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.

3gs, iPhone OS 3.0.1

Same problem here. It must just be Yahoo accounts. My Gmail will load more messages. Thanks for passing this on to Apple support.

Hey Brent that's really annoying man, sorry. There still is no solution to this problem but there is a guy in this thread who is talking to apple about it. So until he let's us know what he finds out then we are all just waiting.

One thing I have noticed about this issue is that most everyone who has the problem reports that it used to work perfectly but now it does not. I remember right when I got my phone it worked great, then, without updating anything, it just stopped working. Seems odd to me and leads me to believe it's a Yahoo problem but I'm probably wrong on that. Just an observation.

Well anyway, peace out all. Have a nice weekend.

This is what the Geniuses at Yahoo have to say about the problem...

I had sent them a link to this thread so that they could realize that lots of users had this problem and not just me...

"Please visit the URL and follow the troubleshooting steps:

http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mobile/comms/mail/iphone-04.html

Additionally, if the steps on the help page did not fully resolve your
issue, I'd suggest the following these additional steps to continue
troubleshooting.

- Set up your Yahoo! Account on your iPhone using the "Yahoo!" option.
Please make sure that you enter your new password when setting up the
account.

- Make sure that your iPhone is not set to Manual Push. To verify this
please take the following steps:

- Open Settings - Select Mail - Select Auto Check - Ensure it is not set
to "manual"

Regards,

Chris"

I also asked them for the Yahoo IMAP server settings and they asked me to contact my mobile service provider!!!

"Hello Rahul,

Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Mobile.

I'm sorry but the information you are asking for is not something that
Yahoo! can provide. IMAP server information is specific to your carrier.
You should be able to find the answer to your question by going straight
to your carrier. They're the real experts on their own stuff, and can
give you the most complete information on their products and websites.

Please write back to us if you have questions or comments about any of
our Yahoo! services. Good luck!

Thank you again for contacting Yahoo! Mobile.

Regards,

Eve"

Yeah Rahul that is pretty much exactly what yahoo told me when I contacted them the first time. They did get a little more specific when I replied and told them nothing they suggested helped but again they did not provide solutions. Good luck trying to figure out the IMAP setting stuff and hopefully someone from apple or yahoo will notice soon that this load more message problem is unaccecptable and fix it.

Peace.

Same problem here: iPhone 3G, OS 3.1, Yahoo mail set up on the phone. Used to work fine in 2.x but stopped under 3.x - not sure exactly when. Tried to delete Email Acct & re-add from scratch, didn't help. Would really like it fixed...

I don't think this problem was caused by OS 3.x. I bought my 3GS and that came with 3.0.1 installed if I remember right. When I first loaded my Yahoo mail on my iPhone the Load More Messages feature worked just fine. So I think, and I could be totally wrong, that Yahoo did some internally that screwed things up. But this is just total speculation. Thank you however for posting in this thread; sorry to hear you have this problem as well. Hopefully this will get fixed.

Peace

Hi,

load more messages on yahoo is working for me now. I didn't change any settings...just randomly tried it today and it worked in all my folders including the inbox.

Hope it's working for everyone now.

Thanks,
rahul

Oct 18, 2009 8:54 AM in response to rahul.l

It is not working for me. Interesting that it is now working for you.

Also, the sending of a contact info via vCard is still trashed by the default Yahoo mail service.

Oct 18, 2009 9:21 AM in response to toddlydavis

Agreed on both points: Still doesn't load more messages, still turns vCard info into HTML-ish text instead of as an attached file. Sadness. 😟 C'mon, Apple, Yahoo, someone reach out to the other and get these problems FIXED, would you???

Hey Rahul, thank God my, "Load more messages" now works. It started working right after I updated to 3.1.2. So hopefully you all will update and it will start to work. Best of luck to all.

Peace.

Hey walkertr123, i'm glad its finally working for u as well.

the vCard attachments do still end up in HTML when mailed from yahoo but I'm really not too concerned with that bug.

guess this finally puts an end to our MISERY 🙂

thanks for your help!
