On your Mac, go to settings > internet accountsĮnter your name, user name (make sure to put after the user name)įor PASSWORD, do NOT enter your usual Yahoo! password (this is where I was able to fix my problem): I know this original post is from a while ago, but people are STILL having trouble getting Yahoo! mail to work on the Apple Mail application (at least I was), so I wanted to share my solution since the original post did not work for me (this is for my Macbook, however the same principle is used for iOs deviced) Do this for the other 3 mailboxes to make sure your mail gets sorted correctly. Then on the menu bar select Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For > Drafts. Make sure to identify four mailboxes as special: Drafts, Trash, Sent and Bulk Mail (Junk).įor example, in the left pane under the heading 'On My Mac' under the Yahoo account, select the Draft folder. Password: the password you login to Yahoo with. The Create button will change to Continue, allowing one to manually configure the account settings. In Apple Mail, add a new account and after entering a full name, email address and password, hold down the Option key. Note: You do not need to be a Mail Plus subscriber to take advantage of IMAP.
