A problem with Yahoo Email (not iPhones fault)?

Will Yahoo fix their email problem soon? I like having the "push" feature (when it works!)
I have 3 email accounts set up on my iPhone. Yahoo, Gmail, and my Road Runner. I sent all 3 an email from my work computer (via my work email). In a matter of 2 minutes the Gmail & Road Runner email showed up on my iPhone (must have been close to the 15 minute check for email time). The Yahoo is still missing in action.
As I'm typing this email... a test email I sent 1 hour 5 minutes ago finally showed up in my Yahoo account.
Also, I signed onto hotmail, gmail, and yahoo all on my computer. I sent an email to my work email... the Gmail and Hotmail arrived at my work inbox in less than 2 minutes. Still waiting (been 45 minutes) for the Yahoo email to show up. Again, these emails originated via my computer (not iPhone), and there is still a problem with my Yahoo. My computer is a PC running win XP PRO (if that matters)

I am having the same problem. You have to log into your Yahoo.com webmail everyday and send an email to anyone. You will be asked to enter some anti-spam security letters and numbers. Do this only once each day before you use your iPhone mail.app and it should work. I am angry at both Apple and Yahoo for letting this happen. Apple has an obligation to make the mail.app work (push mail) with any IMAP account, not just Yahoo's. Hpoefully in the next software update. For now, I have to check my IMAP and POP mail either manually or at a set interval.

  • Print problem with Yahoo email

    Ever since upgrading to Safari Version 7.0.1 (9537.73.11), I have had several different problems with printing emails.  For the time being, let me ask here about only my AT&T Yahoo mail.
    Here is the description of the problem in Yahoo.  When I pull down the “Actions” menu to “Print Message,” I get this dialog box:
                      Print Error
                      There was a problem printing, most likely caused by a pop-up blocker. Please click Try Again.
    Try Again
    So I click the button labeled “Try Again,” and Safari opens the email in a new window with a “Print” tool in the upper left corner. 
    I click the “Print” tool.  With multi-page emails, I like printing on both sides.  I choose either,
    Print Two-sided, or
    Print either odd or even pages.
    With the former option Safari prints one page of the email and stalls.  With the latter Safari prints the whole series of selected pages and stalls.  My printer (HP LaserJet Professional P1102w) refuses to print any more pages.  I have to go into my printer’s application and stop the print job.  Then I have to turn off the printer, wait a while for the machine to re-set, and turn it back on.  Then I can print the remaining page or pages.
    That’s inefficient. Is there some remedy to get Safari to print emails in Yahoo straight through?

    Problems like that with Firefox printing look like they are fixed in Firefox 4.

  • Problems With Yahoo Email

    I've had problems with my yahoo email account since I got my iPhone about a month ago. Looking through the threads on this support forum, it appears that these problems are shared with other people using Yahoo email with the iPhone. It seems there are three main problems:
    1. _*Push Email Doesn't Work*_: Despite the fact that push email with yahoo has been advertised as a selling point for the iPhone, it doesn't work reliably. Sometimes it works and you're notified immediately when a new email arrives, and sometimes it doesn't work and a new email won't show up until you go in and manually check for new messages.
    2. _*Emails Don't Send*_: You compose a message, hit send, you hear the sent message sound, but it doesn't get sent. It doesn't show up in the sent messages folder and the recipient doesn't receive the message. This happens to me about once a day, and the solution appears to be to delete the yahoo email account and then recreate it. After this, sending emails will work again, but only for a certain amount of time and then it stops.
    3. *_Emails Get Deleted_*: This is the worst problem of all. This has happened to me about half a dozen times in the month I've had my iPhone. I go to check my mail, the messages are there, but after it retrieves messages, some of the emails immediately disappear. They're gone for good. They're not in the trash or on the server.
    In this forum, there are several threads dealing with each of these issues, and several hundred posts from users saying they are experiencing the same problems. There also appears to be no solution to any of these problems. In fact, neither Apple nor Yahoo have even acknowledged that these problems exist.
    I finally decided to abandon my Yahoo email account. I waited for the 1.1.2 upgrade to see if that would solve the problems, but it appears not. I'm now using another IMAP account on my iPhone and I sent messages to all my contacts telling them to use this new account from now on. My advice to anyone using the iPhone is to not use Yahoo email account. There's just way too much frustration and it seems Apple and Yahoo are not even working on a solution.

    I agree with Ifan and the Yahoo people. I think it has to do with the Iphone more than the Yahoo network. Since when I sent my mail, sometimes I don't even see the 'sent" mail in my outbox locally. Which really means it never left my Iphone. Secondly, I noticed sometimes when I go to the Safari settings and delete the history, cookies and cache, I could send again. Thirdly, since mail sends and sometimes doesn't, it means it CAN send. Just that your Iphone varied in its settings. Well, there's only a few things that fluntuates in your iPhone, connection, software update and memory. I think
    the memory, and more specifically the cache whether DNS or Safari cache need deleting regularly.
    Here's my hit-all-the-notes approach:
    -first sync everything with your computer as back up
    -go to mail setting in your iphone, delete your yahoo account
    -important : on itunes under the Iphone "info" tab, uncheck "sync with mail server"
    -RESTORE your iphone. Now you have the latest updated software
    -sync your info again
    -re-setup yahoo mail (make sure you have yahoo mail Plus / pro)
    -turn off Wi-Fi settings on the phone
    -set up your mail options so that you are doing everything locally
    -have a habit of deleting emails (also from trash) as you go, since they are on your server already
    -turn off your phone every night you go to bed, and after each time you turned Wi-Fi and off
    -clear history, cache and cookies under Safari settings after prolonged use
    -when you hit send, do not leave that window right way, wait for a minute
    Good luck and let me know if it works.
    Hope it helps.

  • TS3899 Problems with Yahoo emails since upgrade.

    My Yahoo emails keep showing as unread after iOS 7.02installed even when read, any ideas?

    Do you see an error when trying to receive mail? If not, then it is probably a Yahoo issue. They are infamous for having problems and servers going down in the iOS Mail program. Check with them.

  • Problem with Yahoo email on Q10

    I've had my Q10 since June and haven't had a problem receiving and sending email.  I have 3 different email accounts on it; one is a Yahoo account.
    Yesterday I started having trouble with my Yahoo email.  I replied to a message and it showed that it went but the person never received it.  I did test messages to my other account and now the email is not going at all.
    I have deleted and reinstalled the account several times and have tried the validation tool.  
    This is very frustrating!
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you!

    Using the email validation tool, did you get any errors?
    When you install the Yahoo account to your Q10, it accepts your email address and password and sets up the account?

  • HT5361 Problems with @mac email NOT being received by others

    Recently people that I have been sending email to and they are in my address book have NOT been receiving a new email from my @mac.com account.  The emails are in my Sent folder and show they have been sent.  If someone sends me an email and I reply everyone sees it.  But not a new email.  Any thoughts on what I can do to find the problem? 
    I've cleaned up my email, rebuilt my inboxes.  Please help!!  I use my @mac for all my business! 
    Oh - this happens no matter where I send the email from - iphone 5 or Ipad or macbook pro.
    Thank you,
    K

    Hi,
    Part of the final question will depend on how you got to have the various email IDs
    If you had an .Mac account and therefore the @mac.com email and then Linked this to @me.com in MobileMe then people can send to either and it will turn up in your mail box.
    The same is true if you then linked the MobileMe @me.com to the iCloud account which moved the @me.com address to iCloud and may have latter given you the @iCloud.com.
    In this case people could send to any of the three IDs and they will be received in your In box.
    You should be able to login to iCloud (the web page) with any of the IDs (they all use the same password) and view the mail from there.
    There should not really be any problem sending from one type of account compared to another.
    I am not aware of any filtering either by Apple on older @mac.com IDs or Google not accepting them.
    In the Window Menu of Mail there is the Connection Doctor which may give further clues.

  • Help - Strange Problem with Yahoo email on my 3G iphone

    When I send email from my yahoo account - very often the recipient gets multiple copies - sometimes as many as 5 copies. Sometimes they only get one copy. But usually they get multiple copies. I have been to the ATT store a few times trying to get this cleared up but no one can figure out why this happens and what to do about it.
    Does anyone else have this problem.
    Does anyone know why and what to do?

    Using the email validation tool, did you get any errors?

  • Problems with comcast email on iphone

    Had problems sending emails from my iphone and ipad through Comcast. Apple could not solve the problem, contacted Comcast and they stated that they had issues with the Apple iphone and ipad and told me to download the "Xfinity connect ap" did so and everything works better than before.  When I used the Apple email had to trash what I did not want on Apple and then when I went to Comcast the email were still there.  Using the xfinity ap, when I delete on the iphone or the ipad the emails are deleted at all places.  Before I had to delete on my iphone and then my ipad and then when i went to my computer they were still there and I had to delete there also, which was a real pain. Still can send and rec email from my icloud account, but comcast email are handled through xfinity connect

    my point is what i stated. maybe i posted in the wrong forum. SORRY.  I was only trying to help. No it is probably not Apples problem but the Apple people did not know what to do or did not have a solution to the problem.  I spent hours trying to straighten it out on line and with apple personel with no results, Apple employees did not have a solution to the problem.  Like I said Sorry, but it cost me hours trying to straighten it out.  I had used it for 2 yrs and then it stopped working, I figured Apple had a solution but they did not, and wasted a lot of my time.

  • Help-problem with Yahoo mails in iPhone 4S

    Hi
    I just upgraded from 3s to 4s. Everything is working except Mails.  I have the alarm system at home and have it set up to send emails including photos to my Yahoo account whenever it detects motion. It sends a lot of emails per day including different pictures from different cameras.  On my iPhone 4s, when it read these emails, it constantly show the same picture from first mail.  All other emails, although the pictures should be different, but the same picture is showing.  Power off and on the phone does not solve the issue.
    I don't have this issue on iPhone 3s and iPad.
    Thanks

  • Problem with icloud emails on iphone 4...HELP!!

    My iphone 4 is, for some reason, no longer letting me view my icloud emails. It is receiving new mail as normal and i can see the sender and the title/first line of text but the email itself will not load. This has been going on for a couple of weeks. I've tried removing my icloud account from the phone and puuting it back on but to no avail! Any ideas?

    My bookmarks also have vanished.

  • Yahoo Mail push problem with stock email app

    It is nice to see that Verizon is offering push services for yahoo mail (and possibly for others as well, I only tried yahoo) on select phones now, the Droid Charge being one of them. If you add a yahoo account in the stock email app, it configures it through "Verizon email gateway server" and the messages will be pushed to the phone just like gmail had been, and you will get your new messages almost instantaneously.
    I previously had an htc incredible and that phone did not have that feature. My e-mails were being checked at an interval that I could select, but not pushed.
    What this email gateway does is (as I understand it): 1) your phone sends your credentials to the gateway server where they are stored, 2) the server connects to yahoo mail servers with your credentials, and 3) whenever there is a new message, the gateway server retrieves and pushes it to your phone, in other words it pretty much acts as the middle man that has a notification capability. The gateway server only accesses your inbox folder and it only does incoming services. For other things such as sending messages or checking other folders, your phone connects to yahoo mail servers directly. My incredible on the other hand used to connect to yahoo mail servers directly for everything including inbox access and unfortunately those servers do not have the push capability to mobile devices.
    I got the Charge over two weeks ago and enjoyed push on yahoo for about ten days. But then suddenly it stopped working. It would no longer update my inbox even when I selected refresh through the menu. If I went into other folders, they would update and I could send emails. However, my inbox would not update. I waited a day, then I went into settings/apps/manage apps and deleted the cache and data of the mail application to fix a possible glitch. (It works on the market app when all of your downloaded apps disappear from the list every once in a while due to a glitch)
    I ended up with a blank inbox that couldn't download any of the messages. Then I removed the yahoo account and tried to readd. Now I get the "Fetching mailbox failed, retrying. . ." error and sometimes it retries for up to a half hour (until I manually stop it) or sometimes it says "Unable to connect to server" after a couple of minutes.
    Following is a list of things I tried:
    1) Set up a different Yahoo account:
    Works without a glitch, push enabled
    2) Try the original email account with wrong password:
    Gives a credential error, so password authentication is not the problem
    3) Manual configuration through selecting "Others" rather than "Yahoo Mail" in the add account menu:
    Unchecking "Use Verizon email gateway" makes it work, but without push. My phone is able to connect to Yahoo servers directly with the same exact settings
    I am pretty sure the problem is with the Verizon gateway server having a glitch with my email account. So someone in charge of that server has to go through the list of accounts set up and either reset or delete mine, so I can set it up again through my phone.
    I called Verizon support the other day and finally talked to a level 2 rep after having to do the restart, take battery out and all that nonsense. It took them a while to understand the actual situation. It's not their fault really, my problem is complicated and a level 2 rep simply does not have that kind of knowledge. They tried to connect me to Samsung representatives, which was a waste of time, because there is nothing wrong with the hardware as it works with a different yahoo account with no problems, and it also works when connecting to yahoo directly. After spending two and a half hours on the phone, and after the rep talked to her supervisor and the samsung reps to learn more about the verizon gateway server, she finally told me I was right about the issue, and assured me that they would fix it and call me within two hours.
    It has been two days, I haven't heard a thing.
    What frustrates me is that there wasn't a single person there who could even grasp what could be causing the issue. They had never heard about the email gateway, I had to explain to them. I am not mad that the level 2 rep or her supervisor didn't know, but I am pretty **bleep** that they could not put me in touch with a person who did.
    I know there is at least one person at Verizon who manages the gateway server, but the question is how can anyone contact him???
    Verizon keeps offering these new services that are really cool for the most part, but their support system is very disconnected from their engineers/technical staff. The customer service is unable to fix problems other than billing issues, and their answer for everything else is to "take the battery out and restart the phone".
    For now, I set up my account manually, without the Verizon email gateway, so I don't have "push" working. It's a shame because it is such an easy thing to fix only if I could get in touch with the right person.

    UPDATE:
    After waiting for about ten days, I tried setting up my e-mail the regular way (by selecting yahoo mail) again yesterday. To my surprise, it went through without a glitch. I guess the cache of the gateway server must have been reset.
    I have been enjoying push for yahoo mail for the last 24 hours again. But I just noticed now, that the problems might be starting again. There are recent e-mails that don't show up on my phone, but do through yahoo's web mail page. When I select "refresh" through the menu on the phone, I see the circle in the top corner spinning for as long as I wait, but the e-mails don't get downloaded. That is exactly how my problems had started in the first place. I will give it the benefit of the doubt and wait and hope that it fixes itself.
    There might be a compatibility problem with yahoo servers and the verizon email gateway because I have two gmail accounts set up with the stock e-mail the same way, both using verizon's gateway server for push, and they have both been working with no problems for almost a month. (Even though sometimes the "push" is delayed by up to 5-10 min, most of the time it is within a couple of minutes and that's fine, I'm not that picky) And when I do "refresh", ti only takes a few seconds to complete the request.
    And I still haven't heard anything from Verizon.

  • I'm having problems with excessive email usage on my iphone 4/ios 7. Just noticed that (settings/usage) it was using 900  mb. I deleted all my mail, deleted the mail account, and it still says it's using 661 mb. My ipad uses a fraction of that.

    I'm having problems with excessive email usage on my iphone 4/ios 7. Just noticed that it (settings/usage) was using 900+ mb. I deleted all my mail, deleted the mail account, turned the phone off and back on, downloaded any remaining mail on the server to Outlook on my computer, and it still says it's using 661 mb. My ipad uses a fraction of that.
    Background: I recently (December) bought an ipad and set up icloud for contacts and calendar, but NOT mail. My email provider is Verizon. I use computer, iphone, and ipad to check my email; eventually I download it from the server using Outlook on the computer and then delete any remaining emails from the phone and ipad. I can't find info on this problem anywhere.

    Howdy there COUGAR444,
    It sounds like your iPad all of a sudden seems to be restarting out of no where. If you haven't called AppleCare yet, I would start with quitting either the app that seems to be causing the issue, or all the apps if a single doesn't seem to be the culprit. 
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes, then restore it as new and verify that it works. 
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself. 
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • Downloaded latest update ios 5.1.1.last night - now have problem with my email some being sent others not - any ideas?

    Downloaded latest update for iphone 4 ios 5.1.1. last night - now having problems with my emails - all show being sent - but not being received also no b.c.c. to myself coming up on iphone.  Any ideas?? 

    The passcode settings simply give you the option of having the passcode lock immediately you lock the screen, or after a delay period.  If you set a delay the passcode lock will not activate for the period of the delay.  I have mine set to one minute.  It is a "convenience" measure to save me having to re-enter the passcode if I lock the screen then immediately remember that there was something else I wanted to do.  Obviously this entails a small compromise on security and if you are at all concerned then you should set the passcode to "Immediately".  It really has nothing to do with the camera short-cut (though loads of users seem to have run away with this notion).  It would be the same if you just did "slide to unlock" during the delay period.
