Iphone missing auto-check messages

I just got my wife an iphone and when I went to set her auto-check for her email in her settings she doesnt have that option.....anybody have any ideas? Thanks!

Push-IMAP is an IMAP protocol that doesn't require the incoming mail server for the account to be checked for new messages. As soon as a new message arrives at the incoming mail server for the account, the server "pushes" the message to the email client being used to access the account - in this case the iPhone's email client because a free Yahoo Push-IMAP account can be accessed with the iPhone's email client only - not with another email client on your computer.
You have the option on the iPhone to access the account as Push or standard IMAP with the option to check the incoming mail server for new messages as with any standard email account.
The Push protocol is designed to save battery life but you may find this isn't so.

Auto check in Mail App on iPhone 4

Hi,
Sometimes the Mail App automatically checks for new e-mails and alerts me... but not always.
A few times in the last couple of weeks I've missed staying in "live" contact with friends because the Mail App did not check for new messages at all until I began to compose a new message and the app would then download the e-mail hours after it was sent.
I've googled the issue but the only thing I can find is to use "auto checking" in Settings, but that does not exsist anymore it seems.
Can anyone help?
Cheers

New emails should automatically get pushed onto your device; however if you have read your emails on a different computer or device it will still show as unread on your iphone.
follow the following steps make sure that they are right:
Settings
Mail Contacts Calendar
Fetch new Data
Ensure that “Push” is on
Ensure that “Every 15 Minutes” is selected
Go down to advanced
Select the accounts outstanding and change them to “Push”

Anyone know why the Auto Check feature is not on my iPhone?

When watching the Finger Tips it shows under settings then mail there is an auto check feature. I am missing it

No problem. The rationale for it is that, since Yahoo emails are supposed to get "pushed" to the iPhone, you don't need AutoCheck.
The problem of course is that yahoo push email has not been very reliable for some people.
The way around this is to set up another (non-Yahoo) email account on the iPhone, even if you don't plan to use it. This will make the AutoCheck feature show up, and you can turn it on to catch the emails that don't get pushed.

Auto check on iphone

Hey everyone.. My question is.. for some reason my auto check option on my iphone is m.i.a.. does anyone had this problem or knows how to get that back for my iphone?

I wish they would just add the autocheck feature to the Yahoo mail, and we can forget about the unreliable "push".
I had to point out this missing feature to an Apple store employee. She didn't beleive me. I had to explain that the Yahoo! Mail doesn't have this option 'cause it's supposed to push...which it's not doing reliably.

I have iphone 3gs. I upgraded its software through itunes but it stopped reading sim. Then I restored but since then iphone is locked with message to insert a carrier compatible sim. I've checked my sim is ok. How to restore the iphone?

I have iphone 3gs. I upgraded its software through itunes but it stopped reading sim. Then I restored but since then iphone is locked with message to insert a carrier compatible sim. I've checked my sim, it is ok. How to restore the iphone?

I'm going to make some guesses here. You bought your phone second hand. In other words, not from Apple and not from your carrier. What you got is a hacked phone that was originally carrier locked, most likely to AT&T in the US. You are NOT in the US. (If I get any of this wrong, please tell me).
What has happened is when you updated the software, it was re-locked to the original carrier. ONLY the carrier can authorize an unlock. If it is locked to AT&T, you're out of luck as they WILL NOT unlock an iPhone for any reason.
If it's locked to another carrier, you will have to find out what carrier that is (you can NOT tell by looking at the model number) and find out if they unlock iPhones. If you can't find out, or if they do not, then your only real option is to sell the phone and purchase one from a LEGITIMATE source.
You can find out who the supported carriers are here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937

IPhone 3G: Automatic send/receive notification (wha happened to auto-check)

Anybody know where the auto-check feature for emails is for the 3G? I don't get email alerts every XX minutes with the new 3G. I have to login to the mail app every time to check, which *****!

I would also set the Push to Off, so that your phone won't be waiting for new messages all the time. Also set the fetch time to an hour or manual. Here is an except from tiphub:
This is another battery saving tip, if don't need to get your emails immediately using Yahoo, Mobile Me or have setup your corporate Microsoft Exchange, then disable push by going to Settings > Fetch New Data > Set Push to Off. Emails will then be based on the Fetch time below on the same screen.
Set the fetch time for the email to an hour or manually to optimize your battery life the most.
There are other tips on there as well:

Hi bhagath1339,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
The first troubleshooting steps I would recommend in this situation would be restarting and if the issue continues, resetting the iPhone.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue continues after restarting and resetting, it may be necessary to restore your iPhone to isolate software versus hardware. Please follow the attached article if you need assistance restoring the device.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

Have a great day,

Auto-Check Not Checking

I have my iPhone's setting to check for new e-mail every 15 minutes. However, it does not automatically check every 15 minutes. It winds up not checking until I go into the mail account to see if I have any new e-mail. I have both Yahoo and AOL accounts on it. How can I resolve this issue, so that it will check for my email?

I forgot to include that I tried turning off the recent mode but that made it so I couldn't receive email at all, even using the manual check. It would connect and check for mail and the new email counter would go up to 25 and then it would finish without actually showing any of the new messages. Strange.
The auto-check has worked a few times since I first posted about this - I'll update if I figure it out.
Thanks!

IPhone sensor ( auto rotate ) Doesn't work !!

Hello
I bought an Iphone 4S-16G last week and I understood that on of my Iphone sensor ( auto rotate ) doesn't work it means when I landscape my iphone my messages or photos or in a games doesn't rotate , Now what should I do ?
I already restored and turned off and turned on and checked rotation option in portrate oriention by double clicking but it didn't work .
Please Help me .

oops my bad, you did say exactly that you had tried that. Sorry. Also you already Restored too. Only thing I could add, is to Restore as New iPhone, at end of Restore when prompted Set Up as New iPhone. And then see if better. Anyway, iPhone 4S has full Warranty, make Genius Reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution.

Where did "Auto-Check Mail" go?

I was trying to check if my auto-check was enabled and I can't find it. I did some searching and found this article.
It says to go to Settings > Mail > Auto-Check. But when I go to Settings > Mail there is no Auto-Check. I only see:
Accounts
Yahoo!
Add Account...
Messages

Preview
Minimum Font Size
Show To/Cc Label
Ask Before Deleting
Sending

Signature
Default Account
I see nothing about Auto-Check. If I go into my default account (Yahoo!) I see:
Account (ON/OFF)
*Yahoo! Account Information*

Within ^ Advanced I see:

Use push mail (ON/OFF)
I don't remember having this much trouble finding it before. Is there something wrong with my iPhone, or did Apple change it in an update and I haven't heard about it?
Thanks for any help.
Maybe I'm just tired and it's staring me right in the face. I dunno...

Hello Garner, this is what to do, from iphones main screen go to settings, then mail, tap on your Yahoo account, tap advanced, you will then see an option to turn Push email on/off (provided you have 1.1.1 software on your iphone) toggle Push off, return to the main screen, go back into settings, select mail, you will now see the option for auto check- manual, 15min, 30min, 1hour. Hope this helps, Steve...

When my husband set up his new iPhone I read a message wrong when it popped up on my phone and now our messaging is synced. Is it because we have the same apple ID? Do we need to change that?

Yes, its best to have each individual apple ids. You can also go to settings, messages, send and recieve, start new conversation from, make sure there is a check mark beside each of your own individual email, not the same one on each phone.

What version of iTunes are you currently running? To check, in iTunes go "Help > About iTunes" and wait for the version number to scroll up from the bottom of the screen. For example, I see:
iTunes: 10.5.2.11

Hi Chris. Thanks, for the suggestions re: my email issues. They were helpful and yes I did check all items you referenced. I even contacted Apple support and spent about 40 minutes on phone checking all settings. However, after all these efforts, my mail and calendar issues were not resolved. Apple Support finally recommended deleting the mail account and then reloading it - and it worked! I am now receiving my emails and calendar appts. in real time again.
Just wanted to share this in case anyone elest has a similar problem with mail/calendar after downloaing i.O.S. 8.1 onto iPhone 5.
Thanks, again.
Jesse
