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 messing up my Gmail account's email (titles/content)

Hello!
Since a couple of days the following problem suddenly occurred:
Mail keeps mixing up my emails. Basically in the preview it shows a certain email title + the intro of the content. However, when I click on this particular email, a entirely different e-mail shows up. In certain cases the preview itself is wrong too: it shows a title with the intro of the content which is not in this email but was taken from another email.
I tried rebuilding the mailbox I'm having this problem with (it is a Gmail account), I tried synchronizing, I tried removing and adding the email address again to my email account but it doesn't change anything. Oh yes and just to let you know, this problem doesn't occur in the web client of Gmail, only on Mail on my Macbook.
Now I have seen some similar the posts on the internet saying it could be a problem with the labels (in the Gmail settings itself), but I don't know to what I should change it in order for Mail to stop mixing up my emails. These are my settings in case it would be important to know.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

You need to log into your Google account and change/check. I just go to my web Goggle mail and then go Settings in the upper right and then to Forwarding and POP/IMAP.
The is also a link that say how to set up the account on different devices/programs.

How do you load all mails?

I added my Gmail account, the iPhone only downloaded 50 mails. I can press "load more messages" but that loads only about 25 new messages. Is there a place to load all at once?

Hey I found this out the yesterday and I was stoked by it. I was previously setting up my GMAIL account on my iphone by going to settings, mail contact calendar and then add account and then just selecting GMAIL. I put in the username and PW and the phone would set it up. The problem i was having was that if i checked my email on my computer then the emails would go away on my phone and what not. So i did some research on the net and i found that if you manually set up the gmail account using IMAP instead of POP3 it will totally work a lot better. Now i get all the emails on both my iPhone and my mac and anything I do on one it does on the other.. Here is the steps i used.
Go here to set up IMAP on the iPHone

Go here to make sure you GMAIL account is set up for IMAP
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77695
I hope this helps. Like i said it works a lot better for me cause anything in my inbox shows on both and anything I do on one reflects on the other.

I am currently volunteering in Uganda, so data is precious. I can no longer afford unlimited data, I pay by MB/GB. All of a sudden Mail has stopped receiving. I wait until about 60meg, but no new mail. Using Gmail. Doctor says connected fine.

I am currently volunteering in Uganda, so data is precious. I can no longer afford unlimited data, I pay by MB/GB. All of a sudden Mail has stopped receiving. I wait until about 60meg, but no new mail. Using Gmail. Connectivity Doctor says connected fine. No probs there. And weirdly, when I want to send an email. I write it, it takes absolutely ages to try to send but as soon as I click disconnect it sends the email. Very odd. I would just love to be able to write all my emails offline and save to drafts/Outbox and then just connect to send and check emails then disconnect again.

I can see that this issue has been quite extensive, and frustrating, and I am so sorry for all that has happened societygirl! I would like to help you work this issue out. Please follow & send me a Direct Message, so I can get your account specifics and help finally bring this to a resolution.
Thank you,

Lion Mail bug is not loading all mail. It continuously downloads.

My exchange email account is working fine and yet my gmail account is the problem. it loads the preview pane but when i select an email nothing loads. every time i open mail it acts as if it is downloading my entire imap account all over again. I have deleted the account and added it again in hopes that it would fix my problems but reading my google email is not possible with this application. back to sparrow.

For what its worth, I found this solution related to mail on another thread. Not exacltly the same issue but close enought that I gave it a try and it seems to have fixed the problem:
From this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3195923?start=0&tstart=0
1. Right click the Finder Folder in the Dock (and a popup menu will appear)
Hope this works for you as it did for me!
Recommended not by me but successfully used by me, here are the steps again...
1. Right click on Finder icon in the Dock
2. Choose "Go to Folder" in the popup menu
3. Type in ~Library
4. Open the Mail folder(s) until you find the V2 folder
5. As opposed to what was recommended, I deleted all files and folders inside the V2 folder
(After all, gmail and iMobile have my mail history and details on file anyway)
6. Restarted MacBook to be sure
7. Started Mail and added my iMobile and gmail accounts... From there the normal world presented itself!

Apple Mail 1.3 and gmail issue. PLEASE HELP!

Hi All,
I just bought a g4 imac for my dad and am trying to set up apple mail for him with his gmail account. I have tried everything and I keep gettin this error no matter if it's set for POP or IMAP.
Applemail 1.3.11 Panther 10.3.9
Please help a brother out..
The POP server “pop.gmail.com” is not responding. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the “Incoming Mail Server” field. If it still doesn’t respond, the server might be temporarily unavailable.
If you continue, you may not be able to receive any email.

I have had a lot of trouble with the Apple Mail application and OS 10.3.9 and finally just downloaded Mozilla's Thunderbird mail program and it automatically set itself up to work with my .mac mail account. Maybe that would work for you too.
You can get Thunderbird here, for free.
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/
Here are a couple of sites that can help you set it up with bells and whistles.

Gmail, Java Mail - SSL Mess

I've read many tutorials, as well as forums, and guides. Many are outdated or just didn't cover SSL at all. I think this SSL business with Gmail appears to be farely recent.
The most helpful guide I've found was here . The SSLNotes for the latest Java Mail.
Here's the code:
    private void sendTxt(String[] call_info) {
        Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());
        try {
            MailSSLSocketFactory sf = new MailSSLSocketFactory();
            sf.setTrustAllHosts(true);
            Properties props = System.getProperties();
            props.setProperty("mail.transport.protocol", "smtps");
            //props.setProperty("mail.host", "smtp.gmail.com");
            props.setProperty("mail.smtps.host", "smtp.gmail.com");
            props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
            props.put("mail.smtp.port", "465");
            //props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.port", "465");
            //props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.class", "javax.net.ssl.SSLSocketFactory");
            //props.put("mail.smtp.socketFactory.fallback", "false");
            props.put("mail.user", "[email protected]");
            props.put("mail.smtp.starttls.enable","true");
            props.put("mail.smtp.ssl.enable", "true");
            props.put("mail.smtp.ssl.checkserveridentity", "true");
            props.put("mail.smtp.ssl.socketFactory", sf);
            Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, new Authenticator() {
                @Override
            protected PasswordAuthentication getPasswordAuthentication() {
                    return new PasswordAuthentication
                    ("[email protected]", "*****");}});
            session.setProtocolForAddress("rfc822", "smtps");
            session.setDebug(true);
            Transport transport = session.getTransport();
            MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);
            msg.setSender(new InternetAddress("[email protected]"));
            msg.setSubject("subject");
            msg.setContent("body", "content");
            msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,
                    new InternetAddress("[email protected]"));
            transport.connect();
            Transport.send(msg);
            transport.close();
        } catch (MessagingException me) {
            System.err.println(me.getMessage());
            me.printStackTrace();
            System.exit(0);
        } catch (GeneralSecurityException gse) {
            System.err.println(gse.getMessage());
            gse.printStackTrace();
            System.exit(0);
    }here are the error messages
DEBUG SMTP: exception reading response: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested targetAny guidance or opinions are always greatly appreciated.

bshannon, you were right, I cleaned it up. As soon as I found the MailSSLSocketFactory class,
and I could bypass the certificate nonsense it worked. Here it is.
public class TxtAlert {
    private final String host = "smtp.gmail.com";
    private final String from = "[email protected]";
    public TxtAlert(String[] data, String recipient) {
        try {
              // setup mail server
            MailSSLSocketFactory sf = new MailSSLSocketFactory();
            sf.setTrustAllHosts(true);
            // set system properties
            Properties props = System.getProperties();
            props.put("mail.smtps.ssl.socketFactory", sf);
            // get session
            Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props);
            session.setDebug(true);
            // define message
            MimeMessage msg = new MimeMessage(session);
            msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
            msg.addRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO,
                    new InternetAddress(recipient));
            msg.setSubject("Hello JavaMail");
            msg.setText("Welcome to JavaMail");
            // send message
            SMTPSSLTransport transport = (SMTPSSLTransport)session.getTransport("smtps");
            transport.connect(host, from, "password");
            transport.sendMessage(msg, msg.getAllRecipients());
            System.err.println("txt has been sent");
        } catch (MessagingException me) {
            System.err.println(me.getMessage() );
            System.err.println("-------------------");
            me.printStackTrace();
            System.exit(0);
        } catch (GeneralSecurityException gse) {
            System.err.println(gse.getMessage() );

Help with GMAIL in Mail Program....

Hi,
I am using the Apple Mail Program in Leopard and just picked up a Gmail account. I want to set up my Gmail account on 4 different computers work/home/laptop) that I access all the time and am hoping I can set it up so that wherever I check my mail it looks more or less like it does on Gmail.com with respect to the emails:
1. All mail that I've deleted on another computer is gone from all the other computers when checking mail on those other computers. Is that possible??? Currently, I use a bellsouth.net account and a .mac account, and when I log on to any of the computers via the mail program, it gives me all of my 'new mail', whether or not it was deleted on another computer.
2. Sent mail. Is there any way to send it on one computer's Mail program and have it show up in my Sent box on the other computers?
3. Ditto on Trash and other folders
I did try to set it up my Gmail account using IMAP but I thendeleted the account on Mail because it looked 'weird'. I had a Mailbox in my Inbox for the Gmail account and then also another whole separate, duplicate Gmail account (with All Mail, Drafts, Sent Mail, Spam, Starred, and Trash Folders) further down the left side of mail. In testing an email to gmail account from my .mac account, the mail ended up in two places in my Mail and deleting one did not delete the others.
If this cannot work, I can just go to gmail.com. BUT, I so love MAIL that I am hoping there is a fix to all this.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

My recollection is that unless you are a paid Hotmail account member, you cannot use Mail. Do a search within the discussion group, as I am not an expert, but I recall not getting Hotmail for that very reason.
Perhaps give gmail a try.....
That said....I still need some help with my posting! So please and thank you.

Updated maverick and all my mail archives disappeared on gmail

Please help, I recently updated maverick and all my mail archives disappeared on gmail. I would apprecaite any advice on how to fix it. I have three gmail accounts two for my business and one personal and all three inculde important data.

I saw one other user that had the same issue. Messages were gone in Mail and on Gmail server. If you do not have backup, your data is gone. It's unclear if this is a Mail or Gmail's server at fault.
Let's first check manually to see if your data is still on your Mac.
Go to your User's Library.
Scrol to Mail folder
Inside V2 folder look for IMAP-YOUR [email protected]
Look for All Mail.mbox in [Gmail].mbox
Drill down to see if there any actual messages

I've stopped and started the service, and also have performed cold reboots.
Nothing seems to have helped the situation.

Have you tried on another computer to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem?
The iPod Classic uses different drivers than the Nano

Need help setting up a Mail filter to mark gmail Spam as read

I’m using gmail with Mail and have set up a Smart Folder that catchs all my unread mail. What I’m trying to accomplish is to mark all Spam as read, so it doesn’t show up in this Smart Folder.
I have a rule:
Gmail seems to do a pretty good job catching Spam and labeling it in the header but my rule doesn’t seem to be reading the header. For example,
Shows up in my Unread Smart folder. I’m guessing that even though I see the “Spam” designation, for some reason it really isn’t part of the message and thus isn’t caught by the filter.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
STeve

Add words like "sample" "free" and other typical topics and words there are in junkmail to Message Containt rule.
Your Message containt rule most likely doesn't work because the junk message doesn't contain word "Spam".
Message containt rule checks if message has certain words, not what it is marked as.
You can also check if there's option to rule messages received from certain e-mail addresses to be moved to junk mail.

Missing "load all images" in Mail iOS6

Hello,
I missing the option "load all images" in Mail of iOS 6. I use iPod Touch 32 GB 4. generation.
This feature is on my iPhone and my iPad, but not on iPod touch. Why not?
Greetings, Bernd

It sounds as if your LR is using an old catalog(ue). It's unlikely that you've lost your images, you are just seing the old images previews that are part of an old catalog(ue). Can you not find the later catalog(ue) and open that or, if not, restore from a LR backup.
