Push notification for email not working!!

Since purchasing my iPhone 4 my push notifications for email stopped working. My notifications worked fine with my old 3G. Fwiw I have 3 email accounts yahoo, gmail, and an exchange account. My mail setting is set to push with fetch set for 15 mins when push isn't available. It seems the only time I get emails now is when I hit the email button and it manually checks. Any ideas on what to do to fix this? Anyone else have the same issue?

Thanks

4g, iOS 4

Regarding the push gmail did you set that up through Exchange with m.google.com going in the Server box?

Yahoo email "push" stopped working for me on my iPad (3.2) and, later, on my iPhone 3G (ios4). The fixes turned out to be different on both, but both are now working...

On my iPad, I needed to Reset Network Settings (under General, Reset). It did it's thing, rebooted, and I needed to re-enter the password for my home network. Poof... Push notices came in.

On my iPhone 3G, I deleted my yahoo account and re-entered it. Push started working right away.

Hope one of these is helpful for you.

Having this problem, but with MobileMe. Emails come INSTANTLY to my Mac and me.com, but take FOREVER to come to the iPhone 4. What's the deal?

I was having the same problem with mail not coming to my phone. I deleted my accounts off my iPhone 4 and now they push through immediately.

These problems are usually caused by restoring a back-up to the phone rather than setting the phone up ‘as new’. Do a total restore and then set the mail accounts up from scratch. That usually does the trick. The ‘reset network settings’ option is quicker and easier and sometimes does the trick - try this first.
