Mobileme/Push Email question

I was just wondering how push email typically works. I have many emails that I save in various folders on my computer, I wouldn't mind so much if it also pushed those emails to mobileme. However, if I get that email sent to my iphone I would want to archive it in a folder on my mac, but then delete it on my iphone. My limited understanding of mobileme/push email is that if I do something to a message on one device it automatically does it on the other devices. So if I delete a message in iphone it automatically deletes it on my computer and mobileme. Is there a way to bypass this for certain emails? I don't want any of my 8gb space to be used for much email because I will be using that space for music, some tv shows, and the many apps I want from the app store.

thank you so much for your quick answer. One last quick question. How does .Mac/mobile (the server) actually work with the apps on the Mac. I never subscribed to .Mac so I don't know if the server folders appear on the mail application in mac like the idisk appears as another disk drive. just want to know how user friendly its going to be to switch emails between folders.

Is Yahoo Push email working consistently for anyone?

There are several threads about people having problems with Yahoo Push email. Many solutions have been offered, but posts seem to indicate done of them work consistentl and over time. I am wondering if this is just an isolated problem some people (including myself) are having, or if it is really widespread and not working for all or most people, but a lot of folks just don't care. People who have reported this to Apple and/or Yahoo seem to be told this is not a known problem.
So, if you do have Yahoo Push email working consistently could you give a brief reply to let the rest of us know it is something unique to our setup, use, or account.
Thanks.

Call iPhone tech support, and ask them to log a case for you. Be warned, however, that this doesn't seem to help... but let us know if Apple are able to provide an update that's worthwhile. Last time I called I was put through to a product specialist who -seemed- really interested in the issue, asked me to try some things (none of which helped, and all of which have been tried here by others) and call them back with results. Tried them, called back two or three times and left a message with the results, never heard back from them...
On previous calls I'd been told it was probably a Yahoo problem and to call them... Yahoo pointed me back to Apple. A common result from what I read here.

Iphone mobileme push email

I have 2 Mobileme accounts. Both are setup on my Macbook Pro and my Iphone. However, in my Iphone only one of them allows for Push email. Both are paid for services and not trial accounts. Any workaround?

'Push-IMAP' isn't an Open Standard, so I'd avoid it. I'm not sure the iPhone supports Push-IMAP either (there where some rumours after the initial phone announcements that it would with Yahoo! mail).

I need help with MobileMe push email!

*I have an @sbcglobal.net email account and just got MobileMe* so all my stuff is synced with my iPhone 3G. I dont want to have to notify lots of people that I have changed my email address to an @me.com. Is there a way that I can make all the messages sent to my sbcglobal.net account automatically be in the me.com account so that they are pushed/synced? And when I check my mail on my iPhone will messages sent to the sbcglobal.net address already be in the me.com account or will I have to go on my Mac and receive those messages there? And I dont want duplicate messages (the same message in each account). *I want it to seem as if there is only one account (the MobileMe account because it is pushed/synced) that recieves messages sent to the sbcglobal.net address and the me.com address; also when I send a message I want it to show to others that it is from the sbcglobal.net address.* Is this possible? Any hope?

Nevermind, all I had to do was set a rule for anything that came in the sbc account to be moved to the mobileme account and it works perfect.

Exchange Push does not push email UNTIL the email is read in Outlook!

I am having a really strange problem. I have an Exchange (work) account that was working great until recently. But in the last two weeks I noticed email stopped arriving on my iPhone. It appears an email is pushed onto my phone only AFTER I have opened the email on Outlook. Then it is immediately pushed onto the phone. Has anyone had a similar problem?
I have tried restarting the phone. I have also tried deleting the account and recreating it. None solved the problem. This is really frustrating.

that's weird. you might want to try a complete restore of your iPhone and set it up as a new phone rather than from a backup.

How does the rescue email work?

Hey, guys, I want to change my security questions for iTunes. Does the email get sent to me and redirects me to a page, so I can change the questions?

What do you mean by "return method"? Methods return a value (or void, but that's still a "value" of sorts).

Does yahoo push not work for bulk mail folder?

I don't seem to be having any problems with yahoo push in my Inbox, but it doesn't seem to be working for my bulk mail. I have to actually go into my bulk mail folder for it to update. Is this normal? Thanks!

That is normal activity. Works the exact same way on tests phones we have set up. Bulk/junk mail is not something that all would like getting pushed through.

Does my push notification work properly?

When I firstly install and open a new App, some App which supports for the push notification will ask me to allow the push notification. Then If I choose don't allow, all notification fuunctions should be turned off, or not?
What I found is when I choose do not allow notifcation, for some App (it is likely to be a new release App) it was turned off only Alert style. The rest notification functions were still turned on, such as notification center, badge and sound.
However, for some App, such as facebook, when I choose don't allow notification, all notification functions were turned off.
So I don't understand why I got the different setting when I select "don't allow notification" after first install and use. I know that we can go to setting and set it manually, but I am not sure whether my iphone work properly, or not?

Not sure what 'goes crazy' means but it most likely should not do that. Try a reset... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
Also try it plugged into another outlet (on another circuit) and/or try another charger.

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.

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 email on ipod touch 1st gen. firmware 2.1 fails !!!

hi to all
I own an ipod touch 1st. gen. 8GB firmware 2.1 which fails in push email and a full featured mobileme (dotmac) account -
Since a while, email push fails, this never happend before i updated to firmware 2.1 !
Before ipod touch beeped in sleep mode when a email was pushed, now in 2 of 10 email it beeps sometimes, it only beeps when its not falling asleep
I wonder about that, does mobileme push email still work, or is it the firmware 2.1?
Can anybody help me please, searched the internet for days but did not find an correct help or answer for ipod touch 1st gen. push mail....
Thanks a lot tobias

ok, what i 've found out meanwhile:
Since firmware update 2.1 wifi switches off, when ipod touch 1st gen. falls asleep, or is locked - so there is no working wifi connection for pushing email and of course no beep when a email arrives (in case no email arrives)
That's a superbad bug in 2.1, and i 've to point out that this bug did not exists in vers. 2.0 ! There is no official solution or update yet and I don't know if there will ever be one...
The only way to revive push email (and beeping), while sleep or lock mode is unofficial !!
and a application called "insomnia"
The solution with insomina works fine and like pushing and beeping in firmware v 2.0 !
For using insomina, google cydia and quickpwn !
Greetings Tobias

Push email (MS exchange) works intermittently after upgrade to ios 5.1 and ios 5.1.1

I have an iphone 4 with my office email (MS exchange) account configured. Other accounts are Gmail & iCloud.
Office email is configured as Push, Gmail as Fetch and iCloud as Push.
Till ios 5.0.x everything was fine. Office emails were getting pushed and there were no issues.
However after upgrading/restore to ios 5.1 & then 5.1.1 push email mostly does not work.
Few observations :
1. Push email works fine when I am at home on wi-fi.
2. When I leave home for work (therefore on 3G), mails stop getting pushed. Sometimes they get pushed for a period of 1 to 2 hours. Then they stop
3. Manually fetching office mails also does not work
4. Strangle accessing the office webmail site in Safari https://mail.xxxxx.com does NOT work. While i can load other sites in safari, the mail site does not load.
5. In office sometimes in the lift phone switches from 3G to Edge or no signal and then when out of the lift, suddenly mails get pushed, but then stop after some time.
6. Moment I get onto wi-fi, push emails start working
7. There is no issue with accessing gmail.
8. Other push notifications work (gmail app, facebook notifications etc)
9. There have been no changes to our MS exchange server
10. I have tried the usual stuff of resetting network settings, rebooting the phone, killing the mail app, going to airplane mode, deleting the mail a/c and recreating etc etc. But no luck.
Apart from upgrading/restoring to 5.1 and then 5.1.1, there have been no changes. The upgrades were done OTA, restore from 5.1.1.
However both times I have not set the phone as new and have restored backups.
Is anybody facing a similar issue ?
Any suggestions ?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?

Push email not working any more

Hello,
I have a new Asha 303, and am using Nokia Mail with 4 different GMail accounts. On setting up the phone, push email worked perfectly, and it was impressively quick to see new mail. Yesterday I had an issue where the Mail application would not load at all, so I did a reset, for settings only, and it started working again. However, since then, I've not had a single push notification on the widget on my home screen.
I've got getting mail set to 'very fast' and as far as I know, nothing has changed.
I'd be happy to try an alternative email program, but emoze does not seem to be available for the 303.
Any thoughts and ideas most welcome.
Thanks
Garry

I think it's using SMS to push emails to the phone, and it doesn't tell the email software to send/receive it only displays the part of the email that was in the SMS. At least you can manually send/receive to catch up.
Yes, I think you're correct with that. That seems to be the way all the "cloud" stuff that Apple will let developers push to the phone is going to work. Like a chat client, for instance. No persistent connection to look for incoming messages, instead the IM routes to Apple's server, which sends a message to the phone chat client that there's new data and to come look for it.
Good for battery life.
Re: the delete on the Mac not showing on the phone, shouldn't the mail client do a sync via imap every time you even open it? That's the way it was working before 2.0. I haven't had time to play with it yet to confirm.

Push email not working since purchasing iPhone 3G

Yesterday I bought an iPhone 3G to upgrade from my old iPhone. With the old iPhone and 2.0 installed, push email worked fine, as did the calendar and contacts to the most part.
When setting my new iPhone up, I told it to set up like my old iPhone which it did, but now push mail is not working. Calendar and contacts are fine, just mail. I've tried switching things on and off, restarting the phone, etc. but all to no avail. I've even deleted the MobileMe (who ever names these things should be shot... from now on I will call it iTools!) account, and recreated it using the assitant on the iPhone, but still nada... I still have to fetch the emails.
Anyone got any ideas. Thanks.

iTools would be a stupid name too. It is not a set of tools, it is a set of features for your MOBILE phone. and it's like Microsoft Exchange whose first letters are M and E. i'm sure that ain't their reason, but it's just fine by me.
As for your problem, I've had some intermittent problems with my mobileme email being pushed as well. i'd say about 75% of the time it works (98.2% of statistics are randomly made up on the spot, including all those in this message!). i just chalk it up to growing pains and hope it fixes itself soon or i'll go back to my Exchange server which has been flawless so far.

Nokia E7 - Push Email Not Working

I have recently upgraded to a Nokia E7 from a Nokia E72 and I am now experiencing push email problems?
I configured my Gmail account on my E72 in seconds and the push email worked beautifully and I received mail within 30 seconds of it being sent to my email address. I tested this myself!
So why is there such an issue getting push email to work on my E7? I imagined it would be easier and better, but I have been mistaken.
Is there any way at all to correct this problem? Mail only comes through when I manually sync, but this is frustrating!!
Any help will be appreciated!!

I am also experiencing issues with Nokia messaging since Anna update. Prior to this it was working fine with Symbian^3 making me feel happy for upgrading from E72
But this joy didn't last for much time as I discovered immediately after updating to Anna that mail isn't working anymore. I eagerly upgraded to Anna as soon is it is available on 18th Aug but since then I wasn't able to receive or send mails from the accounts that are already configured. Having waited for about more than week anticipating some quick app update to fix the issue I tried deleting and adding the accounts again. Since then I repeatedly see a error message that "Cannot enable the mail service that allows you to fully experience your favourite providers because connection to the mail server is not possible with the settings provided.
Select 'Next' to set up mailbox without this service. You can attempt to connect to the server by adjusting the mailbox settings later."
Status remains same even after resetting the device completely for seven times and Nokia care has advised me to reinstall Anna firmware using OVI suite from a PC rather than using OTA update. However I haven't had any luck and the issue continues.
Though this seems to be a pain all the early adopters of Anna on E7, N8 and C7 are in, there isn't still an acknowledgement from Nokia to our pity. Seems that they are helping their competitors rather than the customers by forcing them to jump the ship.
