As per instructions listed here http://www.iphonewzealand.co.n…..ur-iphone/ I have had my Xtra Mail reliably pushing to my phone. In the last 3 days, I noticed that this has stopped. I have deleted the account and re-added, wiped and restored my phone but it does not want to push
Is anyone else having the same issue?

Same.
Whats the difference between Push and Fetch? Is it Push = Yahoo will push it to me, and Fetch = iPhone will fetch it (which seems more reliable but consumes more battery?

Push – When the mail server receives a new message, it immediately pushes that message to your device.
Fetch – Every x minutes your device checks the server for new messages.
Manual – Your device checks for messages when you open the mail app.
As I understand it. Push needs to keep a connection with the server, so fetch tends to use a bit less battery and slightly less bandwidth. If you want messages instantly then push is the best option. If it doesn't matter when you get your messages then fetch or manual is fine.
