[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1703642, member: 83420"] Don't thank me yet. I haven't solved your problem; but let's keep at it. When I read your first post-back, I got the impression that you didn't use another app, like Mail. I assumed you were entirely web-based. Now, things are better. Let's start with your MacBook. Open Mail. Then from the top Menu Bar, click on Mail and, from the dropdown, select Preferences [BTW, the quick way to get to preferences in any app is to use Cmd + , (comma) ]. In preferences, click on Accounts. On the left side will be a list of your email account or accounts. You should see Yahoo and under the name "Yahoo" it will read IMAP or POP3. What does yours say? This will be our starting point. When we know that, then we can sort out your iPhone. Just for interest, a little bedtime reading if you're in the mood. As you say you are a little unclear about the difference between POP and IMAP, here are a couple of links. I'm not suggesting you do anything, just for general info: [url]http://www.macworld.com/article/1165600/software-web/how-to-convert-a-pop-email-account-to-imap.html[/url] [url]http://www.macworld.com/article/143164/2009/10/imap.html[/url] [url]http://www.macworld.com/article/1165600/software-web/how-to-convert-a-pop-email-account-to-imap.html[/url] Stick with it. We'll do our best. Ian [/QUOTE]
