Yahoo Mail & Mail

I've been using my (free) Yahoo mail account on Apple Mail for years - earlier this year I stopped being able to send from Mail using my Yahoo account - I worked around this simply by sending from my .mac email and filling in my Yahoo email address in the 'reply to' area.
However, yesterday Mail stopped receiving mail from my yahoo address too and I can't fathom why. All the account settings appear to be correct. In mail activity, every so often it flashes up there's 144 incoming messages (which sounds about right, considering the amount of rubbish I get sent) but it doesn't actually receive them.
I don't believe I've made any changes to anything, so I'm at a loss as to what to do.

At least in the U.S., Yahoo! Mail does not allow sending or receiving via POP access unless you have a Yahoo! Mail Plus account, which is $20 per year. The same may be true in the U.K. now, but I'm not versed in whether the law allows them to do that there. But if they did, that would explain the problem, though they should have notified you.
On the other hand, they could be having a temporary problem with their mail servers, but I can't imagine it would go for days without some sort of public announcement. I'd contact them via their Help page and describe your problem and ask what you can do to get it working again.

  • Yahoo e-mail won't update the time since it's last update

    Ok, so Yahoo Push has been unreliable since the release of the iPhone. However as of today I have a new issue.
    When I go into my Yahoo e-mail Inbox on my iPhone and hit the update button, my e-mail account will update and download my new e-mails, however the "Updated Time" at the bottom of the screen seems to be stuck at 9:43am.
    I have done the following to fix the issue to no avail:
    - soft reset
    - hard reset
    - deleted the yahoo email account from the iPhone and re-installed it
    - cleared cache, history and cookies from my iPhone
    This issue only happens with my Yahoo INBOX. When I go to my trash, sent or other folders once the update has happened the "Updated Time" will change in those folders.
    BTW - I am using a Yahoo Plus! account and switching to a Gmail account isn't a feasible solution.
    Anyone else experiencing this issue? Anyone know how to fix this issue?
    Your help is appreicated.

    Out of desperation here is what I did to fix my problem. I should note that while this refreshed the time for when my inbox was most recently updated it also made my Yahoo Push emails come through immediateley and is still continuing to work.
    1. Log into my Yahoo account (on my computer) and put all my inbox emails in a temporary holding folder
    2. Update my Yahoo inbox on my iPhone so that it will show no emails in my Yahoo inbox
    3. Delete my Yahoo account on my iPhone
    4. Log back into Yahoo on my computer and drag all the the emails that I placed in the "holding folder" back into my inbox
    5. Hard reset my iPhone
    6. Create a new Yahoo account on my iPhone using the settings provided by the iPhone
    7. Once the iPhone confirms the account viola...time is now updated on my inbox to show the most current date/time that it was updated and my Yahoo push emails are coming through without a problem.
    Hope it works for you as well.

  • Keeping my BT Yahoo Premium Mail Account, I am hav...

    I cancelled my BT Broadband Option 3 subscription around Nov 20th 2011 and I discovered on the internet that my BT Yahoo Premium mail would be terminated 90 days after my BT Broadband was cancelled, I've had my bt email account for around 10 years so I don't want to lose it.
    I've been running around in circles trying to get the £1.54 monthly charge setup so that I can keep my exisiting BT Yahoo email account all have lead to a dead end .. could you please help me .....
    Here are some problems listed below that I've encountered:-
    1) I navigate to the following BT website link where it advertises to 'keep my email' account for bt yahoo premium for £1.54 / month, I enter my email account and it states "there is a problem with the status of your account" and doesn't allow me to progress further with the upgrade. Here is the link...
    http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/consumerProducts/displayTopic.do?topicId=26508&s_cid=con_FURL_...
    I still have a bt.com/btyaoo account and a BT landline and I can setill see broadband being billed for Nov 2011 so I don't understand why it will not allow me to upgrade here on the link above.
    2) I was advised by BT operatives to go to the following alternative BT web page to upgrade to BT Yahoo premium mail and most of you will be more familiar with this one... however it only allows the user to generate a NEW BT Yahoo email address NOT KEEP your EXISTING email address despite the link advertising that you can keep it..... after entering my bank account details and I enter my btopenworld email account the web page stops with an error stating that my BT Yahoo email adress is 'already taken': here is the link, also there is a link from my http://home.bt.yahoo.com/  'my account' page to the very same link stated below... the link is named 'Upgrade To Premium Mail' which is very deceptive as it is not an upgrade of your exisiting email account its an entirely new email address that it allows you to create only and this is no good. Here is the link .. with the premium link right at the bottom...
    https://register.btinternet.com/cgi-bin/registernow?version=ie5&ex=1&product_type=PMR
    3) I was advised by a BT operator to contact the BT Yaho premium mail team on the phone (I have a BT phone landline btw) and I called 0808 100 6778 Option 2 (email) Option (1 Change email) on a Sunday at 11am and all I got was the following message then the line cut off, the team should have been there as the message stated but the help service team was not available which is perplexing .. here is the message is this service dead ?
    "Welcome to BT our advisors are available from 9am to 9pm Monday to Friday and 9am to 6:30pm Saturday to Sunday"
     Not true...
    I remember calling the yahoo premium email team around the 20th Nov 2011 (about a month ago) and they told me that I would receive an email warning me that my BT Yahoo email account would be cancelled in 90 days with an option to upgrade to premium... this email has not been received (I even checked bt yahoo spam folder) hence why I am getting worried about not being able to renew my BT Yahoo Email Account.
    4) I called up other BT Broadband and technical numbers but they can detect from my BT landline that I no longer have BT Broadband so those numbers are not availale to me for help.
    In summary it seems that you do have a service to upgrade to BT Yahoo Premium Email for BT users who have left BT Broadband but it is EXTREMELY difficualy to obtain to customers who are willing to pay for this service. Can anyone out there please help me. If I lose the email account it is a very serious matter to me as I have had it around 10+ years.

    I'm moving from BT Broadband. I'm wanting to keep the email address and have found that going here...
    http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12682/~/what's-the-difference-between-bt-yahoo!-premi...
    and then clicking on www.bt.com/premiummail gets you:
    Sorry, this page is currently unavailable
    The tip (as stated above) about phoning the number above worked well.
    I was told by the support person there is a 90 day grace period after the end of the BT Broadband and an email will come through on about day 86. The guy on the phone said ring the same number again then to upgrade to subscribe to the service.
    If there is a department in BT that looks at things that don't work on their website it might be worth fixing this.

  • My yahoo e-mail not pushing to iPhone4, again.  Had this same problem in October for several weeks.  My kids and husband have 3 other types of smart phones, and none of them are experiencing this problems.  This has been going on for 2 weeks so far.

    My yahoo e-mail is not pushing to my iPhone4, again.  Had this same problem for several weeks in October/November 2011.  It's been a problem again for two weeks now.  My kids and husband have three other types of smart phones, and none of them have had this problem.  I'm NOT impressed.  I've seen that others in the iPhone community have also been having this problem.  Is Apple doing anything about it?

    It's a yahoo issue. Nothing you can do on your phone to fix it.

  • My E pad has stopped directing me to my att/yahoo e mail. It gives me a notice that i must go to Settings, Safrai and turn off Private Browsing. I have tried for 2 days to find private browsing on my safrai site, and it is just not there.

    Forsome reason, after two years, my E Pad is refusing to go to my att.Yahoo e mail...It says to go to Settings Safari Private Browsing and turn off Private Browsing. There is not place on the Safrari page that gives me Private Browsing. It explains it as being dark when turned on, but no place to turn it on or off.  Also it seems to go to Yahoo Mail instead of Att..Yahoo when it gives me the above message....Any One know what todo?

    As of iOS 7, private browsing is not longer handled in the Settings app, but in Safari directly. The only Settings function for Safari that may impact this would be Block cookies.
    Private browsing is turned on and off in Safari using the button in teh lower left of the Safari screen (if you do not see this, tap the + icon in the upper right to pull up an empty tab).

  • On my iphone4 i need to be able to use both TDS and Yahoo e-mail.  TDS works only sporadically.  For instance, today I was able to both send and receive, then an hour later could not send.  got the message that the server was not recognized.

    On my iphone4 I need to be able to receive and send both TDS and Yahoo e-mail accounts (I also need to access from my Macbook Pro and my HP desktop).  I have NO problem with Yahoo, but with TDS, the e-mail seemed to work on my phone.... and then it didn't.)  In adding the TDS account, I chose "other" ( TDS is somehow accessed on the back end through gmail).  For the incoming server I used the Incoming Sever Name of pop.gmail.com and the Outgoing Mail Server as smtp.gmail.com.  I have using SSL "on" and the server port is 995.  Is this setup correct for TDS?

    FYI: POP will by default, delete messages from the server after downloading them (This applies to most pop clients, computer or mobile). POP is old tech and is not recommended if IMAP or Exchange are available. The default when setting up a g-mail type account is IMAP. Full synchronization with the server. You may also be able to set it up as an Exchange account, allowing for push e-mail and sync of calendars and contacts as well. See the Gmail help pages for instructions.

  • BT Yahoo E-mail - how to protect my primary addres...

    I've just joined, and it looks like a good time to join as I've only
    found 11 postings to check on 'BT Yahoo E-mail'. I've also tried
    the BT website but I get confused with the many different
    names, and confused between Yahoo and BT Yahoo. If you
    are in a hurry skip the next paragraph.
    After about 20 years with dial-up BT internet using a very short
    E-mail address (I thought this was clever at the time) I still collect
    tons of spam on that account (now PAYG, kept in reserve).
    So when I upgraded to BT Broadband (Option 1) I chose a new, long,
    muddled primary address which, of course, is also my address for accessing
    the broadband service. I have decided only to use BT Yahoo
    webmail and only to use the 'disposable' addresses provided by
    'Address Guard'. But, of course, whenever I wish to send mail the default
    sending address is my primary address and I am worried that sooner
    or later I will use this by mistake when I wish to keep it to myself.
    Question) Is there any way I can select one of my 'Address Guard' addresses
    instead of my primary address to be the default address for sending e-mails
    using BT Yahoo?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks to Andy_N, 86sixsix and Ectophile for some ideas but it looks as if
    I have failed to describe the problem sufficiently clearly, for which I apologise.
    I have no problems in sending messages 'as from' Address Guard
    'disposable addresses', which appear in the 'reply to' field and the
    replies are indeed addressed this way and they arrive OK.
    All these disposable addresses are associated with my primary address.
    I realise I can set up sub-addresses, and perhaps I can create
    a new set of disposable addresses attached to these (I'm not
    asking about this), but this would then move my 'problem' to the
    sub-address and I would need to migrate all my traffic to a new set
    of disposable addresses.
    I'll try to re-state the problem -
    I send all E-mails via BT Yahoo each using one of about 100 different
    addresses of the form [email protected].
    I go to 'mail' > 'New' and I have a drop-down menu in the 'From'
    box listing all these addresses in alphabetical order together with
    my primary address, which happens to be at the bottom, and which
    would otherwise be at the top, which is highlighted in blue for
    selection. So if I'm 'tired and emotional', or just plain careless,
    I might just click on this one first instead of scrolling up to the wanted
    address and so I would be sending an E-mail from my primary
    address which I do not wish to reveal (because I could not
    extinguish any resultant spam by withdrawing that address from
    use). What I would like to do is have the BT Yahoo system
    offer me one of my disposable addresses as the default choice
    so that any carelessly-sent message will go from a disposable
    address. Better still I would like to have to 'unlock' something
    ibefore my primary address.even appeared in the list.
    So I'm expecting to learn either that this cannot be done within
    BT Yahoo as it is, or that there is a mechanism for doing this but
    I have failed to find it in the documentation, or that there is a
    mechanism for doing this but it is undocumented, or that an
    administrator is able to make this happen at my request.
    If this facility is not available within BT Yahoo I hopethat I am not
    alone in wanting it.

  • BT Yahoo e-mail Account and MacBook Pro

    Hi All
    This is my very first post, so please be patient if this topic has: 
    1) Already been covered.  The ones I have found seem a bit too technical for me (embarrassing!)
    2) Shows I'm a bit of a novice
    For a number of months now I have been happily plodding along with accessing both my AOL and BT Yahoo emails usingmy MacBook Pro.  That was until last week when I noticed I was being prompted for a password for my BT Yahoo emailaddress.  Upon entering my password, which I know to be correct, it came up with another message stating that it wasn'trecognised.  I then uninstalled then reinstalled the BT Yahoo email account and am continuously getting the same issue.  Iwill walk through when adding an account in the hope that someone may be able to thankfully help!  Again, please excusemy novice walkthru.  I am not the greatest expert when it comes to issues like this!
    RE-INSTALLING BT YAHOO ACCOUNT
    On MacBook, go to Mail, Preferences and click on the + to add a new email account.
    Following fields are required: Full name, e-mail Address and Password.  These are already detailed, apart from thepassword which is entered.

  • (Mac Mail) How to obtain Yahoo! Mail when: You're inbox dissapears or does not show after all settings seem perfectly in place.

    Hello everyone!
    Note**: I am in no way attempting to illustrate how to get FREE email listing from Yahoo! Mail, I am only reciting what I have stumbled upon. I do not know if Yahoo! actually wants this to work in Mail. but it does, so if they didn't want it to work they will patch it or something. I recommend that you take advantage of their paid service(annual) which allows POP forwarding of emails quickly and withou any need for reconfiguration.
          I hope this "fix" is not being rementioned or creates redundancy, however after hours of searching all sorts of foums(including the Apple forums ofcourse) I was unable to find a true fix. Simply put, I just got a brand new Macbook Air 13'' for Christmas 2011. I also bought a Macbook Pro 15'' back in late 2010. I was never able to get Yahoo! Mail configured even through methods of IMAP rather than POP or POP3. Oddly enough, on my Macbook Air and Pro, now, when I try to redo the Yahoo! settings, my Inbox would display messages for a matter of seconds and then the messages would dissapear. However, there was still a number next to my Yahoo! e-mail, accurately indicating how many unread messages I had. I fixed it like so:
    1) Go to www.yahoo.com-- Configure Yahoo! account via account settings to work off of IMAP rather than POP Forwarding. Do so by going into account options on the top right or left hand of your screen and clicking through the forwarding options until you see IMAP. Make sure you save your new settings! This is very simple and I feel requires no further explanation. If you become confused, let me know and I will go into detail then.
    2) Once your Yahoo! Mail account is IMAP simply go into the Mail application on OSX (Mac). On the top bar of the Mail pane click on the "Mail" option in between the Apple sign and File.  Then, Click on Preferences from that dropdown pane. When this window appears, Click on the "@" symbol that says "Accounts" right under it. This is in between General and RSS options. Under the left-hand list that says "Accounts", click on the "+" sign as opposed to the "-" sign you will see there. This will allow you to setup an account or additional accounts. A window then will appear with options:
    3) ****Make sure you ARE connected to the internet wirelessly or via ethernet for this part!****
    ---------- Full Name: (Enter Full Name Here)
    ---------- Email Address: (Type in full email address, e.g.: [email protected])
    ---------- Password: (Type in your password to your email account, this IS CASE SENSITIVE.)
    4) Now! Listen! (lol), hit create and let the mac show you the settings it has pinged back from the Yahoo! mail server. It should illustrate that your e-mail is an IMAP based email address etc. As long as the account is created with the IMAP configuration and Mail reads it as so, you have succeeded thus far.
    5) Critial Step here: Go into the Mail application on OSX (Mac). On the top bar of the Mail pane click on the "Mail" option in between the Apple sign and File.  Then, Click on Preferences from that dropdown pane. When this window appears, Click on the "@" symbol that says "Accounts" right under it. This is in between General and RSS options. Under the left-hand list that says "Accounts", click on the Yahoo! IMAP account. Close to the top of that page between the different Mail options and the account settings you will see three different bar pages: a) Account Information, b) Mailbox Behaviors and c) Advanced.
    6) Click on the Advanced tab. Do not touch anything on this page, except, IMAP Path Prefix. This is located in the middle of the Advanced page screen right above Port, where you will see |Port:   993   (Box IS checked for: USE SSL). In that IMAP Patch Prefix type the name of your Inbox(I say this because some people rename it in Yahoo!). Mine is simply "Inbox" so my configuration in Mail looks like so: | Imap Path Prefix:  Inbox |. After this, click on "General" or attempt to close the Mail options window and it will as you to save the new setting. Ofcourse, hit yes and click the Get Mail envelope and you will see your Inbox populate, assuming you have new mail.
    What this means: Test your OUTGOING mail server by sending yourself an e-mail either from your Yahoo! Mail or from another email. Thus, this will allow you tot est your INCOMING email as was now reconfigured to IMAP by seeing if you actually receive the email.
    Reason for doing so in this sequence: By letting Mail create the account it will properly import all of your mail folders you have in your Yahoo! Mail account. Obviously, your Inbox and Outbox as well as Sent and Trash folders will import but I have additional folders, for example, that also imported for putting financials or receipts into different folders for organization. Once these are populated naturally, by changing the IMAP Path Prefix you're telling the Mail application where to send your new emails. Atleast this is my understanding of it.
    Unfortuntely, I am not an officially educated 'techie", however, I have been fiddling with computers over the last 20 years and have been training myself to become Apple expert, seing as I have decided to completely convert to Apple products. Apple is just reliable. This, to me, is priceless. I truly hope I have helped you and that I have saved hours of Youtube video watching as well as forum searching for many. Should you have any questions, FEEL FREE to ask! I love helping others, hense why I have made this post(my first Apple post). Happy Holidays everyone and enjoy!

    What Mac Mail did was delete ALL inbox messages from my yahoo account, after one week from importing them to Mac Mail.
    The Yahoo server did exactly what you Mail program told it to do.
    Mail/Preferences/Account/Advanced - This setting is adjustable for each mail account.
    I didn't know about this feature until it was too late. I have already unchecked it for future emails.
    I was wondering if there is a way to retrieve these deleted messages back to my yahoo inbox.
    Not Really, you could forward them to your account, after you've told your mail program not to delete the emails at all, but they will show up as being from you instead of the original sender. The originals at Yahoo have been dumped and probably purged. It would take an IT manager at Yahoo to manually replace the emails, not much chance of that.
    I've already asked yahoo to "restore" my inbox to a day ago. That should help me with retrieving some of the messages back, I hope.
    Also, I was wondering about the sync feature on the Mac Mail and what will actually happen if I use it. Does it apply to mail messages, or to address book and calendar entries?
    The sync feature refers to IMAP email accounts like .Mac or .Me or an Imap gmail account. I didn't think Yahoo offered IMAP email accounts.
    Apple's MobileMe membership will let you sync your Mail, AddressBook, Calender, personal website with iWeb, etc.
    "MobileMe is a service that pushes new email, contacts, and calendar events over the air to all your devices. So your iPhone, Mac, and PC stay in perfect sync."
    http://www.apple.com/mobileme/
    I wanted to use Mac Mail, see if I liked it or not, then decide to get a MobileMe account. However, this is still a side note, since my yahoo account is my main email client.
    You seem to be very well informed, and I was wondering if I can ask you to clarify a point for me. Do you know how to archive the inbox in the Mac Mail?
    And thank you for answering my queries.

  • Yahoo! Mail - No PUSH NOTIFICATIONS From Sleep Via Wi-Fi - Is There A Fix?

    I'm a power user, 100% positive I've got all the settings correct in the iPad. Push is turned to 'on', I've been to the Advanced screen and made sure that Yahoo is individually set to Push as well. While I have the 3G model since Friday's release, I have not set up an ATT account, have Cellular Data turned off. I've got strong wi-fi at work and at home, so no need for ATT yet.
    When I am actively using the iPad, I'll hear the 'ding' and see that I've got new Yahoo Mail. Push works in that scenario. But when the iPad has been sitting with its backlight off, in Sleep on the counter for, say, 20 minutes, I'll hear my iPhone (connected to ATT, not wi-fi) ding-ding-dinging away with new mail notifications while my iPad stays silent.
    Is Yahoo Mail push simply not supported via wi-fi? Is it not supported by the iPad at all?
    I've read many other posts in this forum from other frustrated Yahoo Mail users. Is there a fix?
    TIA

    If I put my iPhone into Airplane mode and then turn on WiFi (effectively making it WiFi only) then Yahoo Mail push won't work. It doesn't matter if the phone is awake or not.
    Yahoo actually states that push mail will only work for the iPhone if you are connected to a carrier. See their troubleshooting guide.
    That said, I don't know if this was changed for the iPad or not.
    Yahoo Push mail appears to be broken today anyway. At least I'm not getting push notifications on either of my Yahoo accounts.

  • Yahoo! Mail no longer loads emails and the ads are missing after having cleared Firefox's cookies, history, and cache.

    Ironically, I made this support account just to ask this question and had to go to IE to verify.
    Anyway, Yahoo! Mail use to work almost flawlessly before a couple days ago. Basically, the page loads like normal when I have a good connection except that the ads on the sides are missing, my profile picture is gone, the "fancy" rounded edges of the buttons are nonexistent, none of the menus work or open anything, and all of the links are useless. I have been searching for solutions for two hours now and none of them are relevant or useful:
    - Clear cookies = when I cleared cookies, cache and history is when the problem first started;
    - Disable Ghostery = I just learned about it today and so never installed it, but I also checked to make sure it wasn't there somehow;
    - Start in Safe Mode = the problem is still there and the only change was that it loaded the page faster;
    - Disable AVG = I can't because I can't find it anywhere...;
    - Disable Security/Change Permissions? = I think this was a suggested solution, but it already allows Yahoo! Mail to load images and set cookies while blocking pop-ups, location sharing, and installing themes/extensions;
    - Update Firefox = No. I like my old version. I keep hearing weird and annoying things about updated versions of Firefox, and I'm not going to risk losing everything else just to get Yahoo! Mail back
    I started using Firefox (3.6.12) because IE was slow, but ever since I tried clearing the cache, cookies and history Firefox has been going slower. Oddly enough, all of my browsing history was not deleted because certain web pages (that I haven't accessed in ages) show up in the address bar when I go to type. Gmail works in Firefox despite saying my browser isn't supported, but Yahoo! never bothers me about my browsers and now its acting strange.
    By the way, I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but right before Yahoo! Mail took the usability train off a cliff, it reloaded (because clearing the cookies logged me out), then told me the internet connection was slow and that I can switch to Basic for better results. I decided to stick with Classic and then it "crashed".
    Anyone help with this would be appreciated. One of the reasons I switched to FF is because Yahoo! Mail was faster on it, and I'd hate to have to go back to IE...
    Thanks in advance!

    As it turns out, many others have been having similar issues on other browsers. It seems that maybe Yahoo! is taking a much longer time to load or something like that. Either way, its been working on and off all week, and the same issue even showed up yesterday with IE 8 instead of FF. It still loads faster than IE 8, but again is spotty. Some people think the issue may be with mail.yimg.com or s.yimg.com, which I could see was the loading url in the left corner whenever Yahoo! Mail was refusing to work. A couple of people said blocking it caused the issue. Alternatively, some people suggested blocking it to solve the problem. Does anyone have any information on that? Again, I have no add-ons that would be blocking any urls, and my firewall hasn't any records of it. I really don't want to do anything to mess up my browsers more than they may have already been. Thanks for all of your help so far!

  • Restoring Data from old phone to S III and getting Yahoo E-Mail to work on the Galaxy S III

    I wanted to share some information on how to do a few things on the Galaxy SIII. After spending approximately 6 hours on the phone and On-Line Chat with Verizon Wireless Tech Support they told me the following things could not be done. Well FOR THE RECORD they CAN BE DONE!!!!!
    Here is how to Back-up and Restore your Text, Picture and Video messages from your old phone to your new phone:
    BEFORE you DEACTIVATE the OLD PHONE:
    Make sure you have an External SD card in your old phone that will work in your new phone
    Go to the Play Store and install Verizon Messages
    Open the Verizon Messages program and click on Back-UP – ALL Text, Picture and Video messages will be backed-up. IF YOU GET A “SAVE CANCELLED” MESSAGE:
                         You may have to Back-up LARGE messages (with picture & Video content) individually.
                        You may also have to backup conversation threads 1 at a time if there are a large number of texts in that thread:
         *****Hopefully Verizon will fix AND INCREASE the LOW AMOUNT OF DATA ALLOWED AT 1 TIME ON THIS APP SOON*****
    Once you have everything Backed Up on the External SD Card Remove the SD Card from the old phone and install it in the new phone
    NOW ACTIVATE YOUR NEW GALAXY S III:
    When you are in the Set-Up Wizard:
               If you are using Yahoo E-Mail and want it to be accessible by clicking on the E-Mail Icon
                   DO NOT click on the Yahoo Mail Icon during the E-Mail Account Set-up portion of the Set-Up Wizard!!!
             Instead click on the Other E-Mail Icon and enter your Yahoo E-Mail accounts there – this will assure that the Yahoo E-Mail accounts will
                   sync and update as they should AND be accessible by just clicking on the E-Mail Icon on your screen.
    To Restore your data from the Old Phone to the New Phone After the Set-Up Wizard is completed:
    Make sure you have the External SD card from your old phone installed in your new phone
    Go to the Play Store and install Verizon Messages
    Open the Verizon Messages program and click on Restore – IF YOU SEE 2 SD CARDS LISTED (ON MINE IT LISTED ExtSDCard and SDCARD0) you will have to copy EVERYTHING from the ExtSDCard to the SDCard0. Next Click on Restore again and ALL Text,
    Picture and Video messages will be restored to your New Phone.
    I HOPE THIS SAVES YOU ALOT OF AGGRAVATION AND FRUSTRATION WITH YOUR NEW GALAZY S III

    What type of mail account is it?
    POP, IMAP, etc?
    When you got your new phone did you put on a backup of your old phone?
    If POP, well POP works by keeping track of what it has downloaded or not. So if it got info from your last phone when you synced your new one, then it knows it already downloaded them, thus won't download them again (just how POP works).

  • When I open up a new mail in Yahoo! Mail, email addresses from previous mails stay on screen and block the "copy to" bar. How do I get rid of this?

    When you are typing the addresses into a Yahoo! Mail, the browser helps you by suggesting people from your address book in a drop down box.
    But when I've finsihed that mail and open up a new one, old addresses remain on screen and block the "copy to" box. You can't click on them or zap them, they are just fixed on screen.
    Have had this probelm for a long time, through many Firefox updates and also having moved to a new Mac.

    Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

  • Attachments "removed" before email is received Treo 700wx Verizon/Yahoo! mail

    I have a Treo 700wx and use Verizon with Yahoo premium mail service. I can send and receive emails but any attachments on incoming mail is "removed" before I receive it. I actually have a message at the bottom of my email that tells me attachments have been removed! Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Is it an option I need to change on my Treo software or what? I receive the attachments fine on my desktop when logged in to my Yahoo account. And I called Yahoo and they verified that their ssytem is working properly.
    Post relates to: Treo 700wx (Verizon)

    Yes, my email is retreived automatically and wireless without connecting to my desktop.

  • Yahoo! Mail glitches with Lion mail client and Address Book app

    I had really been looking forward to using my Yahoo! mail account in the Lion mail client but now that it is here and I have set it up and used it for a few days I am noticing the following issues:
    New mail is not always received or is received late. Yahoo! Webmail portal shows new items but these sometimes do not appear in Lion mail client even after a manual 'get mail' check.
    Mail marked as read in Yahoo! Webmail portal or in mail clients in iOS devices such as iPhone or iPad is not marked as read in Lion mail client, however the reverse does work (i.e. mail marked as read in Lion mail client does mark the message as read in webmail and in clients on iOS devices).
    Yahoo! Aliases are not supported. Yes, you can add aliases by inserting the other email addresses in the 'Email Address' field of the account settings, but you cannot add more than one display name.
    I have also found that if you turn on Yahoo! contacts via the tick-box in the new 'Mail, Contacts & Calendars' pref pane in System Preferences that I end up with random duplicated contacts. These duplicates are not seen on iOS devices, just in the Address Book app. If you delete a duplicate contact, it deletes the contact altogether. However, I have found that if you keep contacts unticked in the pref pane and add your Yahoo! account the old-fashioned way (i.e. via the Address Book app's own preferences) then the contacts sync through perfectly with no duplications.
    I would be interested to know if anybody else is experiencing these issues. It may be worth noting that mine is not a @yahoo.com address but @xtra.co.nz which belongs to my ISP here in New Zealand, but the mail is managed by Yahoo!. The account works perfectly as a Yahoo! account on iOS devices and does appear to be working in Lion, except for these small glitches but I don't imagine these are specific to @xtra.co.nz addresses.
    Thanks
    Steve

    i've had the same experience here.
    essentially it seems like lion mail.app just takes an incredibly long time to pickup new changes from the IMAP server at yahoo.
    ios and webmail are obviously much quicker.
    if it is working on ios, why does is it so delayed in mail?
    any solutions out there?
