Yahoo POP Mail just stopped working in 10.6.7

I have three Macs, two of which run 10.6.7 and one that runs 10.5.8. They are not networked together. This afternoon we had a storm and my big computer (iMac 27") was unable to retrieve my Yahoo POP mail. It has no problem retrieving mail from a BellSouth account and it can send fine on either account. So I tried the laptop that runs 10.5.8 and it downloads my Yahoo mail fine. I tried my other laptop that runs 10.6.7 and nope, it can't retrieve my Yahoo mail.
All of the Mail settings are exactly the same. I have no idea what to try next. Suggestions?

Just curious - has anyone taken this to Yahoo? Not sure if this will get solved by a bunch of us discussing on an Apple board. Yahoo's mode of operation in the past has been deny, deny, deny and then mysteriously, the problem gets solved without ever a mention of root cause and what they did to fix it. My recommendation is to not burn wasted time by deleting accounts in Mac mail and then re-inoutting the settings. This appears to have nothing to do with Mac mail and everything to do with Yahoo POP mail authentification. I can get to Yahoo mail using only my browser since this does not require a handshake between Yahoo servers and my desktop MAC software. Thus, it tells me there is a disconnect and the blame clearly lies with Yahoo since nothing on our MACs have changed and we are all experiencing the same problem. Let's see if they get over their denial and mysteriously fix the problem while we sleep. My bet is that things will work find in the morning and none of us will be credited back the $.50 for being down for a full day. Too bad the Yahoo Mail Plus agreement doesn't come with an SLA.

TS1307 Why does send mail just stop working and how do you fix it?

Using MacBook Pro bought last Chrismas and its mail client 5.2
In the last 2 weeks send mail has stopped working for both my wife and myself (we have different logins / accounts / email address providers)
We have tried different wifi / isp providers
rebuilding the mail database
accessing preferences and changing the default ports to specified port 25 and then back again
taking the mail accounts off-line and then back on again
deleting the accounts and then creating just one simple one (GMail)
no change - send mail still does not go.
What should we do now?
What have we done wrong to cause this to fail in the first place?
It was working fine, but now it is not.
It is quite worryingand a fix would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
Steve

Hmmm, here's the opposite problem/fix...
Gmail send but not receive...
Here are two steps that have come in handy in related situations
1) login to gmail on your computer or device via a web browser
2) once logged in successfully, go to this URL to unlock:
https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptch
Is your gMail POP or IMAP?
If IMAP...
Is the Outgoing server smtp.gmail.com, port 25, SSL on, & Authentication = Password

Pop mail suddenly stopped working

I have been using yahoo.de for ages and it always worked using POP mail setting. I recently updated my contact info on the 3 Yahoo accounts I have (2 yahoo.de and 1 yahoo.com) but afterwards 2 of the accounts (both yahoo.de) will not access account via POP and comes up with this message:
Sending of password for user ******@yahoo.de did not succeed. Mail server pop.mail.yahoo.com responded: (#MBR1240) Please verify your account by going to https://login.yahoo.com
The third account which is yahoo.com is not affected and still works with POP
(and all accounts can still be accessed as Webmail.)
I checked all the settings on the yahoo.de accounts and they are totally correct but they just will not work with POP any more.
very strange and just can not solve this!
there is an error code (#MBR1240) but no idea what it means.

''re :Sending of password for user ******@yahoo.de did not succeed. Mail server pop.mail.yahoo.com responded: (#MBR1240) Please verify your account by going to https://login.yahoo.com''
I presume you did this.
''re but for some reason the two Yahoo.de accounts just will not access POP mail ''
Can you check something and report back.
You have two Yahoo.de accounts, but how many Outgoing SMTP servers for Yahoo.de do you have?
Tools > Account Settings > Outgoing Server SMTP
You should have two, one for each yahoo.de mail account.
If you only have one then use the 'Add' button to create another.
Where the User Name and password for the mail account is also the same UserName and password used by it's selected SMTP server, even though all the actual server details will be the same.
You can use the 'Description' section to help you identify which is which as it is not used by server. You could type eg: Personal or Business or even the first part of the email address - the bit before the @.
then make sure each mail account is using the SMTP server with correct User name and password.
Tools > Account Settings
select mail account name
look bottom right for the Ougoing Server(SMTP), select from drop down box the correct one for that mail account.

Photo Browser in Apple Mail Just Stopped Working

All of a sudden the Photo Browser in Apple Mail stopped working. Hitting the button or trying to check the box in the Window does nothing. No prior problems.

Photo Browser came back after 2 weeks. No idea why.

My icloud mail just stopped working - northern california

All of a sudden, all of my devices are asking me for my icloud password. None of them accept it when I put the corrent one in.
This is for my iPad, iPhone5, and PC. Haven't bothered looking at my iMac yet. Also, suddenly my Wifi isn't working on my iPad or iPhone 5 but works with my PC. Somebody messed up big time.

Thanks to previous postings on this, I had to delete the existing Mac mail and created a new one using imtp instead of smtp.
Everything works fine now.

Iphone 3Gs mail just stops working. Quits in the middle of reading mail.

Has anyone had this problem: While reviewing my email in mail, it just suddenly goes back to the home page? I've had this problem several times. Usually, I just have to restore the phone or delete the account and add a new one. But eventually, it comes back. Any solutions known?

Since installing Firefox I cannot send Yahoo pop mail from my Outlook

I have always used Outlook for my yahoo mail under the normal POP3 set up. For many months I have been using Outlook 2010 for my yahoo mail in this way. I just installed a Slingbox and Firefox to make that work. Now my Outgoing yahoo pop mail won't work yet my inbound does. All the SMTP settings are as prescribed by yahoo when trying manual set up, and Outlook 2010 cannot set up automatically either (as it was previously able to do). All advice gratefully received.

Try deleting and readding the account. Yahoo has been having issues for weeks. Sometimes it's them. Sometimes with the iOS6 upgrade you need to reenter account info.
Another workaround can be to access yahoo via safari and access your mail that way until it works out.

Yahoo push mail is not working

After 2.0 upgrade, Yahoo push mail has stopped working. In settings "Fetch New Data" is set to "Push". But I don't get any news emails from Yahoo pushed to my iPhone. I have tried delete and reconfigure Yahoo mail, and also resetting the phone but still couldn't get push email to work.
I've set a 25 message limit - I see 25 mails in my inbox but I also see 3 phantom messages the end. These 3 phantom messages show up with only the ">" sign with no sender or subject and I can't read them.
Has anyone seen anything similar and have suggestions to resolve this? Thanks!

I've had my iPhone for about a week now, one of the first to get it the Australian release. My yahoo mail was coming across fine for the first day or so but then it stopped. I removed the email account from the phone and re-added it. It hasn't even been able to grab my folders let alone my email. It just animates the little spinner and says "checking for mail..." forever.
I just saw on another web site, somebody claimed if you removed the email account, went to yahoo and changed your password to something without special character, only letters and numbers, then re-add it that it would work. This based on the some story that the iPhone has trouble sending those characters. As my email was working at one point and since my password only has letters and numbers in the first place, I doubt this is what is going on. Here is the post, her instructions are in the comments: http://blogs.computerworld.com/iphoneand_yahooyahoo

Why do some keyboard shortcuts just stop working?

Since upgrading to Lion, some of my keyboard shortcuts - especially one for Mail - just stops working now and then and the only thing I can figure out to fix it is to restart the macbook.
The main one I've had trouble with is ⌘+ enter to send a message.
It seems (unreal, I know) that certain messages disable it in replies.
Any other way you can think of to reset the keystroke other than restarting?
Thanks
Tom

Hi there
Sounds like the project has somehow become corrupt. You may need to create a new project and copy/paste slides. You may also find that this will transfer over the issue. So it could be limited to a specific slide or even a single object on a slide.

Mail server has just stopped working. No errors in any log. Help!

I am running OS X Server 3.0.2 on Mavericks 10.9.1. Today at around 14:30 my Mail server, which has been working fine for over a year and for nearly a month under Server 3.0.2 just stopped working! I have tried stopping and starting Mail in Server.app and via ServerAdmin but the servcies will not start... serveradmin claims that IMAP is running but that SMTP/SMTPD/Virus Scanner/SPAM filtering/Virus updating are not. I tried disabling the all the filtering services but to no avail. Even though it claims IMAP is running I cannot connect from any client...
I have rebooted the machine but this did not help. I have looked at all the logs (system, mail, dovecot, postfix, amavis) and theer are no suspicious messages in any of them!
I am out of ideas and my mail server is down which is very serious so if anyone has any ideas please pitch in.
Thanks.

My problems were:
1.    Server.app shows the Mail service stuck in 'starting' status
2.    serveradmin shows that IMAP is running but SMTPD, Spam filtering, Virus filtering and Virus updating were STOPPED.
3.    No clients could connect to either IMAPS or SMTP.
Diagnostics performed:
All the various messafge logs (system.log, Mail.log, mail-info.log mail-err.log, amavis.log) show no abnormal messages.
DNS is working just fine.
In the end I did the following:
1.    Stop all mail related services.
2.    Make a safe copy of /Library/Server/Mail/Config
3.    Restore the previous days version of /Library/Server/Mail/Config from backup.
4.    Start the Mail service
And all was working again just fine.
I then did a file by file compare of all the configuration files between the workign and not working configurations and I found just the following two differences in postfix/main.cf:
Not working:
inet_interfaces = loopback-only
smtpd_helo_required = no
Working:
inet_interfaces = all
smtpd_helo_required = yes
I don't think the second difference is so critical but the first seems to break everything (not too surprising I guess). All the other files were identical.
So, the good news is that all is working again but the huge concern is why this change happenned, seemingly at random. My strong suspicion is that Server.app, at some point when I exited it havign made some minor change unrelated to mail decided to apply these incorrect changes to the Mail configuration. Why it would do this is beyond me. I think there are some subtle bugs in Server 3.0 (and maybe Server 2.2 as well)...

Since updating to Mavericks, Mail doesn't work properly. It just stops working (no error messages--it just won't check for new mail) and I must shut it down and reopen it to get it working again. Any suggestions?

Try to force quit the mail 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.
Failing that, go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars and remove your account info then put it back in and see if that works
