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
- Choose the ‘Select All Messages’ option from the ‘More Actions’ menu in your Inbox
- Move messages to the temp folder
- Check on your iPhone that your Inbox is empty: you may need to refresh
- Move messages back from temp to Inbox
Bingo!

Google shows just the content of the meta description tag, whilst Yahoo also adds some content from the top of my blog.

An interesting comparison of what content the two main search engines have chosen to display for my blog:

Google seems to have just picked up the footer of my site , whereas Yahoo has picked up the header, some post content and the footer.
At the moment, there is no meta description on the page which I’ll add soon to see how the listings change.

Yahoo! reject Microsoft bid
What’s Yahoo’s plan B?
It’s highly likely that we’ve already heard Yahoo’s plan B on its earnings conference call just before the Microsoft bid. Given that fact this Yahoo rejection is really just the start of negotiations. Yahoo has turned down Microsoft, but the game is far from over.
Yahoo reportedly says no to Microsoft, but the game is far from over
