Use Yahoo! Push IMAP and GMail Outgoing Server

Hi. I use GMail as my primary email account, but I really like the Yahoo push IMAP capability.
I have setup my gmail account to forward to my free yahoo account.
How can I setup my iPhone to check my yahoo account (with push imap) but when I send, to use the GMail SMTP server? I can't find the outgoing server setting when I setup the yahoo account on my phone.

Read the reply post carefully people.
There is no mention of a magical new Yahoo account shortcut.
The reply post states that the only short cut that exist is when you set up an e-mail account.
The big one with Yahoo on it, the one you all would have had to of used already.
In other words their is no magic way of doing what you want to do.

My phone keeps saying that the IMAP and the outgoing server are failing.

For the past 3 days it has been saying either my IMAP is failing or my outgoing server is failing. I don't know what to do and I need my emails for school. I have a 4s but I just recently updated and it seems like it all started after that. I have internet and my emails work on the computer so it has to be something with my phone itself.

When you updated the phone it may have erased your passwords. It will do that if you don't have your backup encrypted and you upgraded using iTunes on your computer. So go to Settings/mail,contacts,calendars and reënter the passwords for both incoming and outgoing mail.
If that doesn't resolve the problem you should delete the email account in Settings/mail,contacts,calendars. Then reset the phone by holding the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears (you will not lose any data), and finally recreate the account.

Im having massive issues with my email... I cant receive emails for my work email... was working perfectly and now just wont connect, i assume that I need to use my home wifi as the outgoing server?? Please help :)

For your work email, do you use a well known server or do you use their own server? Their server IMAP and SMTP addresses might of changed or you entered them in wrong. It might be something with your router but unless you blocked every incoming connection, then it should work. I would talk to your tech guys at work to see if it is on their end.
Hope this helped a bit, Sean

How do I specify the gmail outgoing server if I have multiple gmail accounts in my mail? I have 2 business accounts and when I send mail from one account, it is sent from the other account and the sending email is not from the correct account.

I love my apple email and do not want to use google mail on safari. However, I have 2 gmail accounts set up on apple mail, but when I send mail from one of my gmail accounts (I choose the specific gmail account in the drop down window), it actually goes out as if it is from the other gmail account. I can't have that happen because one is my job, the other is a personal business account and unfortunately, the mail from both gmail accounts want to send through the personal business account. How do I make it send from a specific gmail account? I even tried deleting the accounts and setting them up again hoping I set it up wrong in the first place, but to no avail, it is still doing the same thing except this time I set the job account up first and then the personal business account and now everything goes from the job account! The only good thing is that the incoming messages work properly and they go into the correct inbox. Somebody please fix my outbox!

In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account. The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

How do I delete a message? Using Imap and gmail

I am using imap with gmail in apple mail for leopard. I get the idea that when you press the delete button it only deletes the inbox tag and it is still available for reference in "all mail" on the left window. I like this, it allows me to clear out my inbox and still reference e-mails later. Here is the question... How do I really delete a message, one I truly never care to see again? My "all mail" is getting out of control.

This is what I do:
In preferences, I set my Gmail account as recommended by Google: I UNcheck the "Move deleted messages to the Trash mailbox" option under Mailbox Behaviors. Once I do that, clicking "Delete" from the inbox actually archives it into the All Mail, but leaves it in my mailbox.
If there is an email I actually want to delete from my account, I move it from my Inbox to the Trash folder. I do this with a MailActOn keystroke, but you can do it just by moving it or dragging it there.
MailActOn helps a bunch if you have a lot of emails. I process about 300 a day and rely on it for maintaining my sanity, especially since I can set the same keystroke to do different things in different accounts, since I "delete" and "archive" differently for different accounts.

Verizon server timing out when using Yahoo to send and answer emails from Verizon user

A friend uses Yahoo for his email even though he is a Verizon customer. Frequently when he sends or responds to emails from my Verizon email account, he gets Failure Notices saying that the "Verizon Server is unavailable for too long". How can this be fixed short of saying "stop using Yahoo"?

The Yahoo/Verizon issue happens when Yahoo blocks Verizon's servers or vice-versa, and is usually cleared up within a day or two.
You can report it to Verizon if you want, but odds are they're already aware.

Gmail outgoing server issues with Apple Mail

Hi,
I'm currently running OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion, and trying to set up my gmail account in Apple Mail. I can recieve mail just fine, but am not able to send mail. for the outgoing server i typed "smtp.gmail.com." When i look at the Mail Connection Doctor it says that the imap incoming was able to login in and connect, as well as the smtp is succeeding with its connection to the server. However I keep getting the message that says "cannot send message using the server smtp.gmail.com"
With the connection doctor window still up, upon trying to send my letter again, an error comes up...even though the connections are still good. The error reads:

If anybody knows what the problem is or how to fix it, I'd be greatly appreciative. In addition, I do have this account being fed to my phone, to which it can send/receive mail just fine.
Thanks

By default Mail should enter all the correct setting for Gmail.
It's asking for authentication.
Select to Edit SMTP settings.
Select your Gmail account from the list.
Click on Advanced.
√ Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
Gmail likes port 465 but Apple default to all ports.
Make sure your password is entered.
Use the Connection doctor to test your settings. You should see green lights to show your receiving and sending settings are correct. Click on Show Details if you see a red light.

Yahoo mail can't send - Outgoing server "(null)" failed

I can not send ONLY from MY Yahoo email address. When I try to send a message is says "Outgoing Server '(null)' failed."
I have tried changing my password to one without numbers or characters, deleting the account and re-adding, restoring the iPhone. Nothing.
Here is the wierd thing: any other Yahoo account works just fine. My wifes yahoo address works perfectly, I created a new one and it works perfectly as well. It is just my address. Has anyone else had this problem?

I have the same problem. The issue is IMAP vs. POP. Setting up the bizmail account with the pre-loaded "YahooMail" link in the Mail setup options sets up your bizmail account with IMAP settings. While this allows you to see all your storage folders from the server, for whatever reason, you can't receive mail as the incoming server "null" fails. I can send mail just fine, but I can't receive. Now the work-around was to set it up as an "other account," not using the YahooMail link. Then you have to select "POP", then use "pop.bizmail.yahoo.com" (ignore the quotes) for the incoming mail server with SSL turned OFF. For outgoing, you use "smtp.bizmail.yahoo.com:465", turn ON SSL. The 465 designates the correct port, so you should have that in there. This will allow you to both send and receive, but will NOT allow you to view your storage folders. The account would have to be set up as IMAP in order to see those folders, but I have been unsuccessful in getting that information from yahoo business support. They are as useless as the "geniuses" at the Apple Store. Hope this helps!

Push email and Gmail (best workaround I've found)

Hi
Having just updated to 2.0 I wanted to use the push email feature but my primary address is a googlemail one which doesn't fully support push! So I found a way of kind of working around this and thought I'd see if others wanted to use it.
First of all you will need:
1: A Gmail address
2: A Yahoo! Mail address (yes this uses yahoo!)
2.5: An iPhone with 2.0 (kind of obvious)
Step 1: setup the gmail address to forward all email to the yahoo address and (key point) archive gmail's copy of the email. This stops the email being forwarded to your iPhone and you recieving 2 allerts per email (really anoying!).
Step 2: Setup your Yahoo! mail account on your iPhone (I used the shortcut that is built in).
Initialy I thought about recieving the email via yahoo (push) and then changing the smtp server to the gmail one, streamlining the whole process but when using the Yahoo! mail shortcut you cannot change the smtp server (kind of stupid). So:
Step 3: Setup your gmail account on your iPhone, I called my yahoo mail account 'Gmail (push)' and my actual gmail account 'Gmail'. Then set this account to only recieve manualy (because you just want to send email from it not recieve!). Then when sending an email from the yahoo mail account (for example replying to an email) there will be the address that the iPhone is using to send the email, just tap that and it will bring up an option to change it. Yes you have to do this all the time, but I figure if it becomes anoying just tap into the gmail account and do it from there, (cmon it's like one extra tap!). Then when the person recieves their email from you it will say from [email protected] not yahoo.com.
This will work with all other kinds of email services that allow email to be forwarded to yahoo.
This may be obvious to some people but alot of people have asked how I did it!
Anyway, anyprobs, let me know!

I found that having gmail archive the incoming emails slows it down considerably (a few seconds if it's sent to the inbox, 4 minutes if it archives). So, I kept my email going to the inbox and live with receiving the same message twice on my iphone 3G.

Gmail outgoing server problems

I am currently experiencing gmail outbox issues that have only popped up recently. It is also happening to another person I know of.
Is anyone else finding the "failed to send smtp.gmail.com" coming up more often lately??? Is there something going on?

I'm not having any problem with Gmail at all.
What are the specific Incoming and Outgoing server settings for that Gmail account, and what is the exact text of the error message you get, if any? Is this a POP or IMAP account? When did this start happening and what did you do just prior to this problem starting?

Using POP not iMap for Gmail in Lion

I set up Gmail using iMAP and I find it utterly unusable. It's trying to download all 100,000 messages onto my new MacBook Air. NO!!!!
I want to use POP—as i have on all my other machines—to access my Gmail, but I can't seem to get the new version of Mail to cooperate.
Can anyone please step me through how to set up POP access to Gmail? Just changing imap.google.com to pop.google.com does not work. If I try to create a new account, the moment I enter gmail.com it automatically set up as IMAP.
So frustrating!

THANK YOU BARNEY
Words almost fail me regarding why this option is not only hidden from view, is not explained in the help text accessed from the '?' button, and needs secret knowledge to get to (or did I miss something basic somewhere?) but thank gawd I found your answer, albeit after an exasperating significant amount of wasted time...

Problem with iMap and Gmail

I am using iMap on the iPhone and Gmail however I have a problem concerning marking messages as read. If I mark a message as read on iPhone it gets marked as read on Gmail but not on my Apple mail client. If I mark something as read on Apple mail it gets marked as read both on Gmail and the iPhone. Can anyone shed any light on this please ?

Hello,
I can't speak on the MAC side, but in Gmail, you need to go into the settings (top left corner when inside Gmail). You can turn this on or off. Once you get to the settings, you'll definately see it.
Good Luck.

Can I broadcast multiple video chats using Adobe flash player and "RED5 flash server"?

Hello...
I've just joined today, and I had a question about RED5 & Adobe... Does anyone know if it is possible to broadcast multiple video chats using Adobe flash player from "RED5 flash server"?
Thanks,
P.delafortune

I am not sure whether any one of us has experience with RED 5 server - it would be best if you can post of RED 5 forums and try to get solution to your query. If you have any related query with respect to FMS - please feel free to post again.

Mail application - quits unexpectedly when using IMAP and gmail

when i use mail as a IMAP client i will get the dialog box about mail quits unexpectedly
this only happens with gmail - no issue when using mail with mobile.me

Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

Not all my messages are sinked when using IMAP and Gmail.

This happens on all computers I've tested. I've tested 2 windows 7 64 bits and one windows vista 32 bit.
I configure IMAP on my thunderbird client and most emails sink, but there is about a week or 2 that don't. This week or two is about 2 weeks before I sinked the new cliant to the server. For example, if I sinked today, august 27, emails between august 1 and 14 would not sink.
Emails from 2 years ago and yesterday will sink just fine, it is always about that 2 week past mark where they don't sink.
On one windows 7 that I sinked on august 14, the emails don't sink from July 15 to august 1 although they are there on the second computer.
The emails are in my Gmail, so I've just been going into the online client to read them, but why would this be happening?

You are low on memory. Look in Options >Status and post the number you see next to "File Free." Once you get that number, remove the battery and reinsert and post the number there after the reboot. Then read the thread below to fix the problem for good:
