Not pushing email - MobileMe to iCloud

@Apple - please address this issue.  There is a plethora of others with the same problem.
Gear: iPhone4 with iOS5.1.
After a mandatory switch from MobileMe to iCloud I have been experiencing intermitent success with emails being pushed to my iCloud.  Of course, MobileMe worked flawlessly.  Now, it appears as though someone is playing a cruel joke.  Sometimes they come through.  Other times I have to go into the mail app for iCloud to push incoming emails to me.
A "genius" at a store looked at me like I was an idiot and failed to come up with any sort of answer.  I could call apple support, however, I am not excited about paying $50 to get an answer that will most decidedly not help.
Why would apple ignore this issue (forums for 6 months on this very topic)?  We are your loyal customers.  We voluntarily paid $100 a year for MobileMe.
PLEASE HELP!

I've been doing my own troubleshooting and can suggest the following. For us with mobileme migrated accounts, icloud servers are losing the push connection to our devices...specifically the iphones. Or, in some way, our mail app itself is being crashed by the icloud servers. As stated in other threads, if you double click home btn, hold down on mail app, then kill it with the x.......within a few seconds any latent emails will be pushed and "bing"...on ur phone it is.
What I have done is troubleshot to the point where I have added a second email account (non icloud/me.com) which appears to maintain the connection to mail servers or not allow the mail app to crash. I've done this by adding a hotmail account (and only it's mail slider is on) to my phone. The icloud me.com sliders are all on and my hotmail, mail slider only, is on.
So far, fingers crossed, push has not failed to either hotmail and icloud accounts. BTW, am only using 3G connection for these results. Have yet to swap between wifi and 3G. That might shoot my theory down.
Hope this helps fellow mobileme immigrants!!!!

    Why can i not receive email with my icloud account but I can send it out only

    Hi Nortarian,
    The article below will walk you through the troubleshooting steps for email on your iPad:
    iOS: Unable to send or receive email
    If you are unable to send or receive email, try the following steps:
    Restart the iOS device.
    Tap Safari and attempt to load a webpage to ensure that the device has Internet access. If you're unable to load a webpage, try the Wi-Fi assistant.
    Try an alternative Internet connection.
    If your email is provided by your Internet provider, try connecting from the home network.
    If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, try to disable Wi-Fi:  Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
    If not, try a different Wi-Fi network.
    Log in to your email provider's website to ensure that the account is active and the password is correct.
    Delete the account from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and then add the email account again on the iOS device.
    Hope this helps ....

  • I am not receiving email on my iCloud mail account what should I do?

    II am not receiving email on my iCloud mail account what should I do?

    iTunes gift cards are only valid on accounts based in the country in which the card was issued - so if you have a US account then you can only use US gift cards. Do you know anybody in the country where you bought it from that you could sell or give it to ? Or you could try selling it on a site such as eBay.

  • Icloud not pushing email

    I've been using iCloud since launch and have noticed an issue with email. I've been trying to work out what's up but can't find a solution. It just doesn't seem to be pushing. I don't get email alerts in the message center, or in mail unless I open the app first. In settings it's all set up to push but it just doesn't work.
    Anyone else have this issue or a possible solution?

    also, like the author of the thread...

  • Apple ID is not an email address so iCloud doesn't recognize it.

    My current Apple ID is not an email address.  When I try to set up iCloud using my current ID, it automatically adds the "me.com" after it and that is not my actual ID.  What can I do to rectify this? Should I change my ID to an email?  I have a mobileme account, but I can't use that email address for some reason.  I've emailed apple a few times and they can't seem to be able to answer me. 

    Here's my situation, and what I have discovered:
    My family shares one Apple ID for our iTunes purchases. We have two iPhones, two iPads and an iPod touch all running iOS 5 between us. The 'master' Apple ID, that we all use for iTunes, is my e-mail address. I created a separate Apple ID (their own e-mail addresses) for each individual in the family, which is used to connect to the iCloud for the purposes of syncing and backing up to the iCloud.
    The only odd configuration I have found is that each device that I set up with a different Apple ID for the iCloud, also retains an iCloud mail account with the 'master' Apple ID. The e-mail address (the 'master' Apple ID) for this iCloud mail account (called 'iCloud') cannot be changed, although the account can be deleted (which I don't want to try because I don't know the consequences). The only thing I have enabled in this iCloud account is 'Find My iPhone/iPod' so all my family's devices can be seen in the Find My iPhone app using my 'master' Apple ID.
    Using this setup we have been able to maintain our own Contacts and Calendars, all synced to iCloud using our individual Apple IDs.

  • IPhone 5 not pushing emails

    I have a new iPhone 5 3 days old. I had my iPhone 4 backed up to iCloud and restored the 5 to the last backup. My 5 won't push email alerts through even though in settings/mail contact/ calendars the fetch new data is set every 15 mins and advanced is all set to push. If I manually click on the mail icon it downloads the latest messages but it won't do it automatically.  The 4 used to do it fine.
    Please help as I desperately need my mail to notify me as soon as a new email comes through (for work)
    Cheers

    Even though you have Push set to on, I'm not aware of any POP accounts that actually push. I believe you are just getting your mail via the 15 minute Fetch that you have set. And if they were truly push accounts, you would not need to turn Fetch on.
    If you send yourself an email from another device to one account that you say works, does it actually get pushed? What I mean is, do you receive the mail right away, or do you only get mail every 15 minutes as you set your fetch? If you go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Fetch New Data>Advanced, you should see all of your email accounts listed there. What settings do you have there, push, fetch, Manual? I believe only accounts that support Push will have a selection for Push. If set to Fetch, it will fetch on the schedule you have set there, and if set on Manual, they will only check for mail when you open the Mail client. See what settings you have there.

  • Events are not pushing from iPhone to iCloud

    New events created on iPhone calendar NOT pushing to iCloud Calendar (web app), nor to iCal on my Mac event was created about 6 hours ago, still not pushed.
    Events created in iCal on my Mac ARE pushed to iCloud (visible on web app) and to iPhone in a few seconds.

    this is what comes up on my bouncing ICAL
    your request for account "yahoo" failed
    The server responded with

    is there something I need to do to rectify this?

  • ICal events disappeared (not linked to MobileMe or iCloud)

    Hello,
    I run iCal 4.0.4 with MacOSX 10.6.8.
    I recently noted that all events before 6 May 2011 have disappeared and I don't know why.
    The preferences are not set with the 'Delete events ?? days after they have passed' (the box is not ticked).
    I did a test yesterday looking if the events where disappearing but that is not the case, so this morning events after the 6 May 2011 still there.
    My iCal is not linked to ModileMe or iCloud in any way.
    Where are the events before 6 May have gone? Can I retrieve them? Would events continue to disappear?
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks

    You need to ensure that each device (including the MBP) is using iCal from iCloud (NOT a local version of iCal).  Using the MBP as an example, click on the Calendars icon in the upper left corner and look for something similar to the following:
    If it does not say ICLOUD at the top, there's your problem.  Post back and we'll go from there.

  • Not getting email to verify icloud

    I just got the iphone and the icloud will not work. It keeps telling me to check my email and I am not getting any emails.

    Make sure you are checking the email address you used to set up your iCloud account.  Check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.  If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

  • Contacts did not transition from MobileMe to iCloud...now what?

    Running Windows Vista and Windows Mail here.  Which I understand that in order to sync contacts with it requires Outlook on my computer.  That's ok at this point and is not crucial because I can always hard wire the iPhone to iTunes and sync with my computer  that way but my problem is that I cannot get my contacts onto iCloud!!!  When I transitioned from MM to iCloud all my contacts didn't transition.   There is only 1 contact showing in iCloud and that is the [email protected]  THAT'S ALL!  No other contacts are there.
    How do I get my contacts that were on Mobile Me over to iClould now that MM is gone!

    Go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac, then go back and sign back in.  (This deletes the account and iCloud data from your Mac, but not from iCloud.  Your data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)

  • Duplicate email MobileMe and iCloud on iOS

    I upgraded to iOS as an existing MobileMe customer and followed all the steps. ( I also manually signed out of the MobileMe component on both PC and Mac )
    On the iPhone ( I have a 3GS ) it shows just the iCloud in the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" part of  Settings, but in the Mail app under inboxes, it lists iCloud twice, when you scroll down under accounts the top iCloud shows the 'MobileMe icon' the second shows the 'iCloud' icon.
    I have tried deleting the iCloud from the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" yet is didn't delete the MobileMe.
    Has anyone else had this issue, know of a resolution to get rid of the 'old' MobileMe entry ? All emails to my me.com account are now being duplicated. :-(
    Thanks

    Ok, so after I type the question... the suggestion then gives me the answer.....
    This thread had the answer - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3376904?start=0&tstart=0
    I guess my old 'delete' wasn't successful.
    Steps :
    1) Backup iPhone
    2) Settings/iCloud - Delete Account
       - if prompted - keep calendar info on the Phone
       - checked both links were now gone
    3) Shut all apps and did a hard boot
    4) Turned on the Wifi and plugged in the phone
    5) Settings/iCloud - Logged back into the iCloud account
         - Merged data
    6) Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars - Reset the Mail/Contacts defaults
    Back to normal...

  • Ical not pushing from mobileme to ipod touch

    I've recently upgraded my ipod touch and switched from .mac to mobileme. My calendars are syncing OK between my mac and the "cloud" but none of the calendar data is raining down into my ipod touch. I've gone into the touch's system prefs, chosen my .mac account and turned on calendar syncing (the spoke ball spins for a few seconds to say its turning on calendar) but no calendars show up. I've tried turning it off and on again but still nothing. Do I have to go back to using itunes sync with wired connection to get my calendar to show on my ipod?

    probably music sync is not open in itunes,go in itunes,select ipod,select music(you have there summary,music, video,etc.) and turn on music sync then go in summary and press sync and it must work

  • Exchange Push does not push email UNTIL the email is read in Outlook!

    I am having a really strange problem. I have an Exchange (work) account that was working great until recently. But in the last two weeks I noticed email stopped arriving on my iPhone. It appears an email is pushed onto my phone only AFTER I have opened the email on Outlook. Then it is immediately pushed onto the phone. Has anyone had a similar problem?
    I have tried restarting the phone. I have also tried deleting the account and recreating it. None solved the problem. This is really frustrating.

    that's weird. you might want to try a complete restore of your iPhone and set it up as a new phone rather than from a backup.

  • Not getting email verification for iCloud backup
