Unable to connect on email yahoo Imap?

All passwords are correct, and I have been into Apple today, and whilst it seemed to pick up emails in the shop. Once home it hasn't.
We deleted the btinternet.com email in Apple serveral times, and Added account, eventully it worked...strange, but it did work.
But once at home it didn't!
I have Ipad and iphone and can pick up emails on these, but these are both POP accounts.
Everytime I add my email account, it becomes Yahoo Imap....and think this is what is causing the problem.
I can't even set up the account to a POP, because everytime I start the "add account "it automically becomes an Imap account on my Macbook Pro.
(all software is upto date)
Please can someone give me some advice and help.
Would adding apple.imap.yahoo.com help on the outgoing and incoming server?
thanks in anticaption, that someone can help.

Re: Yahoo IMAP server - Rejected Password
Apr 16, 2013 1:49 AM (in response to Renesisdriver)
For BT users I think I have a workaround (that may work for all clients). Not my ideas but a combination of suggestions given by other users.
A combination of the following seems to have worked for me.
Go to "Spotlight" on your Mac, top right corner. Type "keychain access". When the pop up screen appears, make sure in the left column you have both the following tabs selected. "Login" & "passwords". From there look through the list in the columns you have and delete EVERY mention of "yahoo" i.e. "smpt.mail.yahoo.com". Basically, if you see a line with Yahoo in it, then get rid of it.
Go to your Yahoo email account on your browser, before you login deselect the tick boxthat asks you if you want to stay signed in. After logging in, log out.
Go to "Mail" on your Mac and open up the prefernce pane. Go to accounts and channge the servers for your BT Yahoo email accounts to the following.
Use:
Incoming Server - apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing Server - apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
4. Restart "Mail". On some of my yahoo email accounts this worked instantaneously for me. On others it took around 5 minutes for the account to start working again. 12 hours in and the problem seems to be gone.
Good Luck to all.
this worked for me, thank-you

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Acrobat unable to connect to email program

I just installed Acrobat 9.0 on Windows 8.1. I believe the connection worked at the beginning, but now Acrobat is "unable to connect to my email program." I am using Windows Live Mail and set it as the default program for my computer. Still no resolution. Any other ideas?

Acrobat 9 is not compatible with Windows 8. You need to upgrade to the
latest version (XI), and the update to the latest version available
(11.0.10) for maximum compatibility.

Unable to set up email POP3/IMAP on Nokia C3-00

I am trying to set up email POP3/IMAP data on my NOKIA C3-00 (as my email provider is different from Gamil, Hot mail, yahoo, etc...) but it seems impossible to access option when using Menu > Email > Others.
I'm using the latest sw version 4.6
many thanks
oleb

Since a few days I have got the same problem - after having worked with IMAP on the phone since Feb 2011 without any problems. I urgently need an IMAP-Account on my C3-00 in my business - and now I am cut off.
I am very embarrassed and I hope NOKIA will find a solution soon! In the meantime I changed to a mobile smartphone manufactured by Hewlett Packard ... but I hope for a return to C3-00!

Unable to connect to email settings

Where do I go from here - I cannot connect to email settings. I am receiving and sending email with no problem at all. It also will not connect to internet, so is probably related. Is this Sprint/Blackberry or ???

I solved this myself after stumbling on something in Blackberry Desktop.
The problem was when I clicked on email setup the Blackberry just hung or the timer displayed briefly and nothing happened.
I went into the device and removed the LATEST VERSION of the Email Setup Application. This left 1 version which I could not remove.
However this did not resolve the issue.
I started up Blackberry Desktop and looked at the applications that were installed (selected from the left panel). This showed me that the Email Setup program had an update outstanding.
I clicked on ACTION in the bottom right of the Blackberry Desktop on the Applications page and after the update was applied Voila !!! I can go into EMail Setup from the device and all is ok.
Hope that helps someone.

Unable to connect to email server

My BlackBerry has stopped receiving my emails. Following advice elsewhere on this site, I have tried removing and reinstalling the battery and reregistering, I have also deleted the email service book, but am unable to reinstall it because, when I go to Email Settings, all I get is a message saying "Your device had a problem connecting to the server". All other functions seem to be working normally, including internet access.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

reply from TM:
I am sorry to hear hear that the issue with your Blackberry still isn’t resolved, however we was notified yesterday that the Blackberry Services were down, but they have since been resolved last night.
I appreciate you've already performed a reboot but can you please reboot your device again, removing the SIM card and battery. Thsi will instruct your phone to refresh any charges that have been made on the device.
If you still cant receive emails after performing the reboot, then I would recommend you to to contact Blackberry on: 01753558410 or you can view additional information on the following link I have provided- http://uk.blackberry.com/customer-service/contact-us.html#

Unable to connect to email (MS Outlook)

I have AA 9E for two years and Attaching to Email worked without issue with MS Outlook 2007 to send docs. Now it stopped working. I still use the same Outlook 2007 as my default,but it was recently configured to a new server that goes through gmail. Outlook works as it should for all other email and it is my default email program. Is that why it has stopped all of a sudden with AA9? When I select send from all other applications, Outlook opens and sends as the default, the way it always has

Hi,
Thanks for the kind reply, as you said the defaults has not been taking change. So could you please tell me what will be possible solution for this issue.
Thanks and Regards,
Sunil

Mail: unable to connect to my SMPT server? Also new Mail Account defaults to iMap and won't let me change to Pop?

Dear All,
I've been with the same UK internet and email provider for years and they've given me solid and reliable service. I've worked my way through the Apple Knowledgebase checklist and tests and proved that my isp/esp is working normally so the problem has to be with Mail.
I fiddled about trying to create a Mail Account on my late 2011 but-new-to-me MacBook Pro a couple of days ago and, it might be completely unrelated and simply a coincidence, but since then none of my devices, Iphone 4S, Powerbook G4, iPhone 3G, the MBPro can send email using Mail.
Whenever I try I get prompted for my password but when I enter it says it's wrong but it definitely isn't because I even changed it this morning through my isp/esp and it worked and I then changed it back again to my correct password and it works also to get into webmail that is, not via Mail.
When I run Mail\Window\Connection Doctor and check the status it shows Mail is unable to connect to server but that it can connect to the internet. I get the following message: Trying to log in to SMPT account failed. Try to verify that username and password are correct.
Now, whenever I try to create a new email account on MacBook Pro Mail keeps defaulting to iMap and wont let me change it to Pop which is what I need.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Dear All,
I'll finish off this thread in case it's of use to anyone else in the future.
I couldn't get the email pop account to recognise my sign-in even though I've been using it continually and without problem for the last several years. It's always been BT and Yahoo so it's more likely to be the fiddle about I did on my temporary, pre migration user account that caused the hiccup.
In th end I had to create another pop account which I was able to once I'd migrated my settings from my PB G4 to the MB Pro. Unfortunately this didn't merge the numerous email folders that I'd created previously in Mail but I still have them on the PB and I believe they can be transferred manually which is what I will do.
Thanks for everyone that took the time to help.

Galaxy S5 Won't Connect to Email Server for POP3 or IMAP

I use POP3 from a rackspace webmail account. I use it on my PC and a few mobile devices.
Got a new S5 and all seems good except setting up my rackspace email.
I know all the setting are good, I can verify them with rackspace and on my other devices.
I have confirmed I have a good internet connection, both via wifi and the Vz network.
I tried setting up as IMAP instead, and the S5 also does not authenticate with the email server.
Rackspace can't help me, their settings are simple and work fine on other devices.
I've tried using my wifi and with wifi turned off.
Other mail (yahoo and gmail) both work fine.
Any good ideas?

After setting up Incoming Server it returns an error ”Unable to connect to server –ERR Authentication failed)”
I never get beyond this.

DirectNIC's customers outside of the U.S. are unable to connect to their email accounts using their blackberries

I work for directNIC.com and our customers who are located in foreign countries are unable to send/receive email on their blackberry devices. The problem started at the beginning of this month and we can not figure out what the problem is. Our U.S. blackberry customers are not having any problems. Our non-U.S. customers have reported errors such as needing to revalidate the account and when they tried to they received an invalid domain or invalid username/password message. Some customers said the email just quit working and they received an unable to connect error message. I've had one customer provide me with a link to their wireless provider's blackberry email account setup and I am unable to setup their email account there or any email account that uses any of our servers. All of our customer's email accounts work in their email clients on their computers, their other phones, and through their webmail it is only their blackberries. We've white listed all of blackberry's IP addresses and we've checked the server logs to see if there were any connection attempts when I tried to setup the email accounts through the customer's online blackberry interface and there wasn't even an attempt to connect to the server. The error message that I receive is as follows:
Email address domain not found:
The email address domain 'insert domain name here' cannot be found. Please verify this
information is correct. If the error persists contact 'insert domain name here' (your
email provider)
The problem isn't with just one wireless provider it's with multiple providers in multiple countries but the U.S. customers aren't reporting any problems. I am able to setup my personal email account through his blackberry site, an email account from my work through his blackberry site, my yahoo.com email address, and my hotmail.com email address. The only email accounts that do not work are the email accounts that are on any of our servers.   Some of these servers have different server configuration but all of them have all of blackberry's IP addresses whitelisted. Our premium hostng email servers have the same software installed on them as my work email server does and my work email account works fine when I try to set it up through blackberry but none of the premium hosting email accounts that I tried to setup through this customers interface will work. The problem is only with blackberry devices and is only with customers outside of the U.S. If anyone has any thoughts or ideas please let us know.
Thanks,
Priscilla

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Sorry for the delay replying...while your post is a bit old now, it still deserves a response.
First -- these forums are not a formal channel for support from RIM. Rather, they are user-to-user support forums where users help other users. As such, it is unlikely that RIM will see and respond to your inquiry.
What I suggest is that you have your affected users exercise their formal support channel -- which is available via their carrier. The carriers have the ability to escalate cases into RIM for resolution.
Best!

I can't receive my incoming mail. ESP is yahoo. Error msg says unable to connect with POP server. Any solution?

I can't receive my incoming mail in Mac Mail. ESP is yahoo. Error msg says unable to connect with POP server. Any solution? I am able to get my incoming messages via yahoo website but not through the Mail app.

Try this, if it is not the correct department, ask them for the number or to be transfered..
Call 1-800-318-0612 for Login Help
Also on most autmated systems, if you hit 00000, or ##### you can sometimes get thru to a person.
Is Yahoo your Internet provider? Do you have a local provider? ei:AT&T, SBC, cable co, check who you make your check or epatment to...etc, If so I would start there, but if no joy go to the "Mothership"
I may be wrong about this, (it's been a long time now) I may have deleted my mail account from Mail (after writing down all the info from all General/accounts, and the rest of the tabs, and then added a new account using my existing email address, and it may have "walked me thru the rest of the proceedure".
But like I said it was a long time ago 3-4 years, but that may have been the path I ended up taking, make sure to write all the info down in case you need to re-enter it all manually. Then try calling them.
All the best

Unable to connect to IMAP to download mail

About two days ago, I did the most recent system updates on my computer. Since then, I have been unable to connect to the IMAP server to get my email. I can access it on my iPhone and when I log into iCloud.
This is the message I receive:
The MobileMe IMAP server “mail.me.com” rejected the password for user “xxxx”. Enter your password again or cancel.
I can send email from my laptop, however. I am currently using a MacBook Pro 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I'm not using iCloud on this machine but do use it for my iPhone 4.
Any insights that anyone can give would be helpful. I tried creating another IMAP account, but it wouldn't let me as I already have one. I could delete this one but then I lose my setup info, mailboxes, messages, notes and to do items, which I don't want.
Thanks ahead of time for any help!

The mistake you made was to migrate your MobileMe account to iCloud before you upgraded you computer to Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. The upgrade to Lion and the subsequent setting up of iCloud in Lion would have made the necessary adjustment to your mail application.
iCloud mail accounts use different settings then MobileMe. Here are the settings you should use in Mail:
This info comes from this support documnet: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
Server name: imap.mail.me.com
SSL Required: Yes

Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)

SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:

Port: 587
SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
Password: Your iCloud password
Additional Information
SSL is required for both IMAP and SMTP connection with iCloud. POP is not supported by iCloud.
