Mail Will not Fetch since iOS 15.4 Update

Since the update iOS 15.4 my Apple mail on my iPhones and iPad won't fetch automatically, as before, even though it is set to fetch every 15 minutes (push is off). If I restart the device it will work for about a day then stop, until I restart again. Is there a fix other than constantly restarting?

You may know that there are two settings (Fetch and Push Mails). What have you set? Watch the GIF below


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 emails 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 the internet, irrespective of whether the mail is in your device's Inbox or not
