Yahoo! email not pushing

Thnaks .. its really work.

I had the same problem update my iphone4 with iSO5, won't be able to yahoo server.

I did delete the account and add it again, didn't work.

Finally, go on to your yahoo mail with other computer, change your password, log on and log off with the new password, make sure it works.

Now delete your not working yahoo mail account on your iPhone 4, then add it again with your new password, and it works on my iphone 4 with new iSO 5.

Good Luck! Hope it help 🙂

That seems to have worked for me as well.

I went through all my yahoo emails via web interface and found several that were problematic and would not open. After deleting all the emails that would not open, all the others downloaded and I am receiving new emails in the app now.

Thanks!

Thank you so much Sirogi!!! I moved all of my emails out of my inbox. I movee them back in like you said, but it didn't push the new ones through. So I moved them all back out and left them out. Now the emails are flooding in. You're a life saver!!!

Didn't work. It got rid of the emails from two months ago but now I don't see anything. It just says loading more messages. I don't understand, I never had a problem with it until the IOS5 update. All of my other emails are working fine except for yahoo. This is starting to p*ss me off!

OMG it worked! Thank you so much Sirogi!

Sirogi.....THIS WORKS!! My iphone email (after updating to iOS 5) was stuck on a date in Sept (10th). Excellent suggestion.

anyone fixed the problem WITHOUT deleting the clogged emails? some of the clogged emails, i cant afford to delete 😟

not necessary to delete....emails need to be moved to a subfolder

Sweet.. Emptied out my Inbox by moving all my Inbox emails to a newly created folder completely fixed it! Thanx so much Sirogi!!!

I was having the problem the email's where not pushed. I've tried moving all to another folder, changing the pasword, reseting the phone, deleting the mail account but nothing make my emails to be pushed. Then I remember a similar error with the gmail where the password for the Apple ID had to match the one with gmail mail account. So I realized that i have created a iCloud ID using the yahoo mail address and used different password than the one for the yahoo mail acount. When I changed the passwords to match (for iCloud and yahoo mail) then the push messages start poping up imediatly. This worked out for me.

PS. This was on my wife Iphone where the Apple ID and the iCloud ID are different.

you are a genius my friend

am having the same problem...like previous poster said..i moved all inbox messages to a new/temp inbox...now it seems to be working...

I'm not sure if this applies to other or not, but when I upgraded to iOS 5 on my iPhone 3GS, somehow the Yahoo account on the phone got corrupted. It showed that Yahoo only supported "manual" and "fetch", but not "push". I ended up deleting my Yahoo account and recreating it. That was easier said than done since every time I tried to delete my Yahoo account off the phone, it would come back when I exited and went back into the accoutn screen. I finally managed to delete it by changing all the account default to iCloud (mail, contacts, calendar, everything). I could then delete my Yahoo account. When I readded it, push was active.

Note when I upgraded to my iPhone 4S, I used the 3GS's backup data and ran into the same problem and had to fix it there as well.

I'll mention that I have a number of "bad" emails in my Yahoo Mail account, ranging from October 12th through October 15th, but I had already moved them over to folders. I can read them in the iPhone's mail app, but using the web mail page results in an error that they can't be opened. Yahoo is currently investigating that.

So, my phone started loading my yahoo account out of the blue today. No idea why it started working or for how long. Guess we'll see. Thanks for all of the suggestions.
