Is Yahoo Push email working consistently for anyone?

There are several threads about people having problems with Yahoo Push email. Many solutions have been offered, but posts seem to indicate done of them work consistentl and over time. I am wondering if this is just an isolated problem some people (including myself) are having, or if it is really widespread and not working for all or most people, but a lot of folks just don't care. People who have reported this to Apple and/or Yahoo seem to be told this is not a known problem.
So, if you do have Yahoo Push email working consistently could you give a brief reply to let the rest of us know it is something unique to our setup, use, or account.
Thanks.

Call iPhone tech support, and ask them to log a case for you. Be warned, however, that this doesn't seem to help... but let us know if Apple are able to provide an update that's worthwhile. Last time I called I was put through to a product specialist who -seemed- really interested in the issue, asked me to try some things (none of which helped, and all of which have been tried here by others) and call them back with results. Tried them, called back two or three times and left a message with the results, never heard back from them...
On previous calls I'd been told it was probably a Yahoo problem and to call them... Yahoo pointed me back to Apple. A common result from what I read here.

Will it get rectified and restored...if so after how long. What could be the reason for such outage kindly share, as I am facing real problem because of this...

Reliability and Speed of Yahoo Push Email

Is anyone else finding Yahoo "push" email to be unreliable?
I find when it works, it works well, and I get emails that I send from a home email server in less than 1 minute. However sometimes it seems to fail completely or take a very long time. By fail I mean that the push fails, I can still pick up the email with a manual email poll.
I have ""Auto-Check" set to manual. So the only email that should work without a manual poll.
I'd be interested to hear the experiences of others?

I was unable to get Yahoo to recognize a different Reply-to: address, even when that was set up using the Yahoo web interface. That, plus the fact that it adds an ad at the bottom of each email made it a non-starter for me.
After a bit of a struggle, I was able to get Gmail set up and working just fine. Yes, you don't get the push mail, but hopefully they will add push IMAP at some point and all these problems will be moot.

Is QGtkStyle working correctly for anyone? [SOLVED]

I installed QT 4.4.0 today and qgtkstyle-svn from AUR. qgtkstyle seems to only be halfway working. Colors and fonts are doing pretty good, as well as some of the widgets. But there are things like borders in the QT windows where things are 'flat' in GTK. Is this working correctly for anyone, or is it too early to expect proper results?

I havent tried the arch package personally but it should already be working very well for most themes including Clearlooks when compiling from source. It would be helpful if you could post an issue here:
http://code.google.com/p/qgtkstyle/issues/list ith a screenshot outlining the problem and the name of your current GTK theme.
Note that the style is still work in progress so you should expect some rough edges.

Yahoo push not working on iphone4 .All has been great until about 4 days ago. Push is not working for yahoo mail currently.

Does yahoo push not work for bulk mail folder?

I don't seem to be having any problems with yahoo push in my Inbox, but it doesn't seem to be working for my bulk mail. I have to actually go into my bulk mail folder for it to update. Is this normal? Thanks!

That is normal activity. Works the exact same way on tests phones we have set up. Bulk/junk mail is not something that all would like getting pushed through.

Iphone yahoo push email

is there definitely a plan for apple to fix the yahoo push problem? mine works infrequently but does work sometimes. most of the time i need to retrieve the email. this was the reason i switched to yahoo email.

Push is an IMAP account protocol - check the following:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push-IMAP
And the responsibility for implementing/providing this protocol is with an email account provider.
The service that RIM providers for Blackberry customers is unique. Apple may choose to provide the Push protocol for .Mac accounts but I think it is unlikely that Apple will develop and provide the same as RIM does for Blackberry customers.
I access an IMAP account (.Mac) and a POP account with my iPhone. I have no problems whatsoever with having my email accounts automatically checked for new messages every 15 or 30 minutes and if need be, I can manually check for new messages available.

No yahoo push email

With iPad, there appears to be no way to set up push email for Yahoo. My iPhone does it no prob, but there is not even an option for Yahoo push, only fetch and manual. Any ideas?

Emailed yahoo, here's what they had to say:
"Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Mobile.
I understand that you are not able to use the push functionality when
using your iPad with Wi-Fi only, though it works on the iPad with 3G
capabilities. I am happy to address this with you.
We are continually working to make Yahoo! Mobile the best mobile
experience available. Unfortunately, push is not available via Wi-Fi. I
apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. However, I am
sending your product suggestion to the Yahoo! Mobile Product Group for
review."

Yahoo Push email

Hi
is there anyway I can get push email on my n96, i am currently using yahoo for my emails and would like to keep this
Cheers

To be used with any Push service, your e-mail account needs to have POP or IMAP access to incoming mail and SMTP for outgoing - I think these are a paid-for extra service with Yahoo.
If you hav that already, try: https://email.nokia.com/

Nokia at their best again. Nokia support is abysmal and in many cases non-existent. Take for example a level 2 tech telling me to do a 3 finger reset which then wiped all my Web Video Widgets - which Nokia can't supply - and removed Qt from the phone so I can no longer install or use Ovi Store - which they, too, can't supply.
As to this being a bug with Gmail they are talking nonsense. I have my E71 sitting alongside my N8 and the E71 has always worked flawlessly with Mail for Exchange on my old phone, even my N95. On the other hand, N8 crashes when you reply to emails using MfE and Imap doesn't support push mail. They released this phone without thorough testing to stem the flow of negativity and to please their shareholders. They forgot about the most important link in this chain - us. Without us the company will not last. Period.

Email pushing not working correctly for office email - 3 seperate devices/carriers

We switched email hosts several months ago and since our email pushing has not worked correctly. Our host/IT guy has been very unwilling to help me through this (I get the pleasure of being the in-house IT source)
I personally am on AT&T have no problems with the other 3 emails I have set up on my blackberry. However I receive my work account one time a day at roughly 6:15. Another user is on Alltel and he receives spotty emails throughout the day, but his gmail account comes through instantly. The third user is on nextel and he receives his 2-3 times per day.
I began to think this was an email host issue since the three of us are all on different carriers, until I found out a fourth user, also on nextel, receives his emails fine.
Users 1-3 are on Outlook 07 on various versions of the Curve. We have all our messages to stay on the server.
User 4 is on the older nextel blackberry push to talk, and is not on outlook.
We do not have an exchange server. Our emails were all set up through our devices.
Any suggestions? The answers I have received through our carriers is to make sure that our messages are set to be left on the server. Everyone else at the office has given up - but for me this is the quest for the Holy Grail.......I'm determined find the answer!
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Potential solution for windows for a side-by-side install. This works for me.
To setup a firefox install side by side so that links from external programs (like email) can open (so you don't get a "Firefox is already running but is not responding" message) do the following.
The solution entails the use of the -no-remote switch. Don't use it for the default browser. Use it for the non default browser.
I'll use firefox 3.6 and firefox 4.0 as examples but this should work for future versions.
+ Install firefox 3.6 and Firefox 4.0 in different directories. Eg.
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 4\firefox.exe
+ Open profile manager. Start > Run : firefox.exe -ProfileManager
+ In profile manager create Two Profiles.
firefox3.6
firefox4
+ In profile manager select firefox 4 as your default (assuming you want to default to the latest) and tick "Don't ask at startup"
+ Create two windows shortcuts.
* General: Mozilla Firefox 4 (default). Shortcut > Target: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 4\firefox.exe". Shortcut > Start In: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 4"
* General: Mozilla Firefox 3.6. Shortcut > Target: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p firefox3.6 -no-remote. Shortcut > Start In: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox"
That's it. Links from external programs should now open in your default browser.

New v1.1.1 feature - turning off Yahoo "push" email

Not sure if anyone has mentioned or noticed this, but if you have a yahoo account, when you click on your account, then click on "advanced", there is an option to turn "on" or "off" push mail.

Thanks Nathan. As I understand it, that is for international roaming.
I spend a lot of time in the Adirondacks, where I am roaming in the sense that I am using an AT&T "partner network," and two consecutive months of off-network domestic roaming in excess of their pretty stingy allotment can get you terminated, so I wish EDGE could be disabled there too, but it can't.
So next best is to disable all but one heavily filtered email account and stay away from widgets and web sites [g].

Yahoo Push not working....I think.

Greetings all.
Got a yahoo account.
I send it mail.
My Iphone does nothing...doesn't wake up or notify me. If I "wake" the phone, go to Yahoo Mail...hit refresh...then my phone gives me an alert right away.
Yahoo site support has not been too helpful. If someone has this figured out, I'd love to know. Didn't see anything in searches directly on point.
Thanks

I'm also having problems with my Yahoo! Mail account, no push. I've called Apple and they don't have a resolution, as well as, emailing Yahoo! I have (3) Yahoo! accounts (1-Plus & 2-Free) and none of them are working.
My have something to do with Yahoo! servers. BeeJive is haveing probles with people not being able to connect with Yahoo! Messenger accounts in their app because of some updates to the Yahoo! Servers.
Hopefully there will be a fix soon. If anyone hears about one, please let us know. Thanks.

Can't turn off Yahoo Push Email Features

I have a Yahoo Mail Plus account, and with this service, my home and laptop computers download mail from the Yahoo POP server on a regular basis. As with any mail client and POP mail, each client sees the mail as unread until I read it on that machine.
However, Yahoo Mail Plus, when accessed online, sees the downloaded messages as read. This would be fine, but it also results in my iPhone thinking I never have new/unread mail -- so even if I have 20 new message, if they have been downloaded by my desktop computer, the Mail app on my iPhone will say there are no new messages (the messages are on the iPhone, but they appear as already being read). The crazy thing is, this happens even when I turn off the general push and Yahoo account specific push settings on the iPhone. I wish I could get my iPhone to treat my Yahoo mail the same as all my other POP mail accounts, but it appears the clever people at Apple and Yahoo don't allow this to happen. Anyone have any ideas on how to make my iPhone mail app treat my Yahoo Mail Plus account like a normal POP account?

Sure Apple and Yahoo allow this, but it is up to the user to know the difference when creating the account. This is called garbage in = garbage out, which happens to everyone on occasion.
When creating a Yahoo account with the Yahoo account preset on the iPhone, the account is created as an IMAP account with Push access. Turning Push access off for recieved messages doesn't change or switch the account to a POP account. It is still an IMAP account with Push access turned off.
You want to access the account as a POP account. If so, delete your Yahoo account on the iPhone and when re-creating the account select "Other" instead. After the data entry on the first screen, select POP as the account type followed by entering the required settings for accessing the account as a POP account.

HTML email working except for jpg

I have an 8320 (T-Mobile) and I recently upgraded to OS 4.5. My HTML email is now working with the exception of jpg. I am seeing all the fonts, colors, & even bmp images. However, the jpg images will not load. When I select "get image" or "get images" from the menu, I see the data arrows move for a few seconds but the images never load. Any ideas?

HAH. Fixed it myself. This is what you can do.
Settings > Accounts and services > Add account > (503 Service unavailable) > (instead of freaking out, choose OTHER ACCOUNT or Microsoft Exchange) > Enter account info. ex [email protected] and password then accept push settings. BOOOM, it works. You dont have to deal with crappy k9 email
MAKE SURE YOU UPDATED YOUR PHONE TO JELLYBEAN FIRST
