iOS9 Mail Push Issue

I still have this problem on iOS 9.1: Gmail and other accounts are set to fetch every 15 minutes, but sometimes go hours without fetching mail. The problem is not consistent though, most of the time it works fine, but sometimes, about once a day, it goes AWOL for several hours.

This really needs a fix.

Do you have low power mode on? Mail doesn't fetch in that mode.

Nope, It was never on.

I too am out of luck. Running 9.1. None of my email will consistsntly deliver to my iPhone 6s+. I have the gmail accounts set to fetch every 15 minutes and the exchange and yahoo mail set to push. I'll hit periods where it'll go hours with no mail but when I open the app it downloads mail from all the accounts That are hours old. Other times it works fine. Very frustrating.

I also see the same thing with 9.1 on my iPhone 6. Started a few weeks ago, but not sure if it was when I upgraded to 9.1 or not. IMAP emails (work) and Gmail no longer fetch every 15 minutes. It can go all day without getting an email if I forget to go into the email App. Sometimes, it will fetch on its own, but not reliably. Very frustrating. I have missed work emails for hours because I didn't know they had been sent.

I am having this issue, but only since I switched to a new iPhone 6s. On my iPhone 5s, I upgraded the IOS to 9.1 and the push feature worked fine. It also works fine on my work iPhone 5c, running IOS 9.1.

After I bought the new 6s, I restored my last iPhone backup to the new phone and this is when the push issue started. So I am not convinced the issue is IOS related.

I found a separate thread outside of the Apple Discussions that resolved my issue. Others reported that it ddn't resolve it for them so I am not sure if this will resolve it for you. It seems too simple but it worked for me:

Go into Mail, Contacts, Calendars

Under Accounts, select the account that will not Push (in my case a Yahoo account)

Select the Account (email@host.com >)

Overwrite the password, by typing in the password again

Select Done

Close mail

Like I said, seems simple but I did receive mail (via Notifications) without opening the Mail app after I performed these steps.

Worked! Thank so much!

I'm running on iOS 9.2 and I STILL HAVE THIS ISSUE.

I'm using a push for Exchange, and Hotmail and none of them work.

I had opened a similar discussion here iOS 9 push not working for Mail app

This is just ridiculous.

Neither the workaround mentioned above helps, nor the deleting and re-adding the accounts helps. This is just stupid.

You need to go to setting and general then reset all settings only thing it will erase is your background pic and wifi settings

I Have the same issue.

IPhone 6 plus. Latest os. 2 gmail and 1 imap account in mail app. it was fine on iOS 8. I switched to using Spark for mail while on iOS 8 and switched back to the mail app when iOS 9 came out. That's when mail app stopped checking for email. I wish it was as fast as mail on Mac gets mail. May switch back to spark. I tried all the above tips - haven't helped.

no. no to the new account

When i go into Mail, Contacts, Calandars in settings and click my gmail account, there is no option to type in password. Did they change something in this 9.2? Please help because this is horrible!

It's still the same on iOS 9.2.1:

Mail, Contacts, Calendars >

Accounts

"Account Name" >

Account "name@provider.com" >

Provider Account Information

Name

Email

Password [retype password here]

Description

This is how it looks for a Yahoo account, so not sure if Gmail is different.
