1 yahoo mail acct not deleting received mail the other are..

[chemasi]

I have a few yahoo mail accounts in which i use yahoopops (the latest version) to download to Outlook XP. About a day ago, I noticed that one of my accounts was repeatedly downloading the same email messages and leaving them on the server. The others were deleting the email messages as they should.

What's going on?

I WAS ALSO HAVEING THE SAME PROBLEM WHICH DID NOT START UNTIL I INSTALLED VERSION 6. I UNINSTALLED VERSION 6 AND WENT BACK TO VERSION 5 AND THIS SOLVED MY PROBLEM.
HOPE THIS HELPS.

Yahoo has apparently changed something. Three of us here use yahoo mail with yahoo pops through both mozilla mail and thunderbird mail. Yesterday one of them did that, today the second started. Nothing changed in either the yahoopops setup or the mail client setup. The mail downloads, but if you have "all messages" set, they get downloaded over and over. If you set to "unread only" it partially solves that problem, but you still have to go to the yahoo mail webpage and manually delete the downloaded messages. I checked the full yahoopops log and it says it deleted them, but it didn't. I think yahoo is phasing something new in since my mail at yahoo is prefixed f600, the second account was f83, etc. It's a nuisance, especially if you forget to go delete them and they count against your quota. It hasn't happened yet to the third account, but we're all waiting for it soon. We all use v 0.6. I even uninstalled totally and reinstalled, no difference.

I hope you all have set your Outlook (MS, or Express) configuration for Yahoo account, under:


Tools -- Accounts -- Properties -- Advanced -- Delivery


... and you left "Leave a copy of message on server" radio-button UNCHECKED ??

Not sure if this will help track it down, but I have the same problem with both of my Yahoo addresses. I've been using YPops for a while with no configuration changes and there was no change i behavior when I installed the Windows XP SP2 update.

I also run ePrompter, although not for my Yahoo accounts. I added my Yahoo accounts to ePrompter and had no difficulty using it to delete the Yahoo mail permanently.

Maybe just a temporary glitch?

Download Daniel's Beta version linked in the sticky faq.
It was released today. It fixed my delete problem.
Yahoo did make a change.

Daniel's beta did not fix mine.

I downloaded the beta and had success, thanks.

It works here for three users, one of whom hadn't had the problem yet, but I'm sure it was coming.

Thanks for quick fix

Looks like the change was made in webbrowser.cpp
Here is the readme.txt file in the 9/15 source.

YPOPs Experimental Patch: Leave as unread, big emails processing,
download limit changed, long message ids trimmed,
usage report and crumb parsing with new inteface,
sign out
Patch #ltd040915a
Daniel Bryg <[email protected]>, YahooPOPs! project developer
2004-09-15

Summary:

1.'Leave as unread' option will not mark old messages. The name
of the option should be changed to 'Don't mark as read' in the future.
WebBrowser.cpp
- while scanning messages in FetchInboxList(), parsing retieves
style of displayed message. This determines whether message
has been read.
- MarkUnread() rewritten to affect only previously unread messages.
This also should fix the crashing bug.
ServiceClient.cpp,Webbrowser.h/.cpp
- Processing of QUIT command changed to delete messages even with
the new option on and to respond with an error if there's a problem
with deleting.
Email.h/.cpp
- new parameter and methods to save and retrieve the read/unread
status of messages.

2.Section that replaces LF with CRLF sequence and takes care of
doubling dots has been rewritten to speed up processing.
WebBrowser.cpp
- Instead of calling CStdString::Replace(), two loops are doing
the job in CWebBrowser::DownloadEmail(). First loop scans the
message to determine the required memory, second loop copies the
message body while replacing as needed.
- CWebBrowser::DownloadEmail() checks whether email body is NULL
(bugfix - Exception was thrown when email body was empty).

3.New option 'Apply Limit to Message List' limits the number
of messages that are reported to client.
MiscConfigPage.h/.cpp,DataHolder.h/.cpp,resources
- new item on the Miscellanous configuration page (automatically
disabled if Ignore exact email size is off).
Webbrowser.cpp
- the loop in FetchMailboxList() is aborted if limit is reached
and the new option is on (m_bApplyLimit).

4.Very long message ids are trimmed to sequences of 7 numbers (bugfix).
WebBrowser.cpp
- code extracting UIDL in FetchMailboxList() is changed.

5.Message counter is increased only when downloading headers (bugfix).
WebBrowser.cpp
- counter does not impact downloading message body in DownloadEmail().

6.Null content type of retrieved pages (when a network problem
occurs) is not causing crashing and hanging popup windows.
HttpClientResponse.cpp
- checking for NULL in SetContentType() and ContentTypeContains()

7.Crumb extraction adapted for the new javascript interface (bugfix).
WebBrowser.cpp
- regular expression changed in ConnectToYahoo()

8.YPOPs signs out of the Yahoo! services after each session
if the cookie timeout is set to 0 (security improvement).
Webbrowser.h/.cpp
- new method LogOff() calls Yahoo sign-out page.
YahooStuff.h/.cpp
- new URL for the sign-out page
ServiceClient.cpp
- CWebBrowser::LogOff() is the last call made for servicing
the POP3 QUIT command.
SmtpClient.cpp
- CWebBrowser::LogOff() is called after receiving
the SMTP QUIT command.

9.Logging of the mailbox usage is adapted for the new Yahoo
interface and done with every retrieval of message lists.
Webbrowser.cpp
- update in FetchInboxList().

10.Source code that was missing from 0.6 release is back and fixed,
making the 'Ingore exact mail size' option work again.
DataHolder.cpp,ConfigMiscPage.h/.cpp

All changes for this patch were made to files included in the
v0.6 source release.

No.7, to be speicfic.

Formerly crumb was extracted from "empty trash" link. Now the link is not there, so it is extracted from javascript code which builds the url. In fact the page is now scanned for part of this url that occurs in both versions of the page.
