Why are my emails addressed to yahoo and mindspring clients being rejected for syntax errors?

Here is the error message:
Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:
Lisa@[email protected]
Technical details of permanent failure:
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain yahoo.com by mta7.am0.yahoodns.net. [98.138.112.37].
The error that the other server returned was:
501 Syntax error in parameters or arguments

Thanks, Zenos! My little test seemed to go through with no problems. One additional piece of information that puzzles me is that I used the address with the superfluous @ for two weeks before the failures - hmmmm.
Having said that, I should not have used the @ in the address - period. It would be nice to have Thunderbird catch that when I entered the address initially. I am currently using Version 32.0, which I believe to be the latest version.
Thanks for solving it so quickly!

  • Why am I being told my email address has changed and need to change it for my apple id to work?

    Not just iTunes store, but every day or so, when I'm trying to check for updated apps in iTunes, or download something on iPhone or update OS X software via App Store, I'm told that my email address has changed and I need to update it before I can download tunes from iTunes.
    I then get redirected to a page where my apple id is shown (my email address), the address field is blank and a couple of password fields with ****** in them.
    I put my email address (apple id) back in and all is well.
    Why is it being reset all the time?
    I don't have another apple id with the same address, but I do have a lot of devices using my one apple id:
    A Mac (Lion latest)
    iPhone 4S (iOS5 latest)
    iPad 1 (iOS5 latest)
    iTunes on XP (latest iTunes)
    iPhone 3G (iPhone OS 3 - yea, really ancient)
    Apple TV 1 (latest)
    Wondering if one of these could be causing a reset.

    this can happen when the billing address in your appleid info is not EXACTLY the same as your bank details, depending of the bank (see if you right "st" instead "street" maybe)

  • Why are the emails in my yahoo deleted file being erased on my iphone

    I have yahoo email and for the last month, or so, the emails in my deleted file (trash) are erasing on my iphone 3gs, even though the setting for deleted emails to be removed is NEVER. Why is this happening all of a sudden???
    Could this be same reason why my calendar is no longer syncing with my yahoo calendar, nor is my phone saving all appointments entered in calendar via my iphone??
    Beginning to think this "smartphone" was a waste of money, with as much time I've wasted on it!

    Contact yahoo if the email account is not working correctly based on the settings that you have selected.

  • Why are vector files losing their strokes and the paths being outlined when I place and embed them in Illustrator CC?

    We use several hundred templates in eps format, so there is a lot dragging of files from windows explorer directly into Illustrator CC .  However, when I hit the embed option, all the strokes are converted to shapes.  We use a lot of dashed strokes so this is a problem when the embedding option changes each dash to an individual shape.  It isn't on all eps files, it's random and we can't find the common factor causing this.  The originals were created in Illustrator.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Your question is "Why?" and I must admit I don't know. But this is exactly the kind of thing that has always deterred me from adopting a drag-and-drop workflow in any aspect of my work.
    If you're bringing those into another file, it might benefit you to open them and copy/paste instead of drag/drop.
    The sequence could go like this:
    Double-Click
    Ctrl+A (select all)
    Ctrl+C (copy)
    Ctrl+W (close...and return to working file)
    Ctrl+V (paste) or Ctrl+F (paste in front) or Ctrl+B (paste in back)

  • Why are my emails not deleting from all devices when deleted from one?  I have iCloud set up and turned on. I have ipad2, iphone5 and a Mac. What am I doing wrong?  Thank you

    Why are my emails not deleting from all devices when deleted from one?  I have iCloud mail set up and turned on. I have ipad2, iPhone 5 and a Mac desktop. What am I doing wrong?  Thank you.

    It depends on the type of email account you are using, not on iCloud.  If you are using an IMAP or exchange account, when you delete from one device, it is deleted from all devices.  If you are using a POP (POP3) account, it won't.  (iCloud email, Gmail and Yahoo are all IMAP accounts.)

  • TS3988 The correct information in the email address, Full name and Incoming mail server panes are greyed out, and I can get no further in bring my iCloud a/c online. Any ideas? Thanks.

    I've just updated and installed Mountain Lion. I've clicked for iCloud for Mail. The correct information in the email address, Full name and Incoming mail server panes are greyed out, and I can get no further in bring my iCloud a/c online. Any ideas? Thanks.

    They are grayed out because they are automatically set up whey you check Mail in System Preferences.  If you didn't do that, go back and do so and your iCloud email account will be set up automatically.

    why are the emails that I have sent out not going to the recepiants but instead being held in my outbox, and how do I resend them?

    This problem is generally caused by not having a connection to the ISP mail sender (send and receive authenticate and operate independently).

  • Why are my emails getting caught in my outbox and not sending?

    Why are my emails getting caught in my outbox and not sending?

    This started happening to me immediately after updating to 10.9.3. None of the suggestions that I could find through Google (orotherwise) helped at all. Mail.app simply does not try to empty the outbox. I would call AppleCare, but they'll just tell me that the software is fine and that it's unreasonable for me to expect to be able to send email.
    Apple support is a dim shadow of it's former self, but it correctly reflects teh state of Apple development. I picked a horrible time to switch to Mac.

  • HT201363 why my Alternate Email Addresses does work on my  send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.?

    why my Alternate Email Addresses does work on my  send an email to your rescue email address to reset your security questions and answers.?

    Because an alternate email isn't the same as a rescue email. If you can't get an email sent to your rescue email address or don't have one, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    I have 2 email addresses (1 mac.and 1 blueyonder.) each with separate identities and passwords. I am forever getting asked to verify identity and/or passwords and having these refused and me then having to set up new ones. Can I combine my email addresses to a single Apple Identity and Password? If yes then How?
    Any help much appreciated as this is driving me crazy!

    Depending on what you're asking...
    There is no means to merge Apple IDs.  You can change the mail address assocaited with your Apple ID, so you might switch to using and purchasing from one email address, and using the second as a backup.  (There's no means to merge the purchases, and related baggage.)
    While I'm guessing this was about Apple IDs, for completeness...  Combining the mail messages involving multiple email addresses is separate from the Apple ID; that is usually done with some combination of notifying the senders or with the forwarding of messages from one mail server to the preferred server.  Or running multiple mail accounts in parallel, depending on what you are up to.

  • My old email address was hacked and I am no longer able to access it. How can i reset my icloud ID without losing all of my pictures and more inportantly contacts? I have created a new ID but i cannot seem to use it until I delete the old account

    my old email address was hacked and I am no longer able to access it. How can i reset my icloud ID without losing all of my pictures and more importantly contacts? I have created a new ID but i cannot seem to use it until I delete the old account

    You need to use the old ID and password to delete the iCloud account. After you delete the old account, you can sign in with the new ID in iCloud.
    Have you seen this.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
    iCloud
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
    If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
    Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.

  • Why do other email addresses come up when I sign in with my Apple ID.

    I just go my 5S and when I sign in with my apple ID and password 2 other email addresses pop up and ask for the password for those email address. It seems like it is trying to sign in to the other email addresses Apple ID's. This has become a pain to get my back up to work when I swap phones. Any ideas on why this happens or how to fix it?

  • TS1541 I tried importing email addresses from gmail and now my address book is locked up and will not work. Help please.

    I tried importing email addresses from gmail and now my address book is locked up and will not work. Do I need to delete my address book software and reinstall? If so, what is the proper way to do this? New to Macbook software. I have tried several things and nothing has helped. I have backed up photos, movies, etc. My addresses are on my iphone so I can sync them later right if I loose my data?
    Thanks for your time and expertise,
    T.

    You can probably resolve this by removing some Address Book preference files rather than deleting your Address Book application.
    First turn off Synchronize in Address Book Preferences if you can.
    Next restart Address Book and try to export everything to your Desktop.
    I have had a play and found my Address Book preference files. In the following ~/Library is the Library within your Home folder. Any numerals may differ on your Mac. Quit Address Book before doing anything with these.
    1 - Display details and things set in Address Book Preferences
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist
    2 - Has no data - not sure what this does
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.abd.plist
    3 - Has last sync date - may have more if I used sync
    ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.AddressBook.sync.000393735c06.plist
    4 - My contact details
    /Library/Preferences/AddressBookMe.plist
    5 - Individual addresses and groups stored as separate files within:
    ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Metadata
    6 - All of these addresses are are also in this single database:
    ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook-v22.abcddb
    If you wish to remove all addresses drag both 5 & 6 to your Desktop.
    If you wish to reset preferences drag 1 your Desktop.
    Removing 3 may resolve sync issues but I am unable to test this.
    If you wish to reset everything drag all except 4 to your desktop.
    Apple has an interesting page at: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2481
    I hope this helps.

    Having take the advice to use a BT email address via Yahoo, iPad tells me that the a/c may not be able to send or receive emails

    I set up a btinternet account by selecting Yahoo from the Add Account screen, and just had to fill in the name, email address, password and a description -  I got the same send and receive warning and I had to log into the account via a browser on the iPad to 'confirm' it on it, but it then worked (though I had to go back and re-enter the account's password).
