Not recieving email alerts on 3GS

Just purchased the new iPhone 3GS. It doesn't alert me when I recieve new emails. It only checks for new mail when I am in the email screen. I need to be notified imediately when I recieve new mail regardless of what I am doing. Blackberry did. Any suggestions?

You're talking about Push email - that's only available with supported account types, which include Gmail, Yahoo, and MS Exchange. If you have one of those accounts on the phone, make sure that Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data has Push set to ON, and that in Advanced (under Fetch New Data), the desired account(s) show as Push.
If you want an alert tone, also make sure Settings > Sounds has New Mail set to ON.

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Well, are you receiving them at all? To some other folder? Or not at all? I hate to guess...but...if your device OS has the option, you can dictate what shows in Messages and what has separate icons:
    Homescreen > Messages > > Options > (Main Message List Settings) or (Inbox Settings) or (Inbox Management) > uncheck/check what you want to suppress/show in Messages
    Good luck!

  • My ical calender does not send email alerts anymore, now what?

    The alerts are configured correctly, if I look at the alert it says that an email will be send (for ex. 09.00 the day before). However when the moment comes, the email does not. Can anyone help me with this one. This is the case since the upgrade to Mavericks.

    Hi Patrick, I have the same problem as does everybdy else I guess - it just wont work!
    I have set My Card in address book, tested it 100 times and whatever you do it ill not send an email alert? Everything I see on forums blah blahs about setting my card in address book and hey presto but none of it helps.
    Someone MUST know if it will ever work or if it is another issues that apple will never resolve, instead they will just ruin a perfectly nice looking operating system by updating it and making my phone icons and notes / bookshelf etc look like it was bought from Toys R Us instead of an Apple store!
    Did you find a solution to iCal not sending email alerts? DAVID.

    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.

    You managed to wipe your device but don't know how to set your profiles?

  • Not receiving email alerts for CPUs

    I have set up my account with all the information and I have checked off the box to receive email alerts for the quarterly CPUs that come out and I am not getting the email alerts. I double checked my account and the box for alerts is checked. Is there anything that I am missing, ir is there any way to test this?

    If you have not received by tomorrow let us know. Also, keep in mind that MetaLink users also receive an alert, so perhaps your co-workers got that one.

  • Not recieving emails

    I have a unique problem. I am recieving emails on my phone but not on my computer. All my outlook emails go straight to my phone. I am not able to revieve emails on the desktop.

    What kind of email account is it? IMAP or POP
    By default the iPhone is set to leave the messages on the server.
    There may be a delay between when the iPhone get the email and when the server allows the next connection to download the same messages.
    Check your webmail (if you have that option) to see if the messages are on the server.

    Hi Jerome,
    Have you checked the alert address set for your forum profile? That's set by clicking on the 'Quick access' dropdown in the upper left (under the 'Ask a question' button) and choosing 'My settings'. There's a 'Configure alerts' section there where you can
    specify an address to use for alerts.

  • Not Recieving Emails from a Certain Emails Address

    Hi All,
    I am having trouble with my account where I can't recieve emails from [email protected] which I have sent out to people who are members of my website. It seems to be affecting BT email addresses as my dad cant recieve them and he has a BT Email address too. It stop about a month ago then started working, but in the last week or so it doesnt seem to be getting them again. I know that there is nothing wrong with the mails as I have sent them as a reminder. I have been sending them to myself recently just to check if they are going through or not.
    Any Help would be great.
    Many Thanks,
    Benjamin Miller

    Hi again.
    Is this a business account, and does it affect sending to @btconnect.com and @btinternet.com email addresses ?
    Even though the "system" says sent, it doesn't actually mean that the mail servers have actually managed to send. When you say "they think if could be BT's end" - have they checked their systems thoroughly ?
    Some mailing list systems are notorious for being treated as spam sending systems, and the emails could actually be prevented entering end user ISPs altogether by higher order anti-spam filters, such as Spamhaus etc. The end user would then not even see them in their online Spam folder.
    If all other emails are being received as expected, then it seems to point at the originating end - even if users on other non BT ISPs are receiving those emails.

  • Not getting email alert after shutting phone off

    Hi,
    I have a LG Alley. Ususally leave the phone on 24/7 but I've noticed that when I do shut it off and then turn back on my email alert sound doesn't work. I double check the settings and they are there. Eventually, after some time, the alert sounds do work. Anyone know why the alert sound doesn't just kick back in when the phone is turned on?

    I have a similar issue, except with a few quirks.
    My alert settings are set to make a noise and vibrate when I get a text. My silent switch is set to 'normal'. Sometimes, randomly, when I get a text, it will not make a noise; the screen lights up and shows the message, and then after a short delay it will vibrate.
    Similarly, I think I've noticed in silent mode, it sometimes just lights up and doesn't vibrate (which it is set to)
    Any ideas?
