Can Mac be a factor in Verizon Yahoo Email not working?
Today I realized that my email account at Verizon.net is not sending or receiving email and hasn't since May 2.
After a lot of searching for an answer, I wonder if this could be something to do with Apple.
Apple said
"If an alert indicates that your message can’t be sent using a specific outgoing Mail Server, it’s possible that you’re not using the required server for the Email , or the server may be configured incorrectly in Mail settings.
- In the Mail app
on your Mac, choose Mail > Settings, click Accounts, then select an account. "
I couldn't find a way to do Choose Mail>Settings>Accounts". If I click "Mail", it takes me to my email accounts. If I right click "Mail", nothing happens.
Another Apple message said:
"Mail settings are not known for your email provider. Please contact your provider for correct settings.
Verify an email account’s outgoing server in Mail on Mac
The server may be configured incorrectly in Mail settings.
Open Mail for me (Mail offline) "
This is from Verizon Community:
"You can also manually add the settings for the Yahoo account. Here are the server settings:
incoming server: imap.mail.yahoo.com. port: 143
outgoing server: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com. port: 587 "
I don't know how to do this. Is this information that Apple needs? If so, how do I get it to them? I didn't see anything in Support or elsewhere to give them this information. I have hours today on this. Hopefully someone here can help.
Thanks.
