I just bought the iphone 5 and the push option for email is not giving me my email when it shows up on the server. i have to go in manually and open the acount in order to retrieve my email. does anyone know any tips on how to correct this. thank you
iPhone 5, iOS 6
If the email account supports Push access for received email which means when a new email is received at the incoming mail server for the account, the server "pushes" the email to the device without the email client having to check the account for new messages, which is Fetch.
What is your sound setting for received email - when a new email is received?
Thanks butt your answer wasn't helpful. i found out that mobile me, microsoft exchange; and yahoo support push. those that don't support push are POP, IMAP, AOL or Gmail. for anyone else who reads this the link below will take u to a page that explains it best:
With an Exchange account - you can access a Gmail account and Hotmail account as an Exchange account, Apple iCloud account, and with a Yahoo account created with the Yahoo account preset which is not always reliable.
Already answered - copied from my first post in this thread.
With an Exchange account - you can access a Gmail account and Hotmail account as an Exchange account, Apple iCloud account, and with a Yahoo account created with the Yahoo account preset which is not always reliable.
You have a major reading comprehension problem.
There is no MobileMe account anymore and what you provided is no different - at all.

Exchange account is the same thing and is short for Microsoft Exchange. There is no MobileMe account anymore - Apple's iCloud account replaced that, and a Yahoo account created with the Yahoo account preset.
those that don't support push are POP, IMAP, AOL or Gmail.
Wrong.
An iCloud account is accessed as an IMAP account and the same for a Yahoo account that is created with the Yahoo account preset. An IMAP account can support push access which is up to the email account provider.
A Gmail account can be accessed as an Exchange account as included with my first post and the same for a Hotmail account.
Push has been supported in AOL for quite a while but is not working now in IOS 6. I have two AOL accounts that provided push notification on my iPhone 4 until the upgrade to IOS 6. Numerous resets, deleting and re-adding the accounts, etc and they will not push new emails. Manual fetch is the only way they are downloading emails.
maybe it would be better if i worded it correctly. why isnt push notifying me when an email i sent to me?
ok so what email accounts support push
what email accounts support push?
