Yahoo Mail: New Inbox Messages Are Not Downloaded To iPhone

Keywords: iPhone, Yahoo, mail, push, slow, broken, stopped, inbox, new messages, IMAP
Problem Description:
I just went through an entire day of restarting, restoring, reconfiguring my iPhone after the Mail App stopped downloading new messages from my Yahoo Inbox. Other folders could receive new messages, but not the Inbox.
After trying to get help from Apple support and Yahoo, I kept searching online. I managed to find a solution that worked and I thought I'd share this here in case anyone else has run into this problem, which I believe is a Yahoo issue, not an Apple one.
Solution:
From a web browser do the following
- Log into your Yahoo Mail account via mail.yahoo.com
- Create a new folder in Yahoo Mail (I called it "Archive")
- Move ALL MESSAGES from your Inbox to this new folder ("Archive" in my case)
- Send yourself a test message
After performing these steps (essentially archiving your Inbox to another folder), you should start receiving Yahoo Inbox messages again on your iPhone. After I performed the above procedure, Yahoo Mail has been more responsive than ever before on the iPhone - even faster than my old BlackBerry...
It seems as though the Yahoo IMAP server gets really slow or malfunctions when either there is a corrupt message or the Inbox gets too large (not sure which). It would be really cool if someone from Yahoo (or Apple) could confirm this.
I'd be interested to see if anyone else has run into this issue and if this procedure solves the issue for you... I know for me, I will be periodically Archiving my Inbox to another folder to keep things operating smoothly.
Good Luck!

Hmm.. this seems to work..
I emptied both "Spam" and "Trash" folder on a browser. After that, new emails seem to push to iPhone right away now. Let's see how long this will last..
Does that mean that I would have to make sure there's no email in these two folders to make push work at all time?

  • SMS messages are not saved on iphone on ios 7.0.4

    After updating  iPhone 4S to ios 7.0.4  it was a week before I realized that there was a problem with sending and receiving messages. They appeared to be hanging at about 90% when sending and would stay as "sending" even when delivered (to  the other iphone I have). An incoming SMS wouldn't open, i.e., showed no content. Tried all the suggestions re resetting network settings, etc etc etc but nothing worked. I have done a complete restore of the ios and I have sent and received a SMS successfully but they are not being saved. Sent message has disappeared and incoming message is read but isn't there later, just disappears. Vanishes. I like to keep some messages to refer back to sometimes while others I am happy to delete almost immediately.
    Is this a problem or is it a "feature" of ios 7?

    Hi,
    So you are unable to access Notification Centre and Control Centre from all screens including the home screen?
    You can try activating AssistiveTouch by "Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch > AssistiveTouch: ON".
    In some cases activating this feature has known to fix this issue (whilst the feature is active). I cannot think of any other immediate fixes. Hopefully Apple will address this issue soon in a forthcoming update to iOS 7.
    Hope this solves your issue!

  • AOL and mail some sent messages are not saved

    I have been having a problem with sent messages using mac mail and my aol account. Occasionally the message will get hung up and will take a long time to send. The send progress bar fills up and the message is eventually sent, but it is not copies to my sent folder. This happens for about one out of every ten emails that I send.

    Hello p:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    That is, I am relatively sure, an AOL server problem (happens to me occasionally).
    You might try Open DNS (the free one) to see if it will address other possible problems.

  • Current comcast emails are not downloading to iphone and ipad

    My IPhone and IPad stopped receiving new comcast emails a few days ago. I deleted the account and added comcast mail again but it only downloads old emails.  Comcast not helpful and said its an issue with Apple. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi ...
    Try resetting the devices.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that didn't help, test on one of the devices.
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    If helped on one device, do the same for the other.

  • After downloading IOS 8.0.2 on my iPhone 5, my email messages are not automatically coming through.  I have to open my mailbox and wait for messages to download.  Do I need to reset or change settings for mail?  Please help.

    After downloading IOS 8.0.2 on my iPhone 5, my email messages are not coming through automatically. Before, my email messages would come through automatically and my iPhone would alert me each time an emial message was recevied.   I now have to open my mail in-box and wait for my email messages to download.  Do I need to reset or change my mail settings?  This issue is delaying my abiliy to receive and respond to email messages in a timely manner.
    Please Help.

    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.

  • Mail 3, smtp, IMAP: sent messages are not saved on server

    Hello,
    I had problems using Mail 3 after I upgraded to Leopard, so I used Thunderbird for the time being. With the update 10.5.1 I tried again: most problems solved BUT: sent messages are not saved on the server in mailbox "Sent".
    Some background: I deleted the folder "<User>/Library/Mail" and "<User>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist" and configured Mail from scratch.
    To be sure: I still have Thunderbird installed, and when I send with Thunderbird: a copy is placed in "Sent".
    Another thing I noticed: it takes more than a minute to send from Mail 3 and a few seconds when I send from Thunderbird. I have another Macbook Pro with 10.5.0 installed: same problem with sending.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Well, be stumped I did all that, but to be sure, I did it again:
    I have a lot folders with subfolders and they are shown under my account name.
    I created a new folder "test" in my IMAP account and designated it to be the new "Sent" folder. It replaces my previous Sent folder in the group Inbox, Drafts, Trash. My previous Sent folder now appears under my account name as a "normal" folder.
    I send a message and the Activity monitor says: +"Delivering message: copying message"+. After a minute Mail is done. I check my (new) "Sent" folder and it's empty. I double check in webmail: it's empty.
    So I go to the Finder and look in my IMAP folder: <user>/Library/Mail/<IMAP-account>/test.imapmbox and there is no folder "Messages", only Info.plist.
    Then I try to move a message to the "Sent' folder: for a minute the Activity moinor says: Copying messages: copying message" and then Mail prompts: +"The message "testing" could not be+
    +The connection to the server mail.hicetnunc.nl on port 143 timed out"+.
    So it looks like Mail has a problem with the default "Sent" folder: it cannot copy messages to that folder at all! Aha!
    But then I try to move a message to a "normal" IMAP folder: same thing! Mail cannot copy to any folder!
    In both instances Mail says: +"The message "..." could not be be moved to the mailbox "..."+
    +The connection to the server mail.hicetnunc.nl on port 143 timed out"+
    Last thing: I try to move a message to a folder in the same account again. But in the process I quit Mail. I open Mail again and Mail is performing pending operations: copying message. After a while Mail prompts: +"Operation could not be completed. (MFMessageErrorDomain error 1028.)"+ and crashes... I open Mail again and it tries to peform pending operations. Again: an error message and Mail crashes. This keeps going on so I delete the whole account and set it up again. Nothing's changed...
    I can receive and send, but sent messages are not copied to the "Sent" folder and I cannot move messages around within a IMAP account. But TADA!!!: I can move messages from account to account.

  • Inbox messages do not appear yet are loading

    I have IMAP mail. My messages are loading, ie: I have 20 unread messages, however non can be viewed in inbox. Please help! I think I did this while I was reorganizing some of my other mailboxes.
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   1.8GHz power PC G5

    OK. I don’t know what happened here, but it looks like deleting the account and setting it up again may be necessary. Note that the procedure I’m going to describe is safe because this is an IMAP account (i.e. not POP) and I’m telling you to make a backup copy of your Mail folder first, just in case. It could lead to irretrievable data loss otherwise.
    1. Quit Mail.
    2. Make a backup copy of ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist and the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong while trying to solve the problem. You can do this in the Finder by dragging them to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. The former is is where all your account settings are stored, the latter where all your mail is locally stored.
    3. Open Mail, go to Preferences > Accounts, and take note of the account settings.
    4. With the IMAP account selected, click on the [-] button to delete the account, then on the [+] button to set it up again.

  • Why does my mail say this message has not been downloaded by the server

    Suddenly the majority of my MSN emails say they are not downloaded by the server on my ipad.  I didn't have this problem before. I have tried rebooting my ipad and also restarting my email but nothing helps.

    Hotmail (Outlook) is down for many users today:
    https://status.live.com/
    http://downrightnow.com/hotmail
    Try accessing Hotmail/Outlook from your Safari browser, rather than the Mail app.

  • Lion Mail creates a new folder in Yahoo Mail called "Sent Messages"

    For some reason, since updating to 10.7.5, Mail no longer puts sent messages into the proper "Sent" folder of my Yahoo accounts. It creates a new folder in Yahoo Mail called "Sent Messages" and stores them there. This new folder is only visible from iOS devices' Mail or by logging into Yahoo through a web browser. Lion Mail doesn't sync this new folder, for whatever reason.
    Just curious if anyone else is experiencing this or has found a fix.

    Okay, thanks to nobody for their help.  But I figured it out anyway.  Somehow there was a rule which had the "if-then" result of "move to (my wife's name) mailbox" -- so when such an email arrived, Mail would have to create the (previously-deleted) mailbox in order to follow the rule.  So I just deleted that rule.
