Help Emails not being pushed through

[bbnfbchick]

Hi!! I'm a newbie! I bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 less than a week ago (through Straight Talk). I have two email accounts (both Yahoo). I have both accounts set up so emails come through every 5 minutes, but it's not happening. They only come through when I hit the 'refresh' button. I've restarted the phone and I've done a battery pull, and I have the same issue. What am I not trying?

Thanks!!

You're not reading all the reports of Yahoo Mail being "fixed" again. (We can't use the word I'm thinking of on this forum.) Maybe they'll get it right before the new year.

I ended up googling this and this is what I found: Go to settings, data usage, menu, make sure 'auto sync data' is checked. It worked!!
