Imap Program For Mac
It’s IMAP-only, and setting up your account ranges from simple (Gmail) to tricky (Outlook, although the program’s great help files spelled out exactly what I needed.).
Mail automatically uses the correct settings for many email services. That's why you seldom need more than your email address and password to set up an email account on your Mac or your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. If Mail needs more information, get the settings in this article from your email provider. You can print the article and complete the Setting column with the information you need.
| Name of setting | Setting | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Full Name | Choose your sender name as you would like it to appear in messages that you send. Example: John Appleseed. | |
| Email Address | Your email address for this account, such as appleseed@example.com. | |
| Incoming mail server settings | ||
| These settings are for downloading messages (receiving email) from your email provider's mail server. | ||
| Account Type | Choose IMAP*, POP, Exchange IMAP, or Exchange EWS1, as directed by your email provider. If you're using a Microsoft Exchange account, see the Exchange setup instructions for Mac or iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. | |
| Description | Choose the name that Mail will use for your account, such as Work, School, or Yahoo. | |
| Incoming Mail Server (host name) | The host name of the incoming mail server, such as mail.example.com. | |
| User Name | Your user name for this account, such as appleseed. Some email providers want your full email address as your user name. | |
| Password | The email password you use to sign in to your account. | |
| Port | The port number used by the incoming mail server. Common port numbers for incoming mail are 143 and 993 for IMAP accounts, and 110 and 995 for POP accounts. | |
| Authentication | Choose Password, MD5, NTLM, Kerberos, or None, as directed by your email provider. | |
| Use SSL? | Does the incoming mail server support SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) or TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption? | |
| Outgoing mail server (SMTP) settings | ||
| These settings are for uploading messages (sending email) to your email provider's mail server. | ||
| Outgoing mail server (SMTP) | The host name of the outgoing SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server, such as smtp.example.com. | |

| Use SSL? | Does the outgoing mail server support SSL or TLS encryption? | |
| Authentication | Choose Password, MD5, NTLM, Kerberos, or None, as directed by your email provider. If None, you may need the additional settings below to send email when you're on a different network, such as from a Wi-Fi hotspot or Internet cafe. | |
| Outgoing mail server (SMTP) settings for when you're on a different network | ||
| Get these off-network settings only if your email provider doesn't use authentication for outgoing mail. | ||
| Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) | The host name of the outgoing mail server, such as smtp.example.com. | |
| Port | The port number used by the outgoing mail server. | |

* IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is best if you check email from multiple devices, because your messages are stored with your email provider until you delete them. As long as your devices can connect to your email service, your mailbox stays the same on each device. If you use POP (Post Office Protocol) on more than one device, those changes don't appear on every device, and new messages delivered to one device may not be delivered to your other devices.

How to set up IMAP Yahoo Mail with Apple Mail
Note: You do not need to be a Mail Plus subscriber to take advantage of IMAP.
In Apple Mail, add a new account and after entering a full name, email address and password, hold down the Option key. The Create button will change to Continue, allowing one to manually configure the account settings.
Use the following settings:
Incoming Server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing Server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Incoming Port - 993 (requires SSL)
Outgoing Port - 465 (requires SSL/TLS)
Username: full email address (example: bill@yahoo.com)
Password: the password you login to Yahoo with.
Make sure to identify four mailboxes as special: Drafts, Trash, Sent and Bulk Mail (Junk).
For example, in the left pane under the heading 'On My Mac' under the Yahoo account, select the Draft folder. Then on the menu bar select Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For > Drafts. Do this for the other 3 mailboxes to make sure your mail gets sorted correctly.
