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've been experiencing intermittent service from icloud since it was launched. At first, I had a problem sending out email from my @me.com account because the smtp server was down and now problem with push notification. I'm pretty sure its icloud coz my other email services are working just fine even if the mail app is not running in the background.

The same problem:


(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

This does not work here!

That works! 🙂

I'm seeing the same behavior, both with Google Sync and iCloud.

One thing I've noticed is that, for me at least, restarting mail isn't enough some of the time...sometimes I have to restart it, kill it and restart it again.


This does seem worse on my iPhone 4 than my iPad...maybe because I use my iPhone quite a bit more during the day so Mail gets stupid faster?


I do hope all of these comments help Apple know there is a real issue here.
