Push e.mail on iPhone 5

What is the problem with push e.mail on the iPhone 5 ?? I took delivery of one on Monday last week and configured the e.mail ( exactly as it is on the iMac and iPad ) and it worked for a few hours ( i.e. alerted when new e.mails arrived ) but then it stopped. Judging by internet reports it appears that it is a problem either with the new phone or the OS BUT PLEASE someone musk know something ???!!!!

Yes, it is normal.
Even when switched off, the battery will still discharge, albeit rather slowly..

IPhone 3GS: Push e-mail now only works on 3GS, not WiFi

Greetings,
Well, my iPhone 3GS (iOS 5.1.1, which it's been running for a long time) suddenly stopped receiving pushed e-mail from my Yahoo e-mail account (the only one of my accounts that offers push) over WiFi at home. Now Push only works when I'm on 3G. It used to work on both. Any ideas?
Thanks,
DM

Have you
- restarted the phone?
- made a hard reset? Simultaneously press the sleep/wake and the home buttons for 10-15 seconds until the device reboots (ignore the shutdown screen).
- force quit the app? When in the app, press on the sleep/wake button until the shutdown screen appears, then press the home button until the app quits.

"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.

Push e-Mail Service into iPhone out of Mac OS X Server?

Will there be a push e-mail (calendar and address book) function in Mac OS X Server soon? Will there be possibilities to use Microsoft's ActiveSync-protocol under Server?
It shouldn't be that only PC-enterprise users can use the new iPhone enterprise functions, or should it?
Thanks
Joe

Hello,
Is there a way to have push email with macosx Server 10.5 and the iphone ? We have all our business on xserve + MacosX server, for the purpose of good interoperability between apple products. But if we can't get push emails between macosx server and iphone this is really a pity. It means we should have gone with Microsoft SMB + exchange ??? I really don't understand the apple politic !!! Apple if you read this, please make an effort toward your business client, bring good tools with good interoperability !!! The equivalent to "mobile me" should be available as an enterprise product.
Regards,
Numa

Gmail with iPhone (Exchange) push & Apple Mail IMAP

Hi, I've managed to get a Gmail account going on an iPhone using the Exchange protocol. Push is working fine. I use Apple Mail to access the same Gmail account via IMAP.
When I reply to a message using the iPhone, the Replied flag (the little 180-degree U-turn arrow symbol) shows up next to the message in iPhone Mail, but this flag doesn't appear in Apple Mail. Likewise, if I reply to the message using Apple Mail, the Replied flag shows up in Apple Mail but not in iPhone Mail.
Basically, I would like push email, but would like the Replied flags to be shown correctly between the email programs.
I've tested this using a few other potential settings with the following results:
* Attempt [1]: iPhone Mail accessing Gmail using the IMAP protocol (no push); Apple Mail using the IMAP protocol (push via IMAP-idle): If a message is replied using the iPhone, the Read & Replied flags are not synced to Apple Mail. However, flags produced using Apple Mail are brought across to iPhone Mail. BUT, if Apple Mail is quit & started up again, the proper Read & Replied flags are shown.
* Attempt [2]: iPhone Mail accessing Gmail using the pre-made Gmail settings (no push); Apple Mail using the IMAP protocol (push via IMAP-idle): Same results as Attempt [1].
* Attempt [3]: iPhone Mail accessing Gmail using Exchange (push); Apple Mail using the Exchange protocol: Can't seem to get Apple Mail working at all. Tried all sorts of settings, but no luck.
* Attempt [4]: iPhone Mail accessing another non-Gmail server using IMAP (no push); Apple Mail using IMAP (push via IMAP-idle): Reading & replying to messages using the iPhone or Apple Mail will always correctly show the Replied flags on the other platform.
* Attempt [5]: iPhone Mail accessing MobileMe using pre-made MobileMe settings (push); Apple Mail using MobileMe (push): Reading & replying to messages using the iPhone or Apple Mail will always correctly show the Replied flags on the other platform.
So the only way to get push email happening with correct syncing of the flags between email programs is to use MobileMe. It doesn't seem possible using Gmail, unless someone can tell me the Exchange server settings for Apple Mail so that it can be tested.

That's the way it works with Exchange, and there's no workaround until Apple fixes it. It's the same for 'regular' Exchange accounts - the replied/forwarded tags applied by the iPhone Mail app aren't seen by Outlook, and vice versa.

Push E-mail/iCal to iPhone

We just setup a SLS 10.6.1 server with collaboration services (Email, iCal, web, etc). Push appears to be working to the iPhone though iCal updates do not. Reading through the discussions, it seems push to the iPhone should not be working at all because it isn't supported?!? I guess what I'm looking for is a clear understanding of whether or not push is working in SLS 10.6.1 to the iPhone. Thanks for any feedback you can provide!

You have email push working to the iPhone? I'd love to learn more about how you have things set up as this is what I have been trying to achieve, unsuccessfully, for a while.
Edit: I should add that I just got a Mac Mini with snow leopard server as I was under the assumption it would be able to push email to the iPhone. Reading the documentation (ServerAdmin_v10.6.pdf, chapter 9: Push Notification Server) it is clearly stated that iPhone OS v 3.0 supports this. It just doesn't work.
I spent a number of hours searching various forums, and based on the posts I found, it seems that the email push never really made it into iPhone OS 3.
So: I'd love to learn the specifics about an environment where this works.

How to setup gmail push notification for my iphone 5?

I'm using gmail. Prompt respond for mails is very urgent for me.
How to setup gmail push notification for my iphone 5?

I switched from a BB to an iPhone a few days ago and I knew I was going to miss the QWERTY keyboard but then I also discovered that my GMail doesn't 'push' to my iPhone. I was used to 'push' for all mail accounts on the BB. I also missed being able to personalize text, email, and phone tones for individuals.
I tried the Gmail app for iOS and it does deliver Gmail to the iPhone app quickly but the text is tiny and when it is a web page it's almost impossible to read.
So, I have worked out a kludge to get around these problems.
I added my exisiting Gmail account to the iPhone.
Hotmail does push to iOS 7 so I created a Outlook account (could be hotmail or Live) using the web browser.
I added the hotmail account to the iPhone. I basically use this to give fast notification of important emails on my iPhone.
On my macbook email client I created a rule that 'redirects' incoming mail to the hotmail account. The 'Redirect' is important since the email will show up in the hotmail account on the iPhone as coming from the original sender and you can then respond to the original sender from the iPhone, though the sender will see it as coming from the hotmail account.
The other downside is that you will get a second copy of the email in the gmail inbox on the iPhone, probably 15 minutes later.
If you don't want all of the mail being redirected you can create a 'redirect' group in the Address book and then adjust the rule in Apple mail to only redirect the mail to the hotmail account if the sender is in the redirect group. You can add and delete contacts from this group depending upon which ones you consider to be important. You will still get two copies of the email on the iPhone, one in the hotmail inbox and one in the gmail inbox.
You can prevent this from happening temporarily by turning off, but not deleting, the gmail account on the iPhone. You could then edit the emails on the Apple email client before turning the gmail back on in the iPhone.
And finally if you use the VIP feature in email on the iPhone you can create a list of VIP contacts and then assign a different notification sound for the VIP's. So in effect important contacts mail will be redirect to the iPhone for quick notification and very, very important contacts will have a different notification sound.
I'm basically using the Hotmail account as a notification tool and basically delete all the emails in it since the original copy will be in the gmail account.
And best of all it's all free, except for the bandwidth.

Fix for anyone having "push" E-Mail issues...

I finally found a fix for push E-Mail (hitting your phone automatically without you manually having to check.) It works like a charm and my push E-Mail has been working for two days now without one problem.
Turn off "push" in mail/contacts/calendar/fetch new data
Under mail/contacts/calendar/fetch new data go to the "advanced" button...make sure all accounts are set to "manual"...
reboot your phone...
Go back to mail/contacts/calendar/fetch new data and turn on push again...then go to the "advanced" button and set all of your accounts back to "push".
Reboot the phone and you are all set!
This is one of many bugs with Apple/iPhone that after 3 years still have not been addressed. Thanks to Google that supplied the fix. Hope this helps others who still fight this battle...

Thanks for the information, I was having a difficult time getting Push to show up for my daughter's iTouch. I had no problem with my iPhone. I couldn't understand why the Push feature was missing from her iTouch.

Push E-Mail without paying for mobileme

What email accounts are "push compatible" with the iPhone without subscribing to mobileme?

You can access a free Yahoo account with the iPhone's Mail client.
When using the Yahoo account preset when creating the account, the account is created as an IMAP account with Push access, which can be turned off for automatic fetch access, or manually checking the account for new messages.

Mail on iPhone

Hi
II've been using mail on iPhone and iPad since I got both. They are both set up to not remove emails off the server. And previously once they were on the devices, the stayed there even after the emails came off the server (I have a pop account).
For the last 6 weeks the emails on my iPhone seem to drop off the end after a week. My iPad is still working as normal and they are all still there until I remove them from the device. I went into the Apple store and they couldn't see any reason for it And checked all the settings and they the same on both. They did a settings reset on the phone but it made no difference, the next step is to back up and reformat, but they said I would lose all me texts etc.
Last night I had a look at the storage used by mail on the iPhone and it was showing that it was using 90MB in the usage for mail alone. I thought maybe there was a limited amount of space I could use for mail app. I deleted a lot of emails and emptied the trash folder and have about 20 emails left on my phone (none have attachments) and restarted and it was still reading as 90MB in size. I have received 3 emails this morning (no attachments) and now it's reading as 98MB. Overall my phone still has 17.8GB of free space.
Any ideas?

Hopefully future updates by Apple will include these features without having to pay for some expensive add on but, for the moment, this is worth the price for me.
I wouldn't hold your breath. Does the email client used on your computer for accessing the account provide these features without a 3rd party add-on? And I'm talking about any non-Microslop email client.
I think not.
This requires an add-on to mimic IMAP account behavior with a POP account. If Apple did so, they would need to copy the company's product for this add-on that is available for the Mail.app on a Mac and with the iPhone's Mail application. I'm sure the developer for this add-on has their product protected to prevent any other company from copying the product to be incorporated into a non-Microslop email client to mimic IMAP account behavior with a Hotmail account. More than likely the developer has a licensing arrangement with Microslop of some sort - they must in order to make their product work. Microslop certainly doesn't provide this with their email client on a Mac - with Entourage.
A much easier and what should be a free option for everyone with a Hotmail account is for Microslop to get their copy machines going again and support IMAP account access with a Hotmail account - just as Google does with a Gmail account. You can access a Gmail account as a POP, IMAP, and now as an Exchange account. When creating a Yahoo account with the Yahoo account preset with the iPhone's Mail application, the account is created as an IMAP account with Push access. Microslop could do the same for the iPhone's Mail application if they wanted to, or simply support IMAP account access with a Hotmail account with any email client - with an email client used on your computer for accessing the account and with the iPhone's Mail application as with any other account that supports IMAP access.

Yahoo Mail on iphone problem

I do have yahoo mail on my iphone for a while and it was working perfect.
Few days ago I got:
Cannot Get Mail The user name or password for "[email protected]" is incorrect.
I do not have any problem when I login from my PC with same User name and password.
When I try to set up my email from I phone again. Here is what I got:
Cannot Get Mail The user name or password for “imap.apple.mail.yahoo.com” is incorrect.
I can make all my friends’ yahoo mail work on my I phone but only the one mail account used to be working fine does not working now.
Can someone help me?

I've had Yahoo Mail Plus for over 5 years without any problems (Yahoo Mail "Plus" means you pay $20/yr to get POP mail access using a standard mail clients). But since I got my iPhone 3GS, I've been having frequent problems accessing Yahoo Mail from my Mac Mail client, via web browser, etc.. My iPhone replaced a Treo 700p, and I used to have no problems, even with two Mac Mail clients and the Treo accessing my POP mail every 5 minutes. Now, since my frequent problems started, I've cut way back on the POP access on all my mail clients (which Yahoo Support told me to do), but the problem persists.
QUESTION: Do you guys with problems have the standard (free) Yahoo Mail, or Mail Plus with POP access?
THEORY: When I got my new 3GS, it automatically imported the mail settings from my Mac Mail client. However, instead of keeping my POP settings for Yahoo Mail, it changed the setting to the Push/IMAP for my iPhone. The Push settings would be great for most people, but not so much for people with Mail Plus who access mail with POP settings. The problem is, when an email client accesses POP mail, it tells the IMAP mail client that all email has been read (when it's simply been downloaded). I think Apple should not, by default, import Yahoo Mail settings which are set to POP, and then change the settings to IMAP on the iPhone -- at least ask the user before making this change. Anyway, my uneducated theory is that the simultaneous IMAP and POP access to my Yahoo Mail Plus account screwed something up, and now I keep having problems accessing mail. I've since deleted the default Push Yahoo Mail account from my iPhone, and set it up from scratch as a POP account. But my mail problems persist.
Also note that, a detailed debug message I get sometimes (usually with error code 5, though once with error code 20) always list the same date/time, which is really close to when I got my iPhone, and also when my problems started. In my mind, that supports my theory. I've been waiting for Yahoo Support to address this detailed debug report, but they keep on giving vague responses (basically telling me over and over that my issues are due to accessing my mail too frequently).
Here's the error code details I've received when trying to access my Yahoo Mail via web browser (note the date in line 3):
Error #5:
0: ListMessagesFromIds
1: SOAP-ENV:Server.MailboxOpenFailed.Busy
2: Error opening mailbox: mailbox busy
3: V2.1.0 B1357.22 06/18/2009 07:28 AM

Does turning off push in Mail, Calendar and Contacts affect only mail or all apps as well?

Hey guys. I'm trying to save some battery in my iPhone here. So, when you turn off push in Mail, Calendar and Contacts, does it turn it off for mail only or for all apps? Thanks!

I keep push for everything off. Just don't need/want "instant gratification" .

Is it possible to sync my mail folders/boxes between Mac mail and iPhone?

Is it possible to sync my mail folders/boxes between Mac mail and iPhone? ie. I get an email on my iphone but I also read it and store it On My Mac folders. Is there a way this can be set up 'same' on my iphone...then I would only need to read my mail one place? Same as my iPad...I'm tired of doing the same step 3 times ONLY because my folders are only on my MAC

IMAP is a mail protocol. Your email provider must support it (most regular ISPs do not). If your mail provider supports IMAP then when you create an account on the iPhone choose "IMAP" when prompted. You cannot convert a POP3 account to IMAP; you must delete it and re-create it. But first check to see if your provider supports it. Microsoft Exchange works similarly to IMAP, but has the added feature of "pushing" mail to your phone within seconds of it being received.
With IMAP and Exchange the master copy of all mail remains on the server until deleted. Your computer(s) and iPhone sync with the server, so all of your devices will show the same messages. When you delete from one the message will be removed from all with the next sync (or immediately for Exchange).

Mail on iPhone iOS 6.1.3 Opens Single Inbox by Default, Not "All Mailboxes"

Mail on iPhone iOS 6.1.3 Opens Single Inbox by Default, Not "All Mailboxes"
I have five e-mail accounts linked to my Mail app (an Exchange account, an IMAP account, and three Outlook POP accounts. Everytime I close the app (close the app meaning double tap the Home button and close it) and reopen it, the Mail app opens the first Inbox on the list. Unfortunately, it is an inbox I rarely use, the Exchange account. I constantly have to press back to go to my "All Mailboxes" screen and then select the correct account Inbox from there. Of course, if I don't fully close the app, but rather tap the home button once and reopen it, the app opens where it left off.
Is there an easier way to make the app open to "All Mailboxes" screen by default vs. the first account listed alphabetically? Or, perhaps the app opening the Exchange account because it thinks it has a priority over the IMAP and POP accounts?
I searched this on Google but all I could find were forums from 2010 that were never answered.
Thank you in advance!

Thank you TomJones75. When I posted this initially, I was running iOS 6.1.3 and not iOS 7. I don't think editing the order of the inboxes was an option back on iOS 6.1.3. With your tip, I was able to re-order my inboxes but it still defaults to the Exchange account when opened.
I.e. first account listed under mailboxes is now an Outlook account and the 2nd is an Exhannge account. Mail still defaults to the Exhange account even though the Outlook is my default email address for the iPhone.
Good tip though! Thanks!

How to verify the primary email address for your Apple ID
When you first create an Apple ID (using your email address) a verification email will be sent to that address. If you sign in to your Apple ID from the link in that email, the email address will be verified as the primary email address for your Apple ID. You can also resend the email verification if the email address is not verified:
1. Sign in to My Apple ID to manage your account information.
2. Click Resend under Primary Email Address.
3. Verify your changes by following the link in the email you will receive from Apple and signing back in to your account.
I hope this information helps ....
Happy Holidays!
