Problem with Yahoo IMAP and Mail...

I'm having an issue with my Yahoo IMAP setup and mail on my desktop:
I have set up my yahoo email account with IMAP on both my iphone 4 and with mail on macbook pro.  It has worked fine, all my folders are synced up on both devices and everything runs well except for one small problem.  When I read an email on my Iphone, the mail program on my macbook pro never knows.  Every day I come back to my computer, and all of my yahoo emails remain as "new" and "unread" even though I had checked all of them on my iphone.  Its very weird because the opposite is not true - in other words - if I check a Yahoo email on my macbook pro, then my Iphone recognizes it and will show it is "read" as soon as I read it on macbook pro.
I also have an IMAP work email hosted by gator and a gmail account and I do not have this problem, its only on my yahoo account.  I have tried the following settings:
Incoming server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Incoming server - apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing server - smtp.apple.mail.yahoo.com
I have set everything to ssl with ports 465 and 993.  Still keep getting this same problem that my macbook pro does not recognize when emails have been read on my iphone (for only the yahoo account).
Anybody else having this problem or have any suggestions on how to fix??

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mobile/comms/mail/imap-01.html
To set up IMAP on your mobile device please use these settings:
Incoming Server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
Outgoing Server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Incoming Port - 993 (requires SSL)
Outgoing Port - 465 (requires SSL/TLS)
Username: full email address (for example, [email protected] or [email protected])
Password: the password you login to Yahoo! with.
If you are having trouble setting up IMAP on your mobile device we recommend reviewing your phones instruction manual or contacting your mobile provider for support.

You can use the following information to configure IMAP with many mail clients. If you encounter difficulties, we suggest contacting your mail client's customer support department for further instructions -- we're unable to provide assistance with configuring mail clients not listed here.
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - requires SSL:     imap.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 993
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS:     smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes
Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)
Port: 465 or 587
Account Name:     your full email address (including @gmail.com) Google Apps users, please enter username@your_domain.com
Email Address:     your full Gmail email address ([email protected]) Google Apps users, please enter username@your_domain.com
Password:     your Gmail password
Please note that if your client does not support SMTP3 authentication, you won't be able to send mail through your client using your Gmail address.
Also, if you're having trouble sending mail but you've confirmed that encryption is active for SMTP in your mail client, try to configure your SMTP server on a different port: 465 or 587.

  • Problem with .mac account and mail 2.05 (os x 10.4.4)

    hi!
    i am not able to add a .mac account in mail 2.05. system is os x 10.4.4.
    .mac settings in system preference work fine, on my cube with os 10.3.9 i can add the .mac account without problems.
    in mail under 10.4.4 i can´t even select accounts besides IMAP, POP and EXCHANGE. if i delete mails plist and even the mail file and achieving a "virginal mail" i just can select these 3 accounts (POP,IMAP,EXCHANGE). strange because if i setup .mac settings in system preferences before setting up a POP mail account (i have 3 POP accounts besides .mac), the .mac account is automatically set up in mail. but even than i can´t set up manually (another) .mac account (can´t be selected in account pulldown menue) as well as soon as i delete it it can´t be resetup.
    no way with new user, same procedure. i reinstalled mail from tiger-dvd as well as reinstalling 10.4.4 combo update and repair disc permissions. no way to get .mac to work the normal way.
    has anyone any idea?
    thanks so long,
    peter

    the empty folder ~/Library/Mail/ at root level seemed to be the problem of not being able to activating the .Mac account in mail. after copying this folder onto harddisk again (i have a new "20 iMac at work with 10.4.4) the problem was solved. no idea how to get this folder again besides installing a blank 10.4.x install onto external firewire hdd or having a second system...
    thanks so long.
    i guess i made a mistake when migrating my old mail prefs from 10.3.x to 10.4.x blank install when moving the folders to 10.4.x maybe i have first choosen the ~/Library/Mail/ folder at root level and when recognizing that mail is not working with new user, i´m sure i might have deleted the whole mail prefs and mail folder on root level and copied the whole stuff again into USER/Library/Mail/. Therefore the folder ~/Library/Mail/ at root level became empty. i purchased .Mac just a few days ago so i recognized this failure just now...

  • A different sort of problem with GMail IMAP on Mail.app (Tiger)

    I setup my GMail account using IMAP under Mail.app (Tiger). At first it worked fine. But now it just hangs when I go to the Inbox. I get the clock or pie or whatever that is next to Inbox. In the Activity Monitor I see...
    [[email protected]] Performing pended
    Copying Message
    [INBOX - [email protected]] Opening mailbox...
    Opening mailbox...
    I have let these sit for hours (we're talking over 12) and it gets nowhere. I have removed the account, deleted the associated files under ~/Library, recreated and it just comes back. I can use Thunderbird without any problems at all.
    Any ideas what might have happened? I did uncheck saving drafts, trash, and junk on server as Google suggests.

    Try this to determine the scope of the problem:
    1. Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Accounts and create a new user account for testing purposes.
    2. Either log out of your main user account or just quit Mail so that it does not interfere with the other user account.
    3. Log in as the newly created user and set up the Gmail IMAP account there.
    4. Check whether the problem also happens when logged in as another user.
    <hr>
    Do you have any Mail plug-ins or system utilities that could interfere with Mail? In the Finder, go to each of the following folders (if they exist). What do you see there?
    /Library/StartupItems/
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/
    /Library/LaunchAgents/
    /Library/InputManagers/
    /Library/Mail/Bundles/
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
    ~/Library/InputManagers/
    ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/
    To make accurately reporting this information easier, you may open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, type the following command (you can just copy it here and paste it in Terminal), and press <Return>. You can then copy the output of that command from Terminal and paste it in your reply to this post:
    ls -1 /Library/StartupItems /Library/LaunchDaemons /Library/LaunchAgents /Library/InputManagers /Library/Mail/Bundles ~/Library/LaunchAgents ~/Library/InputManagers ~/Library/Mail/Bundles
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

  • Problems with gmail imap and not seeing new messages in inbox

    I have done countless searches and have not been able to find anything that works. I am gathering that mail on the iPhone 4 and the ipad is not illy compatible. Here is what I am having trouble with:
    I recently switched my gmail from pop to imap. The reason behind this is that I could not have mail running on my MacBook and still see my messages on my iPhone 4 or ipad at the same time. What would happen is that any new messages would download onto my MacBook and I could not see them in mail in the inbox on my iPhone and ipad. So, I switched to imap so that I could leave mail running on all my devices and be able to see the same messages no matter what I was viewing them with. Here is the next problem. Now for some reason, only some messages go to the inbox, all of the rest go to the"all mail" folder. Is there a way to fix this so that I can view all of my messages in the "all inboxes" in mail?
    Maybe I am misunderstanding how this is supposed to work but any help is appreciated. I have checked the filter settings in gmail (which I had none) and the labels and still nothing works. I have also verified from the gmail help my mail and gmail settings.
    Hopefully this makes sense. Thanks for the help!

  • Problems with ical server and mail

    I have a Mac Mini with Mac Os X Snow Leopard Server. I have a external mail and when I receive a invitation ever it adds to local calendar, but I want to add in server calendar. How to configure it for add invitation to my server calendar?
    Another problem I have with calendar that's I can't send invitation to contacts I have added in CardDav Server, just I can send invitations to local contacts.
    And another question how to sync the user's contacts with CardDav account?
    Message was edited by: jvcapo

    this is a big pain in the ***, bug!
    when you have more than one calendar account (lets say one local one CalDAV iCal starts doing silly things.
    what i found that worked is click on the calendar you want the event to be in and drag the .ics to iCal from Mail and drop it on the calendar (in the middle of iCal NOT the Calendars name)
    i have write up a bug report to apple so hopefully it gets fixed now that MobileMe uses CalDAV.
    seems to be a problem that mail app doesn't see CalDAV calendars.

  • Problems with Gmail IMAP and 'use this Mailbox for..'

    Basically trying to re-setup Mail for Gmail IMAP after having to Time Machine back to a previous date after something or other stopped it working. Only thing that remains wrong is the Mail Trash. I have remapped the Drafts and Sent folders correctly, however the trash does not appear.
    I am using the Gmail Labs feature that lets you show or hide any of Gmails folders.
    If I try and delete a message it doesn't seem to go anywhere - if I delete it again it does dissapear (but I don't know where to!). If I force the Trash to appear in the sidebar (command 5) the little circular progress thing appears when i do the delete, but clicking on the Trash can shows no contents.
    Should I 'show' Gmail's Bin and set that for the Trash in Mail?
    I've obviously done something wrong here remapping or whatever so can anyone help me to sort it out? Please!

    With Yahoo Mail, and anotare account (Inacap Mail), I can only receive mails but I can't send emails. I don't know if this is a problem of the iPad or it is a problem with yahoo mail, because using Gmail and the email of my job I don' have this problem.

    Google them to confirm the settings that you need for the outgoing server, then check the setting you entered on the pad.  Pay real close attention to the outgoing server name, and port.  You may need to change in on the pad. 

  • Having problem with yahoo mail on my old iMac

    My old dome based iMac is running Tiger. My yahoo mail is version 3.0.2. When I try and compose an email lately I add files but when I get ready to send there is no "send" button anywhere to be found. I want to email pics from my old iMac to my newer iMac with 10.6.8. So what is going on with yahoo?

    I suggest a flash dongle.
    dropbox.com
    zip up all your pictures.  upload the pictures to dropbox.  download to new mac.  You do not need an app on your mac.  do a manual upload/download.
    yahoo mail is version 3.0.2
    I am not familiar with this.  Is it an app?
    Yahoo changed configuration for imap a week or so ago.  Perhaps you should check your parameters.
    I use Mac OS X 10.4.11 Mail program.  Works for me with yahoo imap protocol for input and smtp for output.

  • Is anyone having problems with Yahoo mail please ?

    Hi,
    I am having problems with yahoo mail.  I have to log in and out a few times before the inbox will open.  Having eventually got in, it fails to delete. 
    So I'm asking if others are experiencing similar problems please ?
    Best regards,
    dfenceman

    Hi,
    This problem seems intermittent.  It was working OK earlier this morning but now I can't open emails, I'm getting the following error message "We’re sorry, but there appears to be a problem loading the email".
    If I try forwarding the message to an alternative email address, as suggested on the Yahoo community forum, I get this error message "Yahoo Mail is having a problem retrieving the original email for reply or forward."
    Has anyone got a fix, or even a workaround please ?
    Can the mods help with this ?
    Best regards,

  • Problems with yahoo mail on Mail

    Hello
    I have configured Mail (Lion ) to get my mails from yahoo mail. It gets all my mails but the gear won't stop moving as if it is receiving mail. I have tried sending mails to myself and I get them, but it won't stop.
    After a while a window opens and asks me for the password, I write it down but then again another window opens and asks for the password again and again.
    I choose cancel and then nothing happens
    And I'm still on the same loop.
    Anyone can give me a suggestion?
    Thank you

    Yahoo Mail has been down for certain times yesterday and also today Tuesday June 19, 2012.
    There is a website called Down for Everyone or Just Me that you can check to see if there is a disruption.
    I have been having problems with Yahoo lately, also.
    They are having so many problems that it is almost not worth using.
    I rely on Road Runner lately.
