called AT&T and they want to take over my machine by charging $15/mos for a year to fix this. Ridiculous.
So, everytime prior to yesterday, when my husband messed around with it, I was getting a POP needs password box, typed in my password, but to no avail..Then it Keychain password popped up and assumed it was the same, but there's no way to change or modify it even using the new password my husband set up through AT&T. I am at a complete loss.
I can access mail through yahoo mail and it takes me to AT&T Yahoo Mail, but no contacts are there so needless to say this is a pain.
I appreciate any assistance you can give me so I can get back on my email as I have for 4 years.
Thanks Hackintosh...I look forward to hearing from you....you can use the email above and it will come to me through my yahoo web page....Thanks again and let me know if you need any other information. If you respond on here, I may not get the answer from you as I didn't know you responded until I came on discussions. THanks -
E51 Gmail and Yahoo mail box access
Dear All
I was trying to configure the gmail and yahoo mail accounts in the new E51 which I have bought. I have correctly configured the mail setup with the correct username and password. But I am getting an error "Invalid Mail for exchange credentials. Check credential settings". The pop up is coming repeatedly on the phone even if am not using the same.
Please help me out for the same.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
JosephHi Guys!
I'm sure by now your problems are solved. Nevertheless, let me simplify this for you. I have both my Gmail and my Yahoo mail setup on my E51 and they work beautifully. One thing you should be aware of is that while Gmail offers mobile & POP access free, you need to upgrade to a business account in yahoo to avail the same. That being said, here are the settings for each:
For Gmail:
Connection Settings > Incoming E-Mail
User name: Enter your complete Gmail e-mail address including '@gmail.com'
Password: Enter your Password
Incoming Mail Server: imap.gmail.com
Access Point in Use: Select the active data connection
Mailbox Name: Whatever you like
Mailbox Type: IMAP4
Security (ports): SSL/TLS
Port: Default
Connection Settings > Outgoing E-Mail
My e-mail address: Enter your complete Gmail e-mail address including '@gmail.com'
User name: Again enter your complete Gmail e-mail address including '@gmail.com'
Password: Enter your password
Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.gmail.com
Access Point in Use: Select the active data connection
Security (ports): StartTLS
Port: 587
User Settings:
My Name: Whatever name you'd like to appear in your sent emails
Send Message: Choose 'Immediately' if you would like your phone to connect to the internet and send the message everytime you send an e-mail. Otherwise choose 'during next connection'

What this means is that mails deleted from you phone will continue to remain on your server and will be accessible the next time you access your mail using a PC.
Retrieval Settings:
E-Mail to retrieve: No choice here. Gmail only allows you to retrieve headers first. If you feel a mail is important you can select it and download the entire message later.
Retrieval Amount: Set how many e-mails you would like downloaded
IMAP4 folder path: This is set to 'Unix path' by default. Let it be
Folder Subscriptions: No changes required here
Automatic Retrieval: Select E-mail retrieval and set it to 'Enabled'.
Retrieval Days: All Days
Retrieval Hours: All Hours
Retrieval Intervalet it to 5 mins if you would like e-mails to get downloaded to your phone almost as soon as they arrive (Like Push E-Mail). Else select a time interval as desired.

I have lost my icloud and yahoo mail accounts. I have followed instructions and all tabs are as they should in my settings
Some things you can try include:
Force close the Mail application (from the home screen, double-tap the home button, locate Mail in the list at the bottom, then swipe up on the image above the app icon to close it).
Reset your phone by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.
Restore your phone.
Try adding your mail accounts again after each one. -
Apple Mail and Yahoo - Mail shows as opened in Yahoo?
I have Gmail and Yahoo mail accounts. When I open my Apple mail, all my Yahoo messages show as opened; Gmail does not. Is there a configuration I can perform to correct this problem? I'd like it to function like Gmail, Exchange or iCloud. Suggestions?
dddog,
Are you accessing the Yahoo email or the email on your computer as POP3?
If so this article would apply:

all tool icons are gone from safari and apple mail tool bars. Tool tips works when you hover over the box with the missing icons. Macbook pro OS X 10.8.4
The boxes that the icons were in are still there, but no iconsHello jo90733,
I would recommend reinstalling Mountain Lion to replace the missing/damaged components of these applications. While the process shouldn't affect any data (images, music, etc) you have on the system, it's always a good idea to have a backup in place prior to reinstalling.
OS X Mountain Lion: Back up your Mac
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11371
OS X Mountain Lion: Reinstall OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10763
Important: You need to be connected to the Internet to reinstall OS X.
Choose Apple menu > Restart. Once your Mac restarts (and the gray screen appears), hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys.
If you’re not connected to the Internet, choose a network from the Wi-Fi menu (in the top-right corner of the screen).
Select Reinstall OS X, and then click Continue.
Follow the onscreen instructions. In the pane where you select a disk, select your current OS X disk (in most cases, it is the only one available).
To start the installation, click Install.
Cheers,

New installed 10.9.1 and yahoo mail in safari is very slow to respond
installed Mavericks yesterday. Safari yahoo mail very slow to load and respond. Not a problem on Firefox.
There is a strong possibility that your Mac's hard drive is failing.
Purchase and external hard drive and format it for Mac extended format with GUID partition scheme and backup your entire system and data using a data cloning app such as CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper to created a bootable copy (clone) of your Mac's internal hard drive to the external drive.
Then you need to bring your Mac into an Apple Store or Apple authorized service center for free diagnosis and quote for repair/ hardware replacement.
Good Luck! -
Macbook Pro having problems in Safari with yahoo mail

Contacted Yahoo tech support? -
Editing a contact in Yahoo Mail it always just "hangs" (doing nothing) when I am using Firefox. Editing the same account using Apple's Safari browser went through without any problem. It seems that Firefox interface with Yahoo caused this.
Just found the answer (it's a reported bug) and a likely solution!
Instead of dragging the group over to the 'To' box in a new email, the suggestion was to just start typing the name of the group. So far it seems to be working!!! -
I cannot really access my email account, since ios 7.1 update. Yahoo keeps asking for password. Despite its input, I can access my account for about ten seconds before I am sent back to password request.
Why use Safari when Yahoo is easy to set up in the Mail application?
You could try and clear the cache and web data in Safari, go to Settings/Safari, Clear History and Clear Cookies and Data. Always worthwhile if the web browser is being problamatic.
