email not pushing in iOS 10?

Have had iOS 10 installed for a while now and since about yesterday it seems that email's are not being pushed to my iPhone. Anyone having the same problems? Tried turning Push off then back on again but nothing seems to work.

Apple with @me.com. It's like Apple turned a switch off or something. I've never had a problem before. This morning one email appeared to get pushed and 2 other emails showed up to like 20 minute time difference. Really strange.


Might be a problem with cellular connection only? Not sure. Emails were being pushed when I was on Wi-Fi last night and now that I'm at work with cellular only they are not being pushed...

Hi. Been experiencing the same push problem for some days now. Never ever had any push problems before.

Have an icloud.com email adress on mail app in iPhone 6s configured. Installed the outlook app. There push works fine.

When mail is viewed online on iCloud.com, and you there delete an unread message, push mail works immediately to iPhone. Seems as push works for trash can but not for inbox.

Yep, having the same problem, but not all the time.

Have one iPhone 7 and one 7 plus and sometimes one gets the push but not the other, sometimes both gets the push and sometimes none of them do (but the push may arrive on one or more of the iPads).


Have 10.0.3 on the phones and 10.0.2 on the iPads. Have tried restart, turning off/on push and some such (have not tried to restore phones, but others seem to have done that with little or no luck so...).


Hopefully 10.1 will fix it (have not tried the beta).

Yup, same here.

I've put all my eggs in Apple's basket, using iCloud only for email, and my old Google account automatically forwards to my iCloud now.


I too have the push issues. Sometimes they come through no problem, other times I'll open up the mail app on the iPhone 7 Plus, and an email from the night before will refresh. It's a real problem, as I'm normally very punctual with my responses.

I have however noticed that if I'm on my MacBook, the email notification will popup on my computer, and not my phone to avoid multiple devices sounding off. However this isn't always the case, as it happens when I'm out of the house as well.


I really hope someone finds a solution, or Apple pushes a fix. Has anyone reported this as a bug to the iOS bug report submission forum?

yeah, this doesn't seem like something that's going to get fixed anytime soon.

The Apple support online chat guy said we escalated my case for the Apple engineers to look into it, however my hopes are not very high at this point.


This is one of those situations that others need to step up and report this to Apple via the Bug reporting page or through Apple Tech support via phone or chat like I did last night. If we all just sit and wait for others to do it and for it to magically fix itself, we're going to be waiting a long time. Come on people, help me harass Apple about this So we can get a fix lol
