Yahoo! email not pushing

I've been noticing today that there have been yahoo mail issues. It's been fine for weeks now, but today something has been going on. Give it till tomorrow..it will probably clear up.

Did you set your mail to push?

today was my first day that i tried to set up yahoo push, but i was out of luck. yahoo isn't pushing. i contacted my provider, made some toubleshooting, but everything was fine on my end, but still no pushed email. most probably the problem is on yahoo's end.

I replied back in November - thought it might have something to do with rebooting the iphone - turns out it did not help consistently. But then for a few months all was fine. Within the last few days - back to the same old non-pushing issue. Have tried with wifi on and off -- wifi only -- 3G only - nothing seems to work consistently.

Although no one will take responsibility for it (Yahoo blames it on Apple or ISP - ISP blames it on Yahoo and Apple etc) I suspect it is a Yahoo issue. Just a guess, though.

Suppose we'll just have to wait around until it (hopefully) goes away. Geesh.....

having same problem but my deivce is an ipod touch 4g not an iphone and my data carrier is a mix of comcast (wifi) and virgin mobile (3g/mifi), so I think that effectively rules out Yahoo! -> AT&T as the source of the problem.

I also sent a test e-mail to my iCloud e-mail account and push was also spotty there although that issue could just as easily have been my mifi..

I was able to get it working again after a "soft" reset (sleep/wake for 5s) but then it immediately stopped working again and couldn't be revived with the same trick.

just to make matters worse, after all that my yahoo push mysteriously worked again but then when I went to check the message the Mail app seemed to have trouble refreshing the screen, laying two or three things on top of one another...

All in all, it's maddening!

I am wondering if this isn't yahoo! being self-controlling by forcing users to join Mail Plus, because if you notice in the yahoo mail options and you click on Pop and Forwarding, it makes you sign up....I'm starting to guess that is the case, and if so, am dropping Yahoo after 11 years..

well I am a Yahoo! Mail Plus user and I am having the same problems as everyone else, so I don't think that's it.

I am having the same problems and have been through all the troubleshooting suggestions. My mail started acting "weird" a couple months ago, was sporatic at best and now doesn't function at all. I went to Apple, had them wipe out my entire phone, set it back up which worked for about a week. The tech told me if it started to not work again, I'd probably need to upgrade the phone, which I did last week. $300+ later, the push worked for about 3 hours and hasn't worked since last Thursday. I've deleted the account, hard resetted it, changed the notifications then put them back - it won't even fetch at the designated times. It's making me NUTS!!!! I'm convinced it's a yahoo problem that has arisen since the IOS upgrade. I'd really like someone to fix this - it really is unacceptable!

OK - so I spent about an hour on the phone with Yahoo today. The CSR could not have been nicer or tried harder to try to solve the problem - but then had to admit that Yahoo has a problem pushing mail to the iphone. She admitted it started when iOS5 went into service. She further said that, as far as she knows Yahoo is NOT actively trying to solve the problem. She then talked about how she used to work at Apple and how they are to difficult to work with Yadda-yadda-yadda.....told her I didn't want to hear it. She was sympathetic and honest but the bottom line, according to her, is that this is a Yahoo issue and they appear to be doing nothing to solve it.

I hope someone reading the board can come up with something different - but ultimtely the only way to solve the issue is to move your email hosting somewhere else - or "pull" your email and forget about push.

Ridiculous!

I'm getting sick of yahoo. Perhaps it's time to change to gmail much as I despise google. Even on my laptop I have script errors in yahoo. Ugh. The thought of changing email accounts is daunting, but it seems like the time has come. :(

Hi new at this but here goes, I have been driven mad by not having the email push working on Yahoo / Btinternet, So the only thing I have found that will resolve the issue though messy is to forward your Yahoo account to a Icloud account. At least this way you do not have to tell everybody you have changed your email address and you get push back

Yahoo need to sort this or they will lose all their customers as push email is so important these day's, I hope this helps. But if anybody comes up with a proper fix let me know.

I only have iCloud on my iPhone and iPad as I have not upgraded my Mac to lion yet. Can I still do what you suggest? If so, how?

For getting Yahoo mail pushed and to recieve notification:

Settings -> Notifications, from the "In Notification Center" remove the "Mail"

Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Fetch New Data -> Push (ON)

Advanced -> Your Yahoo Mail -> Select "PUSH"

This worked for me. Hope in your case too.

Thanks...

You could try a gmail account, if you set that up on your Iphone and then test that the push is working on the gmail account then all you will need to do is go on to your Yahoo account on your MAC and do the following:

Option (Top of the screen)

Select POP Forwarding and type your Gmail account in the box for forwarding.

You will get an email to request you verify the email address and there you go.

Thanks for the info, did not work for me but thanks for the info as I have now realized how to update the notification screen.

Ok Folks... I don't know what the problem is? I did once have a problem with Yahoo pushing to my iPhone 4 back when I upgraded to iOs5... but then iOs 5.0.1. seams to have fixed that problem. I have no problem what soever with Yahoo pushing to my phone (knock on wood), so far!... Could it be that variations with the diferent Yahoo servers? For example, I have a Canadian Yahoo account (.ca), and my spouse has a french one (.fr) and both of us have no problems with push. We also have the latest online 'uppgrade' to Yahoo... I really don't know! I do however like all the good feedback on this disscussion! Good luck to everyone having dificulty! I will advise if I encounter any future problems! Cheers.
