Problems with Push Email

Well i was getting annoyed waiting for 2 minutes. Push should mean immediately, you know, kinda like the way Blackberry do it.

It's never been good and i though icloud would have solved this but still it's poor...

Same problem here - push notifications for iCloud emails stopped working on both my iPhone 4 and iPad 2. The notification comes in right away on my MacBookPro. iDevices are on iOS5 so maybe some problem with the new OS...?

However, I sent a test email to my Exchange-based account and the phone issued the notification right away.

Similar issues for me - Updated two iPhone 4 and one original iPad. Updated two mobile me accounts to iCloud. Multiple mail accounts on each device, all accounts with the exception of iCloud get push mail without problem on the phones and iPad. Amazingly the iPad seems to have not problem with iCloud push but push does not work on either phone very irratating. I hope this issue can be resolved quickly.

After my upgrade to OS5 and to iCloud, me.com email will push to my Verizon iPad 2 but not to my AT&T iPhone 4. I need to manually retrieve email from the iPhone. Tried deleting and creating iCloud email account on the iPhone but did not help alleviate the problem. Push is on the phone under mail settings, fetch new data.

Same for me here! Using iOS5 with iphone 4S. When the mail app isn't running in background it seems like Mails never arrive. Mails seem not to be pushed to the mobile device. With mobile me the sent mails arrived within a few seconds on the iphone:(

Please fix this apple 😟

Yep exactly the same here for me 😟 so sad about that!

same here:

- push via iCloud doesn't work.

- push via Exchange is working.

déjà-vu..!

same to me. icloud push don´t work anymore to me :-(

I'm having the same issue. Migrated my mobileme account to icloud and push mail is very inconsistent. Sometimes it works, sometimes it's delayed, and most of the time it just doesn't work. Launch mail on my phone and there's new messages from 6+ hours ago that were never pushed.

for some reason i thinks its linked to WIFI. i turned mine off and my emails started pushing through. I did also delete the account and set up a frsh one from my phone.

hope that helps.

iphone 4, iso 5

So the problem I have is almost the same. I have a new icloud account. It pusshes just fine. It is my MobileMe migrated to iCloud that is not working on my iPhone.

Does Apple ever monitor these discussions and provide solutions? Or are these discussions just an opportunity for apple customers to ***** and commessurate with each other?

i am actually on the phone with apple support now, and the rep said he has never heard of this issue. he had me go into setting, check that push was on, then he asked me what my fetch setting was and told him manual, which was the default setting. the agent said that would be why push is not working. told him that is not the case, as its the same settings i had for MobileMe, now im waiting on hold for a senior advisor

i actually asked a rep if he reads these forums and said he has no time, as he is taking call after call

Any joy on the phone?
