Setting up Yahoo Mail on 5800 Music Express. A pro...

Hello all.
I just bought a 5800 Express Music and am very new to the world of mobile phones.
I have had a Yahoo Mail account for the last ten years and would like to be able to access it
throught the phone's email system.
This is what I've done:
In Settings Wizard, click Email Setup.
-Phone says "Allow application to use network to send or receive data?"
-I say "yes".
-Phone says "Testing network", then "Contacting email server".
-Phone gives me a screen with Yahoo, Gmail, Ovi etc.
-I click on Yahoo, then write my Yahoo email address.
-Phone says "Getting email settings", then "Unable to connect with the information provided. Please try again".
What am I doing wrong? Any ideas would be gratefully received.
Thanks,
Mark.

How do I set up yahoo mail on my iPad?

I have an iPad 2 and an iPhone 4S. I set up yahoo mail on both and have never had an issue. I recently got an iPad Mini. I've attempted to set up yahoo mail with the same settings I have on my iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. After several weeks and countless attempts, it still doesn't work. What's the secret?

From your home screen tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, then select Yahoo.

I have Yahoo Mail synced on my new macbook pro. Keeps asking for password

I have Yahoo Mail synced on my new macbook pro. It it consistently asking to re-enter the password. Does anyone else have this problem? I have deleted it and reinstalled it several times. It did not do this on my previous macbook.

Does anyone else have this problem?
There are several similar reports on this site every day.
I've never used Yahoo mail and my knowledge of it is second-hand. This is what I've been able to gather.
If you have a free Yahoo account, POP access to incoming mail from a mail client such as Apple Mail is not supported. A free account is accessible only through IMAP (and then perhaps only on mobile devices — the documentation is unclear) or the web interface.
As for a paid Yahoo account, or an account through an ISP such as AT&T, you must enable POP access through the web interface. I've seen reports that you must periodically (every two weeks?) log in to the "Manage Account" page on the website to confirm your identity.
I've also seen reports that eliminating all UPPER CASE letters from the password, and shortening it to no more than 7 characters, may help. That's barely, if at all, adequate for security, and you must be sure to choose the password randomly. It should not be easy to type or remember.
That said, so many problems with Yahoo mail are reported that I can't recommend using Mail as a client for it. You might get better results with another mail client, such as Thunderbird. If not, just use the webmail interface. That's how it was designed to work. Better yet, don't use Yahoo at all.

it should works, if you use the following parameters:
Smtp server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com:465
User Secure connection: SSL
I'll bet you it will NOT work & even give you 10 to 1 odds that it will fail.
Yahoo won't relay your spam; which is why your messages will be rejected.
What is the difference between your message & a message from a spammer?

Setting up Yahoo Mail Plus account?

I recently purchased my first Mac Book Pro. I use Yahoo Mail Plus as my email account. At the Apple store they were unable to set my email up so that I could access it through the Mac mail app. I have to access it through my Yahoo browser. Yahoo has been no help and so far 3 customer service people at the Apple store have failed. Any suggestions??

after reading how free accounts works fine and plus accounts tends not to, i think its safe to say this is a yahoo problem. the iphone yahoo wizard is probably meant for free accounts, but plus accounts are setup differently.

Problem setting up Yahoo Mail Plus

I am in the process of transitioning from Entourage to Apple Mail. I have successfully imported all of the mail from Entourage and have successfully set up my Gmail account in Mail. I am trying to set up my Yahoo Plus account (POP3) but when I get to the Outbound Mail Server screen, set up gets stuck.
I put in all of the smtp information along with my ID and password and I set the SSL and proper port check boxes that matches the Entourage account information but I just get a spinning gear and a message that Mail is trying to contact to the server but it never does.
I spent about an hour in a chat session with Yahoo tech support last night. They checked all of my settings and checked my account access via telnet and verified that everything is working fine. They have escalated this within their support organization but so far I have not heard anything from them.
The strange thing is that my Blackberry is sending and receiving my Yahoo mail without any problems and it was working fine with Entourage. I turned off the Entourage syncing to make sure the two desktop apps weren't hitting up against each other but that made no difference.
Has anyone else run into this issue and/or any suggestions on where to look next for a solution?
Thanks,
David

Hi. my English is very bad. sorry.
use "Mail 4.0" i configure yahoo account (free) and gmail too. and work perfect. first you need to configure yahoo account for access to pop (this is in you web account in config on yahoo.) and in Mail (app) only you need start and introduce your account ej.:
[email protected] and password.
the programs send message error. click continue and put in smtp.: "smtp.mial.yahoo.com"
and pop: "pop.mail.yahoo.com"
for gmail is: "smtp.gmial.com" and pop: "pop.gmial.com"
if you need more detail send me email.
good lock

Not able to set up yahoo mail account : N8

I bought N8 just few days back.
I can able to set up Gmail account but not able to set up yahoo account.
It shows error:
Unable to connect with information provided. Try again ...
Please help..

I think you require a plus account to download mail to an email client incl a mobile phone, saying that though last year if you're in the UK you could download Yahoo mail without a plus account & I still do even though the Yahoo help pages say I require a paid account.
It may be that your username & password are incorrect or the settings are,
Here's what I have:
pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk, port 995, SSL on.
smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk port 465, SSL on.
Username is the usual - bit before the @.
Passwords might be case sensitive.

Setting up Yahoo Mail using OS X Mail program

I've tried everything and keep getting some sort of error about port 25 in trying to retrieve my yahoo mail on the Mail program installed on OSX. I've entered all of the following info:
Email address
User name
Password: Yahoo Password specified when I set up the account
Account type: POP
Incoming mail server: mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing mail server: smtp.yahoo.com
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Contact your ISP and ask if they are blocking access to external SMTP servers on port 25; some ISPs do this to reduce the amount of spam people can send from their service.

Setting up yahoo mail

Hi All,
I deleted my yahoo email account on my iphone 5 as Yahoo mail has been down all week.
Tried to set it back up again but it gives me the message "the user name or password for apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com is incorrect"
This is not so as I've got it working now on my imac.
Any help appreciated

I doubt this is anything other than Yahoo!'s problem. People have been having sporatic results connecting from various locations and devices when it seems to work from others.
Unfortunately, I think you are just going to have to wait out the storm.

Setting Up Yahoo Mail on Mac email

Hi..i just got a mac and i am wondering how i set up my mail to recieve my mail from my yahoo account. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

No, the only mail accounts available from Apple are the the .Mac accounts and that's about $100 a year, but includes everything available on .Mac.
You can set up the account that your ISP usually provides with your internet account with Mail.app. From inside Mail.app you can access the Mail Help in the Help Menu that can guide you through setting up email accounts to access with Mail.app

How do i set up yahoo mail beta account on mail app?

Hi everyone!
I would like to set up my yahoo mail beta account in the Mail application. How do I do it correctly?
I've already try it once, but I was only able to receive e-mails not send them. Does someone already has this problem?
Can someone help me please?! I really don't want to use my browser to check my e-mails.
Thanks!

If you're using Yahoo Plus, you have access to Yahoo's POP3 server, so can use the normal Yahoo detected settings. Otherwise, there appears to be IMAP access:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=325139
The important thing is imap-ssl.mail.yahoo.com on port 993.
...I've already try it once, but I was only able to receive e-mails not send them...
And SMTP is also SSL for Yahoo, so set the appropriate checkboxes.
I have configured OSX mail and Outlook and can send mail.
My experience is that IMAP-SSL access seems to be a bit slow. But I also have a a large number of folders in my inbox so perhaps if your inbox is kept "clean" and with few messages, perhaps your experience will be better.
