Temp fix for iOS 6 not pushing Exchange mail

seems to have done the trick for me...

This worked for me also, thanks...

Me too, that didn't last long. Looks like there is a thread on Verizon's site where others are having the same problem. I have Verizon.

Same here. The fix worked for a time and then stopped. Seems no matter what I do, from software restores to factory, etc., it always comes back. Several other colleagues in my office have the same problem with both Exchange and Gmail but different cell service providers. So sounds like it's not the carrier.

Thanks Superclay, but I've already tried that and more...still no luck it works for like 5 to 10 minutes then stops pushing. I even went as far replacing my iphone 5 today and still no luck. I also deleted my exchange account from my exchange server and recreated it, deleted device partnerships and re-added.....nothing push is still not working. Push email for me is very significant. I too am on Verizon. I had to go back to my 4S which is running IOS 6 but push works flawlessly on that device. It must be some kind of code that runs on the IOS 6 version for iphone 5 that is fudging this up. I hope Apple and Verizon tackle this issue immediately because its causing me not to use my iphone 5, such a critical feature....not working...stay positive!

Ok, This is how I fixed it. Instead of adding a "gmail" account, you are going to add an exchange account. Fill out all the info with your "gmail" account info. use m.google.com for the server.

Make sure it's on push and you're done.

Hi David,

This post is not related to Gmail its about Exchange. So far no updates from Appl to address this very serious problem...

My apologies. I couldn't get gmail to push, brought me here. Just FYI - we use exchange at work and have no problems on ios6.

Hi David,

Are you using an iphone 5 with your exchange server at work?

I have also been having this problem with my iPhone 5. I've tried all the fixes, including the one listed by SuperClay above and also removing and re-adding the account, rebooting, etc. For me it is intermittent though. I sometimes do get my exchange emails immediately by push and other times I will open up my mail app and it will sync and find a bunch of emails that should have shown up hours before.

There is at least one other person that I work with that has an iPhone 5 as well and is having the same issues as me, also intermittent like mine. I am on Verizon and he is on Sprint.

On the phone with Apple support trying to get the issue escalated to engineering. At least it serves as some kind of "comfort" that I'm not the only one having this issue and it seems somewhat isolated to Verizon customers or CDMA carriers...hmmmm very interesting indeed. I have users who are on iphone 5 with att connected to the same exchange server and they report no issues with push. I really hope this gets resolved soon or I'm returning the phone and going back to my 4S, which works flawlessly. It just ***** cause I really want to use my iphone 5 but I can't trust it!

I am having this problem as well with my iPhone 5 on Sprint. I spoke to Apple a few days ago and had the issue escalated to engineering. I should be hearing back from them in a couple of days. I will update this thread as I get new information.

I have the same problem described above. Verizon - 2 Exchange accounts (work and gmail). I can get push to work for a short period (either with steps described above or just turning off SIRI), but it eventually stops working again.

Going back to my 4S until this gets resolved.
