Unable to setup Yahoo account in Mail.app.

Everything worked ok till a couple of days ago and now keep getting error messages saying unable to connect to server. This is the latest message.
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “yahoo.com.au” or try again.
The server returned the error: Mail was unable to log in to the IMAP server “imap.mail.yahoo.com” using “Password” authentication. Verify that your account settings are correct.
The settings are all correct!
The server returned the error: (#AUTH701) Service is not available; please try again later.
A pop up box also keeps appearing asking for password

That was the first thing I tried!. Despite several deletions and trying to reinstall, I still get the error messages. In the mail app all the accounts (google, hotmail and yahoo) show up but there is a little symbol next to yahoo. When you do a diagnosis the messages appear saying that Mail is unable to log into server. I think the problem must be with Yahoo because the other accounts work fine and so did Yahoo till 3 days ago.

  • How to setup email account on mail app?

    I currently have an ".edu" account that I usually log-in through a browser.
    I usually place my email username in mail.office365.com then redirects me to adfs."school here".edu
    Then I usually do the actual login username and password for the organizational account.
    We are currently using the Outlook Web App on our school email.
    So, I don't know how to use this .edu account for the mail app in Windows 8.1.
    Is there any manual settings to add a microsoft account in windows 8.1?

    Hi,
    Did you mean that you want to add a “.edu” account to Mail App (Tile)in win8.1, if so, please open mail app, move mouse to the right edge, click Settings>Accounts>Add an account>Other Account.
    But to get started with Mail app, you need a Microsoft account, see detailed information in this link:

  • I can't find older emails in my Yahoo account or iPhone app BUT I am able to see them on my Mac Mail version of email. sent emails are OK.

    ... for the past few months i have noticed that emails in my inbox Yahoo mail account older than a few weeks keep disappearing. i cannot find them in my Yahoo account or iPhone app BUT i can see them on my Mac Mail version of email. Emails that i have stored into folders in my yahoo account are still there... same with my sent emails... it's just the Inbox emails.. strange, very strange. I don't know how to 'move' the emails from my Mac Mail  back to my Yahoo account.

    Please read and begin using Can receive email, but not send email. I had a similar issue with Comcast mail (could receive by not send) and found my answer in this letter. For me it took resetting the outgoing mail and telling the system to use a password when sending outgoing mail. If you need help with that please advise and I'll tell you where to look. 

  • Configuring mail account in Mail App with restriction account on

    Hi there,
    How is possible to create an account in Mail App with the restriction Accounts enable?
    I explain myself. I configure all the iPads of my business with the restrictions enabled and select "Don´t Allow Changes" on the Accounts tab.
    Settings > General > Restrictions> ( Enter Passcode ) >Enable Restrictions> Accounts > Don´t Allow Changes
    It suppouses to prevent any change or create an account on Mail App, but I´ve found a couple of iPads with a Yahoo and GMail account configured in the Mail App while the restrictions still enabled.
    Of course, users doesn´t know the Passcode and any of the general setting where modified.
    Is there any other way ( via web perhaps, no high tech at all ) to configure an account in a restricted iPad?
    I´m using iPad 2 ( iOS 5.0.1 )
    I can´t figure out how, and it´s driving me crazy.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks gyrhead for the answer.
    I do have Installing and Deleting Apps turned on so users can´t install or delete anything.
    Guessing a four digits passcode in 10 attemps is very dificult, I discard that option.
    There is somehow to add a Yahoo o Gmail account with account Restictions Enable.
    Safari has no restriction indeed, except "private brownsing", so it might come from that way, but I can´t figured out how you might configure a Gmail o Yahoo account straight to the Mail App using just Safari...

  • Exporting Entourage Account to Mail.app

    I'd like to export my Entourage settings for an Exchange email account into Mail.app. When I open Mail.app and try the "import" option, it doesn't do anything. I have tried copying the information under the settings for this particular Entourage email account into Mail.app, but am unable to connect to the Exchange server.

    I'd like to see this too. I got a new job and CAN NOT get MAIL to work, but the account settings work in ENTOURAGE. I ONLY NEED TO IMPORT THE EMAIL ACCOUNT - NOT the contacts, calendar, etc.
    CAN I IMPORT AN EMAIL ACCOUNT - (NOT a "Mailbox")
    HELP & THANKS!

  • Yahoo discussions and mail.app ?

    Hi,
    So-- Here's the thing.. If I post a yahoo discussion on yahoo's web form, it shows up in my mail.app inbox (as I am part of the group).
    However, if I post a yahoo discussion from Mail.app, I never see my message get sent to me-- though if I go to the discussions page on yahoo, the email is there. I am just wondering why this is and what solution there is to make it so that I always see my own post after I send it. Should I just cc myself? I wouldn't think that is necessary...
    -patrick

    Free Yahoo Mail accounts are not accessible through anything but a web browser.
    If you purchase a Yahoo Plus account, you will have POP access.

  • Better management of multiple accounts on Mail.app

    When using multiple accounts on Mail.app, it is possible to have different colors for each account, so that it is easier to avoid sending email from the wrong account?

    You're undoubtedly better off to set the mail on the server to forward to your central account, and only maintain one account in Mail. Trying to set up rules in Mail to download mail and then forward it is just going to become cumbersome, and runs the risk of creating some kind of infinite mail loop. (For example, someone sends something to one address, it gets forwarded but for some reason your primary account's mailbox is full. The other address gets the bounce notification and forwards it back to the primary, which generates another bounce... you see where this is going, I'm sure.

  • I can't recieve or send e-mails from my yahoo account in mail. Also, what should I do to repair the screen of my iPad 2 if I don't have any Apple warranty?

    For some unknown reason, I have been having issues when sending and recieving e-mails from my Yahoo account in mail on my iPad, but can use mail just fine on my iPhone. Why is this, and how do I fix it?
    I accidentally dropped my iPad 2 on Monday, it hit my foot, and the screen cracked. I recieved this iPad some time in August 2011, and no longer have any sort of warrany on it. Should I take it in to Apple and get a replacement, or have a third party fix it? And if so, how much would it cost, and where should I go?

    I am glad we were able to get your email working again. Please reach out anytime you need us.
    Thanks,

    I am unable to start or select the MAIL app. No incoming mail and no outgoing mail. I do not even know how to get an answer without email. Can you help?

    Thank you Carolyn, How helpless you can feel without this App!
    Going into the App Store as you suggest, I see 'thee updates available", the first says, 'X RESTART', the second says, 'Garage Band, an error has occurred" (in red), and the third 'Memory Clean, UPDATE'.
    Am I correct in thinking that OSX is the problem, because it is waiting for a restart?
    Kind regards,

  • Only 1 of my Mail accounts in mail.app won't show up in itunes!?

    Hi,
    So I have three email accounts in mail.app. 1 mobileme, 1 IMAP, and 1 Exchange. The MobileMe and the IMAP will show up in my mail accounts list in itunes, but my Exchange account doesn't show up. I was able to manually create the exchange account on my iPhone, so it's not a huge deal, but still... any ideas?
    Thank,
    Lou Teti

    lou tetl,
    The list in iTunes under the Info tab is the list of accounts you can transfer the settings for from your computer directly to the iPhone.
    It is not a list of the accounts on the iPhone, or a list of all accounts on your computer.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.

  • Help With Hooking Up A Google Apps Mail Account With Mail.app v 4.4?

    I'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out with this, basically I'm at university, and my university E-mail account is set up through google apps. It looks like this "[email protected]", and I'd like to be able to access this account through Mail.app, but I'm struggling to get the two to play nice, does anyone know what incoming and outcoming settings I need to use to get it to work, or if there's any settings I need to alter in Gmail itself first?
    Thanks a lot in advance for any help anyone can give me.
    Sam

    Sorry, sorted it, just had to fill it all out like a normal IMAP Gmail account but fill out my entire email address anytime it asked for a username.

  • Cannot delete accounts in Mail.app

    Title states the problem. I cannot delete accounts in Mail.app whether in the Mail preferences or Internet Accounts tab of the System Preferences. I have dead e-mail addresses and when I click the minus, in Internet Accounts, the account flashes off and comes right back, complete with a fancy little animation. When I do it in Mail, it tells me "The operation couldn't be completed." and I should try going to Internet Accounts.
    How do I purge these accounts from the system? I've already deleted the mailboxes in ~/Library/Mail/V2.
    Thanks.

  • Deleting emails from a yahoo account through Mail

    I am new to the Apple and I am able to get my emails from my yahoo account, but I believe that there is a way to delete the messages from my yahoo account through MAIL. Can I set Mail up automatically to delete these messages from my Yahoo account? Am I correct and if so, how is this done?
    Otherwise, it does not seem very useful to access my yahoo account through Mail because I will have to go back to my yahoo account and clean through them anyway.
    Thanks

    Presumably you have a paid-for Yahoo account which permits POP* access (the free account doesn't). If you have this set up in Mail, go to Mail Preferences>Accounts>the Yahoo account: click 'Advanced' and tick 'Remove copy from server after retrieving a message' (though actually this is the default so it ought already to be ticked): set the pop-up menu below this to 'Right away'.

  • Multiple gmail accounts in mail.app via IMAP - how to delete messages

    multiple gmail accounts in mail.app via IMAP - how to delete messages so that they are not stored on gmail and not in All Mail therefore either.
    i know that dragging messages to the GMail.Trash folder deletes it in Gmail, but doing that for multiple accounts is a hassle!
    anybody else struggle with this, solved it?

    i have still not figured out a solution to this. very painful - the fact that messages iwill not be using ever again and with large attachments, just sit there in all mails and slow down mail.app for me, fill up search results with stuff i don't want to see and fill up space on the HDD. the attachments as a result often are stored 3-4 times on the HDD!
    some geek here must have solved it - come on!

  • Unable to re-add gmail account to Mail app

    I'm trying to re-setup a Google email account that I deleted from my Macbook Pro (Yosemite). I get the following message when trying to set it up in Internet Accounts:
    There was a problem setting up the Mail account.
    Mail couldn't discover the account settings for the Mail server "mydomain.com".
    If I click OK, my contacts, Calendar, and Messages accounts are all configured. Only the Mail account isn't checked (or setup in Mail). When I try to check the box, it immediately unchecks with no error given.
    I noted the following log entries in the system log, not sure if they are related:

UserInfo=0x7fb90b4236d0 {NSDebugDescription=The connection to service named com.apple.CrashReporterSupportHelper was invalidated.}
    I've tried setting the account up manually ("Add Other Account...") but that also failed. I've tried repairing within Disk Utilities. I've restart multiple times.
    I've verified that IMAP is enabled for this account. I am able to set this account up in the third party app Postbox (another email client for mac) with no issues.
    There must be something wrong with my local configuration and I'm out of ideas. Help?

    precisely the same issue on 2 computers on 10.9 and 10.10
    - the accounts are google apps for business accounts
    - imap is on
    - 2 step verification is off
    - upgrading the 10.9 machines resulted in the same issue/error
    - running onyx and cleaning out everything did nothing
    - trashing mail prefs nothing
    - creating new user account on the macs...same issue
    - i can setup the accounts on my own 10.10 machine (ios also works for those 2 accounts)
    completely dead in the water....my next step to try is to clean install the 2 effected machine....
