Yahoo/Apple Mail error message

I am getting the following error message when trying to set up Yahoo mail in Apple Mail program.
The server returned the error: The server “imap.yahoo.com” cannot be contacted on port 993.
I have tried 995 on the port and still no work!
What goes?

  • 'cannot get mail' error message

    Getting 'cannot get mail' error message for my hotmail on iphone and ipad, tried resetting account and passwords, not helping...any ideas??

    My email started working -- on its own -- at 7 PM. That means that from 4 AM until 7 PM, I received no email.
    However, I knew I missed some messages.  It's now the NEXT MORNING and those missed messages still have NOT arrived.  I has hoping they were in a queue or something and would still be arriving.
    This is HORRIBLE.  Gosh only knows what I missed beyond the few that a couple friends told me about.
    If this happens one more time, I'll leave icloud.com's email.  This is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.  In all the years of having had MobileMe prior to iCloud email, nothing like this ever happened.

  • Blank messages in Apple Mail, only message header seen

    Blank messages in Apple Mail, only message header seen.
    But not all messages.. and not for mails from apple domain.
    I am using,
    1. OS X 10.6.8
    2. Mail Version 4.6 (1085)
    Tried all suggestions available in the web.
    Did not help..
    Any solution, thanks in advance.

    Nevermind, the problem fixed itself. I don't know what happened; I think I restarted my computer, and the problem was gone. Nevermind!

  • My apple mail flagged messages are not showing up in the flagged folder.

    my apple mail flagged messages not showing up in the flagged folder ?

    All messages finally appeared in "Sent" in Mail.app. But it sure took some time.
    Guess there is a severe lag time between .Mac and Mail.app?

  • Undeliverable mail - error message

    When I try to send mail, I get an Undeliverable mail error message/response. I don't know if it makes a difference if I select the me.com or mac.com as my outgoing server. I also work at a university, but I don't think that should be a problem since this just surfaced today. I've posted some additional technical details below. Has anyone else experienced this problem recently?
    Error message details:
    SMTP module(domain mac.com) reports:
    host smtp-mx2.mac.com says:
    550 5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias
    Reporting-MTA: dns; regor.[myuniversity].edu

    First of all test the other mail host. Do nslookup on the mx record for the domain. Maybe also check it from somewhere else on the internet to make sure your dns server doesnt still have an old entry cached. Once you know dns is going to the right server, try to telnet to port 25 on that server to see if you can connect to the other mail server and get a header back. If you want you could go a step further and send a message via command line but not usually necessary.
    If that server seems fine, look at your own mail server. Check dns, delivery to other addresses etc..

  • Cant sign in with apple id - error message "apple id couldnt be created because of a server error"

  • Apple Mail delets messages on the Server POP3

    Apple Mail delets messages on the Server Method: POP3. I use the preference to delete message if they where transfered out of the incoming box.
    Since 10.6 this seems not longer to work, what is going wrong?
    System: 10.6.4

    Hi there. This feature should work, as I have 10.6.4 and use it personally. Note that once a message is deleted from POP mail cannot put it back, so this setting once checked only applies to new messages.
    Make sure you look at the options about removing the message from the server when it's removed from the trash or after xx days.
    If these are set correctly, you may find luck in unchecking the box for leaving the messages on the server and then rechecking it.
    Lastly, you could try deleting the mail account and recreating it.

  • Apple Mail opens messages before log in

    When I launch Apple Mail, several message windows open with message contents displayed; this is before I log in to the mail server. How can I make sure Mail waits for me to log in before it opens any message windows?
    Thanks!

    I think you mentioned some widget you downloaded that introduced a NEW button ?? That's what makes it normal for you, I fear.
    Try this workaround:
    select the first message in your Inbox list
    Employ whatever means to mark it UNread with your preferred method,
    THEN ⇧ Shift + Down arrow key to just above the Subject title you wish to read
    THEN, Down arrow key or click the next in the list ("Locator for authorized repair/ ..." in my example)
    VOILA!!
    Repeat as necessary

  • Yahoo/Apple mail CONSTANT server errors!

    I've had my iPhone now for a few months and at least one time a day I keep getting the following message when checking for new mail with Yahoo: "CANNOT GET MAIL...the connection to the server "imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com" failed.
    Usually if I try it a second time it goes through. However tonight (actually all day Saturday/Saturday night), I have not been able to retrieve any mail as I have gotten the same error message for the past 24 hours. What is the deal with this?

    How do you know it's a Yahoo problem? Couldn't it be an Apple problem as well?
    Common sense, for one reason.
    A connection to the server failed error message when an email account is checked for new messages is usually a problem at the server - a very high percentage of the time.
    A process of elimination for another reason.
    If you are accessing another email account with the iPhone's Mail client, and no such problem with the other account or accounts, BINGO!
    If your connection to the internet is working otherwise, this is another BINGO but not as significant as the first.
    News reports for another.
    http://www.news.com/8301-10784_3-9909639-7.html
    And last but not least, a large number of posts here from time to time reporting problems with a free Yahoo account, including copies of email correspondence from Yahoo technical support personnel admitting the problem lies with Yahoo, and we are working on it - blah, blah.

  • Attaching photos to Apple Mail - error when attaching multiple files

    Hello,
    My iPhoto just recently started giving me an error whenever I try to attach multiple files to Apple Mail. The error says:
    "Mail got an error: Can't get paragraph 8 of
    content of outgoing message id 321072192.
    Invalid index."
    The only option allowed is to cancel. When I look at my Apple Mail it has created a message with the first selected photo attached, but none of the other photos are there. Any ideas of how to correct this? Is this an email client issue?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    This is a problem between iPhoto 4 and 10.5.
    The workaround is to use the Photo Browser on the new Message Window in Mail, just drag the pic over from there:

    Welcome to the forums Oliver... good work at narrowing the problem down so far!
    Try dragging this file to the Desktop and reboot...
    /Users/nnnn/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
    Might also pay to clean caches, I use Applejack, but there are many. The log makes me think cache especially.

  • What does it all mean?  Help! Mail error message!

    The mailbox “~/Library/Mail/[email protected]/Sent Messages.mbox” is currently locked by “(null)” on host “c-24-20-121-133.hsd1.or.comcast.net”. If you open a mailbox that already is in use, you may damage its contents.
    What does it all mean? It's just started popping up every once in while and I can't decipher it.........

    OK. This is going to be a tough one.
    First of all, even if you don't understand what the error message says, you can see that it refers to a mailbox called Sent Messages.mbox that's located in ~/Library/Mail/[email protected]/, so my question was whether you had similar problems with other mailboxes besides Sent.
    Second, that mailbox is used by Apple Mail, you posted in a forum dedicated to discuss Apple's Address Book & Mail issues, and everything seems to indicate that you were actually using Apple Mail when you encountered the problem. So what does Outlook Express have to do with all of this?
