Hotmail not pushing mail to my phone

I've set up my Hotmail account on my iPhone 3GS that is running iOS 4 using ActiveSync. It will fetch emails just fine when opening the mail app, but it will not notify me via push, which I thought was supported with the recent updates. I have gmail set up on my phone and push works just fine with it, so I know that push does work. I just love my hotmail too much to fully switch over to gmail, so push support that works is what I'm craving.

Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Select Fetch New Data.
Select Advanced at the bottom.
Select your Hotmail account.
The options available should be Push, Fetch, Manual.
You can enable or disable Push access for received messages with the account only without turning Push access off globally on the iPhone which would disable Push notifications with any app that provides Push notifications if any Push notifications are enabled with any 3rd party app or apps.

  • Mail for Exchange, Hotmail and Push Mail

    Hi
    I have set up a mail for exchange account on my Nokia E72. I am using hotmail as my mail provider. Everything works pretty fine. My mails and contacts get synchronzized with the phone.
    Now, i want to use push mail to instantly receive mails. I am not able to get this feature running. In the options for the synchronization i've selecte under peak days every day of the week. Peak time i from 6:00-22:00 and sync plan is always active.
    When i am sending an email to my hotmail account (within peak time) i don't get a push mail, not even after lots of minutes or hours. I have to go in my mailbox and manually press "send and receive" to get my new mails.
    How can i get push mail on my E72 for my hotmail account? Many thanks in advance.
    regards,
    MrGonzo

    seems like there are no Exchange server administrators in the forum, retro... sorry. I would love to help, though, but I'm just another MfE user.

  • Hotmail not receiving mail

    I have had hotmail on my computer for 3 months now and recently it decided to stop recieving mail. I deleted and re-added the acount. Now it will send mail, but will not receive mail. My ipad and iphone are still receiving mail from hotmail but not my Mac. Any help would be appreciated.

    Login to Hotmail's Webmail in a browser, does  it work via WebMail?
    Is this how you set it up?

  • MobileMe not Pushing Mail to Folders on iPhone/iPad

    The server side rules for Mobile Me mail is welcome. So all mail from work can be sent directly to a folder called "Work"
    However, mail is not pushed to any folders other than InBox so there is no notification that new mail has arrived in "Work". In fact mail is not downloaded to that folder until you access it on your iPhone/iPad.
    If you have many folders then the only way to know if mail has arrived is to laboriously click on each one.
    Anyone have any ideas? Is Apple going to fix this basic problem that should have been considered when introducing server side rules?

    I also would like to know the answer to this question.

  • Hotmail not pushing on the 9800?

    I used to have the BB Bold 9700 on the Bell Canada network and managed to setup my Hotmail (on BIS) to push as it came in my inbox.  I then went over to Fido's network to use the iPhone for a few months.
    I picked up a BB Torch 9800, unlocked it and have it setup on the Fido network... only trouble is, I can't get it to push hotmail anymore .
    Not sure what I might be doing differently since it's been a few months when I used my Bold 9700 last.
    Any ideas?  It used to work so that I'd get my emails and facebook notifications instantly...
    Thanks

    I know I'm bumping an old thread. Push email on Hotmail accounts is discontinued for the entire BlackBerry Internet Service.
    I really wish it wasn't...

  • Email not pushing, mail not syncing

    the email stopped pushing on my iphone 2 days ago. under the info tab in my itunes, under the mail account section, there is a check box "sync selected mail accounts", underneath there is a list. my mobileme email account used to appear in the list when email push used to work, now the list is empty, nothing is listed, and my email stopped pushing either. anybody know the solution? really appreciate it!

    maybe a solution here that i found on this forum
    01.) Plug iPhone into computer
    02.) Sync the phone in order to back up your latest info.
    03.) Restore iPhone in iTunes
    04.) When restore completes, ignore the "set up as new phone" or "restore from backup" screen and just unplug the phone from the computer.
    05.) Once unplugged, slide to unlock and tap on the email icon.
    06.) Tap on your email type to setup (for me it was gmail)
    07.) Enter your email information.
    08.) Load your email and let it download a bunch of emails.
    09.) Plug phone back into computer. The "set up as new phone" and "restore from backup" screen will pop up again.
    10.) Choose "restore from backup" and select your last backup.
    11.) Wait until complete.

  • How do I get Photo Stream to only import photos from my phone and not push photos to my phone.

    Hi
    Just purchased an Imac (first time mac user) and imported all my photos from my PC.  I have been using photo stream on my phone and ipad and like it.  The problem is, as far as I can tell, that I have added thousands of photos to the Imac and it now consider those to be new additions.  It is sharing those photos to my phone and Ipad and filling both up very quickly.  Is there a way that I can only stream photos from the phone to Iphoto on my imac and not from the imac to the phone?  I realize that in 30 days, this should correct itself, but for the time being it is a huge hassle.  Im sure there is some setting in iphoto that will alleviate my problem

    If you have a mac....
    launch iPhoto
    click the word "iPhoto" beside the apple, and select "preferences / photo stream"
    what synces, is listed here
    uncheck what you desire, and simply close iPhoto.  It will save the changes
    Also......
    Click the apple / system prefences / iCloud - if you wish to stop "photo stream" completely, you can uncheck it here.

  • Can send but not recevie mail - help please

    I have tried to push mail though, switched phone off and logged off on my desktop. But I can send but not receive.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Anne,
    Is this IMAP or POP account?
    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.

  • 4s isn't pushing mail

  • 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.

  • My yahoo e-mail not pushing to iPhone4, again.  Had this same problem in October for several weeks.  My kids and husband have 3 other types of smart phones, and none of them are experiencing this problems.  This has been going on for 2 weeks so far.

    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 mail not pushing/syncing

    Ever since I activated my iPhone6 I've had issues with mail.  It doesn't not sync unless I manually do so.  There are no notifications of incoming mail until I manually refresh the native mail app.  I am running the latest version of ios8 and I have had this issue right out of the box.
    My account is Hotmail.
    I have no issues with my ipad at all (still using ios7).
    I have researched the forums, I have checked the settings. All the settings on my phone match the settings on my iPad. I have done the hard reset.
    As of yesterday I started getting an error when sending mail that the password was incorrect.  When I manually refresh the app I RECEIVE MAIL, meaning my account is being accessed, yet I still get an error that I can not SEND mail because the password is incorrect.
    I love my phone but this mail issue is problematic for me. 

    Discovered that if I flag the message in iOS Mail, it will show as flagged on my OS X Mail; just, apparently, not the other way 'round. I await Yosemite.
