I am having this problem as well.


Resterting the iPhone/iPad does not resolve the issue. Even doing a force power off so when it turns back on it does a file system check does not fix it.


This really needs to be fixed and fast as there is no way to say turn off push and go to manual with iCloud and still do push on other accounts. As there are no settings specifically for iCloud pertaining to how mail is fetched.


Connectivity is not the issue as far as I can tell. I had 4AM e-mails come in when I was at home with working WiFi and full bar 3G.


Hardware/Software:

iPhone 4 / iOS5

iPad 1 / iOS5

I called Apple support this morning she told me it was because everything was backed up. I told her that mine hasn't worked ever and she didn't seem to care. So I played around with it all morning and got mine working. What I did was opened another @me account and added it to my phone. Once I did that I started getting push messages with the app open and closed for the @me account that I wanted. Don't get it but hey it works until someone gets this fixed.

please do the following test:


(1) close all apps in the background

(2) restart your iOS 5 device

(3) send an e-mail from another client

(4) waiting for push mail

--> it should work at this time (there is no mail.app in the background)


(5) now open the mail.app on your iOS 5 device, and send it to the background

(6) send an e-mail from another client again

(7) waiting for push mail

--> it works (with the mail.app in the background)


(8) now close the mail.app completely (kill the app from running in the background)

(9) send an e-mail from another client again

(7) waiting for push mail

--> it doesn't work


It seems to me, that killing the mail.app from the background in iOS 5 the process which receives the pushed e-mails is also killed.
