iPhone first gen. PUSH help!

[fireshot91]

i got the first gen. iPhone, i posted a thread about this, but it really didnt work...
my PUSH is NOT working, all my settings are on for PUSH, im in wi-fi, and i get 5 bars of service...im using a Yahoo! mail account, with the default server. i sent an email from my GMail and my Hotmail at the same time, about 10 mins ago. i STILL have not recieved them on the phone...its really getting me bugged, because when i found out i can push the mail STRAIGHT to my phone, i told everyone to email me instead of txt me..i only have 200 txts a month

Did you upgrade to 2.0.1? Cause I am having the same situation after I upgraded and its not receiving my emails, and will "check" for new emails forever and nothing new appears.

 

[fireshot91]

yes i upgraded to 2.0.1, but its not that its searching for mails, its supposed to continuesly search for mails...the PUSH function is on...i get the mail within 30 secs. if some1 from Yahoo! sends me an e-mail to my phone...but if some1 from g-mail/hotmail or any other service thats not Yahoo!, i dont get it, untill i manually search for it...this is not good....it was there in 2.0.0 to

Try deleting the account on your phone, and set it up again on your phone might do the trick.

k but BEFORE i posted that post above yours, i sent a mail from my g-mail to the yahoo thats linked to my phone..i STILL did not get it, that was like what 10-15 mins ago?, im going to try to delete the acc. and then add it again.

 

[fireshot91]

ok, i just deleted my acc off the phone, now i added it, im going to try sending myself an e-mail from my g-mail, but as soon as i added the account back, i got that first email i sent my self..(i think its because it searches right once you add a new acc)


EDIT: i got that g-mail in about 8 seconds...(i was counting lol) i think its working now!!! THANKS!

Yahoo push only works 50% of the time at best. If it was working for an extended period of time for you, consider yourself lucky.

My experience with the iPhone has been that the only mail service that gives reliable push is Exchange. I've used it with 2 different Exchange accounts and never had a single problem.
