Windows Live Mail - Cannot download BT Yahoo Mail ...

I've been trying on and off for about 4 hours to download my btinternet e-mails to Windows Live Mail.
BT web mail is working correctly (sending/receiving).
I have numerous accounts set up in WLM so that all my btinternet, gmail and hotmail e-mails are all in one place.
All 9 of my btinternet mail accounts stall on Finding host... and the message eventually shown is The connection to the server has failed.
My 4 gmail account and 5 hotmails accounts DO download to WLM.
(Although I dont use Outlook Express anymore, I have my main btinternet account still there. So I launched OE and that too stalled on Finding host...).
So does anyone know - are there known problems today with server?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Same issue for about 3 days now. Web mail working but cannot download incoming emails with windows live mail.
BT support bl**dy useless as usual and we have to pay for the priveledge of using it . . .
The solution offered in one of the links below is for Outlook 2007 - will this solution work with Windows Live Mail? Is peerblock still recommended? How do we know when our email has been migrated away from Yahoo and what are the email client settings we need to use?
Any advice will be grateful, and the more detailed the better as I am reasonable tech savvy but not an IT guy :-)
Thanks

I downloaded the new OS and I cannot access my yahoo mail account. I get error 19

I just downloaded the new OS maverick and cannot access my yahoo mail. I receive error 19.

I did last night and it is still doing the same thing.

I cannot open my Yahoo Mail but everything else is OK. When I click Yahoo Mail Icon, I get this error message "Safari Cannot open this page. Safari can not establish secure connection with Yahoo Mail.

It sounds as though a script on the site, or an advertisement, is not working quite right...
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies using either of these. Save any pending work first.
While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

How can I download e-mails in subfolders from yahoo mail to Thunderbird?

Windows Live Hotmail Plus - Work in Apple Mail?

Can someone tell me if 'Windows Live Hotmail Plus' works with Apple Mail?
Can I send and receive (hotmail) e-mails in Mail without going onto the internet to the hotmail site?
I will still use the online hotmail, when I'm away from my computer.
One on my friends suggested using Gmail, but there's too much hassle changing everything over. And I mean everything... all my internet shopping accounts, all the forums account, all my contacts I have stored... plus I want to keep using Adium (all my friends have hotmail and MSN on Windows, but iChat doesn't work). So I don't want Gmail for sending them all e-mails while still using hotmail to chat... I'd rather they'd all be under the one account (hotmail).
I have set up a "test" account with Gmail. Its ok, but I think because I've been using hotmail for years it just seems really different and I have to say it... I don't like it. (this is on the website site access) - it seems very cluttered, I don't like that replies are kept in threads in one e-mail, you can't customize it... I know I'll p*ss some people of but I love hotmail.
On the plus side, it does what I want hotmail to do... it allows me to view, create and send e-mails in Apple Mail with no problems, while also having the ability to access it online when I'm away from home.
I have/still using Izymail - which can let me view and send hotmails e-mails in Mail, but all e-mails (plain text, or with a photo, or .doc file attached) are all blocked when they reach anyone else's hotmail account - even though the sender is on the Safer Sender list - so it's Izymail part which is being blocked and there's no way to fix it.
Thanks for any information.

Please tell me if you've had any luck.
I was receiving hotmail through Mail until two days ago!?!? I've been using httpmail for years and suddenly now it's not working. Actually, it's been acting up since hotmail live went online - it's very geared towards windows users!!
I can't send, receive. It says I need to subscribe to a live account (the error message in mail) - but I have a live account!! I have a plus account!!
I emailed support at hotmail but haven't received a reply.
This is so depressing. Why can't apple and windows applications just get along?

TS2621 Cannot access my yahoo mail in iPad. Receive it on my iPhone. Have stopped & started both. Put the fetch to "off" & manually. Not sure what else to do.

Cannot access my yahoo mail in iPad. Receive it on my iPhone. Have stopped & started both. Put the fetch to "off" & manually. Not sure what else to do.comes up with message "connection to server failed". This started when I transferred my service to a iPhone 4 to a 4s.

Reinstalling would be about the most useless thing you could do, given that the test with the other User account works -- that means the application is OK.
The next step that would be indicated would to remove the com.apple.mail.plist file from Home/Library/Preferences, after having Quit Mail. Subsequently when you relaunch Mail it will open as though New, but if you only enter the setup information for each account, and DECLINE when prompt to ask if you want to Import anything. Mail should rediscover the existing account folders, and all should be well.
As a precaution, open Home/Library and locate the Mail folder -- Duplicate the Mail folder, and drag the resulting copy to the Desktop for temporary backup.

Can I setup Mail app to access Yahoo mail via IMAP?

Can I setup Mail app to access Yahoo mail via IMAP? I think that my iPhone is doing this, but what about the Apple Mail app on my Mac? I don't like the fact that the Mac downloads the e-mail messages and removes them from the server, therefore making them inaccessible from Yahoo's online mail or my iPhone.
I'd like to get to work just like my Mobile Me e-mail... Any thoughts?

There is an option in the 'Advanced' section of the account setup to delete the messages from the server after a specified period rather than immediately on download; you could leave them for a week or whatever, then they will still be there when the iPhone accesses them.

No reason to shout , typing in all caps is considered shouting.
What happens when you right click the file?

I cannot see my yahoo mail page correctly, not even when I enter my mail. I already have Shockwave and Adobe plugins.How can I solve this?

The photographs on the Yahoo Mail can't be seen. If I use Chrome, they work perfect. When I enter my mail account, still happens the same, I can only see text with hyperlinks and thats it.

If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
* Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
* Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
* Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
* Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
* Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
* If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

I cannot download attachments from mail

I tap on an attachment and it tells me it's unable to download the attachment

Hi Thank you for getting back to me . When I click on Save ( save to my compuer) i get a quick scanning attachment and nothing happens after that. Browsing through different answers to in the support groups I found that someone else facing the same problem decided to forward to the mail to a different email account and try downloading. Yahoo to Gmail as in my case. I tried that and it worked. However I would prefer to solve this issue from yahoo mail.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/3009211#3009211
Apparently there was an answer to the problem in the past but it seems to have now been deleted/archived?
Any help you can give me would be much appreciated.
so far I have tried a different browser, deleted cache. history, checked if files are being downloaded elsewhere, folders, desktop etc ( they are maent to go to downloads) Created a new used id for my computer logged in from it and tried.
but forwarding the same mail to my Gmail account and downloading from there has worked.
Thank you.

Mail: Cannot download mp3s

If I receive an email with an mp3 music file attached and view it in Mail, I can play it from the email, but I cannot find a way of downloading it. If I hover my mouse-cursor over it, a small menu appears that includes 'Status: downloaded' and 'Control-click for menu', but control-clicking does not achieve anything else.
I have to go to Safari and look at the email in whichever of my webmail accounts it was received in (i.e. gmail or btinternet). Then I can download it perfectly easily. But surely it should be possible to download it from Mail?
Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks, Eric. I had already tried that, and similar strategies, with no success. But after posting my question, I went back to Mail and suddenly spotted the little 'Download' button at the top right of the screen, which I had never noticed before. Works perfectly! I was about to post this PS to my post, but you got in first.

Window-live blocking emails to my Mac mail

And then there is Mail http://www.apple.com/support/mail has a Wizard to check your settings, start here.
Tried logging into Live mail and checking your settings and click on Help?
I use Live on iPod, tablet and 3 computers. When I did have trouble it was the password, they don't allow special characters in passwords.

I cannot login to Yahoo mail on my Mac with firefox, but I can with Safari.

I am running Firefox 3.6 on Mac. I have had no problems until yesterday when it stopped allowing me to login to Yahoo mail. I can login using Safari on the same laptop, so I know there is no problem with my mail account or computer. When I look at the error message it says it looked for "*" but could not find it. How do I get "*" and if I do will that fix the problem?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Yesterday

This may also be a problem specific to Firefox 26 + Mavericks.
