TS3899 Yahoo email account showing "phantom" unread messages
I set up a "new to me" iphone 4 today and added a yahoo email account. I cleaned the inbox, trash, and spam folders out before setting up account on phone. Mail icon is showing 39 unread messages in that account and they are not showing in the inbox on the phone for me to clear out.
Mail -> Edit in upper right hand corner -> Mark All as read in lower left hand corner. This will clear the unread email number for the mail app.

TS3899 Yahoo email account sync error. Please help!
Does anyone know what this error is and how to fix it...I changed my Yahoo password and am trying to sync my email account and it will not let me. Error says 'the operation couldn't be completed (mfmessageerrordomain error 1032) Please help!!
Thanks for the advice Lawrence. However, I tried everything you said and it still is giving me the same error. I'm honestly not sure what the problem is. I've changed passwords numerous times over the years and never had this issue before

TS3899 My mail account shows 1340 unread emails, yet the inbox is empty with no subfolders.
My "Mail" app shows that I have 1340 unread emails in red. When I go to the inbox, it says 1340 unread emails, yet there is none in the inbox. I have checked my mail provider adn there is no emails there either.
First if you have multiple inboxes please make sure that you're looking at the all inboxes category. If this is correct then try removing the account and adding it back. If no joy
Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

Our Yahoo email account is sending out spam messages
our yahoo email account received a spam message that I stupidly opened. Now we are receiving messages from our contacts saying they are receiving strange attachments. We changed the password. Should we be sending a group message to all of our contacts? Should we be scanning the iPad for viruses?
There is no known malware capable of infecting an iPad, unless it has been jailbroken (ie, hacked to allow apps from outside the App Store). So you didn't get infected with anything, and opening the message had nothing to do with it.
Your e-mail account probably got hacked and is being used to send spam. Changing the password was all that is needed, just make sure it's a good, strong password not used by any other online accounts. Also, if you were using your old e-mail password for any other online accounts, they may have been compromised. There's a lot of information in the typical e-mail account that can help a hacker locate all your other online accounts. -

I have a yahoo email account setup on my iPad & iPhone. The new mail is never marked as unread when downloaded to my iPad or iPhone. Is there anyway to fix this?
Hey there Fabian,
If I understand correctly you are going to Settings > Mail, Contacts, and Calendars > Add Account but that last option is not usable because it is gray. In testing this for you, I was able to reproduce this by enabling Restrictions and denying Account Changes. You can configure that with this article:
About Restrictions (parental controls) on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,

I'm trying to log in to my yahoo email account on iphone 4s and the error message MFMessage Domain error 1032 keeps on coming up. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
What worked for me was resetting my password on my email then rebooted my iPhone 4S.

re-setting up a Yahoo email account, I repeatedly get the message "server unavailable, please try again later", is there something different I don't know about?
If you have two-step verification turned on, turn it off by logging into your Yahoo mail account on a browser.

Error message setting up Yahoo email account...help!
I just got my new Droid Razr yesterday, and I have tried numerous times to set up my existing Yahoo email account but I keep getting an error message that states "System is unavailable to support the request". My email address and password are correct, I am able to log in just fine on my computer, so I can't figure out what the problem is or how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated!
Try this under the settings:
Yahoo Ymail: IMAP
Incoming Settings:
Username: [email protected]
Password: (check the case for your password)
IMAP server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 143
Security type: TLS if available
IMAP path prefix: (leave blank, it should read "Optional"
Outgoing Settings:
SMTP server: smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 25
Security type: TLS if available
Require sign-in: Checked
Username: [email protected])
Password: (check the case for your password)
If that does not work, I would use the app available in the Play Store as stated above. -

Try the Yahoo mail app.

I accidently turned ON contacts when I was turning ON my yahoo email account in Settings and now all the emails from contacts have been merged to create SEPARATE contact right under the original contact name. Now I have double contacts for everyone with an email address!!! how do I UNDO? it says all CONTACTS WILL BE DELETED...when I go to turn CONTACTS to OFF.
Any contacts synced with the Yahoo account will be deleted from the phone if you turn it off. They will still be out there in Yahoo land, so if you turn it off and it deletes something you didn't want to, just turn it back on again.
It's extremely unclear what you did when you say " I only created contacts and typed in emails that I had for those contacts.....so I am still not sure how to UNdo what I did without deleting anything"
Undo WHAT, exactly? You said "I accidently turned ON contacts when I was turning ON my yahoo email account in Settings and now all the emails from contacts have been merged to create SEPARATE contact right under the original contact name."
Just turn it off. -
Mail showing one unread message when all messages are marked as read
Wondering if anyone else was having any weird issues with their iCloud and unread count in the Mail app on their mac running lion? I can't seem to get rid of a phantom unread message. My iCloud account is fairly new so I don't have that many messages to go through so I know there is not an unread message any where. Any help would be appreciated
Cheers,
RabahI have had the same issue with my Microsoft exchange email after upgrading to Lion. It's a bit annoying. My iPad, Android Phone, and viewing it using a browser all show 0 unread, but Mail shows 3 unread. I have tried deleting the account, rebuilding, and pawing through settings looking for something I missed. Nothing. I actually had the same problem with my MobileMe email with Snow Leopard but I eventually permanently removed the account as other problems arose and just used it in my browser.
Sorry I couldn't help but I hope it's resolved.
John
