Yahoo IMAP and OS 10.5 mail setup

Has anyone figured out how to make Mail in OS 10.5 work with Yahoo IMAP mail? If so, any help would be appreciated.
Mike

Yahoo dropped the ball on this one, as did Apple. Moving to Mobile me so we'll see if that works.

Problem with Yahoo IMAP and Mail...

I'm having an issue with my Yahoo IMAP setup and mail on my desktop:
I have set up my yahoo email account with IMAP on both my iphone 4 and with mail on macbook pro. It has worked fine, all my folders are synced up on both devices and everything runs well except for one small problem. When I read an email on my Iphone, the mail program on my macbook pro never knows. Every day I come back to my computer, and all of my yahoo emails remain as "new" and "unread" even though I had checked all of them on my iphone. Its very weird because the opposite is not true - in other words - if I check a Yahoo email on my macbook pro, then my Iphone recognizes it and will show it is "read" as soon as I read it on macbook pro.
I also have an IMAP work email hosted by gator and a gmail account and I do not have this problem, its only on my yahoo account. I have tried the following settings:
Incoming server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Incoming server - apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing server - smtp.apple.mail.yahoo.com
I have set everything to ssl with ports 465 and 993. Still keep getting this same problem that my macbook pro does not recognize when emails have been read on my iphone (for only the yahoo account).
Anybody else having this problem or have any suggestions on how to fix??

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mobile/comms/mail/imap-01.html
To set up IMAP on your mobile device please use these settings:
Incoming Server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing Server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Incoming Port - 993 (requires SSL)
Outgoing Port - 465 (requires SSL/TLS)
Username: full email address (for example, [email protected] or [email protected])
Password: the password you login to Yahoo! with.
If you are having trouble setting up IMAP on your mobile device we recommend reviewing your phones instruction manual or contacting your mobile provider for support.
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78799
You can use the following information to configure IMAP with many mail clients. If you encounter difficulties, we suggest contacting your mail client's customer support department for further instructions -- we're unable to provide assistance with configuring mail clients not listed here.
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - requires SSL:     imap.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 993
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS:     smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes
Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)
Port: 465 or 587
Account Name:     your full email address (including @gmail.com) Google Apps users, please enter username@your_domain.com
Email Address:     your full Gmail email address ([email protected]) Google Apps users, please enter username@your_domain.com
Password:     your Gmail password
Please note that if your client does not support SMTP3 authentication, you won't be able to send mail through your client using your Gmail address.
Also, if you're having trouble sending mail but you've confirmed that encryption is active for SMTP in your mail client, try to configure your SMTP server on a different port: 465 or 587.

Difference between IMAP and "Exchange" account in mail?

Hi,
I'm using a Hosted Exchange 2007 account with Entourage 2004 actually. Now I want to try using Mail as an alternative application. As the server offers IMAP I could setup a new IMAP account in Mail and receive my Mails from Exchange. But Mail offers an "Exchange" account additionally. Can anyone explain me the difference between theese two Mail accounts? Is one better, faster or whatever?
Best regards,
Heiko

Exchange uses a proprietary mail exchange protocol, while imap is standard. You can use a lot of different mail clients on different platforms with imap, and you don't have to worry about synchronization or conflicts since its server based. When you establish an imap connection, though, you stay connected to the server, so it's a relatively high resource user. Exchange is more verbose, and although its fundamentally server based using different exchange clients from different places doesn't synchronize well. Exchange will also update your outlook calendar, while imap will not. If it's just for mail, I vastly prefer imap.

Forgot username and password for e-mail setup

Help!
i can't seem to have forgotten the username and password for e-mail set up. after i created the initial setup i never logged into the e-mail setup app. i can receive my e-mails now on my blackberry, but after the first set up i can't seem to access it. the username and password seem to be incorrect. how do i retrieve this info using my e-mail address alone.
thanks ahead.

You'll need to call your service provider and ask them reset or delete your BIS account and add it back, and then you'll simply start anew, and this time, remember your username and password.
Good luck.

IMAP giving error in notification mailer setup.

Name : Workflow Notification Mailer
Outbound EMail Account (SMTP)
* Server Name = exsrv.domainname
Inbound EMail Account (IMAP)
Inbound Processing = checked
Server Name = exsrv.domainname
Username = testmailer
Password = ********
Reply-To Address = testmailer@domainname
IN THE ABOVE SETTINGS SMTP IS SUCCESSFUL BUT IMAP IS GIVING ERROR 'UNABLE TO MAKE NETWORK CONNECTION'.
I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS PLEASE,
WHY THIS ERROR APPEARING?
WHAT IS THE USE OF IMAP? CAN THE NOTIFICATION MAILER BE CONFIGURED ONLY BY SMTP SETTINGS?
PLEASE ADVICE.

Sami,
Please refer the extract from the ML doc
*[Workflow Mailer Notification: IMAP is not processing inbound messages|https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=371730.1]*
When ever a leave request is created and submitted ,an e-mail notification is sent to the
preparer and approver, When the mail notification is actioned by the approver like Approving the leave request >or rejecting That means a outbound process is what as name suggest whenever any notification is send to the user from the application and inbound is the reply/action which is received back in the application.
What will happen if I don't set the IMAP for inbound processing?You simply won't get the replies/action summary from the users.
Thanks,
Anchorage :)

How do I set up Apple Mail with Yahoo (IMAP) so I can delete mail on my iphone but leave it on the server and iMac.

I am trying to maintain my inbox on my imac while not carrying around all my mail on my iphone. As of now, I only seem to be able to sync the inboxes. If I delete a mail on my iphone, it disappears on both the server and imac. I only seem to be able to make it move the mail to the deleted mail box and keep it there.

That's the way IMAP servers work. The messages really live on the server; the iPhone and the iMac just view them.

How to enable logging of IMAP and SMTP connections in Mail

I have set up my own mail server and am able to send and receive mail. However, I would like to enable SSL security for connections from the client application to the mail server. I have created certificate authority, created a root certificate, and created an SSL certificate and key for the server. However, every time I connect, I get a warning message that the certificate is not valid - but the host names and domain names are correct in the certificate and match in the error message. It appears that there is some other problem with the certificate that is not reported in the dialog.
I would like to turn on logging in Mail.app to try to find out what is happening as the connection is made and TLS is enabled to find out why the certificate is being rejected. What options exist for logging SMTP and IMAP connections in mail? How can I find the logging options - should I look for strings in the binary or a resource file?

You cannot log only those changes but you can log *all* changes.
The messages 111008 and 111010 are the ones to look for (as described in this post).

Imap and yahoo with mac mail

I access my Yahoo using Mac Mail. It is set as imap and set for store sent messages on server.
The problem is this:- when I reply to an email I have received the sent message is appended to the incoming email (on the Mac) and is shown on Mac Mail.
If I send an email from scratch it goes into the sent box on the Mac.
The sent emails do not appear when I access Yahoo using a web browser so why is it not saving the sent messages on the server OR have I got imap totally wrong?
thank you,
Gordies

Last I knew Yahoo did not offer IMAP mail except only on the iPhone and to access your account via POP, you needed to pay for the service.

Yahoo and outlook mail setups on mac mail

how to setup yahoo and outlook mails on mac mail?

Yahoo is a mail system, Outlook is a mail client, so what email system are you using in Outlook?
To set up Yahoo go to Apple>System Preferences>Mail Contacts and Calendars> select Yahoo and follow the prompts ...
Answer the question regarding Outlook and I'll tell you how to do that as well.

Mail Setup Fails- Pop, Exchange and Imap- Desktop Mail works fine

I dont know whats going on with this iphone. I cannot configure mail to connect to any of the connection styles. We use exchange. owa, pop and imap are enabled. Desktop mail client connects fine to POP and Exchange.
I double checked all the settings. No luck. I get an error saying the server is not responding. I've tried the ip address as well.
On a whim, i disabled FBA on the exchange server. no luck.
Security setting were checked. Password was authentication method. Just like the desktop.
We are using exchange 2003. Anyone have any info to share.

Rebooting the Mac fixed the problem. I have no idea why. Still unable to locate the mail ssl certificates.

Yahoo IMAP via Mail.app

Has anyone got this to work, I read on this forum that the yahoo imap server used by the iPhone is imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com, just wondered if anyone knew the port and if anyone had been able to get mail.app talking to the yahoo IMAP server. Would be great to have the mac and iPhone alking to the same IMAP server.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
Jonathan

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.

** Yahoo Mail setup not working! **

Just purchased a brand new iPad, but am unable to setup Yahoo Mail on the iPad's Mail application.
I am setting it up directly through the iPad - not via sync.
I keep getting an error that the username or password is incorrect after choosing the Yahoo Mail option, and entering the information, and waiting for it to authenticate. The message i get is: "username or password is incorect from "imap.apple.yahoo.mail.com"
the username and password are both correct: i am able to access yahoo webmail using both my regular mac safari browser, and the safari browser on the iPad itself, without a problem.
I tried deleting the account and re-setting it up several times, using the yahoo mail option. i get the same result
I even reset the password to one that did not have capital letters, in case there was a case sensitivity issue.
It is a "free" yahoo account (as opposed to yahoo plus), but my understanding is that this should not be an issue.
very frustrating to spend $900 for this device, and not even have basic email functionality... this was the primary reason i bought the device.
Any help or suggestions are very much appreciated.

hey, if you read up a few posts... i was able to resolve my problem with yahoo mail:
<<<after further research, it turns out that there are in fact periodic problems on Yahoo's end that cause this error creating a Yahoo mail account on a new iPad. While several repeated attempts to create the account failed at the time, i tried again a day later and it was successful. So problem solved.>>>
It appears that many people have had this problem with Yahoo. It must happen from time to time, something with the servers on yahoo's end. the error they give you isnt very helpful in figuring it out.
I suggest you wait a day, delete the account you tried to create... and recreate it not manually but using the built in mail setup, choosing yahoo mail. Keep trying until it works, because it appears the problem is on yahoo's end not yours.
Oh and whatever you do, don't let anyone tell you (especially yahoo) that the reason is because you don't have a paid yahoo account and yours is a free email account. My free yahoo account, and many others, all work just fine.
Hope this helps, let us know that you were able to make it work. Obviously this is a rather widespread problem that either yahoo or apple should address.

Mail: unable to connect to my SMPT server? Also new Mail Account defaults to iMap and won't let me change to Pop?

Dear All,
I've been with the same UK internet and email provider for years and they've given me solid and reliable service. I've worked my way through the Apple Knowledgebase checklist and tests and proved that my isp/esp is working normally so the problem has to be with Mail.
I fiddled about trying to create a Mail Account on my late 2011 but-new-to-me MacBook Pro a couple of days ago and, it might be completely unrelated and simply a coincidence, but since then none of my devices, Iphone 4S, Powerbook G4, iPhone 3G, the MBPro can send email using Mail.
Whenever I try I get prompted for my password but when I enter it says it's wrong but it definitely isn't because I even changed it this morning through my isp/esp and it worked and I then changed it back again to my correct password and it works also to get into webmail that is, not via Mail.
When I run Mail\Window\Connection Doctor and check the status it shows Mail is unable to connect to server but that it can connect to the internet. I get the following message: Trying to log in to SMPT account failed. Try to verify that username and password are correct.
Now, whenever I try to create a new email account on MacBook Pro Mail keeps defaulting to iMap and wont let me change it to Pop which is what I need.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Dear All,
I'll finish off this thread in case it's of use to anyone else in the future.
I couldn't get the email pop account to recognise my sign-in even though I've been using it continually and without problem for the last several years. It's always been BT and Yahoo so it's more likely to be the fiddle about I did on my temporary, pre migration user account that caused the hiccup.
In th end I had to create another pop account which I was able to once I'd migrated my settings from my PB G4 to the MB Pro. Unfortunately this didn't merge the numerous email folders that I'd created previously in Mail but I still have them on the PB and I believe they can be transferred manually which is what I will do.
Thanks for everyone that took the time to help.

I am using a Macbook Air mid 2012 and an apple application "Mail". With only one email account (Yahoo), everything works perfectly. But the problem started when I added GMAIL account. Now it keeps on asking for my password for gmail and keychain.

With only Yahoo account in my Macbook Air "Mail", everything works perfectly. Problem started when I added my Gmail account. It keeps on asking my account and keychain passwords. And all my accounts always works offline.

It sounds like you may need to go into Mail>Preferences>Accounts and Complete setting up you Gmail account. It may not be finished being setup. For instance, note the line below to be selected from the drop down list in "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP", then "Edit SMTP Server List":
Hope this helps
