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.

Mail - Yahoo IMAP sent mail not appearing

Hi all,
I've been trying to troubleshoot this without much success. I've an iphone and a MBP running Lion. I've several Yahoo and Gmail accounts, and they are all set up as IMAP accounts.
Receiving and viewing messages are fine. However, if I were to send an email using one of the Yahoo accounts via Mail on the MBP, it gets sent successfully, but that email does not appear within the 'server' sent mailbox, nor within my iPhone mail app. Gmail seems to work fine.
I've highlighted each relevant 'sent' mailbox on my mac and set it to 'Use this mailbox' within the Mailbox menu, but it has not made a difference.
Any ideas on how to resolve this?
Much appreciated.
Thanks!
Alvin

Sending is done via SMTP. What happened here is that SMTP accepted the mails for sending (thus, the mail client put them in the sent folder). From that moment on, SMTP needs to actually deliver mails to the recipient(s). Until this has happened, mails stay in the mail queue of your mail server.
You did not mention if the mails got eventually delivered, so here is a list of some possible reasons for late delivery or non-delivery:
-Receiving mail server does not respond
-Connectivity issues
-amavisd not running
-Mail got flagged as spam (non-delivery). This would happen if you are trying to send mail from a blacklisted IP (like dynamic IPs) and your mail server is not configured to bypass spam scans for authenticated users.

How to send html newsletter via Mail app

I want crystal and clear instruction as all the ones I have found either old fashioned and not relevant or skip that interesting part.
I have already done html page (newsletter). Now I want to transform it somehow and send via Mail app so my contacts could receive it as html newsletter. If I need to attach txt message please add it to the instruction. I need complete how to send html newsletter.

thanks. Now we've got to the most interesting part and intriguing one. Why should I upload html page to the server. I do understand uploading the images to server which will be used as links in my html mail. But why and how should I store that page in my server if I have CMS post instead from which I used pictures as links. SHould I create yet another type of post in CMS that is my html newsletter? That's not cool. What is the industry standard approach for that?
By the way Mail.app uses that baby design templates for your messages. Why don't we have an option to delete all these creepy childish templates and store solid bold corporate style templates for newsletters and send it somehow? Or will it just attach the images to the message then? If so then it is not what I want and it is really depressing.
The industry convention/"standard" is not to use html in email. Wheteher or not your html newsletter displays as you intended is at the mercy of the recipient and their email client settings.
If you want to preserve your html layout and styles, save your newsletter as a pdf document and attach the pdf document to your email. Or, as already suggested, use a web server to serve your html newsletter.

A different sort of problem with GMail IMAP on Mail.app (Tiger)

I setup my GMail account using IMAP under Mail.app (Tiger). At first it worked fine. But now it just hangs when I go to the Inbox. I get the clock or pie or whatever that is next to Inbox. In the Activity Monitor I see...
[[email protected]] Performing pended
Copying Message
[INBOX - [email protected]] Opening mailbox...
Opening mailbox...
I have let these sit for hours (we're talking over 12) and it gets nowhere. I have removed the account, deleted the associated files under ~/Library, recreated and it just comes back. I can use Thunderbird without any problems at all.
Any ideas what might have happened? I did uncheck saving drafts, trash, and junk on server as Google suggests.

Try this to determine the scope of the problem:
1. Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accounts and create a new user account for testing purposes.
2. Either log out of your main user account or just quit Mail so that it does not interfere with the other user account.
3. Log in as the newly created user and set up the Gmail IMAP account there.
4. Check whether the problem also happens when logged in as another user.
<hr>
Do you have any Mail plug-ins or system utilities that could interfere with Mail? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/StartupItems/
/Library/LaunchDaemons/
/Library/LaunchAgents/
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/Mail/Bundles/
~/Library/LaunchAgents/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
To make accurately reporting this information easier, you may open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>. You can then copy the output of that command from Terminal and paste it in your reply to this post:
ls -1 /Library/StartupItems /Library/LaunchDaemons /Library/LaunchAgents /Library/InputManagers /Library/Mail/Bundles ~/Library/LaunchAgents ~/Library/InputManagers ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

Yahoo discussions and mail.app ?

Hi,
So-- Here's the thing.. If I post a yahoo discussion on yahoo's web form, it shows up in my mail.app inbox (as I am part of the group).
However, if I post a yahoo discussion from Mail.app, I never see my message get sent to me-- though if I go to the discussions page on yahoo, the email is there. I am just wondering why this is and what solution there is to make it so that I always see my own post after I send it. Should I just cc myself? I wouldn't think that is necessary...

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.

Unable to setup Yahoo account in Mail.app.

Everything worked ok till a couple of days ago and now keep getting error messages saying unable to connect to server. This is the latest message.
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “yahoo.com.au” or try again.
The server returned the error: Mail was unable to log in to the IMAP server “imap.mail.yahoo.com” using “Password” authentication. Verify that your account settings are correct.
The settings are all correct!
The server returned the error: (#AUTH701) Service is not available; please try again later.
A pop up box also keeps appearing asking for password

That was the first thing I tried!. Despite several deletions and trying to reinstall, I still get the error messages. In the mail app all the accounts (google, hotmail and yahoo) show up but there is a little symbol next to yahoo. When you do a diagnosis the messages appear saying that Mail is unable to log into server. I think the problem must be with Yahoo because the other accounts work fine and so did Yahoo till 3 days ago.

Sending emails by Hotmail account via Mail app

Hi,
i just changed my old HTTPMail application on mail to continue to receive and send emails from my @hotmail.com account, as it was no longer functionning.
It's now configured, i receive emails correctly, but can't send any.
i configured it with the output adress smtp.live.com and checked the SSL box without specifiyng any username and pass, all that in the preferences of Mail app.
Is there any way to send email by Hotmail, or is there something in the POP/IMAP difference that i ain't gettin and make it impossible?
The "via Gmail" option wouldn't be one for me. i still wanna use hotmail.
thanks,
Phil

This could be an even simpler way to do it:

Draft emails not deleting after sending via Mail.app

When I compose an email a copy of that get auto saved in the Draft folder and should delete itself once I press send but that is not the case. After I press send I can see a copy in my Sent folder AND in the Draft folder. It only seems to happen with some emails that have attachments even with very small file sizes.
Has anyone else had this problem and is there a fix?
Email is my business and I can't have unpredictable behaviour like this. When I see the same message in my Draft and Sent folders its impossible to tell if it has actually been sent. I have to follow up with a phone call to verify receipt. Ridiculous!
Here are my relevant specs:
IMAP email service
OSX 10.6.8
Mail.app
If you have a fix, thanks in advance.

How to mail merge via Mail.app?

I would link to run a mail merge via Numbers (or Excel) through Mail.app just like I can to print media with Pages.
Any ideas?

I have searched high and low for the answer and it appears the mac is seriously missing this basic tool that nearly all businesses need nowdays. It's a real shame. Brand new macbook pro and macbook air for our sales people and whatnot and who would have thought we'd have to resort back to our old windows tools on the mac (microsoft office and outlook on OSX). If we'd have known there was a major hole in the basic tools we wouldnt have moved over.
Anyway, that was a bit "rantish" but if I can be more constructive I've had suggestions to pay someone to write applescript and automator code for me, purchase office and outlook for mac and that's about it. I can't find any custom apps (except for MaxBulk Mailer and RoBoPostman) but they're both very contained though I may have to give them a go soon if I can find no other solution. (EDIT: You can also use online tools like sendgrid and the like but I want my own on machine system where I don't pay per month etc)
Basically people are saying numbers and pages haven't been updated much at all in the last 3 years so that's why this problem has been persistent for so long. Others claim it's not a problem (they must use all their contact data in the address book rather than databases and/or spreadsheets). It is a real problem though (I'm ranting again sorry! )
IF you find a solution I'd LOVE to hear it. Our marketing efforts are suffering due to this.

Gmail taking ages to send email via mail app

I bought a MacBook air yesterday and set up my gmail account on the mail app. Everything seemed to be working okay at first but now it's takkng at least five minutes to send a plain text email, one email I tried sending last night didn't send until this morning! I tried changing the SSL port to 25, 465 and 587 not only do they not work but then it stops my mail from moving into the folders or trash, they move and then go back to my inbox.
Please help!

When I am in a hotel out of town or overseas- or just anywhere where I don't have my home ISP - how can I not only RECEIVE but also SEND eMail via my Mail program?
If your ISP is like mine, it authenticates you for outgoing e-mail by being able to determine that you're accessing the Internet from within their network. If your ISP is so configured, they'll offer the ability to authenticate to their SMTP server with a password. My ISP does not.
However, MobileMe does provide its own authenticating SMTP server that you should be able to use from anywhere. Try an SMTP server of smtp.mac.com (smtp.me.com will probably also work) with settings of "Use default ports", "Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)", and "Authentication" by password, your "User Name" the part of your MobileMe ID before the "at" sign, and your password your MobileMe password.
For non-MobileMe outgoing e-mail, you'll need to locate an SMTP server that you can use.
Also: Anyway to attach more than 1 file (say photo) at a time using MobileMe and my mail account? For 22 small photos do I have to hit attach each time? I can't seem to select the folder they are in and get all 22 to attach...
I haven't tried that, but I would expect to have to attach them one at a time.

IMAP/Gmail/Mail.app strangeness: what am I doing wrong?

I have two IMAP accounts on Gmail servers, one through my university and the other being my personal domain with Dreamhost.
When mail is received on both accounts, it does not always go into the respective inboxes. Rather, it is directed to the respective "All Mail" folders, both in Mail.app and the Gmail web client. Therefore, most new mail does not actually register as new mail, and I receive neither visual indication of new mail from the Dock icon, nor the audio indication of the new mail sound.
Aside from enabling IMAP access for both accounts, I have made no changes to the default Gmail configurations. I haven't added any folders that could have caused this, and I'm not using any smart folders in Mail.app. I'm using the standard mailbox configurations in Mail.app, with the default Gmail IMAP and SMTP servers and password auth.
Any ideas? Thanks!

I am having the exact same problem with my Macbook Pro, all of a sudden the password started rejecting and I cannot use that gmail account. This appears to be a bug. The quick fix was to set up another gmail account and forward the mail from the old gmail account to the new gmail account that works with the IMAP service. This way the mail from the gmail account with the rejected password will still come through and appear in MAIL.

Suddenly can no longer receive Yahoo IMAP in Mail

I have suddenly become unable to receive Yahoo IMAP mail in my Mail client in Yosemite on my MacBook Pro (13" Early 2011).
I can send mail, but not receive it. I suspect a problem on the Apple/OS X side, because my iOS devices are still receiving Yahoo IMAP mail.
I tried deleting and re-adding my Yahoo account. Now, not only can't I receive mail, I can't see any mail in my Inbox! Yet, I can see all my Yahoo folders and their contents while using Mail.

Hello Paul,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It does seem like you're encountering an issue with email that's isolated to your Yahoo IMAP account in Mac OS X.
For a situation like this, start with the troubleshooting tips in the section of this article called "Mail Connection Doctor shows one or more red dots in the account Status column:"
OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages
This article contains a variety of steps that can help resolve an issue like the one you're seeing.
All the best,

Sending via Mail.app breaks DKIM

I've just set up DKIM on my mail system (via Astaro Security Gateway).
If I send an email to [email protected] to comes back saying:
DKIM check details:
Result: fail (signature doesn't verify)
The same thing happens sending from my iPhone.
But it works fine sending from the same computer using Thunderbird. Or if I use webmail (Roundcube or Ilohamail) to send the email.
All are sending through the same mail server (Postfix), same account, with and without SSL.
Has anyone had any similar problems with DKIM and Mail.app?
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
James.

Raddy and Bevlo,
Whether a method of using a Signature with every recipient can be found, will likely depend on the composition of the Signature, or the placement of the Signature and attachments.
For the composition of the Signature, whether any HTML or links are included will probably be important. Since some recipients, such as some AOL users cannot handle Rich Text, then the Signature cannot be allowed to violate that, either.
For placement, it may be useful to test with the Signature, but make sure to place the cursor beneath the Signature, before attaching any files, and to furthermore take care to have no further text entry after, or between, attachments, including any use of the Return key.
Let me know if you wish me to examine any Signatures.
Ernie

Cannot access iCloud mail via Mail.app

Starting this afternoon, I have not been able to access my iCloud mail via the Mail.app program on my iMac. I am, however, able to access my iCloud mail via my iPod touch. Is anyone having a similar problem?

I'm trying to fix this on my husband's Windows 7 machine. Same problem. Rotating gear, page never loads. Would appreciate guidance.
Thanks!
