Setting up a Yahoo account on Mail

I am trying to set up my Mail to receive my yahoo.com account. I am not quite sure how to do this. I put in what I think is the correct info. and it says this:
The POP server “mail.yahoo.com” is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the “Incoming Mail Server” field. If it still doesn’t respond, the server might be temporarily unavailable.
Anybody know what I am doing wrong or how to set this up?
Thanks

Are you using the basic Yahoo mail or the upgrade. In order to receive POP mail, you must have the latter.

Trying to set up a yahoo account in leopard, need help.

i am trying to set up a yahoo account but it wont let me. what are the incoming and outgoing servers for yahoo mail? what settings should i apply? does anybody know how to set up a yahoo account in mail? it says things like "trying to log into pop.mail.yahoo.com failed" and " smtp.yahoo.com failed"

Unless you're a paying member of Yahoo! Mail Plus, you can't use Mail to send and receive email. You can probably send, but definitely not receive. If you're too cheap to pay, then go with a Gmail POP account; it's free.

Deleting emails from a yahoo account through Mail

I am new to the Apple and I am able to get my emails from my yahoo account, but I believe that there is a way to delete the messages from my yahoo account through MAIL. Can I set Mail up automatically to delete these messages from my Yahoo account? Am I correct and if so, how is this done?
Otherwise, it does not seem very useful to access my yahoo account through Mail because I will have to go back to my yahoo account and clean through them anyway.
Thanks

Presumably you have a paid-for Yahoo account which permits POP* access (the free account doesn't). If you have this set up in Mail, go to Mail Preferences>Accounts>the Yahoo account: click 'Advanced' and tick 'Remove copy from server after retrieving a message' (though actually this is the default so it ought already to be ticked): set the pop-up menu below this to 'Right away'.
*i.e. through Mail

What is my outgoing mail server for setting up a new account in Mail?

Hi, I'm trying to set up a new account in Mail so that I check my school e-mail from that application and I've figured out what my incoming mail server is, but what where would I find the outgoing mail server if I want to send through Mail?
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Ask the company providing you internet juice to get online. If it is Comcast, it typically is smtp.comcast.net or mail.comcast.net. If it is Verizon, it is outgoing.verizon.net. If it is someone else it is some SMTP server that is assigned by the company that you pay your bills to get online with.

I can't recieve or send e-mails from my yahoo account in mail. Also, what should I do to repair the screen of my iPad 2 if I don't have any Apple warranty?

For some unknown reason, I have been having issues when sending and recieving e-mails from my Yahoo account in mail on my iPad, but can use mail just fine on my iPhone. Why is this, and how do I fix it?
I accidentally dropped my iPad 2 on Monday, it hit my foot, and the screen cracked. I recieved this iPad some time in August 2011, and no longer have any sort of warrany on it. Should I take it in to Apple and get a replacement, or have a third party fix it? And if so, how much would it cost, and where should I go?

I am glad we were able to get your email working again. Please reach out anytime you need us.
Thanks,
Anthony_VZ

Setting up my msn account with mail

i'm a new mac user and i read posts to set up my msn account on mail. but it keps asking for my password and will not sign me on for mail. i don't know what i'm doing wrong can someone help me? my searches are bringing me in circles

you should be able to do it with no difficulty at all, you can set up the email address from you phone or log onto the BIS site, if using the phone, go to email setup and it will ask you to either setup a bb account or log on, if you already have the account then log on, if not then create it. you can then add the email address and start recieving emails within 20 minutes

Just set up my new ipad Air and cannot set up my gmail account into mail ?

Just set up my new ipad Air and cannot set up my gmail account into mail ?

EASY SIMPLE FIX....
The problem is Google.
I had the same problem, couldn't install Gmail on my ipad or iphone and kept saying wrong / incorrect password, error messages. Worked for hours and hours on this.
It is Google's (optional) 2-step verification system that is to blame.
Google won't tell you this, and instead, they have come up with work arounds, and even telling people to install the Gmail iPhone/ipad app, which then limites the iphone/pad functionality when not using iphone's native mail.
FIX:
Logon to Google...
Go into your Google account preferenes
DELETE your cell number used for 2-step verification...... leave it blank
(it is optional, Google does not require you use 2-step verification)
Thats it. Your'e done.
Now set up your Gmail (now called Google) as usual on your Apple device.
You don't need 2-step (optional) verification.
There are other secure ways to do this. It is an option, but Google goes out of it's way not to tell you this.
(and a great way for Google to gleen your personal information, in the name of security)
Hope this helps someone.

How do I set up an IMAP account in mail

I've tried several times to set up a new account in Mail in Mavericks but it always defaults to a POP account. I can't see any way of setting up an IMAP account. Please help.

Thanks Barney-15E: I've tried holding down the Option key at every option to Continue and I never get the option to configure the account manually, it just always sets up a POP account.
Thanks Donald Morgan: that support article does not help. it has step 4 "Deselect "Automatically set up account" if it is enabled. Click Continue to proceed." but I cannot find any checkbox or other way to deselect Automatically set up account.
I've set this account up as IMAP in every system since OSX came out and I've never had this problem.
Does anybody know how to set up an IMAP account in Mail in Mavericks !?!

How can I set up 2 email accounts in Mail

It's me again.
I'm trying to set up Mail 2.1.3. in 10.4.11. I have 2 email accounts. I can enter one just fine but it won't take another. When I try, it says that I "already have a POP account". How do I set up 2 email accounts? I see where I can enter the 2 email addresses by separating them by a comma. But the 2 addresses have different passwords and the password box takes only one password at a time. Any ideas?

It's hard for me to tell by what has been written so far, but it may be referring to what you are entering for the account description. That is, in Mail Prefs > Accounts > Acct Info, for each account it has several entries: Acct Type (that you can't change), Description, email address, full name. If the first account's description is POP, then make the second account's description POP2. I use terms like, "home", "work", and "school" for my accounts' descriptions.
If this is not what is going on, please write down every step you do, and every entry you make, as you try to configure your second email account and post it back here. Naturally, do NOT disclose your actual email address(es) or mail account login name or its password to us here.

Have deleted a Yahoo account from Mail but it keep asking for password

My Mail on the iMac has several email accounts for my wife and I, we have recently deleted my wifes Yahoo account because of spam mail, as well as deleting it through Yahoo, the email account in Mail was removed. Ever since we have been receiving prompts for the password to the deleted account. I have checked through preferences and there is definitely no reference to the account. Is there something else I need to delete?

thanks mende1 - I have lion and have checked as you have mentioned above - the email account is not listed there - it's still asking for the password though

Setting Up Two Gmail Accounts in Mail...

I'm setting up two gmail accounts in my Mail on my Mac Book Pro. One account connects fine, but the other does not. Preferences and settings appear to be the same...
Can anyone suggest how I could fix this?

Did you enabled IMAP and POP access from Gmail's settings? Open gmail.com and go to settings / forwarding and POP IMAP and make sure everything is ok.
Let me know, bye
