Ok this is a weird one. On my iPhone with autocheck mail set to manual, it doesn't check for new mail unless I hit the email button and check the account. On my partners iPhone, the settings are exactly the same (autocheck set to manual), but he gets email alerts whenever he gets a new yahoo message. Anyone else having this problem?
The autocheck option doesn't seem to impact Yahoo email accounts... because they're meant to have Push email notification. What you're experiencing is the issue many of us have with Yahoo Push email... it doesn't consistently/reliably push email for some folks. Your partner appears to be one of the lucky ones... for some reason theirs is working and yours doesn't. There's been some discussion here about ways to "clear" the problem... logging into the Yahoo account with a browser and clearing out your inbox to trigger push again, etc.)... but if that works for you it's likely to be a temporary fix.
I've tried all sorts of things, even creating a new yahoo "free" email account, which at one time was rumored to consistently work for people. Not so... I find that Push no longer works reliably for either my Yahoo! Plus account, or my new/free Yahoo account.
A fix is loooong overdue.
