Yahoo Mail and Drafts Folder

[Jim Nasium]

I own a Pixel 2 and use the Gmail app to sync Gmail and Yahoo.

When I create a draft in my Gmail account, using the Gmail app on the Pixel it synchronizes to the Web Browser on a PC.

When I create a draft in my Gmail account, using the Web Browser on a PC it synchronizes to the Gmail app on the Pixel.

When I create a draft message for the Yahoo account with the Gmail app on the Pixel, it doesn't synchronize to the Web Browser on the PC.

When I create a draft message for the Yahoo account with a Web Browser on the PC it does not synchronize to the Gmail app on the Pixel.

however,

When I create a draft message for the Yahoo account using the Yahoo Mail app on the Pixel, the message synchronizes to the Web Browser on the PC.

When I create a draft message for the Yahoo account with the Web Browser on a PC, it synchronizes to the Yahoo Mail app on the Pixel.

Do the Gmail app, and the Drafts folder for a Yahoo account not work well together? I have over 100 folders in my Yahoo account, and everything else synchronizes fine. All of my Gmail folders synchronize including Drafts.

Thank you.

Sounds like an issue with the yahoo mail server.
Probably nothing can be done on the user side.

yeah you will need to use yahoo mail separately from gmail. of course the servers will not communicate like that. i think it is by design.

OP:
Yahoo mail is seperated from gmail, they are two different companies altogether

But you can have Gmail receive and send from other email clients like yahoo. It's just the the servers will always have trouble communicating and syncing.
