iOS 8 Exchange Email no longer Pushes

I Deleted and re-connected my email. No contacts seem to be lost, and I'm finally getting my email. I still have issues with my phone randomly freezing and kicking me out of places, and when I delete email, it pops back up in my inbox sometimes 2 or 3 times. It's aggrabating to have to keep deleting the sams email. It hhappens with text messages also. Apple has really ruined my phone with those updates. I've been an iPhone owner for a while, but I think it's time to change.

This exchange account was set up with gmail - found below link which I think says gmail using exchange was "turned off for new accounts".

I'm guessing that with new phone, it would not let gmail exchange work - but it sent email, just sync contacts.

Regardless, I turned to "regular google" setup, not exchange, and it seems to be working. Of course, I lost contact edits on my new iPhone I made since getting the phone.

Of all the bugs I get with IOS 8.02, the biggest headaches are in Mail program. Hopefully will get better with 8.1, supposedly coming out today.

The use of Gmail for Exchange was turned off by Google some time back. Not sure if that was iOS6 or 7. Users were generally okay for a while unless they got new devices. That is probably what happened to you. You can use the Gmail app, some say it works better for mail. Seems Google does not want to play nice with Apple any longer.

My Gmail still works. I have both AOL and Gmail accounts on my phone The issue I had was with my AOL because that's my primary and where all my mail goes to.

Update

4 days later both the iPad and iPhone lost connectivity again to Exchange ActiveSync.

Deploying SP3 on the Exchange environment this weekend. Then Rollup 7.

The patches contain a few fixes for iOS ActiveSync issues.

Thanks Ninjaneer!

Worked on my iPhone 5S iOS8.1 too

I installed IOS 8.1 last night on 4 devices and after rebooting, it was working all devices! However, this morning, it's not working anymore, on all 4 devices. I tried to delete the account and reset the network settings, but it is still not working. IOS 8.1 did not fix this bug, on all my 4 devices. This is so annoying!

A lot of people say change push settings and so on but I found changing the password completely was really the only best long term cure.

- try change passwords for exchange account(s)

If everything else mentioned here fails and you are specifying a Outlook Web server URL as the Exchange server in iOS, i.e., outlookweb.domain.com, check the number of devices you have registered with the Outlook Web server. Unknown to most of us, there is a limit of 10 mobile phones a user can sync with an Outlook Web server. If you try to register the 11th, you will get an email from "Outlook" addressed to your Exchange email address that says:

Subject: Error with your new mobile phone partnership
You have 10 phone partnerships out of the maximum allowed 10 partnerships. After you reach the maximum, you can't create additional partnerships until you delete existing ones from your account. To do so, sign in to Outlook Web App, click Options > Phone > Mobile Phones, and delete any unused partnerships.

Check your junk mail since it may have ended up in there. If you did get it, you have to drill down through "more options" in Outlook Web to find the Phone menu. Once I deleted my old devices, I was able to sync with no problems. BTW, if you have more than one iPhone/iPad registered, you can highlight each one and click on "details" to figure out which is which since they are all listed as just iPhone/iPad.

My thanks to scrateef on the MacRumors iOS8 forum for this information.

I have found a workaround that allows the push email to work.

1. From Home Screen Settings->Notifications->Mail

2. Choose Exchange Email

3.Turn on "Show on Lock Screen"

You will get push alerts now.

Delete your exchange account and re-add before trying my steps above.

Facing Same problem. I have to open mail application to download the mails.

Solution posted above.

Please link solution. Push works on my iPad mini, iPad Air, iPhone 6 but NOT on my iPhone 5. I tried everything listed below:

1) Reset iPhone

2) Delete Exchange e-mail Account (this worked for a few hours and stopped, never worked again after)

3) Change Password

4) Kenb recommendation:

1. From Home Screen Settings->Notifications->Mail

2. Choose Exchange Email

3.Turn on "Show on Lock Screen"

5) Added the account to other devices all work fine except the iPhone 5.

The iPhone accepts the Account when added. Then it does not sync. When i send out a test e-mail it says "The message was rejected by the server".

I can't get it to work with the iPhone 5.

I too was having this issue on my iPhone 6+ - running iOS 8.1 with my email accounts using Exchange. The emails would not load unless I opened the Mail app. I followed one suggestion in this thread that has worked like a charm.

1. Delete the Exchange account

2. Hard reset your phone (hold power+home button until apple shows up)

3. Add Exchange account back in.

My emails are loading just as they should now.

Good luck all! I know how frustrating this is! o_O
