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

Microsoft Exchange not working on iPhone 5 and therefore cannot sync Google contacts.


HERE IS THE SOLUTION thatI hope works for you as well!

Background: Here is the solution since Google stopped support of Exchange in February 2013 for any new device – including iPhone5. All I wanted to do is keep my Google contacts in sync with the phone. There is no problem with Gmail because all you have to do is add your Gmail account.


It took me days to find this link WHICH IS THE SOLUTION I needed! I previously went to the Apple Store as well as the Microsoft Store with no resolve. Apple said it’s a Microsoft Exchange problem and Microsoft told me it’s an Apple phone.

If this helped, let me know.

I have the free google apps account. Had it for 3 years and always syncd ipad and iPhone through ms exchange. Two days ago my iphone 4 stopped receiving push email but my ipad4 still gets instant pushed email? They are both on the same account, I only use one email address? Tried everything, it's just stopped. The phone only works now when I manually pull

Existing devices that already had push enabled should still work. Any new devices that you add will not work. If you did not change anything on that devices and it just stopped working I would contact google otherwise you are out of luck.
