email won't fetch 11.2.6 8+

A setting of Fetch on Automatic will only fetch mail when the device is connected to wi-fi and power. If you wish to get mail delivered at other times, then you need to set a different Fetch schedule time, such as 15 minutes or more. I'm not sure if this is a change, since I've never used Automatic in the past, but that is the behavior that I have seen in my tests. Others that I have talked to have changed their Fetch schedule and it works. I've always had my personal email set to Fetch every 15 minutes, and it works just fine with my iPhone X on iOS 11.3.

Automatic has always only worked with wi-fi and power. Go into your Fetch settings and try one of the time settings, such as the 15 minute one, which will Fetch the soonest. See if that works. If it does, then you can choose one of the times that meets your needs. I've never seen automatic work with any consistency in Mail.

Have you tried removing the account and installing it again? Unless this is an Exchange account, it should not get mail pushed to it immediately, it should only get the mail based on the Fetch schedule.

To make changes to the Fetch settings, go to Settings>Accounts & Passwords, then tap on Fetch New Data. There you can scroll down under Fetch and set the timing. This Automatic that has appeared only seems to work with wi-fi and power. For you to get a regular fetch schedule, click on 15, 30, or hourly. That will have the mail app check for mail at the scheduled time. As far as sounds are concerned, that is dependent on Notifications, unless you are referring to when connected to the car. That statement by Apple support is not correct. You can get notifications of mail whether on wi-fi or cellular.

I cannot address your comments about this being exclusive to AOL, since I'm not an AOL user. But I am not aware of AOL mail no longer working with the Apple mail app on the phone. Have you tried removing the account from the phone and adding it back again to ensure that it is verifying the account correctly? Are you seeing any error messages when it comes to opening mail? If you are not connected to wi-fi, do you have cellular data turned on?

First off, you cannot overcharge or damage the battery.

Next, if you have it set to Automatic, for it to Fetch, it has to be plugged into power.

If you do not wish to connect it to power, then set the Fetch schedule to a time limit you wish to have your mail checked, and you will not have to wait to open the Mail app to check mail. Fetch can be set to 15 minutes, 30 minutes, hourly.

I am a volunteer here, you rarely get an Apple rep, except to respond to non-answered questions over 24 hours. If you have an account set to Automatic, it will only fetch when connected to power. I cannot address how it worked in the past, as I have never used Automatic. I use Fetch on a 15 minute schedule, and my mail is fetched every 15 minutes. If I am connected to power, it will fetch almost immediately. You can set your phone to what you wish, however you need to understand what the manufacturer has set the options to do. While it may have changed, again I cannot address that, but you have the option to contact Apple Support and ask them.

If you wish to have Apple hear your complaint, then you need to use the feedback link here, https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html, as they do not participate here. If you are using an OEM lightning cable, or one MFi, then your charging circuit will work correctly and will not damage your device. If you decide to use second rate 3rd party cables, then there is a chance that will damage your device and battery both, but that is outlined in your warranty.

Then you need to check all of your mail settings. Not only for the account, but Notifications as well.

Setting for Fetch are found by going to Settings>Accounts & Passcodes. You will see Fetch New Data. What do you see there? Then tap on that to bring up your list of mail accounts. Tap the account in question, and see what the settings is on the account. Then look at the bottom of the page for the time setting.

I'm using iOS 12.2.6 as well as other members of my family and have not experienced a problem. While I have only seen one other user has a question about Automatically setting, and after setting to a time interval, it worked just fine. You may need to restart your phone after changing that Fetch schedule.

It is not necessary to always keep your phone plugged in to fetch mail, nor do you have to constantly open mail and refresh. You just cannot use the Automatic setting. You have to set a time period for the fetch.

If you are experiencing text notifications, that is a separate problem than mail. Has nothing to do with the ability to fetch mail.

And as far as insane, you are not speaking with Apple. This is a user to user technical support forum, and Apple does not participate here. You can share your insanity theory when you go to your Apple Store, or you can use the feedback link here, https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html , which is how they get user feedback.

Okay, so you say that you set it to 15 minutes and you did not receive a notification about mail after 30 minutes. When you opened mail after that 30 minutes, had the mail been downloaded and a badge visible on the mail app, or did it download when you opened mail?

Then you state that you had been using the phone, laid it down and the screen was still unlocked and you received a mail and saw the notification on the screen. Is that correct?

Can you provide a screenshot of your notification screen for Mail? Make sure that you cover any personal information.

Hey Eric, I had the same issue with my 7+ two weeks ago. Had to do a reset, according to Apple. Ten minutes after the reset was done out comes the 11.2.6 update to fix that problem. Now it’s running slower by the day since Friday and they’re telling me that I have to do it all over again!!!! Apple products are beginning to suck just like all the rest. You might want to see if an update mysteriously comes out again soon.

I have the same problem on my 8+. I had NO difficulty getting my email until I updated to i0S 11.2.6. Prior to the update, I would get mail throughout the day, it didn't matter if the screen was dark or not, and my phone did not need to be connected to wi-fi. Now I have to open the email app and pull down to refresh before any new mail appears on the screen. I have changed no settings on my phone so it has to be i0S 11.2.6 that is causing this problem. My phone was working perfectly until this update.

So after 3 weeks of talking to Apple I just got the call that this is a new "feature" with 11.2.6 ..and will only work being plugged in...really ...***....who keeps their phone plugged in all the time..and who has the time to constantly open up email and refresh....really Apple.....you are screwing up my life.....The friggin upgrade...these **** upgrades ruin my phone alllllll the time. I'm sooooo ******. I have 2 AOL accounts (one for me, one for work that can't be changed) and now I never know when my BOSS is sending an email.....and I also am not getting text notifications.

I don't understand why Apple does this sh--t......I work as a personal assistant and depend on getting these notifications. I'm going to the Apple store tonight and if they don't fix it...I'm getting rid of this phone and going to Android. THIS IS INSANE APPLE......WHY ????? WHY DO YOU MESS WITH STUFF WHEN IT'S WORKING JUST FINE!!!!!
