Setting up Yahoo account on MAIL

So I started up Mail for the first time and prompted me for my email and my password. So I enter the required information and this seems to always pop up.
"Trying to log into mail server "pop.mail.yahoo.com" failed. THis server may require an additional fee for Yahoo POP access."
Any ideas?

My understanding is that the free Yahoo service is only browser based.
I find this at their site:
Mail Plus
Get personalized spam filtering with SpamGuard Plus, 20MB message size, no graphical ads, POP access and forwarding, and more great features for just $19.99/year - that's less than $2/month.
Look like you need to sign up for this service to get POP access.

  • HT2954 unable to set up yahoo account in Mail

    Why did my Mail (IMAP) suddenly quit when I upgraded my OSX recently? Support with my server, is clueless and says that Mac is not compatible with Yahoo, that I must use Yahoo. I do not like Yahoo! I want my Mail! Now, Yahoo is totally messing up...have two separate email addys, and one is still receiving mail, but will not load any of my sent, drafts, or spam folders. Had to stop using that one, and am now using my ONLY email address left out of three! I want my Mail back!! Can anyone help??

    Hello, any messages or errors?
    Is this how you did it?

  • 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 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,

  • Setting the standard account in Mail

    I would like to set my standard account in Mail.
    - I have two IMAP accounts.
    - When I click Inbox, and thus view the joint inbox of the two, and click new mail, it automatically chooses an account to send from.
    - In the same way, it chooses an account to send from whenever i'm not in the account specific inbox.
    It does not choose the account I want -- and I cannot find out where to change it?
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Mail -> Preferences -> Composing
    Select the account in the dropdown labeled "Send new mail from:"
    It should currently say "Account of last viewed mailbox"

  • I'm unable to set up ATT account in mail

    I'm unable to set up ATT account in mail

    Is this happening when you try to receive mail, or send mail? When you create the account, does it verify? You should see a message that it is verifying, and if it does.

  • Setting up an account on Mail

    I've bought a domain name and tried to set up an account on Mail. Mail won't recognise it and keeps asking for my password - which I've given - and keeps rejecting it. The domain name sellers say it's probably a Mail specific problem and suggested that I 'contact Mac'.
    Any suggestions - or things I should be looking for - gratefully received.
    Chris

    I've checked the correct mail server settings and I've just sent them an e-mail to check the authentication method, but surely it can't be that if I can't even get on to the system?
    As I say, when setting up the account, Mail goes through its checking procedure and my settings get past that.
    I'm going away for a couple of days, so please don't feel offended if I don't reply quickly to any more suggestions - but I really appreciate your help!

  • Can't set up Yahoo account on Mac Mail

    Here's hoping someone can help!!
    I'm trying to set up my Yahoo account on Mac Mail and my week old Mac (running OS X 10.10/Yosemite) is simply refusing to let me!
    I've tried adding the account through Add Account in the Mail app, and by adding it through System Preferences: it either simply keeps returning to the initial set up screen (Mail) or it says 'Cannot connect to the server 'Unknown' (System Preferences).
    I have had a look through the all the help pages, but I can't find anything which might help me out - can anyone make a suggestion?!
    I have set up my business email (IMAP) and that is working fine.  I have also got my Yahoo account on my MacBook and it works fine so I'm fairly confident it's nothing to do with my Yahoo account...
    What am I doing wrong?!
    Thanks in advance...

    Typically, right after I posted this, I managed to do it!!
    For the benefit of anyone else: rather than choosing Yahoo from the menu, I clicked 'Add Another Account' (thinking I could manually add the IMAP settings|) and it worked...didn't even need to input them myself...

  • 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

  • Set up  Hotmail account in Mail

    I don't know how to set up my hotmail account in Mail. I need to know what is the name of the incoming/outgoing server and as well what type of server it is. I have contact hotmail staff but they told me that this feature is not possible so far in Mac, but I am surprise about this answer. Has somebody tried so far of mac user that have hotmail accounts?
    Thanks for the help!

    I have just had this problem. I am at a loss while Apple will not give us a Mail application that supports http mail out of the box. Surely they realise that most people have a Hotmail or a similar free account... Makes me so angry
    Anyway I am using the Daniel Parnell plug in:
    http://www.versiontracker.com/developer/10364/Daniel+Parnell
    It used to work faultlessly (and still does) but to get it working on an Intel machine you need to set Mail to open using Rosetta. You can do this using Finder, then Get Info, then check the Open in Rosetta box.

  • Set Up Cox account in Mail??

    how do i set up a cox account in mail? I entered my email address and password, but what do i enter for the description and incoming mail server? cox is my provider.. so it would be (for example) [email protected]

    If you go the the Cox Website, under support, there is a pretty good help site that has pictures. However, they are all for older versions of Mail. Regardless, it is mostly useful. I'd post a link, but they don't seem to have direct links to the pages you want. It's a mess of javascript. [Try starting here|http://support.cox.com//sdcxuser/asp/cox_Indetails.asp?parFolder=93a87dfa- 5346-48e4-b66b-2a37dfe0b77b] You'll get a menu bar with a blank page. From there select Learning Center, Email; wait for new page to load, then select Mail for Macintosh; new page; Finally, select How to: Add an Email Account in Mail Using Mac 10.5
    Your incoming (pop) server is pop.east.cox.net and the outgoing (smtp) server is smtp.east.cox.net.
    You can put anything you want in the description.

  • Setting up hotmail accounts in Mail

    Hi, how do I go about routing my hotmail accounts to mail? It seems like a logical step to make. I've been through the account setup but Mail is not seeing the server.
    I'm guessing its a pretty common request but I couldn't find any specific information on it, and I don't have time to trawl the forums all afternoon, So I thought I'd ask in a new thread.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks....

    Hotmail don't provide POP/IMAP access so you can't configure a standard email application (such as Mail) to use it without extra software.
    izymail and httpmail plugin (have a google for them) claim to be able to offer services such that you can use hotmail with a standard email program.

  • 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.
