What is up with Yahoo push??

[forever29]

I also have my Yahoo account linked to my blackberry and about 95% of the time I get my emails. I receive about 20-30 emails a day. Usually when I receive an email my berry gets it first and then my iPhone about 3 seconds later.

Actually, I pay for the upgraded "enhanced" yahoo email. I also have an exchange about with my job, and it has the same problems some time.

You are paying what $10 bucks a year for it? Like I said, get what you pay for. As far as your exchange not functioning properly is it just you having issues or does everyone have the issues every now and then? With my exchange account I have no issues what so ever unless there is planned downtime. Even MobileMe has been improved and is running nice and smooth. Not missing a single email. Knock on wood.

Well yeah... it's going to be included in todays "Today on the Forums" post.

Some people *may* have found that offensive, that's all.

Thanks for the responses. Can anyone else that is having unreliable Yahoo push try turning off 3G and see if that works? Since I turned off 3G I have been getting emails pushed nearly instantly for 3 days. I sent like 10 test emails today with 3G off and it worked fine. Once I turn 3G on, it stops pushing.

I have an unlocked iphone 3G on T-Mobile and for some reason, my push isn't working. I do not have the 3G on, (not like it would work anyway), and it doesnt push for nothing. Any idea's anyone? Also, I have my work email set up and i had to use the "Other" option when i set it up because for some reason, the Microsoft Exchange option would not work. The problem is the mail only come through on my iphone only if i have not looked at it on my work cpu. So basically, if i look at it on my work cpu, it wont come through at all on my phone. even if i click send receive. My co-worker have a wing, (a windows phone) and he does not have this problem. Also, when i had my blackberry, i did not have this problem either. Im a new iphone use and any help would be helpful.
Thanks!

I do the same. I pay $10 a year for that enhanced service with yahoo. Basically, I did it so I can use my Yahoo email address with Microsoft Outlook. I didn't want to keep logging onto Yahoo and plus if the internet ever went out I can still look up things in Outlook. Anyway, I'm basically using the Yahoo address for sports teams news, college applications, and signing into new accounts online (basically things that require email).

I'm hoping when I get my school address for college things will change.


and about turning 3G off..that's cool if it works but i find it stupid to have to turn a setting on an off to receive emails. anyway i use 3G all the time where i'm at and think 3G is more important than receiving a few lousy emails.

I agree but I just wanted to see if turning 3G off would help anyone else besides me. If it does, then maybe that would help determine where the problem is coming from.
