Yahoo! IMAP Settings

I have Yahoo! mail set up on my iPhone and it is working flawlessly. Changes I make on my iPhone are almost instantly reflected online, and visa-versa.
I would, however, like to add a third spoke to this wheel by making Yahoo! also work with Mail.app on my mac. Can ANYONE track down the settings I need to set this up?
Maybe this isn't possible with Yahoo? Do I have to use .Mac?
Thanks for your help!

SMTP offline when adding Yahoo IMAP settings in Mail. Ports are correct as is password. Suggestions as to the problem?

SMTP "offline" indicated under Mail/Preferences/Accounts for Yahoo IMAP, when adding Yahoo IMAP settings in Mail. Ports are correct as is password. Suggestions as to the problem? Latest OS with patches...
I can log into Yahoo via URL, so Mail should work as well.

Nope, no correlation between them (other than password)

Yahoo IMAP Settings for Outlook 2010 on Windows 7

Hi Guys,
I have been trying to get IMAP for Yahoo for Outlook 2010 on Windows 7 to work for a while now. I was just wondering if someone out there has gotten it to work.
Settings are Manually Configured.
Settings:
Account Type: IMAP
Incoming mail server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing mail server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
"Save My Password" Checkbox: Checked
Internet E-mail Settings #1:
Incoming server (IMAP): 143
Encryption Level: none
Outgoing server (SMTP): 465
Encryption Level: SSL
Server Timeout: 1 minute
Result: Continuous prompt for Username and Password when testing account settings until it fails to connect. However SMTP test email is sent.
So the only issue seems to be incoming.
Internet E-mail Settings #2:
Incoming server (IMAP): 993
Encryption Level: SSL
Outgoing server (IMAP): 465
Encryption Level: SSL
Server Timeout: 1 minute
Result: Error result is as follows "Log onto incoming mail server (IMAP): a secure connection to the server cannot be established." However SMTP test email is sent. So the only issue seems to be incoming.
I tried IMAP with gmail on 2 computers with the same environment (1 x 64bit and 1 x 32bit Windows 7 w Outlook 2010) and it seems to be fine so I dont believe it is any router/firewall issues. I have a Windows Mobile phone and it is working also. Of course most of the settings on the phone are configured automatically. If anyone could provide any suggestions, that would be great. Thanks in advance.

Hi
Thanks for sharing information. I was using same setting for Incoming but Outgoing has different settings.
I use outlook 2010 with a paid account and these settings work perfectly.
My Outgoing mail setting (While getting issue)
smtp.mail.yahoo.com
SSL: True
Port: 465
When i have above setting in my Outgoing mail i was getting error
Failed to update headers
account [email protected]
Protocol: IMAP
Server : 192.168.253.4
Port : 143
After changing from above setting to below mentioned setting i didn't get any issue while sending & receiving mail or changing folder.
Outgoing
smtp.mail.yahoo.com
SSL: False]
Port: 587
Outgoing server requires authentication:Checked
So thank you for sharing connection information.

Yahoo IMAP support ... sneaky!

I found several references to IMAP support by Yahoo about a year ago (imap.next.mail.yahoo.com, imap.mail.yahoo.com) that worked for a while and then stopped, presumably because of the resources required to support that protocol on top of pop. Then, with their offer of IMAP access to even free Yahoo acounts because of Apple, I read somewhere the new server was imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com. Problem is, it only works IF you use the Yahoo configuration option in Mail settings. If you use a regular IMAP configuration option, it does not work. (Why would I want to use Other? Because I dont want the @yahoo.com as the reply-to address).
So, it seems that behind the scenes, the iPhone is configuring to the correct (and unknown to us) Yahoo IMAP server OR it is embedding some sort of prefix/suffix to our IDs that authorize it to log on to the Yahoo IMAP server ONLY if you use the iPhone configuration tool. I am speculating. Any thoughts?

Someone who has an iPhone should connect it to a WiFi network on which is a computer running an Ethernet Packet sniffer, and then capture a connection from the iPhone to Yahoo mail.
For ordinary POP3 and SMTP access Yahoo use SSL versions, the IMAP SSL port is normally 993 but they could be using a non-standard port. They could also be doing something strange to the authentication, e.g. using MD5 instead of just password or something else like adding additional text to the password e.g. it sends apple.password instead of password, again a packet sniffer like Ethereal might reveal this.
Unfortunately the iPhone is not yet available in the UK so I cannot do this testing myself.
Google should wake up and add push IMAP support themselves, fancy letting Yahoo grab all the glory.

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.

Yahoo IMAP set up

I know this is being discussed in various forms throughout the Forum, but I can't find an answer to the most basic question of all: How do i set up my Yahoo! accounts with IMAP instead of POP? I have two accounts, a yahoo.com account and a small business account with myowndomain.com. I cannot find any IMAP option either through Yahoo's settings or through my iPhone's settings. Anyone know the basics of setting this up?

stubbeelo,
If you use the Y!Mail preconfigured option it will use IMAP.
If you configure it manually it will use POP3.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

IMAP settings

Should I change my IMAP email settings?
Verizon just emailed me with new settings to improve security:
Incoming mail server settings
POP server: incoming.yahoo.verizon.net
Use SSL
Port: 995
Outgoing mail server SMTP settings
SMTP server: outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net
Use SSL
Port: 465
But these are POP settings. I use IMAP settings, as follows.
In: imap.mail.yahoo.com - port 993
Out: smtp.mail.yahoo.com - port 465
These settings work great for IMAP. Should I change 993 to 995 and keep the same IMAP server? Or is there a Yahoo-Verizon IMAP server that I don't know about?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Continue using your current setting. If you start having trouble accessing your email account, please switch to the POP settings.

Sent items on yahoo Imap not synchronising with sent items on yahoo mail outlook 2011

I had a problem where the my yahoo imap which I set up with Outlook 2011 was not synchronizing with Yahoo from the web.
I found the solution today by switching from Sent items( Server) to Sent( Server).
1. Go to tools
2. Accounts
3.Advance options
4. Folders
5. Then you will see sent. Drop down the window and you will see what I have shown in the screen shot below.
It worked for me and now all my emails are synchronising very well.

the last sentence should read...."this folder do however only have the sent emails that was sent from my imac, and not the emails that was sent from my ipad".
I want all my sent items on all my devices the same, in other words the should come from the server and not the specific device I'm using

Does Mail automatically seek IMAP settings?

Does Mail automatically seek IMAP settings over POP?
I'm having ongoing probs with IMAP with Sky and it's Google inspired webmail and I have tried the POP settings but nothing happens, just get the ~ next to the account.
I have asked Sky why their POP settings dont work [waiting for a reply] but every time I have created a new account Mail seems to seek the IMAP options first.
If Mail does default to IMAP, is there a way that I can create a new account and me tell it which type of account to define?

Basically I want to do the reverse of what is discussed here.

How to configure Yahoo IMAP with ATT.Yahoo service

I'm hearing about using Yahoo IMAP push server, but can find no such option about configuring my current ATT.Yahoo service for anything but POP/SMTP. Where should I be looking? Thanks

I could find this info nowhere so hopefully this will help someone with the same problem I was having.
In case anyone with an ATT.YAHOO account formerly SBC, or Pacbell, etc. You have to manually set up an IMAP account. So if your e-mail address is "[email protected]", you would Add an account, choose Yahoo Y! Mail and enter your [email protected] address and your ATT.YAHOO POP password. It will confirm the account and you will now have IMAP Push e-mail on your ATT account. But your ATT.Yahoo account (as far as I can tell) must remain a standard POP account on OS X Mail on your Mac. So you don't want to synch your iPhone ATT.Yahoo Mail accounts.

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 imap mail

I have been successfully using Yahoo imap mail within Mac Mail for years, but now it won't work. What's changed? How can I use Yahoo mail in my mail program??

Hello Ahji,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that your Yahoo! email is not working as expected in Mail on your Mac. To begin troubleshooting, I would suggest reading over and working through the suggested steps in the attached article.

Lion Mail Yahoo IMAP Sync Inconsistent

Observed behavior: Mail is syncing with Yahoo IMAP every five minutes, but when I delete or mark messages as read from the Yahoo website, iPhone or any other device, the Mail app will not reflect these changes even after the auto or manul sync. In order to force Mail to sync accurately, I have to take the account offline and then switch it back online. Then, Mail syncs correctly.
If I force the re-sync WITHOUT first taking the account offline, the sync is not accurate. Even if new messages appear in the mailbox, the other deleted and marked-read messages are not accurately reflected in the sync. Again, the only way to make it accurate is to take offline and bring back online. Of course, if I restart Mail, this also resolves the issue. Restarting Mail is the same thing as far as the Yahoo IMAP server is concerned.
This problem is easily reproducible. I have tried a number of remedies.
1. I deleted the original Yahoo IMAP account and added a new Yahoo IMAP account with a new name multiple times. No change.
2. I restarted my Mac to see if this helps. Other than the temporary effect of restarting Mail, this does not change a thing.
3. I have looked on the Yahoo site, and well... Here I am.
4. I also looked on Gmail site, almost more helpful.
5. Finally, I looked on the Apple Support Communities but cannot find an answer.
So, let's see if there are others having the same issue and maybe there is a solution somewhere.
Thank you.

This is definitely not Yahoo-specific, nor is it new. Definitely seems to be a bug in Mail.app. This has been happening at least since 10.5 (am now on 10.8.2), and I have a GoDaddy hosted IMAP account.
Same symptoms...I delete emails on my Mac in Mail.app. I've gotten into the habit of forcing a manual sync. The emails disappear from the Mac, but several minutes or sometimes many minutes later, if I look on my iPhone or iPad, the messages have not been deleted. If I subsequently go look on my Mac, or at the server through a webmail browser - they're back.
However, if I delete the emails from my iPhone or iPad - they really do get deleted.
As stated up above - quitting and reopening Mail.app can force a real sync that gets things going back in sync...it seems like maybe Mail.app somehow forgets to actually sync...so when this starts happening - i.e. I notice deleted emails still appear on my iPad - if I quit mail and reopen it, it also shows the previously deleted email. So the symptoms seem like there is a "cache" of actions (deletes) in Mail.app that is not getting processed to the server. When you quit, this list seems to get flushed and whatever is causing Mail.app not to sync to the server gets remedied and on restart, the not-deleted emails show up because Mail.app now syncs with the server. Occasionally it seems Mail.app somehow can come out of this without being restarted...I'm not sure if that happens when it's "kicked" by some other event, e.g. an incoming message, to sync.
Extremely annoying.

Unable to connect on email yahoo Imap?

All passwords are correct, and I have been into Apple today, and whilst it seemed to pick up emails in the shop. Once home it hasn't.
We deleted the btinternet.com email in Apple serveral times, and Added account, eventully it worked...strange, but it did work.
But once at home it didn't!
I have Ipad and iphone and can pick up emails on these, but these are both POP accounts.
Everytime I add my email account, it becomes Yahoo Imap....and think this is what is causing the problem.
I can't even set up the account to a POP, because everytime I start the "add account "it automically becomes an Imap account on my Macbook Pro.
(all software is upto date)
Please can someone give me some advice and help.
Would adding apple.imap.yahoo.com help on the outgoing and incoming server?
thanks in anticaption, that someone can help.

Re: Yahoo IMAP server - Rejected Password
Apr 16, 2013 1:49 AM (in response to Renesisdriver)
For BT users I think I have a workaround (that may work for all clients). Not my ideas but a combination of suggestions given by other users.
A combination of the following seems to have worked for me.
Go to "Spotlight" on your Mac, top right corner. Type "keychain access". When the pop up screen appears, make sure in the left column you have both the following tabs selected. "Login" & "passwords". From there look through the list in the columns you have and delete EVERY mention of "yahoo" i.e. "smpt.mail.yahoo.com". Basically, if you see a line with Yahoo in it, then get rid of it.
Go to your Yahoo email account on your browser, before you login deselect the tick boxthat asks you if you want to stay signed in. After logging in, log out.
Go to "Mail" on your Mac and open up the prefernce pane. Go to accounts and channge the servers for your BT Yahoo email accounts to the following.
Use:
Incoming Server - apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing Server - apple.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
4. Restart "Mail". On some of my yahoo email accounts this worked instantaneously for me. On others it took around 5 minutes for the account to start working again. 12 hours in and the problem seems to be gone.
Good Luck to all.
this worked for me, thank-you

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
