HT201320 Notification for new mail/push

My iphone is not notifying me when I have mail.... Does the mail program support push?  I have push enabled in mail settings but I am still not receiveing notification unless I touch the mail icon at which time it searches for new email.

In order to get push e-mail using a gmail account, you need to set it up as an Exchange account.
You can find information on how here: http://support.google.com/mail/bin/topic.py?hl=en&topic=14252&parent=21369&ctx=t opic

  • Offlineimap-notify - wrapper that adds notifications for new mail

    I've created my first little open source project (long overdue). It's a wrapper script that decorates OfflineIMAP's UI classes with notification sending for new mail, using Python's introspection facilities, before running offlineimap normally. See the man page for more info.

    Excellent.  This hits one of those little annoyances that's always seemed to never quite be worth fixing, for me.  The only thing that it seems to be missing to me is the lack of a way to set the urgency of the notifications, which seems to be reasonably easy to fix (assuming I haven't missed anything obvious or otherwise done anything stupid):
    EDIT:  There was a patch here in a codebox, but it turns out that yes, I had done something stupid and it didn't actually work.  I may or may not put a fixed version back up later.
    Didn't look stupid at first glance; can't tell now. Anyway, I just pushed v0.5.1 to address this. For completeness' sake, I added a timeout setting as well.

  • Mailo Notifications For New Mail In Subfolders

    We are rolling out Office 365 Microsofts new cloud solution for Exchange and have been running iPhones, iPads and Windows mobiles. Amazingly good response back from useres on the Apple offers which is great. One issue we have is that some users have rules set up on their Exchange inbox where emails are diverted to certain folders accoring to their content or the sender. The iPhone doesn't seem to provide any notification of new mail in these sub folders. Has anyone come across this or even better have a solution or how to handle this?
    Thanks loads

    That's the main problem in that it needs to show the number. It seems a bit daft that Apple would include the ability for it to play a sound but not show the total number. A prime example is either if you do not have a sound set or perhaps are in a meeting and have the phone on silent. Also it is tedious to have to expand folders to find the one with the mail. If a user has a number of mailboxes as some of ours do, it is very cumbersome to have to view each account and then subfolders to find the additional mail.
    With the big Microsoft vs Apple battle starting to hot up with Microsoft launching their Office 365 cloud offering for business this really is something that Apple needs to address to make sure that their iPhone/iPads stay in contention with BES and Windows Mobile etc.
    The feedback we have had from Mac users when using a test of the Beta of Microsoft Office 365 with Apple devices (iPhone/iPad) is amazing and even they were happy to admit it made their lives immeasurably easier. Let's just hope Apple rise to the challenge and make these small tweaks to make the devices truly enterprise useable!
    I still think Apple should make a user voting system on this site so that people can register with a set amount of votes and assign how many votes they want to a particular feature. Then the public vote would show Apple what people really want! Or let’s get Apple to organise some business forums in the UK as well as the USA so European businesses can input they thoughts on the products.

  • MobileMail notifications for new mail in folders?

    I've noticed that mobilemail will not issue a new mail alert when mail arrives directly into a folder via server side rules. Is there a fix for this? It's incredibly frustrating now that 2.0 allows me to access my work exchange email, 90% of which is sorted by rules at the server to keep it organized. I have to manually launch mail and browse through each of about 20 folders to see if I have new messages - very close to useless.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    I need to chime in on this also...
    I use my Yahoo mail account on my iPhone and while I find it handy that I can access all my Yahoo mail folders, I find it absolutely ridiculous that the iPhone only checks for new mail in the INBOX -- I have to open each and every individual Yahoo mail folder in order to prompt the iPhone to check the contents of THAT folder for new messages.
    Since I use Yahoo mail filters to automatically sort and file incoming messages into appropriate folders, this oversight causes a lot more issues rather than providing convenience unfortunately.

  • Double push notifications for e-mails sent to self

    Since iOS 8 I am getting double e-mail notifications for e-mails which I sent to myself. I also know the cause of this problem:
    It happens with all Exchange-accounts, so I went to verify the Push settings for these accounts. There, both Inbox and Sent are checked. Inbox cannot be unchecked, but Sent can be unchecked. However, this unchecking isn't being saved by iOS. When returing to verify this Push setting, the checkmark for Sent has re-appeared.
    Anyone else with this problem? I have it both on an iPhone 6 and iPad 3 Retina.

    Just once.  I think it has to do with gmail receiving a notification to my inbox and the all-mail folder in gmail; but I can't figure out how to set up so it only advise a new email once.  I'm using the native email application on my ipad and iphone. 

  • HT201342 Are there any setting or some way to show notifications for new email without open Apple Mail app ?

    Are there any setting or some way to show notifications for new email without open Apple Mail app ?
    You know , I am an OCD . I alway's close my Mail app and miss many important new emails .

    What I do is open the Mail.app, then click the red traffic light (upper left corner of the main Mail.app window) to close that window. The app itself will remain running and you will get updates - this helps keep the desktop tidy while while the mail app remains running. When an update is received, simply click the either the mail icon in your dock or go to the Mail.app menu and click Window > Message Viewer.

  • Mail constantly checks for new mail; downloads same emails repeatedly HELP!

    For the last three days (since 19th), Mail has been downloading the same emails over and over again. I first noticed a problem when about 20 spam emails that usually route to my Junk folder appeared in my Inbox. I thought I had just moved it incorrectly and deleted them, then they appeared again later.
    The mail jogger cycle (next to Inbox) keeps turning and turning like it can't stop checking for new mail. How do I get it to stop?? The emails are multiplying like gremlins in my Inbox and driving me nuts!
    Also, it only downloads new emails when I first open the app. I have to force-quit out of Mail, then reopen, and I will get a couple of new emails, and then ALL THE EMAILS FOR THE LAST THREE DAYS AGAIN.
    Mail was working fine for me until three days ago. The only thing I've changed recently is a Software Update on the 15th for QuickTime and iTunes.
    Please help! I tried to Repair Permissions and it didn't do anything. I also tried removing all messages from the server and that did nothing either.

    UPDATE: I think I got it to stop checking mail. I have Yahoo mail and I checked my email through online Yahoo. I was able to delete a bunch of emails and it suddenly stopped checking for email in the Mail app.
    HOWEVER, it will NOT remove some of my junk emails. I was able to delete over 100+ of them. But one specific message (which I now have 8 copies of) will not go away. It is one of those 'Delivery Status Notification' emails. Is this a virus??
    I've tried Erasing Deleted Messages and Erasing Junk Mail. Neither helps. These emails won't go away.
    Help please! I would be very grateful.

  • Is it possible to keep an email account on the iPhone but stop if from checking for new mail?

    I have an email account that has been deleted from the provider (Gmail), but I want to keep the old mails on my phone, while stopping it from checking for new mail.  Is this possible? 
    If I disable the account to stop if from checking for new mail (and producing a bunch of annoying pop-ups every time the mail app is opened), the account becomes invisible and the old mails disappear.  I want to keep them visible to I can read and refer to them, but want to stop the phone from trying to download new ones or check the account.
    Any help appreciated. 

    Thanks for the thought.  In this case, that doesn't really help much, as it requires a bunch of button pushing just to check emails.  Plus, if I'm not mistaken, in addition to switching modes every time I check email, it also prevents the other accounts from downloading the most recent mails as well.  Since it's possible to keep an account on a Mac computer, but take it offline, it's very disappointing if there isn't a way to do the equivalent on an iPhone so that it passively holds the mails but doesn't send constant pop-ups every time the app is accessed.

  • OSX Mail not checking for new mail on wake from Sleep.

    Since upgrading to 10.6.4, my iMac no longer checks for new mail when waking from sleep. I have to manually Get Mail, and then it keeps up to date as normal. RSS feeds get updated fine. I am using MobileMe mail.
    Any ideas? I have restarted Mail and rebooted the computer. Nothing obvious in the logs.

    I think you will find this is a product of the use of the IDLE command. When the computer is asleep, but you have not quit Mail and logged off, the MobileMe server try to contact the Mail app to "push" emails. Not finding any response from Mail, the account is logged off. Quitting Mail and relaunching should restore -- does it?
    You can test this by deselecting to use IDLE in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced.
    Most people, who leave Mail running, would only allow the display to sleep and not the computer.

  • Email automatically checking for new mail !

    Has anyone else had this problem.
    As far as i'm aware my iPhone is set to only check for new mail manually, but on making a phonecall it automatically checks for new mail and pings up on my iPhone.
    Push is off, Fetch new data is off, and advanced setting are all set as 'Manual'.
    Any luddite mistakes i may be making ?
    Thanks,
    Scott.

    Mine only seems to do that at 11:30PM.
    Don't ask why the time.. nothing consistently triggers my random email fetching.

  • Check for new mail not working on one account

    For a number of months now I have been having trouble getting new mail. I have my Apple Mail 2.1 preferences set to check for new mail every minute and play a New Mail Sound when something arrives. This seems to be working for my earthlink POP account but not my dot.mac e-mail account. The only way to get new dot.mac e-mail on my G5 tower is to alternately click on the left most icons for the different incomming tray icons in my in box, then the InBox icon itself. I dont have to do that for my second e-mail account--an earthlink POP account, or on either account on my laptop. Also, When I do click on the specific in box for my dot mac account, it takes forever to load that new mail, and the activity monitor shows that it is caching every attachment that is already in my in box even though it is already old mail.
    Also, Mail seems to be following Smart Mailboxes arbitrarily. For instance, I have a smart mailbox set up to display any incoming mail from someone in my Family Group from address book, however it seems to ignore about half of these, but display the other half accurately.
    Anyone know whats going on or how to fix it so I dont have to mannually keep checking for new mail? Again, I have my preferences set to check for new mail every minute and to play a new mail sound, and new mail does work fine from my Earthlink POP account.
    Thanks for your help.

    If this happens to your .Mac account only, try rebuilding the mailbox, i.e. select it and do Mailbox > Rebuild.

  • Checking for new mail icon next to mailbox seems to have disapeared

    After upgrading to OS X Mountain Lion I noticed that the icon next to each mailbox that shows when checking for new mail is not there.  I wonder if anyone else has noticed this, and if they have found a fix?

    Yes, the little "spinner" is gone with Mountain Lion.  It's checking mail, you just don't see it.

  • Mail stops checking for new mail until closed and re-opened

    This problem began a month or so ago and is only getting worse by the day.  I have my Mail app set to check for new mail every minute, but recently it randomly stops checking at all and displays the triangle icon next to each Inbox.  I have 10 different email accounts that I use Mail to check and they are a variety of different types from Exchange servers, to IMAP accounts, to POP accounts, iCloud, Outlook.com, Gmail, etc.  Part of the time only 2 or 3 inboxes are affected, while other times (more recently) it’s ALL accounts.  Clicking on Get Mail doesn’t help; no new mail is downloaded.  The only way to get Mail to “wake up” is to close the app and then re-open it.  When I do that, there is a flood of new mail that pours in to each account that had been offline.  There are never any error messages telling me that anything has happened.  I just know that Mail is stuck because of the triangle icon. 
    Also, there are times when my busiest account mysteriously has no new messages over a few hours, which is very unusual. Closing and re-opening mail will resume downloading mail again to that account.  At least for awhile...
    I thought I’d solved the problem by thinking that my router was only working intermittently, so I replaced it with a new Time Capsule.  The problem did not go away.
    I’ve talked to Apple Support and they’ve not been any help.  I’d welcome any suggestions.

  • Since updating to Mavericks, Mail doesn't work properly.  It just stops working (no error messages--it just won't check for new mail) and I must shut it down and reopen it to get it working again.  Any suggestions?

    Try to force quit the mail app
    Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.
    Failing that, go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars and remove your account info then put it back in and see if that works

  • OSX 10.5.8 / Mail.app 3.6 - Mail.app No Longer Auto-Checks For New Mail

    Since I upgraded to 10.5.8, Mail.app does not appear to be checking automatically for new mail. Regardless of how I set the preference (Every 1 Minute, Every 5 Minutes) it never checks for new mail, and I always have to click on "Get Mail".
    I've verified this by opening the Activity WIndow and watching it for more than 5 minutes, with the preference set to 1 and 5 minutes between checks. I don't have time to test the longer intervals right now.
    Mail.app is at version 3.6, modified yesterday morning at the same time that I used Software Update to apply the 10.5.8 update (from 10.5.7). I've used Spotlight to make sure that this is the only version of Mail.app on the drive.

    Never mind...for the account in question, the "include this account when checking automatically" option was unchecked. Not sure how that happened...
