Your iPhone is capable of retrieving email messages (called emails) every X minutes depending on the settings in the message recovery settings. (Settings> Mail, Contacts, Calendar> New data). A number of users have encountered problems with this widely used function, which is present in iOS 5 with iCloud.
A solution was considered by a reader of the Razorianfly.com site:
Diagnostic
- Close all applications in the background
- Restart your device (which normally runs on iOS 5)
- Send an email from another email client
- Wait for the push which indicates having received the mail (red dot on the mail icon)
- Open Mail.app then quit Mail.app
- Resend an email again from another email client
- Wait for the push which indicates having received the mail (red dot on the mail icon)
- Result: it works when Mail.app is open in the background
- Kill Mail.app for multitasking (close the application completely)
- Resend an email again from another email client
- Wait for the push which indicates having received the mail (red dot on the mail icon)
- Result: it doesn’t work when Mail.app is not open in the background
Solution
- Go to iCloud.com
- Create a new @ me.com account different from the old one
- On your iPhone, configure the new account in the iCloud settings
- Only activate email synchronization
- Result: the push for emails works perfectly
