RE: [apple-iphone] POP issue

Thanks for the info Brent. I figured it was Yahoo.

I believe the problem is yahoo and not iOS. Email from other sources has no problems, only those that come through or from y! groups have problems.

I am with ATT and y! will not push email, and several times a day will tell me there is no body in an email or the format of the body is wrong. Yet when I check the same email on OS X 10.7.5, there is no problem, issue, or clue as to why. All were either written in Apple Mail.app (OS X or iOS versions) or yahoo webmail.

I've had a great number of issues with Yahoo mail using cellular on Verizon. I never can figure out if it's the mail program, Verizon or Yahoo. I spend most of the day in a building that can only get LTE with one or two bars and frequently drops to 3G and sometimes 1X. It seems like Yahoo tries a few times to push mail and if it can't it will quit trying and I will not get that email till another one comes in. I can go into mail with a good LTE signal it will update and nothing comes down. It might be hours before it comes through and usually after another email comes in. I'm set up now to pull every 15 minutes and that doesn't seem to help either. Yesterday a couple of emails with attached photos would not download the attachments or did, but there was nothing to look at. Finally several hours later they came through.

I'm thinking of switching to Gmail, but I have no idea how to export all of the mail and folders out of Yahoo.

MacNN reports:

Users of iOS 9, OS X 10.11 El Capitan reporting POP email issues

While admittedly a fairly outdated technology these days, POP email accounts are still in use by millions who rely on accounts set up by local ISPs who don't offer an alternative, or have had a particular email address for longer than IMAP has been in wide use. First reported by iOS 9 users, MacNN has also received reports of problems from OS X 10.11 El Capitan users who report that emails with attachments may not offer the option to download those attachments, or claim that they haven't been downloaded from the server.

The problem seems specific to Mail (the built-in native Mac app) on both systems, with some users reporting that using webmail or an alternative email program provides a workaround for the issue. Complicating the issue is that POP servers are generally configured by default to deliver a copy of the email to the first device that logs in, and then delete the email from the ISP's server -- severing a link that may be needed if the attachment or image in the email was not fully downloaded. Devices running iOS leave POP messages on the server by default, but other devices checking the account could cause the message to be removed. Apple is aware of the issue, but it is not yet clear if the problem has been resolved in iOS 9.1 or OS X 10.11.1, both currently in beta testing.
