Yahoo! email not pushing

Working as of 1/23 11am central - not convinced this is fixed until it works for a whole day.

Mine had been working until about 2-3 hours ago and once again it's not. Thats yahoo for you!

Mine pushed for a while over the weekend but has since died again completely. The only way I can receive e-mail is by manually checking I can't even get the fetch to work. Just have to sit tight and hopefully Yahoo will come good.

Yahoo Push has been working since yesterday morning. I had to delete and re-enter my account after reading Push was working. After this was done, the emails have been pushing.

Push had been working for me sporatically yesterday. As of last night, it again stopped working. As of this morning, I cannot even retrireve messages. The only way to access my new emails are via the web browser. I got this wonderful response from Yahoo regarding this problem:

Looks like I'll be closing my yahoo account after 10+ years and opening another. Anyone have any suggestions on who to use?

I wonder why it works for some people and not others. Mine has been good for 24 hours now. I didn't do anything different from what has been described in this thread...

Wow! Glad to see that they are working on it!

How did you manage to get in touch with Yahoo about this particular issue? There is no way to report problem through their web site the last time I looked. Good job!

Lucky you.

That's so odd...both that your push is not working and that response you received from Yahoo. I understand your frustration and do not understand why some accounts work and some don't.

As far as other accounts, Gmail would be the best though Push isn't set up for them via the iOs mail. You can use the actual Gmail app and I get messages pushed to this. I have read that you can get push to work in the iOs mail but didn't read into it.

Don't mean to jinx a good thing by reporting it - but my push has been working fine for almost a week...and continues to function (iphone 4 with iOS 5.0.1 using a yahoo bizmail/paid account).

Regarding Webmommy's correspondence from Yahoo - it took them weeks to even admit there was a problem - it could take weeks for customer service to realize that engineering has implemented what, at least, appears to be a partial solution.

Keeping my fingers crossed that it continues to work for the ones lucky enough and it starts to work for others.

Mine is still working too, which I am almost afraid to report in case I jinx it.

For those people still having problems, if you have Apple Care I suggest you go back to Apple, and tell them that many Yahoo users have had their push issue resolved, but you have not. Perhaps they can look again at your settings to see if anything new would help. And I would recommend that you spend as little time as possible with the Level 1 person who answers your call and get him/her to escalate to a specialist.

Another potential solution: have an Apple Genius update the modem firmware in your phone. I have a 4s and once I moved from version 1.0.13 to 1.0.14 on 1/19/12, Yahoo mail (normal account, not plus) started pushing again.

Of course, this update might have simply coincided with some change on Yahoo's side, becuase I know some other users got the functionality back around the same time...

2 days of push working fine now.

can I suggest that the simplest way to get it working on your phone is to delete the account and then re-add it? That seems to be what flips the switch for everyone else in one form or another. Once your credentials have been verified from the phone to yahoo, that seems to get the pushes working again.

I just got done with Yahoo Live Chat. Here is the transcript and at the end you will see the link to contact Yahoo Mobile Support. Please....everyone fill this out and send to Yahoo to complain about the mail not pushing!

Laura: Hello

Francis: Hi! Welcome to our Yahoo! Mail Live Chat service. I'm glad you've joined us.

Laura: That's correct....it's been extremely intermittent, mostly not pushing.

Laura: I've seen this issue in the apple communities support forums...lots of people are complaining about this

Francis: Thanks for the information.

Laura: yw

Francis: Are you getting an error message?

LauraMackie, thank you for providing the details of your chat with Yahoo and the form to fill out which I just did. I knew I should not have posted here that my Yahoo push to my phone was working. I jinxed it and it stopped working tonight. Ah, back to fetch for a couple of days.
