Using Mail with SBC Yahoo!

I have an account with SBC Yahoo that I know for sure is a POP mail server because I can use it with Outlook on my PC. My question is, what do I need to put in which field to use it with mail? Anyone use SBC Yahoo! with mail? Would you recomend mail or should I use a different program?

I hope this helps:
1) Start OSX Mail. The Accounts window will open automatically.
2) Select POP for the Account Type and enter a name for this account in the Description field. Enter your full email address in the Email Address field, and in the Full Name field, type your name the way you would like people to see it when they get email from you.
3) Enter pop.sbcglobal.yahoo.com in the Incoming Mail Server field. In the User Name field, enter your full email address and type your password in the Password field. Click the Options button to open the SMTP Server Options window.
4) Select Password from the Authentication pulldown. Enter your full email address in the User Name field and your password in the Password field. Click OK to close the SMTP Server Options window and then click OK again to close the Accounts window.
Your mail should now be setup!

Mail and sbc-yahoo

How does one set mail through sbc-yahoo?

You can set up your AOL email account in Mail as an IMAP type account per the instructions provided in this link.
http://members.aol.com/adamkb/aol/mailfaq/imap/applemail.html
SBC blocks the use of all SMTP servers outside of their network on Port 25 even if authenticated such as the AOL SMTP server. The instructions provided include entering 587 as the SMTP server port.
If this doesn't allow you to send a message with your AOL account using Mail, you need to contact SBC and "opt out" of Port 25 blocking even though you are using 587 as the server port for AOL's SMTP server. I believe you can "opt out" online at SBC's website.

I am using Mail with OS 10.9.1...I used to be able to drag and drop contact addresses from my address book to an e-mail header. Now I have to type all the names and can't drag and drop. Is there a setting for this? Thanks!

I am using Mail with OS 10.9.1. I used to be able drag and drop names from my address book into the address header, but can no longer do that. I now have to type each name in. Does anyone know if there is a setting for this or is it a feature of the updated software? Thanks for any info!

Yes, that appears how Mavericks works right now. However, you can open the Address Panel, select all your contacts, then click the To (or CC, or Bcc) buttons to move the selection to the address field.
If it is not already in the Toolbar, right-click on the Toolbar and select Customize Toolbar…
Then, drag the address panel up to wherever you want it.
You may also want to add it to the New Message window in the same way.

In using mail with my mackbook air with maverick, to open a message takes time as if the message is downloaded & its same every time I want to open the message from inbox.

WoW! I'm surprised by the speed you reply and how serious you are with your answers! Thank you very much guys!!!
Replying to Toad-Hall:
I have a proper mailing list created as the manual says. It's a small group of contacts that exist in the address book. I do not type them as CC I just write "clients" and before I finish the word the name of the list appears.
How can I stop Avast from scanning out going mail? It's the free version and I haven't found a real solution. I also tried to totally turn off the "mail shield" but I kept facing the same issues. However, I just turned it off and tried to send the mail, I didn't restart windows or thunderbird
The idea with ipage server was fantastic! It would never come to my mind!!! As far as I see, the limit is 250 mails per hour. I doubt if I have ever reached the 50% of it. I also don't reach the bandwith limits... Besides that, if I had exceeded the limit I would get multi responses that "mail was not delivered".
I want to thank you both for your excellent help so far. I'm sad to say that I still haven't solved the issue. When I made smaller lists, with the same addresses chosen from the address book I could send the messages, having a short delay. I would blame Avast but I tried the same on another laptop with my favourite NOD32 and had the same problem.
What else should I check? Should I focus on Avast?

Using mail with hotmail

how do i use mail with my msn hotmail account (http)
Thanks!

You need to install a httpmail plugin for the Mail.app which adds the httpmail protocol and account type to choose from when creating the account which can be downloaded here.

Using mail for a yahoo account

Is there any way I can use Mail for my yahoo mail account?

This will only work if you are not a resident of the US. Or so I am told.
1. Log into your yahoo account using your web browser
2. Click on options
3. Click on pop access and forwarding
4. Click on web and pop access
5. Set the setting to how you want them.
6. Set up mail to access your yahoo account.

Mac mail and sbc yahoo

I just switced to SBC Yahoo DSL (now AT&T). with the new DSL line installed, I was able to send emails from Entourage but not receive them. SBC tells me they do not support Entoruage so I tried using Mac Mail. With Mac Mail, I can receive emails but cannot send them. Now SBC is telling me they do not support ANY email programs for Mac OSX.
can anyone help me out?
Now that I'm using Mac Mail, I prefer that (though I would like to know how to get rid of a flower icon that appears in the header of emails sent from me).
thanks!
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Well, here is exactly how I have my setting:
Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com
Server Settings:
Server Port: 25
Do not check SSL
Authentication: password
Username: [email protected]
Password: password
Under the advanced tab, Port 110
SSL NOT checked.
Authentication: Password
If you've triple check all these options, I'd create a new account from scratch and re-enter everything.
If that doesn't work, try creating a new account on your mac, log in to that, and re-create the mail account to see if by some strange happenstance something has gotten f-ed up on a low level that is causing you not to be able to send mail. (though I have no idea what that would be...)
I'll keep my fingers crossed!!!

Mail and SBC Yahoo DSL

I'd been using a dial-up AOL account previously and so never bothered setting up a Mail account on my iMac until I got SBC Yahoo DSL last month. Now I'm using Safari to access the Internet but have been unable to set up a Mail account and thus still have to log into AOL to send and receive mail. Every time I try, the computer tells me it is unable to confirm my settings. What process do I need to follow to set up Mail so that I can get rid of AOL?

Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
Anyways I digress.
So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
Answers in a postcard :-)
Much love

Using Mail with both pop and imap accounts

I have a Q to better understand how the Mail app. works in Lion so there is better coordination among my devices and mail = I'd like to lay out how it is now set up and see whether or not I'm right about how to handle them - and how to do things better.
1. I have a .mac account and no problems with it = if I read and delete on iPhone it deletes off iPad and computer fine.
2. I have an email account that is an IMAP account but at another host [I use Mail to get email from it] - so what I think happens is that it's sort of the same thing but operating on that other host as an IMAP so that the same thing happens more or less - email comes in on all 3 devices and when I delete from one it deletes from others = but maybe not as fast because it's going thru the Mail intermediary. My need/wish is to use one email program [Mail] to get all my mail and that's why this and others all go thru Mail.
3. I have a 3rd account that is a POP account and can't be made IMAP because of the nature of the plan/host - in that I've noticed that I'll have 100 messages on my main computer and delete 75 of them but the 100 are still left on the iPhone and iPad = so far I don't do much about it but I hope/assume I'm right to think that if I know I've read and dealt with the 100 messages that if I want to I can just delete them all quickly off the iPhone or iPad...I'm not sure how to handle a Pop account to minimize all the hassle.
Does this seem like the right way to go or is there a better way to manage these 3 diff. accounts ??? I noticed some of the problem when I checked Mail on my iPad and saw there were loads of old emails 'unread' on it that I had dealt with on my computer so I knew things were out of whack.
Last thought = I do go to Synchronize all Accounts from time to time but really don't notice it makes a difference but maybe I don't understand tht either.
thanks much

Okay, it just fixed itself without me doing anything, or even quitting the program again. It still seems like a bug.

Using mail with Gmail

Just wondering how you import your gmail account so that you can use it with the mail on the bottom task bar. Thanks, Mel

Melanie,
Welcome to the Discussions.
If you click on Help in the Gmail pages in your Browser, you will find numerous subjects, one of which is POP access. In that resulting page you will find specific instructions for various types of mail clients, one of which is Apple Mail. You should familiarize yourself with the help topics that are available, but the link for POP access with Apple Mail is:

How to use Mail with Kerberos?

I am a Mac user in a mostly Windows office which uses an Exchange Mail Server 2003 for mail. Currently I connect to our mail server using Mail's Password Authentication. This works well, but our IT manager is concerned that this method sends the password in the clear, and would like to have me connect using Kerberos. But when I try using Kerberos (I've tried both version 4 and version 5 in Mail), Mail will not send. It waits a long time, then I get a drop down message saying "Cannot send message using the server ......"
There are others in our office using Windows laptops who are able to send mail using Kerberos, so it should work on our server.
Is there something wrong with Mail's use of Kerberos?
What do I need to change? (I'm using Mail Version 2.0.7 (746.2/749.3) with OS X 10.4.6.)
Thanks.

It doesn't seem anyone here knows anything about Kerberos? Any suggestions where I might post my question and find an answer?

Using mail with cable internet connection

I just got a cable modem and now my .mail application doesn't work –– won't send or retrieve emails. does anyone know how to deal with this? i'd really appreciate the help. many thanks -- matthew

yes, the att.net account is a POP. i intend to keep up my att subscription, even with the extra cost, because this isn't a good time to change my email address.
i can access my email through the att home page, but i'd much rather use .mail since it has tools that i use all the time.
many thanks

Using Mail with no .mac account

Hi, I know I can use Mail without a .mac account, but how? Everytime I open Mail, I get the 'enter your .mac password' thing, and not having a password, means I can't get any further, into the settings or anything.
What do I do?
