Yahoo mail folders disappeared

On ipad with yahoo mail account, all my yahoo folders such as the sent folder and folders I created disappeared after I also set up a yahoo mail account on my iphone. I have iCloud mail on for ipad and iphone. ipad is new ipad with ios 5.1.1 and iphone is 4s with 5.1.1. Note that earlier I said the 4s had ios 5.1 but I installed the update to 5.1.1.

I had the same problem and found a solution on another forum. Above the column heading line is a line with icons starting with the "Compose Message". The second icon from the right should be the one to "Switch View". Hover over it to verify. From the dropdown menu select "Page by Page (Classic)" option. Click "Ok" to confirm. Using the same dropdown , switch back to your original view option. The date column should have been restored, I tried doing this through the Options>Mail Options dropdown a the top of the page without success; so, don' t bother trying it that way.
Good Luck!

Issue with emails being deleted from my Yahoo mail folders

Hi, I am experiencing an issue where emails are being deleted from my Yahoo mail folders when the weekly Sunday night purge of the Yahoo Trash folder is carried out by Yahoo. These are mails that have been moved from my inbox via the iphone mail app.
I have a similar problem with Outlook 2010 on my laptop but not with Outlook 2003 on my desktop.
When I move the emails from my inbox I have noticed that using Outlook 2003, the moved email is left in my inbox in "strikethrough" mode whereas on Outlook 2010 it is deleted from my inbox. I subsequently purge the marked email from my inbox in 2003.
I am able to see and access the emails in the folder I have moved them to until after midnight on Sunday when they dissappear. The emails moved via 2003 are ok and not lost.
Funnily enough when using an earlier version of the iphone mail app I remember that I could see emails in "strikethrough" mode in Outlook 2003 when they had been moved via the iPhone mail app but you don't see that now.
It feels like some sort of pointer issue to me ...... any ideas on how to stop this happening?.

This is now fixed !!!! I am not sure how though :-((
I reported the problem to Yahoo and in the process of them investigating the issue my sub-folders suddenly became invisible via my IMAP connection and then also were invisible on-line following a log out and a log in. After my initial panic, I contacted Yahoo who were able to restore my complete account. Since then, the problem has gone away.
I have been testing this for two weeks and all is working perfectly from whatever device I use to connect to my mail (IMAP or via my browser).
Phew!

BT Yahoo mail emails disappearing every night

Hi,
Every night all the emails in my BT Yahoo Mail inbox are disappearing! I thought nothing of it for a few days due to the email i had received about migrations however after a week i got Yahoo to restore my mailbox to 7 days and then that night all my emails disappeared again!
I have lost lots of important emails and need to get these back HELP!!!!
All mail folders, sent items, deleted items remain unaffected. I am only accessing email via the BT Yahoo webmail interface.

Entrusting your only copies of important data to the competence of a mass market cloud provider such as BT and their partners, is not a strategy I could recommend.
I would urge you to swop to pop3/smtp using an email client such as MSOutlook or open source Thunderbird or similar, and keep your email store on your own machine (and back it up to external media regularly)
The BT email system is not in a good state at the moment and has been like that for a few years now - at least since 2011 with Yahoo, and Critical Path/Openwave don't seem to be doing much better. Basically they cannot be trusted to look after your data, and they aren't even contractually obliged to do so.
As for getting your email back - BT may or may not be able to help you, but you are not the only one to lose mail at the moment. Best of luck.
Personally I have all my BT acounts set to forward any mail immediately to a 3rd party provider, and I moved away from BT for important mail a few years ago because I didn't want to lose important data.

Yahoo mail folders not updated automatically

I have configured my yahoo mail box on the new iPad. I have a lot of folders in yahoo mail, which do not get updated with new mail on the iPad, like they do on the web. Is there any way to make this work?

Had same problem. Seems that a specific email is preventing loading. Was able to clear by going to Yahoo mail in iPad Safari and puling up and down on mail folder until showed all mail from today and back beyond the date of the stuck email date. Once email for the previously stuck folder showed all mail in iPad Safari, iPad mail app email folder showed all current email also.

Yahoo mail folders

how to get the mail folders created in Yahoo to show up on iphone4 like it did on previous generations of iphones.... can't seem to figure it out since push date became effective

Since a Yahoo email account can be accessed as a POP type account only with the Mail.app and other email clients, messages available in the account's Inbox mailbox at the server are the only messages downloaded by an email clients with a POP type account.
You can't export the mail folders that you created at the server so in order to have messages available in these folders downloaded by the Mail.app will require transferring those messages to the account's Inbox mailbox at the server.

Mail folders disappeared and Thunderbird asks me to start a new account.

I started up my computer as usual and Thunderbird did an automatic update. Then Thunderbird opened but the screen has no mail folders. There is a new user screen offering me a gandi email and asking me to add an account. No matter what I do or how I log on, I can't find any of my mail folders or accounts EXCEPT that the address book is there.

Thank you Airmail...this got me a little way toward a solution but is a bit over my head! (not techy here).
Since my address book looks fine, I followed the "lost/corrupt" directions. I located the pref file and see several "mail.account" lines there (a server and identity for each email address??)
The next sentence in the instructions confused me. If I DO find mail.accounts, what then? Do I need to then go on to #1 and #2 below, back up and find a new copy of the js prefs file? How and where would I find a new copy?
Thanks...

E-mail folders disappeared

When cleaning my e-mail folders in the bluewin web site, all my e-mail folders vanished and I cannot find them, neither on the bluewin site nor on my iMac, macbook and iPhone. How can I recover my e-mails. I do a backup on the LACIE external drive, but do not know how to find the e-mails on it. Please help.
Raya

Bring the Mail browser window forward, then enter Time Machine. You'll see a series of Mail windows cascading back in time. Each one represents a snapshot of the Mail database.
Scroll back to the most recent snapshot containing the messages you want to restore. Select the messages, then click Restore. The messages will be restored to a new mailbox. From there you can move them wherever you like.

Mail Folders Disappeared After Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion!

Okay, I am in a VERY desprate situation. (Please read the entire post before responding, I apologize for the length...)
My school had a mandatory re-imaging to upgrade to this new Mountain Lion operating system.
I backed up/exported all of my files, but was told I wouldn't need to back up or export anything in my e-mail.
After getting my laptop back, I opened mail to find that ALL of the folders I had created to organize college information was GONE.
The e-mails had very important information so I need to retrieve them ASAP!
I scoured through a lot of posts on here to find that many others had the same issue.
They solved it by going to the lefthand sidebar and hovering their cursor over ON MY MAC (or ICLOUD) then clicked "SHOW" and their lost folders were automatically restored. However, I do not see either ON MY MAC or ICLOUD as options. I see MAILBOXES and below that SMART MAILBOXES then below that my school's server which has the options of "JUNK E-MAIL" and "RSS FEEDS." Nothing else is in my lefthand bar.
I WILL BE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL TO ANYONE WHO CAN HELP ME WITH THIS.
In all hopes, I did not lose these e-mails for good!
Thanks. -Frustrated Mac User

TS2475 My icons on th bottom of screen on my yahoo mail have disappeared?!?!

I Was checking my emails on my iPod touch.. I was about to erase a few when I realized the icons on the bottom which you can choose to delete or send to spam or flag were gone. I know I can delete by just swiping to the right of the email but I don't know what might if happened to the icons on the bottom?!?!?

I assume you mean file and folder icons on the Desktop and not the disk icons.
If so, what you could do is open a Finder window to
<user home folder>/Desktop/
If those files and folder are still on your Desktop but somehow off the screen, they should show up there in the Finder window showing your Desktop folder.
If they can be seen there, move them to a new location, such as a new folder in your Documents folder. Then, move them from there back onto your Desktop.

NOW-Yahoo Mail won't move messages to folders. Help, please?

Original iPhone with 2.0 software . . .
When I try to move a message (from the inbox, for example) into one of my yahoo Mail folders, I get this message:_"Unable to Move Message."_
Is this happening to you? Is there a solution??
Thank you for your help.
Allan

Have you tried deleting the Yahoo account and readding it? Was it working earlier(with the update)? I know Yahoo has been very up and down with various things so possibly there might be a server related problem if it just started.
You could also possibly try to reset the network settings and then try to move the messages.

Yahoo Mail Inbox Not Working

It seems that the Yahoo Mail Inbox has stopped fetching any messages (old or new). It will get all email from other Yahoo Mail folders... just not the inbox. I want to say it's been a problem for the last 2-3 days. The status message on the iPhone just says "Checking for Mail" and hangs.
Anyone else having this same problem?
Thanks.

For better or for worse, this solution below works, found at iLounge. I'd love to know what constitutes a "corrupt email" (that is fine by PC/browser but the iPhone can't handle).

I called an Apple tech and have a solution for the problem stated by the OP and myself:
1) Login your Yahoo account from your computer
2) Create a folder named InboxTest and move every email sitting in your Inbox into this new folder.
3) Compose a new email from Yahoo and send it to yourself (the Yahoo account that isn't working)
4) Close your browser, do not check/read your Yahoo account from your computer
5) Go to your iPhone > Mail > Yahoo > Inbox and tap the refresh button
5a) There is a possibility that the email you sent yourself got diverted to your Bulk/Junk folder automatically so if you don't see anything check that folder
5b) You may need to reset your iPhone (hold home + sleep button)
After you restart your iPhone, your InboxTest folder should show up, and your Inbox should be downloading new emails correctly. If your Inbox starts working again, do not open the InboxTest folder from your iPhone -- you will need to login from your computer again and go through the various emails in the InboxTest folder, one of them is corrupt or caused the issue to begin with... so delete any that you don't need
I hope this helps, it's the procedure as I could remember it when I was talking to the Apple tech... it may not be step by step but I think it will work -- if not just call Apple.

I accidentally deleted my synchronized yahoo mail folder

Do I need to create a new folder for my synced yahoo mail - I accidentally deleted the folder when I was trying to "clean up" my yahoo mail folders.

Load your backup for the entire iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in the iPhoto library - that is why you have a backup to protect against hardware, software and human failures

Can I sync Mac mail w/iphone and Yahoo mail?

I'm used to checking my Yahoo mail on my Mac using the mail program (not Mobile Me). Now that I've got an iPhone it checks it on Yahoo mail and uses Yahoo mail folders. I've got lots of stuff stored on my Mac in mail folders and still prefer to check my mail there. When I send a mailnote from my Mac it, obviously, doesn't show up in my sent mail in Yahoo. Is there a way to sync all of this? I really prefer the Mac mail interface than Yahoo's web browser interface. Also, the filters (a.k.a. rules) work way better in Mail.
Thoughts or am I missing something?
Thanks.
-Robin

Robin,
iTunes will sync the email account settings to the iPhone, not the actual emails and folders.
When you setup the account on the iPhone, by tapping Add Account> Yahoo!> entering you account info, it is setup as a IMAP account.
Heres a thread discussing not being able to setup up a Yahoo! IMAP account on a Mac or PC: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1020969
You can contact Yahoo! support here: http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/
Also you can workaround the issue by setting up a MobileMe or Gmail IMAP account.

Yahoo mail icon

Hello all, I wanted to ask if anyone else had this problem or knows of a solution for it:
When I reboot my Bold 9650, the little purple Yahoo mail icon disappears EVERY TIME?!? When it happens I can go to set up; email accounts; delete my Yahoo email; and then re-add it and I would get the little purple Y icon over the standard email icon on my phone....HOWEVER this past week when I do that I can't get my little purple Y icon to show back up.
I know is not exclusive to the Bold 9650 because I had a Pearl Flip 8330 and everytime I would have to re-boot (or do a battery pull) I would lose the icon on that phone too.
I know this isn't mission critical for most people but it matters to me! Thanks in advance for your replies!

This is currently a known issue. I have provided you with a work around until the issue is resolved. Here are the steps below:
Back up the BlackBerry Bold 9000 smartphone using the BlackBerry® Desktop Manager software.
Wipe the BlackBerry Bold 9000 smartphone.
Perform a selective restore of the customer's important data using the BlackBerry Desktop Manager software.
Hope this helps!
Okay, how do you do a 'wipe'? When my Pearl Flip 8330 crashed I did move my data from the backup files using desktop software but I never did a complete 'wipe' before....
Thanks for your help!

Why is the mail in my yahoo and other folders disappearing?

Please help I am new to apple and I pad and need my email.. The mail that is just disappearing is from yahoo, hotmail, the g mail doesn't seem to be affected.

All the YAHOO emails I move from the inbox to my folders disappear after a couple of days - I just spoke to Yahoo Customer Services via Live Chat and they advised me that it's a known issue that they are working on - in the meantime their advice is not to move emails between folders using an iOS device or open any from within a folder - i.e. on your iPad/iPhone only view them in your Inbox. Sent Items folder isn't affected.
