Missing mail
Suddenly only some of my mail appears on my MackBook Air, where the rest appears on my iPhone! Why would this happen and how do I fix it?

Back up all data. Rebuild the mailbox.

Thank you for the reply.
The Rebuild icon does not light up to click on. It tries to get Yahoo! but nothing happens. It acts like it has, but no change for days...
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.

That’s all!
Thank you - this helped.
