Yahoo mail issues on Lion OS 13" MBP 2011

Hello Apple Community. I have a problem on setting my yahoo mail on mail features on my MBP 2011. The first time I lunch it and setup it to hotmail it work. However when I add another account for yahoo mail it didn't work. I search everywhere and entered correctly the incoming and outgoing server and the port and tried other alternatives like plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com and plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com or wthout plus and trying ports 993 or 995 and also for the other port. It didn't work. I have an iphone classic already set-up for hotmail and yahoo and been using already. I tried delete those accounts on my iphone and try to set-up again on my MBP but still didn't work and prompts me that my password is been rejected by pop server. I also changing my username with or without @yahoo.com. But still it doesn't work. I already search here in apple community and followed carefully every step but i still fail on setting it up on my yahoo mail. I changed my yahoo mail account to visible which is before not visible to public but I failed so many times. Any help here who encounters same problem on Lion OS? Thanks!

If this is a stock MBP then it really is shipped with just enough RAM, 4GBs. If you have many Apps open and then try to use LaunchPad the whole computer may freeze for a moment while swaping out info from physical memory to the hard drive (also the hard drives that come in the MBP are of the SLOW type, 5400RPMs as apposed to faster 7200RPM models).
Not sure how long you have been a Mac user but if you are fairly new there is one thing you need to know.
In Windows when you click the X in the upper right hand side of an application that App closes and frees up the memory it was using.
With a Mac when you click the X in the upper left hand corner all that does is close the windows that was open. It does not exit the program. The program is still running and loaded into memory. You have to either go tomthe menu bar and select Quit "Program name". If that last program name is not on the menu bar then you have to do a Command+Tab until it is then Quit Program. You can also use Command+Q to quit the active program.
So if you are moving from Windows to Mac you probably end up with quite few programs open thinking you have closed them. This can add to the freezing you are seeing.

If AHT doesn't show any issues, your best bet would probably be to take it to the Apple Store. The AirPort (Wi-Fi) card may have been unseated from its original position. If there is a problem with the card Apple should be able to replace it for free.

Yahoo mail issues since updated safari

Since I upgraded to Mountain Lion and updated Safari, I'm having strange Yahoo email issues. The following work fine in a Firefox browser session.
1) typing addresses deos not fill in names like it used to
2) I can't attach files, I get an error everytime

I had the same problem with Yahoo! Mail but even worse I found that I simply could not send any mail at all. The problem only arose this week after installing the new (1.1.4) software upgrade.
I had originally set up Yahoo! Mail using the option given on the Mail screen and it worked perfectly until the upgrade, which may just have been coincidental, I suppose. But I was then unable to send any mail at all. I deleted the e-mail account and then reapplied it but not by opting for the Yahoo! option on Mail and instead set it up as an 'Other' POP account, being sure to deactivate SSL and instead go for Password verification. From what I gather this is just how you would set up a Yahoo! Mail account for MacMail and this basically applies the advice that BT gives for Yahoo! Mail users with a Mac.
It then worked fine, but I lost the really cool real-time sync with Yahoo! Mail which I had had previously.
I have since managed to get Yahoo! Mail working again properly by simply trying and trying and trying to reapply the account as a true Yahoo! Mail account on the Mail icon and eventually it gave in to my dogged persistence.
Good luck.

TS3276 I need feedback for the following issue. When I send email from this 27 inch iMac, the computer adds a string of characters in vertical column that represents the QWERTY key board, all alpha numeric characters are included. Yahoo mail, issue only o

Restating my issue / question...
When I send email from this iMac, there is a string of characters assigned. The characters are all the "alpha numeric" characters on the QWERTY key board. This only occurs when email is sent from this iMac. The issue does not manifest when using any other lap top or computer.
Hence, I have ruled out the issue is a yahoo mail matter.
Again, I can access the Yahoo mail account form multiple devices and send email without unintended assignment of character strings, but when I send wmail using this iMac, the issue happens everytime.
Characters are stacked verticaly in a column. It looks as if all characters (except function keys) are included in the string.
Any ideas?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; } | open -f -a TextEdit
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Is anyone else having issues with Lion on Ivybridge MBP in 32bit mode

HI,
I'm having big issues using Lion in 32bit mode with my new MBP. It will boot ok but then after a seemingly random period of time it will lock. It seems to happen randomly. I thought originally it was an issue with using the FW port and spent some time with an Apple Care engineer and we couldn't fix it. I then re-installed Lion onto an external HD and used this without installing any extra software and it was seeming still happening.
There is nothing that I can see that triggers it, I'll just be using it normally and then suddenly it will just lock. The first sign that somethings not right is errors with the display, parts of windows being left behind when I move them or sections of the menu bar at the top dissappearing.
Does anyone else have this issue as I've tried with Apple and the senior engineer couldn't figure it out and they've said that they haven't had any other reported issues.
System:
MBP - 13.3"
Ivybridge 2.9GHz i7
8 GB 1600 Mhz RAM
OS 10.7.4
Thanks
Adam,

Firefox & Yahoo Mail - Issue w/ Using Contacts when composing. Msg says contacts not found. Problem w/ Firefox or Yahoo?

I am using Firefox 6.0.2. I use Yahoo for e-mail. Recently, I always have issues when trying to use Yahoo contacts. They are not available when composing an e-mail. Is this a compatibility issue w/ Firefox 6.0.2 & Yahoo Mail Plus?
Thanks.
Terri Taylor

I have no access to my Yahoo contacts. I cannot search or browse them. The only way I can get ONE is by adding the contact from an email. Then, if I ask to see more contacts either through the partial alphabet buttons or to see the entire list of contacts, I'm back to the same search page where NOTHING happens. Did I say this is VERY frustrating?? HELP

Yahoo mail issues - receiving but can't access folders

A few days ago I upgraded my iphone 4 to OS 5.1.1, immediately had problems with my Verizon (Yahoo) email. Reading other discussions here I am now able to recieve my Yahoo emails by manual fetch but this only works for new email. To get here I deleted the account, re-initialized the iphone and then reinstalled the Yahoo account. Working so far but in my main inbox all remails earlier than May 16 are archived and I cannot access. I have the setting for mail to show the last 500 messages so that shouldn't be the issue.
At the bottom of the mailbox under the last email it says and if you click it will get those messages. This gets caught in an endless loop of checking for mail and then eventually times out with all these emails inaccessible. Obivously like most people I've got my mails organized so accessing folders is kind of critical email functionality.
Anyone else out there with Yahoo mail problems having this one as well? Would like to solve before I go through the hassle of migrating everything to one of my gmails.
Thanks

IPhone4 Yahoo mail issue

I was having issues with Yahoo mail on my iPhone 4. I deleted the account and reloaded it.
Now my inbox will only load 5-6 messages. At the bottom it will say "48 messages 5 unread" but will not load.
I have deleted/reloaded the account and rebooted the phone several times with no change.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

I have the exact same issue. Anyone help?

Yahoo mail issues on iPad mini and iPhone 5s/ iOS8?

Yahoo mail suddenly shows "no mail" in the inbox. Using the Yahoo! SMTP Server on iPad mini w/Retina, iPhone 5S, both with iOS 8. Tried rebooting, deleting and re-installing yahoo. I can still send. Yahoo mail on mac, mobile web, and yahoo downloadable app works. I have resorted to downloading the Yahoo mobile app. Any suggestions on getting the device mail to work again?

I have the same problem. At the bottom of the inbox window, it momentarily says "Downloading 1 of 250" then quickly changes to "Updated Just Now" without displaying any email. All other folders show mail!!! Only the inbox does not display email. I have also tried hard-resetting the iPhone.

Is anyone having trouble getting Yahoo Mail through the Mail client (POP service)? Mine was working perfectly before the update, but now I get the following error:

There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account "Yahoo" or try again.
The server returned the error: The connection to the server "imap.mail.yahoo.com" on port 993 timed out.

Yahoo Mail issue, able to recieve but not send.

I sold my friend my Macbookpro running 10.5.3 and he is able to receive emails but not send them even though the MBP makes the sound like the email was sent. Yahoo says they are not reaching their server. I told him to repair disk permissions which may be a long shot and if that did not work to add a new user account and re setup the email account over again and see if they go out from there. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. I know I have had this issue before but it was just because my outgoing mail server was not typed in properly.
He says everything is correct. Could it be a port issue?

Please see if the Apple mail troubleshooting support article resolves this misbehavior.
Sending is the SMTP path, which is the one that nobody new to mail can find — mail uses POP or IMAP for receiving, and SMTP for sending, and there are separate settings, servers and login credentials for each. To get to the SMTP settings, Mail > Preferences > Accounts > select the failing account > Account Information > select Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) to Edit Mail Server List > select the SMTP account > verify the settings for the server, that SSL/TLS is enabled (usually) or not (rare), and that your username and password are correct. Like the POP or IMAP settings, these SMTP settings and credentials are also specific to your mail ISP, which means I don't know exactly what the required settings are here.
With the way that mail pops up that infernal "do you want to cause yourself grief by changing your password?" dialog box on transient network errors, it's very easy to get an incorrect password set, too.
I'm not sure why you've listed web server, Linux, Apache and PHP in your posting.

Exchange and mail issue on lion

I use a 27inch iMac with exchange for the company email. If I ever search for an email in mail I can usually find what I am looking for but after that Mail freezes. I then have to force quit to restart mail. It's not an issues on the iPhone. Help?
Any thoughts on what is happening or alternative solutions.
I am running lion.

It's a bit more involved than one would hope. If you do decide to move it, I'd use Method #1 here.

Severe Yahoo Mail Issues! Please Help!!!

Ok, I am getting really frustrated with the Yahoo "push" mail on the iPhone. Lately some of my e mails aren't being received by the people I'm sending to! I can't possibily be the only having this issue. Anyone else been able to solve this?

Push is inconsistent for me too. Generally I receive few mail messages by "push"... more of a random "dribble" email really...
I've also experienced outbound email loss... where the client gives a reassuring "woosh" sound indicating that the mail was sent... but the message either got dropped by Yahoo, or was lost somewhere else in the ether. No way to know if your email made it or not, other than to use BCC as an indicator of likely success.
Personally, I think it's pretty pathetic that these serious issues with iPhone email, and one of Apple's key partners/features for the iPhone launch... MONTHS AGO... still persist. I'd hoped 1.1.1 would include a fix...
