Nothing mentioned about this 8.1 improvement

[SatinSpellbinder]

I've heard no mention of one unforeseen improvement which has come with 8.1.
Previously my AOL and Yahoo email a/cs - which I use most - could only be pulled (every 15 minutes).
Only my Gmail and Microsoft a/cs were pushed email.
This was a pain as I run a women's support group and often need to see immediately if someone needs help.
Wasn't a problem with my previous BlackBerry, obviously, so I was really disappointed that Windows couldn't push my most important mail (only had my 925 for 3 weeks).

Installed the 8.1 developer's and voila! ALL my email accounts are being pushed to me upon arrival :smile:
So I'm a very happy bunny, love Windows, love my phone, love the update and after 3 Androids and 2 BlackBerries will never go back to either. Plus yes, I love my iPad but wouldn't have an iPhone either.

Did everyone else know about the push mail change?

I don't see this. I use yahoo and the sync settings are unchanged in the windows mail client. 15 min or according to your usage are my options. Did you get something different? I have a Nokia icon.

I noticed it while checking my synced emails when I first updated to 8.1. I love this idea...except Yahoo is still in the 15 minute category and not as items arrives. Every other email setups have this option.

I think only yahoo paid version does push

If you press "according to my usage," a menu should come up, one of which is "as items arrive."

I don't get that option on my icon. It actually causes it to change to 30 minutes and promises battery savings.

I see my Gmail account has the setting, but not yahoo. Oh well, no biggie.

Yup...I got this too on my Lumia 720 and I love it!

Glad you are enjoying your Lumia 925 with windows phone 8.1 :wink:

I was just going to create a thread about this. The earliest I get yahoo mail is every 15min. I really don't understand these settings. Any and all email should be delivered when sent. I don't understand why there would even be an option. Data? It uses next to nothing and having a setting to turn it off. Done.

Is windows phone 8.1 update still live?? Anyone??? My battery is draining like water fall. Will hard reset solve my problems

Actually this has been discussed in other threads. You get 4 email accounts you can push to or "as items arrive" the 5th one will not allow for that option.
