Russian roulette to check yahoo mail?

Is it me or is it like playing russian roulette when you want to check your yahoo e mail now a days? Also what about these pop up advertisements in screen it's like I can't even click on a listing on e bay.com anymore. Plus it seems as if all of these pop ups in screen are taking up all of hte CPU usage before the listed items can load up so you have to reload pages at least 2 times in a row. What's up with that? I purchased a Macbook Pro 17inch to avoid unwanted stuff online not to sign up for more junk. My old Windows Vista cpu is doing better than my Apple now! Fore real though, what's up with that?

  • Mail 3.6 Checking Yahoo Mail - Can I Add Junk E-Mail To My Yahoo Spam List?

    Evening all.
    I use Mail 3.6 to check all my e-mail accounts, including Yahoo mail. When I receive spam e-mail to my Yahoo account, I can add it to my spam list, but only for Mac mail and not my Yahoo spam list. Obviously the beauty of the Yahoo list is that I don't ever see spam from that address ever again (I have it set to delete immediately). Can I do this through Mail?
    Many thanks,
    J

    Necessity being the Mother of invention, I built a crude work-around and fixed half of the problem. I'd still be interested to hear if any of you have 'solved' the other half.
    First half fix: On the mail.yahoo.com site, go to the Sent folders and select all of the messages there. Then, in the header, click on the "Move..." button and then select the "Inbox" as the destination. (N.B. This can not be undone; You can move messages from the Inbox to other folders, but not to your Sent folder. Go figure.) The next time you synch (or "Get Mail") from the Mac's Mail app, these "sent" messages will appear in your Inbox. Sort the Inbox by sender and move the messages sent by you to your "Sent" mailbox folder.
    Now you've got a complete history of emails, both sent and received, on your Mac.
    Second problem not fixed: Messages sent from the Mail app do not appear in the "Sent" folder on mail.yahoo website. So while your Inbox is synchronized between your Mac and your yahoo! account, your Sent items are not.
    I was hoping that synching my Mac Mail with .Mac would allow me to see my sent messages remotely, from any internet browser. But at first blush, that dog don't hunt.
    Any advice - short of a wholesale move to my @mac.com email - would be appreciated greatly. Even if the advice is "give up the ghost; can't be done; give up the yahoo email"!
    Cheers.

  • When i check yahoo mail on iPad i have numerous empty messages with a 12/31/69 sent date that contain nothing.  they do not show on my mac though...what is going on?  i cannot delete them either....

    When i check yahoo email on my ipad2  there are numerous messages dated incoming on 12/31/69 that are empty.  They do not show up on my mac.  Also, if i try to edit emails on my ipad2  it will not allow me to delete them.  what is going on?

    Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • My yahoo mail will not work on my iMac or iPad...is there a problem with yahoo today?

    Was working fine until last night...can't check yahoo mail through my computer's mailbox.

    Well it is 14 days later, still no yahoo mail on my mac. I am leaving Yahoo FOREVER! Transitioning to icloud.com but cannot send or receive messages on my mac...help?

  • How can I check off multiple boxes in my inbox of Yahoo mail?

    How can I check off multiple boxes in my inbox of Yahoo mail? I think I've tried every possible keystroke combination. Using MacBook Pro OS10.8.2

    I'm trying to select a lot of emails to delete, not all of them and not necessarily all in order. On my older mac I think it was shift click on any of the check boxes I was going to delete. So far I haven't found any combination that works. I did try control click and option click.

  • I can't keep Yahoo mail account open 2 weeks in a row even with a mark in box KEEP ME OPEN. I did go to Tools, Options, Security to check SAVED PASSWORD box

    Usually, after opening Firefox, to check my Yahoo mail, I log in with my password, and mark the little box in front of KEEP ME OPEN, I can check my mail, and then close Firefox. Whenever I open Firefox, I can access my Yahoo mail account without typing my password. It stays open for 2 weeks. From yesterday, whenever I close Firefox, to access my mail account, I must log in again no matter whatever I've tried such as: Tools-Options-Security-Saved Password, or log out, then log in, type PW, mark little box to KEEP ME OPEN. I even uninstall Firefox, restart, download and re-install Firefox 8.0. The problem can never be solved. It's very annoying to log in by typing again and again my PW. Please help me out since I don't know what causes this problem. Thanks everybody who can help me out.

    Benji, I did get the email server error message again last night around 8PM, but again the email does eventually go. Wondering if the 6PM to 9PM time frame is a busy time for Yahoo email servers and somehow our iTouch or portable devices take a lower priority? I seem to get the error only once a day now around that time, then everything seems fine again...could be a server issue.
    Still looking for a pattern with the blank white web pages when I try and view a previous web page. Seems to happen most when I look at the "iPod touch User Guide" (on the included bookmarks)...most of the other times the previous web page loads fine so....humm....
    I also had an issue with the Camera app today, the red light button and Picture/Video switch were staying dimmed...finally turned off the iTouch (holding down the Home button then pressing the Sleep/Off button on top) then turned it back on, so the iOS could reboot. That fixed the Camera app. Might want to try that too....seems like it might be a fix for a few things, especially after updating to iOS 4.2.1...

  • Why have I lost all my check boxes in Yahoo mail ?

  • When I open my mail account I keep getting the message "Checking for Mail". I deleted the yahoo account and set it up again and I am still getting the same issue plus I am not seeing any of my mail or folders. Can anyone help?

    When I open my mail account I keep getting the message "Checking for Mail". I deleted the yahoo account and set it up again and I am still getting the same issue plus I am not seeing any of my mail or folders. Can anyone help?

    This is how I fixed it on my new iPhone 5S. Using the standard yahoo setting on my phone.
    You will have to access  "managing your app passwords" on your account profile for yahoo. Generate password for your app. For example: "My iPhone 5S'
    Go to your Iphone and set up your yahoo mail account on your phone the normal way and you have to use the generated password.  instead of the yahoo account password.

  • I can't access my Yahoo mail on Iphone 4s over wifi at work. "Checking for mail" is going on forever. Any idea?

    I can't access my Yahoo mail on Iphone 4s over wifi at work. "Checking for mail" is going on forever. Any idea?

    You cannot change the incoming mail ports on the iPhone,  As KiltedTim mentions, if it works elsewhere on 3g and wifi, then it almost certainly is your employers firewall blocking access.

  • Yahoo mail continues to check mail stuck in loop, drains battery, heats up.

    Using Yahoo mail on an iPhone 3GS with iOS4 then upgraded to iOS4.0.1, same issue.
    Set Yahoo mail (pop) and it seems to check mail the checking mail spins, then it seems to start looping checking mail, it seems that it finds a different # of message that need to be loaded in. As an example, it will flash just below the message in the inbox:
    Load more messages...:
    39 total, 2 unread
    Then checks mail again and flashes the same "Load Messages..." but the # are a bit different 34 total, 4 unread, flashes, then loops again back to the Load more messages... 39 total, 2 unread
    Also, when I try and delete messages it will say unable to move message to trash and then the attempted "deleted" messages will pop back into the inbox of all messages.
    And also sometimes it will when I try and go into the "all boxes" the message will be there, then disappear and then re appear later, or while I am reading the 1st unread message it will attempt to refresh and all the messages dis appear then quickly re appear. All this crazy mail has happened since the iOS4 & 4.0.1 update. besides being a total drag, the looping is killing the battery and heats up the iPhone in my pocket and when I hold it the unit is hotter on the backside????/

    I have had the same problem - especially when out and about with 3G on. Turning the phone off and then on again [press and hold the power button] does work every time but it is a bit of a pain.
    The other way is to press and hold the home button which will kill the last app [email] running or the one you are in. I've found that maneuver stops the program from continuing to check for mail and running down the battery. It is less effective at getting mail to connect properly again.
    I have not found it necessary to delete and add accounts and so forth.

  • Yahoo Mail not being downloaded,  never stops "Checking for Mail"

    Since the first time I synced since the new itunes version and the 1.0.1 update, I have not received any mail populating into my Yahoo account. I tried the restart, shutting off the other email accounts, etc.
    I does not push, and when I try the Refresh, it never stops "Checking for Mail".
    My gmail works fine.
    Anyone have any ideas to correct?

    Same here but a little stranger. Two items:
    (1) If I go into my Yahoo Drafts, or Sent, or Trash, check mail works fast and I get the "Updated 8/26/07 time" message fine and it's accurate.
    If I switch to Yahoo In, the initial footer says "Updated 8/14/07 xxx" and has said that for a week or so. It quickly changes to "Checking for Mail" and then never stops.
    Anyone else see the "Checking for Mail" only on the IN box but not the others.
    (2) I have been sending test emails to Yahoo (basic account). #1 happens as above (ie no mail seems to arrive). But if I scroll to the bottom of the IN box and click "Load 25 more messages", it does seem to pick up the new messages. "Checking for Mail" is still going strong. This seems to work most of the time.
    Anyway. Not sure it this may help anyone figure this out.
    [I have tried the approaches suggested here such as deleting Yahoo, turning off other emails, resetting network, changing IMAP inbox location, etc]

  • Since ios 6 update hotmail fetches or push on its own. I have hotmail set to manual. Best I can tell its only hotmail and not yahoo. Is this a known problem? How do I make hotmail stop checking for mail when I have it set to manual?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

  • I have a 27" imac. If I log on to yahoo mail, the color wheel comes up and i cant check email or send. It only happens as soon as i log into my yahoo mail! Please help someone.

    I am new to Using Apple. I've had my Imac for about 5 months, Recently when I log on to my Yahoo mail, if I click on any of my email, or if I try to compose an email, the color wheel turns on and it just freezes up, I am not able to view my email. This only happens with my Yahoo mail.  Someone please help? Any Suggestions?

    Hi Lizzy..
    If you are using web based email (accessing from Safari), from the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab.
    Click: Show Cookies
    Delete all Yahoo cookies.
    Now from the menu bar again click Safari / Empty Cache.
    Restart your Mac, launch Safari. Try Yahoo.
    If the problem persists, there's a better way to access your Yahoo mail without a browser.
    Launch the Mail application. Either from your Dock or Applications folder.
    From the Mail menu bar click Mail / Preferences then select the Accounts tab then the Account Information tab.
    Click + under the Accounts window on the left.
    Type in your name, Yahoo email address and password.
    Click: Create
    No more having to use Safari or any browser to access your Yahoo mail. Just click the Mail icon in the Dock.
