IPhone 4 Push email interval

Is it possible to change the interval to less than 15 mins?

What do you mean by "different ways" to push email? The very principle of the email push is, instead of your email client (Mail on the iPhone, Thunderbird on your Mac or PC, etc...) periodically polling your accounts for new messages using the username and password you've entered when you created your accounts, the server itself tries to contact your mobile device, and once a correct handshake has been performed, your phone downloads whole messages, or just the headers, depending on how you've set up your accounts in your email client. If you don't want to make to big a dent on your data plan with your mobile phone operator, you can choose to interrogate your accounts manually, or every hour. In any case, Mail usually won't fetch whole messages; it'll often leave pictures behind, depending on the account: on my AOL account, some newsletters aren't fully downloaded, only the headers. On my Hotmail account, every single email will only be downloaded as a header. I'll then have to click on the "Download the rest of the message" link at the bottom of the page to get the full messsage. I guess the differences can be attributed to the server settings your accounts use, but this would have to be confirmed by other users.
I don't use MobileMe, but I'm an avid Gmail and Yahoo! user, and I haven't noticed any incoherence in the data total displayed in my iPhone Settings/General/Usage tab. Now, maybe the right choice of server settings in your email client will let the server know how, when and how regularly new email should be pushed to your email client on your mobile device. For Google's Gmail, you can use Google Sync parameters from here:

As for Yahoo!, they usually provide good info right here: http://mobile.yahoo.com/mail/iphone

IPhone 4 vs Blackberry push email--i.e. is the iPhone TRUE Push Email?

considering hopping on the iphone train, however need to know something about push email that NOONE can answer (not even apple consultants at the store)!
issue: have blackberry now due to need to get emails and messaging immediately as it arrives in gmail and yahoo account, regardless of whether phone is asleep or not. can the iphone do this?
i keep getting the answer of you can go into account settings, select push, but then everyone is thrown for a loop when it comes to the push/fetch settings, i.e. 15 min, 30 min, hourly, manually, etc. e.g. no one can answer whether after the email is "pushed" to the iphone at minute 15 (if that is my setting), and i then get an email in my gmail or yahoo account at minute 16, if that email is immediately pushed to the iphone or i have to wait 'til the next 15 minute interval (or fetch it manually).
also, will the iphone wake from sleep to alert me to an incoming email as long as push is selected--regardless of other settings?
please help!!! and thanks in advance!!!

Apart from the "true push" aspect of email, one feature that is sorely lacking on the iPhone, one that for me is quite literally going to be the deciding factor to return to the blackberry, is the notification feature of true push email provided on the Blackberry.
I'm an on the go business professional. I manage several businesses along side my "day job." While my day job is the most critical, it has two facets and these have two different email addresses from different domains.
In short my device be it blackberry or iphone, has 11 domains address sending "push" email in various forms, pop, imap, and exchange. Of these 11, between the hours of 9-6pm 3 of these domains are absolutely critical that I respond within 15 minutes.
On the blackberry, I'm able to set sound profiles that will allow me to differentiate emails using sound by domain. So each of the 11 has a different sound tone as its alert. Without looking at the phone I can determine quickly if the message that was just "pushed" is of the 3 critical domains and take the appropriate action. Unfortunately, the iPhone doesn't have this feature, not natively, thus all mail gets the same tone.
I get about 30-40 messages an hour, it quickly becomes clear that I'm now tethered to the device just to weed out mail that is important, but not critical.
So factor that mail is not "true push" in all instances and that there isn't an ability to set unique alerts for the different addresses/domains, a great device is rendered inferior and an inferior device is heralded.
The apps that are available to address this, all require forwarding the mail message to a 3rd party. Not happening—Corporate would never allow or condone such.

Iphone mobileme push email

I have 2 Mobileme accounts. Both are setup on my Macbook Pro and my Iphone. However, in my Iphone only one of them allows for Push email. Both are paid for services and not trial accounts. Any workaround?

'Push-IMAP' isn't an Open Standard, so I'd avoid it. I'm not sure the iPhone supports Push-IMAP either (there where some rumours after the initial phone announcements that it would with Yahoo! mail).

Iphone 4 push email

Hi
I would like to use push mail on my iphone 4 but I have a dubt: I know there are many provider that I can use with push (mobileme, gmail, yahoo, hotmail), but surfing the internet seems that they are using different type of push and I would like to understand the differences and how they affect battery life.
Can you help me to understand?

Iphone yahoo push email

is there definitely a plan for apple to fix the yahoo push problem? mine works infrequently but does work sometimes. most of the time i need to retrieve the email. this was the reason i switched to yahoo email.

Push is an IMAP account protocol - check the following:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Push-IMAP
And the responsibility for implementing/providing this protocol is with an email account provider.
The service that RIM providers for Blackberry customers is unique. Apple may choose to provide the Push protocol for .Mac accounts but I think it is unlikely that Apple will develop and provide the same as RIM does for Blackberry customers.
I access an IMAP account (.Mac) and a POP account with my iPhone. I have no problems whatsoever with having my email accounts automatically checked for new messages every 15 or 30 minutes and if need be, I can manually check for new messages available.

Push Email IMAP POP

I'm so confused...!
I just cant get anyone to explain to me how to setup my business email to be pushed to my iPhone. I have people telling me that I need to contact my ISP/HOST and ask them if my email account is push email enabled. Then I get told that my telco is the one that should be push email enabled. So which is it? my ISP or Telco.
Out of curiosity I decided to setup a yahoo account and sure enough, emails are instant. Now how can I do that with (as an example) [email protected]

Most hosts provide only POP access. Some do provide IMAP access (like Gmail on the iPhone).
Push email may be available for mail hosts with Exchange offerings. I'm sure it doesn't come cheap.
Push email is overrated for the normal user. Do people really need their email that quick? I can understand business people who rely on their email for their business, and missing an important email by 10 minutes would be bad.
Most people, having it check every 5-10 minutes will work.

Hi, I m using an iPhone 4 and my yahoo push email was working just fine but for the last few days I am experiencing some problem that is the emails are not getting pushed , I have to manually fetch the mails. So what could be the reason for this....

Hi, I m using an iPhone 4 and my yahoo push email was working just fine but for the last few days I am experiencing some problem that is the emails are not getting pushed , I have to manually fetch the mails. So what could be the reason for this.....I have set the email setting to "push" mode. Moreover I can't edit the mail server address ....current it's on Yahoo SMTP server

Will it get rectified and restored...if so after how long. What could be the reason for such outage kindly share, as I am facing real problem because of this...

Why can't I push emails to 2 different MobileMe accounts on the iPhone?

Makes no sense since I can set up a Yahoo! Mail account as push alongside a single MobileMe account with push mail as well.
Every time I set it up, the second account only gives me an option for Fetch or Manual.

I have the same problem. Here's my setup:
1) I have my own MobileMe account that I use for Mail, Contacts and Calendar syncing on my iPhone and Mac
2) My wife uses my MobileMe account for Contacts and Calendars so we use the same calendars and contacts. We just signed her up for her own MobileMe (trial) account to use just for her own PUSH email.
On her iPhone calendars and contacts sync perfectly via push. When I added her own MobileMe account to use for mail it only gives her the option for either FETCH or MANUAL! This makes no sense whatsoever. I figured it might have something to do with having my MobileMe account associated with her iPhone as well, so I deleted that association but still no options but FETCH or MANUAL for her mail. Prior to getting her own MobileMe account, I her her set up with YahooMail for push email and she was given the option for PUSH.
All of this makes no sense and is highly frustrating! I wonder if there is a reason and a fix? Anyone?

IPhone 3G and Push Email Notifications

Hello everyone.
Before I got my iphone, I used to own a blackberry, and push email was my main form of communication on it. I cannot begin to describe how amazing push email was on the blackberry - the moment an email was sent to my address my blackberry picked it up right away, I'd say within 10 seconds. Now, I have an iPhone 3G OS 3.1 with mobileme email set up to use push email. I don't know if i'm the only person experiencing this...but push notification my foot... sometimes I don't even get notified of emails until I open the mail app myself and do a manual check. I have mobile me on my iPhone set to push, I have push in the settings menu set to on... I don't know what else to do.
I'd be happy to hear of other peoples experiences with MobileMe push mail on the iPhone. My account expires in two weeks...maybe I'd be better switching to push mail with gmail? I might give that a try this evening.
Regards
Seb

Just playing for more hours! Push works lightning fast if you enter anything onto MobileMe, it syncs to Iphone in less than 20 secs, Mail email, contacts and calendar.
The problem is I am using with Entourage 2008 that supposed to sync with Ical and Address Book, this is either not working or coming through ad hoc or taking hours to Iphone, this is not push email like above.
MobileMe is fine as a standalone push system back to Iphone, but what about me using Entourage to manage all my mailboxes and data to iphone.

IPhone 4S - Push: for what email providers ?!

I have an iPhone 4S - my question is about PUSH mail ...
Does iPhone support PUSH only with some email providers - if yes, where can i find a list with these email providers ?!
The PUSH feature is provided by iPhone, or by the providers of email hosting ... to be more precise, iPhone can support PUSH as long as the email provider have this feature built-in ?!
Thank you.

Please, i want a full answer. I thank you for your support randers4 but its not really what i was hoping for ...
Is it or is it not an iPhone feature ?! Or is it a feature of the email providers / email hosting services ?!
For example if i choose to use as email hosting provider an unknown company, a company unknown as in "not on iPhone's for sure email providers with PUSH built-in" will i have PUSH for it ?! Who must provide this feature ?! Apple ?! And if so, it does for all the email providers, or only for a few best-known providers ?! And again, if so, where can i find a list !?
Do all IMAP accounts, no matter who will give you the hosting, support PUSH ?!

Will the iPhone 3G and/or 2.0 software give push email for all email?

..instead of just MobileMe? I'd really like consistent push email for my gmail and yahoo! email accounts similar to the blackberry. Will I be getting this? I don't have a mobileme account nor desire to pay $90 for it.

Then if you don't want to pay for it, you are not going to get it.
Push requires the provider of the email service to give Push abilities. MobileMe allows you to tie it (which has Push) into your other accounts (that don't).
BTW, Yahoo does do push already (has since day 1 with 1st gen iPhones).
Google may one day knowing them.

Iphone randomly stops pushing email

My iphone 5s has recently decided to stop pushing email...sometimes. Today for example all was good until about the afternoon when I didn't get any more email messages, or so I thought, when I checked my computer tonight I had 5 new email messages but my phone showed nothing, it always fixes itself when I open up mail on my phone it gets the new messages then starts to push messages again...until randomly a few days later it stops.
This happens both with the mail app and my gmail app. I can't seem to figure out it's problem. I sometimes turn my wifi off and on when I don't want it to connect at work, but other than that there seems to be no logical reason for this.
All apps and software are up to date. This only seems to have started happening about a month or two ago.
Other things like imessage and texts messages push just fine.

Rachel,
This reminds of me an issue we used to have with iPods -- often times it turns out to be a problem with one or more songs in your library. Were these all songs you purchased from the iTunes store, or did you get them elsewhere?
If elsewhere, you may need to try a rebuild of your iTunes library. Here's the easiest way to start (and to see if this is the problem). First of all, do not do anything without a backup of your music (you need a backup of your music anyway). If you don't already have one use DVD writable media and any backup software and make sure you've written all your songs out. This is particularly important on any songs you've purchased (if they came from CDs you own that can be considered your backup, although you will have to rip them again).
Now go to iTunes and in the library select all your songs (Ctrl-A) and press delete. Now -- be careful here, do not answer "Yes" when it asks you if you want to remove them from your hard drive. They will then disappear from iTunes but still be on your hard drive. Locate them on your hard drive (in Windows use Explorer). They will most likely be in your "My Music" folder but you can also search for them (if they came from outside the iTunes Music store they most likely have the extension MP3). Once you find them do not drag them all over into the library -- here's where we want to test something. Just drag over a few, not more than 10 or 20 (you can drag over a folder or two if each folder contains an album, which is normal).
Try syncing again and if that works then you know a couple of things. After that you can drag all your music back into your library and try a sync and if that doesn't work you know there is something wrong with one or more of your songs. But often this may clear up any problems.

IPhone 4 Google Sync Push Email not Working?

Hi all,
I don't seem to be getting push e-mail on the iPhone. Overnight I sent a couple e-mails to my iPhone, but the phone did not pick up the messages until I manually launched the mail client.
Shouldn't the phone have received a e-mail notification regardless?
I'm using Google Sync with the Exchange Server settings.
I'm on WiFi at home - does Push require 3G to work correctly?
Message was edited by: coolspot

I recently got an iPad and had the exact same problem! - except I'm using Gmail.
I take it you are attempting to set it up through hotmail as you cannot see the Exchange server settings then?
Well, seen as I couldn't get my gmail account to push emails, I set my gmail up with Exchange and have found that the option to enter the server is found later on, did you try entering the required fields in Exchange and proceeding to the next page of the setup?
Settings > Mail, contacts, calendars > Add account > Exchange > enter your email address, password, and description > Then when you press next the server option should pop up where you can enter col-m.homtail.com, leave the domain blank, and re-write your email address in the username.
I am using iPad 4 version 6.0.1 also and this worked for my Gmail.
Hope you get it fixed!

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Please describe in detail how you created the account. Is it specifically created as an Exchange account, or as IMAP? Does it verify during the creation process?

Push email not working since purchasing iPhone 3G

Yesterday I bought an iPhone 3G to upgrade from my old iPhone. With the old iPhone and 2.0 installed, push email worked fine, as did the calendar and contacts to the most part.
When setting my new iPhone up, I told it to set up like my old iPhone which it did, but now push mail is not working. Calendar and contacts are fine, just mail. I've tried switching things on and off, restarting the phone, etc. but all to no avail. I've even deleted the MobileMe (who ever names these things should be shot... from now on I will call it iTools!) account, and recreated it using the assitant on the iPhone, but still nada... I still have to fetch the emails.
Anyone got any ideas. Thanks.

iTools would be a stupid name too. It is not a set of tools, it is a set of features for your MOBILE phone. and it's like Microsoft Exchange whose first letters are M and E. i'm sure that ain't their reason, but it's just fine by me.
As for your problem, I've had some intermittent problems with my mobileme email being pushed as well. i'd say about 75% of the time it works (98.2% of statistics are randomly made up on the spot, including all those in this message!). i just chalk it up to growing pains and hope it fixes itself soon or i'll go back to my Exchange server which has been flawless so far.
