Hey Dave, i can’t seem to get your tip to work. This is what i did:
Settings –> Mail –> Add Account… –> Other

Incoming Mail Server
Host Name: imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com
User Name: email address user name (minus @yahoo.com)
Password: p/w for yahoo

Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
Host Name: smtp.gmail.com
User Name: email address user name (minus @gmail.com)
Password: p/w for gmail

When i click on “Save”, it says “Verifying IMAP account information”. After a while, i get this error prompt: “Cannot Connect Using SSL - Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL - Yes/No”

So what is your SSL settings (under Advanced) ?

Thanks!

I kind of got Yahoo! push mail to work. I realized that once i got YouTube on iPhone working, i could set up Yahoo! mail using the default settings. Yahoo! Push mail does not seem to work consistently. Sometimes i get a new email immediately, sometimes i don’t.

ktula:
I haven’t. Though, I doubt it would work as most push IMAP services require special software to be installed on the server equipment of the cell network.

Have you tried configuring Yahoo! push email to work using a T-Mobile SIM?
