How to preserve messages on ISP after setting up mac POP mail?

I recently (YESTERDAY) set up POP mail (mail 3.3) on my new macbook to collect mail from my yahoo account. AFTER downloading my yahoo inbox I noticed that one of the default advanced settings in mac mail was set to ''remove copy from server > after one week' from the ISP (yahoo).
As I certainly do not want this to happen I unchecked that option so that mac mail will not delete any messages it collects using POP and the contents of my yahoo inbox will remain unchanged.
But I'm worried that, even though I've unchecked the instruction to delete messages from server in 1 week, that somehow the instruction to delete will still be 'in the system' and that the contents of my yahoo inbox that my mac mail has already collected will somehow be 'tagged' for deletion in a week. Note that currently all my yahoo inbox messages are still in my yahoo inbox, but will they be safe in a week? Should I do something to safeguard against this like move those message out of my yahoo inbox and into a separate folder? Or ??
Any advice appreciated

The default behavior for accessing mail via POP is to transfer the messages to the client and delete them from the server, but some clients can disable the erasure. However, after doing this, some clients are unable to retrieve the unerased (but read) messages for the second time. I haven't tried with Mail to see if this works with Yahoo; I know for a fact that it doesn't with our corporate mail server.
Is there a possibility to use IMAP instead of POP? (Which is what I believe .Mac mail uses)

    How do I set up a POP mail account to use a different outgoing SMTP port? on Maverick O/Sx. Cannot see option to use 2 different ports?

    In Mail>Preferences>Accounts tab>Account Information tab - from the 'Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP):' drop-down menu select 'Edit SMTP Server List...', choose the server you want to edit from those listed, click on the Advanced tab. Does that give you the option you're after?

    Hi huddie71,
    Thank you for your question.
    I've raised the limits on their mailbox, and the aforementioned connector settings, etc.,
    except the Organization Configuration / Hub Transport / Global Settings / Transport Settings / Maximum Receive and Send Sizes.      
    By my understand, we could modify the global settings by the following path:
    Organization Configuration / Hub Transport / Global Settings / Transport Settings / Maximum Receive and Send Sizes.      
    Because it will work on existed user and new user without explicit message size limits sets.
    If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know. 
    Best Regard,
    Jim
    Hi Jim-Xu.  That would result in everyone getting an increased limit.  I only want one person to have an increased limit.  See the 2nd paragraph in my original post.

  • Here's how to set up Yahoo POP mail with instant "PUSH" functionality

    Originally I used iTunes to sync and dump my POP mail settings into the iPhone during my first sync after activation.
    DON'T do it this way and if you did delete that account from the iPhone and then go into the Mail settings on the iPhone and set up the mail settings under the "Add Account" feature. The top selection is Yahoo. It will simply ask you for the mail username and password. Once you complete this you will now have the greatly useful and most desired instan "PUSH" mail promised in conjunction with AT&T, Yahoo and Apple. A great thing.
    All other POP mail settings are set to simply check your email every 15, 30, 45 etc minutes. This is no fun.
    Once I reset the iPhone and set up the new account email is instant and you get the beloved "bing" alert as the come in.

    I was able to get this to work and push email works with my Yahoo account. Unfortunately, the iPhone mail does not respect the 'reply-to' setting for yahoo mail.
    When I send mail from Yahoo mail on the web, the reply-to address makes it look like the mail is coming from my standard business account.
    But when I send mail from my iPhone, the "@yahoo.com" email address is all that shows up in the outgoing message!
    I don't like this because I would prefer that all the email I send has the same reply-to address, so my recipients don't get confused.
    Is there a workaround or fix for this?

  • EXCH2013: How to leave messages at ISP server?

    Using Exchange 2013 SP1 and it serves both roles. It is not in deployment yet as we are still testing. Currently we have a problem trying to receive mail (have not been able to since testing started) and we got to thinking we need a contingency plan should
    Exchange stop receiving mail for a period of time so that users could go to the ISP's webmail interface to see their mail. Plus, once we get the receive working we still want to have this "backup" to compare to for some period of time.
    We use SMTP to send and receive mail using the  default connectors. Is there a setting to allow messages to remain at our ISP's server after they are brought into the mailboxes? 
    Or is this controlled at the ISP?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    For the ISP server, I suggest contact your ISP Support to double confirm whether this goal can be achieved.
    According to your description, I notice that you are suffering "Can't Receive" issue with the new Exchange server 2013 SP1. Please correct me if I have anything misunderstand.
    Suggestions:
    1. How is the impact, can't receive internally/externally or both? All external domains or some specific domains?
    2. Please make sure the DNS can be solved.
    3. Please make sure Port 25 is available.
    4. Please double confirm the Receive Connector settings. More details to refer:
    Receive Connectors
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996395(v=exchg.150).aspx
    5. Please check whether the external senders get NDRs, and any related Error/Warning/Information messages in App Log. If yes, please paste the details without sensitive information for the further troubleshooting.
    6. Also suggest try to open a new thread on "Can't receive" issue, so that you can get more targeted suggestions.

    I had to delete the email account that was associated with my Apple ID, so I changed my Apple ID, but all my previous messages on iMessage disappeared.  Is there a way I can access these from my Apple account?  I was receiving messages on an iPad.

    If you created a new apple id then its not the same account.
    If all you did was change an email address associated with it, then thats different. You should be able to access messages as before.

  • How to restore all inbox data after obliged to create new mail account

    After my Thunderbird account mysteriously disappeared I had to re-open another mail account. After difficulty I restored address book. But only about 30 percent of email inbox restored. How can I restore the rest, many of which were important to me.

    '''Background info to help you understand your mail account:'''
    As you saw in the Profile folder mail accounts, 'folders' you see in the Thunderbird FolderPane are actually Files; mbox files.
    Emails are downloaded to your Inbox and stored one after the other in the order they were downloaded. So, the emails are not stored as individual files, they are written into a text file which can get bigger and bigger if you do not manage the Inbox.
    Any emails you delete, from your point of view they disappear from Inbox and reappear in 'Deleted' folder (Also called Trash).
    In reality, those deleted emails are 'marked as deleted' and are still in the Inbox, but hidden. This means that if you had accidentally deleted an email, it would be easy to quickly get it back.
    However, the deleted emails are still taking up space, so to clean up the file and remove those 'marked as deleted' emails, you have to 'compact' the folder. If you do not compact your folders then you increase the possibilty of getting a corrupted file and losing emails.
    Using folders to organise emails into groups keeps the file size smaller and makes it easier to locate emails. It is also less risky. Smaller files also use less memory to open.
    '''How to create Folders:'''
    Select the mail account name in the Folder Pane. If you want to create them in 'Local Folders' account, select 'Local Folders'.
    * 'File' > 'New' > 'Folder'.
    * Give folder a name eg: Bills or Family or Friends etc
    * click on 'Create Folder' button.
    you can create as many folders as you need.
    '''How to move emails from one folder to another:'''
    There are a couple of ways to this, so you could try out the methods and choose the one you find most comfortable.
    Suggest you move one email first and then try to move a group.
    '''1. Using right click options.'''
    * Right click on highlighted/selected email in list
    * select: 'Move to' > mail account / Local Folder > select name of folder
    '''2. Using toolbar: '''
    * Select email in list so it is highlighted
    * 'Message' > 'Move to' > mail account > select: Folder'
    '''3. Drag and Drop method'''
    * Left click and keep down on hilighted email in list to grab
    * Move the mouse pointer to hover over the Folder you want; this is dragging the email,
    * Release the mouse to drop the email into that folder.
    '''How to highlight several emails:'''
    All the above methods work if you select one email or a highlighted group.
    '''To select a batch of email eg: 10 adjacent emails'''
    * click on first email
    * Press 'Shift' key and click on eg:10th email - all emails in between become highlighted.
    '''To select various emails to put them as a group.'''
    * Hold down 'Ctrl' key and use mouse to select various emails.
    '''To select all emails in folder:'''
    * click on first email in list
    * Hold down 'Ctrl' key and press 'A' - All emails will be highlighted.
