Transferring from Yahoo mail to Gmail default service for calendar

Good day,
I am given up on using Yahoo Mail after 13 years.  I get timed out and have problems login in and some of my messages don't get forwarded to my BlackBerry.  So I switched over to using Gmail as my main e-mail provider and it's been working well so far.
I use Outlook calendar on my laptop and sync it with my Torch 9800 using USB connection.  If I remove my Yahoo Mail as a default sevice for Calendar, Contact List and Messaing, and select Gmail as my default service how do I convert all my calendar and contact list to the Gmail profile.  Actually, not sure if my contact list would be affected since I don't see the association of the contact list to my Yahoo Mail currently.   If I delete my Yahoo profile would my events get deleted or would they get transferred to the default calendar profile?  Or do I just sync it again with my Outlook and my events will be transferred to the Gmail profile after selecting Gmail as my default service for Calendar and Contact List.  I hope I am explaining this correctly.  I also have a Facebook calendar profile showing birthday reminders, which I'm trying to remove but that's another problem.
I want to do it right the first time and don't want to accidentally delete my events and contact list.
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Before doing anything make a full backup of the device.
I think you can solve this by making the Gmail the default service. Then in the calendar app go to Options. On the screen type the letters M O V E. That should move all events to the default calendar. It's been a while since I've done this, though.

    Not sure about yahoo, but for gmail, I done the following:
    Set up using Exchange on iPhone, it'll keep prompting for password.  On PC use captcha option, log in to gmail account from PC after completingg captcha option, enter password on iPhone.
    See how that goes for gmail, let us know.
    Hopefully someone will have fix for yahoo.

    This just happened to me. Apparently yahoo mail just implemented something.. Check out this message from yahoo mail.

    I use 10.3.9 and I have no idea why yahoo mail stopped working today. I have firefox installed on my machine. BTW - firefox is able to serf the web without issues on all of my sites. I often wonder why apple wanted to build a browser, why not just use firefox and contribute to it's development for the mac environment?

  • Send email through Yahoo mail or Gmail with Java

    I have a java email program that can take a mail host name , port number and then send an email, but I don't want to use the mail host at work, I wonder if I can send email through my Yahoo Mail or Gmail account with Java, do they have any Java API that my program can log me in and send emails ? Any sample code available ? Thanks.
    Frank

    Thanks for reminding me, I did some search on "Yahoo" and "Gmail". For Yahoo someone posted some code that didn't work, for gmail, there seems to be a solution for sending email from command line. I wonder if I can send full fledged email : with CC, BCC, Attachment, Html email with images inside ...
    I've done it with a local mail host, but how to do it with Yahoo or Gmail ?
    Frank
    Have you read the JavaMail FAQ? Search for "Yahoo" and "Gmail".

  • When I download to print from Yahoo mail, I only get 1/2 a page - I have eliminated the printer as a problem

    When I download from Yahoo mail,  only 1/2 the page shows in preview and only 1/2 is printed.  I have eliminated a printer problem.  Any help appreciated.

    Open System Preferences > Print & Scan > Print
    Click Open Print Queue
    Delete all files in the print queue.
    Quit and relaunch Safari and try printing the email.
    If that didn't help, empty the Safari cache.
    Command + Option + E then relaunch Safari and try again.

    Did you check your gmail account to see if it is working OK?
    Are you sure you didn't make a typo when you entered the gmail address as a change?

  • Push notifications disappear from Yahoo Mail

    I upgraded to IOS 4 a while back (still waiting to do 4.0.1, seems like some have real signal issues). After a while, I stopped getting push notifications from Yahoo mail.
    I confirmed all the settings were correct, everything is set to push. I also have an IMAP account which is not push, but it was living happily along side my yahoo mail account.
    I tried changing all settings to fetch, then back to push, and it still doesn't work. I tried rebooting the phone, that didn't work. A few days ago I deleted the yahoo mail account, and re-added it. Yay, I got push notifications back! But today, they're gone again
    One event that may be to blame is that I plugged it into an older JBL speaker/dock that the iphone says is not compatible (but happily works fine with). Do you think this can cause Yahoo mail push notifications to get screwed up? I hate to have to delete and re-add my yahoo mail account every few days. I'm going to test to see if the dock is the culprit tonight, but I'm just wondering if anyone else has these problems?
    -Steve

    I just got an iphone 3GS three weeks ago, and found out that I could receive my yahoo e-mails in real time thru my device via push option. Per recommendations of other blogs I deleted my account, changed my password and re-added it again in my iphone but no e-mails in real time yet!! I had the soft version 4.0.1, and now have the 4.0.2 version but remains the same, no e-mails reception in real time. Any help will be more than welcome. Cheers!

  • Why can't I automatically forward from Apple Mail to Gmail?

    Why can I no longer automatically forward mail from Mac Mail to Gmail account automatically. This worked fine till a few days ago but no longer. I hadn't changed any settings.  have asked about this in Gmail forum but no useful answers, I have now changed various setting but makes no difference. Most of the Gmail help is oriented to Mail 4.0, I have 3.6, so that doesn't help (can I upgrade, I have OS10.5.8), I uploaded MailUpdate but it would it wouldn't let me install).
    Maybe there is a way via Mail Forward but that seems for forwarding _from_ webmail _to_ Apple Mail.
    All help gratefully received.
    Thank you,

    I suppose Gmail is forwarding to Apple Mail but not v versa, hardly anything at all is landing in Gmail.
    My Apple Mail is a POP account, but IMAP -enabled in Gmail if that makes sense, Gmail help says that's what you should do to forward from POP to Gmail.
    I want to forward them to Gmail so I can read my POP mail on my PC at work, as I said this worked beautiflly since I started in Feb till last week, then stopped for no apparent reason... As alternative I use mail2web which is just about okay but very slow, no outbox, no spam or other filtering, keeps timing out.
    Yes something is doubling up but not sure what...
    In my Apple Mail I have two accounts, both POP, one my regular apple mail account, the other my Gmail account, but settings are different according to Gmail help but not sure if they  are right any more..
    thanks again

  • Calendar sync problem: "the default service for your device's calendar has changed..."

    When I go to sync, this window pops up:  "The default service for your device's 'Calendar' has changed since the last time you synchronized.  Click OK to use your new default service and combine your data, which might duplicate some entries.  Click Cancel to stop...."
    I haven't changed a thing.  What's going on?  I don't want to get duplicate entries.

    Yes, I sync with Outlook.  From what I understand, your default service should be your e-mail address for both mail & calendar.Spell Check

    I'm having trouble with a sync alert.  It's not clear to me if the default sync for calendar is my iphone (3G) or my mac (shows 82 modifications).  I want it to default to the mac but the wording suggests the iphone.  Anybody know the default device and if it can be and if the other can be selected if desired
    Also, I don't see any way to do the sync on an individual entry basis for calendar.  Looks like it will only do all of them at once.  I'd like to go through them one by one to confirm which entry is correct.
    Thanks
    PS This message ("Syncing with [OWNER'S NAME] iphone will change more than xx% of your calendars events or todos on this computer) only started when I recently updated my OS.

    Maybe you should get new friends.
    I'm not sure that recovery mode works when you have to trust the computer, but did you try it?
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple Support
    If that won't work, perhaps you can use Find my iPhone from a computer in your iCloud.com account to erase the device.
    iCloud: Erase your device - Apple Support
    This has nothing to do with the Find my iPhone app being installed on the phone, but you do have to have Find my iPhone activated in the iCloud settings on the phone.

  • How do I set the default time for calendar alerts?

    How do I set the default time for calendar alerts? I always want to have an alert 15 minutes before my appointments. I don't want to have to manually set it each time I make an appointment (I just moved to iphone from a windows mobile where this was basic stuff so I apologise if this is a noob question).

    I have the same issue. I've searched these forums and found lots of people who have asked this same question, but nobody who has received an answer.
    About a year ago, I migrated from a Windows PC and a Blackberry (both of which had very simple default alert options) to a MacBook Pro and an iPhone and have yet to find a solution on this forum or from any of my Apple-savvy friends. Very discouraging.

  • After BT Mail transferred from Yahoo I can't send or receive emails!

    I haven't had my Mac long and just getting used to it having been a Windows user for years I got a request from Bt to transfer from Yahoo to their new Bt Mail email. Since then I haven't been able to send or receive emails. What went wrong?

    Have you updated your email account's settings on your Mac to have the new non-Yahoo settings : new BT email ?

  • How can I set Yahoo mail as my default mail application on Mac Mail?

    I am trying to make Yahoo Mail (free version, not Yahoo mail Plus!) my default mail application. This would allow me to cick on any link sending e-mails and it will launch the yahoo mail application to send mail from there, obviously. For this to happen I need to open Mac "Mail > Preferences >" and choose "Default email reader" under the "General". I then choose the email application of my choice (Yahoo in my case). "GMail Notifier" for Google fans.
    I am not able to find a Yahoo application mail in my application folder or on the Internet, and frankly speaking, Yahoo mail support absolutely suck, and getting a hold of them is nearly impossible! There is a free applet out there called "Yahoomailer" that might do the job, but either I am installing it wrong since when I download and click on it nothing happens, or it does not work properly on my machine. So, I am turning to the community to get some help with this issue. All I need is to know if there is a Yahoo mail app out there that can be installed on MAC and shows up on my Mail > Preferences > Default email reader.
    Thank you,
    I am using MAC OS X 10.8.2

    My tools menu does not show "options" as a choice - any idea why? Thanks
