Push email does not work (iCloud)

Since the update to icloud the push email does not work anymore. Im only talking about the me.com adress no Yahoo oder other Emails. I didnt changed the Mail settings and pushing mails worked fine before the update to icloud.

Example:

When i switched on the phone in the morning the mails i received during the night immediately got pushed to the iphone. That doesnt work anymore. It only receives the mails when i switch to the mail app.

Any suggestions anyone?!? 😟

Im using newest iOS 5 with an iPhone 4S and migrated my old me.com account to iCloud.

I was so happy when push worked for a couple of minutes for me that I had to post it. Then after my previous post push suddenly stop working again. LOL

Why the beta testers not show this issue? ...seems incredibile!

iPhone4 running iOS 5, MobileMe to iCloud transfered on day of release. Push email does not work. It might work every once in a while, but mostly not. If I had known about this issue I would have not migrated my mobileme account until this was fixed. You would think this would have been picked up in the beta testing?!?!?

Apple please send out a software update fix ASAP!

All that need to be done is go settings then enter notification about 3 down then go in email and turn notification on

I am afraid that does not work. It's not that simple.

Same thing here 😟

This is ridiculous. Woke up this morning, no email. Opened the mail app on my iPhone, 12 new messaged downloaded. Unacceptable.

It appears to work sometimes...then sometimes it doesn't.

I agree with utvol06. Apple needs to sort this out by releasing a new software update ASAP.

Sounds about right. My iPad has handled push from iCloud so much more reliably than my iPhone.

To help handle notifications, I'm using Boxcar (free from the App Store). By forwarding my email to Boxcar, I get push from that service even in iCloud push isn't working on my iPhone. This morning Boxcar told me I had new mail. I killed Mail on my iPhone and instantly received three push messages for the new mail.

I think the server's fine...there's something wrong with iOS 5 and push from iCloud. It's gotta be something the phone...otherwise killing Mail on my phone wouldn't affect push messages - right?

Here's hoping Apple fixes this quickly.

It seems icloud push is back on track. Been getting my mails on time for the past two hours.

Oct 20, 2011 7:04 AM in response to marcwiegelmann

Been working for me as well in the last 2 hours or so. Even on my WiFi - the last 2 days I had the feeling that it was working on 3G but NEVER at home in my WiFi. Now for the last 2 hours been getting Push even at home.

Neither Push nor Fetch for @me are working on my iPhone 4s

Works fine on my iMac using Mail.

Hope Apple can fix this.
