Yahoo email folders on iphone.

I have many email folders with my yahoo email for archiving - I don't want them stored on my iphone.  If I delete them from the iphone, they are also deleted from my yahoo email.  Can I remove them from storing on my iphone without loosing them on my pc?

Your folders are not "stored" on your iPhone, they're stored on the server.  But if you navigate to a folder then the server will push however many messages you've specified in settings (i.e. "Show xx Recent Messages").  If you don't want to populate your iPhone with the contents of these folders, don't open them. If you've already done that, delete and re-add the account to your iPhone.
If I misunderstood and what you really mean is that you don't want these folders accessible on the iPhone, you can't set up the account such that it doesn't give you access to all the folders.  You could however set up a 2nd account where your primary account forwards its Inbox to a secondary (separate) Yahoo account on your iPhone.  That way only your Inbox is on your iPhone.

  • I cannot read my yahoo email from my iphone

    i cannot read my yahoo email from my iphone but i send mail from iphone and also see bulk mail.
    what setting shoude do?

    Did you get the Yahoo login page but then it was blank after you logged in?
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    1. Clear Firefox's Cache
    orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Offline Storage : "Clear Now"
    2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
    While viewing a page on the site, right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • Will i lose my yahoo email on my iphone if I change internet provider

    I am planning to change internet providers on my macbook pro at home. I currently have verizon and my iphone email and my apple id is a yahoo email linked to the verizon account.
    Will I be able to access my yahoo email with a new internet provider on my macbook pro and will it continue to sync with my iphone 5?

    Yes you will be unable to use your email address after June 30, 2012, if you do not update your MobileMe account to an iCloud account.
    You can upgrade your account and continue to use the email address in your mail application by entering the details manually. You will not however be able to use any other features of iCloud.

  • Problem accessing YAHOO Email folders on Z10 device

    Hi everyone.
    There seems to be a problem in problem accessing the folders on yahoo email accounts using z10 device.
    I am able to send and receive the email properly using the z10 device. saving drafts are also working fine. But I am unable to access all email that were saved to yahoo folders before my transition to blackberry z10.
    I am able to move any email from my inbox to an existing folder under yahoo. and move it back to inbox if required.
    But when I try to access a mail that were saved to yahoo folders before my transition to blackberry z10, the following message appears "No enteries in this view".  I did mention all folders to sync.- but the systems seems not to be doing that way. 
    Two scenario's possible:-
    1. All folders are not geting sync.
    2. Date/ timing issues (restriction) on certain folders coming in picture by default.
    Would appreciate if someone could respond how to solve this issue or just forward by the z10 -support email id. plz
    Thanks

    Not really sure how to use this support forum yet.
    I have a z10 and for the past week i have not been able to access my yahoo mail. many times for past 6 months i had to enter password, but now when i go to settings to accounts to enter, it just spins while loading and i get nowhere.
    I have removed battery, i have made sure new updates are in.
    one time i was able to enter password and it gave me a pop saying there was an error.
    I am able to receive three other email accounts, they have no problems, just yahoo.
    I tried to change wifi settings, but that will not change....
    I have also lost all the names of my contacts in the phone book area... it is very strange...
    the numbers are there, but the names disappear and say that the contact list is empty
    my voice control does not work anymore as it says it cannot access contact book
    then one time it loads up after a reboot and the telephone lists are all there... and then next time no
    i am assuming all this is related?
    can someone write me or tell me where/how to post this problem?
    Try removing the CARDDAV, CALDAV and email account that are related to the Yahoo account, reboot the phone, and then just use the wizard, and re-create the accounts
    Using the Playbook and the Z10 and the Z30 and loving them

  • TS3899 after downloading iOS 6.0 cant get my yahoo email on my iPhone mail icon

    I phone crashed during downloading iOS 6.0.  After restoring phone , my yahoo email would not transfer over. Can access via safari but not directly in mail.

    Hi Chris.  Thanks, for the suggestions re: my email issues.  They were helpful and yes I did check all items you referenced.  I even contacted Apple support and spent about 40 minutes on phone checking all settings.  However, after all these efforts, my mail and calendar issues were not resolved.  Apple Support finally recommended deleting the mail account and then reloading it - and it worked!  I am now receiving my emails and calendar appts. in real time again.
    Just wanted to share this in case anyone elest has a similar problem with mail/calendar after downloaing i.O.S. 8.1 onto iPhone 5.
    Thanks, again.

  • Yahoo Email Issue on iPhone

    All -
    So my problem involves my iPhone 5s and 1 of my 2 yahoo email accounts.  I am pretty sure the issue is on the email side as I tried adding this email to my wife's iPhone 5 and the same problem occurred.
    I will regularly get push notifications that an email is in my inbox, but when I go to check it nothing is there.  At the bottom, however, it states that there is 1 unread message.  If I restart the phone or go into Setting>Mail, Contacts, Calendars and turn off the Mail slider and then turn it back on, the email will appear.  This happens way too frequently during the day and is extremely annoying. I have tried deleting the account and reading it.  I have tried adding the email using Other instead of Yahoo and still nothing works.
    I am hoping that someone can help as this is driving me crazy.
    Thanks in advance.IMG_0101.JPG

    I'm having the same problem with hotmail .. it worked this afternoon now I get 'not connected to internet', 'could not activate cellular data network' ..... email and safari are not working

  • I have been into my yahoo email on my iphone 4 and in spam inbox i received email from company posing as "Nacha"

    I have just recently been into my yahoo on my iphone 4 and in my spam inbox there was a email from a company posing as "Nacha".It stated a transaction i recently had done has been cancelled.There was a link to click on.I do receive alot of spam emails some that i reconise and i am nieve and think spam emails like this wont come to me and i do alot of transactions online.I did click on the link! It took me to a blank white page on in top left hand corner did say the page cannot be found and there was no info asking me to put in any details i automatically deleted the email,I am now worried that because i have clicked on the link could my iphone now be compromised and if i even go onto my ebay app for example and put in my passwords could all my passwords and personal data now be leaked?? Im really worried as i do want to use my iphone for online transactions but dont know wether im safe now! I have rung my mobile provided and they said that its more than likely everything will be ok as i did click on the link but entered no details and it was a blank page but i have read on google that there can be fake blank pages and that scams can secretly collect data just by a click of a link!!!
    could anybody help really worried

    I wouldn't worry.  Assuming you haven't hacked the phone you cannot have installed any viruses or spyware just by clicking a link in an email.  Sounds like the page you accessed could not be read on the phone anyway, or it was just a dead link.

  • Mail - if Yahoo emails sync to iPhone first, MacBook will not find or sync, even if unread

    So up until a couple weeks ago, everything synced fine on my desktop Mail app and my iPhone Mail app. Then suddenly, they no longer understood each other. It used to be that if I read an email on iPhone, it would mark as read on the Mac Mail, and vice versa. Now, reading on one device still leaves it unread on the other. Even worse, it seems that if the iPhone syncs with the Yahoo servers when checking for mail and adds a new email to list before the Mac at home has had a chance to check the servers, the Mac won't see it when  it goes to sync to Yahoo. Its as if the iPhone syncing to the mail now makes it absent from the new mail that the Mac should be adding to my inbox. What is going on? Why don't they stay in sync anymore? And why does the iPhone pick up emails, but then afterward the Mac doesn't see them at all as if they never came? Gmail and AOL accounts seem to be fine.

    Still need help!

  • Syncing email folders to iPhone & iPad

    I have a hotmail/outlook account. My inbox seems to sync just fine to my ipad and iphone, but for sone reason none of the folders that I've created over time will sync. This was never an issue until as of lately. All of my folders would sync, but all of a sudden they don't anymore. Has Outlook changed anything recently that I should know about?

    It would indeed be much better (in my opinion) to orient your thinking for iPhoto contents away from folders.
    But your comments have focused on iPhoto Albums.  There are also iPhoto Events.  You can use events as selection criteria as well as albums.

  • Yahoo emails not working in iphone 5

    Hi, I have just changed to Iphone 5 and I noticed that my yahoo emails are not working. I cannot save the yahoo password when I set up my yahoo email accounts in Iphone 5.
    The error message says "Yahoo Server unvailable". Please try again later.
    I tried to delete the yahoo account and add in again but still not working.
    Please advise urgently.

    It's not your phone... Yahoo is having issues right now with many of their users.  I'm getting the same errors logging in from my PC.

  • I am not receiving my yahoo email on both my IPhone 6 and IPad Air.  I tried deleting the account and reinstalling but still not receiving email.  I can access email if I go thru Safari to the yahoo mail page.

    I am not receiving yahoo email on my IPhone 6 and IPad Air, both are iOS 8.2.  I can only access email by going thru Safari to the yahoo mail page.  I tried to delete the yahoo account on the phone and reinstalled, to no avail.  Any suggestions how to fix this problem?

    My wife’s iPad was not downloading Yahoo mail, although her iPhone was. Both used IOS 8.2. We tried deleting the account several times and troubleshooting all of the other settings. The problem appears to have been that allowing the IOS to automatically create the account on the iPad resulted in the wrong settings for the incoming server. The following procedure, pieced together from two websites, fixed the problem for us. So far, so good.

    Port: 993
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Hostname is mail.yahoo.com.

    Enter the following outgoing mail server information:
    Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires SSL
    Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    Port: 465 or 587
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Requires authentication: Yes
    Username is your full email address
    Password is the same password used to access webmail. It may have been entered for you.
    Tap Next.
    The iPhone will establish an SSL connection to your IMAP and SMTP servers.
    That’s all!
