Setting up yahoo mail through apple mail

I am trying to get my yahoo mail account to run through my apple mail program, but to no avail. Any ideas on how to make it happen? Thanks

  • Can no longer send mail through Apple Mail

    Starting yesterday morning, I can no longer send mail via Apple Mail. I can receive it just fine, but when I try to send, it struggles for a minute, then leaves the message in my Outbox. When I open Mail's "Connection Doctor," it says "Could not connect to this SMTP server"; it says this for all three SMTP servers I routinely use, including smtp.mac.com.
    No other computer in my house has this problem. In fact, if I switch to a different account on my Mac and use Apple Mail with these same smtp servers, it works fine.
    Needless to say, this is completely mystifying to me. Does anyone have any idea what's happening, or how to correct the problem?
    Thanks.

    Do my eyes deceive me? Am I dreaming? Could it really be true? Looks like Apple (finally) fixed this issue! Simply update your Mac to 10.5.5. It might reboot several times. That is normal. When it finally reaches the desktop open your Mail app and try sending. It should now work for you. I couldn't be any happier, after over a year without Mail it's finally working again! This is the update that everyone's been waiting for

  • After Leopard upgrade can't send mail in Apple Mail with dot mac account.

    Just upgraded to Leopard and now I can't send mail through Apple Mail. Checked smtp and that's OK. How do I check what ports are open? That may be the problem. I looked at the Apple trouble shooting page and did everything there except the port check.
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Lou

    Fixed my own problem. I put in the SMTP address but didn't save. Once I saved it worked.

  • Emails always are suck in outbox when sent through Apple mail

    Emails always are suck in outbox when sent through Apple mail. How should I deal with it ? Many thanks!

    As mentioned, Outlook is not email standards compliant. It probably never will be based on Microsoft's history. However, I think there are various issues involved in the problems people have. I often send emails from home to my Outlook account at work. I have never experienced any of the problems that I've seen posted anywhere regarding Mail and Outlook.
    My conclusion is that there are issues with certain Exchange Server configurations and/or issues with your own ISP mail server causing the issues.
    I do have my system set up to Always send windows friendly attachments (from what I've read, this really is 'send Outlook friendly attachments'), and always put attachments at the end. Prior to the 'always put attachments at the end,' I wasn't having any issues, either. However, I read that that setting helped with other email clients, so I use it.
    The obvious question is, "well, how is your exchange server configured." I would love to provide the answer to that question; however, I work for a DoD organization, so actually tracking down the person that knows the answer to that question will take somewhere between five years and never. With my 20+ years experience with the DoD, I'm leaning towards the never end of the spectrum. The other half of the equation is, "I'm using cox as my ISP."

  • I can't connect to my gmail or yahoo account through the mail app

    I was able to connect just fine until reset my iphone an hour ago, and was asked to update carrier settings, which I did. Now I can't connect to my gmail or yahoo account through the mail app. Through settings, I deleted my accounts, and set them back up, but still nothing. I can connect by going through safari, but it takes longer, and it's not as user friendly...besides that's waht the mail app is there foer, right? Please help! Thanks

    ...never mind...the problem somehow fixed itself...

    Did you try deleting the mail account, then adding it back?   I've read a lot of times that is what needs to happen in order for it to work properly.

  • I need to get a copy of my childs incoming and sent yahoo mail in Apple mail without it being able delete on either end to affect both?

    How can I get a copy of my childs incoming and sent yahoo IMAP address e-mails in Apple Mail? It has to be without each being able to affect the other meaning ( if something is deleted in one it doesn't affect the other).
    I did previously add my childs yahoo e-mail account to Apple mail but did not Sync it. But, as soon as I deleted an e-mail in Apple mail it did so in my childs yahoo mail & and vise versa. Is there another way I am missing?
    Thanks in advance for your help it is much needed!

  • Hidden files sent through Apple Mail

    Whenever I send attachments through Apple Mail, I get these 1KB files showing up in the attachment. For example, if I attached and sent a 1MB file called "photo1.jpg" through Apple Mail, my friends receive two files; 1 MB file called photo1.jpg and another one 1KB file by the same name. If I sent two attached files, I get two more 1KB files by the same name. Depending on how large the main file is the other file may vary from 1KB - 8KB.
    I do not know how to avoid sending something I do not see.
    Are these .ds_store files? When I sent this to myself on Gmail through Apple Mail I get the same. So, it is not as if ONLY windows guys see them. I can also see them in my Safari.
    Please help.

    This is likely the results of the AppleDouble MIME encoding mechanisms used within your Apple Mail client; the second hunk is the resource fork from the image file.
    You can ignore it, or you can switch to a sending client that doesn't generate the AppleDouble MIME message (and the resource fork), or you can switch to a receiving client that does.
    Reading fodder (though potentially more detail than you probably want) is available:
    http://home.earthlink.net/~bobbau/email/more-tips/
    http://db.tidbits.com/article/05787
    There are other discussions of the AppleDouble format around.
    The Windows Friendly switch disables this mechanism; the resource fork is not sent within the MIME-encoded message.

  • I'm unable to send and receive email through Apple Mail 4.  I've checked my settings on Preferences, and my password to Gmail is up to date for syncing with IMAP, but it still won't connect.  Suggestions?

    I'm unable to send and receive email through Apple Mail 4.  I've checked my settings on Preferences, and my password to Gmail is up to date for syncing with IMAP, but it still won't connect.  Suggestions?

    I think it's trying to open it in a gMail eMail & is losing your gMail password that it needs log into gMail, but not 100% positive.
    Have you tried Right clicking or Control+click on the eMail link & choose Copy? Works on some, not others.

  • Suddenly cannot receive Yahoo mail in Apple Mail

    As of this past Monday, I can no longer receive any of my Yahoo mail thru the Apple mail client. I keep getting a message that tells me port 995 timed out (or 110, after I changed it/w/SSL on and off).
    I checked with Yahoo and the help was iffy (no big surprise there). We did some telnet tests and Yahoo said it was probably my ISP blocking port 995. I doubted that, but to be thorough, I contacted my ISP and ran some pings and we could get thru to the Yahoo IP address.
    I ran Mail on a separate computer and had the same issues, so it's not specific to one machine.
    I can send/get Yahoo mail via my iPhone (via WiFi) with no problems.
    I can SEND mail thru my Yahoo account via Apple Mail, with no problems.
    I installed Thunderbird and am currently downloading all the messages from my Yahoo account, with no problem. So, Thunderbird seems to be working.
    So, what I'm left with is wondering what suddenly happened to Mail that I can no longer download Yahoo mail. I've changed no settings since Monday. I've updated nothing in over a week.
    Why, suddenly, would Mail no longer download Yahoo?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tips too.

    I'm experiencing the same phenomenon. My yahoo mail is working flawlessly on my iPhone, however the Mail app is not connecting to the POP server. For the past two days I've had the triangle/exclamation icon next to my mailbox. I have an att.net mailbox account and don't have any issues sending and receiving mail. A pop-up asks if I want to take the account online and still to no avail. I've deleted the account and later added it with some success as it begins to fetch my 500+ messages still on the server. Minutes later I get the warning icon and again a pop-up asking to take the account online.
    Is anyone else experiencing this?

    Hello,
    Are they just regular size eMails?
    Do you have more than one eMail account setup?
    Next time it happens, get...
    Find Any File...
    http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
    Hold Option or alt key when selecting Find to Find All.
    Use it to Find All, for Name ends in...

  • Can't send email through Apple mail

    I suddenly am not able to send email through Apple mail on my MacBookPro.  ipad and iphone still working.  I can also send email through att online.  My email is @att.net, and the message says "The server cannot be contacted on port 465".  (That is the proper port)

    Hi,
    Here are some suggestions,
    1. Try downloading another free email client to see if it works from there, just to eliminate other possibilities.
    2. Try removing the account in mail settings, and adding it again with the correct settings.
    Let me know what you find!

  • Mail: com.apple.mail.exchange.serveroverload

    My customer got himself a brand new macbook pro and transfered all the data he had over from a previous version of osx.  I believe he is now 10.8 and was 10.7 but am not sure about that.  Ever since then he has had problems connecting to both imail and icalander.  The icalender must constantly have the ssl setting toggled off as it seems to randomly re-enable itself.  That is not the main issue however, he constantly gets disconnected from his mail account.  During these down times he can access webmail.  When I recreate the profile it fixes the problem for around a week and then the problem returns.  I have tried completely wiping all the accounts (he has several linked) and recreating them, but that has no affect.  I have tried combing through all settings to no avail and have reduced the number of messages in inbox since below capture was taken.  I am constantly seeing errors such as the title for this post.  I will include the general errors below.  Please help as I am out of ideas.
    9/3/13 4:33:48.062 PM Mail[16710]: Mail: com.apple.mail.exchange.serveroverload

    Any attempt to synchronize to the server again will spawn a few more of these errors.
      I'll let you know what tomorrow brings

    The problem is knowing what other damage has been done.  For example, do Pages, Numbers and Keynote work presently.  Is your Mail system working? etc.
    I would put these items in a folder of their own, in the remote possibility they are needed.  Then make a fresh install of iWork from the source disk.  If Mail is not working, it may first be necessary to go further and refresh the OS, by booting into the Recovery partition.

  • Phantom Blank Spam blocking Mail from retrieving new mail in Apple Mail

    Over the past few days my wife and I have both had difficulties downloading pop-3 mail from our accounts (from a UK based ISP, UKonline) onto our separate computers (Powerbook G4 and MacBook). I have no idea yet whether this is affecting other ISPs or other Mac or PC platforms or mail clients, but it is definitely affecting both of our Mail apps running under 10.4.7.
    The problem seems to revolve around blank email messages being received into our respective accounts by at our ISPs mail server.
    These blank messages, presumably some form of spam have no sender, no recipient, no date, no source code, no body text and no subject.
    These 'phantom' blank emails appear to be the root of the problem as once they are manually removed from our server-side inbox (either through Apple Mail's 'Get Info' / 'Remove from Server' function, or via our ISPs webmail facility), the email starts picking up mail automatically again–immediately, without any other intervention other than clicking 'Get Mail'. Until they are removed, Apple Mail will NOT collect any more mail, automatically or manually through 'Get Mail'.
    I have contacted my ISP and to date had no firm response from them. One of their operatives suggest I contact Apple as his Windows PC email still works and retrieves mail when these blank phantom messages reach his server-side inbox waiting to be collected.
    The fact that these messages have no date means that under Mail's 'Get Info' / 'Remove from Server' facility, they always appear at the top with the CURRENT date and time when sorted by date. In this way, they are easy to spot. Also, if sorted by size, they also appear at the top because they are 0k in size. They appear to act as a blockage to receiving new mail until they are cleared.
    I'd be grateful to hear if anyone else is having this problem or has found a solution to it, or indeed whether this is an ISP problem.
    With thanks

    Hello Jamie.
    These 'phantom' blank emails appear to be the root of the problem
    as once they are manually removed from our server-side inbox
    (either through Apple Mail's 'Get Info' / 'Remove from Server' function,
    or via our ISPs webmail facility), the email starts picking up mail
    automatically again–immediately, without any other intervention
    other than clicking 'Get Mail'. Until they are removed, Apple Mail
    will NOT collect any more mail, automatically or manually through
    'Get Mail'.
    What is your setting for removing messages from the server when downloaded by the Mail.app?
    If set to right away, does this have any effect?
    One of their operatives suggest I contact Apple as his Windows
    PC email still works and retrieves mail when these blank
    phantom messages reach his server-side inbox waiting to be collected.
    Of course - especially if this operative is using Microsoft's Outlook or OE which usually don't have problems downloading anything including viruses, adware and spyware.
    I'm not sure why these "Ghost" spam messages cause this problem with the Mail.app but these are obviously sent by a spammer to cause problems.
    How about your ISP doing something about blocking all messages at the incoming mail server that are completely blank such as these so they don't arrive in any of their customer's Inbox mailbox at the server since these messages are intended to cause problems and are completely blank anyway? No different from any other type of spam or as messages are scanned for viruses at the server. Although Apple needs to look into this, your ISP is not completely off the hook or has no responsibility IMO.
