Why has mail 5.2 stopped retrieving email from yahoo (IMAP)?

Mail stopped retrieving email from yahoo. I did not change anything. All of the preferences look the same as before.

Based on what I've read in the forum, Yahoo mail has been having some problems.

  • Mail has stopped retrieving messages from Yahoo

    Mail has stopped retrieving messages from Yahoo email account.  I deleted the account, cleared Safari history and recreated the account.  Successfully retrieved all folders and contents of folders but no messages.  Watching the Activity, it appeared to be retrieving the messages but none appear.  Looking at the log, I can see FETCH error server.  Not sure where to go from here to resolve the issue.  Thanks for your help.

  • Why has my new ipad stopped saving photos from Facebook?  Problem could have started when I downloaded the new OS.

    Why has my new IPad stopped saving pictures from Facebook.  Worked originally and problem may have started when I downloaded OS 6.

    You are correct that the behavior started when you installed iOS 6 - but as Chetan6518 explained - you now have to configure it in the settings.
    Along with the suggestion above, there is also a Photos setting in Privacy and that gives access to approved apps for photos as well.
    Last of all, make sure that you haven't set a photos restriction in Settings>General>Restrictions>Privacy>Photos

  • Mail app downloading spam / junk email from Yahoo

    I use yahoo as my email service, and I also download mail from yahoo to the Mail app onmy ipad3.  I have noticed that the app is also downloading spam or junk email rather than email that is only in the inbox.
    Can someone tell me how to only download mail from the inbox?
    Thanks,
    Ben

    The iPad mail app has no filters for spam and junk mail. You have to set those filters on the server in your Yahoo mail account.

  • How to prevent Apple Mail from downloading old emails from Yahoo (Imap)

    I started using Apple Mail and decided to use it to access my yahoo mail.  Apple mail worked well in setting up my account but the problem is I have more than 10,000 emails in my yahoo account and Apple mail is downloading each and every one of them.  Even if i choose for it not to download attachments, it will still take a long time to download.  Is there a way or Mail to just download emails starting now, or at least within this year only?

    Good question. I have the same issue. Too many old Yahoo emails. My iMac struggles to download the email to the client and it doesn't work - it seems to time out and stop downloading the old mail.

  • Why has my ipad mini stopped connecting with my iPhone 4S? I used to use it to download books, or transfer emails to my ipad mini. It was fine 3 days ago, now I get a message saying " cannot join with iPhone" Any help greatly appreciated.

    You can try resetting your iPad and iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • My husband has retrieved emails from my exchange email account. I deleted them from the trash bin. How is he doing this?

    OK, let's come back to the original issue; how are deleted messages retrievable?
    First, is the account set up as an Exchange account or a POP account? I'll assume it's Exchange. If it were POP the answer is obvious.
    If it's an Exchange account are you deleting the messages from the phone or from some other computer? If you are deleting them from another computer they will not be removed from the Trash folder on the phone until the phone next syncs AND the Trash folder is opened. But this will take time. You can force the Trash folder to sync in near real time by going into Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendars, tap on the Exchange account, tap on Mail Folders to Push and check "Deleted Items". Note that doing this will result in increased data usage and reduced battery life.
    If I haven't described the situation tell me what assumptions I made that are incorrect.

  • How do I stop imac from retrieving email from my server?

    I no longer want my mac to retrieve email from my server (sbcglobal).  How do I stop it from doing that?

    Open the Mail app>go to the word MAIL in the upper left corner of your desktop and click on it>Preferences>Accounts tab>Delete the "Incoming Mail Server" entry on the right.
    Hope this helps

  • Why has mail suddenly started saying that my outgoing mail server is offline?

    Why has mail suddenly started saying that my outgoing mail server is offline?
    I can receive mail from my ISP using Apple Mail but as of this morning I can't send via my ISP.
    When I check Mail preferences, they say that my ISP's outgoing mail server is "offline".
    I haven't changed any settings, so  what's gone wrong? I need a fix. At the moment I'm having to use Gmail.

    If your email is hosted by Google then there are several known issues with Apple Mail under Mavericks accessing Gmail.  Using a web browser is a good backup.  In Apple Mail you can goto the menubar, choose Mailbox and choose take all accounts offline.  Then bring them back online.  Worst case you may need to delete and readd the account (usually if something was setup wrong) Menu bar - Mail > Accounts.
    If you have turned on 2 step Google Authentication then you'll need to issue a specific email password for Apple Mail to use to bypass authentication.  Google the steps.
    Best of luck in getting your mail server online.  Hopefully you can specify multiple servers in settings.

  • Why "Outlook Express" users can't read email from Mail.app ?

    Why "Outlook Express" users can't read email from Mail.app ? Any explanation ? Select a good format,that's a good explanation,but i can't know each time if our recipients use "Outlook Express".

    There are no completely bug free email clients including the Mail.app and Outlook has its share of bugs for such an old/mature email clients and some glaring ones that MS has been aware of for a long time but has chosen not to do anything about since these do not affect exchanging email with other Outlook users.
    Outlook has always had problems with Mail's RTF and the degree depending on the Windows and Outlook versions used by the recipient.

  • Why has my iPod Touch stopped connecting to my WiFi?

    Why has my iPod Touch stopped connecting to my WiFi?
    It's been fine for the past 2 years but today, it's stopped. It was working this morning...
    According to settings it has connected but I cannot access anything online and the internet icon is missing.
    WiFi is working on my phone & laptop so it doesn't appear to be a problem with the router. Also I've just synced my iPod with iTunes, reset and restarted - still no luck.
    Any suggstions?
    Thanks

    Did you already try to reset the network settings in Settings/General/Reset?

  • Mail stopped loading emails from only one account

    I am running a MacBook Pro (2GHz intel core i7, 16bg 1600 MHz DDR3 and Os X version 10.9.4) and my mail has been acting strangely - not loading emails, or taking a very long time to load them. It has now lost all but 6 emails in one IMAP email account (outlook.com is the issue, googlemail.com mail is fine) and those 6 emails are very slow to load; I am very new to my MacBook and don't know where to begin. I have search online for the issue, but don't know where to begin.  I have no rules on my email account, and have not changed any settings that I know of on my web account or within Mail.  I have been having to get my mail through Chrome rather than Mail due to being on my clients Wifi and their firewall prevents using any mail server but theirs, and was experiencing issues when accessing webmail through Safari - any ideas?

    Back up all data. Rebuild the mailbox.

    This started about 3 days ago.  I could manually push email through in the last few days but can no longer.  I have deleted the account and re-entered the settings but I get a message that I cannot connect to the server.
