hi all,

does yahoo provide whatever service is necessary to push its webmail to an email client, such as the n900 in this case?

regards

No. To get yahoo imap on your phone, you would need to upgrade your yahoo account.

No you don't
You can use Nokia Messaging. Free Yahoo IMAP
Yahoo made a special IMAP server for Nokia Messaging

Setup Yahoo email at Nokia Messaging - http://email.nokia.com

Signin to Nokia Messaging on the N900 and you're good to go with Yahoo push email.

Best free email provider on the Net! Just one feature that I miss is 'folders-in-folders'

Has anyone actually got Nokia messaging to work on the N900?

When you get the link sent through as a text, the website won't autodetect Maemo and only gives you the choice of Symbian OSs to install.

Can anyone advise here?

You don't need to get a link as text from the website.
Nokia Messaging already embedded in the N900.

Tap 'New Account' and choose Nokia Messaging from the list.
Then just signin to your Nokia Messaging account and you're good to go.

I got mine working fine by doing that.

It isn't showing up in my accounts list. I've been trying for a week to figure this out, but no results. How are you getting to it, and what country are you in? I'm in the US.
