Yahoo mail on my iMac

I have successfully set up a Yahoo mail account on my new iPhone 4 but how do I set it up on my iMac??
It keeps telling me to visit Yahoo Mail Plus??

HI,
Open Mac Mail. (Applications folder). From the Mail Menu Bar click Mail / Preferences.
Select the Accounts tab then select the Account Information tab.
Now click + (bottom left side of the pane) and set up the Yahoo mail account.

  • Yahoo Mail storage on iMac

    If I set-up Apple Mail on my Mac desktop to access my Yahoo BizMail account, including the 40K+ archived emails there, will Apple Mail download all those to my harddrive, or just access them from the Yahoo 'cloud'?
    And if download is the default, can it be setup to download only recent mail, then send and access only recent mail from Apple Mail, while keeping all the archived mails on Yahoo?
    Thanks.

    Hi Freezermale,
    If you are not seeing any storage gains after moving a portion of your iCloud emails, you may want to double-check that they were in fact moved/deleted from iCloud and not simply copied/duplicated in your 'On My Mac' folder. If you continue to have issues with your iCloud storage, you may find the following articles helpful (apologies if you have already seen them):

  • BT Yahoo mail no longer syncs between two iMac and MacBook

    I've used BT Yahoo Mail on an iMac, Macbook and iPad successfully for some time with IMAP settings.  Following recent upgrades, the inbox is no longer kept in sync on the different computers.  Messages read on one computer are not marked as read on the other, and newly arrived incoming mail is not displayed on the second computer, having appeared on the first.  The only solution seems to be to rebuild the mailbox - tedious as it takes time, and you don't know until you try whether there is mail to be synced. 
    I'm using Mail 6.5 (1508) on the iMac, and Mail 5.3 (1283) on the MacBook.
    Is there any solution to this please?
    Thanks.

  • I cannot view Yahoo mail

    I cannot view Yahoo mail using the Imac Mail icon.  The message is "map.mail.yahoo.com cannot be contacted on port 993".  Yahoo technical support is useless.  Any suggesions?

    You probably need to reset the settings in your Mail app. Carefully follow the troubleshooting steps in Mail Setup, Troubleshooting etc.. . Instructions

  • I have a 27" imac. If I log on to yahoo mail, the color wheel comes up and i cant check email or send. It only happens as soon as i log into my yahoo mail! Please help someone.

    I am new to Using Apple. I've had my Imac for about 5 months, Recently when I log on to my Yahoo mail, if I click on any of my email, or if I try to compose an email, the color wheel turns on and it just freezes up, I am not able to view my email. This only happens with my Yahoo mail.  Someone please help? Any Suggestions?

    Hi Lizzy..
    If you are using web based email (accessing from Safari), from the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab.
    Click: Show Cookies
    Delete all Yahoo cookies.
    Now from the menu bar again click Safari / Empty Cache.
    Restart your Mac, launch Safari. Try Yahoo.
    If the problem persists, there's a better way to access your Yahoo mail without a browser.
    Launch the Mail application. Either from your Dock or Applications folder.
    From the Mail menu bar click Mail / Preferences then select the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.
    Click + under the Accounts window on the left.
    Type in your name, Yahoo email address and password.
    Click: Create
    No more having to use Safari or any browser to access your Yahoo mail. Just click the Mail icon in the Dock.

  • 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.

  • Locks up on google, yahoo mail, running windows 7 on imac with bootcamp

    I'm running windows 7 on an imac with bootcamp. When I go to google or yahoo mail, I never seem to land. It seems to lock up. The links aren't active nor are the back buttons. When I close it, out it doesn't shut down, so I have to shut it down in task manager.

    You can
    Select CD-ROM Boot prompt
    You just can't boot from the DVD without extra steps.
    Apple uses UEFI on those Macs that are "blessed" as being compatible, and yours and mine have older 2005 era EFI32 that won't.
    We also are stuck with 1.9GB usable RAM in 32-bit Vista/7 also, another blow.
    And no firmware update to Unified EFI 2.x to make us "compatible." Has not stopped 1000s from doing so though.

    How to establish and use MobileMe family email acct created at my iMac on iPad 1 that already has free yahoo mail acct set up on it.

    I don't know what the limit is for the number of email accounts that can be accessed with the iPad's Mail app if there is a limit, but it is definitely more than one email account.
    Add the MobileMe account - at Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, select Add Account. Select MobileMe and follow the prompts.

  • Having problem with yahoo mail on my old iMac

    My old dome based iMac is running Tiger. My yahoo mail is version 3.0.2. When I try and compose an email lately I add files but when I get ready to send there is no "send" button anywhere to be found. I want to email pics from my old iMac to my newer iMac with 10.6.8. So what is going on with yahoo?

    I suggest a flash dongle.
    dropbox.com
    zip up all your pictures.  upload the pictures to dropbox.  download to new mac.  You do not need an app on your mac.  do a manual upload/download.
    yahoo mail is version 3.0.2
    I am not familiar with this.  Is it an app?
    Yahoo changed configuration for imap a week or so ago.  Perhaps you should check your parameters.
    I use Mac OS X 10.4.11 Mail program.  Works for me with yahoo imap protocol for input and smtp for output.

  • Yahoo mail not working on iMac

    Yahoo mail works on iPad- worked for two days on iMac now it doesn't work.  I may delete and reinstall.  Is there a way i can install for just new email and not all of my history?  Thanks.  Any and all suggestions will help. Thanks.

    If you delete that account all will be instantly gone from it.
    You can move the current Mails/boxes for that account to another Mailbox you make.
    Without Mail running of course, you could in the Finder Move those folders to a safe place, & theoretically put them back after starting Mail, deleting that account, create the Account, quit Mail, move the folders back.
    But what does Mail's Connection Doctor say?

  • Yahoo mail stopped working on imac when i changed passord with Yahoo

    This may or may not be a coincedence but it seems about the same time.  Ever since I changed my password for my yahoo account, I've had problems with getting yahoo mail to send or receive from mac mail.  I simply changed my passsword on both my iphone and ipad and they've worked seamlessly, however with my imac no such luck.  I've searched high and low on forums, tried changing the settings and ports.  Deleted ALL yahoo related items within keychain, nothing seems to work.  A couple of times I deleted the yahoo account, reinstalled and it brought in thousands of messages, but then 5 minutes later would stop working again.  Now it continually gives me the message that my password is being rejected.  If I go to yahoo the password works fine.
    I've spent hours trying to resolve this, if anyone has any suggestions, please help me!!

    This worked for me. If you have an email that will not load in your yahoo from your PC, it is probably the culprit. Delete that mail or mails and your iphone will load all of your missing emails.

  • Yahoo mail rejects password but only on iMac

    Hi,
    I have an Intel iMac and loving it, I bought it last December and Apple mail was just perfect. But recently every day I get an error message saying Yahoo has rejected my password and to re-enter, with an option to save in keychain. The password keeps being rejected but if I go into Yahoo mail on Safari then all seems fine and Apple mail works. I also have an iphone and ipad and these are fine, no password issues at all.
    I know there has been a Yahoo update recently and I thought it could be that but then surely the iphone/ipad would also be affected. Equally there has been Lion updates and it all started around that time.
    I have tried deleting the password in keychain and starting again, no help. I have deleted the email account and stated again, no help.
    I am at my wits end trying to figure out what to do next. Any help or advise would be welcome.

    Well, this time last night I thought BT had fixed the issue by creating the POP account. BUT this morning when I started it all happened again but now on both IMAP and POP !! so double the annoying messages.
    Finally called Apple support as I have Apple Care I thought I should use my investment. Very helpful and patient guy, he said the issue was either software related or user set-up, to identify which we created a new User called TEST, so a virgin system, I then let the system create my email just as I did when I first got the machine last year and had no issue then. He then suggested that I try to use the new TEST user for my emails for a few days. If the issue returned then it is likely to be software, if not then likely to be user set-up/corruption somewhere.
    So, I will let you know how I get on.

  • Are there adv/disadv to Yahoo Mail Plus v. using basic mail progr w iMac

    I am brand new Mac user, switching from Dell laptop to iMac. Have had mail sent through Yahoo Mail Plus to Outlook for years. Unsure whether this is good idea now that I'm switching to iMac. Yahoo subscription due immediately so need to make decision. Thanks!

    Hey Adorone,
    This is the iPhone Mail, Contacts and Calendar forum. The Forum for 10.5 Mail and Address Book is located here: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1223
    If you want to keep using the email client on your computer and not using the web based mail, you'll need the Yahoo! Mail Plus service. With that service you get POP access.
    You can enter the POP information in the Mail.app in Mac OS X, like you entered in Outlook.

  • I have set up my Yahoo! account to be used as default mail account on iMac. I am receiving messages, but cannot send them.  All settings appear to be right.  What can I do?

    I have set up my Yahoo! account to be used as default mail account on iMac. I am receiving messages, but cannot send them.  All settings appear to be right.  What can I do?

    The problems I am having are when I use Yahoo! with the iMac mail application.  Yahoo works fine on the browser. 
    The outgoing settings I am using are:
    Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): yahoo.co.uk (Offline)
    Description: yahoo.co.uk
    Server name: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    Use default ports (25, 465, 587)
    Use SSL
    Authentication: Password
    User Name:  ********@yahoo.co.uk
    Password: *************
    Of note:
    I cannot stop it from saying Offline after the outgoing mail server.
    I have used the same settings on my ipad and iphone and that works fine.
    Really grateful if you can help.
    Thanks
