Pulling folders in to Mail from Yahoo account

Hi. When I set up my Yahoo email account on my iPhone it pulled in all the folders I'd created and it allows me to file emails in to these folders from the handset. When I set up Mail on my iMac with the same Yahoo account it didn't do this which makes the Mail function pretty useless. The account is pulled in via POP and my OS is Snow Leopard. If anyone can help I'd be truly grateful!

It works on the iPhone because Yahoo have setup a special way of working with the iPhone called 'Push' email, it is the way you get your emails on the iPhone as soon as they arrive. This in effect means that on the iPhone Yahoo are offering an IMAP mail service. Unfortunately Yahoo do not offer an IMAP mail service for computers, they only offer POP email. This is not a failing of the computer, it is down to the service that Yahoo provide.

IOS mail not picking up mail from yahoo account

Hi guys,
few days ago i deleted some of my mail by accident, so i used yahoo's restoring email service to get my mail back.
after its restored all my mails are back, but on my iOS for some resason 'inbox' just not picking up any mails at all (old and new mails), all the other folders works just fine (e.g. sent, junk, trash and my persoanl folders).
I have tried to delete the yahoo account from iOS then reinstall it, still the same problem. but on my Mac's Mail everything is just fine.
I really dont know what do to next.
hope someone can help me out here,
thanks in advance!

Yahoo email hasn't been reliable for me. I get a lot of errors when yahoo goes to put a copy of my sent email in to the sent folder. I am using thunderbird with imap.
Does the wife have a paid account? I do and I think it is required for downloading your email.
The email pop protocol hasn't changed much so I'd think 10.3 would still be ok.
What to do?
wait.
Try another mail reader. set to leave on server. could try thunderbird with imap. not perfect.

Fetching e-mail from yahoo account

My iPhone 4 will not fetch new emails for my yahoo account. I have the settings to push for the account but I still have to open my mail in order to get new emails. Any ideas why this is happening??

If you used the Yahoo account preset to create the account which creates the account as an IMAP account with push access for received messages and you have push enabled for the account, if new messages are not received/downloaded until you access the Mail app, that is fetching. Fetching can be done automatically or manually which is separate from push access for received messages.
Yahoo has had on and off again problems with this since day one 3 years ago which was an entirely new protocol for Yahoo at the time.
Try turning push access off for received messages and set Fetch to automatically check the account every 15 or 30 minutes to see if there is any change with an automatic fetch setting.

Un-synchronize ML Mail from Yahoo account?

Just got ML yesterday and i'd like my Mail app to behave the same as it did in SL. I'd like it to be set that I can delete emails on my Yahoo email page through my browser, but that they are then NOT also deleted on my ML Mail app.
In SL I could delete email on Yahoo, but they'd still remain on SL Mail.
How can I do this in ML Mail please?

I spent an hour on the phone with Yahoo Tech support yesterday (since I pay for it I figured I might as well try)..
Long story short -- they weren't much help.
Yahoo outsources their tech support and so it was hard to understand this guy to begin with.. but he kept giving me a song and dance about how "yahoo's servers were so very powerful" they can't be connected to multiple devices.
Meaning, you can't be logged in and checking your yahoo mail via a webpage, and via another device at the same time. It would put your yahoo mail account into "error state 5"...
I pay for yahoo specifically so I can use the iPhone and the Webmail at the same time.. You can't get the pop/smtp access without paying for it.. And now they are telling me that its not possible to do this?
I don't buy it.. His excuses really didn't make sense to me.. I don't understand why I can't be logged in via two different devices..

Error message whilst trying to get mail from yahoo account

I have been trying tu setup my yahoo acct buy I simply cant. .mac works fine, but i cant seem to connect to yahoo. an error message appears that says "The user name or password for "imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com" is incorrect." can someone translate this to english?

It means what is says. The server that you are trying to connect to - the one with your email - says that either your user name or password is incorrect.
If you have double check then it is probably a server issue. You'd need to talk to Yahoo about it.

I frequently receive a notice from Mail that it "can't connect" to my yahoo mail account, despite the fact that I can receive mail from that account. The banner appears with my coded password highlighted and asks me to choose 'cancel' or 'ok'.

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.

I can't SEND e-mail from an account on my iPad 4, that CAN receive -mail

Hi Again,
I am hoping someone on this forum will possibly have an answer to a very confusing problem.
I can't seem to get one of my e-mail accounts to be set up 'properly' on my iPad 4. The account in question is an account from BT, which has @btinternet.com at the end of it. I have 'installed' and deleted this account more than ten times. When setting up this account (as with all other accounts that DO work properly), the only info I am 'asked' to input is my name, e-mail address and password, in the 'text entry spaces' that relate to the INCOMING mail server. When this is done I USUALLY see the word 'verifying........' Then the 'blue tick marks' confirming that the info I have entered is correct. The validity of this info is also confirmed by the fact that this account can RECEIVE the e-mails sent to it.
Each of the last four or five times I have deleted this e-mail account and re-installed it I have NOT seen the word 'verifying.....' And I have NOT seen the aforementioned blue ticks. Selecting 'done' after re-entering my info just makes this settings box disappear, rather than show the verifying and the blue ticks, which then allows me to see that the account is 'properly' set up - or should be anyway.
Even so I still get all the e-mails again, but still cannot SEND, OR REPLY
The error message I get every single time I try to SEND, OR REPLY using this same e-mail account is:
'Cannot Send Mail'
'The username or password for SMTP: ***********@mail.btinternet.com is incorrect'
My username and password are NOT incorrect. The set up process does not even ask for a username or password for 'SMTP'!
Even if I go further into the settings for this account, I can find two spaces where I COULD put a username and password, for SMTP, but these spaces already have the words 'optional' in them so they are not supposed to be 'required'. Even if I DO put in these spaces my surname and password for this e-mail account it does not make any difference.
I have tried 'switching on' the 'other mail servers' which are shown below the 'Primary mail server' in another settings box, for the btinternet.com e-mail account settings, but this still does not stop the error message, AND the e-mail in question is then actually sent from one of the e-mail accounts connected with the 'other mail servers' - I know this because it appears in the 'sent' items folder of whichever account my iPad has decided to use at the time (not always the same one either). It also appears in the sent items folder of the account that I TRIED to use, despite the fact it was NOT sent from this account, and the error message said I cannot send mail (from this account).
I have contacted Apple Tech Support and they have told me that the problem is NOT with the iPad, it is with the 'account provider'. This is because they say that the info held and used by BT - the info that is used as the 'correct info', that is compared to what I have put in the set up boxes on my iPad - IS actually the info that is incorrect despite the fact that the info I use on my iPad and the info I use on the BT website (which was originally determined by ME when I first got my account) and is held by BT, is the info that is causing the problem of the error message. To put it another way, the info referred to in the error message is NOT incorrect, the error message is incorrectly generated.
Typically, BT have tried to deny the problem is caused by them because 'the info referred to' - which is my e-mail address and password - works correctly an ALL places that is supposed to work (on the BT website) AND works with the BT/iPad applications like BT Wi-Fi, BT Smart talk, etc. :( :( :(
Any help or advice that anyone could give will be very greatly appreciated
Many thanks
Bob

Update to above question:
Hello All,
To anyone with the same problem described above, on THEIR iPad (if it is running iOS 7.0.2):
Go to Settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars; DELETE your *******@btinternet.com e-mail account, that you originally set up either using 'Other', or the 'BT' option which I am sure was in the list previous to the iOS 7 update.
Then ADD a NEW account choosing YAHOO from the list of options. DO NOT USE 'OTHER'.
Enter the correct details just as you (almost certainly) had already done in your previous attempts using 'other'.
When you see the 'verifying......' and 'the blue ticks' you should be able to exit settings and open your mail app and then receive all your 'old' e-mails again, AND be able to SEND as well.
All my 'old' e-mails, were NOT found in the 'old e-mail' folder though. THEY are still in my inbox.
So this fix worked for me.
After I deleted my account from 'OTHER' and put it in Yahoo, I like other people also ended up with more folders.
I hope this works for you on YOUR Apple devices.

Accessing Outlook Mail Which Receives Push Mail From Yahoo

I have Outlook 2007 on a PC that I use for work. I do not use an exchange server. Rather, I receive my mail from Yahoo via push to Outlook 2007 on my PC. I have my iPhone set up using Yahoo. After I read my mail and delete the messages on my iPhone, I find that when I connect to my PC to sync, all the emails I deleted on my iPhone appear again on it. I can only assume that they are being brought back because the iPhone is getting them from Outlook 2007. I need to keep the emails on my PC in Outlook 2007 for future reference, but not on the iPhone. Is there any way I can still keep syncing my contacts and calendar with Outllook 2007 but keep the deleted email from appearing on my iPhone again?
Thank you!

Turning off SSL will help for incoming mail, but it will disable your ability to send email. At least, that is what happened to my sbcglobal.net account. SSL is required for outgoing mail. And for incoming mail, when I turned SSL off, I got a nasty email from AT&T that not using SSL was a big no-no. I have scoured the forums and all of the online sources I could find, and there does not appear to be a good fix. Has anyone called Apple Tech Support or AT&T about this issue? I assume that people have, and that Apple and AT&T have not provided a viable solution. Hopefully there will be a fix in a future update to Leopard. 10.5.2 didn't seem to fix the problem.

My 3GS will not send e-mails from yahoo. Keeps saying the username or password is invalid. How can I fix this?

Any idea how I get fix my iphone so it will send e-mails from yahoo? It keeps saying username or password invalid. I can receive e-mails without any problem. I have tried deleting the account and reinstalling it, chek the username and password and they are correct. Went under outgoing server but it is grayed out and won't allow me to edit and add the optional username or password or anything in that section. Please help.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Ipad 2 not auto receiving mail from IMAP account

Hi, I have an iPad 1 & 2 and an iPhone 3Gs.
I have may email accounts with different servers, Apple, Yahoo, Google & 1&1.
All auto receive mail via push, except for the 1&1 acc on the iPad2.
Checked & double checked settings are same as on iPhone & iPad 1 which both receive mail from that account without issues.
The only way I can get to see new mail from the 1&1 acc on it is to open the mail app and sit back for it to come in!
What could I possibly be doing wrong? Is anyone else having the same issue?

I am. I have a G5 and an iPad. I can get my mail from the G5, or by logging onto the server via Internet, but my mail app tells me it can't connect to the server. I've tried all the fixes on the other, similar threads... Set both fetch to manual, hard restart, reconfigure, etc. I can get it to work once after hard reboot.

Apple mail has stopped downloading my e-mails from Yahoo sky mail

My Sky e-mails have stopped downloading through Apple mail on my macbook and my iphone 5 but I have another address that still works (also through Yahoo!!). The mail download bar starts up but then doesn't download anything. I can send e-mails from Sky account through Apple Mail but the e-mail doesn't show up in the sent folder. I've tried deleting and reinstalling the account but this has done nothing.

When I go into the mail account, it tells me that I have a messages total and an amount unread - the 'load more messages' text but won't do anything else

"This message cannot be sent at this time." I have been getting this pop-up for 3 days when trying to send out mail. I don't know what to do! I cannot send mail from this account on any ISP. Please help!

lots of people seem to be havgin a problem sending email from iCloud webmail.
does your email address have uppercase characters in it?
if so, try creating an alias in lowercase (go to preferences in iCloud webmail and select 'accounts') and see if email sends okay from that
