Anybody else have problems with iCloud email? Unless I open the mail app it will not push email. Had this problems since beta 7..

Setup my iPhone 4 as new this morning and I still have the same problem :confused:

Yes. I'm having this issue as well. None of my emails are getting pushed to the phone. Anyone know why?

Also, why does it have to show my apple id (different email) as the iCloud email account?

Yes, mine has been doing that. It's very sporadic. I think it's because Apple is still switching everything and the servers are getting bogged down.

On my Mac I have not upgraded to Lion. I'll do that tonight.

But between the phone and iCloud I may figured out what was wrong. I didn't have iCloud as my default email account. I changed that just before lunch and tried once I got back. 30 second delay from email to the alert on my phone. Didn't show my email message on the lockscreen though.... :confused: Looking into that now.

Edit: Lockscreen emails now show up!

Maybe Simple fix: update your old “me.com” password to meet the new 1 cap/1number parameters on iCloud.


I reset my pass with capital letters in the pass and it now goes through

SE Penna.
When sending for my iPad I get a p05-smtp.mail.me.com server connection error. Been like that since the update. My iPhone works fine.
