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 Stopped working on Nokia 808

My Yahoo mail is not working anymore since yesterday on my Nokia 808. I have tried removing and re-adding my Yahoo mailbox account.
I am able to setup my new yahoo mailbox, but when it goes to retrieve email it just stops, and nothing.
anyone else having this problem now?

Hi jake20, jjvdgeer and sgkichN8. We would like to verify if you are referring to the Nokia Mail powered by Yahoo! or the Yahoo! Mail itself.
We'll wait for your response. Thanks.

Yahoo Mail basic - works on iMac desktop but not macbook pro?

Settings appear identical but yahoo mail basic will not work on mac book pro mail but OK on iMac desktop mail...... whats that all about?

Is your iMac OS current? Your MBP isn't: (10.6.2)
Use Software Update to update your OS to last version of Snow Leopard - OS 10.6.7. Install all the other updates that goes along w/it.

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 Completely

I deleted my account and re-entered it, now it says it cannot connect to IMAP server. Any ideas?

I got it back. I had to restore the whole phone (which means removing all music since I don't want to wait 4 hours to sync a few albums). I think there was a problem with Yahoo, I was even having trouble logging in from home. I am not going to blame iPhone for this, but they should help Yahoo out or stop advertising Yahoo Push mail. It does work better if you delete all your e-mail. I don't know if you need to delete your whole account. I think it has to do with the amount of mail in the inbox and the server is unable to handle it.

Yahoo Mail stopped working on 1.1.4. Any ideas?

Had 8GB Touch with 1.1.3 installed with extra apps, and Yahoo mail (through mail icon) was working fine. Upgraded to 1.1.4 and now when I try and retrieve mail it says - The user name or password for imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com is incorrect. I have double checked it is OK, delete and setup the setting again, yet it says the same error every time. I have no idea how to get this working again, as nothing like the pop mail server is configurable. Any ideas??
Also I've noticed that if I delete all mail settings, then enter the mail icon, you get the new setup screen wizard, but its still trying to connect in the background with the old settings and the error message still comes up, even though all settings are supposedly deleted!

I use Yahoo! as well for my mail, and I have an 8GB. When I upgraded to the 1.1.4, I had no issue with it getting my mail, although I did notice if I was using a weak signal, oftentimes, it would tell me my username and password was incorrect.
When I first started using Yahoo! though, I found out for Yahoo! Premium, you could get your mail on a portable device (like the iPhone), so I attempted to set it up, and everytime it told me the username and password were incorrect. When I attempted to manually set it up, I couldn't, because IMAP settings are only available to premium users, so I purchased premium, and within five minutes, mail was working perfectly.

IMessage and FaceTime stops working in iMac after carrier change

Hi all,
I have done a fair bit of googling and had a look at the discussion history here but couldn't find a solution to my problem. Apology if it has been raised and discussed before and I woud appreciate being re-directed to the thread.
I have got iMessage and Face Time running smoothly on my iPad 2 wi-fi, iphone 4S and iMac OX 10.8.4. However, on the day of my changing carrier (17/09/2013), iMessage and FaceTime stopped working on my iMac as well as iPad 2. It can longer recieve or send messages or receive or make Face Time calls. All the settings looked the same - tick mark next to both my Apple ID email and mobile number, and conversation has always been set to start from mobile number on all devices. iMessage and FaceTime continue to work on iphone 4S without any issues. New sim card but same mobile number. I don't worry too much about the iPad. I just want to make it work again on my iMac and appreciate any help anyone can offer.
Steps I have attempted to make iMessage work again (I left Face Time turned off on iphone and iMac during this time)
0) I disabled/removed Bonjour (GTalk) in iMessage setting in iMac
1) I have turned off iMessage and FaceTime on all devices and swtiched iMessage only back on in iphone 4S first and then iMac. I got the message on my iphone that the iMac will start using the mobile number and Apple ID to send iMessages. However, iMac still fails to send or receive messages.
2) I have updated Apple ID on the web (removed the phone number, saved, and then re-entered phone number assoicated with Apple ID). Then repeat #1
3) I have tried changing "start new conversation from Apple ID email" across all devices - did not resolve anything
4) I have added a friend's Apple ID in iMessage on my iMac -mobile number automatically appeared and tick marks for both her mobile and Apple ID email but unable to send or recieve messages still while it continues to work from her iphone
5) I have also done a PRAM reset - I got the 2 chimes - did not resolve the issue
There's a clear trigger for this problem - change of carrier but I don't understand why it is affecting the iMac (and ipad) but not the iphone itself. Does anyone have any ideas what I can do about it?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi,
At the OS X 10.8.2 update things regarding the iMessages Account's login were changed.
It now requires that the Mac's Serial Number is held in the Memory for it on the Logic Board.
It can get missed in Refurbishments and Repairs.
This is used to generate the Auth-Token for your Apple ID in the Keychain.
Go to Application/Utilities and open Keychain Access.
In the Login Keychain look for "IDS: (Your Apple ID)-AuthToken"
Double clicking this will open the Info Panel.
Check the Access tab and make sure it is either allowing Any App or lists Messages, IMCore and those in this pic.
Although it is know that the Mac has to list the Serial Number it is not clear if other info is needed.
It is possible that it also refers to your Public IP address in some way, this would seem unlikely as most people's ISP issued IP address is from a DHCP server - you basically keep the same IP as you are "Always On" between the router and the ISP but it can change.
If it is not allowing access then change the settings.
There are also two .plists that contain the word imessages
One of these refers to the server you connect to.
com.apple.imservice.iMessage.plist contains the Info you have in the Preferences of Messages (Apple ID, Linked iPhone Numbers and any additional emails)
com.apple.imessage.bag.plist contains which server at iMessages you connect to.
I would try deleting (drag to Trash) the second of these and then restarting Messages.
If that does not work Quit Messages and delete the AuthToken for your Apple ID (if the AuthToken appeared to be allowing access above.)
Restart Messages.

Why does mail stop working?

Why does mail stop working when it has worked fine for years?

OK, thank you. I use apple for e-mail. I have an @me address and I have long subscribed to mobile me, which has recently become icloud. Yesterday the @me mail account appeared to stop recognizing my e-mail password for my primary mail account on my two imacs but not on my ipad. The most recent e-mail I have received on my imacs is 7:16am yesterday, but I know from my ipad that I have received numerous e-mails since then. I have other mail accounts, including one for the school where I teach. I am receiving e-mail on the school account ok.
I made no changes to my password or otherwise for my primary mail account any time recently. I also still have my @mac address.
Generally, I do not understand icloud. I do not understand how to sync information across computers.
When I go to preferences in mail and I click and accounts and account information, I do not understand anything that I see there. When I try to re-type my password, there seems to be no way to save it except to switch to another mail account. I know from past experience that if I attempt to fix whatever might be wrong with mail I do not know what I am doing.
Any information would be helpful. Thank you.

Yahoo mail not working on iphone 5 with new upgrade. What going on?

Iphone 5 yahoo account stop working when the new upgrade came out. What the problem?

Hello tifftann,
I'm sorry, I'm a bit unclear what exactly you mean when you say that your Yahoo account "stop[ed] working". If you are having issues sending or receiving from the Yahoo mail account you have configured on your iPhone after a recent iOS update, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

TS3276 Icloud mail stops working 3 minutes after I sign in

Icloud mail stops working every time I sign in, for some reason it just freezes wherever I am working. No idea

When I try to log onto a new site the blue line in the text box freezes and the connection does not take place. This happens about 5 minutes after logging on.
There are many possible reasons for that.
Most likely a corrupted cookie or cache file for that site may be responsible.
On the Safari menu bar got to Safari -> Empty Cache
Then go to Safari -> Preferences and click on the 3rd symbol from right.
Click on Details -> type the name of the particular site (e.g. facebook) in the search field and delete all upcoming entry's.
Restart Safari and try again to log in on the site.

Mail stopped working

I have had this iTouch for 10 days now. I have version 2.0.2(5C1) and everything was working perfectly until I connected the iTouch to my Mac Powerbook today. Then, Mail stopped working altogether. Send or Receive is not working. I just see a "Checking for Mail..." sign at the bottom of the screen when I go into an Inbox (gmail, me or company email). All other apps seem to be working fine.
Any suggestions (other than to throw this wonderful POS out?) I actually do mean "wonderful" because I did love this until today. Maybe the "Mobile me" is screwing this up....thoughts?

Hi CInglez ,
Do you care to share what the solution was? I thought when you ask a question on forum and hope that people reply, should'nt you update if you have resolved the problem.
Anyway, you are not obliged to anyway.
Just wanted to update that i was facing the similar issues.
OCS version: 10.1.2.4
OS: SuSE 9 Update 3
Issues: Could not telnet on OCS server localhost on port 25, even though the listener_es and all email processes were running.
Solution: set the stack size to 512
Step by step instructions to resolve:
1.logon to the terminal running ocs apps server as oracle user
2. run ulimit -a and you will find that stack size is set to unlimited (assuming you have it to default)
3. set stack size to 512, by running the following command:
ulimit -s 512
4. run ulimit -a and ensure the value for stack size has changed.
5. from that same session run: $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl stopall
5. Now start all the process from that same session: $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/bin/opmnctl startall
This has resolved the issue for me, to set this parameter permanently please follow the metalink note # 395083.1
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Mail stopped working on Airport Express wifi.

Using Airport Express. Suddenly, only Mail stopped working on my iPad & iPhone, using my home Airport Express. Other internet site work. Mail works on different wifi network. I deleted Yahoo Account in iPad Settings. Re-entering the Yahoo Account gives the msg "IMAP server 'apple.imap.yahoo.com' is not respondig. Check network connection ant that you entered correct info in 'Incoming Mail Server' field.

Had the very same problem with ATT DSL and mail @ my domain. Tried everything including pestering the crap out of my hosting service. Turned out to be AirPort Extreme firmware version 7.6.4 (the latest). I downgraded with Airport Utility to 7.6.3 and all is fine.

Try to reset your ipad and/or force quit the mail app
Reset
Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot. No data will be lost.
Force close an app
Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.

Hi were you able to resolve yours?
I was very worried losing all my medical stuff on my iPad Air 2, plus i have nothing to use for the next day! So i have to try all the possible things i read on the internet!! And this worked on my part (Thank God, and thank you Google)
Perform a hard reboot
Hold down the Home button and Power button on your iPhone or iPad and keep holding them until you see the Apple logo. Once you do, you can let go. When your device boots back up, go ahead and check to see if the apps have started re-downloading. If they still appear to be stuck, continue on.
