Mail Application doesn't keep data of my Yahoo mail account
Hello! I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro running OS Lion (10.7.3) and in the last two weeks I face the following problem with the Mail application and my Yahoo mail account: although the account appears in the side bar of the application and it will search for new messages when I launch the Mail app, it doesn't load any messages and I also realised that all Mailboxes of the named account are blank! The messages appear normally when I reach my account through the Yahoo page! I tried to remove and re-import the account in the Mail app, but it just worked for two days and now the Mailboxes are blank again! I have no problems with the other two mail accounts I reach through the same application (both POP accounts). Any possible solution?
What I would like to add is that the problem only appeared last week, without doing anything ... I have had no such problems since September I got the computer ...

Safari keeps freezing when using yahoo mail.
Safari keeps freezing while using Yahoo mail. Have to close out or reset safari to regain access. Anyone else ever have this problem?
Why not use Mac Mail instead of Yahoo's web based mail and having to access it via Safari and deal with incompatibility issues?
Open Mac Mail.
From the menu bar top of your screen click Mail / Preferences then select the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.
Click + (plus) under the Accounts panel on the left.
Type in your name, Yahoo email address and Yahoo password then click Create.
It's that easy.
To view incoming mail or start a new mail message just click the Mail icon in your Dock. If the Mail icon isn't in the Dock, go to your Applications folder, launch Mail. Then click and hold the Mail icon in the Dock, click Option / Keep In Dock. -
Mail application: Is it possible to have 2 separate Mail applications running?
(I am currently running Snow Leopard but planning to switch to Lion soon.)
I know this seems unlikely, but is there a may to run 2 separate Mail applications on the same Mac?
On my office computer I use Mail for my Personal email and Entourage for my Work email. I do not need to use Entourage for any work related reason, I use it solely to keep my Personal and Work email separated in different applications.
I really love Mail and am not married to Entourage. If there was a way to run two separate Mail applications I would move my Work email to Mail.
Again, I anticipate the answer to be no, but I figure there is no harm in asking.
Thanks,
MarcantonioYou can run Apple Mail and use it for two (or more) totally separate email accounts, e.g. one for work and one for personal.
You set up each account separately in Mail by going to Preferences ... and Accounts.
In the Accounts pane, you will see a small "+" and "-" at the bottom left of the pane. That's to add ("+") or delete ("-") accounts. You need to enter all the correct server and account information separately for each of your two accounts.
When you run Apple Mail after dloing this, you can view the email for those accounts SEPARATELY for each of the Inbox, Sent, and Trash. Or you can view them all together if you choose (e.g. you can view one Inbox that has all your work and personal email together). You can basically do this however you want.
For instance I use earthlink (POP) for one of my personal accounts, I use a different account at work via MS-Exchange (IMAP). I get them both on Apple Mail, and I always keep them completely separate (separate Inbox, Sent, Trash folders).
I use Outlook for the MS-Exchange "work email", but that's just the most recent version of MS email clients for the Mac, Entourage is an older version. -
Bulk/spam mail, how can i stop it coming from yahoo mail
I have my iphone setup to send my emails to my iphone as I have yahoo mail. like the yahoo mail i can click on one box and delete all my bulk/spam mail with one click, but they also go to my iphone and what a paid deleting over 40 spam mails a day one by one, anyway either to stop my spam mail from going to my iphone and just stay in my yahoo mail where i can delete it there instead of from my iphone and or also is there a way if i cant do that, then delete all the spam mail with one click like i can in yahoo mail. Help.
Andrew: how do you train Yahoo mail to start putting spam in the proper folder and what folder is the folder? also I went into my iPhone and there was about 10 junk emails so i went into my yahoo mail and deleted all of them in my inbox and spam/bulk mail box and erased all of them and then emptied my trash even and i then hooked up the iphone and itunes came up ofcourse and did its thing and the emails are still in the iPhone. ???

When I click on the stamp to get my e-mails, some of them come up but not all of them. I can open a window and log into aol and see that
it shows I have a lot more e-mails that don't appear in my mail application. Also, some e-mails disappear before I have a chance to open
them. I don't know what's going on. If I close out my mail application and re-open it, they reappear. Does anyone know how to help me?All email recipients are stored in a list of previous recipients that is used for the autofill feature when addressing a message in addition to the address book. The Mail.app on a Mac includes the same along with an option to access the list of previous recipients. You can add a previous recipient to the Address Book that is not already entered, or remove a previous recipient from the list.
Access to the list of previous recipients with the iPhone's mail client is not available - at the present time anyway.
If you restored your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup, this data is included with your iPhone's backup.
To get rid of what is currently in the list of previous recipients at the present time requires restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup. Relatively big price to pay regarding something that shouldn't be extremely difficult to ignore - at least until access to the list of previous recipients is supported. -
So as usual, I updated the software on My mac and laptop... it is version 10,6.8 and now my mail applications Version: 4.6 won't open. Says it is the wrong version to work with the software... this is the FIRST time I am unhappy with my Apple products. Now to take the time to figure this out. I know enough to be technologically dumb.

My BlackBerry Curve doesn't pick up calendar from yahoo mail.
When I synchronise my BlackBerry curve with my laptop it changes contact details ok but then fails to connect with the calendar in my Yahoo mail account. It tells me this - connection to Yahoo server was lost - I wonder what is happening and if there is any way I can synchrinise the two calendars.
Hi MaureenCooper,
What version of BlackBerry Desktop Software are you using?
Are you syncing your Yahoo Contacts?
Does your contact information show in a desktop program, such as Outlook or Windows Contacts?
Thanks!

Yahoo mail sent through Mail app do not appear when login into Yahoo mail
Hi everybody,
I have a problem that annoying me very much. I've used Yahoomail for very long before I bought a MBA. For the first time I use Mac OSX, I try to use Mac mail combine with my old Yahoo mail. Actually, I have done the config. But anything I do with my Yahoo mail through Mail app can't appear when I login into original Yahoo mail. For example: I sent a Yahoo mail through Mac mail, it's shown that the mail was sent sucessfully, but when I try to login into Yahoo mail on Web, the sent mail doesn't exist. And the same happen when I do the opposite: the mail I sent on Yahoo mail doesn't exist on Mac mail. It's a big trouble if I use other lap and try to contact with someone. So is there any solution can fix it?
Many thanksI'm having the same problem, and the only help I ever seem to find suggested anywhere is "make sure its set up as an IMAP account"
BUT it is! Mail automaticly sets all yahoo accounts up as IMAP. So is this just a yahoo problem? Is there anyway to fix this?
For me the bigger issue isnt that I need to be able to check my e-mail through a web browser regulerly, but on my Iphone and Ipad the account, which is through the mail app, also dosnt show sent mail sent through the mac app.
I agree this makes mail on my mac totally usless. -
OS10.6.8, Firefox 24.0
The new Yahoo mail shows no graphics using Firefox 24.0 - just identical rectangles where new icons should be.\. However, the new Yahoo mail displays correctly in Safari and Chrome. I believe this has to to with the settings for Javascript. Those settings aren.t easy to access in the most recent Firefox 24.0 version. Help me, please.The settings for Javascript are either on or off, Fireefox 24 doesn't give you a option to turn off Javascript, unless you installed something like NoScript extension (or some other Javascipt blocking add-on)
If NoScript, then you need to use the View > Toolbars > Customize and drag the NoScript "Temp Allow All" button to the toolbar area to enable all enabled scripts (including Javascript) on that web page.
Under the Firefox Help menu is a option to restart with add-ons disabled to see if something you might have installed is causing your problem.
Reinstall Firefox or create another user account and run Firefox there to try to localize your issue.
I'm having no problem here on 10.6.8 in Firefox, Chrome or Safari, Yahoo Mail works perfectly. -
This also happened in Windows XP which I was using until recently.
The Yahoo mail menu is there but the Firefox menu is on top of it. I tried Firefox safe mode with everything disabled and the problem still happened. I tried Yahoo mail in IE 9 and the right mouse button works correctly.Can you attach a screenshot?
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).<br />
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.<br /> -
I frequently receive a notice from Mail that it 'can't connect' to my Yahoo account despite the fact that I am able to receive mail from that account. It appears with the name of my Yahoo account, my password (coded), and the choice to 'cancel' or 'ok'. If I click either, the banner goes away but comes back soon. I can open Mail and see that all accounts are online. I get the banner SEVERAL time during a session - very annoying!
I have several accounts, but this only happens with Yahoo and sometimes Hotmail. Can anyone tell me how to resolve this Mail issue?
Thanks.I have 5 IMAP and 1 POP (Hotmail).
The Yahoo is IMAP. -
Mail App Doesn't Keep Copies of Email Sent via One Particular Account?
I have several accounts set up in Mail app. For one account, I can send and receive email, but copies of the email do not appear in my Sent folder, or in any other folder in Mail app. It is as if they were never sent. All other accounts are functionning normally.
How can I correct this?All four of our iPhone pilot users have experienced this problem at some time. From what I've been able to determine so far:
+ It seems to happen when there's a slightly shaky data connection - we've never seen it on a WiFi connection, or where the phone is stationary with good signal. It frequently happens to me when I'm sending mails on a moving train.
+ Once a message has come back with the "Failed to send" error, the iPhone will keep retrying, but will invariably fail even if it's got perfect GPRS/EDGE/3G signal. The thing is, even though you've been told there was an error, the message has actually been sent already - but it sticks in the Outbox and keeps trying as though it hasn't. It's not until the phone either docks or gets back onto a WiFi network that the message sends one more time and the problem clears.
+ It feels like a problem in the processing of the ActiveSync "OK" acknowledgement during sending - something gets out of line in the iPhone, maybe it misses the ACK because of poor data signal, but then it's stuck.
+ There's no obvious connection to firmware version. We've seen this on everything from 2.0 up to 2.1.
This is a real problem - and it's absolutely stopping us from letting any "real" users use iPhones through Exchange. Does anyone else have any ideas or suggestions?
Apple? Any new firmware forthcoming to fix this bug?
Thanks. -
I recently upgraded to Lion and then updated my iphone to iOS 4.3.5. Now my mail app on the phone seems all messed up. When I check mail, it pulls down mail from the server but I have to go into each individual account to make that happen but even then the view automatically bounces from one mail account to another but never to the Microsoft Exchange server. It also doesn't let me delete mail
I have wasted much time trying different combinations to have push and gmail "send mail as". I guess I have tried so much because it seems like a no brainer.
If you set up as exchange you can at least add in the extra comma and address, but it disappears when you go to send an email.
very frustrating indeed. my solution is to use the gmail app for notifications of new email. -

Mail Application - Overwriting of From & Subject Headings in Received Mail
On all of my emails, the content of the 'From' heading appears on top of the 'Subject' heading making it impossible to read either. Similarly, the 'To' heading is not populated, I am guessing the content is on the line below, which is hidden.
I am struggling resolve the following issue through preference settings. Has anyone got any suggestions? I have tried previous threads to no avail.
All comments appreciated.
Regards
DaveI would like to add that it stops changing the 'last opened' date on files in those folders if I quit the mail program.
