Mail and Yahoo! Mail continually "refreshing"

I recently added my Yahoo! mail account to Mac OS X mail. The problem is that it is continually "refreshing". The wheen for the Yahoo! account never stops. None of the other mail accounts I have set up are having this issue so I'm pretty sure it is a problem with the Yahoo! account but I don't know if it is something in the settings on the Yahoo! end that I can and need to change, or if there is a setting on the Mac OS X Mail setting I can and should change. Has anyone else had this issue? If so, have you solved it, and if so, how? Using 10.7/Lion.

Gmail, AOL, almost everything but Yahoo!. It ***** because I use my Yahoo! account for Facebook so that I get them in realtime on my phone but I can use it in Mail. This really aggravates me...a lot.

  • Apple Mail and Yahoo - Mail shows as opened in Yahoo?

    I have Gmail and Yahoo mail accounts.  When I open my Apple mail, all my Yahoo messages show as opened; Gmail does not.  Is there a configuration I can perform to correct this problem?  I'd like it to function like Gmail, Exchange or iCloud.  Suggestions?

    dddog,
    Are you accessing the Yahoo email or the email on your computer as POP3?
    If so this article would apply:

    Have a read through this. It might help you to understand the difference between IMAP and POP email.

  • Mail and Yahoo Mail

    I use my Yahoo mail account as my email backup, but using Apple mail downloads all of the messages on the server and not just the incremental messages. How can I just download the incremental messages, but leave all messages on the Yahoo server?

    If I'm understanding you right, what you're asking isn't possible. By default, Yahoo! Mail uses an IMAP server, so any device you use to look at your inbox will always see the same messages. What you're asking requires a POP server, in which messages live on the server until they're downloaded, at which time they're deleted or marked for deletion.
    IMAP is considered the more modern protocol, which is why services like Gmail and Yahoo! Mail use it. Think of it as a window into your entire mailbox from any device ... while the POP protocol was more like a letter carrier bringing your mail to you. With POP, once the mail is on your computer, it's gone (or soon-to-be-gone) from the server.
    This link explains it in more detail:
    http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2008/05/getting-gmail-anywhere-imap-versus-pop.htm l
    It turns out you can configure Yahoo! Mail to use POP, but it requires a $20/year plus account:

  • How to sync SENT boxes from Mail and Yahoo Mail?

    I have a Yahoo! mail acct. (it's actually a AT&T acct. with an sbcglobal.net domain name accessible through Yahoo mail). I access this acct. through Mail via POP at home, and at work I access it via web.
    How can i get mail messages sent via Mail to show up when I access it via the web and vice versa? Is this possible?

    There is one option and that is to use Mail's 'automatically cc (or bcc) myself' function, which you can enable from the Composing preference pane. Then you can set up a filter in Yahoo mail to move any message originating from your own address to another folder. Unfortunately, it doesn't let you move them to the regular Sent folder, but you can create a new folder called Sent Mail or something and move them there - at least then you'll have a copy.
    N.B. that 'automatically cc myself' is a global preference, so it applies to all your accounts.

  • E51 Gmail and Yahoo mail box access

    Dear All
    I was trying to configure the gmail and yahoo mail accounts in the new E51 which I have bought. I have correctly configured the mail setup with the correct username and password. But I am getting an error "Invalid Mail for exchange credentials. Check credential settings". The pop up is coming repeatedly on the phone even if am not using the same.
    Please help me out for the same.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Guys!
    I'm sure by now your problems are solved. Nevertheless, let me simplify this for you. I have both my Gmail and my Yahoo mail setup on my E51 and they work beautifully. One thing you should be aware of is that while Gmail offers mobile & POP access free, you need to upgrade to a business account in yahoo to avail the same. That being said, here are the settings for each:
    For Gmail:
    Connection Settings > Incoming E-Mail
    User name: Enter your complete Gmail e-mail address including '@gmail.com'
    Password: Enter your Password
    Incoming Mail Server: imap.gmail.com
    Access Point in Use: Select the active data connection
    Mailbox Name: Whatever you like
    Mailbox Type: IMAP4
    Security (ports): SSL/TLS
    Port: Default
    Connection Settings > Outgoing E-Mail
    My e-mail address: Enter your complete Gmail e-mail address including '@gmail.com'
    User name: Again enter your complete Gmail e-mail address including '@gmail.com'
    Password: Enter your password
    Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.gmail.com
    Access Point in Use: Select the active data connection

    Delete E-mails From: Select Phone or Server. If you select phone, th emails get deleted only from the phone, although the header still remains till the next time you refresh. What this means is that mails deleted from you phone will continue to remain on your server and will be accessible the next time you access your mail using a PC.
    Retrieval Settings:
    E-Mail to retrieve: No choice here. Gmail only allows you to retrieve headers first. If you feel a mail is important you can select it and download the entire message later.

    Retrieval Interval: Select a time interval as desired.
    With this done you should have no poblems accessing both, your yahoo mail and gmail on your E51 over a Wi-Fi connection or a data plan from your service provider.

  • Safari and yahoo mail not getting along

    Safari and Yahoo Mail don't seem to be getting along this past month

    Hi powerbook1701!
    It is a shame...Yahoo has always been bad with Safari...I think most people here keep a copy of Firefox/Camino for cases like this when webdesigners don't make their pages compatible with Safari. It's not much of a problem anymore but there are still a few sites depending on where you surf...
    Actually the reason I started using Mail is because the standard Yahoo mail wouldn't display custom fonts, etc. on Mac. At that time not even with Firefox for Windows. But I'm glad that I switched because I enjoy using Mail much more that Yahoo's webmail which by the way was never good at searching...
    Oops this sounds like Yahoo bashing!!! It's not meant to be...just letting you know other people have the same issues you're experiencing...

  • I have 2 questions regarding the iphone 5. 1 How do i get my yahoo mail set up. I tried the setting it up as both a yahoo mail and other mail. 2. I seem to have lost my notes on my iphone 5 but I have them on my ipad. How can I use cloud to sync my notes?

    I have 2 questions regarding the iphone 5. 1 How do i get my yahoo mail set up. I tried the setting it up as both a yahoo mail and other mail. 2. I seem to have lost my notes on my iphone 5 but I have them on my ipad. How can I use cloud to sync my notes?

    I will address your second question.
    First, make sure your iPhone and iPad have absolutely identical Apple IDs.  If they do, use that Apple ID in Settings > iCloud on your iPhone to select the "Notes" option.  Lo and behold, all your iCloud notes should appear on your iPhone.

  • TS1843 Not receiving apple mail.  Connection Doctor says not connected to server.  Yet receiving gmail and yahoo mail.

    Not receiving apple mail.  Checked connection Doctor.  Not connected to server, yet receiving gmail and yahoo mail.

    No, I have a Mac and my email connects via our pacbell account we've had for years.  However, something in the Preferences/Accounts is not correct I am guessing.  Also, it asks for the password and if I put it in and click save through general or viewing, it's NOT saving it and still not allowing me to get email. My husband tried reading about this through our AT&T acct and said to change the incoming server to imap.mail.yahoo.com and outgoing smtp.mail.yahoo;[email protected], but now I can't receive or send any email on my Mac. In advanced not sure if it should be Port of 465 or 900 something or other and SSL checked or not.  I called AT&T and they want to take over my machine by charging $15/mos for a year to fix this.  Ridiculous. 
    So, everytime prior to yesterday, when my husband messed around with it, I was getting a POP needs password box, typed in my password, but to no avail..Then it Keychain password popped up and assumed it was the same, but there's no way to change or modify it even using the new password my husband set up through AT&T.  I am at a complete loss.
    I can access mail through yahoo mail and it takes me to AT&T Yahoo Mail, but no contacts are there so needless to say this is a pain.
    I appreciate any assistance you can give me so I can get back on my email as I have for 4 years.
    Thanks Hackintosh...I look forward to hearing from you....you can use the email above and it will come to me through my yahoo web page....Thanks again and let me know if you need any other information.  If you respond on here, I may not get the answer from you as I didn't know you responded until I came on discussions.  THanks

  • Mac mail 4.5 and yahoo mail

    Anyone else having problems with mac mail 4.5 and sending mail with yahoo.mail server.  Mine is so erratic It's driving me crazy.  It works fine for a while then all of sudden it will just stop working for days at a time.  This happens without me changing any settings whatsoever.  I have other mail programs using the same servers AND THEY WORK FINE.  So this is total crap.  When I try getting help from my ISP they said it is a mac mail problem.  When I try to get help from APPLE (which is pretty much non existant) they say its an ISP problem.  The only thing I know is that its' my problem and I've given both these companies tons of money and they've left me hanging out in the breeze with arguably the most basic and important funciton of having a computer and an internet connection.  Screw them all I say.
    Anyone out there to help with this quandry.  By the way I've used mail connection doctor.  It has problem connecting to the outgoing server, but then it does and says all is fine.  But I still cant send mail.  I go back to connecton doctor and do a "check again" and now it CANT connect.  Jeez this is just awful

    Reset your phone by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

  • Apple Mail and Yahoo Web Mail won't work when iPhone Email Active

    It is interesting that when I have my iPhone email active, if I try to download messages to Apple Mail on a regular computer, I get the enter password screen over and over (password is already in the system) so I never get mail. Also when I have my iPhone active I get an error message on Yahoo Web Mail. When I turn off my iPhone email, I get access to both Apple Mail and Yahoo Web Mail. I have tested this on several occasions and it always happens like this. Would like not to have to turn off my iPhone email when I go to a regular computer to access Apple Mail or Yahoo Web Mail.

    Are you accessing the Yahoo email or the email on your computer as POP3?
