Can anyone advise me what to do please? Thanks!

Dear Lana jL: this is a known issue with Yahoo Plus and Mac mail . You'd either have to use anothei email app
or try this website. I dunno if it works, but it might be worth a try

Can i get hulu plus with apple tv

Before I invest in an apple tv can you get Hulu Plus.

May I ask, then, what's the point of getting Apple TV? I'm not trying to be a smarty pants. I honestly need to know because we're searching for a Cable TV alternative.
Thx.

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.

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.

Since iOS 8.1.2 upgrade problems with yahoo mail via apple mail client

Since the upgrade to iOS 8.1.2 on my iPad I'm having issues with my yahoo mail account when using the apple mail client. I can send emails but cannot receive them. When I use the yahoo mail app there is no problem Sending or receiving. I have deleted and reinstalled my yahoo email account from the apple mail client. I have checked the wifi by changing between wifi hotspots. I have also restarted the iPad as well as resetting. None of these actions have resolved the problem. would appreciate any assistance that can be provided.

Do you use two-step verification for your Yahoo! account? If yes, you need an app-specific password.
If no, make sure your password is already entered in the "Outgoing Mail Server" in the Settings app.

Yahoo Mail folder behaviour with Apple Mail 5.0

I think it's great that Apple Mail 5.0 now has IMAP functionality with Yahoo Mail but I have one query that I'm hoping someone can help me out with.
If I send mail with Yahoo Mail, using Apple Mail, it creates a new sent messages folder where my messages are put after being sent. What I would like to do however, is use the Sent folder, which Yahoo uses by defaul when using the web interface.
Is there any way to get Apple Mail 5.0 to do this?
Any help/ideas/suggestions

I just did that for the "sent" folder that was showing up under the list of Yahoo folders. It seems as if all email sent from my phone were going into that folder. Once I did that, the folder popped up under the Sent with the paper airplane icon.
However, then it moved all of the ones that HAD been in the sent folder with the paper airplane (sent locally on the Mac) to a "Sent Messages (Yahoo!)" folder under "On My Mac".
I'm assuming the paper airplane section is IMAP. But now I still have sent items in 2 places:
Sent (paper airplane)>Yahoo
On My Mac>Sent Messages (Yahoo!)
How do I resolve this so that ALL Yahoo email (whether sent from my iPhone or locally on the Mac--or even the web interface) goes to the same sent folder?

Trouble with Apple Mail retrieving Yahoo Mail (OS 10.10-Yosemite)

I recently installed Yosemite and Apple/Mac Mail will not work or retrieve my yahoo mail. I can receive my gmail just fine. I've checked all of my settings, used the "mail doctor", taken the account offline and then online again, rebuilt the mailbox and tried to synchronize the account. Nothing seems to work. Oddly enough the program seems to work intermittently (it worked for a few days when I first installed Yosemite then stopped retrieving my yahoo mail and again randomly over this past weekend, but is now back to not pulling any yahoo email). I can read my yahoo emails online just fine, fyi. I would love it if anyone had any suggestions.
PS: I've also downloaded another mail client, called Postbox, which retrieves my yahoo mail just fine, but the program is severely limited and very quirky (search function doesn't work well, difficult to view and arrange your email without it having problems, etc.).

jgallag/Larry:
I, too, have been having this problem with yahoo mail not loading into mac mail. It has been a persistent problem that I have had to close my mail program and reopen to get emails to come in - this was way before yosemite. But after upgrading to yosemite, I've had more troubling issues. I have 2 yahoo mail accounts, a primary account and a special use account. Right after loading the new upgrade, the special use account was unable to send emails via mac mail. I could send them from the yahoo server online, and from my iphone, but not from my laptop (mac air). Two days ago, emails stopped loading into the mac mail program primary yahoo account. I could send emails, but I could not receive them. I tried all of the things you also did and suggested, to no avail. I have found that shutting the system down and rebooting was enough in the past to "wake up" the yahoo account/mac mail account interface, but not this time. This time, it took moving the laptop to another state and another server to refresh the connection and permit emails to load (I headed out for a business trip today, and emails came in when I reached the hotel). I did not turn off my computer, just put it in sleep mode during the flight, but apparently a change of scenery is what it wanted. It would be nice if Larry or someone could either fix this problem or help us navigate through it more efficiently - two days is too long to not load any emails.

How can I sync iPhone "Notes" with Notes Folder in Yahoo Mail Plus Account?

I am trying to sync my iPhone 3gs "Notes" (ios 5.0.1) with my Yahoo Mail Plus Account. In "Settings", "Mail, Contacts, Calendars", "Yahoo Mail" Account , the "Notes" button is turned ON. When I open my Yahoo Mail Account on my PC, a "Notes" Folder has been created, but it is EMPTY.
How can I get the data in my iPhone Notes application to show up in my Yahoo Mail Plus "Notes" Folder?

There is now a separate Notes application. It is not part of Mail.

Can I Sync Apple Mail to Yahoo Mail Plus?

I have the upgraded Yahoo Mail with POP. I have successfully accessed my yahoo mail from my apple MAIL app. But it seems to only pull things from Yahoo Mail in one direction.....but not acknowledge any actions taken within MAIL app, like Deleting messages, etc. It is not a TRUE "Sync". Any tips? Is this even possible?

Yahoo! Mail does not sync with anything, since they don't offer IMAP service. If you want, and need IMAP service, you can use MobileMe or Gmail, although in my experience very few people actually have a good reason to use IMAP.

Palm Centro Issue With Yahoo Mail Plus POP via Versamail

I have a Palm Centro and have been using Versamail for 3 1/2 years with my Yahoo Mail Plus account via POP. On September 12th I stopped having the ability to send or receive POP email on my Yahoo Mail Plus account. I have spoken with Sprint & Yahoo. I have done all the steps they have asked and I have even gone as far as replacing my phone with another Palm Centro and still have the same issue. I know the config is correct as it was working for so long. I can use my Gmail POP in Versamail fine. I receive the error when setting up the Yahoo Mail Plus account in Versamail when I click on "Test Settings" I receive the following... "Error connecting to server. Please check your network or server settings and re-sync." Does anyone have any ideas about this? Thanks.
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

actually some e-mail providers like yahoo free account, msn mail and free hot mail does not work with the mail application, as you told me that it needs to enable the pop server for such mail
and about the iphone are you sure that ur using the mail application in iphone, you must be using safari to browse through ur mails
yahoo mail plus is compatible with the mail application but it comes for a price so here you could either use safari to go through your mail or go in for some other free account like AOL which will work with the mail application

Problems with Yahoo Mail Plus

I have a Yahoo Mail Plus account and I can get my mail through Outlook 2007 without any problem, but I cannot receive (muchless send) any e-mail on my iPod Touch.
My incoming mail server is plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com and my outgoing mail server is plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com. I've deleted and recreated my account on my Touch, and I've deleted my account and had it recreated when I've synced with iTunes. Neither of these methods have worked. My password is correct and I know I've got a WiFi connection because I can go anywhere I like on the internet using Safari.
Can anybody help me? Please???

Try this:
1.) Go to settings (or if you don't have an account setup, just go to the mail app)
2.) Don't touch the yahoo icon. Hit "other"
3.) Select POP from the top 3 buttons
4.) enter your name, email address ([email protected]) and your password
5.) Enter the host name for the incoming mail server (for yahoo mail, it should be "pop.mail.yahoo.com ". Enter your user name (without the @yahoo.com) and then enter your password you use.
6.) Enter the host name for the outgoing mail server. It should be "smtp.mail.yahoo.com "
This was posted by a friend that said he got it working this way - I have not tested as I have no Yahoo! account.
Here is another set of instructions I found online - again, NOT tested by me.
1) Open yahoo mail
2) Click "options" tab in upper right corner
3) In center column click "pop access and fowarding"
4) Make sure there is a blue dot where it says Web and POP access, if not click there so that it does. You may also decide your spam choices here.
5) Click "save" in upper left corner underneath where it says mail
Now go back to your touch
1) open settings on the touch
2) tap mail
3) tap add account
4) tap other
5) tap POP
6) put your name in
7) add your yahoo email address
8) it will show your yahoo account again as the description
9) under incoming server mail host name, type in pop.mail.yahoo.com
10) type in your user name
11) type in your password
12) under outgoing mail server host name, type in smtp.mail.yahoo.com:465
13) type in your user name
14) type in your password
15) tap advanced
16) under advanced make sure that SSL is on, authentication is set to password
and that the server port is 995 for incoming and 465 for outgoing

Gmail and Yahoo with Apple mail problem

Hi, I read Mail help, wouldn't help. I tried many times but couldn't get my gmail and yahoo accounts set up in Mail. what's exactly the Incoming Mail Server of Gmail and Yahoo, and the Outgoing mail Server of these two? How about Hotmail? Every time it shows Not responding. What's the Account Type of Gmail and Yahoo?
Thanks in advance!

Hi There
For Gmail setup using apple mail use this guide
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13275
POP access on yahoo accounts is not free. A yahoo mail plus account is needed.
As far as I am aware Hotmail does not allow any POP access at all. I couldn't find any specific information on POP access in Hotmail's help site.
Hope this helps
