Double Email notifications

HI guys, I have a question regarding email notifications (apple app) from Google accounts/ iCloud. Am receiving double notifications on Lock Screen, Notifications center and on the Banners also, which should not, and so many times i receive vibration and notification tone, but without any new email in-coming.

I thought I might entered the email account two times, but isn't.

So I've check all notifications settings and it looks all good, or for sure im doing something wrong.

appreciate the help. thanks

What you are referring to is "Fetch" and "Push" emails. The setting for this is available under Password & Accounts. Refer to the GIF below


You may know that there two settings (Fetch and Push Mails)


Google, AOL, Yahoo - Only Fetch mail Option is available

iCloud, Exchange, Outlook - Both Fetch and Push Mail option is available


  1. Push Mail: Whenever possible the email client will push mails to all your devices.
  2. Fetch Mail: You need to set How you want it to be fetched, Automatically, Manually , Hourly,Every 30 mins, every 15 mins
    1. Automatically: will fetch when the iPhone is powered and on WiFi
    2. Manually: with fetch when you open email, open Inbox and swipe down
    3. You get an email notification as soon as the client server receives an email and your device is connected to internet, irrespective of whether the mail is in your device's Inbox or not





I thought I might entered the email account two times, but isn't." You can't even if you want to.
