Yahoo email client unable to verify

Following endless requests to reset password I deleted my BT POP account from MacBook Pro. Now trying to setup the account again in Mac Mail client and continually get error:
unable to verify account name and password
Just to underline the absurdity of this error, I currently have access to BT mail via Webmail in Safari (obviously no problem with my account name and password there) also on an iPad and BlackBerry and a Mac Pro in my studio.
Any ideas gratefully received

Make sure you have entered the correct settings. They are........
Server    mail.btinternet.com (incoming and outgoing)
User name  full btinternet address  i.e  [email protected]
Incoming port for POP3  995
Outgoing SMTP port 465
SSL enabled
Server requires authentication ticked (or whatever the equivalent setting is in Mac Mail)
Password  plain text (or whatever the equivalent setting is in Mac Mail)
Set the account up manually rather than automatically

  • Yahoo email client

    Does Yahoo email client support background-color on the <body> tag? Only my client reports the background is White
    <body style="background-color: #999;">
    I know all email clients differ - just need to confirm if it does or doesnt. Anyone any experience of getting a background color to show in Yahoo email?

    It does, but I don't remember if it recognizes the shorthand.  As a rule I only use full hex codes whenever I do emails.  But if you want a good reference for what tags are good, the guys at Campaign Monitor have an excellent guide:

    Ok Snake, I'll certainly use the full hex declaration from now. Looks like background-color is supported according to the link but on what elements it doesnt really give much details.

  • Email client unable to connect?

    Just in the past couple of days I have been unable to connect to my Gmail and Yahoo email accounts through the email client. I had no problem last week with this and I have neurotically checked the setup information for each email account.
    The error I am getting is this: "Unable to connect to server, please try again." 
    And so I do, but with no such luck.
    I am able to connect to WiFi without any problem (I am using my PlayBook to type this out right now).
    Anyone know how to amend this problem?

    Hi, eillo, and welcome to the Forums!
    Me, too!  My Gmail account remains stable, however I am tired of having to constantly re-input my Yahoo password. 
    The Gmail issue is addressed in this thread:  http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-PlayBook/Playbook-2-0-cannot-connect-to-Gmail/td-p...
    I found some information about the Yahoo e-mail issue in this thread: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-PlayBook/Google-Apps-and-Yahoo-Mail/td-p/1579171/p...
    Unfortunately, trying to address issues with two different e-mail systems in the same thread is confusing.  I came across your thread while researching the Yahoo issue.  If I can't find another thread related specifically to the Yahoo issue, I intend to start a new thread.

  • Left-clicking on a text link in the Yahoo email client under FF10 does nothing.

    Right-clicking and selecting "Open link in new tab" or "Open link in new window" does work. Viewing the same email message in IE6 also works. I suspect the Yahoo mail client, since it has been doing a strange thing every now and then, but I do not remember this happening under FF9...

    at the end of setting up exchange email the message states: unable to verify account information

    Hi Guys,
    I got exchange mail working. It seems issue is around "Push". I enabled "push", account verified & all worked well. After that I disabled push (I do not want it & to save mobile data use).
    By googling, I found many have got it up & apple may fix it in it next iOS udpate.

  • Lync 2010 Client unable to verify certificate - External access

    we have recently setup Lync 2013 and it is working fine internally.  I am now trying to setup external access. We only require the remote users to be able to use their client externally without VPN.  
    I have setup the edge server with 1 NAT'd public ip address and FQDN option. So the 3 services are using the same IP but different port(as shown below).  
    access access.domain.com port 5061
    webconf access.domain.com port 444
    A/V access.domain.com port 443
    I used our internal CA to issue internal and external certificates and then added the Internal CA as a trusted root CA on the machine with the client trying to connect externally.
    I have published the following records to external dns:
    _sip_tls.domain.com which points to access.domain.com
    access.domain.com points to the public ip on the firewall
    I expected at this point that I would be able to login. Auto configuration times out externally.  If I manually set the external server name to "access.domain.com" and try to sign in it says "there was a problem verifying the certificate
    from the server".  
    the logs on the client says: 
    SECURE_SOCKET: negotiation failed: 80090322, principal name: [access.domain.com]
    Also I can see the traffic going from my external client to the firewall to the edge server.
    I understand that the external certificate on the edge should be through a public CA but we won't be using any of federation options so my internal CA cert should work for logging in through the client?  What am i missing? 
    Let me know if i can provide more info.
    Thanks!

  • Using a Mac and gmail, comcast & yahoo email clients. When I rcv links in my emails and I try to load them, they don't load into Firefox. I have to copy the link and paste it directly into the browser to activate it. Anybody have this same problem?

  • TS3510 I only have one apple ID and facetime has worked with it before, but now I get the message "Unable to verify email because it is already in use". I have looked ofr a solution but can't find one. can anyone help please?

    I only have one apple ID and facetime has worked with it before, but now I get the message "Unable to verify email because it is already in use". I have looked ofr a solution but can't find one. can anyone help please?

    I spoke with Apple Support this morning and they believe anything MobileMe related is due to the conversion over to iCloud that's taking place.
    As for other email clients, check with your host to see if settings have changed on their end. I use inmotionhosting.com and over the weekend the updated their outgoing requirements so that a password authentication is now needed.
    Hope that helps get some on the right path to resolving their issues!

  • (UK) BT Yahoo email - attempting IMAP - mail cannot verify

    Hi all - hoping you can help.
    I have email with BT Yahoo and it IMAPs fine between iPad, iPhone and browser but not with the Mac OS email client.
    I nosed around on google and found this -
    type: IMAP
    incoming server: imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com
    user name: full email adress (i.e [email protected])
    Imap path prefix: (i.e no prefix)
    port: 993
    ssl: on
    outgoing mail server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=325139
    At last IMAP with BTYahoo - but it's now telling me that
    'mail can't verify the identity of "imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com' and that it could put my confidential information at risk.
    Any ideas - should I continue with this? I would love BTYahoo IMAP (it's my main account) but have no desire to be my e-security at risk.
    Any advice - much appreciated,
    Darren - Lockerbie - Scotland

    I pay something like £1.52 a month for this email - I have no idea why...
    something to do with when I moved house, closed down my btbroadband etc
    but this appears to work!
    thanks!

  • I'm unable to access my yahoo email account using updated firefox browser, i keep getting error page when I use the mail link on yahoo pages

    Since updating Firefox browser, i am unable to gain access to my yahoo email account. I can access the email with Interent Explorer with no trouble. Whenever I click on a mail link on the yahoo sites to check my mail, I get rerouted to an error page ..... "Sorry, we can't find "ca.mg4.mail.yahoo.com/dc/launch?.gx=1". Please check the spelling of the web address." is what is said at top of page whenever I click on any mail links.

    This is how I fixed it on my new iPhone 5S. Using the standard yahoo setting on my phone.
    You will have to access  "managing your app passwords" on your account profile for yahoo. Generate password for your app. For example: "My iPhone 5S'
    Go to your Iphone and set up your yahoo mail account on your phone the normal way and you have to use the generated password.  instead of the yahoo account password.

  • How to verify my account using my yahoo email? and how to open my apple id in what mail in iphone 4?

    how to verify my account using my yahoo email? and how to open my apple id in what mail in iphone 4?

    Hi stanlaw,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The information below should help you with this.
    Associating and verifying email addresses with your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HE68
    How to verify the primary email address for your Apple ID
    When you first create an Apple ID (using your email address) a verification email will be sent to that address. If you sign in to your Apple ID from the link in that email, the email address will be verified as the primary email address for your Apple ID. You can also resend the email verification if the email address is not verified:
    1. Sign in to My Apple ID to manage your account information.
    2. Click Resend under Primary Email Address.
    3. Verify your changes by following the link in the email you will receive from Apple and signing back in to your account.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Happy Holidays!

  • Unable to set Outlook as Email Client in PSE10

    Am running PSE10, fully patched and updated, on Win 7.  My default email client on the machine is Outlook, not sure if it's 2010 or 2013 (Microsoft has made it remarkably difficult to find out this simple fact - Help/About apparently no longer works that way...) but I think it's 2013.  Outlook works fine for all normal uses.  I beleive Outlook was installed after PSE10.
    I recently had my first opportunity to use the Sharing options, and discovered the program simply crashes when I attempt to do a Photo Mail - which I've done often in the past with other versions of PSE but not so much with 10. 
    In the PSE10 preferences, I've discovered the only option for Email clients appears to be Adobe Email Service - Outlook is not listed.  There is no "refresh list" option.
    Searching the web and forums points to http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/freeze-or-error-no-email.html, which seems to provide a solution involving a registry hack, if one wants to use Windows Live Mail.  Apparently Win 7 does not store a default email client where PSE10 is expecting to find it.  I have no problem with registry changes, however I don't want Windows Live Mail.  I have Outlook, I'd like to use Outlook.
    I would think there would be some similar registry hack for Outlook, however I have not been able to find it.  I could probably work it out by looking at the keys entered in this hack and trial and error, but would prefer to just know what works and do that...
    Is there some fix I can apply for this?  The machine I use has other logins, will I need to apply that fix to these additional logins separately as well?
    Thanks,
    Todd

    OK..
    Tried downloading the reg hack for Windows Live and modifying it to change the path to Outlook (as recommended by Brett above), no luck.   Verified that it installed the key properly, also verified that the path I gave it will open Outlook 2013 (ran on the command line), however it did not change the behavior - still no way to select Outlook in the PSE10 preferences.  Rebooted, no change.
    Tried the solution recommended in the Microsoft KB article at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/813745 (from the PSE forum posting here - http://forums.adobe.com/message/5117353#5117353). 
    First ran the "fix it for me" - which stopped when it realized I did not have a supported version of Outlook (apparently it's only good to Outlook 2010), warned me, and dropped out.
    Ran the manual fix process.  When I get to the "repair outlook" portion there is another repair option not mentioned in this - "online repair", which purports to be the most comprehensive fix (not the "quick fix", the other option.)  I ran the online repair, it failed "something went wrong" please try installing office again.
    Likely the manual fix I tried first broke office, so now I'm going to submit this and then restore my registry and reboot....
    Still no other email options in PSE10, though.
