Yahoo outgoing mail server host name

Having Yahoo mail issues with iphone4, It will not allow the auto yahoo mail add, I did add it under "other" and can receive mail but not reply to it.
I have the outgoing host name as smtp.mail.yahoo.com and below the server port is 25. I have changed the port yp 587 and 465 without result. Anyone know the correct outgoing outgoing server host name and port for yahoo mail?

Trying to add my thunderbird work email account to my new iphone, how do I find my "incoming mail server" and "outgoing mail server" host names?

Got a new Iphone 6 and I need to add my work thunderbird email account onto the phone. It is asking me for the host name of my incoming and outgoing mail server and I have no idea what this means- please help!

First off there is no such thing as a Thunderbird email account. Email providers issue email accounts and Thunderbird is email client software and not a provider.
You can look at the server settings in Thunderbird to see the settings it is using or you could get a list from your provider.
In Thunderbird go to the menu bar and select Tools-Account Settings-Server Settings to see the Inbound settings and Tools-Server Settings-Outbging Server(SMTP) for Outbound settings.
No menu bar with Tools showing? Press the alt key.

HT201320 what is the incoming mail server host name and user names

Hi there,
I am trying to add my school email account to my phone and I am able to fill in the
Name
Email
and Description
but am not sure what I am supposed to fill out in the Incoming Mail Server spots:
Host Name
User Name
and the password is already filled in?
and Im not sure what the Outgoing Mail Server is either.

You'll have to ask someone at your school what the incoming server settings are for their email. These differ for every email provider/account.

HT1277 incoming mail server host name on ipad 3?

I updated my iPad 3 and lost one of my e-mail accounts...my @hotmail.com account is still showing up but my @me.com account is gone and I cannot figure out how to get it back on there. Specifically in the incoming mail server part...host name? Please help! I use this email for my business account.

Try this configuration assistant for iPad:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/mail/#section_1
If setting up your ".me" account fails starting with "Other" in the assistant, then try iCloud and see if that helps.

Yahoo outgoing mail server not working.

My yahoo outgoing server not working on iPod touch or iPad it says apple.smtp.yahoo failed...incoming is ok so far...this outgoing mail failure just started about a couple of days back....anyone else having this problem?????what should I do?rediffmail account does not get set up either so just unable to use any of my emails. :(

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
I get 100% success pinging mail.adelphia.net, and if at your home venue where Adelphia is your ISP, then I think no separate Authentication is required. Port 25 would be the proper port. However, if you are not at home, and the provider of internet connection limits you to using only authenticated SMTP then you would not able to use mail.adelphia.net as the Outgoing Server.
Are you at the venue where Adelphia is the ISP?

How do I fix my iPod touch's problem with hotmail outgoing mail server?

I have just received a new replacement iPod touch 8Gb.
On my old model I used the house wifi network to connect to HOTMAIL in the mail app it would set the account up immediately and work perfectly.
This time, when I tried to set the account up I had a long delay while it verified account details. Then after opting to set up account without using SSL an account was generated with an error message to say I may not be able to send or receive mail.
Incoming mail is OK, outgoing is not working.
The error message told me that I needed to configure my outgoing mail server.
My default outgoing server is set to smtp.live.com and works on port 587.
I have an additional server set to 'on', which is also smtp.live.com working on port 465, which was set up when I tried to alter the port number on the default server. Still no outgoing mail.
Any suggestions?

Followed your instructions and again, account verification failed using SSL.
I chose to create without SSL and got the following message:
'The SMTP server 'smtp.live.com' is not responding'. I accepted the details,
the email Inbox populated, and everything looks normal.
Same error is occuring:
'Connection to outgoing server 'smtp.live.com' failed. Additional outgoing mail servers can be configured in settings>mail,contacts and calendars'
The settings are as follows:
Incoming mail server
Host Name: pop3.live.com
username: is correct
password: is correct
Outgoing SMTP:
Primary server
host name: smtp.live.com
username: is correct
password: is correct (has been re-entered just in case)
Use SSL: OFF
Authentication: password
server port 587
I have duplicate SMTP servers listed under 'Other SMTP servers' with exactly the same details as above so it seems as if the iPod is retaining some settings even after I delete account.
Also, I wonder if there is anything I need to get the network administrator to do, because he did ask for the Wi-Fi address of my previous iPod touch could it just be a case of allowing it as a specific device on our network?

How to get mail server host?

Hi, All.
I try to implement my background co and get two questions.
1. How can I get the mail server host name which I set in GP Administrator?
2. How can I get my EP server`s host name?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
No idea about first question.
For second, you can try this code :
try {
     InetAddress thisIp =InetAddress.getLocalHost();
     String url = "http://"+thisIp.getCanonicalHostName();
     final String instanceNumber = System.getProperty("SAPSYSTEM").toString();
     final int httpPortNumber = 50000 + 100 * Integer.parseInt( instanceNumber );
     url+=":" + httpPortNumber;
} catch(Exception e){

My emails wont send out, outgoing mail server problems. ANy help?

i am trouble sendine emails on ipad when im at starbucks. the outgoing mail server does not work. my domain is one i registered on my own, not a hotmail etc.

Hi Friend,
Which kind of account are using? It is just happen when you are at Starbucks, isn't? If not:
If you are using a business account (for example [email protected]) you must set POP account info properly, filling all the blank fields (name, email address, description, password, Host Name, user's name, SMTP). Just one field blanked causes error in sending/receiving.
If you are using a default account (iCloud, Yahoo!, Hotmail...), fill all the blank fields (Name, Email account, Password, Description) and sign in.
If not works, delete the account and sign in again
Hope it will be helpful

SMTP Outgoing Mail Server does not use password so I can not send mail..

Hi All
Can anyone help me with this?
My POP email accounts on Hosting.365.ie do not use a password to authenticate outgoing mail. They rely on a prior authenticated download to enable the outgoing mail server.
On my MacBook Pro there is an option in the SMTP server settings under authentication for "none' and all my accounts work perfectly on the MacBook.
However my iPhone4 (brand new) and iPad (both up to date) there is no option under the SMTP server settings for "none". I think this is the root of the problem. Has anyone else come across this or is there a workaround?
Many thanks if anyone has any insights.
Peter

Yeah, I don't know why the difference. Interestingly for me, the iOS version in iOS4.2 is "better" than the OSX version of Mail because now I can have more than one Exchange account.
I am sympathetic with your need to separate your lives. I have a client that accidentally got one of my alternate email addresses and cannot/will not update his address book with the "correct" address, despite my requesting several times over the course of a year. In any case, I don't think there is any way around this other than completely changing your email address. (If not a second Gmail, then Yahoo, Hotmail or other email provider.)
The only time I've ever seen a "no password" SMTP server was as I previously said, it used a "network authentication" method. Many, many moons ago, SMTP servers often didn't have password authentication so would often be used for spam relaying. Before mobile users, "network authentication" by ISPs was fine since they could figure out which user was spamming since they could trace the IP addr, MAC addr, etc back through the physical link to the user. But with mobile users who change networks constantly, the general trend was to password authentication, even for wired ISPs since their users would want to have access to send mail while away from home. (e.g.: you're a RoadRunner customer, but want to send mail while using your laptop on vacation in Italy.) This "prior authenticated download" I've never heard of anyone else doing.

Yahoo and Gmail support should be able to help you.
Not related to Firefox support, web mail doesn't use POP or SMTP protocols which is what email clients such as Thunderbird use for communicating with email servers.

Outgoing mail server is greyed out

My email is being forwarded from Verizon to icloud. I receive the mail in icloud but when I send messages it send from Verizon address. the outgoing mail preference is greyed out and reads p03-imap.mail.me.com. Any ideas of how to crrect this. I'd like to change from Verizon to iCloud.

Hi Lawrence. I'll go through the process. I click on SMTP under outgoing mail server. My primary server, smpt.aol.com is on. The next screen says server, which is on, then underneath that is the outgoing mail server. Everything under that heading is greyed out, which includes the host name, my user name, password (which says optional), user ssl (which is on), authentication, then server port 587. I need to change my password where it says optional, but it is all greyed out and won't allow me to do so. Thanks very much for your help!

Outgoing mail server appears blocked by mobile network

I have already contacted Roadrunner to find out why the host name in the Outgoing Mail Server--mobile-smtp.roadrunner.com will not work. They state that it should read mobile-server.roadrunner.com. When I typed that in, it reverted back to the original phrase, and they said to get in contact with the mobile network. There must be a block in it. We tried a different port, however, that did not work either. Has anyone had this problem? I am receiving emails from roadrunner without incident.

Try deleting the account and selecting manual set up. Also you can also try using an email app from the play store like k9 mail.

Outgoing Mail Server(SMTP)

Does anyone know what the host name for the outgoing mail server is suppose to be, right now I have it listed as smtp1.attglobal.net, but it's saying cannot send out mail the connection to the outgoing server smtp1.attglobal.net failed. Can anyone give me the correct outgoing server.
Jeff

Try this first:
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/mailhelper/
The Outgoing mail server depends on who your email provider is. You can usually get information on the provider's web site for settings, or check the settings on your computer; they will generally be the same. HOWEVER, if your ISP is your email provider they may not allow use of their outgoing mail server unless you are connected to their network. In this case you would be able to send mail connected to your home wireless network, but no from other wireless networks or using EDGE on the phone.
If this is your situation you have several options:
1. For EDGE use only, use cwmx.com as the outgoing mail server, no user id or password. This will not work when connected via a WiFi network.
2. Create a gmail account and use their server; this requires user id and password.
3. Us a paid SMTP site (e.g., godaddy.com)

Problem with outgoing mail server

Hello,
I use Mac Mail on my Mac Book Pro with my yahoo.fr email address.
For 3 days, the outgoing mail server is offline, and I have no idea why. (The incoming mails: no problem).
I checked the name of the server smtp.mail.yahoo.fr, changed my password, but it remains offline.
Has anyone a solution...? Thx a lot for your help!!

My imac is the same. However if I access my mail the old fashioned way.......go to safari...yahoo...mail...then I get in and all is ok, so I don't think Yahoo are the problem here. Loads of Apple users seem to have this problem, but no one seems to be able to sort it out, maybe when everyone goes back to a cheaper pc Apple will listen.

Relay Outgoing Mail Through Host Not Updating

We relay our mail through an external company and I have added the entry to Relay Outgoing Mail Through Host field and enabled the tick box. What ever I do I cannot get these changes to take affect. I have tried modifying the main.cf and enabled the relay option without any joy. After modifying these I performed a full restart but it still hasn't taken affect.
This has been working up to now but after a power cut stopped for some reason.
We are running Mac OS X Server 10.4.8.
Thanks
Ross

I'd noticed a small glitch with the GUI during earlier testing. Might not clear things for you but worth trying...
Set it with the Relay Outgoing Mail ticked and relay server entered - click Save.
Wait for whirling update thingy to stop.
Delete the relay server name then tab out of field (field fills with greyed out "relay.example.com"), only then untick the option - Save.
Wait for whirling update thingy to stop.
Tick the option, fill in the relay server - Save.
If no change, people will probably need the unedited output from "postconf -n" and an example mail.log entry showing an outgoing message leaving the server.
