Checking Email & Push not working

I've had some strange email issue since the beginning of the year. Before January my email would be pushed/fetched as normal throughout the day. Then at night when I don't check my email it would accumulate and by morning I would have 5-8 emails "junk" that I would delete. Now when I check it in the morning. nothing is there until I open the Mail app then it downloads all my email from that night. It also downloads email that I already deleted! This is such a pain because I'm noticing that if I don't open the Mail app throughout the day my mail won't automatically download. This is a huge problem!!! Another thing I noticed is when my email is checking for new mail. At the bottom of the screen the "Update (Date) (Time)" flashes "12/31/10 4:08pm" What is that!?!? I've rebooted my phone several times, and I'm running 4.2.1. This just started happening as of this year. Below is a picture of the date flash. I mainly use Gmail accounts. PLEASE HELP!! -Tim

Unless you are accessing your Gmail account as an Exchange account with the iPhone's Mail app, Push access for received messages does not apply. Fetch only - automatically or manually. Push access is supported with a Yahoo account created with the Yahoo account preset, with a MobileMe account, and with an Exchange account.
Try deleting and recreating the account with the iPhone's Mail app to see if this makes any difference.

Email pushing not working correctly for office email - 3 seperate devices/carriers

We switched email hosts several months ago and since our email pushing has not worked correctly. Our host/IT guy has been very unwilling to help me through this (I get the pleasure of being the in-house IT source)
I personally am on AT&T have no problems with the other 3 emails I have set up on my blackberry. However I receive my work account one time a day at roughly 6:15. Another user is on Alltel and he receives spotty emails throughout the day, but his gmail account comes through instantly. The third user is on nextel and he receives his 2-3 times per day.
I began to think this was an email host issue since the three of us are all on different carriers, until I found out a fourth user, also on nextel, receives his emails fine.
Users 1-3 are on Outlook 07 on various versions of the Curve. We have all our messages to stay on the server.
User 4 is on the older nextel blackberry push to talk, and is not on outlook.
We do not have an exchange server. Our emails were all set up through our devices.
Any suggestions? The answers I have received through our carriers is to make sure that our messages are set to be left on the server. Everyone else at the office has given up - but for me this is the quest for the Holy Grail.......I'm determined find the answer!
Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

Potential solution for windows for a side-by-side install. This works for me.
To setup a firefox install side by side so that links from external programs (like email) can open (so you don't get a "Firefox is already running but is not responding" message) do the following.
The solution entails the use of the -no-remote switch. Don't use it for the default browser. Use it for the non default browser.
I'll use firefox 3.6 and firefox 4.0 as examples but this should work for future versions.
+ Install firefox 3.6 and Firefox 4.0 in different directories. Eg.
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe
C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 4\firefox.exe
+ Open profile manager. Start > Run : firefox.exe -ProfileManager
+ In profile manager create Two Profiles.
firefox3.6
firefox4
+ In profile manager select firefox 4 as your default (assuming you want to default to the latest) and tick "Don't ask at startup"
+ Create two windows shortcuts.
* General: Mozilla Firefox 4 (default). Shortcut > Target: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 4\firefox.exe". Shortcut > Start In: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 4"
* General: Mozilla Firefox 3.6. Shortcut > Target: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -p firefox3.6 -no-remote. Shortcut > Start In: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox"
That's it. Links from external programs should now open in your default browser.

IOS6 on iPhone 5 Email Push Not Working

Both my exchange and AOL are not pushing. iCloud is pushing properly. I also have another problem I don't know if anyone else is experiencing this either but none of my push notifications from facebook are playing a tone or vibrating. I have tried everything reinstalled app, went through all notifcation settings and everything. Still nothing, anyone else experiencing this?

iPhone 5 IOS 6.0.2 installed, now Yahoo email has stopped appearing without me checking manually.
I’ve tried deleting account, rebooting, re-adding account, rebooting and still no go.
I’ve validated that email does update only after I click the mail icon, then I see Connecting, Checking, Downloading and Updated with all the test emails upon completion.
I’ve validated settings for “Fetch New Data” showing “Push”.
“PUSH” slider is in ON position.
“Fetch New Data” “Manually” is checked for apps not supporting push
Advanced shows “Push” for iCloud and Yahoo.
“PUSH” is checked in both iCloud and Yahoo.
What am I missing?

Email push not working

I am on iOS5 and I am not receiving push emails for my ME email address. I have to go into my email and refresh to check for emails. If I send an email or reboot the phone, then they push, but only for that moment, after that, they don't push and I dont even get a badge showing an email has arrived. Does anyone know of a solution? I've made sure all services are pushed and badges show.

If it helps... this was also happening to me with iOS4.

TS3276 my server went down and now my email is not working, can anyone help please?

My website server went down and now my email is not working (though the server is back up)
Does anyone know what I need to do?
I'm told by my website hosts that I need to 'reconfigure authentication" but I have no idea how to do this, they are now closed for the weekend and I need it fixed before Monday morning. Could anyone tell me where to find step by step instructions. I've tried but have made matters worse and the couple of mail accounts that WERE still receiving email are now also not.
Help please!

Hi Eyen80,
If you are having issues with your iPhone’s camera not functioning, you may want to troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Specifically -
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

Push Not Working After Update to 2.1

Using Mobile Me. Not sure if its a server problem. Additionally, I have fetch set for hourly and that does not appear to be working either.

Same problem. Push email is not working (MobileMe) anymore since the update and instead of increasing my battery life with 2.1 it has decreased it. Battery indicator will say fully charged for at least 5 hours then all of the sudden just drastically drain to 10%. Please help.
frustrated again!

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 not working on iPhone 4 (Orange UK)

Anyone else having problems with this?
Am I missing something obvious?
I've got Notifications turned to 'On' under settings but I don't seem to be getting any (none for Facebook, Gmail, Game Apps etc). The only time the a number in a red circle appears is when I manually open Mail, Facebook etc.
Anyone have any ideas? Could it be a problem with my network (Orange) not setting it up correctly their end?
Cheers

IPhoto email sudddenly not working

Suddenly my iPhoto email is not working. After I choose a photo from the library and push email and choose a size and compose,it starts to but after a moment the application freezes and the the BBOD appears and then the whole application shuts down. I tried at least 15 times today. Aside from this, I have continual problems with iPhoto 5 crashing. ANY HELP greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Close iPhoto. Use the Finder to navigate to Macintosh HD/ Users/ (your user name)/ Library/ Preferences/ com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Move the file to the trash and launch iPhoto. You'll have to set the preferences back to your liking.
If that doesn't help, then you can try rebuilding the database. Hold down Command and Option while launching iPhoto. Select the first 3 options in the dialog, then Rebuild. For more information read this Apple article.
Regards.

Yhoo mail Push Not Working?

He,
iPhone 3GS OS 3.1, Yhoo mail Push Not Working?
thanks

I have also been having the Y!Mail push issue. I noticed it several weeks ago. It used to be that I would get the email push almost immediately after Y!Messenger told me that I received an email. I now will receive the email push sometimes 30 minutes later, sometimes 40 minutes, sometimes hours later. And sometimes never, because I opened up the Mail widget and it does the fetch. Here is what I have done so far (I do hard restarts each time I make a change): I deleted my Y mail account on the iPhone and added it back. No workee for me. I turned wi-fi off so that I am on 3G. Nope - no pushes. I turned on all of my secondary mail servers. Still no workee. I removed all my installed apps, thinking one of them might be causing interference, but no difference. I have performed Restores on the iPhone with no change. I contacted Y!Mail Tech Supt. We swapped emails a couple of times; still don't get the email pushes. Last email from them requested that I send some information to an AT&T employee who would be working on this issue. Well, I sent the info but haven't heard back from him. Very frustrating.
So just to see if it was my iPhone or a system problem, I sent a test email to my wife's iPhone 3Gs. I sat with the phone for over an hour and no email push. I asked my brother(iPhone 3G) if he gets his email pushes. He says he has never received an email push from Y!Mail since he got the phone last spring.
So is this an Apple issue? Or Yahoo? Or AT&T? Should I make an appt at the Apple Genius Bar and see if one of their gurus can fix it? Maybe one of the Apple iPhone techs that monitor this forum can chime in.

Exchange email will not work when offline

Anyone know when Apple will fix this issue? Email will not work correctly unless connected to wireless. This makes it impossible to be productive while flying. This is exclusive to exchange servers as it woks on POP accounts.

I know that. When I work on my laptop I can file, reply, delete etc. and when I land it updates all the folders and sends and recevies all the mail. the iPad will not let you file or delete emails unless connected. This makes flying time completely unproductive. If I have to have a laptop to do email why have an iPad???

My icloud email is not working on any of my devices (pc, iphone, ipad). For 2 days now. Any suggestions?

I have the same problem. I called Apple this morning, they told me that they restored "half" of the people affected last night and the next update will be 11 am EST. Very frustrating to say the least!

Email is not working properly and dvr is freezing.

I never thought I would say this but I am considering going back to cable. I have been calling verizon for 2 weeks now. My email is not working. I did not get any email for about 3 days, then when I called I got a couple (I normally get about 70 per day). Now I get 3 or 4 a day and it seems I have to call them daily. Their server is rejecting emails. I have many things I am waiting for (business contracts, etc) and I am not getting them. CLients are telling me that their emails are being rejected by verizons servers. I am not getting any answers from verizon. All that happens is when I complain, I get email for about an hour (sporadically) and then it stops again. I have really had enough of it at this point. And the DVR freezing for the last several months.. well that is another issue. It is time to look into optimum again

Hi mooster -- I sent you a private message so I can get some more information about the problems you're having and so we can figure out what's going on. Please get back to me when you're able. Thanks!
