Yahoo mail/iPhone

Another yahoo mail/iphone problem. I currently only have 67 yahoo emails on my iphone inbox, yet there are hundreds in my inbox on my laptop. Couple of things about it; when a new message comes in, it erases the oldest message to keep the total inbox messages to 67. In the sent items, it downloads 200 messages & at the bottom of the sent folder it has “Load More Messages…” 1,854 messages 256 unread, when clicked it downloads 50 more sent messages at a time (Wired). I have set up my yahoo mail on the iphone via “yahoo!mail” button, & as “other” with no luck. It doesn't give me the option to "Load More Messages…" in my inbox (it did previously). I have reformatted the phone to a clean install… same problem. Yahoo Mail on the iphone is immensely frustrating experience, it pushes, doesn’t push, goes to sleep, now this, sometimes I think Apple just wants to make the experience as miserable as possible to get people to switch to mobile me. And a note to all that say its yahoo’s fault, it can’t be because the same settings work on my MS Entourage, Apple Mail & Blackberry. If anyone has a fix I would greatly appreciate it.

Suggestions:
I was having weird problems with Yahoo and I tried reinstalling the account and had no luck until I first made sure I was signed out of Yahoo web mail. Yahoo can leave you signed in for 2 weeks even if your web browser isn't open. Then I went back and set up my Yahoo account again on my iPhone.
What I would want to find out is what email is #67? the one before/after? I would check to see if those messages aren't maybe causing a download error and interrupting the full retrieval. This can happen if an email becomes corrupt or the client decides it doesn't like it.
Your "Sent" mailbox behavior appears normal

  • Yahoo Mail, Iphone and Apple Mail

    Hi,
    I don't currently have an Iphone but plan to get one in the coming months. I've been having trouble finding answers to questions regarding Push Yahoo Mail:
    1. Are yahoo e-mails sent through the Iphone also saved in the sent messages folder on the Yahoo server?
    2. Not an Iphone question, but has anyone noticed when using Apple Mail with Yahoo Pop 3 (I'm a paid premium member), messages sent thru Apple Mail are NOT saved in the sent folder on the Yahoo server? G-mail Pop 3 DOES.
    3. Does the Iphone recognize e-mails filtered into Yahoo Mail's folders? Apple Mail doesn't.
    Any info much appreciated!

  • Cannot send or receive yahoo mail or gmail from iPhone . installed ios 6 recently. tried rebooting the phone and deleting the email account and adding again but nothing works ! can someone suggest a solution?

    cannot send or receive yahoo mail or gmail from iPhone . installed ios 6 recently. tried rebooting the phone and deleting the email account and adding again but nothing works ! can someone suggest a solution?

    Not sure about yahoo, but for gmail, I done the following:
    Set up using Exchange on iPhone, it'll keep prompting for password.  On PC use captcha option, log in to gmail account from PC after completingg captcha option, enter password on iPhone.
    See how that goes for gmail, let us know.
    Hopefully someone will have fix for yahoo.

    Hello there stidhambr15,
    I was researching the issue you are having and recommend a couple of things. First it might be a good idea to reset the device following iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't quite get the device going again, I recommend restoring the device.
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    Might even be a good idea to turn off the phone, reseat the SIM card, and turn it back on.

  • IPhone 4s has yahoo mail icon permanently on safari when there are no open pages

    My iPhone 4s using iOS7.0.2 has a Yahoo mail icon displaying permanently on the top of Safari when there are no open pages. The icon did not disappear even when I deleted my Yahoo mail account. The icon also has my Yahoo username displayed below it. Is there any way I can remove the Yahoo mail icon from permanently displaying on Safari? I cleared my history, cookies and data, but the Yahoo icon is still there.

    I have the same issue and koban4max's sugggestion doesn't work (well, it works, but you'll need to do it once a day.) I am surprised this hasn't been widely reported either as an iphone, Verizon or Yahoo issue. I tried various suggestions (deleting/re-adding account, moving messages to a new folder and changing password on computer/iphone, etc.) It will push for a while but stop pushing in a few hours or a few days. This leads me to believe somewhere in the interface corrupts the process. I would love to know if it's unique to Verizon, iphone 4S or IOS 5, or all of the above. The phone doesn't even fetch according to schedule, only when you are in the application. BTW, the Exchange push solution for Gmail works wonderfully.

  • 2 yahoo mail accounts, but only 1 will notify my iphone of mail, or even update the inbox at all.

    I have 2 yahoo mail accounts. One of them updates to my iphone every time I get a message, the other one does not. In fact, the other one will not load new messages at all. I have deleted the account from my phone and reactivated it. I have updated to iOS 6.1.1 (from iOS 5). I have turned it on and off again. I have made certain push notifications are ON and Fetch is set to 15 minutes. Any other solutions out there?

    Delete the account and start over.

  • I have 2 questions regarding the iphone 5. 1 How do i get my yahoo mail set up. I tried the setting it up as both a yahoo mail and other mail. 2. I seem to have lost my notes on my iphone 5 but I have them on my ipad. How can I use cloud to sync my notes?

    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.

  • Yahoo mail issues on iPad mini and iPhone 5s/ iOS8?

    Yahoo mail suddenly shows "no mail" in the inbox.  Using the Yahoo! SMTP Server on iPad mini w/Retina, iPhone 5S, both with iOS 8.  Tried rebooting, deleting and re-installing yahoo.  I can still send.  Yahoo mail on mac, mobile web, and yahoo downloadable app works.  I have resorted to downloading the Yahoo mobile app.  Any suggestions on getting the device mail to work again?

    I have the same problem. At the bottom of the inbox window, it momentarily says "Downloading 1 of 250" then quickly changes to "Updated Just Now" without displaying any email. All other folders show mail!!! Only the inbox does not display email. I have also tried hard-resetting the iPhone.

  • Yahoo Mail no longer showing up on iPhone 5

    Yahoo Mail on iPhone won't show any new emails. Been a few days now. Restarted the phone several times. Deleted the Yahoo Mail account from phone and then added it back - did that twice now. All of my saved folders from Yahoo Mail show up but there is now no old or new mail in any of the folders. I cannot send any emails from the Yahoo address either.
    This happened once before for like 3 days. Then I woke up one morning and all my mail was magically there.
    Has anyone else dealt with this?

    A lot of people have been unable to access Yahoo e-mail on their iPhones or iPads. 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.
    https://portal.smartertools.com/kb/a2659/configure-imap-for-iphone-or-ipad.aspx
    https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mobile-mail/imap-server-settings-sln4075.html
    On the iPhone, tap Settings.
    Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Tap your Yahoo account, then delete it.
    Tap Add Account.
    Tap Other.
    Tap Add Mail Account.
    Complete the Name, Address (email address), Password and Description fields.
    Click Next.
    Ensure IMAP is selected.
    Enter the following incoming mail server information:
    Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
    Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
    Port: 993
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Hostname is mail.yahoo.com.
    Username is your full email address
    Password is the same password used to access webmail.
    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!

  • HT201320 This last week, I updated my iPhone with iOS6 and now my Yahoo Mail no longer works.  I've deleted and restored the account without fixing the problem.  The iOS update did not effect my iPad.  Anyone have a suggestion?

    This last week (of 17 Sep 12) I updated my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 and now my Yahoo mail does not work.  I keep getting a "Yahoo server busy" message.  This problem has not effected the update to my iPad 3 - it works fine.  In addition, I have deleted and added my Yahoo mail - same result.  Looking for ideas on repairing the link between iOS 6 and Yahoo.  Cheers

    Same here, albeit with a 3G and both a work Exchange account and personal Gmail are out of action.  Reentered my password on the Gmail to no avail.
    Unfortunately it seems that increased success has come too fast to Apple, it's starting to display Microsoft-like behaviors, e.g., releasing stuff and letting the customers serve as the beta / guinea pigs.

  • How to use standard yahoo mail in Safari on my iPhone?

    I try to get my mail through safari on my iphone using regular web-based yahoo mail. After I sign in, there is a toolbar at the bottom that has buttons like delete, compose mail etc. It was not there in the first place but I don't know what I pressed and it showed up. Is there any way to hide that toolbar?
    Message was edited by: sturtle

    Why would you want to use web based Yahoo mail when the iPhone supports Yahoo mail in the native mail client, even if it's not a premium account?
    Just set up your yahoo account in Mail.

  • Syncing iphone calendar with yahoo mail

    Hi,
    I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to sync my iphone calendar with my yahoo calendar. I use att yahoo for my email and prefer to continue doing so. I have an old version of Outlook with no calendar. Short of buying a new version of Outlook for my computer, is there any solutions? I don't understand why this shouldn't be possible since I can get Yahoo mail on my iphone. Would Mobile Me do that?

    Sjazbec, I have to disagree based on experience. Since activatingiCloud on my iPhone 4 (updated to IOS 5) and the mail app on my newiMac (running LION) last Tuesday, NONE of my email shows up in theyahoo inbox via the mail app on my iphone. ALL of my email is visiblefrom the yahoo website page through Safari. NONE of the mail sent frommy iPhone appears in the Sent folder on Yahoo.
    Until last Tuesday, none of this happened with my iPhone 4.
    Onmy iPhone, I went to Settings->iCloud and deleted my iCloud account(option available if you scroll all the way down) completely, andvoila, lo and behold, instantly, all my email since Tuesday magicallyappears in my inbox.
    I admit it's likely I have noconcept as to how iCloud is supposed to work. Of course, I bought bothLion and IOS5 and neither came with any explanation.
