Yahoo mail inbox message problem in OS X mail

OS X Mail doesn't receive mail from yahoo anymore. I can send mail, see other folders with same account. When I get account info with ctrl+click yahoo inbox, all of the folders have some megabytes, but inbox has 0 bytes altough there are many unread mail in yahoo inbox.

Try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

Some have reported success simply by reinstalling the update.

Or download and apply, or reapply, the 10.6.8 Combo update first, then apply the Security Update again.

I'd suggest starting with the simplest of these fixes, so look them over first.

Apple Mail Inbox - messages keep disappearing!

I've been searching and trying various tips from other similar discussions. Here's the deal...I switched from Entourage to Apple Mail about a year ago and imported all of my email folders and messages into Mail. Everything was setup via Gmail POP and I switched to IMAP a few months ago. Realizing that with IMAP I could now move all of my folders from "On My Mac" to "MyName" so that my folders and ALL emails would be visible in Gmail and on my iPhone, I made the move last week. Here's where the issues began.
Each time I moved a folder, everything EXCEPT notes in my Inbox would disappear until the folder was finished moving over. I got used to that and figured it was just Mail being lazy/tired/what have you. I finished moving all of my folders and emails around on Thursday and have STILL been having the Inbox issue. I've tried rebuilding my Inbox, but it only ever seems to work if I select all Mailboxes (Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Trash & Junk) and even then it only works sometimes. I can still see my inbox messages in Gmail and my iPhone, so thankfully they aren't lost.
I have tried repairing permissions, moving library/cache/mail and library/mail/envelope index to my desktop and rebooting. But what do I do after that? I have a feeling it may also be tied to my rules and have deleted both rules plists. Am I supposed to move the folder and files from desktop back to library after rebooting or do I have to reset my entire mail and my 100s of thousands of message??

Have you tried changing the location of the mail server into your iPhone using your Yahoo ! account?

E72: e-mail and message problem

Hi,
I want to safe up some space on my phone memory so I tried this:
-Menu-messaging-settings-other-change phone memory to memory card.
Now when i try that, for like 2 seconds the phone says "changing message memory in use", then it closes and the menu screen is back open. And when i check back to the setting, the memory use is still on "phone memory"...
-Another thing i did was deleting a lot of e-mails in my hotmail inbox. But when I restarted my phone, they were there again... How do you shorten the amount of emails that are held on the phone?
Thanks in advance,
Thijs

I have no idea about the messages' storage memory, sorry
About your mailbox problem, after you delete emails, you should wait until the next synchronization and do a restart to see if they are there

Mail inbox messages disappear with gmail IMAP

I've just set up an IMAP connection to my gmail account in Mail and after reading a message in my inbox, the message disappears from my inbox and I can only find the email in All Mail.
Looking in gmail, the gmail inbox still contains all of the emails that should be in it, so I know that gmail isn't filtering or archiving read emails. Additionally, on my phone my inbox shows properly so I know that my problem lies with Mail itself.
I have deleted all my rules from Mail, so I know no filtering is going on at the Mail level either.
If anybody could please help me out...
Thanks,
Shawn

It happened upon resetting incoming SSL port per instructions from Web email Server firm.
This complaint in reported around the mac sites from Mail at least v. 2.5 on. Isn't anyone at Apple working on the problem??

Why can't mozilla work with yahoo to fix the problem of blank e mails?

Ok the only way i could read my messages in yahoo was to remove completely fire fox 8.0.1. and re-download fire fox 3.6.22, before i change back to 8 or higher, you need to work with yahoo mail, and others to fix the problem or it will happen again. sorry but your educated guesses about my current browser will not work until you fix he problem, because you want me to up date my browser, and that is my problem. you shouldn't make any guesses until you fully know what is going on. Stan

OK I read the link you posted and I tried changing dom.ipc.plugins.enabled;true and dom.ipc.plugins.java.enabled;true to false, and back to true again. Nothing changed and I could not really understand the majority of the thread you posted, I am not a coder and I have no idea what any of that stuff even is.
I don't know how to "allow the plugin container process in the firewall" I googled it but all I find is more cryptic forum threads and I have no idea what any of it means.
Am I supposed to be looking at settings in my commodo program?
I am doing my best here, and trying to solve the issue, I really appreciate all your help. It is very frustrating because I am not familiar with browser settings and technical things relating to plugin containers and out of process plugins.
Thanks again for all your help, but nothing seems to be working.

Inbox messages won't appear on Mail

My ymail account won't sync to my Mail. I'm on OS X. I'm not too sure what happened. All my other accounts like hotmail and another yahoo mail are synced and I can access my messages. I tried deleting the account but it's still the same.

it depends on how is your Outlook configured to fetch the emails. Do you leave them on the email server ? If not, then once Outlook has swallowed them, the Blackberry device can't see them on the server.

Apple Mail inbox message disappear after a week

I have a brand new iMac running 10.8.2. I am using the Apple Mail program to view emails from an AT&T DSL account.
The emails just disappear after a certian time and I can not find any setting for this in preferences (note this is not deleted e-mail, but rather all email in my inbox) As of 4/3, the oldest email is dated 3/27 in my inbox.
The emails are on the AT&T server still, and my old iMac is also receiving them and not removing them.
How do I change this please?

Quit Mail.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the text on the line below to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. If you get a warning that the file is in use when you try to empty the Trash, log out and log back in.

Mail "newest message" problem

When I select a message in Mail, despite the option of "newest message" being selected in preferences it does not display the newest message. I have to scroll up to the top to see the latest email.

Try rebuilding the mailbox. This can take awhile if you have a lot of mail.

Mail: Incoming messages problem.

Hiya,
Since around October my Apple Mail has been playing up, when I open Apple mail and click get mail it shows it downloading my mail it gets to around 17/310 message and then the download slowly decreases to 0kb and by the 22nd message it stops downloading mail completely.
I am pretty sure that there are not even 310 messages.
Also if I try and quit mail while it is checking for mail at 0kb it wont quit until I force quit it.
Any suggestions to getting mail to work, I am currently using Thunderbird which I am not getting on with.

Also I am using OSX 10.5.8
and my mac is fully updated.
I have tried removing the mail plist files and that didn't work.
I also tried using pacifist to restore the mail verison for my OSX disk but it said that this version of mail didn't work with this version of the OS so I had to restore it from time machine.

Why e-mail inbox suddenly stopped showing new e-mails

I have had my phone for several months and suddenly no mail is coming to my inbox. I am able to send e-mails from my yahoo account but not receive. I have checked settings and passwords and all seems correct. Has anyone encountered this problem with the Samsung Galaxy S III?

People have reported various issues regarding Yahoo with various phones on both ICS and JB. You may want to use the Yahoo Mail app off Google Play as a workaround, or delete your account and set it up as an 'other' account.

Here's my reply to another discussion on the general procedures for setting up a Mail account.
But without the specifications defined by your ISP no one can tell you any more specific details. They should have a web page somewhere (or call them) that supplies all the relevant information:
Incoming (pop) mail server
mail login user name and password
pop port
ssl requirements
authentication type (password?)
Outgoing (smtp) mail server
smtp port
ssl requirements
authentication type (password?)
mail login user name and password

Outbound Apple Mail Gmail Messages Trapped in Outbox

Mavens,
On an iMac running Mavericks (OS X 10.9 (13A603)) and Apple Mail 7.0 (1822), outbound GMail messages remain trapped in the Outbox.
NOTE: This GMail account is using Google's 2-step Verification with an Application-specific Password for Apple Mail.
Apple Mail does access GMail's Inbox (it seems that all Gmail Inbox messages are reflected in Apple Mail's Inbox).
Outbound Gmail Emails remain trapped in Apple Mail's Outbox.
ALSO—
If Apple Mail is closed, then re-opened, it (Apple Mail) asks for the GMail password...over & over & over...the only solution I've found is to create a new Google Application-specific password. Very tedious, and quite un-Apple-like ("...it just works.").
If you've encountered—and fixed—either of these problems...what do you suggest? Any ideas?
Many, many thanks in advance.
Best,
Plane Wryter

May have found a fix!
Thrashing around in Mail | Preferences | Accounts...
I painstakingly worked through all the settings for the GMail account (e.g., double-checking IMAP and SMTP parameters).
In doing so, I notices that the setting for "TLS Certificate" was "None" (as it is for my other GMail accounts).
On a whim, I clicked the drop-down for TLS Certificate...and selected com.apple.idms.etc.etc.
Allons-y! It worked.
A moment after selecting the TLS Certficate setting...the [formerly] trapped Outbox Emails launched on their way.
If you have the same symptoms, I hope this helps.

Apple Mail outgoing message exceeds ISP size limit?

A short e-mail with a 16MB attachment sent via Apple Mail was rejected because, at 21.9MB, it exceeded the 20MB limit from ISP Verizon.
Same e-mail and attachment sent from the same computer across the same ISP via G-mail had no problem.
Does Apple mail add 6MB of overhead to a message?
How can I fix that?

If the attachment is a picture or equivalent, it may be being displayed as such in the body of the email message. This could increase the size of the message as sent.
If that is the kind of attachment, try right-clicking (or Control-clicking) on it in the New Message window; from the contextual menu that appears, select "View as Icon".
Then test.
