Yahoo! Push email has stopped working

Anyone else having this issue? Push email is totally dead on my 1.1.3 iPhone. I've tried deleting the account and rebuilding it, as well as totally restoring the phone. No luck either way. Any thoughts?

Mac OS X (10.4.10)

I've got the problem back again now! And powering off/on doesn't work now! I notice that I cannot actually access Yahoo on Safari either (anyone else tried that?) No problem on my desktop PC.

I reckon it's a Yahoo problem in relation to iPhone specifically or maybe mobile devices generally. Otherwise why would we all suddenly be having this problem? Either it's a glitch or Yahoo's done something to their servers - that's my theory anyway.

I posted earlier but here is a new one with this Yahoo Pushing issue. I deleted my Yahoo account (I have no other email account on my iPhone), then rebooted my iPhone, and then added back my Yahoo email account. I'm still not getting my mail pushed to the iPhone. I have to refresh manually. Here is the kicker, I added my daughter's Yahoo email account to my iPhone. Her email account is working fine. I'm getting her mail pushed to the phone just fine but my account is still not getting the mailed pushed. How in the world can I have two different Yahoo accounts on my iPhone (set up exactly the same way) but one does not work and the other works fine getting the mail pushed?

Count me in on this Yahoo! Mail NOT pushing problem. Like many of the rest of the people who have posted regarding this issue, I have deleted all my yahoo accounts and reinstalled them all..... NOTHING. I am at a loss of words. If anyone happens to figure out how to fix this issue, or if anyone finds out when this problem is going to be repaired by the folks at Yahoo! please let us all know. Since getting my iPhone I have really enjoyed everything about it, especially the fact that Yahoo! Mail was Pushed (just like I was used to with my Blackberry). Without push its pain to have to manually check to see if any mail has come in.

Add me to the list. Mine is not pushing either. Even when I try to check for mail manually it just keep checking forever. Now when I tried deleting Yahoo and setting it up again it tells me it cannot verify the imap server. I had to turn WiFi off in order for it to work. It seems that it has a problem with WiFi.

Update:
I have sent a couple of test emails to my Yahoo account from different email accounts and everything bounces back undeliverable.

What is going on?
