Trouble Deleting Yahoo emails

I frequently get the following error when deleting emails form my Macbook using the mail application:
The IMAP command “UID COPY” (to Deleted Messages) failed for the mailbox “INBOX” with server error: UID COPY Server internal error.
This only happens with my Yahoo mail account.
Any ideas. Eventually, I retry and the messages delete. Kinda annoying, as there is so much junk mail one needs to delete these days.
Thanks

Yahoo email is web based. Which browser & version are you using? Have you contacted Yahoo email tech support? If not, why not?

How can i recover deleted yahoo email? its also deleted in trash?

how can i recover deleted yahoo email? its also deleted in trash?

I presume since you posted here that you have a TC running backups with Time Machine???
Otherwise no I doubt you can recover it. Once deleted from trash it is likely overwritten on the disk if you used it at all.
Look at recovery of particular emails here.
Edit this is apple mail.. I have no idea what client you are talking about for yahoo mail.. if it is web mail and trashed.. and not in a trash box then it is likely gone. It depends on settings on the local computer.. if you are downloading mail or simply using it via the yahoo mail page..
I would recommend you contact yahoo or google for their mail server info and how to recover. Assuming you are using web mail.. as there is actually nothing locally you can do to recover it.

Having trouble with Yahoo email. Will read a few emails and then the infamous spinning colored wheel appears and takes forever. Have to shut down and go through the whole cycle again. Please help.

Sorry first post in this forum. I can log on to Yahoo email, read a few emails and then the infamous multi-colored spinning wheel appears and I end up having to shut down and cycle back in again. I have a 2011 MacBookPro 17 not quite a year and it just started acting up this way. Any suggestions. Thanx.

Trouble with Yahoo emails on my iMac

I have a yahoo email account. When I sign in the email aspect of the account does not work. I am unable to open any of my emails. I can see them but there is no funtion on the email page. I logged into this account from another computer and it works fine. It seems to be something wrong on this particular computer.

Hello! I am having trouble deleting any emails on my Mac OS X. I keep getting this error message "this operation couldn't be completed. Input/Output err." Any suggestions? I have rebooted.

Hello,
I have a Mac OS X. I just had some memory installed and had to update my Mail and had a ton of old mail still there. Since then, my mail has crawled so slow and I have tried to delete my old emails and I keep getting this error message "the operation couldn't be completed. Input/Output error". Any suggestions?
Thanks!

The next time you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Select any messages timestamped from then until the end of the episode, or until they start to repeat. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Still having trouble with yahoo email account

Getting user name or password incorrect message. I recently traded in my phone for a mew one, both 2nd generation. I tried reseting the password, to no avail. Posts on this topic haven't helped.
Thanks

One thing that might help.
Try setting up using other instead of yahoo.
Make sure your on edge or 3g and not wifi.
Choose imap as account type when prompted.
incoming mail server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Enter username and password
Outgoing mail server: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
Enter username and password
Answer no to try w/ out SSL message
Now save again and save anyway.
Now go into the account advanced settings and turn ssl off.
Hope this helps.

Having trouble deleting an email account from my iPhone.

I want to delete a mail account and then add it back on to the phone (hoping to free up space). I've tried going into "Settings" then "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" then into the account I wish to delete and selecting "Delete Account" but the account is still there. How can I actually delete the entire thing?

The only options are to either re-use one of the accounts previously created, or to create a new account to use on another iOS device or Mac (running OS X 10.7.2 or later), if you have one.

Trouble deleting mail

Why am I having trouble deleting some email, especially from advertisers. Mail program tells me it cannot delete and then I have to force quit the program to get out of it.

I hate Lion. Why does the same mail have to into so many folders. Mail in "Important" deletes fine. Mail in Spam deletes fine, its only "All Mail" I have problem with. No matter how often I delete it and no matter how many I delete at a time, it always come back. I did what you suggested but it hasn't helped. THis morning all the mail was back again.
Any way I can ditch Lion and go back to Snow Leopard?

Deleting an Email that doesn't exist

I didn't see any other subject for this neither do I have the patience to really look for it. But I have an HP Photosmart 7525 and I'm having trouble deleting an email on it. The reason for this is because this email has been permanently deleted, I've forgotten the pin to it, and a certain family member thought it would be a great idea to send a new pin to a nonexistent email five times... I don't want to refresh the entire printer and restore it to factory settings because it is a family printer and it would be tedious to have to rewrite all of our emails and get new pins. Is there any way I can fix this without restarting it? Or do I have no choice.

Hi Azra,
I have looked into this and if you do not have the pin you cannot delete the email. If you can choose the other emails with out an issue then I would suggest just ignoring the email in question. The only way to remove it would be to do a reset.
I hope this helps, let me know.
Thank you,
I worked on behalf of HP.

HT1430 Trouble getting email on my ipad. I have deleted and re-added the original email address in Settings. Then restarted the ipad. Still continue to get the endless cycling when I try to get on my yahoo email account. Does anyone have a fix for this

Trouble getting my email on my ipad. I have tried deleting the account and red-adding it. Then shutting down the ipad and starting it up again. Any help on what else I can do to get it to work once again??

My new yahoo account nestles comfortably in iCloud on the mine iPad.
No, your Yahoo account is not in iCloud (which only handles iCloud mail), it is in Yahoo, and the Yahoo mail account is on your iPad.
But the MacBook Pro will have none of it! I write this question now as I fear that I will be totally demented very soon and unable to formulate my thoughts clearly!
Get the correct settings for your account from Yahoo and set it up manually.
By the way, I also find the "password" issue problematical. It seems Apple want my Apple password rather than my eMail password. All very confusing.
That would depend on what you are trying to do.

Deleting Yahoo! emails multiple times ios7

Since "upgrading" to ios7, I have had to constantly delete emails in my Yahoo account more than once. I'll delete the email and then it'll pop up again. Sometimes, I have to delete them two or three times. Anyone have any ideas? I also have a school email account via Exchange on my phone but that does not have an issue.
Thanks

I'm having the same problems opening and deleting emails. When I first try to open emails, the spinning arrows icon appears and then disappears without opening the email. Error message that comes up on deletes is "Please verify your information and try your request again." I'm running on IE 9.0.8 under Windows 7. I've called the so called "Helpdesk" several times and not received a helpful answer to this problem. It's like a new problem every time I called so opviously Verizon does not have a helpdesk database of reported problems and fixes. I'm a retired IT manager who would have been fired for allowing such poorly written software to be moved to production and then to not have fixes available to the helpdesk folks.
whatsherface,
I am sorry to hear that you are having troubles with the site while using the preferred browser. Please run IE without add ons to see if it's an add on causing the conflict. Have you tried using other computers with IE to see if the same thing is happening?

Anyone Here Who Uses Yahoo Email Having Trouble? Re Attaching Files?

Hi, I'm running on OS 9.2 and haven't had time to upgrade yet. And ever since Yahoo upgraded Classic email I've been having trouble and wondering if anyone else who has a Mac and uses Yahoo has had the same? I wrote to their Help section and they wanted me to send a screen shot of the problem. Well, I managed to do that but I can't attach! I don't send attachments that often so I can't remember if there ever was a box saying Browse. I thought there was one just saying Open and I'd click that and the file would go into this slot, then I'd click attach and the thing was done. Was there ever a Browse tab to click on?
But with this upgrade, when the box from my Desktop appears with the files, I select one, then click Open and it does go to the slot on the Yahoo page. But then when I click attach, another page appears with four boxes that turn blue one at a time as the file rotates, I guess. Then it'll stop at the second or third box. After that it goes back to the page with the file slots and there's a yellow box with red writing that says file not specified so I can't send it. Never had this problem before.
The first problem I was trying to highlight is that now every time you write an email, at one point it automatically saves as a Draft after a few sentences. A notice in bold appears at the upper right hand corner saying Draft Last Saved At: and gives the time. At the same time this happens, three rectangular boxes appear on the bottom left hand side of the email I'm replying to or composing, with numbers in them. In the first one, the first numbers are always 1212 like it's trying to dial NYC. The middle box says 240 and in the last box are a combo of letters and numbers. If I delete them, they reappear after a few seconds and it seems like every time they appear, another Draft is saved, from the number of them in the draft box.
I've also been having trouble with returns making new paragraphs. And last night I couldn't write an email at all! I was trying to reply to one and this time all the cursor did was highlight in black the message from someone I was trying to delete because they don't like to see their original message in my reply. After that, the cursor wouldn't move at all; I couldn't delete and I couldn't write the message. That's why I'm writing now from my office Mac. On the Yahoo mail blog the writer says he knows people are having difficulties with paragraphs and they're trying to solve them. He asked that people write with any other problems so I did write this morning and hopefully I'll get some kind of reply. But in the meantime I thought I'd write here just in case anyone else has had trouble with their Yahoo emailing. After I replied to Yahoo Help and told them I was unable to send them a screen shot, the only reply I got back was: we know you're having a problem but without a screen shot we're unable to help. Well, duh! That's what I can't do! lol So I gave up on them. Thanks for letting me vent.

Hi, and thanks. And I am using iCab, but it's the free version so maybe that's the problem. How'd you get it to identify itself as Firefox? Never mind, I probably wouldn't understand anyway. lol Looks like my Browse tab got lost somewhere, then. It seems I have no choice but to find time to upgrade since I don't have any problems when I use the office iMac, which has Tiger. On my Mac, I also have the old IE browser and I was able to use that to get Classic email before they messed with it. But the other day when I tried to get through to Yahoo using that, now there's just a bare-bones version of the email system, with everything on this vertical list, so maybe that's about to go, too. Maybe Microsoft needs to try again to grab Yahoo and fix things up!

Cannot send or receive yahoo mail or gmail from iPhone . installed ios 6 recently. tried rebooting the phone and deleting the email account and adding again but nothing works ! can someone suggest a solution?

Not sure about yahoo, but for gmail, I done the following:
Set up using Exchange on iPhone, it'll keep prompting for password. On PC use captcha option, log in to gmail account from PC after completingg captcha option, enter password on iPhone.
See how that goes for gmail, let us know.
Hopefully someone will have fix for yahoo.
