Yahoo mail not pushing with iOS 6?

Push just started randomly working for me over the weekend. I'm not sure how long it will work for, but I really didn't do anything to get it working.

I had the same problem and I took out the Yahoo account from my ipad. When I tried to instal ir again, for my surprise, the account returned to the list of email accounts and then all my yahoo messages entered to the mail box! Lets see till when it will work.

It seems that the communication interface between outside email accounts (Gmail, Yahoo, etc) and iOS is tempermental. It does not help that Yahoo does have a straight story:

• Frank G from DF has a response from Yahoo that says Push = ON and Fetch =/= Manual, no explanation on why.
• Yahoo Help says that Push "is not relevant to Yahoo!'s services", Item 6 in the second part of the July 2012 post: http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?page=content&id=SLN6013&actp=search&viewlocale=en _US&searchid=1353080704018&locale=en_US&y=PROD_MAIL_ML. anilsudhakaran noted this as well. Or the August 2012 post: http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?page=content&id=SLN8433&actp=search&viewlocale=en _US&searchid=1353082936496&locale=en_US&y=PROD_MAIL_ML.
• We have numerous examples here of people having Push working.

I have not solved mine yet having tried various "fixes". If I sort it out I will update the post.

I had a similiar problem after downloading iOS 6. My email was not pushing through and my phone kept asking me for the password. I would enter it and would receive message that there was a server problem. I had to go into my yahoo account profile and re-set my password. Once I reset my yahoo password... I deleted and then re-added the yahoo account on my iphone with my new password. All is working fine for now. Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

Push notifications stopped working for me today. I didn't do nothing it just stopped like that. I always had problems with push and yahoo on Ios5 but since ios 6 came out everything was working fine until today. This is getting very frustrating!

Just wait. Yahoo will get it started again.

From Friday 21Dec both ipad and iPhone yahoo mail is failing to receive. Both cn send emails.

I have deleted ipad account and reinstated. Nothing. I have addied imap as discussed in forums. Nothing. Just fails to update inbox when I know I have email there.

I setup another account and its works fine, but my 20 year email address has failed.

I downloaded d yahoo app as temp measure until its fixed.

Any suggestions.

My friend is having the same problem with her iphone 4. All I did was go in and turn her Location Services back on and her Yahoo e-mail started working again.

Mine stopped working arount the same time on both my iPad and iPhone. For a while doing things like deleting and re-adding worked, but now push is broken on both. I believe something got hosed on Yahoo's end for some people. Supposedly Yahoo is "working on it", but I really doubt that.

Im still having the same problem with my iPad and my Iphone 4s. An update from iOS 5 to iOs 6 has been done on both units. The Y!Mail account was already on the iPad and newly setup on the iPhone after the update. On the iPad the push is not working and my last email was from the 16.10.2012 even though I know that I had recieved E-mails after this date and had read these too. The Y!Mail account wont even setup on the iPhone with the error that the server is not reachable. If I save the settings it keeps asking for the password continuely. I have set the network settings back on both units, changed the password, logged on per Safari and re-setup the account multiple times (on the iPad it will delete but is instantly there again on refresh if I am online, could it be an iCloud problem too?) without any change. Before doing this I tried the Y!Mail MailApp which works on both units and setting up Yahoo with out the standard Yahoo settings (manuelly setting the data to imap.mail.yahoo.com instead of apple.imap.mail.yahoo.com) which also worked on both units. The web portal was no problem on both. But I still can not use the Standard Yahoo setup on both units, what I have not done yet is reinstalled both units from a backup, which I wont do due to there being software on them from my company which I dont know if it will also be restored, due to it not being installed from my Apple account.

Apple and their iOS are terribly close to becoming the Microsoft I was not so fond of. Just POS every way coming from Apple.

What does Yahoo and their authentication servers have to do with Apple and iOS? Do you think that Yahoo is running their mail servers on iPads?

I have tried everything and I am getting no mail. I finally gave up and downloaded the yahoomail app.

Trust me....it's not Yahoo's fault.

Our personal inbox - in some ways - receives infected files via image or file attachments which seem to affect iOS, Androids, ISP's, even our carriers (believe it or not!)

An I.T. Staff from work suggested the only remedy is this:

-Delete your personal yahoo account from iPad/iPhone.

-From your PC or Safari, login to your Yahoo account and try deleting some unread 'subscription' emails, empty your spam mailbox, empty trash as well. Or delete any email with a dodgy attachments.

-Then logged off from your yahoo account on ALL devices - PC's, iOS's Safari or Android devices.

-Turn off iPad or iPhone.

-Switch it back on.

-Wait from 30mins to a couple of hours - before reinstalling your yahoo account in the iOS general settings. And be patient!

-Reinstall yahoo email into your iOS device as usual.

Now, there's a 'better' chance this will work. Otherwise, just try it again.

I hope this helps.

What pure drivel. It is not a virus, there are none that currently exist that affect a non-jailbroken iPhone. It is Yahoo's problem which has been recurrent for years.
