iCloud .me email not pushing to iOS 5 devices

OK, now it does seem to be pushing emails. For me, it seems to have been fixed.

I have just recieved 16 Emails when I went on to check! I didnt realise this was such a wide-spread problem. Whats Apples official word on this?

I'm the same - has a solution been posted yet and i'm missing it?

Exchange is working like a dream - but i have been moving away from this to use my "me.com" and im missing my important emails 😟

It's working for me just for one, two days, then no more push. Then I restart my iPhone (no hardreset) and it's working again for some days ... Really annoying!!!

Mine started off not working after I migrated. Then was working like a charm until last night. Only thing I did last night was turn on photo stream. Turned it off this morning and it now seems to be pushing again. Looks like for me photo stream seems to be affecting it. I'll test it a little more today.

Do not worry, you're not alone.

In my opinion, this is Apple's servers are suffering.

This has normally nothing to do with our devices, at least I hope so.

I especially hope that Apple will either repair their servers or elsethe Apple iOS 5.0.1 so that will repair the problem.

See you soon! 😉

Same here. Only works with mail app opened in the background.

For me its on/off. Sometimes it is pushed, but most its not. I miss hours worth of emails at times. Hoping that the usually very soon after x.0.1 update solves the issue.

Seems to be working for me today. Kind of funny, I emailed apple. Now it's been working flawlessly.

it is not apple servers, if that was the case then people would be having problems getting email even while the mail app is running. The problem is with the mail api. once the mail app is closed down for some reason the api that is used to get push while the app is not running gets turned off.

The only way to get emails pushed is to keep the app running in the background. There is no temporary fix or server issues, because if it was a server issues then i wouldnt be getting emails on my mac, but i do.

so until apple sends out an update, just keep the mail app running

I've had it not push with the mail app open in the background. It may have a time limit. It's been working this morning flawlessly though. Today, I can't complain.

For me it does not work unless the Mail app is running. If I kill the app, it still works for about 10 minutes (must still be running in the background temporarily), but after about 10 minutes it no longer works unless I open mail, and leave it running. Try closing the app and waiting a few minutes to see if that stops the push.

iphone 4S, upgraded from 3GS

Exactly! This is what all five of our phones are doing. I have a 4s, my wife, son, and secretary have the 4, and my daughter has a 3GS. We are all running ios5, and we all migrated from MobileMe to iCloud...

Mine is intermittent still it was going good this morning. But I just got an important email that I would have liked to have read right away, and I didn't get it until about 20 minutes after it was sent. Had to fetch it myself. But then I just got this last reply from this thread pushed. So it's still not reliable. Mail app is open.

I actually think i have solved this issue. Was on tech support with apple and found out there is a setting for this on my iphone 4s.

go to settings

then notifications.

then go to mail. make sure that notification is turned ON. mine was off via default. also make sure to choose view in lock screen. then go back to the main "settings" screen and choose icloud. and make sure "mail" is set to on.

This solved my problem.

Hope this helps.
