E-MAILS NOT SHOWING UP

I am not sure if you are using Yahoo, but the Push is not working and apple has no clue why.

How do you get a Yahoo account to even push.
I do not think that you can get it to push.
You need another services like ActiveSync with and Exchange server or MobileMe for the push function to work.
So you need not even turn on push and just set the Fetch frequency to your desired interval or just manualy fetch them.

How do you connect to your Yahoo account?
i.e. POP3 or HTTP?

Either one will not push.
Here are the features with MobileMe. This will explain it all.

If you want MobileME you need to purchase this for $99 annually.
Since Yahoo is a free account is your e-mail that important that you need it pushed to you? Most likely not if you are just using a free Yahoo account. So I think that set frequency to a desired interval or just open your e-mail and force a fetch is the right option.

So it looks like incredimail can be used on the iphone. What do I set the email to sync with in itunes? I only see an option for outlook or outlook express. This is for a friend of mine and she uses a windows machine 😮

When using the Yahoo account preset to create a Yahoo account with the iPhone's Mail client, the account is created as an IMAP account with Push access. The iPhone's Mail client is the only email client that Yahoo provides IMAP account access with along with Push access provided to iPhone customers.

If your email account a POP account or an IMAP account?

If a POP account, a problem with a POP account is the incoming mail server for the account does not support two email clients accessing the incoming mail server at the same time. If the email client on your computer is checking the incoming mail server for new messages when the Mail client on your iPhone does the same, email will not be delivered to your iPhone - the incoming mail server will lock preventing this, and the same in reverse. Have you ever received an error message with the email client on your computer that the password for the account is not valid or any type of error message temporarily? With the Mail.app on my Mac, the account will be taken offline when this occurs.

Thank you. So it sounds like I need to set up outlook express on her computer as well? She will still get all her emails in her incrediMail????? Also can you tell me how you are syncing your address book? Also with Outlook express? Sorry to sound dumb. I am a mac user and have not not been on a windows system for some time now. Also don't want to screw up my friends email.

Email account mailboxes and messages are not included with the iTunes sync process. Under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences, there is an option to transfer email account settings to the iPhone, but that is it.

Contacts can be synced with the address book used by Outlook Express called Windows Contacts. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences. If this address book is not currently being used - it does not include any contacts, before syncing the iPhone's address book with Windows Contacts, enter one unique contact in Windows Contacts - make the contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt when syncing contacts with the address book, which you want to select.

After you have received messages with the email client on your computer, quit the email client or turn off automatically checking for new messages. Follow this by using the iPhone's mail client to check the account for new messages to see if the just received new messages with the email client on your computer are received with the iPhone's mail client.

In addition, what are the account settings with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account to remove messages from the server when downloaded?

Thanks. So if I do this and set her up with Outlook Express, will everything be the same for her incrediMail? her address book for example? Currently her address are in something other than Outlook Express or Windows Contacts. I don't want her to lose her addresses.
