I only get emails on my iphone if mail is open on my mac

So I am not getting emails when mac goes to sleep. Very frustrating.
Anyone else had this problem? Got a fix?
Cheers!

Thanks for your reply. Problem now solved.
It was settings on my iPhone. Server port was incorrect (in account advanced settings) and SSL was on for SMTP server (now off).
Works like a dream now!

Hi LinneaH,
If you are having issues with getting emails on your iPhone or iPad, then take a look at the article below to give you some troubleshooting options to get it working again. Make sure that the settings and passwords are correct for your email and if you still have issues, then you may want to remove the email account from your device and then add it back in.

I receive emails on my Iphone while Outlook is open on my computer but they quickly disappear. Can this be solved?

No. You really can't do that. Not easily at any rate. You would have to set them both up to use POP3, but even then there is no way to guarantee that the phone won't poll the server prior to your computer doing so, pulling down the message from the server.

Live mail is a POP system, everything will be deleted, so backup first.

Not getting email alerts on iPhone 6

I'm not getting email alerts on my iPhone 6.

That's nice.
Do you have a question you would like to ask?

TS4083 Suddenly not getting emails on my iphone 4s until two days ago. This has happened before. Any advice?

I cannot get blueyonder emails on my iphone. It was fine until two days ago. The message on my iphone I am now getting is 'imap4.blueyonder.co.uk is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in mail settings.' Settings are fine

This will be covered by Apple Warrenty. Make appointment with Genius and take iPhone to Apple for resolution.

I stopped getting emails on my iPhone 5s

I upgraded to an iphone 5s and had been getting emails as always, until 2 days ago. Why did I stop getting my emails and how do I get them back?

Well there is your answer, messages in trash are not in the inbox for the pop account to download.
Why your iPhone is putting messages in the trash is beyond me. In thunderbird that usually means Norton or Trend are dumping all messages that are not in the address book, but iPhone has no anti virus Anti spam junk
Is there an option on your providers webmail to junk all mail not in your address book perhaps?

Emails sent on iPhone do not show up on my Mac

I have a few email accounts. For my Gmail account if I send an email on my iPhone, it does not show up on in sent mail on my Mac (or anywhere else for that matter). I am using Apple's Mail application and the emails I am sending from iPhone are also being sent from the mail application as opposed to using the Gmail HTML interface. Gmails sent from my iPhone do show up in sent mail when I open Gmail in a web page. Also, emails sent from my Gmail account on my Mac do show up in sent mail on my iPhone.
I only have this problem with Gmail (my primary email account). My other emails sync up fine between me iPhone and Mac.
Other info:
Outgoing mail server: smtp.gmail.com
Mailbox behaviors: "Drafts Mailbox" and "Trash Mailbox" are listed under Mailbox Behaivors, but there is no "Sent Mailbox" like I have with my other accounts. I have a feeling that this is the root of my problem since I have no way of electing to have my Sent mail stored "On the Server".
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Joelrsny had the much easier fix:
For Sent folder not showing on the iPhone.
ALL of these ways work to add a Gmail account to the iPhone. Its not how you add it, its the settings in Gmail causing these folders not to appear.
Do not add the account to the iPhone first. Go to Gmail.com in a browser, log in to your email account and hit settings at the top right.... Select the Labels Tab at the top. On the right, you will see check boxes. Check all the folders you want to appear in imap accounts. Once you check them, go and add the account by just picking add Gmail account on your iphone settings for mail. ALL the folders you checked will appear...
Done!
