I searched and searched and can't find an answer. What are the server settings for IM for Yahoo? Any help is appreciated!

I have already given you the answer, :
Serveur POP : plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com Port 995 Avec sécurité SSL
Serveur SMTP : plus.smtp.mail.yahoo.com Port 465 Avec sécurité SSL
but you will find it in even more detail (in French) in this topic:
recevoir-et-utiliser-une-adresse-yahoo-dans-im-t38266.html

Well if you did I certainly did not see it. Otherwise why would I ask?! Thanks.

That didn't work. what next?

It seems you are not reading your private messages.
Next ?
I have two Yahoo addresses which work perfectly with this setting. if that doesn't work for you, there's nothing I can do about it.
Find out about your country, okay?

Regarding generate a password; I can't find that option. Help!

I repeat, Yahoo imposes its password on you.
To define it, go to the Yahoo site, on your account, in the margin, on the left, click on "Account security" then, look for "Other connection methods" and "Application passwords"
In the "Application name" box, enter "IncrediMail" then make a copy / paste in IncrediMail of the password generated and imposed by Yahoo.
Hope this is clear enough.
If you can't do it, check with Yahoo.

I did NOT ask you to do it for me! I just simply can't find the prompts you are suggesting! I give up!

I also suggested that you contact Yahoo customer service, the process I am explaining to you regarding the password required by Yahoo is very clear on the French site ... maybe it is different in your country ...

There's no real way to contact them without paying for their services. I've done what you suggested but still can't find what you said. I've searched their site and did find this;

"Generate an app password
Sign in to your Yahoo Account Security page.
Click Generate app password or Generate and manage app passwords.
Enter your app's name in the text field.
Click Generate password.
Follow the instructions below the app password.
Click Done.
Use this app password and your email address to sign in to your email app.

Revoke an app password "

But it's a dead end.

What you found is exactly what I explained to you on my last speech
In IncrediMail, I manage 11 email addresses including 2 Yahoo addresses and I generated the passwords following the procedure you describe ...

I don't understand that you can't do it ...

I can't do it because there are no options to generate password or any other options for that matter. Is there a way to attach a screenshot?

I can't see how to attach a screenshot so here's basically what I see:

That's it. No other options.

Here are, in order, step by step, the screens that you must find in your Yahoo account.
(Click on the images to enlarge them, they come from my account in French, but the account in English presents the same procedures)

Look at my screenshots above and search for the equivalent in your Yahoo account.

"Look at my screenshots above and search for the equivalent in your Yahoo account.

My screenshot would pretty much say what I already told you it says:

"Yahoo

Profile image
Colleen

Mail
Personal Info
Account Security
Recent Activity
Preferences
AT&T Account Settings
Help
Access & Security
This is how you sign in now

There are no other options. Guess it's different in the French version.

I see the option identical to 1 °) of the French version: Account security, just click on it to find the following steps.
Don't worry, I still have patience to spare

I spent at least an hour chatting with AT&T reps and they had NO answers for me! There were FIVE different people that I chatted with! UGH! So frustrating. None of them knew what I was talking about!😡😡 Well I did get a "key" but that didn't work. Sigh.....

I am really very surprised by your setbacks ... and I would be happy to be able to satisfy my curiosity.
If you agree, I would like to take a look at the hits offered on your Yahoo US account.
I really think that there is no reason that there are differences between what is offered in France and the possibilities in the United States.
If you want me to watch, give me your Team Viewer ID and password as well as your Yahoo email address and password.
Do not put this personal information on the forum, use private messages ("MP" button below)

Are you seeing my messages in word pad?

No colleen, I must have already been logged out when you came back to your computer.
What did these messages say?
Have you correctly configured incrediMail with the servers recommended by your providers? Did you realize that all of this has nothing to do with Yahoo?

My messages from yesterday on WordPad:
YEs I'm here
I haven't had breakfast yet. Can I get back to you in a little while?

It looks like you have to pay for that postbox program

Its 11:10 PM here. I'm going to bed. What's the time difference, 6 hours?


I've tried the settings you gave me from:
https://www.postbox-inc.com/setup/email ... -imap-smtp

You gave me 2 links but they're both the same. I get this error message when trying to receive:
Socket Error: 87, Port: 143, Protocol: IMAP.The parameter is incorrect.
What now? Is there a different link for Comcast? I don't have e-mail through them but it could work...who knows?! I mainly use Mozilla Thunderbird.

Colleen, since your first intervention everything is confused
In summary :
After much difficulty, and despite not being able to obtain all the information requested, I decided to connect to your computer to help you anyway.
Although you were not present, I could see that you had two accounts;

---@swbell.net
https://www.postbox-inc.com/setup/email ... -imap-smtp

---@comcast.net
https://comcastemailsettingsupport.fres ... ver-setup-

I have put on your WordPad the URL links to the sites of these two providers so that you can correctly configure IncrediMail.
Also, you say you are using Thunderbird ?? So just put the same setting in IncrediMail.
There is nothing more I can do to help you.

Well (hands up in the air!) I give up! You've tried everything; I've tried everything you suggested and it's just not working for me. I have the correct comcast (Xfinity) settings for Thunderbird already. Thanks for all of your time and attempts to help. Maybe I'll go back in a month or so and try again but as of now I'm done!

[color=#0040FF]Ok, well trying again! I got my gmail address to work sending me e-mails but I can't send e-mails out. What are the settings? I think I have them but not sure. Also, do I use my gmail address as my username? If so, none of the passwords I have tried work. Thanks.![/color]

And when I try to logon to Incredimail I get this message:
535-5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted. Learn more at
535 5.7.8 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=BadCredentials j2sm177901oor.18 - gsmtp
😟

SMTP 465
POP 995
You must enter your email address to login
Then, as I explained to you, the password is the one of you account EXCEPT if you have the 2 steps connexion in gmail. In that case, you must ask for a password for other applications but please wait for Tommy, he will explain better than me, I never wanted this 2 steps connexion
Also make sure you allowed the less secure applications in gmail (in security)

Hello
Saskia has told you the basics:
The use of a gmail account in IncrediMail is subject to two requirements
--- Do not use two-step verification
--- Accept less secure application access
To ensure that these conditions are met and that they are both ACTIVE, you must go to your google account and in the left margin, click on "Security"
Then just scroll down the page and check these two activations.
If you don't understand, give me your Team viewer ID and password by private message, I will look for you.

I have done both of those things but still am asked to logon. I even changed my password for Google but it's not working. WHY, why, why am I having so much trouble? 😟

Colleen, let Tommy have a look on your computer through TeamViewer. There is obviously a reason. Give him your ID and password by private message MP button under his sign

Have a look here please

Colleen there is another condition, you have to go to the settings of the Gmail account and make sure that in "POP and IMAP transfer", the "Enabled" box is checked.
Normally it should be enabled by default, but it's best to make sure
If you think I can help you use Team Viewer I will look at your computer

My computer shut down overnight so if you used Team Viewer the message you may have sent is not longer there. Did you do it yet? No hurry. Thanks.

Did your computer shut down last night?
It went to sleep or it crashed ??
I am very surprised because when I disconnected it was functioning quite normally.
I left you a message on your wordpad I regret that you could not read it.
I advise you to read your private messages on the forum you will be able to find the same explanations there even if they are not as detailed.
In summary :
I want to emphasize one point: check that your Google account password is the same as the password given in IncrediMail for your gmail address.
I added that you had not authorized "less secure applications" in your Google account and that the ports of your servers were wrong.
We asked you to check all of this and you didn't.
On the other hand, I installed IncrediMail Premium and Letter Creator for you which you didn't have.

My computer shuts down overnight from time to time. I didn't know it was going to do it last night - bad timing! What do you mean by "account password is the same as the password given in IncrediMail for your gmail address."? Do you mean use the Google password,because I did. As for the settings, the ports,etc. I saw them somewhere here! 😟 What should they be? Thanks for your help.

Alas, I cannot be clearer or find other words than the ones I use ...
I don't know your passwords, so I can't do it all for you ...
I simply noticed that you had not done what I had advised you (the settings of the servers and the gmail account as I explained above) and I changed what it was possible for me to change , but again, changing passwords cannot be done by me.

Collen, if I well understand, now Tommy has stelled everything, the only thing that is missing is your password. Why don't you open a new TeamViewer with him and let him put the password in good place ?
We gave you the good number for the settings and the way to accept the less secure applications. Maybe you did it and din't click sur "save", so you thought it was done but it wasn't. Now it's done, it would be a pity not to continue
