Yahoo mail sort order in inbox

Hi all,
My problem initially started with the push function for yahoo mail not working. The additional problem that I now have is that the emails in my inbox as well as sent items are not appearing in the right sort order (most recent to oldest). The inbox and the sent box both are showing the last 50 emails first.
Any suggestions.
Thanks

Sorry for the double-post here, but after reading the fix suggested at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3066818&#3066818 more carefully, my problem is resolved.
As it turns out, you have to choose the group in Address Book, then select all the names, then drag all the selected names to the Pages doc for the mail merge to sort in alpha order.
Part of the problem I was experiencing has to do with the click-and-drag lag in Address Book. If you select all the entries, then click-and-drag quickly toward Pages, the list will deselect all but the first entry.
Instead, you have to click-and-hold-and-drag-very-slowly out of the Address Book window. I'm not sure why, but when I attempted (and repeated) the process, that's what I found.
I hope my error helps another.
I'm having a problem similar to other Pages + Address
Book users. When I select an Address Book group
(about 140 addresses) to merge into Pages, they come
up in a seemingly random order.
In Address Book, the contacts are listed by Surname
(Last Name). In the Pages document, I am only
inserting the First Name field, but I would expect
them to merge in alpha order, as they are in Address
Book.
Alas, that is not the case.
The fix suggested at
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=306
6818&#3066818 did not solve my problem. I have tried
dragging and dropping the group into the Pages master
document -- it simply comes up with a different,
random sort order.
Has anyone else faced the sort order problem from
Address Book into Pages successfully? Any help would
be welcome.

Mail sort order (time) will not remember my preferences

Hi, I have to reinstall my system from a crash, I copied most files from my backup. After that, I noticed that my mail in the new reinstalled system behaved funny.
It works properly when you quit Mail and restart the application, however, if left alone for a while, say after sleep or working for more than an hour or so, my sort order will be cancelled.
My sort order is by time, where the latest mails are at the bottom, but when I select a different mailbox and return to the previous mailbox, the sort order will always revert to the latest mail on top. There's nothing I can do to make the application stay with latest dates on the bottom. Please help.

Thanks for your help. What I did is to use time machine and got an old backup of this mail preference file. But that does not seem to work. I did it this way, so I don't have to reestablish my 6 e-mail accounts.
Does that mean the problem is not in the preference file?
yes, unless you restored from some time point when the problem already existed it does mean that it's not the preference file. did you quit Mail before restring the file?

Mail Sort Order and Logitech Control Center 3.1

LCC Scroll Enhancer Loader.osax is a Scripting Addition in /library/scriptingadditions that reproducibly causes the sort order in Mail to revert to Date Received/Newest on Top. With LCC Scroll Enhancer Loader.osax in the Scripting Additions folder, you can change the sort order for a folder, but when you click on another folder and return to the original, the sort order reverts to Date Received/Newest on Top.
Removing LCC Scroll Enhancer Loader.osax and restarting Mail remedies this problem.
Can anyone else confirm this occurs in their system as well (10.6.1)?

I upgraded to Snow Leopard (10.6.2) from 10.5 yesterday and noticed this Mail sort problem straight away. Concurrently I upgraded to Default Folder 4.3.3 and LCC 3.1. Following the advice of you guys, I've excluded Mail.app in System Prefs/Default Folder/Settings/Advanced and lo and behold date sort is working normally again.
I mean, I've spent 15 years having most recent at the bottom and it's very wrong to have it at the top!

Screwed up mail sorting order on N8

Hi,
I'm experiencing strange behaviour with my N8's mail client (Anna 25.007) and my ovi-adress:
When I open mail via web-interface the order is sorted by date - everything OK (see mail_web.jpg).
In my N8's mail client the sorting order seems screwed up since only the very recent mail by beta labs is on top and otherwise I see mails from far earlier (see N8.jpg).
I've tried to delete and re-install the mail account on my N8 several times but the order remains the same.
Any clues how to solve this?
Thx

Yahoo mail not removed from inbox ios7

I have an iPhone 4s with ios 7.0.2. I have 2 different yahoo accounts that are showing the same issue. If I delete or move an email from my yahoo inbox on my PC either via web or mail client, they still show in the inbox on my iPhone. Even if I manually update the accounts (swipe down) they still are there. I have tried waiting 10-15 minutes with the same result. If I use the task manager to close mail and then re start it, they immediately are removed from the inbox. Has anyone else noticed this issue?

Check whether the same happens if Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Remove copy from server is OFF, i.e. if messages aren’t supposed to be removed from the server at all. I’ve seen it reported in other cases that messages were removed from the server even with that setting OFF, but it ended up being a server issue that happened when using other mail clients as well — and IIRC it also was a Yahoo account...
Try disabling the account in Mail (i.e. turn OFF Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Enable this account), or just don’t run Mail at all, set up the account in another mail client such as Thunderbird, and see what happens.
If you set up the account in Thunderbird, refuse to download anything when asked to do so immediately afterwards (so that you can customize the server settings first), then in the account’s Server Settings turn ON Leave messages on server if you don’t want the messages to be removed from the server as a result of downloading them with Thunderbird. If messages that you would like to have in Mail end up being removed from the server nevertheless, you may use Eudora Mailbox Cleaner to import them from Thunderbird into Mail.

How can I check off multiple boxes in my inbox of Yahoo mail?

How can I check off multiple boxes in my inbox of Yahoo mail? I think I've tried every possible keystroke combination. Using MacBook Pro OS10.8.2

I'm trying to select a lot of emails to delete, not all of them and not necessarily all in order. On my older mac I think it was shift click on any of the check boxes I was going to delete. So far I haven't found any combination that works. I did try control click and option click.

N95 8GB inbox mess! sort/order sms by date!!

Why do ew sms messages I recieve on my N95 8GB suddenly appear in a randon spot (i.e. not at the bginning or end of the inbox list) even though I tried more than once to do "Sort by: Date"!!?

I have an N95 and installed firmware 31.0.17 in February 2009. It is still the latest version in August. The phone was OK for about 3 months, until I returned from a holiday overseas. Since then it has occasionally got confused about the date, even though I have network time updates always turned off. The phone usually decides it is several days in the future and so my calenday goes crazy. I change the date manually, then it works fine until a few days later, when it suddenly loses several days again. When I correct the date this second time, the phone usually runs OK for a month or more.
I cannot sort my messaging inbox or sent folder properly - by date, name or subject. They appear to be ordered randomly. I wondered whether this date scrambling problem is corrupting the file system timestamps of some of my sms entries....
... however, when I connect the client to my IMAP mail server (which provides sensible dates), the phone fails to present my email folder contents in the right order too!
Why hasn't someone from Nokia support responded to this thread? This problem has existed for about a year and persisted through more than one firmware version?

When I open a slde show in New Yahoo Mail I can't get back to Yahoo. When I click on the "back to Yahoo" button, the screen freezes with a gray cast over it and I have to use the back button and forward button to get back to my inbox.

This problem started immediately after I upgraded to Firefox 9.0.1
If I open my inbox in my New Yahoo Mail, then open an email with attachments and then open the attachments to "view as a slide show"....I can't close the slide show and return to the email by clicking on the "return to Yahoo" button. If you click on it, it returns to the first pic shown, and if you click on it again, the pics disappear and a gray haze appears over most of the screen but none of the features under the gray screen work. I have found that if I hit the back page and then forward page buttons, I can get back to my inbox eventually, but this is a terrible "pain in the ass"!

In att yahoo mail my left column with the inbox ,etc extends the width of page and I can't bring it back to the left.

in the new version of att yahoo mail that I have been using for weeks for some reason the left column which shows inbox etc extends the width of a page and I am not able to see the emails.

How long is "a long time" ... hours? days? weeks?
Since you are using Yahoo mail, and having the same problem on more-than-one computer... the 'error code 7' is very likely to be a Yahoo-generated message, not related to your browser.
(I suggest this because I have seen similar messages many times from Yahoo in the past two months... although typically error code 4 or 14, rather than 7... and "We're working on it" is, literally, one of Yahoo's standard responses. Several times, Yahoo blamed network issues, including a severed underwater cable, for the problem; I have not experienced the issue for a few weeks now.)

I have gone to settings but you cannot turn off the private browsing anywhere
can someone help,us out?
thanks

You turn private browsing off on the Safari page. Tap the + sign in the upper right corner, then tap private in the lower left corner. You know you're in private when the top of the screen is dark.

When I try to open my Yahoo mail in safari, I get a message which states:" In order to use Yahoo mail, please turn Private Browsing off. Please go to Settings Safari Private Browsing, and turn off" The problem is my ipad does not a Private Browsing switch

When I try to open my Yahoo mail in safari, I get a message which states:" In order to use Yahoo mail, please turn Private Browsing off. Please go to Settings>Safari>Private Browsing, and turn off" The problem is, my ipad does not a Private Browsing switchat this location.

With iOS 7 on the iPad, you turn Private Browsing on and off by tapping the URL field. The screen that opens up has your bookmarks on it. In the bottom left corner is a hot button marked 'PRIVATE'. Tap on the word 'PRIVATE' to turn private browsing on or off. Yeah, there aren't any instructions anywhere that I can find to do this, and if you follow Yahoo's instructions, they don't work. This doesn't happen with the previous Apple OS, and you can restore your iPad to the older OS.

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?

Font size in yahoo mail has suddenly shrunk, not the emails but inbox list etc. Only in Firefox, not Safari etc. How can I correct this

When I opened Yahoo mail from Firefox the font size suddenly shrunk and I can hardly read it. Font size in emails not affected. Inbox, sent list etc are all much smaller.
No problem when using Safari.
I note from internet forums that others have had this problem.

I have same problem like you!
This problem comes from suck Hardware accelerate of Firefox5.0
Let's turn off Hardware accelerate in browser
Option>Advanced> Tab General> Unchecked use hardware accelerate when available>OK
After that closing Firefox
That is!

You turn private browsing off on the Safari page. Tap the + sign in the upper right corner, then tap private in the lower left corner. You know you're in private when the top of the screen is dark.
