Can't set up mail with yahoo email address..

I apologize if this has already been asked, but in setting up Mail, i keep getting an error while trying to set up my yahoo account. Will the mail program work with web based email? if this has been asked before, please direct me.
Thanks!
-Ryan

Hi Ryan
Mail will not work with Yahoo's free email service, but will work if you have the paid Yahoo service. This is because the free service does not allow mail access by POP mail clients.

HT5622 When my daughter got her first iphone we set it up with my email address, she now has her own email & new iphone. I want to use my email address for my icloud, can I delete the content from the icloud account and continue to use my email?

When my daughter got her first iphone we set it up with my email address, she now has her own email & new iphone. I want to use my email address for my icloud, can I delete the content from the icloud account and continue to use my email?

Yes, but be sure she is on a separate iCloud account with a separate ID before deleting anything. Be sure there is nothing that you want to keep on your device too. When you delete the data from iCloud it will be deleted from all devices signed into the account. Then you can delete the data from the existing account by doing the following:
To delete the contacts, go to iCloud.com from your computer, log into your iCloud account and open Contacts, click on All Contacts on the left, to the right click on any single contact to select it, click on the Actions (gear shaped) icon at the bottom left and choose Select All, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
For Calendars, open the calendar on icloud.com, click Edit on the bottom left, then tap the minus sign to the right of each calendar to delete it.
For Notes, open notes on icloud.com, click on each note on the left, then click Delete at the top to delete it.
For Reminders, open reminders on icloud.com, click on each reminder and press your Delete key to delete it.
For Mail, open your mail on icloud.com, click each folder on the left (such as your inbox), click on a single message to the right, press Control-A on your keyboard to select them all, then press your Delete key. Repeat this for each of your mail folders except Trash. When finished, click on the actions (gear-shaped) icon on the bottom left and select Empty Trash.
If you also want to delete your iCloud backups you can go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage on your device, tap the name of your device under Backups, then tap Delete Backup.

Having trouble setting up Mail with a POP account

I am trying to set up Mail with my Universities webmail service, and according to their tech page I need to set it to POP. I also made sure that I have the incoming and outgoing mail servers correct, and i've made certain that I am entering my username and password correctly. But when it loads and trys to get my mail it says that the password I supplied is incorrect, but I know that's not true. I am absolutley sure that both the username and password are entered correctly.
Does anybody know how I might fix this?
p.s. my girlfriend is having the exact same problem, so it isn't just me entering something wrong

I know you said the usernames/passwords are correct but, (if you can), login via webmail using those same strings, see if that works.
Write the text to a note and copy and paste from there so you are sure you've not input something wrongly.
Failing that do a quick keychain first aid too.
If that don't work then I'm out of ideas, (for now at least).

Once completed the form, is it possible to receive the confirmation e-mail with a link addressing to a html archive?

Once completed the form, is it possible to receive the confirmation e-mail with a link addressing to a html archive?

I don't know if it is the best solution but you could filter the results to just that client's answers on the summary tab and then PDF that.

Can't set up Mail with Exchange

Searching has shown that there seem to be a lot of problems with Exchange and Mail, but I wanted to check and see if there's anything else I can do to fix this. My Exchange server works fine with the iPhone and with Entourage, but with Mail it will never sync. I don't want Exchange calendar and contacts, just e-mail. I'm not sure if I'm setting it up wrong - there doesn't seem to be a place to put the domain name? Could that be a problem, or is this just a hopeless quest? I have heard that Snow Leopard should support Exchange, so maybe I will just wait it out. I'm just trying to get switched away from Entourage altogether and I don't like having to use two different e-mail programs. It just seems odd that it works so easily and well on the iPhone but not on a Mac.

Same problem here. I've used Mail with Exchange for quite sometime but recently I can't send using the SMTP server. I can receive and even send to other email addresses on my Exchange network. But not to the outside world. Tried every configuration and authentication possible. Now I read (here in the discussions) that Mail 3.x (I'm using 3.6) is very unreliable with Exchange. I think we are desperately awaiting Snow Leopard. I will certainly not install Entourage on my Mac again that's for sure. I'm resorting to web access for my Exchange folders now.
Anyone have any solution to this?

Send mail with no sender address using Javamail

I'm trying to send emails using javamail, it works fine but I would like to send emails with no sender address. When I don't set :
message.setFrom(new InternetAddress("[email protected]"));
or do just
message.setFrom()
I get my_user_name@my_machine_name as the sender address when i recieve the email.
I understand the security problems about sending emails without sender but i need to automate the sending of confirmation messages that recievers can't answer to.
Quentin.

I get a lot of e-mail newsletters that say at the bottom "Please do not reply to this, nobody will read your reply". What's wrong with that? Set up an address and automatically purge any messages sent to it on a regular basis.
Or if you want a different way to annoy people, use an address that doesn't exist on your server. Then people get a bounce message when they reply to it.
You might also want to evaluate commonly-used spam filters and see if they filter out messages that don't have from-addresses. No point sending people messages if they get filtered out.

Setting up Mail with College E-mail

I've been trying to set up my college mail with the mac mail program. I type in the imap account as mail.uncw.edu, the smtp as smtp.uncw.edu, and it never is able to recognize the server. Could the problem be coming from the fact that my school uses outlook mail if you were to just go to the mail.uncw.edu web site and attempt to check it?

As a UNCW alumnus, I really wanted to help you out. The only thing I could find out (through a google search) on how to set up UNCW email on your Mac was a mention on this page:
http://www.uncw.edu/itsd/macsupport.htm
I don't know how current the page is, but they state that:
+Entourage 2004 is the first native OS X Email client that allows Macintosh users to connect to the UNCW Exchange server, on or off campus.+
Hope this helps.

Setting up Mail with novell groupwise

I'm trying to set up an account in Mail and I'm getting confused on how to do it. There's just so much stuff out there and they're telling me differnt things. My school used Novell Groupwise. Does anybody know how to set it up?!

I have set up Growl with Leopard, have opened the mail feature in the Extras folder, have tweaked the mail preferences, and yet it still doesn't work. Any ideas?

Setting up Mail with Optimum Online

I'm trying to set up Mail to work with the internet service provider Optimum Online on a brand new MacBook running OS X 10.5. This is a "first time" set up for Mail. I think I entered all the information correctly but I cannot connect to the Optimum Online Mail server. I can't complete the setup. I'm sure I have the correct user id and password to access the mail server. Mail just won't complete the automatic set up of the account. Does anyone have any ideas I can try to fix this? I can't use Mail at all, since I can't get past the automatic set up screens at all...
Thanks!

Thanks again for the advice. I was able to finally connect to receive email, so I know I'm connected to the incoming mail server. I still can't send email though. I'm not able to connect to the outgoing server. It is a POP3 account. I've entered what I think are the correct server names, but I can't connect to the outgoing mail server. I did delete the com.apple.mail.plist file and restarted Mail, but the start up screen still had some information already added in the fields. After my latest attempt to set up the account, after waiting for quite some time, I did an message saying "unable to connect to smtp server. Make sure username and password are correct, etc. I clicked continue and was able to get into Mail. For some reason, this particular ISP uses the same server name for both incoming and out going email. I haven't run across this before. Also, in Mail Preferences, under Accounts, the Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): field has the correct server name followed by (Offline). I can't seem to take this server online. Going to the advanced tab shows the "Use default Ports" (25, 465,587) radio button selected. Authentication: Password, etc.. I don't know if this helps you or not. Thanks again for the advice... Ed

Using Mail with my school's email address.

I don't know if anybody can help besides my school's IT guy, but my school email is @georgiasouthern.edu. This is used as a Gmail App, so basically my school email is running off Gmail servers. I have tried setting up the POP and IMAP to allow it to work in the Mail application, but for some reason when I try to create my account, it can't find the smtp.gmail.com server for the outgoing mail...or the incoming mail for that matter. I have looked at Google Help and followed all the instructions to no avail. Please help me. If this post was too confusing, and you think you can can help me, e-mail me and ill try to explain better.

I followed everything on this website:http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=86394 , which was sent to me from my school's IT specialist.

Can you set Mail with 'outgoing only' addresses?

I run my own mail server that collects all my incoming emails, but have many addresses to send from. On ahem Outlook, I could stop accounts from collecting mail, and set them to send mail only.
Is there a way to set Mail to have 'send-only' email accounts?

It does only sync over wi-fi!

Setting up mail with school account

You need to ask your mail account provider for help. They are the only ones who know what info you need to enter into the boxes in Mail's Accounts area. Nobody here will know!
