Yahoo Mail Folders not "Sending and Receiving"

therookielot · #1 (**permalink**) 05-15-2009, 09:18 AM

I recently set my yahoo email account up so anything facebook, chase, myspace, youtube, and ebay related get filtered to their own folder to reduce Inbox clutter. The thing is, I'm not getting any of those emails on my phone. The folders show up, but nothing is showing in them. Anyone know how to fix it?

Did you go to manage folders on your ppc and select those folders to update?

From your Yahoo email inbox:
Menu > Tools > Manage Folders

I thought that just syncs it with my computer once I plug it in?

I do this with my work exchange acct and have to select the sub-folders that I want it to sync with or I won't get those e-mails.

Alright I'll try that, thanks! Now all I need is a facebook or myspace email

So I tried this, it's still not working. Anything else I could try?

sorry to leave you hanging on this bro. I created a subfolder in Yahoo and selected it to sync on my ppc using the steps above. I did a send/receive and went to that folder and the messages were there.

Well after a week, this mysteriously worked lol.

It just doesn't tell me, or give me a notification on the touchflo screen. ONLY if something's in the inbox

I have this issue with syncing when I'm NOT using my desktop to sync. How do I get the contents of my yahoo mail folders if they only exist on yahoo.com and not locally?
