Synchronize local Mail with Yahoo

I have configured Apple Mail to receive mails from my Yahoo a/c. And regularly use the "Mailbox>Synchronize 'Yahoo'" option to synchronize mails between the two. My understanding of 'Synchronization' is that I have the same set of emails in all my folders on my local drive (Apple Mail) as that on my Yahoo server (online account). However, I notice that this is not the case.
My 'Inbox' seems to have the same mails. However the 'Sent' items do not. When I send an email from 'Apple Mail', it does not appear in the Sent items when I access Yahoo by logging onto the Yahoo server through Safari. And vice-versa.
Can someone help me with how to synchronize the two so that I always have all mails on both - Mail as well as Yahoo server?

If it's a free Yahoo! mail account, you can't without something like MacFreePOPs. If you've bought one of the Yahoo! Plus mail accounts, there are instructions on Yahoo's site.

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.

Can't sync mail with Yahoo mail

I want to transfer my Yahoo contacts to Apple's mail program. I checked "synchronize with Yahoo" in my Address Book Preferences. I also went to Isync preferences and checked all there, including "enable syncing on my computer." The next thing I'm supposed to do is hit the "Sync now" button from pull down preferences but I don't have a Sync Now button. I don't want to select devices because I don't want to sync a device. Basically, I can't figure out how to get the Isync program to sync now.

iSync itself is only for syncing Contacts and Calendars to non-Apple mobile phones via a USB or Bluetooth connection. However the iSync application does provide access to a couple of settings that affect system-wide syncing.
To turn on the Sync menu, open iSync's Preferences, and then check the *Show status in menu bar* option

Can't set up mail with yahoo email address..

I apologize if this has already been asked, but in setting up Mail, i keep getting an error while trying to set up my yahoo account. Will the mail program work with web based email? if this has been asked before, please direct me.
Thanks!

Hi Ryan
Mail will not work with Yahoo's free email service, but will work if you have the paid Yahoo service. This is because the free service does not allow mail access by POP mail clients.

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..

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

Mac Mail with Yahoo address Question

I have several email accounts, yahoo, hotmail, etc set through mac mail. I have all the boxes checked to preserve the message from
the beginning. I have one client whom I email frequently back and forth with and I was just recently told that they cannot see the
message string that it is cutting off my original message. Can anyone help me with what is going on. I have tested it between my emails
and I can see verything fine. I have also went into Yahoo and chnaged settings and still nothing. I have a feeling it is something on their end
but not sure. Any help is appreciated.

Honestly, this does sound like something on their end. Send an email from your account in question to another person (say your parents, spouse, etc.) and see if they notice the same problem.

Push e-mail with Yahoo

I have been having trouble with my e-mail pushing to my iPhone for awhile now. I have an att.net account (which is a yahoo e-mail account). When Outlook is open on my computer, my e-mail will not push to my phone. However, if I close Outlook, my e-mail begins to push to the phone. This was not always a problem. In the past I was able to get my e-mail on my computer and phone at the same time. I'm assuming it started back when I installed the 2.1 update, but not 100% positive. I have installed 2.2 and I don't see that the problem is fixed. It seems ridiculous that I have to close Outlook in order to get e-mail on the phone. Anyone else having this problem and know what to do to fix it?

no idea on a fix, it's in apple's hand. I can say that maybe if they supported imap idle, we could have some choices.. as it sits.. if you want real push, you gotta buy mobile me. which frankly, is not worth it.

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.

Mac Mail with yahoo plus account difficultly with account reconditions and outgoing serving sending problems

I'm not exactly a techy. I have been having real trouble using YAHOO and now YAHOO PLUS with service useing the MAC MAIL application. This problem started a few weeks back in LION OS and I had apple support and the guys at the genuess bar give it shot and they always improved things but the problem persisted. I had apple care as recently as last night. After I got of the phone with the gentlemen I started having problems with the outgoing servier again. We even looked into the keychain for problems. This morning I downloaded OS 10.8 and MAIL is running better but yahoo is still buggy. Often either the password is not reconized or the outgoing mail can not be sent from the yahoo server. If I directly to yahoo.com and use their site I don't have this problem so it must be either a compadablity problem.

It can't be a software conflict, because Mail is only connecting to a mail server for Yahoo!, so there's no software conflict to be had.
Your profile says you're running 10.4.1, and the latest release of Tiger is 10.4.11; is there some reason you haven't updated to that version yet? By doing so, it will also update Mail to correct any bugs or security flaws that could be causing this problem.
Even if that's not the problem, you should try opening Mail while holding down the Shift key. Then Control-click in an empty area of your mailbox list pane and select Get Info from the contextual menu. A window will open and you should use the popup menu to select that Yahoo! Mail account and see if it will connect and tell you how many messages are there, and you should be able to download them from that window.
If that doesn't work, post back with your Yahoo! account settings for the incoming and outgoing mail servers.
