Temp fix for iOS 6 not pushing Exchange mail

All,


If you are reading this, you are probable having the same problem as I am:


After you switched to the iPhone 5, Exchange mail is no longer PUSHing to your device. I have done testing and this problem affects:


1) iPhone 5's running connecting to Exchange 2007 or Exchange 2010 servers.


This does not effect:


1) my iPhone 4S running iOS 6 Beta 6.0 10A5376e


Troubleshooting:


1) Wiped phone and started with completely fresh iOS 6 on my iPhone 5. The only thing I did was add my exchange account.

-Still had same issue.


** How to fix this issue:


1. Go to Mail, Contacts, and Calendar. Click "Fetch New Data". Make sure push is on.

2. Go back to Mail, Contact, and Calendar. Click on your exchange account. Click on "Days to Sync". Even if it is set to what you want this on, chance it to a different setting (i.e. 1 week). You can change this back later, but this is the only way to fix it.

3. Go back to Mail COntact and Calendar. Click on "Show". No matter what this setting is on, change it to a different setting. (i.e. 100 recent messages).

4. Reboot your iPhone 5

5. Exchange PUSH will be working now.


Thanks,


Clay

iPhone 5, iOS 6

Just got another crash of apsd. Looking at the process list (SysMon app), it restarted itself after the crash. However, I am still not getting push notifications.


Toggling Airplane Mode did not restore it.


In this case, running the Mail app didn't load it either. So, I terminated Mail and restarted it. Now, it pushed the mail.


It could be a combination of issue between apsd and the Mail app.


Try restarting Mail (from Home, double-click Home button, find Mail app, touch and hold until it wiggles, press the red termination button and restart).

Great news, DQMIA, on the Engadget post. I've monitored that article and the responses in the comments section, but I got 2 pages in and stopped after I saw all those inane comments from the "flamers in full bore" (apt description). I can already tell immediately by those "commentors" posts that the "working just fine in the enterprise" responses are inaccurate because no one reading it is paying attention to the VERY specific issue we're trying to deal with here: Enterprise Exchange Push Mail does not work on the iPhone 5. Guarenteed "working just fine in the enterprise" means working just fine with iOS 6 on the iPhone 3G, 4, 4s, and iPads.


I visited my Verizon enterprise rep yesterday and raised this again. He sent a message to the regional Verizon IT Technical Engineer who immediately (i.e., within 30 seconds) responded back with "known issue, will foward all forum posts on the matter." So, this has people's attention, even at advanced levels.


After Verizon made the WiFi/LTE carrier adjustment yesterday, my Push worked flawlessly on WiFi (it wasn't before then). Off WiFi and I am still out of luck. Push stops working. Still thinking this has something to do with the 5 communicating over carriers' cellular networks. Back to the waiting game.

Hey,


Ive got a iPhone4 - 32 GB upgraded to ios6 - 10 days ago.


I've got 2 mail accounts :


-Business mail account via Exchange section

-Gmail account still via Exchange settigns (with the m.googole.com server name)


Ive been having the same problem for 2 days, before the weekend eveything was OK. But starting from Saturday, I couldnt have any push mail for both Exchange accounts.


Id like to tell you how i resloved it accidently; maybe this could give you an inspiration 🙂


The only thing i made is to add once more my Gmail account -BUT this time via GMAIL tab - instead of "Exchange".


Once i did it, all the 3 accounts (business exchange mail, gmail exchange, native gmail) started pushing automatically and it works normally for the last 2 hours..


Just wanted to tell.


Have a nice day!

Well the Engadget article doesn't mention this problem as an iPhone 5 issue (and iOS 6). Which has led to many comments such as "I have an iPhone 4 (or 4s) and no problems."


I think people in this thread reporting an iPhone 4 issue have a different issue and the real concern is with iPhone 5 ONLY and iOS 6. The Engadget article does not limit the issue to iPhone 5. It should.


I'm hoping Apple is not thrown off in finding a fix by thinking this goes beyone iPhone 5.

I gave up on Verizon and ordered an IP5 from ATT as it seems ATT does not have the push issue. I'm receiving the phone tomorrow and will report back with whether or not its working. My suspicion is that it will as I had another one of my employees get one last night from ATT and push has been working flawlessly since. ATT here I come...
