Mail folders empty on Yahoo account

I have a Macbook air running on Yosemite 10.10.1 and an iPhone 5S running on iOS 8.1.2.
On both devices, since few days ago, some Yahoo! Mail subfolders do not show any messages, as if they were empty.
I have tried to delete the Yahoo! Mail account on both devices and to create it again, but it doesn't work, a couple of folders, that were running perfectly before are now empty.
Additionally, if I have an email in the Inbox and move it to one of the failing folders from any of the two devices, it appears to move correctly (actually it becomes the only displayed email in that folder on that device), but then it is not visible on the other device.
I have checked the Yahoo! Mail web page and all the folders appear to be running properly.
Can somebody help me to fix this problem?

Hi, Drillo73.
Did you configure you Yahoo Mailbox account on your iPhone via "Mail, Contacts,Calendars" app ?
During a setup process there were 2 options - IMAP and POP. Which one did you choose?
Try to recreate Mail Account by choosing OTHER instead of YAHOO.
Provide all the credentials as per below.
The incoming mail server name is imap.mail.yahoo.com
The outgoing mail server name is smtp.mail.yahoo.com
In the Advanced settings turn on SSL:
The incoming mail server port is 993
The outgoing mail server port is 465
Both mail server names require SSL.
The outgoing mail server requires authentication using the same username and password that you used for the incoming mail server.
Please let me know about the results.

I can't receive mail from my verizon/yahoo account on my imac running snow leopard. I checked all settings with verizon but still have the problem

My mail application on my imac will not download mail from my verizon/yahoo account. I contacted verizon and confirmed my settings to be correct. I don't get any error messages, I can send mail but I can't retrieve it from V/Y. Connection doctor shows all connections with a green light.

Mail/Preferences/Accounts
Incoming Mail Server: imap.verzon.net
Outgoing Mail Server(SMTP): smtp.verizon.net:your email [email protected]
If that does not work, call Verizon for instructions.

Iphone 4 automatically sending nuisance/ viral e-mail messages from my yahoo account to members of my phone/ e-mail/ facebook contact list. What can I do to stop this?

This has occurred on 2 different occassions. In both cases, I can not identify a viral email that I would have opened that could have started this as we are very cautious about opening unknown emails, and definately NEVER double click on links that come through in nuisance/ spam type e-mails.
This morning was the second time that it appears my iphone was somehow involved in automatically sending out a mass nuisance message to all my contacts (phone contacts/ facebook contacts/ yahoo contacts). The email contained no message - except for a single link to an unknown destination of course since I refuse to dbl click on it to see what I have sent out to my friends.
This is the second time it has happened. I have posted on facebook to all my friends to not open the message. I have deleted ALL my contacts from both my phone and from yahoo contact list. I even deleted facebook and all it's info. from my phone to remove their contact lists. I don't want this to keep happening to my friends. The only thing I haven't deleted is my phone contacts (phone numbers) but I am assuming it may very well happen again since the automatic message was also sent to my phone contacts. (Not sure how that even happens - an auto email to a phone number?)
I have been reading on this site that it is nearly impossible to get a virus on your iphone - however, what other explanation is there? I don't have a PC - I don't have any Windows products in my home. We own 1 ipad and 2 iphones at the moment. I never access my yahoo account from anywhere but my MAC products. What is happening and how can it be resolved?
Thanx!

if it's a message coming from your yahoo account, it means that your account has been compromised, not your phone itself. i would suggest changing the password for your email account

What do you recommend if local mail folders empty after migration?

I have successfully migrated user data from old macbook to new macbook (both mavericks). However, my local mail folders are only empty folders. Did anything go wrong? I could simply export and import them from the old macbook, I know. I can probably also easily retrieve them from my backups. I just wonder whether anyone else had experienced this and what you recommend as best procedure now. Looking forward to your replies!

Oops... found the solution:
I select folder by folder, go to the mailbox menu and select rebuild. Mails are all appearing again!

Problems using Mail application with my Yahoo account.

Mail has recently stopped working with my yahoo mail account. I've tried restarting the ipad and deleting the yahoo account, but neither has helped. the error message says the user name or password aren't correct, but I've verified that my password is correct (both that I have it typed correctly and that it is correct). I can still check Yahoo thru the web, but it's not as convenient as the mail app is. The odd thing is I have a Ymail account also (which is a yahoo product) and it is still working properly. Any way to troubleshoot this besides the usual advice of restarting the ipad and deleting the yahoo account and resetting it up?

I have just received one of these suspect (robo?) responses from Yahoo support (notice there's nothing to try):

How to Import Apple Mail Folders on Second User Account

I purchased a new MBP after the old one failed. At the Apple Store I set up a User ID for the new MBP. I then used the Migration utility later on to bring in all my data from my late MBP. This included all my Mail folders. Now I want to get a selection of those Mail Folders to the New User ID. I have tried exporting a folder to a USB flash drive, told Apple Mail to import it in the new ID but without success. Is there another way to get the selected mail folders over to the new ID? Currently I have way too much mail on the old migrated ID. I have been running DupeZap to try and reduce the duplicate messages but that's another story. I just want to get the good folders (no duplicates) over to the new User ID. I seem to recall that back with Tiger you could use a drop box or public folder to pull files/data from one user ID to another. Is this still possible or is there another option I can try?
Thanks for advice and guidance.

If both system are using the IMAP mail provider all you have to do is setup the connection to the mail server and all the emails and folders will be copied down to the windows computer. That is what IMAP is for. The mail stays on the server, and can be store
on the local computer also, and when you connect to the server with another device, computer, phone or pad, all the mail with folders gets copied to the other device.
But I think some of your mail was gotten using POP so it is not longer on the server.
Or you have emails in local folder only and they would be on the server. But you can create folder on the server in one mail program, or on the mail web interface and then copy those emails into those folder on the server byt copying them in one of the email
programs. Then when you log on with the other device all of them will be downloaded to the other device.
Other alternative:- You can find various solutions on having a google search
for your problem. Or you can have a look at the following link: Apple mail to Outlook Windows

Trouble sending some e-mails with iPhone using Yahoo account

Hi Everyone,
I hope someone can help me with this problem. It seems that about 30% of the e-mails I compose directly from my iPhone never reach their destination. When I hit "send" they simply disappear from the screen with no record of them in yahoo's "sent" folder.
It is getting very frustrating, especially after I spend 15 minutes or so tapping out an e-mail letter by letter (I am slow).
Is anyone else having this problem? If so, how did you solve it??
I am a bit of a neophyte so if you could walk through a solution, I would be most appreciative.
Thank You!

This is a know issue with Yahoo! Email on the iPhone. When sending email, sometimes it will say it has been sent, while it really has not (and it will not show up in the sent folder).
It has been discussed quite a bit in the forums, so a search will turn up a lot of discussion, but no solid solution. Some say Yahoo is working on a fix, other that Apple is.
The most common solution (which is usually temporary), is to either reboot your phone, and/or delete and reinstall your Yahoo! Mail account on your phone.

Mail folders moving from Yahoo to Gmail

I just got a new mac yesterday and have been running into many problems with it. Today, I noticed ALL of my folders in Yahoo had moved to my Gmail and some important ones (tax folders) were completely missing. Yahoo is not currently showing ANY folder where once I had about 15, now Gmail has about 10 of those folders and the rest are gone. I can even scroll and click on which email the saved messages were to and it was my yahoo but they're in freaking Gmail???!!!! I don't know what to do and I'm missing some very important folders. I'm thinking this is a Mail application issue on the new Macbook Pro. I've logged in to the website and it's the same, so I know its not just showing in the mail app. It's showing the same thing in Mail on my iPhone as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Austin

Thank you for replying. Yes I deleted the old email address..

I can't find older emails in my Yahoo account or iPhone app BUT I am able to see them on my Mac Mail version of email. sent emails are OK.

... for the past few months i have noticed that emails in my inbox Yahoo mail account older than a few weeks keep disappearing. i cannot find them in my Yahoo account or iPhone app BUT i can see them on my Mac Mail version of email. Emails that i have stored into folders in my yahoo account are still there... same with my sent emails... it's just the Inbox emails.. strange, very strange. I don't know how to 'move' the emails from my Mac Mail back to my Yahoo account.

Please read and begin using Can receive email, but not send email. I had a similar issue with Comcast mail (could receive by not send) and found my answer in this letter. For me it took resetting the outgoing mail and telling the system to use a password when sending outgoing mail. If you need help with that please advise and I'll tell you where to look.

Yahoo mail folders

how to get the mail folders created in Yahoo to show up on iphone4 like it did on previous generations of iphones.... can't seem to figure it out since push date became effective

Since a Yahoo email account can be accessed as a POP type account only with the Mail.app and other email clients, messages available in the account's Inbox mailbox at the server are the only messages downloaded by an email clients with a POP type account.
You can't export the mail folders that you created at the server so in order to have messages available in these folders downloaded by the Mail.app will require transferring those messages to the account's Inbox mailbox at the server.

I have an edit button in my e mail account but when I press it I don't get the ''get new mailbox' button. How can I create e mail folders? Thanks.

I want to create e mail folders for my goole account. I go to the account and as suggested in the forum i tap on edit. Then instead of getting at the botton a button that says 'new mailbox' i get 2 boxes one red that says delete and one blue that says move. This is on an ipad 2. I have also an ipad 3 and there it does work. I have checked the settings in both ipads and they seem identical to me.
How can I create the foldesr then on teh ipad 2?
Thanks a lot!

You need to be in the mailbox list for the account when you tap edit.
Sounds like you might be trying to do it from insider you Inbox.

Whenever I send an e-mail with my yahoo account which is also my apple ID a small icon (personal) picture is attached to the e-mail. How do I remove this picture from being attached to all of my outgoing messages?

Everytime I send a message from my yahoo account (which is also my appleID account) a small icon picture (which is a pic of my ex-boyfriend) is attached to the e-mail heading. I'm able to notice I want to remove this from happening. The picture is displayed on my iphone when I open up the mail.
Steps I take:
1. I write an e-mail message from my yahoo account to my other .edu account on a desktop computer.
2. I send the e-mail message from my yahoo account to my other .edu account on a desktop computer.
3. When I open up my .edu account on my iPHONE, there is a new message from my yahoo account.
4. Upon opening the e-mail message on my iPHONE, in the title heading it has the title of the email along with a small (upper right) picture on the iPHONE.
Another thing that I tested was the same thing on my iPAD for text messages:
1. I set up my text messages to my yahoo account (which is also my apple ID account)
2. I send a text message to a person and the same small icon picture is shown on the ipad with each message that is sent
3. The person receiving the text message does not get the small icon picture; however, on the ipad it shows this picture (WHICH NEEDS TO BE REMOVED)
I need to determine how this icon picture is associated with both my yahoo and apple ID account. The funny thing is that I don't have this picture on any of my devices (mac, iphone, ipad). It has been completely removed from all of my technology sources. I'm thinking it has to be something to do with the origniation of my apple ID.
PLEASE HELP ME....this picture is hurting my professionalism when I send outgoing messages.
Thanks.

Mail application - Yahoo account

Hey there!
After having my iPod i went and purchased the update which is great apart from the mail application. This is because i have tried to use it with my Yahoo account which is fine for recieving mail but unfortunately i cant send any! When i try to do so it says:
*Cannot Send Mail*
The connection to the outgoing
server "(null)" failed.
I am really satisfied with the product otherwise and was wondering if anyone has had the same problem as i have and if there are any solutions to overcoming the problem!
Thanks in advance!

What do you have set as the outgoing mail server for your yahoo account, on the ipod? Sounds like there is nothing set. Have you tried erasing the yahoo account completely from your ipod, then adding a new account, by using the yahoo preset.

Using mail for a yahoo account

Is there any way I can use Mail for my yahoo mail account?

This will only work if you are not a resident of the US. Or so I am told.
1. Log into your yahoo account using your web browser
2. Click on options
3. Click on pop access and forwarding
4. Click on web and pop access
5. Set the setting to how you want them.
6. Set up mail to access your yahoo account.
