Yahoo Mail via Safari

When I'm using Safari to access my yahoo mail accounts, I can write the addy and subject lines perfectly. The keyboard automatically comes up and I simply type in the info. I accesses my contacts perfectly and auto-types them in as begin the info. The trouble is that the IPad won't let me type anything in the text or message area. I can't get the keyboard to come up at all.
Any ideas?

Yes, what you describe is correct. With the new Yahoo "Mail Plus" a "smart" editable text box is displayed for the message area which the Safari iPad does not support. To use Yahoo mail you have to switch to the "Mail Classic" view. To do this look for the "Options" pull-down menu item on the upper right part of the mail page and select "Mail Classic". This should work for you.

Can't sign in yahoo mail via safari after upgraded to iOS6

After upgraded to iOS6, I was able to sign in yahoo mail via safari only the first time but after that could not. Every time when I tried to sign in yahoo mail, it returned to sign in page. I have had the same problem with other upgraded iphones, but not iphone with iOS 5.
But if I clear history and cookies in the safari setting, I can sign in yahoo mail only once. Every time when I want to sign in yahoo mail, I have to go to the safari setting and clear history and cookies. I have no problem with gmail and hotmail.

Using Yahoo mail via Safari problem after IOS8 download

After downloading the IOS 8 update on my I5c, I am unable to sign in to my email account on Yahoo mail. I access this account on my phone via Safari. Prior to the download of IOS 8, I had no problem getting into my Yahoo account. Each time I tried to access the account I would get the Yahoo message :In order to use Yahoo mail, turn Private Browsing off.: I believe IOS8 is the problem because I have used my wife's I5c and get easy access to my Yahoo mail account. Has anyone experienced this problem? And what the heck is Private Browsing?

When I try to open my Yahoo mail in safari, I get a message which states:" In order to use Yahoo mail, please turn Private Browsing off. Please go to Settings Safari Private Browsing, and turn off" The problem is my ipad does not a Private Browsing switch

When I try to open my Yahoo mail in safari, I get a message which states:" In order to use Yahoo mail, please turn Private Browsing off. Please go to Settings>Safari>Private Browsing, and turn off" The problem is, my ipad does not a Private Browsing switchat this location.

With iOS 7 on the iPad, you turn Private Browsing on and off by tapping the URL field. The screen that opens up has your bookmarks on it. In the bottom left corner is a hot button marked 'PRIVATE'. Tap on the word 'PRIVATE' to turn private browsing on or off. Yeah, there aren't any instructions anywhere that I can find to do this, and if you follow Yahoo's instructions, they don't work. This doesn't happen with the previous Apple OS, and you can restore your iPad to the older OS.

Why can't I open yahoo mail with safari?

As of July 29 I can no longer open Yahoo mail in Safari. It keeps asking for user name and password, but when I enter it the same screen keeps coming up.

Clear Safari, then close it completely and reset the iPad.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear Cookies and Data.
Now close Safari. In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Can I setup Mail app to access Yahoo mail via IMAP?

Can I setup Mail app to access Yahoo mail via IMAP? I think that my iPhone is doing this, but what about the Apple Mail app on my Mac? I don't like the fact that the Mac downloads the e-mail messages and removes them from the server, therefore making them inaccessible from Yahoo's online mail or my iPhone.
I'd like to get to work just like my Mobile Me e-mail... Any thoughts?

There is an option in the 'Advanced' section of the account setup to delete the messages from the server after a specified period rather than immediately on download; you could leave them for a week or whatever, then they will still be there when the iPhone accesses them.

Trouble opening Yahoo Mail with Safari

Recently began having trouble opening Yahoo Mail with Safari. I am continually asked to upgrade my Safari to a newer edition; however, when I do a software upgrade check it tells me I have the latest edition. Anyone else having this trouble?

Your OS is way out of date and thus your version of Safari and Firefox are too. It would be wise to update Tiger using the combo update found here:http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_4_11_Combo_Update__PPC
Then you can further update Safari to it's current version using Softwareupdate from the Apple menu.
You can also use Firefox Help menu to update to it's current version.
To be safe run Disk Utility's repair disk function from your original install disk and repair permissions before and after the update from your boot disk.
Good Luck,

Yahoo mail via mac- smtp server authentcation issues using Rogers ISP

Hi All,
I know there is tons of comments posted here that are quite redundant in respects to using yahoo mail via mac. I am in Toronto using Rogers as ISP and have set up my pop ok - incoming mail is ok. I try to send a test email and i am getting the message
Cannot send message using the server smtp.mail.yahoo.com
The server response was: authentication required - for help go to http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/mail/pop/pop-11.html
I hav tried all kinds of stuff here based on suggestions i have read in this forum.
incoming mail server- pop.mail.yahoo.com
outgoing mail server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
server settings- port 587- have also tried 25
ssl not checked
authentication is not checked
i have tried smtp.rogers.broadband.com as an alternative also, but then it simply rejects my authentication password
I am really stuck here- if anyone out there in Toronto area using Rogers, has any feedback, i greatly welcome it.
Hope to hear from you.

No. not SSL.
Server authentication.
And i don't think you need to add a password there. You are already sending password from the POP settings - SMTP authentication picks up password from there.
This is from the help file at rogers.com (your ISP?)
http://help.yahoo.com/help/rogers/mail/pop/pop-15.html
Are you sure that using these settings don't work?
This is for Outlook Express for Mac, but your Mail settings should be close enough to find the appropriate boxes.
If your friend is on rogers yahoo, just duplicate her settings except in the address/password boxes.
Outlook Express allows you to add a new email account to your existing profile, so you do not have to replace your current settings in order to send and receive Rogers Yahoo! Mail messages. To set this up, follow these steps:
1. From the Tools menu, choose "Accounts."
2. Select the "Mail" tab.
3. Click the "Add" button.
4. From the Add menu, click "Mail."
5. In the Display Name text box, type your name, and then click "Next."
6. In the email address box, enter your full Rogers Yahoo! Mail address (e.g., [email protected] or [email protected]).
7. In the Incoming (POP3) box, type:
pop.broadband.rogers.com
8. In the Outgoing (SMTP) box, type:
smtp.broadband.rogers.com
9. Click "Next."
10. In the Account Name box, type your full Rogers Yahoo! Mail address (e.g., [email protected] or [email protected]).
11. In the Password box, type your Rogers Yahoo! Mail password.
12. If you want Outlook Express to remember your password, then check the box.
13. Do not check the "Log on using secure password... " box.
14. Click "Next."
15. Click "Finish."
To control deletion of messages from the Rogers Yahoo! Mail Server, follow these steps:
1. From the Tools menu, choose "Account."
2. Select the "Mail" tab.
3. Double-click on your Rogers Yahoo! Mail account.
4. Select the "Options" tab.
5. In the Server Options section at the bottom of the window, check "Leave a copy of each message on the server" if you want to save your Rogers Yahoo! Mail messages on both the Rogers Yahoo! Mail server and on your local computer. If you would prefer to have your messages deleted from the Rogers Yahoo! Mail server after you have received them in Outlook Express, do not check this box.
To change your default SMTP port settings:
1. On the Tools menu, click Accounts.
2. On the Mail tab, click your Internet Mail account, and then click Edit.
3. On the Account Settings tab, click Click here for advanced sending options, and then type 587 as the port number for your SMTP (or sending) mail.

Can't login to Yahoo mail with Safari

Hi,
I'm using a Macbook (13", 2.4 Ghz) running OS 10.6.8. I'm using Safari 5.1.2. I am unable to login to my Yahoo mail account with Safari (works fine using Firefox). Specifically, when I enter my login name and password, then hit <enter>, nothing happens. The cursor sits there blinking next to the bullets in the password field. If I click on the "sign in" button, again, nothing happens. The password field becomes unselected, but that's it. I've tried various remedies suggested in the forums: delete keychains, delete cookies, reset Safari. Nothing has worked. Is anyone else having this problem?

Quit Safari.
Open Keychain Access. Select Passwords on the left.
Delete the: Safari Forms Autofill keychain You can use the search field top right corner of the window to find that keychain.
Then right or control click the keychain then click Delete.
Relaunch Safari. Go to Safari > Preferences - Autofill
Make sure: User names and passwords is selected.
Try accessing your Yahoo account.
BTW, there's a way to access your Yahoo account without having to use web based mail via a browser.
Launch Mac Mail. From the menu bar click Mail > Preferences then select the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.
Under Accounts on the left click +
Enter your name, Yahoo user name and password; click Continue
Once your account is setup with Mac Mail, you just click the Mail icon in your Dock. You'll see a small red badge for unread mail there also.
This way you don't have to use a browser (dealing with cookies and caches) to access your Yahoo mail account.

Problem accessing mail via Safari browser

How do I access iCloud Mail via my Safari browser on my iPhone? If I go to iCloud.com it just offers me the option to install it on my phone.
The problem is, I already have it installed on my phone and it works fine EXCEPT at my new job - the wifi is not very good and I can access internet/Facebook etc but every time I try and load email it always says it 'cannot find the server .' I therefore tried to access email via safari browser - my other email provider works fine that waybut iCloud doesn't even give me the option to login, just keeps suggesting I install it.
Any ideas how I can check iCloud email at work? Can't do it on work computers, site is blocked....and there is no 3G/4G signal.
Thanks for any advice!

According to http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2618 you should be able to access it via a browser by going to https://www.icloud.com/#mail

How to use standard yahoo mail in Safari on my iPhone?

I try to get my mail through safari on my iphone using regular web-based yahoo mail. After I sign in, there is a toolbar at the bottom that has buttons like delete, compose mail etc. It was not there in the first place but I don't know what I pressed and it showed up. Is there any way to hide that toolbar?

Why would you want to use web based Yahoo mail when the iPhone supports Yahoo mail in the native mail client, even if it's not a premium account?
Just set up your yahoo account in Mail.

Office 365 OWA, mail via Safari is marked as spam

Hi,
HTML email send via the web based Outlook Web App (Office 365) in Safari (7.0.6) is marked as spam and so for bounced by external mailservers. Plain text email via Safari or email send via Firefox or Chrome (HTML or plain text) isn't marked as spam.
Anyone facing the same issue?

I have the same issue.
Mail works perfectly.. NO SPAM issues, EXCEPT when using Safari.
This is as much an APPLE issue as a Microsoft issue. All other browsers work perfectly. So, what is Apple doing in Safari
that causes it to be considered Spam?
Because of this I'm going to be forced to start using Firefox, which Apple probably doesn't want its users to do.

Problem loading yahoo mail in safari os x lion

When i browse safari with different site was fine but when i load up yahoo mail to check my email, it turn out to be sluggish or even to the point that it will not load. the other website that i'm already in, will get affected that i could even force reload them. then, if i close the yahoo mail, it will go back to a normal browsing with safari. if i check my email on gmail, there was no problem, i could continue browsing with other website. i haven't experience this before i upgrade to os x lion. please can somebody help me? are there any tweaks that needs to be done that i don't know.. please help. thank you so much.

Clay G wrote this on another thread so I'll give you his suggestions and it WORKED FOR ME!
Go to FINDER-LIBRARY-PREFERENCES- and delete the folder com.apple.safari.rss.plist
Go to FINDER-LIBRARY-CACHES- and delete the folder com.apple.safari
Restart your Mac.
I too was experiencing some severe lagging in some web sites-using Safari.
Also heard that Adobe (v 10.1) can cause lagging problems. V. 10.0 is more stable.
Did what Clay offered and NO MORE LAGGING.
BTW, you'll have to do a search(SPOTLIGHT) for SAFARI but it pops right up and you still have all your bookmarks and favorites.
Hope this helped.
