IOS 13 Icloud email not being pushed

I've had this same issue since iOS 13 was released. None of the recent updates have made any difference. Emails are NOT being pushed to my phone. Once I open the app, it fetches and they download. I’m missing critical emails and can’t wait to manually refresh my mailbox. I have checked all options (push, fetch, etc), signed in/out of iCloud, and tried to reinstall the mail app but no luck.

Hey all ,

Can you please try the following ways

please try deleting and reinstall the mail app before this and after reinstall add your mail and check whether all mails have arrived in your mail app then do the following steps:

1. check settings—notifications—mail—and make sure that all 3 alert types are enabled and show preview option is always
2. Get to passwords & Accounts then look that fetch new data option is enabled as push
3. Get into fetch new data window and if you didn’t see push for Gmail make it as fetch
4. Then at last at the bottom make the fetch as Every 15 minutes

# If we put fetch as automatically it will be used when only connected to power and WiFi

# If we put fetch as manually it will use only when we are using the app

# By putting this to 15 min we will surely get notifications and don’t afraid that it’s 15 min it won’t take that much time it will arrive in about 7-8 min and by going forward the time will get reduced and will get your mail notifications within 1 min...

Hope your issue got resolved .

Let me know if this worked for you and reply me if you’ve any questions....

i wonder if it has anything to do with background refresh being changed since 13. Hasn’t been fixed with any of the subsequent updates as hoped; but still think it it’s related. There isn’t even a background setting for mail, oddly enough, so can’t toggle

I’m in the same boat. I was hoping this most recent update 13.2.3 would be the fix we’ve been waiting for since it referenced a fix for mail and not fetching new messages but I’m still having the same issue. Help!

Well, this has been happening to me with my iCloud.com email address since BEFORE iOS 13. I either don’t get iCloud.com emails pushed or they push to my iPhone 6 hours later than the server received them. Also, if I read them on my iPhone, they never get marked as read on my iPad. It’s disgusting.

Spoke to tech support a few times. Completely useless. This has been the worst launch of an iOS. It is pathetic that the core features are impacted in this way. If I wanted to be a beta tester I would be one. I don’t think any of us elected to be beta testers of this nonsense.

Another IOS 13 update (13.3) and still no resolution. Most emails are NOT being pushed and only be fetched once I go into the app. At this point, I've given up - deleted the app and moved over to Spark. Spark pushes all emails, instantly. Can't understand why Apple hasn't figured this out yet - but hope they do soon!

What's frustrating is that I’m using the 11 Pro and Apple Watch Series 5 and I’m not getting my notifications on my watch. If I restart it, they start coming for a little while then stop. When I do receive the notifications on my phone, I go to the app and I have to wait for the messages to download. When I clear them it takes a minute to clear the badge after closing the app. Fun part is that nothing I do on my phone syncs to my iPad. I’m not getting important emails but it’s still frustrating.

Unreal that this isn't fixed by now. Expecting to be notified when you get an email without having to manually check the mail app is basic, basic, basic. This is a pretty huge bug, IMO and I am frankly disappointed (and surprised) Apple wouldn't almost immediately push out an update to fix this.

The pathetically sad thing is that this is most prevalent on Apple's OWN email (iCloud email) - exchange stuff seems to be pushed just fine. So Apple's own iCloud email is failing to be pushed into the mail app.

Apple likes to boast about their stuff working so great because they "design their own hardware AND software". Well - that only works well if their software isn't designed with buggy s#it like this.

Do they not test basic functionality anymore?

This is all true. I never had a problem with the Apple Mail app before. I hate the Gmail app and was forwarding my Gmail to my iCloud address. It worked great. I’d get instant notifications and when I read an message on my phone it would be marked read on my iPad. I noticed that I was missing messages this way so I transitioned over to solely using iCloud. I updated all of my subscriptions with my iCloud email address and then Apple went and fiddled with the mail app and the iCloud service.

Its not a problem. At least I know that I’m not alone. My husband uses Gmail and doesn’t mind the Gmail app. I don’t like how Gmail thinks it knows better what emails I want to see than I do. This is why I abandoned Gmail.

It has been very frustrating. From what I've found it's not a consistent issue with most users. We have around 35 iPhone users at my work and only one of them in addition to me is experiencing this issue with the mail app. He and I both upgraded to new iPhone pros at the same time and transferred our content and settings from our previous iPhone. I've tried to figure out if there's any pattern to why this issue impacts some but not others.

I’m sure it’s not 100% failing on all iPhones, but it is widespread enough where Apple should be placing this as an extreme high priority bug fix.

The fact that they haven’t fixed the issue this far into iOS13 is extraordinary. This bug has been there since day 1 of iOS 13.

I hope we are not talking into empty space in this forum and that Apple sees us reporting this issue. If anyone knows any emails of Apple leadership- I would hope they may consider notifying them.

This is Apple’s own iCloud email that’s not being pushed. What an embarrassment.

I'm have the same issue. Will not Push t phone. Only fetch once I connect to WiFi or open the email App.

-Made sure phone is up to date

-checked push/fetch settings

-checked cellular data settings

-reset network settings

-hard restart phone

nothing is fixing it.. extremely aggravating.

Hilarious. I opened the mail app this evening and had 13 emails download that were sent from this morning onwards.

Whomever is in charge of Apple’s software experience needs to be fired as iOS 13 is a disaster through and through.

This is totally unacceptable.

“It just DOESN’T work” should be Apple’s new slogan.
