Yahoo! mail same on iPhone as in Mail client?

Hi There,
I have a lot of mailing lists that I subscribe to, so in order to get my mail filtered into folders on my iPhone, I had to set up filters on the Yahoo page (this is an old swbell.net account, the old, old Att). So when I get mail via the built in Yahoo settings (imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com), I get everything filtered out and in the appropriate folders on the iPhone.
However, now that I've filtered things on the server side, I can't get Mail to recognize this (it's still POP). So now I only have mail on the iPhone, not on the computer. I tried to set Mail up to use imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com but that didn't work. Any ideas about how to get my server-side filtered mail on both my desktop and my iPhone?
This is pretty frustrating, I'd rather they put rule support into the iPhone's mail client.
Thanks,
troy

Any ideas about how to get my server-side filtered mail on both my desktop and my iPhone?
You can't - not with a free Yahoo IMAP account which can be accessed via the Push protocol or standard IMAP with the iPhone's email client only since it is free.
If you want to access the account with an email client on your computer as well as with the iPhone's email client, you need to continue accessing the account as a POP account with both.

Cannot send email from yahoo mail client

I cannot open or send or attach anything to my email in the yahoo mail. I know there's nothing wrong with the email because it works on my laptop, just not on my computer. Could there be a setting problem, or a cookie problem or something?
I also cannot open Bonjour to see my printer settings. Everything was working fine yesterday.

outgoing mail server
SMTP - Yahoo! SMTP Server
primary server
Yahoo! SMTP server - ON
server port 465
That's what I have for my yahoo account.

Question related to Yahoo Mail

Hi everyone,
I would be surprised if there is anyone here who hasn't seen Yahoo mail, so I am posting my question here.
But, anyways, for those who hasn't, I wanna brush up the basics before I ask the question. Yahoo mail supports a feature, which I am not able to comprehend. While viewing a message, there is a link that says "Mark as Unread" and when U click on it, the message is marked as new immediately.
Now, here comes my question : I have used Javamail quite a bit, to the best of my knowledge, a Folder's new messages are the ones whose RECENT flag returns true. And the RECENT flag is set to false once the message content has been sent to the client in some form or the other. It is clearly specified in the JavaMail API(link pasted below) that this flag CANNOT be altered by the client.
http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/1.3/docs/javadocs/javax/mail/Flags.Flag.html#RECENT
So, How does this Yahoo Mail client achieve this feature? Is there a workaround for this?
Any ideas? Any responses are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
-Uday

A "new" message is one that hasn't been read so it does not have the SEEN flag. You may be confused because of your mail cleint. Clients often keep a read/not read list on the local file system so it may be circumventing your flag manipulation. You gotta remember, with the exception of the DELETED flag, the flags have no real meaning unless the client wants to interpert them to have meaning.
Here's a quick rundown:
A RECENT message is one that has arrive since the last time a user checked their mail.
A SEEN message is one that one that has been "read" by the user.
A ANSWERED message is one that has been replied to.
A DELETED message will be removed next time a folder is expunged.
A FLAGGED message is the semi-common "flag for follow up".
A DRAFT message is just that I guess, I've never used the flag.
Then if the server supports it there are "user" defined flags. I've seen flags similar to Forwarded, NotJunk,

When i added my yahoo mail account in my iphone 4 ,it synced all the mail folders with its emails .BUT this didn't happen when i did the same in my macbook pro ?

Hi,
I think iphone 4 deals with mail account in an impressive way unlike the macbook pro. Because my yahoo mail account had been synced completely with all its emails and folders on the iphone 4.
BUT with Macbook pro, nothing happened even it told me that please make sure of your password. N.B. I know my password....
My question is can I have all my emails synced in my new macbook pro with all its folders. ?
Thanks,
Ahmad.

Thanks, You know..... it happened with me once before when I first use the windows live mail client.... I contacted yahoo staff and they replied with the same as you replied......( I thought that there is way to do what I wanted )...
By the way they advised me, if I wanted to get my folders .... I have to MOVE messages from specific folder to INBOX then SYNC imail then CREATE folder in imail with the same name as in my yahoo and so on !!!!
OK, if there are ways to sync the WINDOWS LIVE MAIL accounts and its folders, it will be great..... Does anyone know HOW TO ?

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.
iphone 4S, IOS 5, Verizon.

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.

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.

I can't access Yahoo mail on my iphone 6

I can't access my yahoo email account on my iphone 6. I think it happened since I updated to IOS 8.2. I have the account loaded and it looks fine, but it doesn't download anything to my phone. Along the way I've lost calendar info, my notes, and other things I need!
Help!
Thanks in advance!

Trouble with yahoo mail "pushing" to iphone 4s

Has anyone else had problems with their yahoo mail account "pushing" to their iphone 4s? This problem has been happening off and on for about 2 months now. Had an appointment with the genius bar at apple, tech wiped out the phone and told me to restore at home. Said it should fix the problem which it did for about a week. She said if it started happening again, it was probably the phone. Went back last week and upgraded to 4s. Mail worked for about 3 hours - hasn't worked since. Tried deleting the account, restarting iphone, deleted majority of emails from inbox/trash/sent. Nothing has worked. It won't even fetch at the established times (15, 30, 1 hour). Contacted yahoo mail also who said they had been advised on the problem and are "working on it" Anyone have any experience with this? Any help welcomed!

I have the same issue iphone 4s with iOS 5.0.1.
There is another thread here - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3378671?start=75&tstart=0. Seems like quite a few others have the same issue. I also read in this or another forum that the push can be easily restarted by opening up the multitask bar (double click) and then close the mail app and then restart it. You can also do power down the phone and then start it up. Apparently the mail app needs to be running in the background. It seems that swithcing between wifi and 3G or a screen lock may have something to do with it (but I can't confirm this).
Nice to know Yahoo is working on it.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Yahoo Mail on iphone problem

I do have yahoo mail on my iphone for a while and it was working perfect.
Few days ago I got:
Cannot Get Mail The user name or password for "[email protected]" is incorrect.
I do not have any problem when I login from my PC with same User name and password.
When I try to set up my email from I phone again. Here is what I got:
Cannot Get Mail The user name or password for “imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com” is incorrect.
I can make all my friends’ yahoo mail work on my I phone but only the one mail account used to be working fine does not working now.
Can someone help me?

I've had Yahoo Mail Plus for over 5 years without any problems (Yahoo Mail "Plus" means you pay $20/yr to get POP mail access using a standard mail clients). But since I got my iPhone 3GS, I've been having frequent problems accessing Yahoo Mail from my Mac Mail client, via web browser, etc.. My iPhone replaced a Treo 700p, and I used to have no problems, even with two Mac Mail clients and the Treo accessing my POP mail every 5 minutes. Now, since my frequent problems started, I've cut way back on the POP access on all my mail clients (which Yahoo Support told me to do), but the problem persists.
QUESTION: Do you guys with problems have the standard (free) Yahoo Mail, or Mail Plus with POP access?
THEORY: When I got my new 3GS, it automatically imported the mail settings from my Mac Mail client. However, instead of keeping my POP settings for Yahoo Mail, it changed the setting to the Push/IMAP for my iPhone. The Push settings would be great for most people, but not so much for people with Mail Plus who access mail with POP settings. The problem is, when an email client accesses POP mail, it tells the IMAP mail client that all email has been read (when it's simply been downloaded). I think Apple should not, by default, import Yahoo Mail settings which are set to POP, and then change the settings to IMAP on the iPhone -- at least ask the user before making this change. Anyway, my uneducated theory is that the simultaneous IMAP and POP access to my Yahoo Mail Plus account screwed something up, and now I keep having problems accessing mail. I've since deleted the default Push Yahoo Mail account from my iPhone, and set it up from scratch as a POP account. But my mail problems persist.
Also note that, a detailed debug message I get sometimes (usually with error code 5, though once with error code 20) always list the same date/time, which is really close to when I got my iPhone, and also when my problems started. In my mind, that supports my theory. I've been waiting for Yahoo Support to address this detailed debug report, but they keep on giving vague responses (basically telling me over and over that my issues are due to accessing my mail too frequently).
Here's the error code details I've received when trying to access my Yahoo Mail via web browser (note the date in line 3):
Error #5:
0: ListMessagesFromIds
1: SOAP-ENV:Server.MailboxOpenFailed.Busy
2: Error opening mailbox: mailbox busy
3: V2.1.0 B1357.22 06/18/2009 07:28 AM
4: cg1.c701.mail.mud.yahoo.com
