I want to set a new account for Mail but actually, it keeps refusing my registration. I have an email on Yahoo so I guess my Incoming mail Server and outgoing mail server are mail.yahoo.com right? Let me know about this as really I can not summit my registration. Thank you.

when you say it refuses your registration do you mean the email server or the application?
What application and what is your OS?

Just a FYI - you can only use OS X Mail with a Yahoo account if it is the paid version (yahoo mail plus - which allows POP3 access) - the free version is web access only.

If you are using the Mac Mail program, go to preferences. Click on account and check your settings.
First, if the email account you are using is webbed based only, it will not allow you do downoad to a program.
Second, if it is an account seperate from you ISP, it may require you to configure a little differenlty. Example, i use an email address for my website in addition to my personal one. I must configure to send from that email with my ISP send mail.
in the accounts area, if you don't have an account for the new account, click on th plus sign.
fill in 1) discription of the account, 2) the email address of the account, 3) your full name,
then in the incoming server: 1) enter "mail.(the server name, i.e. yahoo).com/net/what ever, 2) enter the password for the account
in the send mail: 1) enter "mail.(your ISP server here).com/net, etc. this is where some servers will require you to use your ISP server to send mail instead of the account's server. if have this issue with my buisness email.
again, some web based email servers will not allow you to download mail to a program, others will, so could you download the email before?

If you are using Yahoo's paid service, then the servers should be pop.mail.yahoo.com for the incoming server, and smtp.mail.yahoo.com for the outgoing server. Again though, these won't work for the free Yahoo web mail account.

Thank you guys, I have both paid and unpaid email address on Yahoo! I have tried with the paid one and it works. Thank you for that, I will not try the unpaid one.
