iCloud .me email not pushing to iOS 5 devices

I definitely know my problem isn't because of the mail not turned on.

Unfortunately, no. That's a coincidence in your case. All 5 of our phones were all set that way already...

Turning notifications on has nothing to do with email not pushing to the device, unfortunately.

This is still an issue. Unless mail.app is constantly open on my screen, I'm getting no pushed e-mails.

Mail needs to be running in order to get the mail, when you open it new mail should arrive soon after it loads (assuming you have some), what are you expecting to happen?

I expect mail to work as well as it did in iOS 4: new e-mails should be pushed to my device as soon as they're received - even if I'm using another app; even if the screen is locked.

Right now, I only receive new e-mails when I open the Mail app, even if they're an hour old. That's not push, that's fetch (and yes, I have "push" turned on in settings). And according to this board, it's a widespread issue.

hello everyone,

I have the same issu since IOS 5. I have paid the service MobileMe whose mail worked very well for 1 year. Unfortunetely, nowdays the Push doesn'est work and I have to check the email every time. Hope for Apple to resolve the probleme.

Ah well, that's it then, my eyesight has reached a point where I thought we were talking OSX 😟

Apologies

MobileMe had the exact same problems for me so I went back to Gmail. Things were good with iCloud for a couple days then this afternoon I opened Mail and only then it downloaded half a dozen emails that I had no clue were waiting for me.

Wasn't this service tested by the developers ahead of time? How did no one notice!?

Any solution yet? icloud doesn't push the email to my ios5 iphone 4s.

It is working fine now as long as the mail app is running in the background.

If yours is still not running, I'd suggest that you delete the icloud account on the iphone and re-add it.

Good luck,

Bob

I tried that initially, but its still hit or miss. Seems to be working ok now, but would more than likely miss a couple before day break.

I also have the same problem.

Iphone 4, IOS5.

Since update from 4.3.5 to IOS5 no push anymore. Only if I reboot my Iphone, then push works maybe 3-4 times. Then again not.

I also made a new account at @me.com. Also I deleted my old @me.com on Iphone and connected new.

It works then always 3-4 times (I get then mails via push), then again nothing.

I'm really more and more disappointed about Apple. More and more problems, no matter in what. Expensive technic, but very cheap programmed and most buggy software.

Ok,

I am still experiancing all of the above / previous comments.

Push notifications are somewhat hit or miss. Sometimes they push other times they do not.

This is only ever since migrating from MobileMe to iCloud and using iOS5.

I made an appointment with Apples Tech support and had a phone conversation with there support department.

I explained the issues / problem and they looked into it.

The answer was " We are aware there is a problem with Push notifications with iCloud email, we have our technicians looking into the problem. Please wait for an official announcement and fix "

So Apple are aware of the issue and it is being investigated.

Annoying as it may be coming from a perfect working push mail setup to this, we will just have to "fetch" untill this is resolved.

Thanks

Same thing for me. Google account push is not working either so it doesn't seem to be an iCloud issue.

To be precise, right after reboot it is working but then stops receiving push notifications again until reboot. "Apple is new Microsoft" as one article say - never experienced so many troubles! (wifi sync stopped working too for both my iDevices).

All my settings are ON and I am having the same problem.

Before I upgraded to iCloud and iOS5 my search function on my iphone wasn't working (and still doesn't find e-mails I have definitely received) but this is just ridiculous.

Apple have to sort this out. Between this, the poor search for MobileMe and the outrageous situation of having to have two Apple IDs, the MobileMe customers are being treated like rubbish.
