My iPhone didn't notify me when I received email. I changed the fetch new data setting from "automatically" to "every 15 minutes" and now I get notification that I have email. Every 15 minutes is better than no notification on my lock screen, but why won't my phone fetch automatically? Ideally, I'd receive notification when email comes in.
iPhone SE, iOS 14
There are three options for emails to be received in the Apple Mail app on your iPhone.
Of course PUSH option is the best because emails will arrive in real time. FETCH is used when the PUSH option is NOT available and that depends on your email provider. For example, GMAIL, AOL, YAHOO etc do not provide the PUSH option for the Apple Mail app. At this point, you are then compelled to use FETCH. These providers provide the PUSH option if the user uses the provider's own app. The AUTOMATIC function mostly works when the iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi and plugged in to power.

Thank you, Axel. I have GMAIL and I'm using Apple's Mail app. I thought Automatic meant it automatically always fetched the email. It did do that when it was plugged in to the power. I installed GMAIL but selecting it as my default mail app didn't get notification of new mail. Judging by the menu, I couldn't control which sound my phone made when receiving email with GMAIL as my default. Your answer was clear and concise, again, thanks.
You are welcome.

I know, Automatic implies that its, well, automatic. Not that it only retrieves when connected to Wi-Fi. A better name for the function would be most helpful.
Why will my email Fetch every 15 minutes but not automatically?
