Mac Mail doesn't display new Yahoo messages

Mail application on my Mini was somewhat erratic so I did the usual trick of removing "com.apple.mail.plist" and restart application. Now all my accounts are working as they should be except Yahoo.
I deleted and added Yahoo account twice, the settings are OK but I can't see my new messages for this particular account. (IMAP)
Yahoo account is working. I can send and receive from my iPhone and iPad.
Mail displays the folders on Yahoo server.
I can see the "Sent" messages.
At the bottom left of the sidebar, I can see incomiing messages but once they are retrieved no new messages are in the Inbox.
Can someone please help?

I checked email several minutes ago. Activity Monitor now shows it as using 0% of CPU time. When that's the case it's now using any power at all. Every so often it will "wake up" to check for new mail. When that happens it will briefly use some CPU power. That interval can be controlled with the setting for "Check for new messages" in the General panel of Mail's preferences.
You didn't ask about RAM, but when Mail is idle I'd expect it put minimal demands on RAM.

Transferred mail doesn't display "most recent" messages in iOS3

I just setup a brand new Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server and began transferring mail from offline mailboxes to the IMAP structure on the server. This works fine in Apple Mail, as it displays the entire message list and keeps a local cache. However, this does not work properly on my iPad, iPhone or those same iDevices belonging to my colleagues.
Instead, it displays a seemingly "random" list of 200 messages rather than the "most recent" messages.
An extensive search of Apple Discussions yielded three very similar cases, all seeming to involve the transfer of mail from one server to another with similar results (errors).

Has this been solved? Can someone offer me/us some help?
FTR:
I am running Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.4), the server is also up-to-date and the iPhones/iPads are as well (3.1.3 and 3.2 respectively).
Thank you,

the message just isn't seen as a multipart message.
What do you mean by that exactly? Only the plain text version is displayed?
Send me one (tom at bluesky dot org). Not forwarded or copied -- send it to me as if I were one of the normal recipients.

Mac Mail doesn't show new messages

When I open up mail, it shows the little orange circle with "2" in the center, standing for how many new messages I have. But as soon as I close the app, the orange notification goes away. So if I was browsing in Safari, I would never know if there was a new message in my mailbox. Is there any way to fix this?

How come Mac Mail doesn't ding when new mail arrives?

My sound is on. Recently my Mac Mail doesn't notify me by sound when I have new mail. I'm running on 10.7.5.

Having mail 4.5 issues- open mail and get a new features message so I must import messages first in order to use mail 4.5. Just recently put in MAC OSX 10.6.7. Once it imports click done to start using mail, but end up with the rainbow wheel? Now What?

Once it imports I am to click done to start using mail, but end up with the rainbow wheel of death and it also says you cannot use mail until the import is finished? Now What?

Is Mail still "spinning"? If it's been doing that for a while, I'd kill it, using either Activity Monitor or the OS X application picker. Then relaunch Mail and see what happens.
Two "by the ways":
1) Your system details mention an PPC iMac. Since a non-Intel Mac can't run OS X 10.6, you seem to have another Mac. You might want to consider updating your system details.
2) You seem to have been misled by the poor labeling of the message composition fields on this forum into trying to enter your entire post into the "subject" field. In the future, just enter a summary of your post there and the main text into the field below it.

Mac mail locks up when new message is open

Why can't I navigate my mail page while a new compose message is open on Mavericks?

I am having the same trouble. I have 2 VIP's, one of them works fine, the other shows 1 unread message. I have deleted the VIP and re-added and gotten the same results.
This has been true for all versions of Mavericks, including the 2 updates since release. The latest update just the other day did not fix this.

Mac mail is not picking new mail

Using an iMac 27in 2012. Running Maverick 10.9
With Mac Mail, I have two (2) yahoo free accounts plus one (1) corporate account.
Yahoo (1) is able to send and receive.
Corporate is able to send and receive.
Yahoo (2) was receiving email up until 8:46AM EST yesterday. I am able to send emails, but I am unable to
retrieve new emails from Yahoo servers.
I am NOT getting any error messages.
In fact with the connection doctor, mail is able to connect to IMAP and SMTP servers under this account. I
searched on this forum and found a post to delete the UID files. That didn’t work. I tried rebooting, I’ve tried closing mail
and shutting down, nothing. I tried deleting the account, and then re-entering the account. Now everything is gone, just a blank screen. Both other accounts are still able to send and receive.

Hi lapvn,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like one email account is not working in Mail. It looks like you have already done some troubleshooting. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages - Apple Support
Try webmail
Many email service providers offer a webmail interface that you can use to access your email via a web browser, such as Safari. If your email service provider has a web interface, open Safari, go to the webmail website, and log in with your user name and password. If your user name and password are not accepted, you may need to reactivate or reset them.
Note: The webmail interface is via your email service provider's web server, which is different than an email server. If there is an issue with your email service provider's email server, but not their web server, you may have issues in Mail but not in the web interface to your email. Contact your email service provider support staff to check on the status of the servers.
Cheers,
Mario

After upgrade to OS X10.6.7 Mail doesn't display pix. Missing plug-in instead. Already reset Java

After upgrade to OS X10.6.7 Mail doesn't display pix. Missing plug-in instead. Already reset Java to default.
Did not find any other suggestion online.
What's happening?

Hi
Is it not displaying any type of picture attachment (JPG, GIF, TIFF, PNG)? Is it any message that you view, from any sender?
How did you reset Java? You may want to clear the caches as well. Empty ~/Library/Caches & /Library/Caches/.

Why does my mail doesn't receive all my messages?

I use my mail app (max OS X snow leopard) to check all my accounts (2 gmail, 1 hotmail & 2 private domains).
My private domain accounts don't receive all my messages, I can tell becasue in my domain settings all my mail is re-sent to another gmail account. There are many emails I can see in my "backup" gmail account that my mac mail doesn't receive.
I constantly have to check my gmail account to make sure there are no unattended messages that I haven't seen.

Mail doesn't display full email text, only displays the subject line

Mail doesn't display full email text, only displays the subject line.

Awesome. Rebooting the phone worked. I had never turned the phone off before (for the next guy - you hold down the "sleep" button for longer than you'd think and that'll do a full shutdown). thank you for your help.

Probably incredibly simple question, so sorry. I have just changed e-mail after many many years and I want to e-mail everyone in my mac mail client with the new e-mail address at the same time.

If you are using Address Book, open it, create a new Group, select all you contacts by click the top one while holding down the shift key and then select the last one. Drag the contacts to the group, then send an e-mail to the group.

I was having trouble sending to hotmail accounts from my Earthlink account, they had me go into Mac Mail preferences and make changes (because they claimed it was Mac Mail's fault, even though the hotmail error code said it's because Earthlink is blocked by hotmail), now Mac Mail doesn't work AT ALL - any help changing the settings back to correct Mac Mail settings? I can provide a transcript of the entire tech chat session, if that will help...

both apostrophes are used correctly, thanks
doesn't = does not (this is called a contraction)
it's = it is
Mac Mail's fault = possessive
any help with the actual issue? thanks!

IPhone 4s (6.1) gets message or whatsapp message, vibrates but doesn't display new message notification on screen

As per title really.
Whenever i get a text or whatsapp message my phone vibrates (sometimes twice as if i have two messages) but nothing is displayed on screen.
This is ever since updating to 6.1

Hi,
I tested with Outlook 2013 and Windows 7, once the new incoming message becomes read, the "new mail" envelope disappears as it should.
Does this issue persist if you switch the view to others? I suggest we try to start Outlook with the switch "/cleanviews" to reset default view:
Press Win + R, type "outlook.exe /cleanviews" in the blank box, press Enter. This method resolves issues related to the corrupted views, and we can check the result again after Outlook resets default view.

Mail doesn't show new messages

Mail sometimes doesn't show new messages for an IMAP account. The badge in the dock says that there is a new mail but it doesn't show up in the inbox. I'm sure that I didn't just miss it, because, smart mailboxes will not find that new mail as well. When I restart mail, the mail finally shows up in the inbox as well.
Anybody else seeing this and what can I do to resolve that issue?
Thanks!

I'll bring everyone up to speed on what's been happening with my family accounts. I first suspected Safari, because it seemed to be a local problem, but then, inexplicably, all mobileme mail accounts tied to that family account, which included 4 subaccounts and 1 mail-only account, not only did not work in mail.app, but also failed in other email clients I tested, including clients on Linux. Also, the webmail version was not working well, either.
So, if your problem is isolated to a single computer and just to mail.app, or just with a particular network, then I think the local troubleshooting steps are the way to go.
But, if your problem extends to other platforms, clients, and webmail, then it is likely an issue the engineers at Apple will have to figure out. I found the online chat service for mobileme users to be very helpful in checking through all the 'usual suspects' and after we had pretty much ruled out any of the usual culprits, it was escalated to the engineers, who are working on it now.
They were able to release all the email that had been piling up, but there are still some glitches they are trying to iron out. As an aside, I have been personally managing various mail servers for a dozen years, and am well aware of the difficulties in diagnosing email problems, and it was stumping me, and I have intimate knowledge of Exim and Exchange and various email modules used with mx services.
+While this 'should never happen', it's unrealistic for users to expect it never will. Of all the services provided on the Internet, email, is arguably the most complex service and it's become much more complex in the past few years. In my work, typically 94% of all email traffic hitting the server is filtered out as spam. So, the 6% that is allowed through is the stuff most of us see and are spending time and resources filtering out the 20-40% additional unwanted spam that the host let through because if they tightened it down any further the risk of false positives would become too great. I spend way more time on the mail service aspects of my job than the web services, and mail problems occupy at least 80% of my troubleshooting logs. So, while email seems more 'simple' than the exotic and bandwidth intensive services like video chat, voip, and web2 transactions, compared to the amount of wasted bandwidth and cpu cycles filtering packets, I think email is the number one problem service for most host providers. We tried to depend upon it for mission-critical communications, and it was never designed for that initially, and the spammers are making certain it won't achieve that status at least in the near future. If anything, email is your least dependable Internet service. Combine this with the growing array of user configurations, email clients, forwarding/retrieving/syncing scenarios, and user experience, and you may find yourself uttering a little prayer now and then for the poor email administrators and support personnel.+
[end of sermon - thanx for letting me get that off my chest; I feel better now! I'll feel a lot better when my email is flowing smoothly, but that's out of my hands for now.]

Mac mail inbox icon for new messages is missing

I just upgraded to a new macbook air and ever since then the Mac Mail is not showing me how many new messages I have in my inbox. It used to be that when I go into mac mail, there would be a gray circle to the right of each of my inbox titles with a number of how many new messages I have in my inbox. But now there are no gray circles, even when I do have new messages in my inboxes. Now in order to see how many new messages I have in each inbox I have to go in and click on each one (I know, my life is so hard). But I would love to get those gray circles back. I liked it. Interestingly, in my saved mailboxes of old messages, whenever I have an unread message stored in any of these, there is a corresponding gray circle with numbers. Why for the saved mailboxes but not for my inboxes? Anyone know how to help me?

William - indeed and thanks.
I come from a Windows history that goes back to the late 1980's and used to be quite familiar with rebooting my laptop 7-30 times a week. When I moved to the Apple ecosystem, I forgot completely about having to reboot periodically - something I have discovered is necessary with Mac's, too. It is especially necessary with applications that get a lot of use - I cycle through a couple thousand e-mail messages every week.
I restarted Mail because it started acting up in other ways, too. Voila! Problem solved.
