Yahoo mail will not delete

hi. at first, i thought i might have had a problem with the current version of firefox i had. So....i uninstalled firefox and cleaned up my system. i then proceeded to re-install firefox to the most current version which i believe is 5. so...my problem??? i seem to have trouble when using yahoo mail. for some reason...when i try to delete several emails at once by checking off the boxes next to the emails it cant be completed. sort of like the action is not able to be processed. then....if i try to go back into other aspects of yahoo mail....that will not work either so I just end up shutting down firefox all together. funny...this is the first time i have ever had a problem with firefox. i can tell you this. the computer i am using is for the most part new and i do have a good deal of knowledge of how computers work and what to do verses what you probably should not do with them. my computer is well protected with the most widely used anti virus ( AVAST ) and i am not using any fire walls. what on earth could be going on that would cause yahoo mail to crash? thanks to all whom try to help me. oh..one more thing...i checked on my other internet portals to see if this same problem occurred there and that was not the case. the problem is only present when using firefox. hope some one can explain this phenomenon....err...problem.
thanks for your time and expertise. Ryan from long island NY

HT1338 My mail will not delete. When I move it to trash and then delete it within a few minutes it has all bounced back in again. Checked my preference settings and all seems to be in order. Any ideas how to resolve this frustrating problem?

That sounds like a compatibility issue with an add-on that you have installed, as reported by a number of users in both Firefox 22 and Firefox 23 over the last couple of months. If you would provide a listing of your installed extensions ''(as you were prompted to do when creating this thread)'' maybe one of us can advise you which extension is the mot likely culprit. You will need to re-install Firefox 23 to do further diagnostic testing.
As far as the compatibility of Firefox 23 and Win XP SP3, Mozilla has verified they are compatible and not one user ''(including me on two separate PC's)'' has reported a problem with compatibility.

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!

Yahoo mail will not populate in firefox, works in explorer.

Using Windows 7, do not have AVG. Yahoo will not follow any commands, compose, sent mail etc. Just pulls up empty where the emails would be listed. Thank you.

Did Yahoo previously work for you in Firefox, or is this your first attempt to use it in Firefox?
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Yahoo mail will not let me download an attachment But Internet Explorer will!

When using FireFox with yahoo mail I can not download an attachment on an e-mail but Internet explorer will!

As stated above - purchasing more space in iCloud has nothing to do with this. You do not have enough space left on the iPad for the movie to download, you need to delete content on the device itself.
You may want to transfer purchases to iTunes and then delete some content on the device to make room.
Transfer purchases.

This article explains how to delete content from the device

Do not delete any important content without backing up, transferring purchases or transferring files to your computer.

Safari Version 5.0.6 (5533.22.3) yahoo mail will not support this version . Yet I cannot upgrade to a different version ? What can I do ?

I have a apple ibook and it has safari Version 5.0.6 (5533.22.3) and when I go to yahoo mail it will not load says it is no longer supported. Do I really have to get a different browser or is their an apple safari browser that I can down load. I also have an new apple book pro and it is fine but this older version is my home use computer.

If your Mac is an Intel CPU model then you can purchase a OS X 10.6.3 Snow Leopard upgrade disc from Apple for$20 and then update to OS X 10.6.8.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
If your Mac is an older PowerPC style Mac, then OS X 10.5.8 is as high an OS as your Mac will go.
If your Mac is a much older PowerPC Mac, you could try TenFourFox which is more up to date web browser, based on Mozilla Firefox, for older PowerPC Macs run OS X 10.4 Tiger or OS X 10.5 Leopard.

If your Mac can be upgraded to Snow Leopard, then
Backup your important data and/or your entire Mac OS system before doing a major systems upgrade.

Yahoo Mail will not send

So I receive mail just fine from my iPhone, but sending mail does not appear to work all the time. The last three messages I have sent from the mail app seem to disappear into thin air.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try sending an email from your Yahoo! account by using the Yahoo! webpage. Sometimes in order to send a message you have to deal with a captcha(sp?). (It's one of those images were you have to identify the distorted letters and numbers and type them into a text box). Anyway, when this happens you can't send email from your Yahoo account until you get past the captcha. The iPhone will act like the message has been sent (including the swish sound and all), but in reality the message is just lost. Very frustrating because you can't tell for sure when an email has been sucessfully sent!

Yahoo mail will not, "Load More Messages" on iPhone 3gs

When I go into my Yahoo mail account using the iPhone's mail app, scroll down to the bottom of my list in my inbox, and press the, "Load More Messages" button it will not load more. It's really making me upset. Anyone else having this problem? I have more messages to load but it just refuses to load them. Please help!
Thanks alot.

Hey Alan thanks again for the advice but what you suggested did not help/work. On my Yahoo account there is still and option to load more messages, but when I push it, it sadly still fails to load anymore messages. Question? Do the messages have to be unread for them to load? This is really starting to bug me because I can't go back and look at my old emails.
Also with my hotmail account it still will not even give me the option to load more messages. It's really frustrating.
And a final note: I tried to add my yahoo account on my wife's iPhone and it behaved exactly the same way (meaning it would give me the option to load more messages but when I asked it to, none would load)
Sad face.

Mail will not delete any messages

I have a 10.5.6 server running my mail services. I have a 10.5.6 client checking it. I currently have over 4,000 messages in my inbox and they all get downloaded when I check my mail. If I go to the account preferences in Mail.app and tell it to delete all the messages, they are not deleted. If I go to Get Account Info in Mail.app, I can see all the messages on the server. If I try to delete any of them, they're never deleted.
Now, to get more technical. I telnet into 110 on my server and user the user/pass commands to log into the POP server. Doing a "list" shows how many messages I have and how large they are.
Let's say the last one is 4133 (which it is). I do "dele 4133" to remove the message, then another "list". It shows the message is deleted. I quit out of the pop server, log back in and the same message is there.
Seeing all this, I know the messages aren't getting deleted.
Any ideas why? I have to disable my email until I get this resolved. I currently have 170,000 messages in my client's junk folder (fun times deleting those).

Yes, it was definitely within Cyrus. The Apple interfaces are pretty and all but they didn't even get close to helping me solve this easily.
Essentially, what I did was download all the emails from the server (to make sure I didn't miss anything), rename my email folder to something different to preserve the emails in case I really did miss something, then do a recover on the mailbox.
Being a UNIX-head, here's what I did on the server:
cd /var/spool/imap/user
mv scott scott.dead
sudo /usr/bin/cyrus/bin/reconstruct -r user/scott
Sudo, of course, prompted me for the superuser password but everything was fixed right away after that. It is recommended to shut down the mail service from inside the Server Admin program first.

Messages in "Mail" will not delete.

Hello, I had some troubles with my Mail application and seemed to have sorted it out, but I am unable to delete any messages. I highlight to delete and they dissapear but then they pop back within seconds. I have even used "erase mailbox" from the drop down menu and they all dissapear and then reappear again.
I've done a full system restore to see if I could fix the bug that way and it did nothing for Mail.

I had the same question. The answers I received here did not work. My son found this for me and it worked! I am now receiving mail for the first time in a week and the recovered messages file is now gone - previously, each time I deleted it, it reappeared within seconds.
Best answer - Sarah (Google Employee) Go to this answer

Please follow below steps.
1.Take your gmail account offline from Mail and delete the recovered messages folder.
2. Download the widget to show the hidden files from http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/developer/hiddenfiles.html
3. Go to UserName/Library/Mail/IMAP-<username>@[email protected]/.OfflineCache
4. Delete all the data under .OfflineCache folder - DO NOT DELETE the folder.
5. Close Mail application and reopen.
This should do the job.
Best regards,
Aadi

My yahoo mail will not work on my iMac or iPad...is there a problem with yahoo today?

Was working fine until last night...can't check yahoo mail through my computer's mailbox.

Well it is 14 days later, still no yahoo mail on my mac. I am leaving Yahoo FOREVER! Transitioning to icloud.com but cannot send or receive messages on my mac...help?

Yahoo mail will not show the body of an email. It works in Internet Explorer so I know it's not the Yahoo mail itself.

The body of my emails does not show up in Mozilla, but works in Internet Explorer.

Well it depends on what webmail client you're using. If you're using yahoo, then there is no way to do it. I asked them a couple of years ago and they replied back that they had no plans in the future for the option embed a picture in their mail. if you're using Hotmail, there is a program called Live Mail Client that will let you embed a picture in your email but it's only for Windows. Maybe in the Future they will build one for Mac OS's. Not sure about Gmail.

I am getting a 404 Not Found error when I try to access Yahoo Mail from Firefox. I can log in but Yahoo Mail will not open. It will open in IE. The problem is here at home.

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.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''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.

Mail will not delete content of RSS feed in Snow Leopard OSX Mail Update

I have 2 RSS feeds that subscribe to in Safari and read in Mail. When I delete a link in the feed in Mail and they go to the Trash - all of the links reappear when I relaunch Mail ... the same link reappears in the RSS feed. I have deleted the links, quit Mail, re-subscribed to the RSS feed in Safari - but it still happens. It is as if you can never delete the links in the RSS feed. Did not have this problem prior to updating to Snow Leopard. Anyone know whey that is? Or is the RSS feature in Safari just poorly designed and inadequate?

The whole point is to use fewer apps if possible.
That said, anyone know how to copy/export the RSS feed addresses from within Apple Mail?

Mail will not delete OS 10.6.8

I recently deleted around 3,000 sent emails in my Mac account. Then I emptied the trash. Now I get this message: The message “Name of file” could not be moved to the mailbox “Trash — Kristi Work”. I can't move any emails to the trash. Not even from my junk folder. I restarted twice. Can I reinstall Mail 4.5 or rebuild the mail box?

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
