Yahoo IMAP sync issue

[adub]

I am running Zimbra Desktop build 1278. I have also installed the xmailManage.tag patch per the 08-28-2008, 03:42 PM instructions.

I am a Yahoo Mail Plus user, and was also a Mail Personal Address customer, and this account was just migrated to Yahoo! Custom Mailbox service (part of Yahoo Small Business) due to the discontinuation of the Personal Address service. All mail is consolidated through my Yahoo account, so I only have one inbox; email address are aliases.

My Yahoo Mail account is set up properly with Zimbra Desktop and is working. All mailboxes are set to sync. My issue, as a few others have reported, all of my folders and messages are not syncing properly. For example, Zimbra states my Sent folder contains 1456 messages, whereas Yahoo Mail reports 6581. Zimbra reports anther as 3696 vs. 20160 reported by Yahoo for the same folder (I've been using this for over 10 years!).

Any suggestions on how to address this issue would be most appreciated.

well, the best way to do this is to enable debug trace (from account setup page) and file a bug with the trace, which goes into <install>/log/zdesktop.out.

Thank you. I have enabled debug trace and have the log file. Where/how do I submit the bug?

[jjzhuang]

please file a bug at Log in to Bugzilla and select "Desktop Client" as component. attach the log as private. please include both zdesktop.out and mailbox.log from the same time period. thanks!

jjhuang --- were you able to get this working? I am trying to do the same thing and am having trouble getting my folders to sync up with my Plus mail account. Right now, only the folders are downloading from my personal mail account. Is anyone else having this issue and found a resolution?

We need a lot more details. Please provide information on precisely what's wrong, and attach <install>/log/zdesktop.log. Best way to do this is to file a bug.

I am the original poster of this thread, so here's my two cents worth:

I am also a Mail Plus user and was very exited about the prospect of using a client that would support IMAP and give me offline access, but I was never able to get it to work. On the plus side, I found the support and technical staff at Zimbra to be very responsive and they went to great lengths to deal with this problem. However, even though Zimbra may be owned by Yahoo, that doesn't mean that the Yahoo Mail team either supports or actively assists their subsidiary. In my case, I simply could not ever get the Zimbra client to work with Yahoo Mail. The issue was on the Yahoo end, and with their rather dubious IMAP support. I also have a Plus Mail account and this has been quite frustrating to deal with.
