I have an N900 with yahoo mail push running over Nokia Messaging...but i'm running the Global firmware...reflash to the Global firmware...if you have bought the phone in india..thats the reason why you dont have nokia messaging support...for me it runs smooth no hiccups...

I believe I have Yahoo Mail over IMAP working on the N900 over both GPRS and WiFi.
I originally followed the Wiki of setting it up over GPRS first which works, but its still wouldnt connect over WiFi.

First to note is that from the N900 email app, I chose 'Other' as the mail type.
I used the settings from the Wiki [http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Email_Opt...Mail_and_IMAP],
but ALSO had to enable the Secure Authenticaion option, which I think was off by default.

Additional options are in RED which works for me without using Nokia Messaging.

Incoming Server - imap.mail.yahoo.com

Secure authentication - tick or enable

Incoming Port - 993 (requires SSL)

Outgoing Server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com

Secure authentication - choose Login

Outgoing Port - 465 (requires SSL)

Username: full email address (e.g., bill@yahoo.com)

Password: is the password you login to Yahoo! with

I love you. If you tell anyone I said that, I'll deny it.

You're a god.

Hee hee, no worries man, your praise just made my day

let's spam yahoo because they force us to upgrade to Plus!( they want our money... ) )

!! SOLUTION !!!

I have it for Yahoo! e-mail without having mail Plus and GMail.


Region: your country
Service Provider: other
Account: Yahoo


IMAP4 account settings:


account title: Yahoo
name: myuser@yahoo.com
username: myuser@yahoo.com
pass: ****** (yahoo password)
e-mail: myuser@yahoo.com
Account type: IMAP4 !!!! NOT POP3 !!
incoming server (imap4): imap.mail.yahoo.com
Secure authntification: uncheck
secure connection: SSL (IMAP4S)
port: 993
outgoing server (SMTP) :smtp.mail.yahoo.com

Secure auth.: login
user name: myuser@yhoo.com
pass: ****** (yahoo password)

secure connection: ssl
port: 465

use connection-specific SMTP: uncheck.


GMail

Region: your country
Sercive Provider: Gmail
Account title: Gmail * the filed will be auto completed

-name: myusername@gmail.com
-username myusername@gmail.com
-passworg; ******** (gmail password)
-e-mail address: myusername@gmail.com * this field will be auto competed too.

The account is finished to setup.

- additional details about GMail account (optional - this details are auto, because you choose Gmail instead "other" like on yahoo account)

-incoming server imap4: imap.gmail.com (field will be unavailable to change)
-secure authentification: uncheck
-secure connection: SSL (imap4s) (field will be unavailable to change)
-port:993
-outgoing server (smtp): smtp.gmail.com
-Secure authentication: login
-username: yourusername@gmail.com
-password: ******* (your gmail password)
-secure connection : ssl
-port: 465
-use connection-specific smtp servers: unchecked

Update : GMail reading e-mails problem...SOLUTION!

I think many of you have problems reading GMail email. A mesage like "cannot retreve..bla bla bla" That's because of IMAP. It must be changed in pop3.And will not work by editing your existing account So...

1. Delete your current Gmail Account.
2. Create a new account. Hit Next

>Region: your country
>service provider: Other (do not choose GMail like before!)
>Account title: GMail (type it)
-----------------
>Name: youruser@gmail.com
>Username: youruser@gmail.com
>Password: ********** (your gmail password)
>Email: youruser@gmail.com
-----------------
> Account type: POP3 (leave it unchanged)
>Incoming Server: pop.gmail.com
* Secure authentification: Checked
>Secure connection: SSL (POP3S)
-------------------
>Outgoing Server: smtp.gmail.com
>Secure auth. Login
>Secute connection: SSL

3. Finish
