Deleting Email from Yahoo Account

I have tried searching the previous discussions before asking this question. Please excuse the redundancy if you have seen it before.
I have a Yahoo POP email account linked to Mail. It seems to be sending and receiving properly. When I delete an email in Mail I would like it to also delete the email in Yahoo. I have tried deleting the email in Mail and deleting the trash. I still cannot get the original email in Yahoo to delete. Are my expectations too high?
Thanks, Brandon.

Have you checked the following:
First, check your settings in Mail preferences - Click on Advanced Tab and choose "immediately" under the "remove copy from server after retrieving a message";
If the problem persists, check settings within your online Yahoo account settings.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

IPhone 4 deleting email from Yahoo server

Just upgraded to iPhone 4 from the original one. Noticed that when I delete email from my Yahoo account, the messages are also deleted from the server and can not be retrieved from my iMac/iBook. This did NOT happen with my old iPhone. Tried re-entering my Yahoo account but it is still happening. Any suggestions? Thanks

Found the solution. Delete the Yahoo account. Create a new "Yahoo" account using the "Other" e-mail account setting. Called it "Yahoo1". After providing the normal Yahoo set-up information, my iPhone went into the "verifying" mode and after some time (checking the settings with Yahoo) it created the account on my iPhone. Went to the "advanced" setting and got a different screen then with the original Yahoo account. This screen had an option "delete from server", which I set for never and now everything is working fine.
Again, I did NOT get this screen when using the normal default Yahoo account set-up. Only using "other" did I get this option.

Cannot send email from yahoo account on iPhone 5

I just got an iPhone5 and I couldn't set up my Yahoo email as "yahoo"--it would not allow me to complete the process despot multiple attempts. I had to set it up as an "other" account. I can receive and read emails on my phone, but when I reply those messages will not send. They go to the outbox and an error message pops up that says" the email account has been rejected by the server" Does anyone have advice on either issue: setting up yahoo properly and/or sending email from phone?

outgoing mail server
SMTP - Yahoo! SMTP Server
primary server
Yahoo! SMTP server - ON
server port 465
That's what I have for my yahoo account.

Cannot delete email from POP account

I have a POP mail account. Several emails keep coming in my inbox over and over. I have deleted them on the POP server. I have deleted them from my inbox & trash. I have rebuild my mail. I have unchecked store deleted messages on the server, saved, rechecked & run the rebuild. I have tried moving the messages to a folder & then when it gets new mail, that folder is empty & they are back in the inbox. Help this is driving me nuts

try rebuilding the entire mail index. quit mail and move the file homedirectory/library/mail/Envelope Index to the desktop. start mail and let it import (that means reindex). see if the messages stay deleted now.

Can't send receive email from Yahoo account or send from .mac account

On 5/1, when launching Mail, it asked me to update to new settings or use old settings. I should have kept the old settings. Instead, I had to set up all of my email accounts again. Everything is working except receiving mail from my Yahoo account. Also, I can receive mail from my .mac account, but can't send from it. These accounts are working fine on my iPhone. Is there a way to restore old email settings? Anyone else having this problem?

Hi Jeffrey,
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
Is there a way to restore old email settings?
Only with a backup or Manually redoing it/them, which may or may not lose the mail you have.

TS3899 trouble deleting emails from yahoo

I can't seem to search for a series of emails in yahoo, then delete them? I check off all emails and hit delete and the check marks go away and nothing gets deleted.

It seems that a restart has fixed this issue. No more problems with the swipe delete.

HT4859 I deleted emails from my account that had my notes in them. I had a LOT of very important notes. Is there a way I can recover my notes from iCloud? The notes were saved in a gmail account and I emptied the trash. Are my notes saved "Somewhere?"

I have an iPhone 4s. I did not know if I deleted my notes from my gmail account, they would also be erased from my notes. My last backup was in April, however I have added a LOT of notes since then.
Please help me

I have a similar problem But I am on the iCloud. From what I understand and been reading is the only way to retieve the the note is to get a thrid party recovery software to dig it out of the hard drive. Yes?

Deleting emails from my yahoo account

I have an issue when deleting emails from my yahoo account on my Mac. For some reason, I'll highlight the email(s) I want to delete, and hit the delete key. The email won't delete until it's highlighted again and I hit delete again. It has been doing this for a while and only does it when I access Yahoo on my Mac, and only my yahoo account. Does anybody have an idea of what might be the issue?

Are you using Mac Mail or going straight to Yahoo Mail using your browser...?
I never use Mac Mail so can't offer much help with it. If you are, try going straight to Sign in to Yahoo from your browser and see if you can correctly delete any unwanted messages that way.

My iPhone 5 suddenly started re-downloading all previously deleted emails from my POP accounts

Yesterday, my iPhone 5 started re-downloading all previously deleted emails from my POP email accounts. I use the native Mail app and have three POP emails set up on my phone. The number of messages downloaded across all of them is over 1,000 so far and date back over several months. One of these is a Yahoo account, the others are work email accounts provided by two different hosting companies. I have not changed anything on any of these three accounts at the server/hosting level. I also run an IMAP account on my phone, which has not been affected, so this is obviously a POP-only issue. I started to delete the messages only to discover that older messages were downloaded in their place. There appears to be a cap of 250 messages downloaded at a time, but there's no way to change this in the phone's settings (this used to be a feature, but disappeared some time ago).
I'm on iOS8.3 (upgraded a month ago with no affect on email). I have not changed any of my phone's email settings, so I don't understand why this has happened out of the blue. I have checked the phone's email settings and there doesn't seem to be a way to limit the number of messages downloaded.
Does anyone know:
a. why this has happened, and
b. how I get it to stop?
Thanks!

Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

Also got to your Yahoo mail and check your settings there.

My ipad does not update emails from yahoo, it does for other accounts though! please help!

I have tried all the tricks such as, restarting ipad, or deleting and recreating yahoo account or changing mail settings ....
I receive email updates on my iphone and emails from gmail come in as well!
I get a message as: CANNOT GET MAIL / THE CONNECTION TO THE SERVER FAILED
I have wifi connection

It is easy to control which photo app opens with your iOS device if you have a Mac. Connect your iOS device to the Mac with the USB cable, open the free Apple app Image Capture, highlight your iOS device in the list on the left and in the bottom left corner select the behavior that you wish to have happen when the iOS device is connected to your Mac. You can also do as I do and configure it so that no photo app opens.
