You can block incoming e-mails from a specific person or from all email coming from a specific email provider by using Yahoo Mail\'s filter function.



Open an email from a sender you want to block. Look at the toolbar above the message. You\'ll see "Delete, Move, Spam, More". Click on "More".



A drop-down menu appears. Just under "Print", you\'ll see "Filter Emails Like These..." Click on that.







Name: Fill in the name of the person or leave it blank.



The boxes for Sender, Recipient, Subject, and Email Body all have the same dropdown menu:







How to use these dropdown menu choices: For example, if you want to block every email from an email account at aol.com, you could choose "ends with" and type in "aol.com". The other options work in similar fashion. You could use the "Subject" field to block all messages about, for example, "college reunion" or "Viagra" or "pron".



Click on the last item, "Then move the message to:" to see a list of all your email folders. If you never want to see messages from blocked senders, choose "Trash" and Yahoo! Mail will delete the message before you ever see it.



Bonus: Once you\'ve learned how to use filters, you can also set up a folder called, for example, "Family". Then you can open an email from a family member, click on the "More" and then the "Filter Emails Like This..." options and you\'ll see the person\'s name and email address filled in. Simply change the "Then move the message to:" to your "Family" folder, and Yahoo! Mail will always file all your family email messages in one folder. To read them, open the folder and you can easily find all family email messages in one place.

You can set-up your Apply Rules function in the Mail Preferences. It is supposed to perform which ever action you have set to your emails as they are retrieved and loaded into Mail from your mail server. To do so;
Open Mail. Press Command and , (comma) at the same time, or select Mail in menu bar (the upper right corner beside the Apple). Then select Preferences. A pop-up window will appear, select the last button on the right called Rules (looks like an envelope with multi arrows pointing upward and outward. Select Add Rule. Give it a descriptive name or levee it at the default Rule 2 or 3 ... whatever. Leave the next choice alone it defaults to any. in the next area you can choose a number of different parameters pending your needs (or info best suited). If the emails in question always come from the same address or always have the same sender or same subject, well you choose the best suited and then if it contains or doesn't contain etc. You will find if you have a email selected before this step it will start to automatically enter things in the field after contains such as the address or the sender name or the subject etc. Then where it defaults to Move Message you need to change it to Delete Message (for deleting) or you could choose a different option. If you have numerous addresses or senders or subjects etc. you do not need to make a new rule every time just click the top plus button and enter the info. Then click OK and it will ask if you want to apply the rules right away.

You can not block emails with in Mail running OS X Mavericks. But you can set-up your Apply Rules function to automatically delete them within the Mail Preferences. It is supposed to perform which ever action you have set to your emails as they are retrieved and loaded into Mail from your mail server. To do so;
Open Mail. Press Command and , (comma) at the same time, or select Mail in menu bar (the upper right corner beside the Apple). Then select Preferences. A pop-up window will appear, select the last button on the right called Rules (looks like an envelope with multi arrows pointing upward and outward. Select Add Rule. Give it a descriptive name or levee it at the default Rule 2 or 3 ... whatever. Leave the next choice alone it defaults to any. in the next area you can choose a number of different parameters pending your needs (or info best suited). If the emails in question always come from the same address or always have the same sender or same subject, well you choose the best suited and then if it contains or doesn't contain etc. You will find if you have a email selected before this step it will start to automatically enter things in the field after contains such as the address or the sender name or the subject etc. Then where it defaults to Move Message you need to change it to Delete Message (for deleting) or you could choose a different option. If you have numerous addresses or senders or subjects etc. you do not need to make a new rule every time just click the top plus button and enter the info. Then click OK and it will ask if you want to apply the rules right away. Your other option would be to use the web login for your mail server and block the emails through them. Most, like yahoo, outlook etc have it built into the settings when using their accounts directly and if you do it there Apple's Mail will never see them.

Check your setup mail settings it sounds as if you are repeatidly sending the same emails, but are unable to receive any messages or updates.

It is worthwhile checking your junk mail to ensure that they are not sitting there. Another thing to examine is whether or not you have spam measures in place - although you may not have changed anything as such they could be gettting caught in the spam filter if there was a sudden flow of incomming emails with similar subject headings e.g. Test .

How do you access your Yahoo mail? Is it via the browser (www.yahoo.com) or via MS Outlook?

If you're having a problem of sending/receiving emails while using the web browser, you may want to delete old and unnecessary emails. You could have reached the storage limit of your email account.

But if your using an Outlook, you need to double-check the account settings. Make sure that you have the correct user name, password, incoming and outgoing servers, incoming and outgoing ports.

If you setup your email account using the POP protocol, you may use these server ports:

Incoming: 110 or 995
Outgoing: 25 or 2525, or 587, or 465 (SSL)

For IMAP:

Incoming: 143 or 993
Outgoing: 25 or 2525, or 587, or 465 (SSL)

If the same problem occur, you may try to delete your account and recreate it. Please bear in mind that if you deleted your account and recreated it, some emails may no longer appear or get downloaded.

Thank you and good luck!

I have the following (and complete) list of settings on my Jet for my hotmail account and it is receiving and sending emails correctly. (After seeing 6 posts and none with a full solution, something needs to be done .. RAGE!!)
Account name - "random name" SMTP sever - smtp.live.com SMTP port - 25 Secure Connection - TLS Incoming Server Type - POP3 POP3 Server - pop3.live.com POP3 port - 995 APOP login - unchecked Secure connection - SSL Download limit - 50 IMAP4 incoming email - New (faded out tho) Retrieving option - Subject only Keep on server - checked My address - [email protected] User name - [email protected] Password - **my hotmail acc password** POP before SMTP - unchecked SMTP auth. - checked Same as POP3/IMAP4 - unchecked User name - [email protected] Password - **my hotmail acc password**
Some tech info to help problem solve. POP3 is the technology involved with receiving email, SMTP is involved with sending. (Lots of people saying they could receive but not send, but their SMTP settings weren't correct)

Your emails (and your email address) is being filtered by the mail server that she is connected to. Your emails may also accidently go to spam or trash folders automatically (outlook will do this). This is especially the case is she has a corporate email (think IBM, HP etc). Try opening a gmail account and sending a simple mail with not much in the subject line.

Be sure that only one instance of Outlook is running.
You can verify this by openning the tasks manager and ordering process alphabetically.
Kill all redondant Outlook processes.
