Yahoo mail not downloading in background on iOS 18

In IOS 18, my new yahoo mails don’t download until I open the apple mail app. The badge will say I have a number of new emails, but they don’t start downloading until I access the inbox. This worked until the upgrade and all I’m still set to Fetch every 15 minutes (yahoo doesn’t allow push) like before.

I escalated the issue and spoke with a higher level technical support representative today (12/15), and she acknowledged that there’s an issue with Yahoo mail in the Mail app with iOS 18.2.

The workaround is to use the Yahoo mail app until it gets fixed. There’s no eta on the resolution, but she said that it’s a high priority to fix it because it affects so many people.
