Can the iPhone only pull inbox mail and not all unread mail?

Yahoo correctly filters my mail into inbox and spam. The iPhone pulls ALL unread mail rather than just that from the inbox. Anyway to fix this?

What is unread except for what is in your Inbox mailbox?
Are you accessing a free Yahoo account with the iPhone's Mail client, and did you use the Yahoo account preset when creating your Yahoo account?
If so, the Yahoo account preset on an iPhone creates the account as an IMAP account with the iPhone's Mail client. With an IMAP account, the email client used to access the account keeps all server stored mailboxes for the account synchronized with the server. All messages received by the account, and available in the account's Inbox mailbox on the server, will be available in the account's Inbox mailbox with the iPhone's Mail client - which keeps the mailbox synchronized with the server. If spam is received at the server and is available in the account's Inbox mailbox at the server, the same messages will be available in the account's Inbox mailbox with the iPhone's Mail client. This is how an IMAP account works.
With a POP account, any messages that remain in the account's Inbox mailbox at the server will be downloaded when accessing the account with a new email client, and will be shown as unread when downloaded by a new email client used to access the account. This is also normal for a POP account when accessing the account with a new email client.
The iPhone's Mail client does not included a spam filter. Even if it did, new messages received at the server and available in the account's Inbox mailbox at the server will be downloaded - spam and all - which is the same for any email client.

    I have more music than that and more apps, and I have a 32GB model with about 15GB free, so I would suggest the 32GB.

    How do I transfer ALL my photos from iphone to photo stream? I have just turned on my photo stream on my PC and it only copied some photos and not all of them.

    Photo Stream will only transfer photos taken in the last thirty days.
    Connect your iPhone to your PC and transfer the photos manually.

  • How do I print only the events of a particular calendar, and not all the days in between listed?

    I am working on a MacBook Pro.  I have multiple calendars in my calendar.  I am able to figure out how to print a list of events for a particular calendar, but the list includes listing all the dates in between as well.  For example, I'd like to print a list of presentations I have coming up over the next 5 months.  That yields a 9 page document.  Although there may be only one presentation on a particular page, it also lists all the calendar dates, even if it doesn't have an event.  Does this make sense?
    Does anyone know how to deal with this?
    Thanks!

    Remember that the month is only the display, and the Full Date & Time is still there. If I change the format to reveal what is behind the curtain:

  • Please help me to figure out how to add my device to iTunes as I cannot get it to automatically sync.  I think the machine only recognizes my phone and not my iPod classic.

    Please help me out.  My iTunes does not recognize my iPod classic as a device and I don't know how to add it.  Since it does not appear in my list of preferences I am unable to sync my tunes to the device.

    Hello Kathryn165,
    The following article would be a good starting point for diagnosing and sorting the source of the trouble with iTunes and your iPod.

  • Just bought nano 6th gen, it won't turn in all directions, I have a wrist band for it, but the display only turns in two directions, not all 4. What do I need to do?

    I just bought an iPod nano 6th gen. I bought one earlier and returned it bc of the same problem. So I am thinking there is something I have missed. It's advertised to turn with you no matter which way you turn the nano. Mine only turns up or down. I have a wrist band so I can wear it as a watch, but I have to hold my wrist funny to read it bc it doesn't turn like a normal watch would be facing. Please help!

    Using two fingers, you can rotate the screen on the Nano 6th Generation in any direction you wish.

  • Why there are only few Hindi movies and not all or New Movies in theater.

    I bought apple TV after checking that apple has hindi movies section. I did not know that they have only few movies. I wanted to watch double dhamaal which is in cinema only. I believe Apple TV may have it as well. The list even does not show all hindi movies released in 2011 so far.
    Please comment, or please update me with any development on this matter.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Almost all movies have to have been on at the cinema for a period of time (usually 6 months - I think) before they are offered on the Apple TV (or any online service for that matter)
    Try using the search feature to look for movies, you will find many more titles available than just browsing the top movie sections.
    You may also find that some movies are available as SD only, you won't see these movies unless you change your iTunes store purchase settings to SD.

  • HT4191 iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad?  If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.

    iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad?  If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.  I've seen reference to the  "My iPhone" local storage put no mention on how you create this folder or access this folder within the Notes app.  I realize storing information in a local storage like this provides no syncing between other iDevices but that is exactly what I'm looking for.  I'm running iOS7.0.4 on a iPhone 5S, and a iPad Air.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.

  • How do I only show my inbox on email and not all the support folders

    How do I only show my inbox on email and not all the support folders

    There is a third-party program called Attachment Tamer that will do that for you.  In the Terminal, you can type this:
    defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes
    Also note that while Attachment Tamer does some things with the encoding that makes certain email clients display the item as an attachment, what shows up at the receiver's end is solely dependent on their email client and its settings.
