Mail with Yahoo account doesn't exit when shutdown or logout

Hi,
I'm using OS X Mail with a Yahoo Imap Account (setup by Mail itself) on a new MB Air.
Reading, writing Mail works fine, but: when logging out or restarting the system, the mail program (in background, hidden display) does not quit. After some seconds I get a message from the system saying that I have to quit Mail (translated from german) manually for the system to restart.
This behavior does not occur always, but sporadically (each 3rd or 5th time).
If I display the 'Activity' window of Mail in this cases, I can see that there are 2 jobs waiting forever: 'empty the trash' and 'logoff imap server' (translated again). One of them (or both?) seems to be a problem for the Mail application causing the endless waiting.
All other Mail acounts (iCloud, Google) do not have this problem, only Yahoo. The Problem can also be reproduced on two other Macs with fresh created Yahoo Email acounts.
Sorry for my bad english. I hope someone has a solution/hint for my problem.
Greets from Germany,
Peter

Partial download mail with Yahoo account

Hi.
I have Mail 3.6 on Mac os 10.5.8 and 2 account: Gmail and Yahoo. Gmail works fine but Yahoo has downloaded only mail until 25/09/2008.
I deleted mail account in Mail e re-created but problem didn't resolve.
I have Powerbook G4 with Mac os 10.4.11 and Mail 2.6 works fine with both and I setup that mail on server doesn't delete.
Have you any suggestions?
thanks

I came across your post when trying to sort out the same problem - which I have now resolved. My account stopped downloading from yahoo server post 21 Aug 09. I moved the contents of the inbox to a temp folder and then removed and re-added my account. The server said there were 916 messages but only downloaded approx 80% up to 21 Aug 09. I then double clicked on the inbox and selected "Account Info" which listed all 916 on the server. At the top of the list there were 10 messages with "Sender unknown" and with received "Today". I removed them from the server and Mail dowloaded the missing e-mails. I hope this helps.

CANNOT SETUP MAIL WITH YAHOO ACCOUNT

I've tried over and over to try and setup my mail account on Mail and it always ends up saying that it it failed to login into the mail server "plus.pop.mail.yahoo.com." I retyped all the account information and double-checked to make sure the user name and password was correct but the same thing happened. I don't have a Yahoo Plus account, just a regular one so I tried putting in "pop.mail.yahoo.com and once again, no juice. May I please get some help with this??

no one knew why i couldn't get my messages from the pop server at att/yahoo into my mail on my mac. there were no answered questions to the support topic why can i see mail activity....messages on the server, but not coming into the mail box? sending is fine, but for some reason, it suddenly stopped 3 days ago and for 3 days i searched for a fix. the only way i found this was a mail access error on the web mail thru att.yahoo where my messages showed up (they were also showing up on the i phone, not the mac)...had to verify the email....and while waiting, i found the att yahoo help page that cleared the whole problem
not removing files and putting them back in while opening and shutting mac....all the ports and ssls were checked and correct
apparently you have to clean your cache
totally all att's fault
Web Mail - How do I clear my browser's cache?
It's true, a clogged cache can slow down and even stop your browser. Who wants that? Not us. Let's get to work clearing your cache. Which browser are you using? Instructions are included below for each of these:
Firefox 2.x for Windows or Mac
1. For Windows or Mac, click Tools and select Clear Private Data.
2. In the window that opens, select whichever items you'd like to clear. When you're done, click Clear Private Data Now.
Safari 3 for Mac
1. In the Safari menu, click Empty Cache. That's it!
2. To also clear the History, click the History menu and click Clear History (at the bottom).

How to sync your mail with yahoo

does anyone know how to synck your mail with yahoo mail?

Hello bttrcup and welcome to the Palm forums.
The easiest way that I know to setup everything for Yahoo on your new Pixi is to simply add your Yahoo email account to the email application. When you do, webOS' Synergy will also setup your calendar, contacts, and IM to sync with your Yahoo account.
This is how I've setup my Sprint Pre to sync with my Yahoo account. I have to admit that I don't use my Yahoo account so I only log into it when I'm troubleshooting something like this.
Hope that helps.

Unable to open any e-mail in yahoo account...

Unable to open any e-mail in yahoo account or even use any drop-downs on the yahoo webpage. The multi-color pin wheel just spins endlessly. Only on the iMac desktop; our iMac laptop works fine and open yahoo e-mails. I unchecked the 'safari reset: remove all website data' several days ago. Ideas?

Problem solved. Safari "Help" suggested adding "/index.html" at the end of the webpage address. It worked! Now yahoo e-mails can be opened, deleted, etc. Hope this helps others with the similar glitch.

Hi i m getting problem with yahoo account

hi i m facing problem with yahoo account like apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com is in correctly could u solve this one plz as soon as possible.thnx

Delete the account.
Add the account back using the correct settings.
If the problem continues, contact Yahoo for assistance.

I have Mail with 5 accounts. The problem is that one of them is constantly active, that is with the moving wheel showing a search for new mails.

I have Mail with 5 accounts. The problem is that one of them is constantly active, that is, with the moving wheel showing a search for new mails, while the others accounts are not active.

hello
Would not take the moving wheel as indication that account is active. There could be other reasons for it. From the menu Window, choose 'connection doctor' that will show you how each account has connected. Next, from the Window menu choose 'activity veiwer' that will show you exactly what activity is causing the moving wheel.

Folders in Mail with POP Account

Hi!
I would create folders in Mail with POP account. It is possible? Why not?
Thanks!

As James has explained - you need an IMAP email account in order to create additional mailboxes or folders on the iPad. Even though you may be able to create a folder on your computer - which is simply a locally stored folder - or on the POP account server, those will not sync to the iPad POP email account.

"Cannot Get Mail" When Checking Mail on Yahoo Account after 1.1.2 update

I recently updated iPhone to 1.1.2 and now cannot get yahoo email. 1.1.1 worked fine. When I attempted to check for e-mail on iPhone it returns error "Cannot get mail: The user name or password for "imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com" is incorrect." I have checked my username and password and I am positive that it is correct. I just logged onto the yahoo mail website with the same username and password that I entered into my iPhone. BTW, I have only alphas for a password and I also tried updating my password online and then modifying the iPhone to match. It authenicates the password when updating the account but will receives the same error above when attempting to update e-mail. I just have the standard yahoo account which shouldn't matter because it is the one that i used on 1.1.1. I have tried everything i can think of and just cant seem to get it to work so I'm hoping someone here can help me out. Thanks

I have a new iPhone with 1.1.2 and have this same problem. My Yahoo mail is set up correctly, and I can send mail from the mail client, which shows up when I check my 'sent' folder on yahoo using the browser interface from my computer.
I can't check mail - I get the "The user name or password for "imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com" is incorrect. Since I can send email from the iphone, and then see what I sent on both my work email and in my 'sent' folder, it's not a user or pw setup problem.
I tried turning it off and on and that didn't do it. I have a free yahoo account, so I believe I have to use the Y! option.

Hello,
Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
Please report back to say if this helped you!
Thank you.
