Yahoo Mail bug with Apple mail?

Hi,
Im using Mail to send and receive my yahoo mail.
Lately, my mail is taking approx 4 hours to be delivered when sent from apple mail.
Ive read that there is a bug when sending to the yahoo servers.
Has anyone experienced this?
Is there a solution?
Thanks!

I'm having the same issue ever since updating to 10.5.2. Yahoo is delivering very slowly if at all. Indeed I've had more undelivered messages than delivered. Have deleted and re-created my Yahoo mailbox to no avail. Other solutions?

Accessing Yahoo! folders from Apple Mail

I already know how to synchronise my Yahoo! account with Apple Mail and it kinda work. I have a free Yahoo! mail account. I noticed on my iPod, its shows my custom folders and sent e-mails from the web. But on my Mac, Apple Mail does not show them. Just load all my e-mails from Inbox only. I want it to show my folders and sent e-mails from the web, just like my iPod.
Thank you.

No, YPOPS will not work, since it's for Windoze, not Mac. I haven't seen a solution for this, since Yahoo! seems to have effectively barred any workaround that I've heard about. Some EU countries prohibit Yahoo! from charging for this if your account was established before a certain date; otherwise you have to pay the fee like everyone else.
But for $19.99 per year for unlimited email storage and additional features, that's a really good deal. If you're adamantly opposed to paying for a good service, you can use Gmail, which is completely free, at least for now.

OS Update 10.9.1 did NOT fix Gmail syncing issues with Apple Mail App?

Is it just me? Or is anyone else having the same issues of gmail still NOT syncing accross iPad and Mac Mail app in spite of the "update/fix" to OS? My mail on my three Macs and one iPad are still never synced corrctly. When I try "syncronize all mail boxes" in the mail app of the mac, it does not work.
I look directly at my Gmail online thorugh Safari on the Google site and see I have 2 emails in my IN box. Yet on one Mac it has 15 (13 of ehcih were deleted several hours ago). On another Mac it has 18. On the iPad it has it right as that is where I begain looking at end editing email today.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Mike

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Solution to yahoo mail setup issues with Apple mail...

There have to be a lot of people out there who have a similar setup as me --- ISP is Verizon (FIOS), and am using an iMac w/OS X, v 10.7.4, and Apple Mail v 5.2. No matter what I did, I could not get Apple mail to connect to Yahoo's smtp server... (Gmail was not working either) I spent hours on this. FINALLY -- I discovered the problem. My FIOS router/firewall was on the maximum security setting, which only allows outgoing smtp mail to port 25! Once I changed that firewall setting (which allows outgoing smtp mail to port numbers other than 25), I was finally able to connect to yahoo's smtp server! Now my Apple mail works just fine. Here are the settings I used:
Incoming mail server: pop.mail.yahoo.com
Incoming port: 995
Outgoing mail server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing port: Used "custom port" set to 465
SSL is used for both incoming and outgoing servers, with password as the authentication method.
Full email address is used wherever it says "user name" in mail preferences
* This is with Yahoo Plus mail. And before you do anything with Apple mail, you have to make sure that you enable "POP" mail in your Yahoo Plus account, under mail - settings.
I hope this saves some people the hours of time that it cost me!!

I have managed to get incoming mail to work. It is the outgoing settings that are still not working on my system. I have tried every configuration. I have gone back and forth between Verizon and Apple Care too many times to count.
Do you have to turn down the security level on the FIOS router/firewall before making these changes? If you do, it probably makes the system more vulnerable to malware, etc.
I have standard Yahoo Verizon mail. I believe you can enable it for POP mail. It certainly always worked for me before. Like you I have tried everything. I was also told that my internet connection is PPPoE versus DHCP which may also cause problems. Like you, I have spent days trying to sort this out.

Help setting up BTinternet email with Apple Mail

Hello everyone,
I need help setting up a btinternet email account with Apple's Mail sofware. I am setting it up on behalf of my aunt and uncles new macbook pro so I hope i get some solutions quick because Im leaving their place by the end of the weekend and I would love to have their email setup and teach them how to use it.
They have 2 btinternet email accounts, the first one they use alot as its their main email account which is currently setup on MS Outlook on their old computer. The secound one they use rarely and its not setup on MS Outlook.
Heres the problem, when I setup their main email account with apple mail, I have no problem creating the account however once created the inbox is empty - it does not load previous emails. It can send emails fine, if i send an email to the account using my personal email it will receive it but when I switch off the computer and switch it back on the mail box is empty. So I checked the email account by going to yahoo.co.uk and signing in - again even on the web page the mail box is empty.
I then setup the second btinternet email account on Apple Mail shockingly this works perfectly all the old emails got loaded up in mail. So how do I do this for the main account, I know the difference is Outlook mail but I rather not delete that because if it doesnt work then they would lose all their old emails.
Please help
Thanks in advance
PS: ive setup my hotmail and yahoo accounts and they all work fine by the way

Please guys give me something or any random ideas u may have. im running out of time.

Send html mail with apple mail

I used to send a html newsletter with apple mail. I opened the html file in safari pressed cmd + i and a html mail was created. On Yosemite there seems to be a bug with this feature. After pressing cmd + i it creates a mail and html website is selected in this mail, but the mail body is empty. Now I have no ideo how to send the newsletter. Apple mail was the only way to achive a correctly displayed newsletter on most common mail clients.
Does anyone have the same problem or a solution?

Seems to be a bug in Safari under Yosemite. Occurs only with HTML pages which are stored locally on the Mac and then opened with Safari.
Two options for a work around:
(1)
When Apple Mail shows a blank page, choose PDF instead of WEB PAGE in the mail header.
Thereafter, the contents will appear as a PDF attachment.
(2)
Publish the HTML page. Surf with Safari to the published page. Use the command "File : Send : Email this page".
Now it should work.

Mail Question, What e-mail servers are compatible with Apple Mail?

Not sure which forum to post this in, so excuse me if this is the wrong place.
What e-mail servers are compatible with Apple Mail? I'm new to Mac and apparently my hotmail accounts don't seem to work. What about Yahoo or Gmail?
Thanks,
Alina

What e-mail servers are compatible with Apple Mail?
Those that use either of the IMAP or POP3 protocols.
What about Yahoo or Gmail?
Gmail and Yahoo Plus will work; standard Yahoo won't. Click here for more information.

Massive frustration with Apple Mail and POP accounts going offline

I love Apple mail. Best interface ever.
BUT... because of issues with Apple Mail, I've been forced to use Entourage.
I really want to use Apple Mail and hope someone here can help me with this.
I have two Yahoo business mail POP accounts that I need to have running for an online business I have. I keep Mail running all day and my .Mac IMAP account and a Comcast POP account stay up all the time.
But the two Yahoo accounts keep going offline. I get an Apple Mail message asking me to reenter my password. They won't stay up more than five minutes or so.
Over the course of a day, this is so irritating that, as I said, I've had to switch to Entourage, where the accounts stay connected all the time and work just fine.
I've scoured the forums here. Deleted .plists, added IP addresses, followed any suggestion that seemed plausible/ But no luck.
If Entourage works, Apple Mail, it seems to me, also should.
Can anyone help????

Speaking as one forced to use Entourage at work I can with confidence say in my case that they are different products serving different markets with different needs.
Apple did not drop the ball - the server is asking for re-authentication of a POP client. Any POP client should behave the same way. Yes, the client could just provide the credentials again, but it is safer to reequire the user to respond to the request.
That the request happens frequently is a function of the interrelationship between the DHCP lease life, client, and the mail host's response to new information.
Who is providing your DHCP lease?

Gmail no longer working with Apple Mail?

In the lasts 24 hours, without making changes to hardware or software, Mail has quit retrieving mail from my gmail accounts.
While I never receive any sort of warning about passwords or other issue, I simply get this:
And the "activity" window just stays that way... for hours with no result. The Connection Doctor window:
The Church Email account is an old one that is no longer active... I just haven't removed it from my list. But the "verify username and password" message is consistent... Strangely enough, down the same window - the SMTP connection works just fine. I can sent mail from all of my gmail accounts using Mail... Considering that the user name/password is the same for both sending and receiving mail.. SOMETHING is funky with Apple Mail.
Anybody have a guess what to check? This is frustrating.

Did you change any setting in Mail? Did you change your gmail account password? Did you activate 2-step verification on your gmail account?
If you haven't done anything from above, maybe problem is with your network... Did you try to turn off your router for few minutes and then turn ON again?
Did you install any 3rd party security apps on your Mac? Did you enable system firewall? Do you use any proxy servers? Do you use VPN?
There might be more questions...

Exchange Server 2003 with Apple Mail Setup Issues

Hi everyone,
I've been trying my hardest to setup my designer's Mac on our Exchange 2003 Server with Apple Mail with little success. I was able to setup the Exchange account as the Outlook Web Access server is setup for IMAP. However, I seem to have trouble with the incoming and outgoing mail servers. Running through the Connection Doctor says that the account is connected, however the outgoing mail server is not responding. I am using the mail server info from my MIS guy. For examples:
I setup the Outlook Web Access Sever as: "OWA-XX/exchange"
- This seems to connect the account
I setup the Outgoing Mail Server as: "mail-xxx2", with password enabled. This server address was provided to me by my MIS guy
- The Mac claims is cannot access this server.
Any suggestions here? My buddy is running the latest 10.4 on a old PowerMac G4 QuickSilver.

My buddy upgraded to Office 2004 with Entourage which did the trick!

How do I add a desktop link to gmail? I have one email account as my safari home page because it has trouble with apple mail, but I want a one-click link to two other email accounts.

How do I add a desktop link to additional email accounts? I have one email account as my safari home page because it has trouble with apple mail, but I want a one-click link on my desktop that takes me to two other email accounts.

Can you set up a rule in your old account to forward mail to your new account and then delete it from the old account?

I recently updated my e-mail address with apple, but now it does not show all the "purchased" music that I purchased under my old e-mail address. How can I re-gain access to those hundreds of purchased songs?

You are trying to find a loophole to circumvent a basic rule that prohibits the transfer of purchased content from one Apple ID to another.
Content tied to an Apple ID are bound to that Apple ID forever. You can not merge or trade accounts. Well, not (officially) anyway...
