Q: Push email does not work (iCloud)

I just did two test emails on my iPhone and they both pushed/notified immediately. Hopefully this stays fixed.

I am noticing change as well...*breath held*...good luck everybody!

Well I'm not sure if this is related but.....

I emailed Apple this morning about this issue and another problem with the iTunes Store.

I sent a nice email explaining the issue, and the number of users it appeared to be affecting.

This afternoon I got a call from them, wanting to know more about the issues.

I explained them both in detail and they thanked me for my help and said they would drop me an email giving me their contact details.  They also said they would provide me with an update on both issues, they have done so yet.

So is this apparent coming back to life of Push email related to my contact or coincidence?

Maybe there has been some pressure from the top to get these things sorted, maybe Tim and other senior execs did not know about the issue.

Whatever the case maybe, I have started to receive push emails in the last hour or so - interesting.

It looks like the problem is solved! all of my mails are being pushed at the moment.

Well, who ever it was, I can confirm that I'm getting push again as well. Out of 5 or 6 test e-mails from different accounts, as well as Ian's post to the board, every e-mail since turning Push on again has come through properly. Let's hope it keeps working!

still does not push for me...3G no push...wifi sporadic push.

still irubbish!

dont be fooled by push coming back now. how long will it last??

It is incredibly easy to know when push is just not working or someone is having a random problem. Over the past several days there have been at least 100 updates to this thread which should have clued some people in that it was simply an outage and doing all sorts of resets was futile.

Push has been working fine all morning for me. I was on this thread at the beginning and have said more than once. Jumping through hoops generally doesn't solve the issue. It will come back up on its own. I've had the problem since October or whenever this thread was started. The problem comes and goes.

When no push I just open my mail and check it. I've decided it isn't worth raising my blood pressue over the probem

Same here... suddenly had 15 push messages. I have tested with sending a few mails myself and slowely they are coming in now! Hope it stays this way! :-) It is looking good.

So far so good. They come in, although sometimes the push is there straight away and sometimes it takes between 30 to 60 seconds. Oh well, I can live with the last! :-) It's nice to see it's starting to work again. What a relief!

Well it worked for a while - then my last 10 emails didn't come in until I manually checked again. Sporadic I guess.

Same here.  It worked for a little while, now it's stopped again.  I still consider this progress!

I'm assuming those who are having 'luck' with their PUSH being restored are those who just began experiencing the outage recently.

Mine is still not working.  I've had the issue since migrating from MobieMe to iCloud back in October of 2011.

Ridiculous.  Truly ridiculous.  And still no help from the technicians who've had my diagnostics for weeks.
