Mail push not working on iPhone 4

For some reason my mail and apps icon are not displaying the red circle badges that indicate how many unread mail/available app updates are present. I have to open up mail for it to update, after which point the red badge is displayed on the icon...Anyone else having this problem, and any possible solutions?

When email push stops working for me, I simply quit and then restart the Mail app and it starts working again. This works for both my Yahoo and Exchange accounts. Still, it seems there is obviously a problem that needs to be fixed (since most folks will purposely and/or inadvertantly leave the Mail app running all the time).
Btw, when I say "quit", I mean exit out of the Mail app (you can't quit an app that you are currently "in"), bring up the multitasking bar (double-click the Home button), enter jiggle mode (hold down any running app's icon and wait), and then press the minus sign on the running Mail app's icon.

  • Yhoo mail Push Not Working?

    He,
    iPhone 3GS OS 3.1, Yhoo mail Push Not Working?
    thanks

    I have also been having the Y!Mail push issue. I noticed it several weeks ago. It used to be that I would get the email push almost immediately after Y!Messenger told me that I received an email. I now will receive the email push sometimes 30 minutes later, sometimes 40 minutes, sometimes hours later. And sometimes never, because I opened up the Mail widget and it does the fetch. Here is what I have done so far (I do hard restarts each time I make a change): I deleted my Y mail account on the iPhone and added it back. No workee for me. I turned wi-fi off so that I am on 3G. Nope - no pushes. I turned on all of my secondary mail servers. Still no workee. I removed all my installed apps, thinking one of them might be causing interference, but no difference. I have performed Restores on the iPhone with no change. I contacted Y!Mail Tech Supt. We swapped emails a couple of times; still don't get the email pushes. Last email from them requested that I send some information to an AT&T employee who would be working on this issue. Well, I sent the info but haven't heard back from him. Very frustrating.
    So just to see if it was my iPhone or a system problem, I sent a test email to my wife's iPhone 3Gs. I sat with the phone for over an hour and no email push. I asked my brother(iPhone 3G) if he gets his email pushes. He says he has never received an email push from Y!Mail since he got the phone last spring.
    So is this an Apple issue? Or Yahoo? Or AT&T? Should I make an appt at the Apple Genius Bar and see if one of their gurus can fix it? Maybe one of the Apple iPhone techs that monitor this forum can chime in.

  • "Push" E-Mail still not working with iPhone!

    I'm not sure what the problem is here with Yahoo and Apple but to this day I still encounter very big issues with push E-Mail regarding Yahoo and Apple...it just doesn't work! I now have a new iPhone (2G, 16GB) because I dropped my old one and the screen cracked (cement ouch). Anyways I got my new phone last week (via eBay) and once again push mail is not working. I either have to manually check or mail comes in when it feels like it...in some cases HOURS later! Or if my phone is locked/asleep the mail doesn't come into my phone until I pick up my phone and start using it. Yesterday I went to go use my phone, I slid the slider to unlock it to bring me to my home screen, the mail icon showed no mail. The next thing I know all this mail starts pouring into my phone (22 messages to be exact)! I was like geeze...this is so messed up!

    Push email continues to not function properly for me as well. The only time it ever works is if I'm actively on the phone after its been sleeping for a while, or when it polls for my other email accounts (in which case I get my "push" email at the same intervals as my regular email, making push worthless).
    None of the other functions of the iPhone does this. When I receive a call or SMS text message, my phone notifies me immediately. What is the purpose of having "push" email that notifies me when I received new mail if I have to still manually check my device? This has been one of the iPhone 3G's weaknesses since launch and STILL has yet to be fixed.
    Running iPhone 2.2. Software 2.2.1 did not address any changes with Mail.

    Yahoo mail password not working on new iPhone 5

    Hello tifftann,
    I'm sorry, I'm a bit unclear what exactly you mean when you say that your Yahoo account "stop[ed] working". If you are having issues sending or receiving from the Yahoo mail account you have configured on your iPhone after a recent iOS update, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

  • Me outgoing mail server not working from iPhone / Reply to email address

    Hi, I have MM sent up on my iPhone and Mac, the SMTP outgoing mail server does not work from the iPhone but does from the Mac, to get around this I changed the outgoing server on the iPhone to my optusnet outgoing server, that has been working fine, the problem I have is if someone reply's to a email from the phone it gets bounced back becuase the reply to email address for me is @mac.com not from @me.com
    I have tried to change the reply to email address in the phone but it only allows you to change the name not the @mac.com
    I have only ever had a Me account not a .Mac account so I dont know why its locked to @mac

    I deleted the MM account on the phone and reinstalled it again. Now it is working.

  • Push not working on iPhone 4 (Orange UK)

    Anyone else having problems with this?
    Am I missing something obvious?
    I've got Notifications turned to 'On' under settings but I don't seem to be getting any (none for Facebook, Gmail, Game Apps etc). The only time the a number in a red circle appears is when I manually open Mail, Facebook etc.
    Anyone have any ideas? Could it be a problem with my network (Orange) not setting it up correctly their end?
    Cheers

  • Mail account not working in iPhone

    One of my POP mail accounts is suddenly not working - I click on the inbox and it shuts down. Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Try these as needed:
    1. Reset phone - press both home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears.
    2. Delete and reinstall the account
    3. Restore phone in iTunes using a backup
    4. Restore as a new iPhone

  • Mail Push Not Working:  Keeping Work and Personal Separate but together!

    My understanding (and a big reason I dropped by Blackberry) of Mobile Me was that if I READ an E-mail on iPhone and then deleted it, it would delete it from my iMac at home (or MacBook for work). This does not seem to work? I know there are some issues still with MobileMe so I am trying to be patient.
    Do I not have my synche preferences set up right? I want to keep my work (MacBook) mail and contacts separate from my personal (iMac) mail and contacts while receiving both on my iPhone. I want the calenders to merge. Is this possible? How do I set up my preferences on each unit to get this work?
    I would imagine there are others out there like me (anyone? anyone?) so hopefully this will be something someone can answer. Thanks!

    Has anybody had success with this solution?

  • Delayed arrival of new emails in Mail - push not working

    I work a lot with my iPhone and laptop side by side. When I receive a new iCloud email it pushes instantly to my phone. My laptop (MacBook Pro, 2013, running latest Yosemite) doesn't ever notify me at the same time.
    The send/receive frequency is set to Automatic in Mail, but emails always take 2-3 minutes to come through.
    Has anyone else experience this, or have experience in fixing it?
    Many thanks.

    What type of email account are you using? If gmail or yahoo, there have been several posts on this (particularly with gmail) and what I remember seeing is you may need to go into your email account on your PC and change the mail settings to push to you. Do a search here on the forum and just type in gmail. You'll likely find a better answer than I just offered.

  • Push not working to iphone

    I turned on push for contacts and calendars on my iPhone and now calendars and contacts are blank on the iphone, it also deleted my saved contact info for favorites, but left the phone numbers...
    There is data in iCal and address book on my mac, and it got pushed to mobileme. ***? why did it delete my iPhone?
    I've tried rebooting it, turning push on and off, turning push for contacts on and off... still no data on my iphone.

    a full itunes restore is not necessary - "restore all settings" within the iphone is enough to do it. no data removed, just takes a few mins to update over wifi. they're working hard to sort things out i think!
    .me online ical / contacts apps are still crapping out though - either takes a long time to show data, or fails completely.

  • Yahoo! mail does not work on iphone 4

    I have created a brand new password for my Yahoo! Mail, deleted the account on my iphone, reinstalled the Yahoo! Mail account on my iphone, and I'm still getting an error message saying it cannot complete my request.   HELP!!

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • TS3899 Since i have updated my iphone 5s to ios 8 or higher, the push mail does not work automatically, i have to refresh manually !

    Since i have updated my Iphone 5S to IOS8 or higher, the push mail does not work automatically, i have to refresh manually, I haven't this problem with earlier versions !
    I use Microsoft Exchange Mail server.
    Even with Iphone 5 and IOS8, the problem doesn't exist !

    Why would you expect it to work in 8.3, if it didn't work in a previous version? What troubleshooting have you done? Have you tried putting the car system into Pairing mode?
