Email alert not working

I am not receiving an alert when a email is sent to me. My friend has a iPhone 4s and she does. We compared our settings and both our phones are set up the same. If there is something that we may have overlooked, please give me the directions to set the phone to get an alert for email.

I believe that you have to set up Gmail as an Exchange account in order to get push (immediate) notifications.  Here's a link on how to do this: http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740.  Otherwise, your email is only being picked up every 15 minutes (via the fetch setting) so you won't hear an alert tone until you wait for this interval has passed, or you open the Mail app to manually get your email.

    Hello
    I'm trying to configure Email alerts for my TFS but whenever I do a "Send test email" I get the following error. 
    This is what the log file in the error says.

  • Email alerts not working since update

    I no longer receive email alerts since my recent update and none of the basic quick fixes on the net have helped me out.... can anyone assist please?

    I have the iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1.1 software update

    For each mail account, along with designating a primary SMTP server, you should be able to just turn off any and all other SMTP servers you have listed.  In that case, if there is a problem with comcast, the message send should just fail.
    Also make sure your comcast smtp settings are correct (port, likely 587 but might be something else for comcast, whether you should be suing SSL or not, do you need authentication or not).
    You might find the comcast forums useful for getting the settings right - I found this:
    http://forums.comcast.com/t5/E-Mail-and-Xfinity-Connect-Help/iphone-email/m-p/66 1151?view=by_date_ascending#M131151
    The second poster notes, SSL should be on, authentication should be "password" and you should be using port 995

  • 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 does not work. Getting error message that i need to uncheck SSL . This does not work. Help

    icloud Email does not work. When running Connection doctor it indicates I must check or uncheck SSL. This has not fixed the problem

    iCloud email addresses (@mac.com, @me.com and @icloud.com) require SSL. Is your address an iCloud address or someone else?

  • 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!

  • Share option for email does not work after Yosemite upgrade.

    Hi,
    Does anybody know why the share option, "Share via email" does not work anymore after Yosemite upgrade?  I love this feature.  It's just quick and easy.
    Rod.

    On Yosemite, Pages '09 v4.3 no longer recognizes the Share > Send Via Email categories. You will have to export and manually drag/drop/attach documents to Mail. There is no fix.

  • Why are my alerts not working?

    Why are my alerts not working?  Sometimes the alerts work and other times I have to manually retrieve messages.

    You can set alerts at verizonwireless.com, and you can set alerts on most smartphones as well, and those can be highly customized as to when you are alerted.
    Go to settings, data usage, and there are/should be options to view, limit, and alert you as to your mobile data usage on the phone itself.

  • 6300 & Lotus Notes - Calander Alert Not Working

    Hi I have an O2 6300 & Lotus Notes ( v6 )and the phones calander alert not working / going off when it should.

    Hi SaikatDas,
    Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
    Since this forum is to discuss: Visual Studio WPF/SL Designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation
    Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System, and Visual Studio Editor.
    Based on your issue, it is related to the IIS, so I’m afraid that it is not the correct forum for this issue. therefore, I suggest you can post this issue directly to the IIS forum:http://forums.iis.net/
    , maybe you will get better support.
    Thanks for your understanding.

        Hi Florence2014
    I'm so sorry your having issues. Unfortunately there isn't an email for global support. The only way way to reach them while traveling is to call them at 908-559-4899.
