Yahoo! email not pushing

I read about these from elsewhere before. Tried them all. A temporary fix at best for me.

Just sent Yahoo! another email to chase things up.

Dear Customer Care,

I last heard from you about this problem I reported on the 7th of Feb. Could you please give me an update on this?

I am a paid customer of Yahoo Mail! I am using Yahoo! Mail Plus. Is very disappointing that it took Yahoo! such a long time to fix this.

Best regards

not working at all the last two days when I really needed it 😟

I thought I was no longer a member of this community, as Yahoo said they fixed the problem for me, and Push had been working for a month. A month! And now it's not. Just wrote to Yahoo again. I really do not understand what is going on when all of a sudden it stops working and we have not changed anything. Very annoying.

SW98,

Glad it helped you. Push has been working fine for me ever since I made that change. I notice it only pushes new emails. If I read or delete a message on my yahoo mail on another device (e.g., my ipad or computer), then that change does not get pushed down. So it seems Yahoo only "pushes" new emails and not the update (read and delete). This does not matter as when I open my email on the iPhone it quickly refreshes any updates.

The most important thing is that I can see new mail has being pushed down.

Greg,

For the most part, push has been pretty consistent since I tried your fix. I've noticed also it pushes new emails, but does not update read or deleted messages either. Do you keep your mail app running in the background or do you end all background apps?

Although this may only temporarily fix your yahoo email problem, it is worth a shot. Try the steps posted here and see if they work for you.

Tried all that long ago. Just a temporary fix.

There is a real problem with Yahoo! that needs fixing.

SW96 - I always have email running. However, I turned email off and tested it and it pushed the new yahoo emails immediately. So it works fine for me if the email app is running or not.

I'm not an expert on this but I THINK that push notifications and the apps they belong to are separate things. So the fact that you got a push doesn't have any relation to the app being open or not.

I will say that on Friday, I had mail running in the background and the pushes weren't displaying on the screen but I *was* getting the new e-mail sound so that might be a different situation from what I described above.

Greg --

Thanks, I'll try both methods then. When you originally set up your Yahoo accounts, did you choose the "Yahoo" prompt or did you choose "Other" and then manually entered the IMAP settings? I've tried both methods so far and it's too early to tell which is more accurate but I'm trying to see if we can pinpoint this.

I tried both options to set up my Yahoo! Mail many times. They made no difference to my problem.

Just wiped my iPad clean and restored it to factory settings. Loaded it up with the latest iOS 5.1.

After 2 to 3 hours of working with it, Yahoo! Mail stopped pushing!

I knew it was not going to work. Argh!

Wrote to Yahoo! again today.

Dear Customer Care,

It's been two weeks since your last email. Could you give me an update of the issue please?

Yours faithfully,
