IPad Mail not loading all message from Yahoo mail after installing iOS5

Yesterday I had Mail (on my iPad 1) set up for my wife and I (to retrieve Yahoo mail) while still under iOS 4.3.3 and it worked perfectly! ! !
Last night the iPad installed iOS5. Now on my wife's Mail, it shows 2 emails and asks to "Load More Messages. . ." 19 total, 4 unread". I tap the sentences, it act like it is going to do it but nothing. No change.
I have deleted the the Mail settings, powered OFF the iPad, relaunched it and the added the Yahoo mail account information all over again. I have done this 3 times but nothing has changed. Mail still won't retrieve all the Yahoo emails.
Please help!
Thanks,
John

I would try changing the Remove copy from server after retrieving a message: setting to After one day instead. You may think this is weird, because it can only make the problem worse, right? Well, maybe not.
Maybe what is happening is that Mail encounters connection problems from time to time that prevent it from deleting certain messages right after being downloaded, and it doesn't try again after that. By telling Mail to remove the messages after some time, you're telling it to keep track of which messages have already been downloaded and must be removed. Mail will look for messages to be removed from the server each time it connects to it for downloading new messages. If it cannot remove them for some reason, it will try again at the next connection attempt...

Mail not getting all messages from server and other strange behavior

Hello All,
Mail has been doing some odd things for me of late (at least the last week) and I'm lost for a solution to my problem. As far as I can tell, perhaps my Prefs. have become corrupted, or at least something in relation to Mail has become corrupted. Perhaps someone has a solution to this issue before I have to back it all up and NUKE the whole **** app to get back up and running properly.
The main issue I appear to be having is that Mail is not getting all of my Mail messages from my server. I can log into my web-mail interface provided by my domain host and can see there that there are many e-mails that don't appear to be coming down the pipe to the Mail.app client. I'm getting some e-mail's but not all....
*Here are all the things that I've checked:*
• The missing e-mails are not being picked up as Junk and are not in the Junk folder
• I have done a search within Mail for the missing e-mail's and nothing turns up anywhere.
• I have checked on the server end that I'm not maxing out my InBox or that there are any other service issues from my domain host provider.
• I have been into Prefs and checked my account settings - most (see below) of which appear to be as normal and are fine.
*Here are the weird things that I've noticed:*
• When I went into the Prefs. for the account in question, I noticed that my login had changed. For example - it usually it is "[email protected]", however it had seemed to have changed to just "johndoe" - I know this wasn't me as my domain host will not allow me to access any mail unless the login is the full mail address.
• In RULES, every rule I double click to check on seems mostly fine, apart from the fact that every "Account is:" the pull down menu just appears as blank. Usually it says "Account is: ([email protected])"
It's there last 2 items that make me think something is corrupted - so I guess my question is, what pref or file has corrupted and how can I fix it without having to give Mail.app a digital enema?
Any assistance would be most helpful - missing some but not all your incoming e-mail messages is quite annoying, as you can guess...!
Thanks,
Boz

Hello Boz.
This appears to be a rules issue. Mail is almost certainly downloading those messages, but they’re probably being processed by your rules in an unexpected way — given the information you’ve provided, maybe because there is something wrong with the file where the account settings are stored.
Do you have any Mail plug-ins? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/Mail/Bundles/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
To make accurately reporting this information easier, you may open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>. You can then copy the output of that command from Terminal and paste it in your reply to this post:
ls -1 /Library/InputManagers /Library/Mail/Bundles ~/Library/InputManagers ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
<hr>
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, and ensuring that there’s enough space available on the startup disk (a few GB, plus the space needed to make a backup copy of the Mail folder), try this:
1. Write down your Mail > Preferences > Accounts settings or take screen shots of them.
2. If you have a .Mac account and .Mac synchronization of Mail data is enabled either in Mail > Preferences > General or in System Preferences > .Mac, disable it before proceeding.
3. Quit Mail.
4. Make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong while trying to solve the problem. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the Mail folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is locally stored.
5. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Locate com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop (to be deleted if this solves the problem). If you have a backup of your data that includes a working copy of this file, you may try restoring it from the backup to avoid steps 6-8.
6. Open Mail. You’ll have to set up your non-.Mac accounts from scratch all over again. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in ~/Library/Mail/ when done.
7. You’ll have to re-configure some of your Mail > Preferences settings. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
8. As a side effect of re-creating com.apple.mail.plist, Mail might rename Outbox (which is where messages waiting to be sent are stored) to Delivered. The name of that mailbox is actually a misnomer, as it would contain messages (if any) that couldn’t be delivered for some reason. You can delete that mailbox if you wish.
9. If the problem is fixed now and .Mac synchronization of Mail data was enabled at the beginning, enable it again, go to System Preferences > .Mac > Advanced, click Reset Sync Data, and choose the appropriate options to reset the Mail data stored on the .Mac server with the data locally stored on the computer, i.e. sync data must flow from the computer to the .Mac server.
<hr>
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

Mail not getting all messages from Inbox

I get my email via Gmail using POP. For several months I have noticed that I can only download about 11 messages at a time, even if more are on the server. I have to rehit "Check mail" button until I get them all. It is rather annoying and sometimes leads to me missing messages that should have been downloaded. I cannot figure out how to fix this. I went to the Genius Bar and they could not figure it out. I have trashed the prefs files and that does not help. If I set up a new User it works fine, so clearly there is something awry in my User account or Mail folder, but I have too much organized and setup in Mail to just start afresh. Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
p.s. This happens no matter the ISP I am on. I travel and it is the same everywhere.

Mail has stopped retrieving messages from Yahoo

Mail has stopped retrieving messages from Yahoo email account. I deleted the account, cleared Safari history and recreated the account. Successfully retrieved all folders and contents of folders but no messages. Watching the Activity, it appeared to be retrieving the messages but none appear. Looking at the log, I can see FETCH error server. Not sure where to go from here to resolve the issue. Thanks for your help.

Based on what I've read in the forum, Yahoo mail has been having some problems.

Importing mailboxes & old messages from yahoo mail

Hi.
I have just figured out how to get mail to send/receive messages from my .yahoo mail account.
Now I have the problem that i have hundreds of messages sat in my yahoo account that i want to import into mail, but i really can't find a way to do it, other than sending them one by one..
Could you tell me if it's possible, and how i go about it?
Many thanks
David Tobin

Hi David.
Not sure what you mean. If Mail is downloading mail received on that account, it should have downloaded all the messages there, not just the new ones -- unless it’s organized in folders on the server, that is. POP mail clients can only see the messages that are in Inbox. Could that be the problem?

Ipad contacts not displaying all fields from mac address book, ipad contacts not displaying all fields from mac address book

After syncing mac address book to ipad contacts, the ipad does not display all the fields that were in Mac address book (in my case all the email addresses). Anyone have a fix?

I have a problem similar to DeeRun's.. I would like the IM fields to be synced.. I use them to send e-mails to when the e-mail field is empty or when i just want to use that specific address.. Very annoying, would take hours if not days to transfer all those IM adresses to e-mail fields in addressbook..
EDIT: not to mention the mess it would make in my address book!

My iPad will not load my photos from my pictures using ios5 iTunes. Works fine with my iPod. Does the fact I have photos taken on my iPad have any impact?

My iPad does not load my pictures folders from iTunes. It works fine to my iPod. I am using ios5 and a pc, does the fact I have photos taken on my iPad got anything to do with it?

Having photos that you took with the iPsd has nothing to do with this at all.
When you sync photos to the iPad, you can select one main photo folder only - as described above - using the sync photos from heading within the photos tab of iTunes. You can have one level of sub folders within that main folder as well that you can sync to the iPad.
All of the photos must remain selected to sync each time or the unselected photos will be erased from the device.
Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the Photos Tab on the right.
Click on the "Sync Photos From" heading and navigate to the pictures folder on your computer that you want to sync.
Click on all of the sub folders within that main photos folder that you want to sync. You can select as many sub folders within that main folder that you want to put on the iPad as long as you use one level of folders only in the main photos folder.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes

IPad Safari not loading all images in website

Besides iOS 4.2.1 slowing things down and frequently crashing apps. I've been having problems with websites I browse with lots of large images. The iPad has problems loading all the images on a single page with bluebox ? coming up instead of the actual images. Reloading and site does nothing to fix it. Browsing done on WiFi but no problem in desktop safari on the same WiFi network.

I do not have an iPad, but this url has been reported to me as having this issue:

Mac Mail deleted inbox messages from yahoo mail, how to get them back?

I recently started using the Mac Mail client with my yahoo-plus email account.
What Mac Mail did was delete ALL inbox messages from my yahoo account, after one week from importing them to Mac Mail.
The inbox messages can still be found in the Mac Mail inbox, but not in yahoo's inbox.
I was wondering if there is a way to retrieve these deleted messages back to my yahoo inbox.
Also, I was wondering about the sync feature on the Mac Mail and what will actually happen if I use it. Does it apply to mail messages, or to address book and calendar entries?
I would appreciate you help on this issue.

The Yahoo server did exactly what you Mail program told it to do.
Mail/Preferences/Account/Advanced - This setting is adjustable for each mail account.
I didn't know about this feature until it was too late. I have already unchecked it for future emails.
I was wondering if there is a way to retrieve these deleted messages back to my yahoo inbox.
Not Really, you could forward them to your account, after you've told your mail program not to delete the emails at all, but they will show up as being from you instead of the original sender. The originals at Yahoo have been dumped and probably purged. It would take an IT manager at Yahoo to manually replace the emails, not much chance of that.
I've already asked yahoo to "restore" my inbox to a day ago. That should help me with retrieving some of the messages back, I hope.
Also, I was wondering about the sync feature on the Mac Mail and what will actually happen if I use it. Does it apply to mail messages, or to address book and calendar entries?
The sync feature refers to IMAP email accounts like .Mac or .Me or an Imap gmail account. I didn't think Yahoo offered IMAP email accounts.
Apple's MobileMe membership will let you sync your Mail, AddressBook, Calender, personal website with iWeb, etc.
"MobileMe is a service that pushes new email, contacts, and calendar events over the air to all your devices. So your iPhone, Mac, and PC stay in perfect sync."
http://www.apple.com/mobileme/
I wanted to use Mac Mail, see if I liked it or not, then decide to get a MobileMe account. However, this is still a side note, since my yahoo account is my main email client.
You seem to be very well informed, and I was wondering if I can ask you to clarify a point for me. Do you know how to archive the inbox in the Mac Mail?
And thank you for answering my queries.

Apple Mail Not Showing Inbox Unread Count on Dock after installing Mavericks

After installing Mavericks, my Apple Mail (connected to my work's Gmail account) stopped showing the Inbox's unread count on the dock. I switched it to "all mailboxes" to see if that would make a difference, and the dock shows 7 unread emails when there are actually none. When I switch it back to "Inbox" unread counts, it shows nothing. I've waited 15 minutes after receiving an email to see if it will show an unread message in the dock, but it does not. Does anyone have a fix for this?
Thank you!

Quit your mail entirely, then in terminal do:
mv ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope* ~/Desktop
This moves all your "Envelope Index*" files to your desktop. An alternative is deleting the files, but this allows you to keep them as a temporary back-up (you can delete them at-will later). Also, you can move the files from Finder instead of Terminal, if you prefer.
After the files have been moved, re-open Mail
This should re-load all your email messages, updating/restoring the count
While this works, it does not explain the reason the count goes missing, nor does it ensure that the count won't go missing again in the future, but at least it's a temporary workaround.

Ipad 1 not syncing all photos from icloud

i have just bought an ipad 1 64gb (ios 5.1.1) all works fine but only 120 of the 1000 photos have synced via icloud?
any ideas? do i need to plug into itunes 1st time?
thanks

You should have been syncing photos to a computer to archive them, but it looks like you haven't been syncing via itunes to the computer.
I suspect from your description that you have been using photo stream. This is a service used to sync photos between devices, it's not a storage/archive service. Photos are kept in the stream for up to 30 days, after which they are deleted. If you've been using photo stream, then this is most likely the problem. Unless you've backed up the photos elsewhere, then they are gone. It's too late to use itunes for getting back photos. hopefully they are on some other device or computer.

IPad Mail messages from Apple mail

New ipad getting 10,000 old messages from Apple Mail application (or Comcast server). How do I stop it and get only new messages as of today?

These are emails stored in the Sent folder in Mail, in 2 email accounts. Some are quite old, some recent. In addition, the Mail Inboxes were emptied, leaving only those emails that had been unopened. Those still on the server (I looked at Get Account Info in mail on different Mac to identify which) were downloaded and are in place in the ipad . In short, those lost were emails received and sent, stored locally on the ipad.
When I did the update, it said there was an error so I had to backup and restore, via itunes. I thought emails would be backed up in this proces. I don't use icloud. Thanks

My iPhone 4S won't load email messages from my local carrier. It works sometimes and then won't. The local carrier says it is not them and to contact apple. Been happening since got Kindle Fire. Could this be doing it?

My iphone 4S won't load email messages from my local carrier on a regular basis. It says cannot get mail in use on another device. I thought everything was to sync together? Local carrier tells me it is Apple not them. It's been happening since I got my Kindle Fire about a month ago. Any ideas how to make everything work together????? Does it when kindle is off to sometimes. Thanks.

Hi Maquillage,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would recommend troubleshooting the iPhone by following the instructions in this article:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
Resolution
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
Cheers,
- Ari

Mail is not loading all my aol inbox

I've got mail 4.5. In the past few weeks, mail stopped loading new messages - sproadically. If I click the "get new mail" button, it will search for my gmail accounts but not my aol account. I've had to shut down mail and restart. I also have this account linked to my iphone and ipad - but the problem is only in my imac.
Right now I've got a triangle with an exclamation point next to the mailbox with the alert message :
The following alerts are from the IMAP server for “dsmahnken - AOL Mail”:
115 That mail is not currently available.
Anyone have a similar problem / suggestion / solution? Any help is appreciated

Thanks Greg,
I stumbled into a solution by deleting my account and re-creating it several times. The third time was the charm. Thanks again for answering my query.

It sounds as though a script on the site, or an advertisement, is not working quite right...
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies using either of these. Save any pending work first.
While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
