Unless you already download Yahoo Go, your only option on the Q right now is Yahoo Plus, which is simply a pop email system - it doesn't push. The new Yahoo Go 2.0 isn't available for WM5 and they discontinued access to the cab file for the previous version.

I played around with Yahoo Go for a couple of days, but didn't want a Yahoo-centric experience on my Q, so I uninstalled it and simply went with Yahoo Plus using the built-in resident email client. If and when Yahoo Go 2.0 is available for the Q, and if it provides true push email I will give it a try again. I don't think the first iteration of Yahoo Go provided TRUE push email - I have read posters on other strings say that it did, but I think I recall a setting up polling frequency as I did the Yahoo Go install, which is not push.
