Push mail accounts

Do push mail accounts use a lot less battery since it does not check the email every few minutes like fetch does? Is MobileMe and Yahoo the only email servers that offer push?

In that case what you want is imap. Don't use pop.
Even Gooogle's imap is very good at this, but if your mail server offers imap you should find it quite acceptable.
A change made on your home machine is instantly reflected at the iphone.
If using pop, there is no syncing that is reliable. Its always a compromise, with one machine set never to delete mail and the other set to always delete mail and quite often things get lost. Once you go Imap, you will never go back to pop. I know people who forward all their pop mail to a Gmail account just so they can use imap because their ISP does not support imap.

IOS supported push mail account http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2625#

Bug in OS 3.0: mail accounts set to "Manual" are pushed at bootup

I keep my iPhone's mail accounts on "Manual" access only, so that I'm not overwhelmed with email during the day. I also use MobileMe, and I have my contacts and calendars set to "Push." This combination is possible in:
Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Fetch New Data -> Advanced
In OS 2.2.1 and below, this combination worked as expected: contacts and calendar items are pushed via MobileMe, and mail is retrieved only when entering the Mail app. It also works as expected in OS 3.0, except ...
... when the phone is rebooted. At reboot, all mail accounts are pushed, as if the OS is overlooking my "Manual" setting. I've reported the problem to Apple via the iPhone feedback form, but I thought it prudent to mention it here as well, since it's repeatable and others may notice the problem as well and search for it.

Just wanted to keep this alive. Whenever we restart either my 3GS phone or my wife's 3G they make an immediate mail check and download any emails. Both phones are set to manual for mail checks and we use Me.com for all of our email. With the 3G phone, it was originally mine and before the 3.0 software upgrade it never did this. So I'm going to chalk it up to the 3.0 and believe that some future update will address this.

Push profiles x2 removes mail account

Hi.
When our server pushes out new settings to the clients everything works fine the first time. Next time it pushes out the same/altered settings the log book shows errors and the mail settings is removed... Everything else works fine. This happens on all our Imac in the office. We just renewd the apple push certificates but I dont think that is the cause.. or?

Welcome to the Apple community.
No, using an iCloud email account will not affect any other mail account you have in your mail application. You can continue to use them as you have always done.

Turn off Push on One POP/IMAP E-mail Account?

I'm a brand new BB user and have successfully set up a Blackberry e-mail account and the setting for my single, primary e-mail account. My question is this. Is there a way to turn OFF the automatic push feature for e-mail messages for my primary e-mail account? Even when I have Outlook open on my desktop, some messages end up on my Blackberry Curve. I would prefer to have a setup where I tell the device to go and get the e-mails when I'm on the road vs. having them all collected and sent to the device, automatically. Is this possible?

You can't block individual email accounts from pushing and other emails from your other accounts still come through without deleting the laservice books.
However you can stop emails coming to all accounts by going to options>security options>firewall> tick blackberry internet sollutions
this will block emails coming to your blackberry, however once that email is blocked it wont push it again as far as I can tell. It will begin pushing your emails after you turn it off.
Or you can go to options>auto on/off and set a time when you want the bb service to come on and switch off there, and at these times no emails are pushed

IPhone MobileMe account push mail

Hi,
I'm having some trouble getting my push mail (.mac address) to work on the IPhone. I know that there have been certain issues with MobileMe and the whole push stuff... are these issues still going on?
Also deleted mails on the IPhone don't get deleted on the cloud, but I've learnt from the forum that this is a known bug.
Any help, please?

You might get a better response if you ask in the dedicated *MobileMe on iPhone and iPod Touch > MobileMe Mail* forum, as that is where people who are using MobileMe are most likely to see posts relating to it.

IPhone mail app stopped pushing mail

I am having the same problem with all 3 of my mail accounts including my mac mail and gmail. I've tried all of the fixes, resetting the accounts, restarting the phone, etc.. but as of four days ago, it simply stopped pushing email in or out. It looks like it's trying with the spinning wheel at the bottom, but the wheel doesn't appear at the top of the screen so I know it's actually accessing the server. I can still access the Internet and such, so it's not a connection problem.
Please advise.

Try locating and deleting these two preference/plist files:
~(yourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
~(yourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist

Push mail is not working with iOS 6.1.4. Is anybody facing same issue hare?

My iPhone 5 is connected to our Exchange acccount. Push email does not seem to be working on it. earlier i was to able use push mail but version for iOs was 6.1.1,due to hardware issue my iphone replaced by Apple,But new iphone5 brought me a serious luck. I have tried everything but it does not seem fit. Can anybody help me on this

delete the account and re-add it.

2 yahoo mail accounts, but only 1 will notify my iphone of mail, or even update the inbox at all.

I have 2 yahoo mail accounts. One of them updates to my iphone every time I get a message, the other one does not. In fact, the other one will not load new messages at all. I have deleted the account from my phone and reactivated it. I have updated to iOS 6.1.1 (from iOS 5). I have turned it on and off again. I have made certain push notifications are ON and Fetch is set to 15 minutes. Any other solutions out there?

Delete the account and start over.

I have several users in an exchange environment who cannot email a photo from the iPhone. When the click on Email Photo, they are prompted to configure a mail account even though there is already an exchange account in place. How do I remediate this?

I have several users in an exchange environment who cannot email a photo from the iPhone. When the click on Email Photo, they are prompted to configure a mail account even though there is already an exchange account in place. How do I remediate this? Not all of the users in our environment have this issue. If the users having this issue, install a secondary email account, Gmail, Hotmail, etc, then they can send through those accounts. Why would the exchange account not be seen to send photos?

Sounds like it worked until the policies associated with the account that are creating the problem were fully pushed down.
Try setting up a new (test) Exhange account and see if it behaves the same way on the phone (after removing the problem account from the phone, of course).

Push mail to iPhone/iPad (iOS 5b3) Confirmed Working

After much fiddle ******* around and 15 clean installations and about 64 hours later, I can confirm that push mail DOES indeed work to the iPhone/iPad from Mac OS X Lion Server.
I still have configuration errors to resolve, but this is a down and dirty brief:
Clean install of Lion (Forget the fact Apple says it is an easy upgrade from SLS. You will shoot yourself...)
Install Server essentials and then download Server Admin Tools. (Or Server.app - depends on your preference)
Open Server.app - ensure that your hostname is correct.
Open ServerAdmin.
Set up DNS. (Note: Do yourself a favor and look at the Server.app help file and follow Apple's recommendation for related DNS entries, including all the SRV recommendations)
Ensure DNS is working properly.
Server.app Hardware, settings - turn it all on. Edit SSL first and make sure you have your self generated SSL cert selected.
Tick the enable push notifications option and hit edit.
Apply for / Download your push cert using the AppleID of the system (or yours if your don't have one for your server)
Restart
ServerAdmin - setup OD as master.
Open WGM - set up your user accounts and enable the basic services.
Configure Mail thru ServerAdmin (not Server.app)
Edit main.cf in postfix and remove the greylisting entry
I then went down the list starting with Address Book and enabled/configured the services and tested them out using client apps on another Mac. (Skip Profile Manager)
In the Web area, be prepared to beat your head against a wall.
Make sure you follow the various recommendations in other discussions - I had a few:
NameVirtualHost *:80
NameVirtualHost *:443
Must be in your httpd.conf file (Or the 00000.any.conf file suggestion if you prefer. The httpd.conf is centralized and much easier.)
In your web site setup area, Any, is the easiest setting versus a specific IP address (if you are only hosting one web server or have one IP this is the only way anyway)
Edit your indv site .conf files in /private/etc/apache2/sites
I use just the host name in DNS, such as example.com
in DNS make sure you have a correct Alias such as www.example.com
Edit your indvidual site file and under ServerName example.com make an entry on a new line: ServerAlias www.example.com
I moved my custom sites to /Library/WebServer/Documents by the way. (Strictly your preference here, but make sure your httpd.conf file states where your default directory is)
You can't change the server's default site in /Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default
After all the services are configured/enabled configure/enable profile manager.
Sign the configuration profiles with your SSL cert
You can then open the Profile Manager and enable a few Profiles for you or whomever.
Just as in a few other posts, the https://server.example.com/mydevices is a blank page on iOS devices.
This is the workaround on an iPad:
On your device go to https//server.example.com
The server's main page will open (not your custom sites with any luck. If the custom sites open, start troubleshooting)
On the Server's page, click on the Profile Manager hyperlink on the bottom right of the page.
Then sign in when prompted
Then on the upper right of the page you should see Your Name with a menu arrow next to it.
Click your name/arrow
Down will pop a contextual menu.
Click Download Trust Profile
Install on your iOS device
Then navigate to your Name in the user pane (on left)
If you had previously set up your profile (on a desktop because that iPhone screen will make your eyes bleed) click Download under the profile Section.
Install on your device.
The usual trust this, enable this and that boxes will pop up. Just make sure you allow your server's SSL cert to be trusted.
After all this -
BOOM
Push mail works like a fkn champ!
I must say it's really **** fast. I have an Exchange account on my iPad as well and the mail from my Lion Server beats the Exchange mail account every time.
One caveat - I do have iOS 5b4 on my devices as a registered Apple Developer. And, the Team Profile is installed from apple. If these factors have any play in this - I don't know. Try it and report back. I am curious to see if this works on 4.3
It is 3:12 am and I tried to cover most of the steps in setting up push mail. I may have missed some due to my fatigue, but if I am more than willing to help anyone get their server setup. Just be kind and a) don't spam me and b) don't email me at o'dark thirty and expect a response. I am eastern standard time in Florida (USA).
iCal and Contacts work with push and are pretty **** fast as well.
To get around the blank mydevices page problem on an iPhone, you have to generate an Enrollment configuration profile and email it to your device (which is stupid because that means you have to have email on your device - which is why you are setting up mydevices to begin with)
First, however, you must download the Trust Profile and email it to the iphone. Install.
Then the enrollment profile
Install.
You should be in business after this. I still have a few bugs to work out, but at least I can confirm that the pushmail works. And well at that.
I will report more in the morning -
Good Luck
Scott

Followed your instructions on my iPhone running 4.3.5 and my iPad which is running iOS 5 beta 4... IT WORKS!
Thanks a lot!

Yahoo Mail account can only see certain subfolders, not main inbox

Can anyone please help? I've been on the phone with Apple tech support for 2 hours. I have a Yahoo Plus mail account that I've had for about 8 years. I've had my iPhone for a week now and have had no problems receiving or sending mail from my Yahoo account up until today. Today, I noticed my inbox was not updating. All of my subfolders (Trash, Bulk, other self created folders) retrieve email perfectly. My Inbox and Sent Items folders, however, won't retrieve mails, and they just sit there with the pinwheel saying "Checking for mail." I've done a soft reset on the iPhone, deleted and recreated the account multiple times, then even did a full software restore on the phone. No luck. I created a fake Yahoo account and used it to check mail and it works perfectly. This to me indicates a Yahoo issue.
The last guy I spoke to in Apple customer service mentioned that older Yahoo accounts were stored on an older server, and that those older account were having problems and not working correctly. His solution was to create a new account, as those are configured on the new server. I'd rather not do that considering I've had this account for 8 years now. Does anyone know if this sounds correct? If that's the case, it's a ridiculous Yahoo problem, especially if it means loyal users have to start over (and I'm a paying user as well).
I'd welcome any thoughts or suggestions. In typical Yahoo fashion, they're unavailable on the weekends, but I was able to get their email help line which is open during the week. It's 1-866-562-7219. If you're having the same issues that I am, join me in bombarding them with calls until they get it fixed.

I read somewhere someone suggest going into your Yahoo account via the web interface, and send an email through that. You may be promted to enter a code to prove you are a human (a manner of spam protection). Doing that apparently "unlocked" the Yahoo account and it would work again. Give it a shot, its worth a try and not hard to do.
I had very bad service during the week with Yahoo and decided to move all my mail accounts to GMail. I don't get push email, but I get CONSISTENT mail delivery, which is better than intermittent push.

Problem with yahoo! SMTP POP server mail account on new upgraded iphone 4.3.5

PLEASE HELP!
I am a California AT&T wireless customer with a new iphone 4 on the iOS 4.3.5 upgraded system and suddenly I am unable to successfully add my Yahoo! email account and have it configured to send/receive my emails. I was able to successfully add my gmail and Microsoft exchange server account, but only problems with the Yahoo! I checked all the settings, have done several add/delete accounts, restore network settings, and retry/reboots, to no avail. This is a seriously annoying problem, it worked with the pre-upgraded older version fine without any problems ever. I continually get the same error message: SERVER UNAVAILABLE, please try again later.
I know this error is inaccurate because all my other email accounts work fine as well as Safari and all other internet connections and apps. It is not a phone thing, it is some yahoo and upgraded software incompatibility issue that no one seems to have resolved yet.
This is a SMTP PUSH POP account, and I have literally tried everything. I have tried all the fixes while connected to wifi, and then tried them just via my 3G cell network connection. I read on a message board about turning on/off SSL, could someone tell me how to do that? When I go into to:
settings>mail accounts>outgoing mail server SMTP>Yahoo! SMTP, everything is grayed out and I can't change any ports or SSL.
When I try to manually add a server, which I was told was a fix, I don't know what to type into the host name. Does anyone know how to help?
I have seen this problems on numerous message boards, even in the UK. I contacted Apple Support, with no success in resolving this problem, had an open case for several days contacted several supervisor personnel, all advised me to contact Yahoo! who do not offer customer care via telephone only online, and nothing there helped to resolve my issue.
PLEASE, PLEASE HELP!
THANKS

Yahoo's servers have been having problems off and on now for close to a month if not longer. There's not much you can do about it except talk to Yahoo, which is kind of like beating your head against a wall. They've had problems like this off and on since as far back as the mid 90's. I gave up on them long ago. Just convert to something else and dump them. It's not worth the headache.
