Since upgrading to iOS 11 I only get Mail push notifications when in Mail or the Home screen. Otherwise all my queued up messages appear when I open Mail. I see the same behavior on my iPhone and iPad. Is this a known problem, and is there a workaround?
iPhone 7, iOS 11
To summarize what has already been posted many times in this thread:
Push
Push email - that is, email that appears on the phone as soon as it reaches the server - requires the email provider to send push notifications. Currently, Apple's iCloud email and Microsoft Exchange are the only email providers that support Push. Google used to, and Yahoo used to, but neither of them support Push with Apple's email app anymore. You must use the gmail and yahoo app, respectively, to receive Push email from gmail or yahoo
Fetch
If your provider does not support Push you can set up Fetch on the account. It will check for email periodically; you set how frequently you want it to check.
Manual
Email will only appear when you open the mail app.
You must set which you want to use in the phone's Settings for each account.
My email address has evolved from being an original .mac.com addressee from over 10 years ago to a me then iCloud. It works on my Mac but not my new X iPhone. Shame.

Yes, I've noticed that upgrading to iOS 11 reset some settings.
Thanks that worked 👌-1F3FB;
I would take that number with a HUGE grain of salt and most in the thread didn't say what mail service they were using. Even if was 1624 what percentage of the installed base of iOS 11 would that be?
