I got a new 920 and it annoyed me coming from a Blackberry that Yahoo Mail cannot use Push, only checking 15 minutely. I found a way around it so I thought I'd post it to help others.

So I went to Yahoo Mail online, into 'Mail Settings' then into 'Pop & Forwarding'. You can set the email to forward to a hotmail account (your current one or a dedicated account); so Yahoo push it straight there and Hotmail pushes it straight to the phone . It was about a 1 second delay arriving on my Blackberry compared to coming directly :grin:

If you use your yahoo online then you can set it to store the email on your yahoo and mark it as read if you want to continue to view your emails online there. :grin:

Hope it helps someone! :grin:
