IPhone 3GS email notification

So I have an iPhone 3GS that I got about a month or so ago. I have a mobile me account for my email, which updates to the iphone automatically. Everything used to work fine, but ever since the iphone software update to the 4.0, Ive been having the problem that I will get a notification of new mail (the sound and icon on the main iphone screen) but no mail will show up at that time in my inbox.
Sometimes, when I go into the mail app, there will be the indication of new mail, both next to the inbox label and also when I go into the inbox at the top, but the actual mail will not show up, sometimes for a few hours and sometimes for a day. the mobil me also updates to my imac at home.
The iPhone update to 4.01 didnt help at all.

Hi there. I have had this exact problems during the whole day. My mail app crashes after 3-5 seconds. I have tried resetting, force quit, restarting etc. with no luck. But I have now solved my iPhone´s behaviour. I have Mobile Me mail and I got a "non dilevery report" in my inbox this morning. After manually deleting that specific mail from my iMac, the iPhone now work as it should. Mail app work fine. To check this; I put the "non delivery" mail back from thrash folder into inbox (from iMac). Then iPhone mailapp starts to crash again, and when I again deleted the mail from my iMac then iPhone mail stopped crashing and now works great. I have no idea why, but it solved my problem. Hope this help!
I have pushmail enabled by the way.

Iphone 3GS Email issue

I just purchased an Iphone 3GS (previous owner of 3G)
Had email setup through Push with my works Exchange server with out any problems.
Now, every so often I try to send an email with an attachment(or forward it)it gets stuck in my out box and won't send.
I have full signal!
Error: "Cannot Send Mail" An Error occurred while delivering your this message.
Ever since I have upgraded to 3GS I have been having issues sending email.
There are a few other people in the office experiencing the same problem with their 3gs, and all of the people with 3g are still not having any problems.
None of the settings at my job have changed at all.
Any help would be nice.

Patience ultimately pays off here.
Sent from my iPhone 3GS
This iPhone 3GS Email was Sent (Put in the Outbox at 3:53 PM.
To confirm the ability to still send email I sent another email at 4:44 PM, no attachment went through and was confirmed received by the recipient at 4:44 PM. Email continues to send, and receive bypassing the stuck larger email in the Outbox.
This Photo is 2.25 MB, all the while when asked to Fetch you will receive the Error on your iPhone saying Cannot Send Mail An error occurred while delivering this message. Though this documentation event is regarding a 2.25 MB file this happens as low as 81 KB, and I believe even smaller sizes. There have still been times when sending files up to 200 + KB that have gone through with little or no delay.
I tested this during an Apple iCare Support session and naturally the email with attachment happened to go through during the Support Phone call.
Checking the size of the attachments they probably weren't the best examples to test with, 55 KB, and 220 KB.
Going into Sent Box...Seems to be an accelerator for the Checking Mail...It also seems to have a positive impact on the sending of EMails with Attachments...I just discovered this but hope this will be valid.

Why are my iPhone 5 email notifications randomly at full volume with iOS7.1.1 upgrade, regardless of the volume settings?

Ever since I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 7.1.1, my email notification ringtone randomly (but infrequently) plays at full volume instead of the assigned ringer volume setting. My normal ringer volume is at about 50%, none one of the other notifications such as "new text message" behave this way, and this behavior only occurs once every 2 or 3 days... independent of battery charge level. There seems to be no pattern to the issue. I know this sounds crazy, but this did not happen with prior iOS versions on this phone. Really annoying when I forget to silence the phone before attending meetings and the super-loud notification ringtone goes off...

If that was in any way unclear, it seems somewhat similar to this user's scenario:

Iphone 3gs emails send but won't receive

I have an iphone 3gs. The tech guy at work gave me the settings to set my email up on a pop server. It sent my test email but it does not receive any emails. The error on my desktop computer email was:
The following recipient(s) could not be reached:
...............com on 1/22/2010 3:55 PM
No route was found for the recipient server. Please contact your system administrator.
The settings are the same for incoming and outgoing mail and I double checked it all. Any ideas?

The likely explanation is that the settings you used for your POP (receiving) server are wrong.
The settings are the same for incoming and outgoing mail and I double checked it all. Any ideas?
The correct settings for the POP server are often different from the SMTP (sending) server.

Iphone 3gs email questions

Hi all,
I have an an iphone 3gs on Orange. My Internet provider is TalkTalk and I have a purchased private email address via names.co.uk
I have set up the email address successfully I believe. But it appears that I can only send and receive emails at home?
I can receive emails via mobile networks but not send ???
Is this because of talk talk ... and do I need to configure an additional outgoing mail server.
ALso ... I ve come via blackberry so fond of push email. I bought my wife an iphone3gs. She has configured a hotmail email, and for some reason, it seems that she gets alerted every time she has an email. where as I have to manually press the mail icon before I can check to see if I have mail. How I can I change this? or is this because I am using a purchased email address name???
Thank you in advance for your technical cures. Please keep them idiot proof thank you so much.
Best
Jon Smith

I have someone that wants to purchase my iPhone 3GS so I could put the money towards my new phone. If I do sell my phone during the time I wont have an iPhone period, will I be able to keep my data plan an a different phone? Even it's not a smart phone? And when I do get the iPhone 4 what must I do to transfer my plan to that phone?
You can put your 3G S sim card in another ATT phone and it will automatically become your present number. Therefore, you can sell your present phone anytime you want. Just don't include the sim card with it. When you get your new phone (if you haven't done anything about requesting one of the new data plans), you should automatically get the same unlimited plan.
The unlimited data plan is nice, but unless ATT changes their minds and allows tethering with the unlimited plan, I think it's of questionable value UNLESS you spend a LOT of time streaming video (read mlb.com or youtube) on a daily basis or streaming music (read pandora.com or sirius).
For the present, I'm keeping my unlimited plan, but over the last 6 months, I'm only averaging about 1.5GB monthly. And that's mostly because I steam the Sirius App about 45-60 minutes daily while I'm walking. I would lean toward going with the 2GB plan IF ATT would kick up the monthly limit to say 5GB for tethering. I don't see myself doing a lot of tethering, but the 2GB would not cut the mustard for me unless I were to give up my Sirius App.

IPhone 3gs Email accounts duplicated on my iPhone

I just joined iCloud and have 2 iPhone 3gs users sharing the same iTunes and iCloud account. Inexplicably the 3 Yahoo! email accounts I had set up on my iPhone prior to joining iCloud are now showing up twice on my phone (so if I have 3 emails in one account it actually shows 6 emails unread). How do I fix this without screwing up my email accounts?
P.S. - If someone could respond in layman's terms it would help tremendously.

I have the same problem with all of my email accounts on my iphone 4S. But it's not the phone, it's something to do with iCloud. I hope someone can answer this question because it's really annoying. I've already removed one of my accounts from the iphone and look online. I'm considering doing the same with my other email addresses.

IPhone 4 email notification problems! Please Help

Email notifications wont work anymore on the iPhone 4 anymore. I have to manually click the email app. Is anyone else having this problem or does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Oh, OK, so your big issue is with Notification Center. Personally, I have mail off in Notification Center, but my iPhone buzzes anyway when locked, which happens to be enough info for me.
But I see your original post says you have set up Notification Center properly to give you visual as well as audio clues you have email waiting, but it's not working.
I wonder if resetting your iPhone would help. Try holding the home and on/off buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.

Question: does iPhone have email notification?

I'm coming from a blackberry world, where the device beeps/vibrates to let you know when a new message has arrived.
Can the iPhone do this?

Yes, the iPhone does this. If you are listening to music, or watching a video, and using the headphones, the audio will even momentarily dip in volume so you can hear the email notification through the headphones.
Otherwise, if you don't have headphones plugged in, there is a standard tone that sounds through the speaker when a new email comes in, in addition to vibe (if you have the notification turned on). However, you can't change the default sound for this action.

Iphone 4 email notification not working

hi,
my issue is simple, i am not receiving email notifications during when the phone is locked. i am absolutely required to receive email instantly and alerted INSTANTLY for my business, as i have a 20 minute guarantee for them.
anyways, in my notifications -> mail section i have the notification center on, badge app icon on, new mail sound ding, show preview on, and view in lock screen on.
yet whenever my phone is locked it doesn't alert me of the new email, ever.
in my fetch settings its turned on, and to 15 mins (can't make it lower)... i dunno what this has to do with anything but i heard it was a factor.
i really need my phone to alert me instantly can anyone help?

IPhone 3GS emailing videos using my yahoo account seem to never send?

1 more issue
When I send videos created on my iPhone 20-30 second videos (small) I can not use my default yahoo account to send the file, they get stuck. I even pay yahoo $20 a year for "mail plus" feature for extra services.
I have had to setup my "cox" mail account and select that account to send videos, my cox account seems to send the videos (although very slow process even on wifi)
Anybody have this issue, seems it would be a yahoo "issue", and not a iPhone hardware or software issue, hence I have found a "work-around" with the cox account???

the answer appears at least three times on the page you posted from - right now they are the next two posts below your post

I want to but this mail on my iphone 3gs ahmed109970@bue.edu.eg

I want to but this mail on my iphone 3gs [email protected]

Roaminggnome,
Ahmed wants to 'put' this on his iPhone. He shows an Egyptian address and Arabic has no 'p' sound, So 'put' would sound like 'but' to him and he typed it the way it sounds.

Have an iphone 3GS, 2 email accounts. My work email account used to work. Now if I send any emails from this account it only appears in my sent box. Recipients internal and external do not receive. IT person cannot figure why occurring. Any insight?

Have a iphone 3GS; 2 email accounts. one is for work. It used to work fine until about Feb 2011. Now when i send emails from my work account it only appears in the sent file. Recipients do not get email.
IT person looked at it & cannot find why this is happening.
Any insight why this is occurring??

This has nothing to do with your iPhone.
If a message is in the account's Sent mailbox, this means the message was successfully sent. If a message cannot be sent for whatever reason, it will remain in the Outbox.
What happens to a message after it was successfully sent has nothing to do with the email client or computer/device used to send the message.

ICloud emails sent from apple mail or iPhone 3gs never arrives, works fine when sent from iCloud website

The ony place I have been able to send and receive email since the launch of iCloud has been the icloud website. I wasn't able to send email from my iphone 3gs or apple mail at all until today, now it finally appears to let me send email but it never arrives to its destination.
I can send an email from the icloud website without issue, and email sent from my icloud account using my iphone 3gs and apple mail seems to send fine and without error but who knows where it goes.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Thanks!
Charles

I figured out how to fix it... if anyone else has this problem, go to Outlook > Preferences > Accounts > select the IMAP account > Advanced > Folders and for "Store Sent Messages in this Folder:" select "Sent Messages (Server)."

I can't access email from my iPhone 3gs since changing email password

Hi all,
iPhone 3s 16GB
iOS version: 6.1.3
ISP Bigpond Cable
I can't access my email from my iPhone 3GS.
This is an iPhone problem, not an ISP problem.
I know this because I can access my email from both my laptop and webmail.
This is occurring here at home via my WiFi network and also a few kilometres away via 3G.
This morning I had to change the password on my Bigpond Cable internet email account.
Whenever I try to access email from my phone I receive the following error:
"Cannot Get Mail"
"The user name or password for "**** *****" is incorrect."
There are two buttons, one captioned Settings the other OK.
Both the user name and password are correct. This happened perhaps 4 or 5 times in the 6+ years I was with Internode and has happened a couple of times in the 20 months that I've been on Bigpond Cable.
I have re-entered my email account and connection details multiple times to no avail.
I have tried deleting the account, then rebooting my phone and creating a new account, but that didn't work.
I tried deleting the account, turning the phone completely off, waiting one minute and then after turning it back on, creating a new account but that didn't work.
I know I am entering the correct settings because before I deleted the account the first time, I took a series of screen captures from the Settings App and I also have the settings from MS Outlook to refer to.
Its as though somewhere in the phone, the old email password is being stored and being used instead of the new one, but I don't know where that could be except in the Settings app, "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" and that is where I am entering the new password.
The only solutions to this problem I found by searching are those that I have already tried and haven't worked for me.
Reverting to the old password is not an option. My account was compromised by Malware, hence the password change and a complete scan of my laptop.
Any ideas?

The problem was resolved by erasing the entire contents of my phone and then restoring it, setting it up as a new phone.

Thank you, razmee209! I must have checked everything 1,000,000 times, but when I just rechecked settings - notification - mail, I now see that Alerts -- both Show in Notification Center and Show on Lock Screen -- were turned off. Can't believe I missed that, so THANK YOU!
