Yahoo! Mail Doesn't Push

OK, I set-up my existing Yahoo! e-mail account on my iPhone. I didn't get any kind of notification when new mail came in. I expect that's what push is all about, right? I don't think I'm supposed to have to launch the mail app and wait for it to check for new messages over the slow EDGE network constantly all day long. So, I found this post on Mac Forums:
[quote]Here are the steps I used with my existing free yahoo account:
1) on the iphone - main menu-> settings -> mail -> add account -> y! mail -> enter information -> save -> go back to accounts list and select the new account -> advanced -> in the settings (IMAP Path Prefix) enter imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com
2) Make sure the account is on.
3) Sometimes the "push" is within seconds, sometimes it takes a couple minutes. My guess is they're still working on the server from the yahoo side. It's only been active for 5 days, so give it some time.[/quote]
I tried that and my Yahoo! mail still doesn't push. Does anybody have any other suggestions?
By the way, this free Yahoo! account gets a lot of spam. If I upgrade to the Yahoo! Plus e-mail account, will I still be able to get push? Thanks.

Neil2,
I just moved my personal email from Cox to Yahoo on June 30 after getting an iPhone and have been doing a lot of tinkering and researching. So, I may be able to help. I've noticed that if I have more than one email account turned on on the iPhone then the "push" doesn't work (i.e., they can be setup, but disabled and it's OK). Also, I am using the Plus account and after 3 weeks have not received one single spam email, not even into the junk folder. So, Yahoo's filters appear to be working great. Lastly, with the Plus account, you can also use POP, so I set that up on my Mac. I'm not positive, but it appeared that if the Mac retreived email using POP, it would mark the email as unread on my iPhone. So, although the message would be there, the number indicator on the Mail icon would disappear.
As far as your quote . . . I don't understand why you're tinkering with the settings. You should just set it up simply using the Y Mail default on iPhone and it works fine. I've read in a few places that you can't simply put in the apple.imap server in the settings because there is some kind of encryption key being exchanged in the background to limit the imap use to iPhones and setting up an "other" account does not establish this type of connection. So, it won't work.
Good luck!

Yahoo mail is not pushing!!!!! Help

I have the push settings on. But everytime the phone sits around all day, it doesn't push. I have to always open up my mail to get it. Is it Yahoo or the phone's fault????

I had a call 3-wk's ago with an APPLE Applications Specialist regarding "PUSH" in general and learned the following:
1. Not all ISP's (in my case Verizon), provide PUSH capabilities.
2. Specialist dropped a few ISP's in the process and I don't believe YAHOO was one that provided PUSH(?) You will need to check with them or READ BELOW on what you can do to check this on your iPHONE...
3. Mobile.Me provides PUSH as does MS Exchange Server's and gmail
4. On a side note, there have been reported issues of "FETCH" not working as it should, whereas, it may not fetch at the selected intervals (15-min, 30-min, 60-min) and APPLE is aware of this
To CHECK and see if your ISP does SUPPORT "PUSH", do the following:
* SETTINGS > FETCH NEW DATA > Scroll down to ADVANCED field > Select the email account(s) field you have activated. (if you have deactivated one of your email accounts, as I do with my MS Exchange when I am in my home office in front of my laptop, you will have to activate it in order to check its PUSH availability out)
... from there, you will note two or three available fields (Fetch; Manual or PUSH), with a check mark by one of them.
... if your email account(s) only show "Fetch" or "Manual" as options, then your ISP does NOT support PUSH (as my Verizon FiOS ISP does not), therefore, you are limited to only "Fetch" capabilities
... if your email account(s) show all three options (Fetch, Manual & PUSH) then your ISP "HAS" PUSH capabilities... as does my business related MS Exchange server does.

On yahoo mail doesn't open online messenger contats windows when i want to chat

Yahoo Mail has a web messenger, in Firefox 8 all worked fine, but after upgrading to 9.0.1 when i click on a contact in my contacts list (to send a IM) nothing happens, in Firefox 8, when i clicked on a contact, a window opened and i could type my message, insert smiles... and send messages. So in Firefox 9.0.1 when i do the same thing nothing happens, no window appears and i can't type or send messages. Tried disabling adblockplus, but this didn't solved the problem.

Yahoo Mail Doesn't Work, What Do I Do?

I've been trying for hours now to try and get MAIL to work with my Yahoo Mail account. After heavy researching I found out that it will not work unless I use the POP Yahoo thing which costs $20 a year. Not worth it to me.
Then after more research I saw sites that has downloadable programs, all legal, which allows Yahoo mail to show up on MAIL on my new Macbook. I tried it and still not working.
I'm asking here now cause i dont know what to do. What options do I have? Get an email account from somewhere else? I heard google mail supports MAIL with Macs. But I love my Yahoo email, i use it daily often receving 50 or so important emails.
Any tips or advice would be great appreciated. Thanks

umm...i tried 2 i think.
one was called freepops something
the other was simply pop3
free downloadable from their site. it states the incoming server number which is something like 127.0.0.1 but its not working. after looking at past message boards i see im not the only one with that problem.
im new to the mac so...

Yahoo mail doesn't "sync" anymore with your online account?

I've read reports that people who have a Yahoo mail business account since upgrading to 3.0 on the iPhone can't get their accounts to sync with their online yahoo accounts anymore? Meaning if you send mail from the phone it won't show up in your sent folder if you access mail from your computer, etc? Is this only related to yahoo business mail or any mail account in general now? If so I'm not upgrading to 3.0, I like being able to access all my folders and everything from my phone, just as if I was using my computer. Actually if this is the case I might get rid of my phone period, this was one of the main reasons why I got this phone because it worked with mail just like my computer did.
Any input on this?
Thanks.

I also have a business account from Yahoo and I can't send messages. I am able to recieve but can't send out. It does the sound like it goes out but it goes no where. I contacted able and they are good for nothing. I contacted Yahoo business and they told me the problem. According to Yahoo Business when Apple came out with the new update they forgot to format something that has to do with business account since it's a diffrent server than the free yahoo. They told me Apple was working with Yahoo to try and get this problem resolved but nothing yet. For anyone who has Yahoo, I found it easy just to have my business emails forward to my Free yahoo email account. This way I get my email and can still send emails out. The only down fall is that your emails when replaying will show your regular email address not your business. If anyone knows how to get this problem fIxed please let us know.

Exchange mail doesn't push unless opened

Just got my iPhone 5s and setup my Exchange email on it. It's set to push email but it doesn't notify me of a new email unless I open the Mail app, then it syncs. I have an iPad 3 with ios 7 and it pushes just fine. Is there somewhere I can look to see why it's not pushing?
Thanks.

Reset your network settings.
This will also delete all your saved wifi networks and passwords, so please understand that before resetting the settings.
You could also try removing the Exchange account, rebooting your device and adding it again.

I updated to firefox 9.0.1 and my yahoo mail doesn't work with firefox. This is a serious issue for me.

A few days ago I updated to firefox 9.0.1, and when I am using firefox in the My Yahoo account, I can see my emails, but when I click on one to open it, I am asked to put in my password for yahoo. This shouldn't occur because it already know who I am because I can see my name there and my emails etc. When I put in my password it doesn't accept it.

The location bar is also known as the address bar, it is where you enter web addresses.
When it crashes does it submit any crash reports? If it does can you post some of the crash report IDs as that may help somebody identify the cause of the crashes. For details of how to get the crash report IDs see the [[Firefox crashes]] article.

Yahoo mail isn't pushing anymore?

I've had my iPhone 4s for about a month now and push email for yahoo was working fine up until about a week ago. I have an iPad 2 as well and it's not receiving any push notifications as we'll. Because of that I would assume that its yahoos problem but I'm not sure and I really don't want it to be my devices that are not working. I know others have this same problem and I've tried pretty much all the ways to get push to work again but none have worked. Does anybody have any fixes for this that are not obvious like enable push, delete then re add account, or reset phone because I've tried those a lot and I really don't want to go through resetting my devices anymore. So if anybody has talked with yahoo or has a definite fix for it please post it on here because i really need the push back. Thanks

Yahoo mail not being pushed to iphone.

I have the first gen phone with 2.0 update. Since then i do not get my yahoo email pushed to my phone. It says connecting at the bottom and has been for a few days and thats all. Anyone else having this problem and any ideas how to fix it?

Skydive: You are not alone. There are a bunch of threads out there on how to fix & improve the USB sync. I finally gave up, and am darned close to opting out for the Samsung BlackJack II my IT department wants me to have.
Many of the threads (here is one: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7769870#7769870) talk about removing all Apps, doing a full Restore, and then slowly building the phone back up as a solution. It seems that if you interrupt a sync, your backup files can get corrupted and make things a mess. People appear to have take 3hr syncs and reduced them to 10mins by following this process.
For me, even a 10min sync is unacceptable. My crappy old BB 7100g could sync my 6,000 contacts and 5 years of calendar in about 120 seconds.

If your Yahoo mail is not pushing...

... try turning off any other email accounts, and just leave Yahoo turned on. See if that does anything. Let us know.

At the moment it's working for me. I have 2 other email accounts set up (.Mac and Yahoo Small Business). I must say that it is not as consistent as I would like. Sometimes it works flawlessly and other times it takes a day for the email message to arrive!

Yahoo mail sent through Mail app do not appear when login into Yahoo mail

Hi everybody,
I have a problem that annoying me very much. I've used Yahoomail for very long before I bought a MBA. For the first time I use Mac OSX, I try to use Mac mail combine with my old Yahoo mail. Actually, I have done the config. But anything I do with my Yahoo mail through Mail app can't appear when I login into original Yahoo mail. For example: I sent a Yahoo mail through Mac mail, it's shown that the mail was sent sucessfully, but when I try to login into Yahoo mail on Web, the sent mail doesn't exist. And the same happen when I do the opposite: the mail I sent on Yahoo mail doesn't exist on Mac mail. It's a big trouble if I use other lap and try to contact with someone. So is there any solution can fix it?
Many thanks

I'm having the same problem, and the only help I ever seem to find suggested anywhere is "make sure its set up as an IMAP account"
BUT it is! Mail automaticly sets all yahoo accounts up as IMAP. So is this just a yahoo problem? Is there anyway to fix this?
For me the bigger issue isnt that I need to be able to check my e-mail through a web browser regulerly, but on my Iphone and Ipad the account, which is through the mail app, also dosnt show sent mail sent through the mac app.
I agree this makes mail on my mac totally usless.

Why can't i make attachments with yahoo mail in the newest Firefox?

i use yahoo mail. in the old versions of firefox it works perfectly. i use now firefox 3.6.25 if i upgrade to the latest firefox, yahoo mail doesn't work anymore. i can't attach anything. the button 'attach' stays grey and unclickable. it is the reason i don't upgrade. can someone help me? o i work on a macbook pro, with mac os 10.6.8 running.

Sorry, I don't have any other suggestions, except that I did find a thread on the Apple Discussions forum about a similar problem with Safari and Yahoo mail attachments:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3225265?start=45&tstart=0

Re: Safari doesn't work with yahoo mail: always getting beach ball<br>
Feb 7, 2012 10:15 AM (in response to Anamariela)
Well, my problem with Yahoo Classic is different--I cannot click on some of the buttons! Very weird. No beach ball, but when I attach files to send an email and click on "Attach Files", nothing. Same with a couple others.
Going to try to install the new Flash as Mark suggested. Anyone else have this issue?
I probably should change to Yahoo's newer mail app but I just prefer the Classic version.
You might want to read the other replies in that Apple discussion and try the suggestions ... or just contact Yahoo help, if no one else replies here.
