Can I have push notifications for Mail, like on the iPhone?

Hello,
I was wondering if it's possible to enable push notifications for Mail on the Mac, basically like on the iPhone. I know that you can choose how often you want Mail to check your inbox, but this only works if Mail is open. Is there a feature that allows me to close the application, but still receive notifications when a new mail arrives?
Thanks

Not as yet, although
1. The installation of third party programs such as Growl may give you this option. I don't use it personally so       have a look at it and similar but at your own risk
2. Wait for Mountain Lon (10.8) to be released later this year as they are advertising such things as                  notifications, more in line with the iOS interface of iPads and iPhones

3. In the meantime, do some reading here on threads relating to Mail in Lion as it seems like you certainly    having an issue with Mail that most people do not have.
Good Luck

Yes - you want to go under Notifications, Mail. Set each acct the way you want.

Is there a way to get push notifications for social apps on the Droid Maxx

Is there a way to get push notifications for social apps on the Droid Maxx? With text messaging, you will see a badge icon, but I wasn't sure if you could do that for social networks, too.

@cmabbott85,
I can definitely understand how important it can be to get your Facebook or Twitter notifications on your phone.
As @rcshnoor mentioned, each app does have the option to turn the notification on or off. You need to launch the App and go into the Menu. Then go to App Settings and make sure notifications are checked.

I've turned off push notifications for certain apps but the push notices still appear. Any idea why?

Hi there,
Apologies if this has been asked before.
My issue is not with notifactions not working, exactly the opposite. I have turned off notifications for several of the apps on my phone, but notifications still appear.
Is this a known problem? The main offender is an app called FreeAppADay.

I got an iPhone 4s and I'm experiencing the same problems. I used facebook messenger, and used to get the push notifications to that app, but now that i've deleted it I no longer get the messages directly to the facebook app.
I have push on in the mail settings and notification center for facebook are on as well. I also have push notifications on in the settings for facebook.
I've tried deleting the app and reinstalling, no fix. I haven't tried a hard reset yet.
So far, I figured out that it's not iOS or the facebook app, somehow it is a problem with my account. I logged into my wife's account on my iphone and her account is able to recieve push notifications to my iphone.
Any thoughts?

HT3576 Can you get sound notifications for mail and iMessage with the new iPad. Under general sounds I have a sound selected for both of those. My volume is turned all the way up but I still don't get sound notifications with these apps. Suggestions?

I have sound turned on under general> sounds. The volume is all the way up and I can hear it when i adjust it. However under notifications sound is not an option for mail or iMessage. Just badges and alerts. Both of which are on. I would really like to hear my notifications. Any suggestions.

1. Double-click the Home button and swipe Task Bar to the right
2. Check the volume and mute settings

Background Push Notifications for Mail

Is there any way to set up Mail notifications without having the Mail app open in Mavericks? Every other service can send notifications without being open, so I'm surprised there isn't a way to do this with the Mail app, ala iOS.
Any thoughts or suggestions, or do we have to wait for Apple to enable this?

Raised this issue on another thread back in October. I just missed an important email by 30 minutes because I had Apple Mail unopened while working with a memory intense application and so I didn't get the notification. I really hope Yosemite will change this behavior which should work like iOS. Mail shouldn't have to be open for us to get push notifications. It should work in the background or else it's kind of a moot point. If anyone has found an answer or setting that would enable this in Mavericks, your input would be greatly appreciated.

Not getting push notifications for mail

Hello,
I set up some email addresses in Mail (IMAP, for a business I started) this morning and I set up notifications so that I get banner notes and have "notification center", "badge app icon" and "show in lock screen" turned to ON for all the emails.
Everything seems to be working right except I don't get any notifications until I actually activate the "Mail" app.
I was hoping to get notifications when an email is received (the way my gmail app works).
Is there a setting I'm missing to have my emails pushed to the phone to trigger a notification instead of the app only checking for mail when I open it up?
I'm leaving it running in the background. I've tried restarting the app and restarting my phone.
Thank you

How can I get visual notification for mail

Hello,
As Lion gives us a new and better mail software with a sound I would like to enquire how it would be possible to have an additional visual notification when an email is received.
Many thanks
Yair

Okay ... we've got Mountain Lion and we have Apple Mail for Mountain Lion.
Now, back to my recollection for Apple Mail and plain ole Lion ... when I hit the "envelope" icon in Mail, or hit CMD-Shift-N, I heard my sound (Basso) and I saw the rotating cursor beside each of my accounts.
But with Mountain Lion, I just hear the Basso sound, but no rotating cursor.
Fine ... just please tell me what I can do to retrieve the rotating cursor visual indicator, or notification.
Obviously, this is not a gigantic deal, just something I'm used to.
Thanks,

Can you re-show push notifications for messages after unlocking iPhone?

Is it possible to re-show push notifications for messages after unlocking an iPhone? If I open my phone, but want to re-see the same message push notifications after closing my phone would that be possible? In other words is there a way to customize a lock screen or to restore it?

Confirmed. I did upgrade my phone and then "restore from backup" rather than setting up a new phone.
Would setting up as a new phone delete my extra carrier profiles, or are these untouched? I could try that as well.

My Iphone wont send push notifications for the app Telegram, what do I do to fix it?

Hey gingertodd0911,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
This article has information that may help you resolve the issue with no push notifications for that app on your iPhone 5s.
About Notifications on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Not getting notifications for a specific app
Push notifications require an active Wi-Fi or cellular connection. If you’re not getting notifications for a specific app, try these steps:
Go to Settings > Notifications to verify that the app supports notifications. If notifications do not appear in the Notification Center, make sure that the Notification Center setting for the app is enabled.
Make sure you’re signed in to your Apple ID.
If you’ve recently installed an app or restored a backup, open the app to start getting notifications.
So long,
-Jason

ISO web wrapped app(s) for Google Mail and Calendar that have push notifications but don't download any data

Does anyone know which apps are web wrapped for allowing IMAPing to mail & calendar have push notifications but don't download data to the device?
Basically, our enterprise would like to allow users to use personal iOS devices to access mail, calendar and contacts (we're on Google Apps). However, our strict security requirements are such that we need to make sure the app isn't being "overly helpful" and saving the accessed data in a cache or pulling it down to the device in any way.
My quick test for checking if apps don't pull down data to reside on the device is to put the device in Airplane Mode. If you can see your email or calendar
entries with an app when it's in airplane mode, then it's pulling the data down or caching it in some way.
I've tested the Google Gmail app and the Google Apps Browser from G-Whizz and both fail this test since they cache the last mail and/or calendar entries accessed.
The only legit way for users to access our enterprise mail and calendar is through the browser only. However, they can't get push notifications or alerts for new emails or from their calendar. The concern and likely outcome is that users will just set up an account on the native Mail app using IMAP, either knowing and disregarding that it's a security violation or not really understanding that they're committing a security violation.
I gotta believe there's an app for that.
Any help be greatly appreciated!

The living issue is complex in my case. Legally speaking, I have no personal residence globally. I just live wherever my father goes, which is everywhere. I'm an expat and it seems that these sites aren't really expat-friendly. They seem to be built for localization and assume everyone stays in the same place.
I don't know what I'd be considered. I'm a US passport holder and live in China, but I only speak some Chinese and I can't read it (it using non-latin characters is just too much for my mind's memory to handle). Besides that, I'm not interested in popular Chinese apps. They tend to just be annoying and kooky and generic and put together badly, often full adware and spyware (speaking for most Chinese software, in fact). In fact, a lot of apps I want are illegal in China (YouTube, Facebook, etc) and I use a VPN to use the services. I assume I wouldn't find these apps on the Chinese store. In fact, last I checked, there wasn't many English apps on the Chinese app store. This is probably due to their strict moderation or something.
I've been going to international schools since I got here and college would be in English too. I can speak some Chinese, but not read it.
Well, I guess the answer is that I can't use the App Store in English. So I guess I'll just sign out everything on my phone involving my Apple account and just start using third-party tools to do my business.
