1.1.2 push mail works!

To my earlier posts about major volume improvements (and other posts about other fixes) now add another one. Yahoo push mail now works great, with less than 5 seconds to push email to the iPhone. Before it was off, on, etc. with apple blaming yahoo and vice versa. This is not a minor update- there are lots of fixes throughout. Getting 1.1.2 is a must.

Agree completely, but right now I am just really happy to have the many fixes 1.1.2 has. The volume improvement alone was just really huge and fixed a major flaw that really bugged me. The push mail fix is just icing on the cake. I bet we will find lots of subtle but important fixes throughout as people start to find them.

How does Yahoo Push mail work?

When you have the push mail option on, is the iPhone always connecting to the web looking for new mail?.....or does yahoo send it to the phone as soon as you receive it? Just curious as to how push mail will affect my battery life.

MobileDev wrote:
Whenever there's new mail, the server sends a response over the same connection. This is the "push" notification.
I don't think that's quite accurate.
From what I've been able to tell, Yahoo! Push is rather non-standard. Rather than using IMAP IDLE or standard P-IMAP, it uses a proprietary UDP-based form of out-of-band notification. When the phone gets one of these OOB notifications, then it opens a new connection to the IMAP server and checks for mail.
I suspect that many of the reliability problems stem from these OOB notifications not being sent/received correctly (packet loss, perhaps?)

Push mail to iPhone/iPad (iOS 5b3) Confirmed Working

After much fiddle ******* around and 15 clean installations and about 64 hours later, I can confirm that push mail DOES indeed work to the iPhone/iPad from Mac OS X Lion Server.
I still have configuration errors to resolve, but this is a down and dirty brief:
Clean install of Lion (Forget the fact Apple says it is an easy upgrade from SLS. You will shoot yourself...)
Install Server essentials and then download Server Admin Tools. (Or Server.app - depends on your preference)
Open Server.app - ensure that your hostname is correct.
Open ServerAdmin.
Set up DNS. (Note: Do yourself a favor and look at the Server.app help file and follow Apple's recommendation for related DNS entries, including all the SRV recommendations)
Ensure DNS is working properly.
Server.app Hardware, settings - turn it all on. Edit SSL first and make sure you have your self generated SSL cert selected.
Tick the enable push notifications option and hit edit.
Apply for / Download your push cert using the AppleID of the system (or yours if your don't have one for your server)
Restart
ServerAdmin - setup OD as master.
Open WGM - set up your user accounts and enable the basic services.
Configure Mail thru ServerAdmin (not Server.app)
Edit main.cf in postfix and remove the greylisting entry
I then went down the list starting with Address Book and enabled/configured the services and tested them out using client apps on another Mac. (Skip Profile Manager)
In the Web area, be prepared to beat your head against a wall.
Make sure you follow the various recommendations in other discussions - I had a few:
NameVirtualHost *:80
NameVirtualHost *:443
Must be in your httpd.conf file (Or the 00000.any.conf file suggestion if you prefer. The httpd.conf is centralized and much easier.)
In your web site setup area, Any, is the easiest setting versus a specific IP address (if you are only hosting one web server or have one IP this is the only way anyway)
Edit your indv site .conf files in /private/etc/apache2/sites
I use just the host name in DNS, such as example.com
in DNS make sure you have a correct Alias such as www.example.com
Edit your indvidual site file and under ServerName example.com make an entry on a new line: ServerAlias www.example.com
I moved my custom sites to /Library/WebServer/Documents by the way. (Strictly your preference here, but make sure your httpd.conf file states where your default directory is)
You can't change the server's default site in /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default
After all the services are configured/enabled configure/enable profile manager.
Sign the configuration profiles with your SSL cert
You can then open the Profile Manager and enable a few Profiles for you or whomever.
Just as in a few other posts, the https://server.example.com/mydevices is a blank page on iOS devices.
This is the workaround on an iPad:
On your device go to https//server.example.com
The server's main page will open (not your custom sites with any luck. If the custom sites open, start troubleshooting)
On the Server's page, click on the Profile Manager hyperlink on the bottom right of the page.
Then sign in when prompted
Then on the upper right of the page you should see Your Name with a menu arrow next to it.
Click your name/arrow
Down will pop a contextual menu.
Click Download Trust Profile
Install on your iOS device
Then navigate to your Name in the user pane (on left)
If you had previously set up your profile (on a desktop because that iPhone screen will make your eyes bleed) click Download under the profile Section.
Install on your device.
The usual trust this, enable this and that boxes will pop up. Just make sure you allow your server's SSL cert to be trusted.
After all this -
BOOM
Push mail works like a fkn champ!
I must say it's really **** fast. I have an Exchange account on my iPad as well and the mail from my Lion Server beats the Exchange mail account every time.
One caveat - I do have iOS 5b4 on my devices as a registered Apple Developer. And, the Team Profile is installed from apple. If these factors have any play in this - I don't know. Try it and report back. I am curious to see if this works on 4.3
It is 3:12 am and I tried to cover most of the steps in setting up push mail. I may have missed some due to my fatigue, but if I am more than willing to help anyone get their server setup. Just be kind and a) don't spam me and b) don't email me at o'dark thirty and expect a response. I am eastern standard time in Florida (USA).
iCal and Contacts work with push and are pretty **** fast as well.
To get around the blank mydevices page problem on an iPhone, you have to generate an Enrollment configuration profile and email it to your device (which is stupid because that means you have to have email on your device - which is why you are setting up mydevices to begin with)
First, however, you must download the Trust Profile and email it to the iphone. Install.
Then the enrollment profile
Install.
You should be in business after this. I still have a few bugs to work out, but at least I can confirm that the pushmail works. And well at that.
I will report more in the morning -
Good Luck
Scott

Followed your instructions on my iPhone running 4.3.5 and my iPad which is running iOS 5 beta 4... IT WORKS!
Thanks a lot!

Has anyone got Push mail to work after migration t...

Has anybody sucessfully got Push mail working after migration from BT Yahoo mail to the new BT Mail server?
I'm still on the old BT Yahoo mail server and Push mail works fine on my iPhone
But people have told me that once migrated to the new BT Mail server, Push mail isn't available
BT tell me that it is, but there's a couple postings on the web saying Push mail won't work
So, my question is, is there somebody out there who who has been migrated to the new BT Mail server and who can confirm they can still get their @btinternet.com address post-migration to work as Push mail on their iPhone or ipad devices?

There is no push mail on BTMail. Once you have been migrated to BTMail you will need to have your devices fetch emails. There is apparently no plans to change this.

How to Get Yahoo Push Mail to Work on the iPhone- Finally

I post this for the benefit of all of you struggling with this same problem and how to resolve it.
I talked to AppleCare this morning and this is what they said that Yahoo push start working- the first thing that has after spending several solid useless days trying every other recommendation on various forums, none of which worked. Here is what they said to do:
1. Restore completely, without having the backup restore onto the iPhone.
2. Delete all of your email accounts on the iphone (I did this first before doing #1 to see if the remainder would work without a restore, but it did not, but when I went back and did #1 first it worked).
3. Re-enter all of your e mail accounts, beginning with the non-yahoo accounts first- very important. Be sure to set up at this time whether you want them manually to check or every 15 minutes for mail, etc., BEFORE you set up or enter the Yahoo account.
4. Then, after the above, enter the Yahoo account.
The support guy told me that for some reason changing how often the send receive occurs (manually, etc.) AFTER first setting up the yahoo account somehow overwrites information for the yahoo account and keeps the push from working. He said he had solved the push for a number of people following the procedure, and I agree, it did work.
Whether it will keep working I am skeptical! Also, I meant to ask, but did not: Does this mean that if I now ever change how often the iPhone checks for mail will it now overwrite the yahoo information and cause the push to stop working again, meaning I have to do the above steps again.
Finally, the push is not instantaneous, but is in about 2 minutes or so, at least from what I have seen- a lot better than every 15 minutes.

Sorry it did not work for you. Call Apple at 800-myiphone- maybe they can help.

Push mail is not working for gmail and hotmail on ...

i have been using my nokia e72 since february 2011. i had two mailbox configured, gmail and hotmail. Until last week, everything was fine. but suddenly my push mail stopped working for both gmail and hotmail.
when i noticed this, i removed both of my mailboxes and tried to create a new one. when trying to create a Gmail mailbox, it goes fine upto "downloading terms". after that, when i choose to connect to "nokia messaging service", it creates a mailbox named "HOTMAIL" instead of "GMAIL". it takes only my user name for Gmail and rest of the settings are for HOTMAIL.
if i choose not to connect to "nokia messaging service" then it works quite well. but thats not real push mail. it will check my email every 5 mins. but when tried to create a "HOTMAIL" mailbox, i had no luck. no matter how i try, hotmail mailbox can't download my mail. and as hotmail don't support IMAP, its very disgusting to use "POP3" if i choose not to connect to nokia messaging.
i have tried to reset the phone using *#7370# and *#7730#, but no luck. i also tried reinstalling the firmware using ovi suite, but i didn't had any luck either.
please help me, i am very disappointed with this kind of problem specially from nokia.
someone please do help. i m in a huge mess.

delete the account and re-add it.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yup, by TOS I meant terms-of-service
As far as I know the way it works is that (1) your phone maintains a connection with (one of the) Nokia servers, so that as soon as the Nokia server has anything to say (e.g. "new e-mail"), your phone gets it; and (2) the Nokia servers fetch your e-mails so that (1) can work.
Now, I don't know how (2) works. In theory the Nokia server should act like an IMAP client, and should be using IDLE in order to fetch the e-mails as soon as the server gets them.
I don't use Nokia Messaging anymore (I now prefer Profimail on my E75), but for some time I did research a bit on that topic, and noticed that the Nokia server was making an IMAP connection to my e-mails server (fastmail.fm) every 15min, i.e. not keeping it open permanently using IDLE. It may be that during those 15min sessions IDLE was used, and then the Nokia server simply decided to close and re-open the connection. That may sound illogical, but perhaps it's more reliable this way.
In any case, I was getting my e-mails on the phone instantly, i.e. the reconnection every 15min had no impact on the actual push delivery.
Apparently there are many people having problems with Nokia Messaging. I don't know if Gmail or Yahoo allow you to see a connection log, but if they do, please have a look and see if and how often a server from Nokia/Finland is connecting to your IMAP server.
Also, I would just in case log on on email.nokia.com and make sure that your account is active (the E72 should give you a lifetime subscription, but please double check).

IOS 8.3 Update - Push Mail Not Working

Hi guys,
I updated to 8.3 last week and since then, I do not seem to be receiving any push mail. Fetch still works, but my iCloud based email which is the catchall for my various accounts (read: ALL OF MY MAIL), fails to push to my iPhone (6/128gb). My mail just limply says that it was Updated Yesterday when I wake up in the morning.
Has anyone else encountered this?
My workaround in the meantime has been to set a fetch schedule of every 15 minutes, but 15 minutes is a long time on a work day.
Any help as always is much appreciated, thanks!

I Am also having this issue. It doesn't want to update throughout the day. I have to rest (hard or soft) both my iPad Air 2 and iPhone 6 plus throughout the day then it's fine for a few hours. Started right after iOS 8.3 upgrade. I bet resting all my settings will correct but I've had to do that 4 times Now since the iOS 8 "update" and it's such a pain to restore everything when I do.

Push Mail slow or not working

I currently have the OG Iphone. After ugrading to firmware 2.0 my Push Mail through Yahoo is either delayed or I don't get it at all. I have tried reseting the account as well as deleting it, then entering it back again. Anyone else with the same issue?

I am having the same problem. Email hasn't appeared since Sunday 7/13 and attempting to manually download just hangs on "connecting"
UPDATE: After reading another thread, it sppears that shutting off the phone (completely), then powering it back on fixes the problem - at least for a while. Working for me so far.

Mail push not working on iPhone 4

For some reason my mail and apps icon are not displaying the red circle badges that indicate how many unread mail/available app updates are present. I have to open up mail for it to update, after which point the red badge is displayed on the icon...Anyone else having this problem, and any possible solutions?

When email push stops working for me, I simply quit and then restart the Mail app and it starts working again. This works for both my Yahoo and Exchange accounts. Still, it seems there is obviously a problem that needs to be fixed (since most folks will purposely and/or inadvertantly leave the Mail app running all the time).
Btw, when I say "quit", I mean exit out of the Mail app (you can't quit an app that you are currently "in"), bring up the multitasking bar (double-click the Home button), enter jiggle mode (hold down any running app's icon and wait), and then press the minus sign on the running Mail app's icon.

Push Mail on iPhone not working anymore

Since I have switched from .me to iCloud push mail on my iPhone 4 has been not working anymore.
I already tried to solve the issue by deleting an re-adding my icloud account, however the problem is still there.
Also periodical check, in my case every 15 minutes, is not working. I always need to manually open mail and check if there are any new mails.
Anybody knows how to solve this issue?
Thanks a lot in advance!

For future reference, I removed my account (again), performed a "hard reset" (again), and configured the account (again). And now it works.
So, if your mail fails on your mobile, remove the account, perform a hard reset, and configure the account again. If this did not help, repeat until it works again.
What helped me was making screen captures of the account settings before removing the account.

Yahoo push mail is not working

After 2.0 upgrade, Yahoo push mail has stopped working. In settings "Fetch New Data" is set to "Push". But I don't get any news emails from Yahoo pushed to my iPhone. I have tried delete and reconfigure Yahoo mail, and also resetting the phone but still couldn't get push email to work.
I've set a 25 message limit - I see 25 mails in my inbox but I also see 3 phantom messages the end. These 3 phantom messages show up with only the ">" sign with no sender or subject and I can't read them.
Has anyone seen anything similar and have suggestions to resolve this? Thanks!

I've had my iPhone for about a week now, one of the first to get it the Australian release. My yahoo mail was coming across fine for the first day or so but then it stopped. I removed the email account from the phone and re-added it. It hasn't even been able to grab my folders let alone my email. It just animates the little spinner and says "checking for mail..." forever.
I just saw on another web site, somebody claimed if you removed the email account, went to yahoo and changed your password to something without special character, only letters and numbers, then re-add it that it would work. This based on the some story that the iPhone has trouble sending those characters. As my email was working at one point and since my password only has letters and numbers in the first place, I doubt this is what is going on. Here is the post, her instructions are in the comments: http://blogs.computerworld.com/iphoneand_yahooyahoo
