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.

Can't Send Using Yahoo Mail Plus Account

I'm a Yahoo Mail Plus subscriber and am having problems sending mail with the Apple iPhone. I only have this problem with my Yahoo Mail Plus account. A second (free) Yahoo account works fine, as does a GMail account.
Other Yahoo Mail Plus users are reporting the same issue:

My problem is that when I send an e-mail on my Yahoo Mail Plus account, it is not received by the recipient, nor does a copy appear in my sent mail folder on the Yahoo server. I don't receive any error message -- the mail just never is sent.
I spoke with an Apple store genius and he suggested deleting the Yahoo Mail Plus account settings on my iPhone and then setting it up again. I did this and it worked for the first 2-3 messages, but did not work again after that (once I had already ended my Genius Bar appointment). I tried deleting my Yahoo Mail Plus account settings a second time later and got the same result -- I was able to send 1-2 messages but none after that.
My other free Yahoo Mail account is working fine on the iPhone (send/receive) as is a GMail account. And all accounts work properly when accessed directly via a web browser.
Apple has a support doc about sending e-mail on the iPhone, but this relates to ISP port blocking and doesn't seem to apply to my situation as it happens in various locations with different WiFi providers, as well as when on AT&T's Edge network.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305634
I even had the problem in the Apple store using their WiFi network, which presumably doesn't have port issues.
Anyone else having the same problem? Any suggestions?
Thanks.

How can I sync iPhone "Notes" with Notes Folder in Yahoo Mail Plus Account?

I am trying to sync my iPhone 3gs "Notes" (ios 5.0.1) with my Yahoo Mail Plus Account. In "Settings", "Mail, Contacts, Calendars", "Yahoo Mail" Account , the "Notes" button is turned ON. When I open my Yahoo Mail Account on my PC, a "Notes" Folder has been created, but it is EMPTY.
How can I get the data in my iPhone Notes application to show up in my Yahoo Mail Plus "Notes" Folder?

There is now a separate Notes application. It is not part of Mail.

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.

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

Unable to add a yahoo mail plus account to mac mail

I had a yahoo account setup which worked for the last year. It stopped working last night. I am unable to add it again. it is a plus yahoo mail account and the account is active and current.

If you have two-step verification turned on, turn it off. I think the Yahoo mail app works splendidly, personally...

E63 Yahoo email set up without Yahoo mail plus

Is there a way to set up Yahoo mail to my E63 device without a Yahoo mail plus account?
I have a standard Yahoo mail account. When I go to mail options, and trying to set up POP & Forwarding, I will not be able to do anything without upgrade to mail plus. Is there a way to get around this? I do not want to use Yahoo mobile either. Thanks for your help.

@ Weitl
I use emoze and have tried seven. Seven works great but drains battery and uses lots of memory. Emoze mail will work with yahoo regular mail. http://www.emoze.com/. http://www.seven.com/. Both work great. Seven integrates a little better into native messaging application with contacts but I prefer emoze.

Have Yahoo Mail Plus, which does not allow ads. When on my work computer and log into my Yahoo account, ads do appear?? This does not happen on Explorer. Help

Have a Yahoo Mail Plus account, which does not allow for ads. It works fine on Explorer, but when used on Firefox the same ads always appear both at the top and left margins "Dr. Oz New Weight Loss Secret". Yahoo says it is a Firefox issue. Please help.

another thing you can try is to [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]].
in case there are still adverts shown in places where they aren't supposed to be afterwards, it sounds like an issue with malware on the system. please run a full scan of your pc with the security software already in place and different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx microsoft safety scanner] or [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan].

Palm Centro Issue With Yahoo Mail Plus POP via Versamail

I have a Palm Centro and have been using Versamail for 3 1/2 years with my Yahoo Mail Plus account via POP. On September 12th I stopped having the ability to send or receive POP email on my Yahoo Mail Plus account. I have spoken with Sprint & Yahoo. I have done all the steps they have asked and I have even gone as far as replacing my phone with another Palm Centro and still have the same issue. I know the config is correct as it was working for so long. I can use my Gmail POP in Versamail fine. I receive the error when setting up the Yahoo Mail Plus account in Versamail when I click on "Test Settings" I receive the following... "Error connecting to server. Please check your network or server settings and re-sync." Does anyone have any ideas about this? Thanks.
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

actually some e-mail providers like yahoo free account, msn mail and free hot mail does not work with the mail application, as you told me that it needs to enable the pop server for such mail
and about the iphone are you sure that ur using the mail application in iphone, you must be using safari to browse through ur mails
yahoo mail plus is compatible with the mail application but it comes for a price so here you could either use safari to go through your mail or go in for some other free account like AOL which will work with the mail application

Problems with Yahoo Mail Plus

I have a Yahoo Mail Plus account and I can get my mail through Outlook 2007 without any problem, but I cannot receive (muchless send) any e-mail on my iPod Touch.
My incoming mail server is plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com and my outgoing mail server is plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com. I've deleted and recreated my account on my Touch, and I've deleted my account and had it recreated when I've synced with iTunes. Neither of these methods have worked. My password is correct and I know I've got a WiFi connection because I can go anywhere I like on the internet using Safari.
Can anybody help me? Please???

Try this:
1.) Go to settings (or if you don't have an account setup, just go to the mail app)
2.) Don't touch the yahoo icon. Hit "other"
3.) Select POP from the top 3 buttons
4.) enter your name, email address ([email protected]) and your password
5.) Enter the host name for the incoming mail server (for yahoo mail, it should be "pop.mail.yahoo.com ". Enter your user name (without the @yahoo.com) and then enter your password you use.
6.) Enter the host name for the outgoing mail server. It should be "smtp.mail.yahoo.com "
This was posted by a friend that said he got it working this way - I have not tested as I have no Yahoo! account.
Here is another set of instructions I found online - again, NOT tested by me.
1) Open yahoo mail
2) Click "options" tab in upper right corner
3) In center column click "pop access and fowarding"
4) Make sure there is a blue dot where it says Web and POP access, if not click there so that it does. You may also decide your spam choices here.
5) Click "save" in upper left corner underneath where it says mail
Now go back to your touch
1) open settings on the touch
2) tap mail
3) tap add account
4) tap other
5) tap POP
6) put your name in
7) add your yahoo email address
8) it will show your yahoo account again as the description
9) under incoming server mail host name, type in pop.mail.yahoo.com
10) type in your user name
11) type in your password
12) under outgoing mail server host name, type in smtp.mail.yahoo.com:465
13) type in your user name
14) type in your password
15) tap advanced
16) under advanced make sure that SSL is on, authentication is set to password
and that the server port is 995 for incoming and 465 for outgoing

Yahoo Mail Plus - Push experiences?

Has anybody here had contact with Apple/Yahoo regarding the ability to mave a Mail Plus account and push? I was told by Yahoo customer service that I could have a Plus account and Push email, but this is in conflict with others' observations. Somebody from Apple is also working on this, but I haven't heard anything back in a couple days. (That's pretty normal for Yahoo, but Apple is usually very good about getting things resolved or at least keeping me updated.)
I have a Mail Plus account that does push, albeit very infrequently, and never reliably. I'm generally required to manually refresh since there is no option to periodically poll. I have full access to all of my folders, etc... and everything works as it should except for the lack of push.

I figured out a way to get Yahoo mail to push to the iPhone consistently. It appears that Yahoo Mail Beta is causing the problem. I was only getting 10% of the emails pushed to me, but when I switched my mail back to Yahoo Mail classic (you can do this by clicking on a link at the top of your email screen when logged into directly to the webmail application), I have now gotten 100% of my mail pushed for two days solid. You just need to login and change to Yahoo Mail classic, and then delete your Yahoo account on your iPhone, recreate it, and reboot the iPhone.
