Apple Mail and Yahoo - Mail shows as opened in Yahoo?

I have Gmail and Yahoo mail accounts. When I open my Apple mail, all my Yahoo messages show as opened; Gmail does not. Is there a configuration I can perform to correct this problem? I'd like it to function like Gmail, Exchange or iCloud. Suggestions?

dddog,
Are you accessing the Yahoo email or the email on your computer as POP3?
If so this article would apply:

Mail and Yahoo Mail

I use my Yahoo mail account as my email backup, but using Apple mail downloads all of the messages on the server and not just the incremental messages. How can I just download the incremental messages, but leave all messages on the Yahoo server?

If I'm understanding you right, what you're asking isn't possible. By default, Yahoo! Mail uses an IMAP server, so any device you use to look at your inbox will always see the same messages. What you're asking requires a POP server, in which messages live on the server until they're downloaded, at which time they're deleted or marked for deletion.
IMAP is considered the more modern protocol, which is why services like Gmail and Yahoo! Mail use it. Think of it as a window into your entire mailbox from any device ... while the POP protocol was more like a letter carrier bringing your mail to you. With POP, once the mail is on your computer, it's gone (or soon-to-be-gone) from the server.
This link explains it in more detail:
http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2008/05/getting-gmail-anywhere-imap-versus-pop.htm l
It turns out you can configure Yahoo! Mail to use POP, but it requires a $20/year plus account:

How to sync SENT boxes from Mail and Yahoo Mail?

I have a Yahoo! mail acct. (it's actually a AT&T acct. with an sbcglobal.net domain name accessible through Yahoo mail). I access this acct. through Mail via POP at home, and at work I access it via web.
How can i get mail messages sent via Mail to show up when I access it via the web and vice versa? Is this possible?

There is one option and that is to use Mail's 'automatically cc (or bcc) myself' function, which you can enable from the Composing preference pane. Then you can set up a filter in Yahoo mail to move any message originating from your own address to another folder. Unfortunately, it doesn't let you move them to the regular Sent folder, but you can create a new folder called Sent Mail or something and move them there - at least then you'll have a copy.
N.B. that 'automatically cc myself' is a global preference, so it applies to all your accounts.

Windows Live Hotmail and Apple Mail

Hey,
So I'm using HTTPMail. But...it just doesn't work. Is it only supporting @hotmail.com accounts or does it support others such as @msn.com and @live.whatever
It clearly talks to the server - as it tells me when I have an incorrect password, but it just doesn't download the mail. Any suggestions?

Ahh. Cheers.
Anyone else who's interested...
"As of June 30th 2008, my plugin will cease to function as Microsoft has decided to terminate HTTPMail (also known as WebDav) protocol access. They have replaced this protocol has been replaced by a new one called DeltaSync. Unfortunately DeltaSync is undocumented and uses non-standard compression and encryption of message data. Until these issues can be resolved there is nothing I can do to fix my plugin.
If you have a Hotmail Plus account you should still be able to access your mail using the POP3 protocol. The details for setting up POP3 access is as follows.
Incoming mail server: pop3.live.com (port 995)
Outgoing mail server: smtp.live.com (port 25)
Username: your full hotmail email address
NOTE: the outgoing mail server requires authentication "

Safari and Yahoo Mail Beta

I had already reported this problem three times through Safari, but I had no answer and yahoo mail beta is already unreachable with Safari 2.0 (mac os x 10.4.8)
Here the first message:
"Why miss out?
To see all the new Yahoo! home page has to offer, please upgrade to a more recent browser.
Supported browsers include:
Internet Explorer 7 optimized by Yahoo!
Firefox 1.5
Safari 2.0 (I have this!)
Opera 8.5
Then I try to access, I insert my user id and pwd but instead of looking the webpage I get a message (from Safari):
to set up UTF 8 in browser's coding; I click ok and the message come back (looply). Then I block the loading of the page, I change the settings under the view menu, but again I have the same message:
What can I do?
thx for answering!

Hi powerbook1701!
It is a shame...Yahoo has always been bad with Safari...I think most people here keep a copy of Firefox/Camino for cases like this when webdesigners don't make their pages compatible with Safari. It's not much of a problem anymore but there are still a few sites depending on where you surf...
Actually the reason I started using Mail is because the standard Yahoo mail wouldn't display custom fonts, etc. on Mac. At that time not even with Firefox for Windows. But I'm glad that I switched because I enjoy using Mail much more that Yahoo's webmail which by the way was never good at searching...
Oops this sounds like Yahoo bashing!!! It's not meant to be...just letting you know other people have the same issues you're experiencing...

TS1843 Not receiving apple mail. Connection Doctor says not connected to server. Yet receiving gmail and yahoo mail.

Not receiving apple mail. Checked connection Doctor. Not connected to server, yet receiving gmail and yahoo mail.

No, I have a Mac and my email connects via our pacbell account we've had for years. However, something in the Preferences/Accounts is not correct I am guessing. Also, it asks for the password and if I put it in and click save through general or viewing, it's NOT saving it and still not allowing me to get email. My husband tried reading about this through our AT&T acct and said to change the incoming server to imap.mail.yahoo.com and outgoing smtp.mail.yahoo;[email protected], but now I can't receive or send any email on my Mac. In advanced not sure if it should be Port of 465 or 900 something or other and SSL checked or not. I called AT&T and they want to take over my machine by charging $15/mos for a year to fix this. Ridiculous.
So, everytime prior to yesterday, when my husband messed around with it, I was getting a POP needs password box, typed in my password, but to no avail..Then it Keychain password popped up and assumed it was the same, but there's no way to change or modify it even using the new password my husband set up through AT&T. I am at a complete loss.
I can access mail through yahoo mail and it takes me to AT&T Yahoo Mail, but no contacts are there so needless to say this is a pain.
I appreciate any assistance you can give me so I can get back on my email as I have for 4 years.
Thanks Hackintosh...I look forward to hearing from you....you can use the email above and it will come to me through my yahoo web page....Thanks again and let me know if you need any other information. If you respond on here, I may not get the answer from you as I didn't know you responded until I came on discussions. THanks

E51 Gmail and Yahoo mail box access

Dear All
I was trying to configure the gmail and yahoo mail accounts in the new E51 which I have bought. I have correctly configured the mail setup with the correct username and password. But I am getting an error "Invalid Mail for exchange credentials. Check credential settings". The pop up is coming repeatedly on the phone even if am not using the same.
Please help me out for the same.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Joseph

Hi Guys!
I'm sure by now your problems are solved. Nevertheless, let me simplify this for you. I have both my Gmail and my Yahoo mail setup on my E51 and they work beautifully. One thing you should be aware of is that while Gmail offers mobile & POP access free, you need to upgrade to a business account in yahoo to avail the same. That being said, here are the settings for each:
For Gmail:
Connection Settings > Incoming E-Mail
User name: Enter your complete Gmail e-mail address including '@gmail.com'
Password: Enter your Password
Incoming Mail Server: imap.gmail.com
Access Point in Use: Select the active data connection

Mailbox Type: IMAP4
Security (ports): SSL/TLS
Port: Default
Connection Settings > Outgoing E-Mail
My e-mail address: Enter your complete Gmail e-mail address including '@gmail.com'

What this means is that mails deleted from you phone will continue to remain on your server and will be accessible the next time you access your mail using a PC.
Retrieval Settings:
E-Mail to retrieve: No choice here. Gmail only allows you to retrieve headers first. If you feel a mail is important you can select it and download the entire message later.

Mac mail 4.5 and yahoo mail

Anyone else having problems with mac mail 4.5 and sending mail with yahoo.mail server. Mine is so erratic It's driving me crazy. It works fine for a while then all of sudden it will just stop working for days at a time. This happens without me changing any settings whatsoever. I have other mail programs using the same servers AND THEY WORK FINE. So this is total crap. When I try getting help from my ISP they said it is a mac mail problem. When I try to get help from APPLE (which is pretty much non existant) they say its an ISP problem. The only thing I know is that its' my problem and I've given both these companies tons of money and they've left me hanging out in the breeze with arguably the most basic and important funciton of having a computer and an internet connection. Screw them all I say.
Anyone out there to help with this quandry. By the way I've used mail connection doctor. It has problem connecting to the outgoing server, but then it does and says all is fine. But I still cant send mail. I go back to connecton doctor and do a "check again" and now it CANT connect. Jeez this is just awful

I finally got my "Send" to work:

I will address your second question.
First, make sure your iPhone and iPad have absolutely identical Apple IDs. If they do, use that Apple ID in Settings > iCloud on your iPhone to select the "Notes" option. Lo and behold, all your iCloud notes should appear on your iPhone.

How do I make Mac mail and iOS Mail sync to each other with a google apps (not traditional gmail) mail account?

I have a google apps mail account in the form [email protected] I have successfully set up both my mac (A1342) Mail and my iPhone (5c) mail so I get my account on both devices. However, when I read an email on my iphone, it remains unread on my mac (and vice versa). But if I read an email on either, the copy in my Gmail inbox on the web is correctly changed to read. How do I set up my mac Mail and iOS mail so they interact with eachother?
I am running OSX 10.9 and iOS 7.

Set the account (on the Mac) as an Imap account, it seems as though it is currently set as POP.

Why are my AOL mail and AIM icons suddenly missing?

Why are my AOL mail and AIM icons suddenly missing. I can still access both by passing my mouse over the area previously occupied by the icons

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
No data will be lost.
If these don't work try Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
