Fixing Yahoo Mail Push Problem on iPhone

For the last few weeks, the Mail functionality has been broken on my iPhone. When looking at the Inbox, I had one message that said “Load another 25 messages…”, and selecting this did nothing. I scoured the web, and found a couple of possible solutions: resetting the iPhone, removing the mail account and setting it up again, but neither of these worked for me. Finally, though, I have found a solution and can enjoy Mail again:

  • log into Yahoo! Mail on your desktop machine, not your iPhone.
  • Create a new folder called temp

Adding a new folder in Yahoo! Mail

  • Choose the ‘Select All Messages’ option from the ‘More Actions’ menu in your Inbox

Selecting all messages in Yahoo! Mail

  • Move messages to the temp folder

Moving mail to temp folder in Yahoo! Mail

  • Check on your iPhone that your Inbox is empty: you may need to refresh
  • Move messages back from temp to Inbox

Bingo!

Useful Smart Playlists for iPhone

If you have a large music library on your computer, it won’t necessarily fit on your iPhone or iPod. Instead of syncing your whole library, it’s worthwhile being a little more selective with the tunes that you want to listen to on the move. To this end, I have two smart playlists set up that I sync with my iPhone:

1. Wheat, No Chaff

iTunes smart playlist for picking tunes by rating

This chooses tunes that I have rated 3 stars or above

2. Recently Added

iTunes smart playlist for picking tunes by rating

This playlist picks new music that I have added to my library in the last fortnight.

So a combination of these playlists results in a good mix of great tracks, and new stuff. You can choose to syncronise only selected playlists in the Music tab of your Device:
