setting up Mail

[ikenn]

Hi im using yahoo.co.uk account for my email, since it got POP3 for free, I also uses destiny cable for my internet connection. and i was able to get my email using Mail. but i'm having problem in sending email from my Mail. I'm sure i set up the smtp correctly. but if not how do u set it up? I also uses destiny cable for my internet connection.

probably your mail inbox (destiny) is full... try accessing it through the webmail then erase a few messages then go to MAIL:

click Mail, then go to preference
click Accounts
then go to Advanced
be sure to check the ()remove copy from server....
this will prevent your inbox to be full...

hmm, teka i think this setup is for problems retrieving emails,, pero try mo na din

Have you set Mail to use Yahoo's authenticated SMTP server? If not, go to Mail -> Preferences -> Accounts. Click on the Account Information tab then Server Settings...

Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.co.uk
Server port: 25
Authentication: Password
User Name: (your Yahoo! user name)
Password: (your Yahoo! password)

just signed up for yahoo uk and i can access webmail fine.. i followed the pop settings but can't download. keeps saying my password is wrong..

Let me get this straight. You can DOWNLOAD yahoo.co.uk mail, but you can't SEND, right?

Very simple. Just use this smtp address for your outgoing mail:
smtp.mydestiny.net

I used to be on Destiny and you need to use their SMTP to send out mail, no matter what account (Destiny, Yahoo, .Mac, etc.) No other server will go through.

I have a Yahoo.co.uk address myself and have not had any problems using it with Mail.app.

I see. no wonder that it worked for my friend having a yahoo.co.uk. i used the same setting she used. will try it out later though can't try it in the office. will post later if its worked. thanks

It worked! Great! Now i dont have to open my webmail just so i can send emails. Although i think i have to visit it once in a while to clean it up.
