Yahoo Mail Issues

Hi dustin, I have the exact same problem! with yahoo.com

In yahoo account I have rules and folders.

I have configured on apple mail the yahoo account as imap. I receive mail in folders but in the main folder (inbox) I can't receive.

I deleted the account and reinstalled it. The inbox folder is empty.

On my ipad and my iphone all works well.

I tried with a gmail account at it works well.

I also have this problem. I have made no changes to any of my account settings or application settings but mail coming to my Yahoo account no longer comes into my Mail app inbox on my iMac but it's continuing to work normally on my iPhone and iPad.

iMac (27" late 2012) OS X Yosemite 10.10.1

I suppose it's a yahoo issue. me too I haven't changed any setting. Now I tried to install airmail, it work well. It's an issue between apple mail and yahoo

It is very odd because my wife and our kids' emails are still working fine on the iMac and all the devices. Same service provider, all using Yahoo mail. It's just the one email account (mine) that isn't getting email in Mail's inbox on the iMac, but I can still send email out fine. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that someone discovers a solution before I start investigating other clients. Mail may not be the best email client around, but its what everyone in the family is used to.

Exact same problem here, just started today. I've been on the phone and chat with apple care all day with no solution as of yet. Let me know if anyone figures this out.

I've been having the same problem, but mine started a few days ago. I tried deleting the account and re adding but nothing has worked so far.

Add me to the list... same exact issue. my yahoo inbox stopped showing new messages 2 days ago, but my husband's (same imap account/ same settings etc) continued to work perfectly until today. now, neither of ours are working... but they continue to work fine via web and/ or iPhones/ iPads. if anyone figures this out, please post... thanks

Add me to the list - it stopped working on Apple Mail on Jan 10. Works fine on all my iOS devices, but not on Yosemite 10.10.1.

Im having the exact same issue, I hope this gets resolved quickly.

Same problem here, any solution?

hi all... it seems that my account on apple mail returned to work...

Mine started working again as well last night. Just new messages came in at first. I quit Mail and restarted my Macbook and now ALL my inbox messages reappeared. I think Yahoo fixed the glitch.

Chatted with Apple Support last night on this - they have no clue though still have an open ticket number. As with others all other folders from Yahoo but the inbox are fine. On their advice I went through the arduous reloading of OSX-Yo and still nothing. Account works fine on all iOS devices just not on the Mac Pro nor my Macbook. Tried several of the remedies from the community but the inbox sync from yahoo is just stuck according to the activity window. This happened once before in December but cleared up on its own - just crossing my fingers that this "clears up" up soon as spontaneously as it happened and Apple finds the glitch.

Other things you'll note - All other folders are up to date but the inbox - in fact eventually all emails in the yahoo inbox will magically disappear. Also you may notice multiple yahoo STMP and IMAP connections (3-5) in the connectivity doctor - this stumped the Apple Support person. The file structure in the ~/Library/mail/V2 folder was normal - backed this entire folder up to my Timecapsule as a safeguard before I started deleting and adding more accounts.

Hope this helps others seeing this for the first time - I would suspect that the issue is something that is OSX Yo and Yahoo server related. Wonder if our Windoze friends are see this as well...

Experiencing same problem -- just started today. Glad to hear problem seems to have magically disappeared for some of you, but would feel much better if Apple could publish solution, rather than just having to sit and wait in hope that the same thing will happen to me. Have restarted computer and deleted/re-added my account, but without success.
