Syncing Yahoo email and Mail

Hi there,
just wondering if its possible to some how sync Mail with Yahoo email account... that is... I have an elaborate folder setup on Yahoo, I'd like it so that if I use Yahoo email account and and create new folders that when I get home and use Mail, Mail syncs the folder structure to the yahoo structure, without me manually intervening... my Yahoo email is already set up so I can receive/send mail through Mail... its just the syncing part that somehow annoys me... I guess if this is possible for Yahoo, it would be possible for all other web mail accounts?

The 'secret' to mail synchronization, if there is one, is the use of IMAP technology, as opposed to the more common use of POP3.
If your Yahoo account supports IMAP, you're set. If it does not, it will not be possible to 'synchronize' your mail content or Yahoo mailbox structures.

  • I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts.

    I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new entries only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts. Outlook has multiple contact lists. Only one has any data. I can't find a way to delete the others and I can't keep the one I want to use at the top of the list. Any ideas?
    I have a question about email. I have several thousand emails in 10 or so days. How can I select multiple emails for deletion in stead of one at a time? How do I designate emails from a given sender as junk or block certain senders?
    Ron

    the spcs page on this site state which video formats the ipad supports
    I'd suggest converting your old videos to one of those formats
    handbrake is a free program which does this for you
    itunes used to be able to too when I right clicked incompatible media but don't see the option any more
    or maybe it only show when one right click incompatible media and currently my lib don't have any
    about the music then it's odd what formats are they?
    if they are acc protected have you tried to remove the DRM this can be don using itunes as
    apple don't use DRM for music any more

  • I downgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 7, do I have to reinstall firefox? Text in Yahoo email and Craigslist getting smaller and smaller automatically.

    I recently purchased a new laptop which came with Windows 8 (appears you can't find a new one with Windows 7 any more). Reinstalled the latest version of Firefox from the official Mozilla download site. Gave the laptop to my wife and she HATED Windows 8. So I purchased a license of Windows 7 and had Fry's downgrade my Windows 8 laptop to Windows 7. All going well for my wife except her Yahoo email and Craigslist adds get continually smaller and smaller. Did the CTL + trick and reset, but was wonder if I need to uninstall Firefox and reinstall it. My thinking is that the Firefox configuration may think it's still on a Windows 8 machine. Would that eliminate the continual need to CTL+ every time the text gets smaller?

    [[Unistall Firefox from your computer]] During the unistall process if you want to remove your Firefox user data and settings, put a check mark in the box that says Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations. If you select this option, Firefox will not preserve your bookmarks, saved passwords, and other data if it is installed again.

  • I have yahoo email and it downloads, but there is nothing there when I open it.  Does anyone know how to get the message?

    I have yahoo email and it downloads, but there is nothing there when I open the message. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    First of all, thank you for your patience, this is driving me nuts, can't imagine what you must think right now....
    I made a screenshot that hopefully clears this up:
    On the left is what I see when I open up Finder preferences, and then the Sidebar tab. As you can see all boxes are checked. The Middle folder that is open is what I see when I open Finder from the taskbar. which is fine by me. On the right however I have opened Macintosh HD. And as you can see, there is no sidebar, it just opens up with 4 folders.
    Weirdly enough, when I tried to add a photo to my apple ID just now, the sidebar came up just fine. And I have found that it does that with more programs. So it is literally only when I open up Macintosh HD that it wont do it. I hope this clarifies it a bit more.
    and to answer this question:
    I'm not quite sure I understand. Is the sidebar layout you showed me not the one you want? Because if it is the one you want then you should just close the preferences window behind it.
    this sidebar only pops up when I open the preferences - general - show in new finder  part and then choose 'other'. I cant close the preference window behind it, because then it will close that pop-out folder as well..

  • Difference between BT Yahoo email and new BT mail

    I am at the moment on BT Yahoo mail and when i get an email that looks suspicious  like i did this morning from BT Billing [email protected]   I use the ACTIONS tab on the purple bar and select "View Full Header" which then displays details of the email and in this case in showed       Return-Path: <[email protected]>     which it should of been Return-Path: <[email protected]>
    My question is will the new BT mail have the same function that allows me to "View Full Header"
    Mike

    I never saw that option during the field trial, however you can view the headers if you use an e-mail client.
    edit:- I have just looked at the trial account, and there is no option to view headers on webmail.
    There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

  • Yahoo email and tiger mail program

    Can I use the mail program that is on Tiger with my yahoo email account? how do I set it up?

    yes, you need a premium account to set up POP3 on yahoo USA. Yahoo Singapore is the nice one, and free...
    don't forget to setup the POP3 configuration on the "mail option"
    --> log in to yahoo mail (singapore) with iE or Safari, after login, then chose "option" --> "POP Access and Forwarding"...
    hope it help...
    cheers,

  • Yahoo Email and Calendar will sync to my iPhone, but Contacts will not.  Selection for "Default Account" doesn't even show in the Contacts section within Settings on the iPhone.

    I have always had my Yahoo Email, Calendar and Contacts synched to my iPhone.  However, I noticed some Contacts weren't synching from the Yahoo account to my iPhone, so I thought if I just deleted the Yahoo account and added it back, I'd be fine.  That worked fine for my Email and Calendar, but now I have NO Contacts from Yahoo on my iPhone.  When I go to Settings, under Contacts, it doesn't even have the option for 'Default Account.'  Help!

    Hello Marsha,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    It's not clear exactly what you're trying to accomplish here.  If you're wanting to set up SMS forwarding introduced in iOS 8, then please follow the directions below.  Also, your Apple ID should be an email address.
    To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
    Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
    Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
    On your iPhone:
    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
    Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
    Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity - Apple Support
    Take care,

  • Yosemite latest update has broken yahoo email from mail.app. Emails won't collect or send. Tried deleting the yahoo account, now I can't re-add it - "an unknown error has occurred"

    Did the latest update to Yosemite last night. All day my mail has played up. Either it won't collect email from IMAP for long periods, or sent emails would just sit in outbox then send them periodically.
    I've now tried deleting and re adding the account. But it won't re add correctly - I either get "an unknown error has occurred" when I try and add it as a "Yahoo" account, and if I try adding it as "other email account" it syncs up around 300 email messages and then won't work.
    Please help, email is a vital cog in my day to day Mac use.
    Thanks

    This worked for me for my Yahoo.

  • 2 MACs - Can I use .mac to sync POP emails from MAIL when traveling

    I use Yahoo Business (POP) email with the MAC MAIL software. I use a PowerBook G4 at home and just got a new iBook G4 for travel. I want to set up the travel computer and MAIL to receive and send mail while on the road. 2 Questions:
    1) In a perfect world: I want to sync the emails (both sent and received) I worked with on the road with my home computer so I don't have to re-do the work I just did on the road. Can I use .mac to sync my mailbox folders before downloading the messages at home or will this corrupt the library file and make me rebuild my folders every time? I know I can set up the MAIL account to leave the received message on the server for my home computer to download, but this causes a lot more work!
    2) If (1) is not possible, how can I capture the files I sent on the road to my home computer SENT folder? I save all sent messages at home.

    Via the .Mac website, you can have .Mac check the POP account's incoming mail server to download received messages from the POP account to your .Mac account's Inbox mailbox.
    In the interim, send a change of email address to all contacts providing your .Mac email address and start sending messages with your .Mac account.
    When creating a .Mac account in Mail - Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages are stored on the server by default along with received messages. If you want to keep all these mailboxes/messages synchronized with Mail on both Macs, make sure these settings for the account are the same with Mail on both Macs.

  • 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.
    http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=78799
    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.

  • Sync Yahoo email to my new curve

    Hi,
    have got my new curve on Orange. Have got my orange.blackberry.co.uk email address sorted Which i'm not really going to use to be fair!
    I would like to 'push' my Yahoo emails to my BB but wondering how to do it....any ideas?
    Cheers, Mike

    Hi Mike and welcome to the BlackBerry Forums
    You need to setup the account on your device.
    Option 1 -  If you have a setup mail icon on your device, add the account from there.
    Option 2 -  Go to your carrier web page, login on your account, go to setup BlackBerry mail and add the account, after a few seconds you receive the confirmation on your device and you have the mail in the device. 
    If I help you with any inquire, thank you for click kudos in my post.
    If your issue has been solved, please mark the post was solved.

  • When I open Yahoo email and try to compose an email, the Bing search tool is in the body of the email field.

    In IE I don't have the problem but in Firefox, when I open my yahoo mail and try to compose - that damn Bing search tool is right in the body of the email and I can't type an email. If I do type, my cursor size is the height and color of the Bing type which is large and light colored and you can't read the email. What a pain in the ass. Whoever is responsible for these pr0blems ought to be sent to a war zone. In their underwear.

  • Lost all previously sync'd emails and other strange things.....

    Yesterday I noticed some odd things on my BB and was wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar.
    1.  When I went into my phone to make a call around mid-day, the typical call log file was empty - first strange thing.
    2.  After I sent an SMS it was in listed in my mail as a sent message but then it would disappear from view.  The users received the message but my record of it disappeared without me deleting it.
    3.  I lost all previously sync'd emails from my corporate email before 4:56 PM yesterday.  Although emails from my comcast account which I sync still appeared.
    4.  When I looked at available memory it was 0% and then it slowly crept up to 14038765 bytes
    Based on number 4 above, am I to assume my BB dumped items due to a memory issue?
    Understanding that  can be the case I am still losing records of IM's received and sent without me deleting them.
    Any thoughts from the forum members are welcome.
    Lastly - what does Theme Controlled mean under General Options/ SMS and Email Inboxes?
    Have a nice day -

    Grapechic, this probably has to do with your device memory. Please see the article below (pulled from the support page on blackberry.com).
    Call and SMS logs disappear when BlackBerry smartphone is low on memory
    Doc ID : KB11570
    Last Modified : 2007-05-17
    Document Type : Support
    Environment
    BlackBerry® smartphone
    BlackBerry Device Software 4.2
    ProblemWhen the BlackBerry smartphone is low on memory, Short Message Service (SMS) logs and call logs disappear.
    CauseWhen the BlackBerry smartphone becomes critically low on memory, SMS messages and call logs will automatically be deleted in order to keep a minimum amount of free space available. This functionality is by design.
    ResolutionIf the BlackBerry smartphone becomes low on memory, try the following:
    Check how much memory is currently available. See KB04353 for further information.
    Ensure that media is saved on the media card, and not on the BlackBerry smartphone.
    Since web browsing results in cached files on the BlackBerry smartphone try clearing the browser cache. See KB03865 for further information.
    Lower the reserved picture memory setting. See KB12383 for further information.
    Use the application loader tool to remove any unused applications, such as themes, ring tones, or third-party applications.
    Perform a hard reset on the BlackBerry smartphone. Check the available memory after the hard reset. See KB02141 for further information.
    If the issue still persists, perform the following, checking the available memory after each step.
    Perform a hard reset on the BlackBerry smartphone. For instructions see KB02141. Then clear unnecessary calls logs and phone messages.
    Remove Phone Call and SMS log databases from the BlackBerry smartphone. See KB03974 for further information.
    Perform an application load to erase all applications and install the latest BlackBerry Device Software. See KB03621 for further information.

  • Problems accessing Yahoo email with Mail on iMac

    Hi, I can happily access my emails from Yahoo using my iPhone and iPad. However, neither my MacBook Pro or my iMac (both running Mavericks) can access my emails using "Mail". I can use Webmail on Safari ok, but whenever I try to access Yahoo mail with "Mail", I get a message saying I should re-enter my password, or that the Server is unavailable. I have 2 stage authorisation activated, and "Keychain", and I had to enter a special 'Yahoo-generated' password to allow my iOS units to work. However, each time I use my OSX units, an email says an unauthorised attempt to access my mails has been made.
    I've tried deleting the account and reinstalling and rebooting etc, to no avail. I think that Yahoo needs to authorise the iMac and Macbook, but I can't work out how to do it.

    Ive found the solution to this problem. Its the secondary sign in system used at Yahoo for unauthorised sign-ins. While its possible to authorise an iPad or iPhone using a special one off password, this cannot be done on a desk top. The simple solution is to switch off the secondary security sign-in option.
