Yahoo mail says I've got 6 new emails when I haven't

Hi, on my mail icon on my iPhone screen it always has the number 6 in a little red circle but I've got no new emails in there so why does it continuously say I do??
I've got Yahoo mail on my phone.

saddact,
Yahoo is set up as IMAP on the iPhone, so what the iPhone sees should be what you see if you sign into webmail. If you sign into Yahoo webmail, are there any new messages?
Do you have any other email accounts set up on the iPhone? If so, that could be why it's showing new messages.
If Yahoo is your only email account set up, you may want to delete and re-add the Yahoo account. You can go into Settings > Mail > Tap on your Yahoo account > Delete account. Then Add Account and set up your Yahoo account again.
Hope this helps,
Jennifer B.

My inbox says that I have 2 new emails when I do not have any

When i look at my main screen my email says that it has 2 new notifications however when I open up my email it is empty what do i do to get rid of the 2 notifications

You can only deauthorize all your itunes computers once a year, so I would avoid clicking that at the moment. Log onto the 2nd user, and open itunes. Go to Store> Authorize This computer.
As an alternative, you could point the 2nd user itunes library to the primary itunes folder. So both users would use the same itunes folder. You can do this by holding shift, clicking itunes icon. There should be an option to browse for an existing library. Locate the main computers itunes folder. (Most likely under: C:\Users\*Account name*\Music where *Account name* would be your main user accounts name.
Good luck!

I just got my new mac, when i try to import music files or even import a CD, it says "Error, a file was specified instead of a folder". What do I do

I just got my new mac, when i try to import music files or even import a CD, it says "Error, a file was specified instead of a folder". What do I do, It is very frustrating i have all my music from my old PC and a bunch of CD's i cannot import.

I haven't encountered this error, but let's try to figure out a solution.
CDs. Let's tackle this.
First, read this:
http://www.woopid.com/video/626/iTunes-Setup-Assistant
As soon as you insert a CD (assumng you have a drive), iTunes should immediately open and ask if you want to add this to your Library. Say "Yes." (You haven't set the quality levels yet, but we want to set up your library, first.)
Music. If you have individual tracks you want to import, keep iTunes open, and simply drop the tracks in the "Songs" part of the Library on the left side of the screen. The tracks should be added automatically.
If this isn't working for you, please describe the error -- or better yet, provide screenshots. I'm certain you will be able to set up your iTunes library pretty quickly.

I GOT A NEW EMAIL BUT OLD EMAIL KEEPS COMING UP WHEN I GO TO GET AN APP BUT WHEN I GO TO CHANGE

Hi jackburkholder,
You will need to delete the iCloud account with your old ID, but before you can do that, you will have to go back into Manage Your Apple ID, and change your Apple ID back to the old address. Don't worry about verifying it, you just need to change it.
Then, go into Settings>iCloud and turn off Find My iPhone (it will ask you for a password - put in your current one to turn it off). Then, scroll down to the bottom of the screen and Delete the iCloud account using your current password.
Also go into Settings>iTunes & App Store, clidk on your old ID and sign out of iTunes.
Then go back to Manage Your Apple ID and put your new Apple ID back in.
Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with your new Apple/iCloud/iTunes ID.
Go back into Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign on with your new Apple/iCloud/iTunes ID.
Cheers,
GB

When using Yahoo mail my contacts are there one minute and when you click on the they all go away and it says you have no contact

The TO box used to auto fill when I started typing if an address was in my Contact list. The + at the end of the area for an email address says I have no Contacts
With Firefox, Yahoo Mail works normally except for contacts, when I click "Contacts" I get a screen with no names listed. If I start a new eMail and click "To" the listing appears as normal.
When I launch Yahoo Mail from Internet Explorer, the "Contacts" tab works normally.

Trying to get yahoo mail, says turn off Private Browsing, go to Safari, Private Browsing, turn off. But Private Browsing is not there

I am trying to get to my Yahoo mail and ipad is telling me to turn off Private Browsing, I go to Safari, Private Browsing to turn it off and I cant get to Private Browsing

Tap "Private" on Safari Screen to disable Private Browsing. When top of screen is white, Private Browsing is off.

Yahoo mail keeps making sign in over & over & over, when trying to send a mssg, read a mssg,etc. Yahoo says it's a firefox issue. How do I fix this? Thanks!

Yahoo mail replied this is a firefox issue. It will not let me stay logged in & makes me re-login repeatedly. Thanks.

This can be caused by the connection settings having the default setting.
Try to select the "No Proxy" setting instead of the default "Use the system proxy settings" setting.

Yahoo mail will not accept password on new iphone 5

Yahoo mail will not accept my password and load e-mails. What to do?

I e-mailed Yahoo for help with Yahoo mail and was given the following instructions: Remove Yahoo account from your iPhone, turn the phone off and back on, and then re-add to trigger a re-sync on your Yahoo acccount. This worked with no problem!! I was also given a link for a Yahoo Help article which I have included below. For those of you who are having issues, I hope this solves them!

Have Yahoo Mail Plus, which does not allow ads. When on my work computer and log into my Yahoo account, ads do appear?? This does not happen on Explorer. Help

Have a Yahoo Mail Plus account, which does not allow for ads. It works fine on Explorer, but when used on Firefox the same ads always appear both at the top and left margins "Dr. Oz New Weight Loss Secret". Yahoo says it is a Firefox issue. Please help.

another thing you can try is to [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]].
in case there are still adverts shown in places where they aren't supposed to be afterwards, it sounds like an issue with malware on the system. please run a full scan of your pc with the security software already in place and different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx microsoft safety scanner] or [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan].

I have owned my MacBook Pro for several months. Initially, I did not have any problems. Now I have a problem with Yahoo Mail. I can open my account, but when I try to get at my mail, 2 out of 3 times I get the spinning ball that never stops. Now what?

I have owned my MacBook Pro for several months without having any problems with it. Recently I am having trouble with my Yahoo Mail. I can open it fine, but 2 out of 3 times when I try to actually open a message, the spinning ball comes on the screen and does not stop. Sometimes, I can log out or force quit and come back in to my account and use it. Other times, I run into the same problem. Any suggestions?

My new yahoo account nestles comfortably in iCloud on the mine iPad.
No, your Yahoo account is not in iCloud (which only handles iCloud mail), it is in Yahoo, and the Yahoo mail account is on your iPad.
But the MacBook Pro will have none of it! I write this question now as I fear that I will be totally demented very soon and unable to formulate my thoughts clearly!
Get the correct settings for your account from Yahoo and set it up manually.
By the way, I also find the "password" issue problematical. It seems Apple want my Apple password rather than my eMail password. All very confusing.
That would depend on what you are trying to do.

How can I get my yahoo mail back? I just get error 404 when I try to open my mail when I am on Firefox.

The only thing I can add to this question is that I can get on my yahoo mail through internet explorer

Set Yahoo as you home page, and set firefox to open the homepage when it starts. (Not to open previous pages).
* see [[how to set the home page]] for detailed instructions <br/> all you need to do is drag the icon whilst you are on the page you require
* see also [[options window - General panel]]

Mail app not working with iCloud, new emails and recently sent not showing at all in the app.

I've been using the iCloud mail for quite some time now

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!
