Why "Bulk Mail" foder does not display number of unread messages unless I click the folder (Yahoo mail through IMAP)?

Yahoo mail account's "Spam" folder (as viewed through "Yahoo mail" web interface) is displayed in Thunderbird as "Bulk Mail" (IMAP). Looking at the account's foders in Thunderbird I see the number of unread messages in each folder. "Bulk Mail" appears always to be empty. If I click the "Bulk Mail" folder, then magically messages appear in message list, and the number of unread messages is displayed next to folder name, like in all other folders of this account.
Why I need to touch the "Bulk Mail" folder in order to see the number of messages in it?
Yahoo deletes messages from this folder at certain periods. I'm in danger of loosing messages unless I remember to touch all of my Yahoo account's Bulk Mail folders in Thunderbird.
How I can get "Bulk Mail" folder to show the number of unread messages like all other folders of the same account do?
Thunderbird 24.6.0, Windows 7 Enterprise (Sp1)

I don't use IMAP in Thunderbird, so I can't provide step-by-step instructions, however, other e-mail programs have settings for whether or not to synchronize each individual folder on a schedule or using push IMAP (vs when clicked). If Thunderbird has those settings, I would expect them to appear in the folder properties or account settings. Perhaps this will be helpful, but I don't know if you've already done some digging like this or not.
FYI, a quick search brought me to this page:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configuration-options-folders
One item listed in that page is this:
Configure IMAP folders, connections and namespaces
Menu location: Tools | Account Settings | <account name> | Server Settings | Advanced
Perhaps that would be a good place to start since it does mention IMAP folder connections, but folder properties still might be an easier place to peek first, just in case. For that, the site lists this:
Configure folder properties (IMAP folders only)
Menu location: Edit | Folder Properties | General Information
However, I think you could right-click on the "Bulk Mail" folder and hit properties in the pop-up menu.

  • My IPhone 4's mailing feature does not display the toolbar at the bottom for deleting, moving, or writing emails. What is wrong with it?

    My work recently decided to buy every full time employee an IPhone 4 to be used for work purposes. (I do suspect these are refurbished, but I don't think that matters) I have had no trouble with it, except for on occasion the mailing feature does not display the toolbar at the bottom for deleting, moving, or writing emails. You know what I'm talking about...that bar at the bottom of the mailbox when you open an email that you use to delete, respond, forward, move, etc. It just goes away for no reason, and then reappears for a day or two, and goes away again. It is quite annoying since I can't respond to any of my emails without getting on my work computer. If you have any suggestions, please help!

    Hi there,
    You may need to force close the Mail application when this happens. The next time this happens, use the steps in the article below to coles out of the mail application.

  • ICloud Mail on my MacBook Pro incorrectly displays number of unread messages

    The iCloud account in Mail displays 1 unread message when all are read.  I am unable to "mark all messages as read" to remove the 1 unread message icon.  When I send multiple test emails to the iCloud account, it still only displays 1 unread message when there are more.  The iCloud account on my iOS devices correctly displays the number of unread email messages.

    This is an addition to my earlier statement...
    This anomoly with Mail displaying 1 unread message regardless of the fact all messages are read is only occurring in Mail.  I set up iCloud email in Outlook for Mac 2011 and it correctly displays the number of unread messages.

  • Pre - Get mail setting does not display " as they arrive" as an option

    I have 3 email accounts set up on my Pre. 1 of the 3 accounts does not have the get mail option of "as they arrive". Why is that?

    The email is setup as a POP3. POP3 does not support the Items as arrive function.

  • Mail Program does not display the content of some AOL emails

    I have an AOL email address but access my email account through the Mail program (ver 2.1). I am using both a Powerbook G4 and an iMac G5 (OSX 10.4.8) and have the same problem with both machines. When I try to read many (approx. a fifth) of my emails in Mail, I get the following (or something similar):
    Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="------------040506000506030104030008"
    If I log on to the AOL server directly, I can read the email or download the attachment. Any way to fix this problem short of ditching AOL?

    I have exactly the same problem, except the frequency of occurrence is much lower -- maybe one in 50 to 100 emails delivered from my AOL account does this. I don't know the root cause or if the app or the server is at fault, but the immediate cause is Mail either doesn't receive or doesn't properly process the message's headers, including the MIME 'boundary' declaration necessary to convert the raw message stream into its multiple parts, so it treats the whole thing as one long plain text message.
    Standard fixes like rebuilding the mailbox or reindexing have no effect since the flaw is carried into the emlx file that stores the message. In some cases, I have been able to edit the file with a text editor to preserve some message part(s), but this is not something you should try without knowledge of MIME standards or emlx file structure.

  • Incomming call does not display number

    I have iPhone6 Plus.  All incoming calls display name only. how can get it to display number also

    It will only display the name if the information is entered into your contacts. That is how it works on the phone to display the name. If you want to see the number, you would have to go into your recent calls and tap on the blue . The highlighted number is the one they called from.

  • Mail app does not sync "Sent" or "Read" messages with my iPhone mail app.

    I just started using a new Mac Mini (running 10.9.1). I have the Mail app connected to a handfull of different email addresses, and my iPhone mail app is connected to the same addresses. If I send a message on one device, the other device will not show it. If I read a message on one, the other will not show that I've read it.
    I assume the two Apple devices, both running up-to-date operating systems and using the native Mail app, should be communicating with each other in a way that allows me to work between the two seamlessly. Am I just incorrect in my assumption, is there something I can fix, or is this a bug we're waiting to have repaired?

    Actually, my Gmail is the one that does work appropriately. I have a few IMAP addresses I use that do not sync between devices.

  • "mail to" does not appear in apps list, so cant change default email to yahoo.

    . I cant get Yahoo mail to appear as a default mail option for firefox:
    because I cant proceed past the "scroll down to 'mailto' in the 'apps' step of the instructions provided by Support. I'm stuck there because 'mailto' isn't on the list.
    Right clicking on Outlook(the current email default I cant get rid of)does nothing.
    Ive since modified Micro Office and deleted Outlook entirely, but that didn't make Yahoo Mail magically appear as an option anywhere.
    I cant get Yahoo mail to appear as an option for default email for Windows 7 either. I can get to the page where you may choose how Windows uses various defaults, but Yahoo isn't there.
    I downloaded the latest Yahoo toolbar as I had in the past for IE and nothing changed (what I DID get stuck with is an irritating as hell, loud alert tone that sounds with every email I get--even when there's music playing or a movie on--and flashes me a constant reminder on lower left of screen that I have 785 unread messages)

    Hi,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

  • TS2755 My IPad does not display (load) my email messages, only the titles

    My email does not fully load content of each message, only the titles or subject of each message appears. What is causing this to happen and what can I do to correct this problem?

    Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

  • Firefox does not open Gmail to send link when I click the Send Link option on the menu. I have set Gmail as the mailto option, but did not help

    Firefox does not activate Gmail when I click send link in the menu under File or by right click menu on a webpage. I have set Gmail as the Mail to under options, but this did not help.

    I have the same problem but it appears that an add-on I'm using is causing the problem. Try opening Firefox in safe mode (which disables add-ons) Then try it. If that solves the problem, you need to disable all your add ons and enable them one by one to figure out which one(s) is causing the problem.

  • After upgrading to 10.2.2.12  on windows XP SP3 , itunes does not display any summary info or buttons/options. The buttons work but it does not display the text on the button or the options available.

    I recently upgraded the iTunes software to 10.2.2.12 on my Windows XP laptop. Since then, iTunes stopped displaying the Summary info
    , the text on the buttons, the various drop down options. The buttons seem to be working but I can't tell what that button is supposed to do
    or the option I am selecting. This is preventing me from syncing my photos to the laptop.
    this was not a problem with the previous version of iTunes.
    Actions taken :
    - I tried downloading iTunes again and repairing the install. That did not fix it.
    - Don't want to uninstall it as I am worried that I would lose all the songs and the purchases etc.
    1. Has anyone encountered this ?
    2. Is there a solution for this ?
    Many thanks in advance for your time and help

    Yeah it does, although the problem predates version 10.2.2.12. It's been around since earlier-on in the version 10s (at least).
    It's usually Segoe UI font trouble on the Windows 7 systems too. Unfortunately, the Vortical troubleshooting technique only works on XP and Vista systems, so dealing with the issue on a Windows 7 system is trickier. (There's a bunch of different possible issues relating to the fonts that could be in play, and so the treatment tends to depend on which issue in particular you've got with the Segoe_UI fonts.)

    Hello queenbea4,
    You may need to place a tick mark for "Include when automatically checking for new messages" under the Advanced pane of your iCloud account's settings in Mail's Preferences. This can be found by going to the Mail menu, then to Preferences. Under the Accounts tab, choose your iCloud account, then the Advanced tab to the right.

  • I got an new Samsung S5 this week.  Now I am getting a message saying that this mobile number does not have permission to send messages and to contact the acct. owner (me) to change permissions.  How do I do that?

    All I did was tap the red message+ icon on the home page and I got this as one of the messages.  I do not know where to go to grant the desired permission.

        Congratulations on your new phone Gramps5019! Let's make sure we fix this asap. All you have to do is go to Settings from your phone, the More>Select 'Default SMS App' and choose "Messages" instead of "Messages ". This will fix it.
