I was also having problems with Push on my Gmail account. I thought just having IMAP enabled in the Gmail settings menu was enough. I then read a post somewhere in this form (I forgot where). The post stated that you must also choose the selection: Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on. I enabled that setting in Gmail, via my laptop. My Push is now blazing fast. It's amazing to me, how we can learn something new everyday.
Kudos to the forum, another problem solved!!! Mark
Constantly having to be tethered to a charger is NOT MOBILE in my opinion (I.e., iPhone 3GS battery).

My yahoo mail already has pop enabled.

Its odd it that this just stopped working for the most part after 2.0 upgrade.

Have you tried deleting and reinstalling your yahoo account on your phone??? Maybe that will help. If that fails, try calling AT&T and get them to reprovision your data package. An Apple rep told me, that sometimes solves the problem also...Good Luck, Mark

I have tried reinstalling my account on the iphone manually. But when i do that, the only folder i have then is my "inbox"...no sent, trash, etc.
So, I had to use standard iphone method of doing my yahoo mail account...no difference. UGH

Go to the settings menu in gmail and click the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab. You can configure your Gmail to be POP/IMAP there. You have to do that on a computer and not the iPhone. You then put the IMAP settings (Which are included in the Gmail settings menu that you just visited) on your iPhone. It's seems harder than it really is to set up. If you need help, PM me and I will give you my messenger address to walk you through it....Mark
