Push email schedule

I upgrade to the iPhone 3G from a Windows Mobile 5 phone. The WM5 phone had a very nice feature that the iPhone doesn't seem to have. The WM5 phone had push email, but also had a schedule so it would only accept pushed email at certain times of the day.
As a system administrator, I get emails throughout the night. I am forced to fetch my email so my phone doesn't alert me all night about new emails.
Is there an option to allow the iPhone to schedule when it accepts push email? If not, this would be a great feature to add if anyone at Apple is listening...

I am forced to fetch my email so my phone doesn't alert me all night about new emails.
If you have the New Mail alert sound on, aren't you alerted with the new mail alert sound when fetching for new messages automatically as well?
The iPhone includes no such schedule option, but you can turn off the new mail alert sound at night.

Apple listens here.

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.

Push email (MS exchange) works intermittently after upgrade to ios 5.1 and ios 5.1.1

I have an iphone 4 with my office email (MS exchange) account configured. Other accounts are Gmail & iCloud.
Office email is configured as Push, Gmail as Fetch and iCloud as Push.
Till ios 5.0.x everything was fine. Office emails were getting pushed and there were no issues.
However after upgrading/restore to ios 5.1 & then 5.1.1 push email mostly does not work.
Few observations :
1. Push email works fine when I am at home on wi-fi.
2. When I leave home for work (therefore on 3G), mails stop getting pushed. Sometimes they get pushed for a period of 1 to 2 hours. Then they stop
3. Manually fetching office mails also does not work
4. Strangle accessing the office webmail site in Safari https://mail.xxxxx.com does NOT work. While i can load other sites in safari, the mail site does not load.
5. In office sometimes in the lift phone switches from 3G to Edge or no signal and then when out of the lift, suddenly mails get pushed, but then stop after some time.
6. Moment I get onto wi-fi, push emails start working
7. There is no issue with accessing gmail.
8. Other push notifications work (gmail app, facebook notifications etc)
9. There have been no changes to our MS exchange server
10. I have tried the usual stuff of resetting network settings, rebooting the phone, killing the mail app, going to airplane mode, deleting the mail a/c and recreating etc etc. But no luck.
Apart from upgrading/restoring to 5.1 and then 5.1.1, there have been no changes. The upgrades were done OTA, restore from 5.1.1.
However both times I have not set the phone as new and have restored backups.
Is anybody facing a similar issue ?
Any suggestions ?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?

IPhone 4 vs Blackberry push email--i.e. is the iPhone TRUE Push Email?

considering hopping on the iphone train, however need to know something about push email that NOONE can answer (not even apple consultants at the store)!
issue: have blackberry now due to need to get emails and messaging immediately as it arrives in gmail and yahoo account, regardless of whether phone is asleep or not. can the iphone do this?
i keep getting the answer of you can go into account settings, select push, but then everyone is thrown for a loop when it comes to the push/fetch settings, i.e. 15 min, 30 min, hourly, manually, etc. e.g. no one can answer whether after the email is "pushed" to the iphone at minute 15 (if that is my setting), and i then get an email in my gmail or yahoo account at minute 16, if that email is immediately pushed to the iphone or i have to wait 'til the next 15 minute interval (or fetch it manually).
also, will the iphone wake from sleep to alert me to an incoming email as long as push is selected--regardless of other settings?
please help!!! and thanks in advance!!!

Apart from the "true push" aspect of email, one feature that is sorely lacking on the iPhone, one that for me is quite literally going to be the deciding factor to return to the blackberry, is the notification feature of true push email provided on the Blackberry.
I'm an on the go business professional. I manage several businesses along side my "day job." While my day job is the most critical, it has two facets and these have two different email addresses from different domains.
In short my device be it blackberry or iphone, has 11 domains address sending "push" email in various forms, pop, imap, and exchange. Of these 11, between the hours of 9-6pm 3 of these domains are absolutely critical that I respond within 15 minutes.
On the blackberry, I'm able to set sound profiles that will allow me to differentiate emails using sound by domain. So each of the 11 has a different sound tone as its alert. Without looking at the phone I can determine quickly if the message that was just "pushed" is of the 3 critical domains and take the appropriate action. Unfortunately, the iPhone doesn't have this feature, not natively, thus all mail gets the same tone.
I get about 30-40 messages an hour, it quickly becomes clear that I'm now tethered to the device just to weed out mail that is important, but not critical.
So factor that mail is not "true push" in all instances and that there isn't an ability to set unique alerts for the different addresses/domains, a great device is rendered inferior and an inferior device is heralded.
The apps that are available to address this, all require forwarding the mail message to a 3rd party. Not happening—Corporate would never allow or condone such.

Why can't I push emails to 2 different MobileMe accounts on the iPhone?

Makes no sense since I can set up a Yahoo! Mail account as push alongside a single MobileMe account with push mail as well.
Every time I set it up, the second account only gives me an option for Fetch or Manual.

I have the same problem. Here's my setup:
1) I have my own MobileMe account that I use for Mail, Contacts and Calendar syncing on my iPhone and Mac
2) My wife uses my MobileMe account for Contacts and Calendars so we use the same calendars and contacts. We just signed her up for her own MobileMe (trial) account to use just for her own PUSH email.
On her iPhone calendars and contacts sync perfectly via push. When I added her own MobileMe account to use for mail it only gives her the option for either FETCH or MANUAL! This makes no sense whatsoever. I figured it might have something to do with having my MobileMe account associated with her iPhone as well, so I deleted that association but still no options but FETCH or MANUAL for her mail. Prior to getting her own MobileMe account, I her her set up with YahooMail for push email and she was given the option for PUSH.
All of this makes no sense and is highly frustrating! I wonder if there is a reason and a fix? Anyone?

Just found a major problem in the push email of No...

Wow, I didnt think this would happen, and that the programming was sound, but in the push email, apparently after you set up your email acct and send an email to someone, when you go to your sent folder and select an email, forward or reply and email it to yourself, then the original SENT email disappears.. its like it never appeared..
My phone was the only place with that email. I wish I was able to have the sentbox synced with outlook.. but no.. is there any way?
I think this is a huge issue that should be added to the list of to-be fixes.

Rewritten your query wuth tags as well
{code}select "P_CIRCUITS_FIBER"."PORTS_1",
        "P_CIRCUITS_FIBER"."PORTS_2",
        CASE WHEN CPORT.ID = (select REGEXP_SUBSTR(ports_1,'[^,]+',1,1) from p_circuits_fiber)
             THEN "CPORT"."PORT_NO" END PORT_NO_1,
        CASE WHEN CPORT.ID = (select REGEXP_SUBSTR(ports_2,'[^,]+',1,1) from p_circuits_fiber)
             THEN "CPORT"."PORT_NO" END PORT_NO_2
from    "CPORT",
        "P_CIRCUITS_FIBER"
where   p_circuits_fiber.fiber_id = :P4000_CIRCUIT_NO
and     (select REGEXP_SUBSTR(ports_1,'[^,]+',1,1) from p_circuits_fiber) = "CPORT"."PORT_NO" "PORT_NO_1"
and     (select REGEXP_SUBSTR(ports_2,'[^,]+',1,1) from p_circuits_fiber) = "CPORT"."PORT_NO" "PORT_NO_2"{code}
Now we can see two columns references which should not be there.
I even not sure to understand why those two conditions are in the WHERE clause. But for sure, CPORT.ID cannot be equal to two values unless they are same.
Is there only one row in p_circuits_fiber ?

Reliability and Speed of Yahoo Push Email

Is anyone else finding Yahoo "push" email to be unreliable?
I find when it works, it works well, and I get emails that I send from a home email server in less than 1 minute. However sometimes it seems to fail completely or take a very long time. By fail I mean that the push fails, I can still pick up the email with a manual email poll.
I have ""Auto-Check" set to manual. So the only email that should work without a manual poll.
I'd be interested to hear the experiences of others?

I was unable to get Yahoo to recognize a different Reply-to: address, even when that was set up using the Yahoo web interface. That, plus the fact that it adds an ad at the bottom of each email made it a non-starter for me.
After a bit of a struggle, I was able to get Gmail set up and working just fine. Yes, you don't get the push mail, but hopefully they will add push IMAP at some point and all these problems will be moot.

IPhone 3G and Push Email Notifications

Hello everyone.
Before I got my iphone, I used to own a blackberry, and push email was my main form of communication on it. I cannot begin to describe how amazing push email was on the blackberry - the moment an email was sent to my address my blackberry picked it up right away, I'd say within 10 seconds. Now, I have an iPhone 3G OS 3.1 with mobileme email set up to use push email. I don't know if i'm the only person experiencing this...but push notification my foot... sometimes I don't even get notified of emails until I open the mail app myself and do a manual check. I have mobile me on my iPhone set to push, I have push in the settings menu set to on... I don't know what else to do.
I'd be happy to hear of other peoples experiences with MobileMe push mail on the iPhone. My account expires in two weeks...maybe I'd be better switching to push mail with gmail? I might give that a try this evening.
Regards
Seb

Just playing for more hours! Push works lightning fast if you enter anything onto MobileMe, it syncs to Iphone in less than 20 secs, Mail email, contacts and calendar.
The problem is I am using with Entourage 2008 that supposed to sync with Ical and Address Book, this is either not working or coming through ad hoc or taking hours to Iphone, this is not push email like above.
MobileMe is fine as a standalone push system back to Iphone, but what about me using Entourage to manage all my mailboxes and data to iphone.

Mountain Lion push email - server name best practice

Would anyone be able to guide a newbie with advice on server naming for a mac mini?
I have a public web presence but want to direct incoming email through the server for push email to iOS devices, i.e iPhones. The server will also be a VPN to the internal network, which will be running a hybrid of mac and win7 clients. The company webserver will remain at the webhost.
Should I simply call the host machine server.mydomain.com or for example, mailserver.mydomain.com? I have read some wiki's and advice for naming conventions that have left me confused. I think I can handle the setting up of the CNAME, A and MX records. But on the latter point, if someone has a simple English reference they want to offer up, then I would be most grateful.
I want to adopt a sound strategy as my first foundation stone. Or am I paranoid with this parameter?
Many thanks in advance.

Okay, I had this problem and solved it as follows:
1. Deleted any non-functioning iCloud-IMAP accounts from Mail's Preferences. I had two that were working fine, so I left those in place. One of those was the primary iCloud account on my Mac, i.e., the account used for "Find My iPhone/Mac/iPad" and iCloud storage, etc.
2. Then I quit Mail and restarted my computer.
3. Went to my other devices and made sure the primary account was the same one there. [Note: It was not -- the primary iCloud account was different on my iPhone versus my Mac, I think this discrepancy might have been the source of the problem, but I don't know.]
4. I also made sure my wife's Mac uses a different primary iCloud account, one that is not on my machines, although we share one secondary iCloud Mail account (which is not the primary on any device -- it is always a secondary account).
5. Then, following MChannel's advice upthread, I went into System Preferences > Mail, Contacts & Calendars, and added the formerly problematic iCloud accout that way. I have everything turned on for my primary iCloud account. All of the secondary accounts only have Mail turned on (although I don't think that matters -- you can turn on the other features that are available there if you like).
6. Opened Mail and voila! -- everything is working fine. Accounts are all set up properly without me even opening Mail's Preferences.

Question about push email...

Hi all,
i have a question regarding this push mail tech.
how the client will be able to receive a message from the server, without the need for client to check it by it self?
Is it true the only way to do that is to by keeping a connection between the server and the client opened? If it is, isn't that would be too much thread running on the server if there are a lot of client connected...
Or there is another way else???
TiA

My understanding is that POP3 email accounts are checked by BIS every 15 minutes and any new emails are pushed to your device. This means a message can take anywhere from 0 - 15 minutes to get to you (average 8 minutes).
What you can do is create a new blackberry email, which is not a POP3 account and is capable of true push email. Any emails set to this address will be pushed instantly. Then you can set your other email accounts to forward to this address. You should then recevie the emails within a few seconds.
The problem is this makes replying from the correct address a bit of a hassle so I've just learnt to accept the 8 minute delay.
I'm still reletively new to Blackberry so please correct me if Im wrong.

Can't Turn Off Push Email

I am using Exchange for my email but I can't stop the push email. I would rather have it fetch email every 15 minutes to save battery life. When I go into settings, I have the following set:
Under Fetch New Data - Every 15 Minutes
Push is turned Off
Under Advanced and then under my email account I have it set to Fetch.
I don't see any other place that I need to change but when ever I get an email on my desktop computer I get it immediately on my iPhone as well. I tried to set it to manual and that works.
Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks.

Sure Apple and Yahoo allow this, but it is up to the user to know the difference when creating the account. This is called garbage in = garbage out, which happens to everyone on occasion.
When creating a Yahoo account with the Yahoo account preset on the iPhone, the account is created as an IMAP account with Push access. Turning Push access off for recieved messages doesn't change or switch the account to a POP account. It is still an IMAP account with Push access turned off.
You want to access the account as a POP account. If so, delete your Yahoo account on the iPhone and when re-creating the account select "Other" instead. After the data entry on the first screen, select POP as the account type followed by entering the required settings for accessing the account as a POP account.

Will the iPhone 3G and/or 2.0 software give push email for all email?

..instead of just MobileMe? I'd really like consistent push email for my gmail and yahoo! email accounts similar to the blackberry. Will I be getting this? I don't have a mobileme account nor desire to pay $90 for it.

Then if you don't want to pay for it, you are not going to get it.
Push requires the provider of the email service to give Push abilities. MobileMe allows you to tie it (which has Push) into your other accounts (that don't).
BTW, Yahoo does do push already (has since day 1 with 1st gen iPhones).
Google may one day knowing them.

Problem with push email key and adding mailbox

There seems to be a strange problem with the email key. I added my gmail account initially but then i deleted it. I don't see any mailbox in the email setup, but i still receive notification on recieving a new email. But when I press the push email key on the home screen to open my inbox, it takes me to the email setup. I tried adding a mailbox, but when i select "add mailbox" the screen becomes whitish and nothing happens.
I need to add my gmail account again. Please help me with this. Thanks!

1. Predictive text can only be enabled in alphanumeric keypad, but from testing the QuickOffice 6 on the 5800 (same app used for both phones), It cannot use predictive text. Its not in the typing options. Furthermore, if you would be using the qwerty keyboard on the mini, predictive text AFAIK cannot be used.
2. If using "vodaphone live" is giving an error in ALL applications, then it is not the fault of your phone but of the "vodaphone live" settings not being compatible to your phone. I assumed that it was only for email that it did not work. A similar case was one on T-mobile, wherein the T-mobile GPRS settings were incorrect which leads to the same issue as you do. The fix was to configure GPRS settings manually. You can also take it to vodaphone for them to configure it themselves.
3. As I said, unless we find out what is different from the files that can play and cannot I cannot help you. Its not like I can check the files themselves. You can try attaching two each of the working files and non working files here for some of us to test on our phones.

Hello.
I am new to Apple Mail. I have a Hotmail/Windows Live account that has folders I created (eg. Personal, Business, Follow up, etc.) for organizing messages. When I was using Outlook for Windows, I had no problem syncing these folders. But, I switched to Apple Mail, and the only folders that sync are Inbox, Trash, and Junk. I switched to Outlook for Mac, and I still have the same problem.
I would appreciate it if any of you guys help me solve my problem.
There is no solution, as Barney pointed out Microsoft choose to support POP only on a Mac.
