I have an iPhone 8GB running firmware 1.0.2. I have set it to auto check for new mail every 15 minutes but I find that throughout the day I have to manually open the app to make it check for mail and I end up receiving mail that can be hours old. It seems my iPhone only sometimes checks for mail, not every 15 minutes like I set it to. I have restored my iPhone and have done a full reset of the phone and it has made no difference. Is anyone else having the same problem and is there any way to fix it?
Got a tip for us?

It may check every 15 minutes but maybe it can't connect to Edge or wi-fi? Just a thought. I have mine check every hour and it seems sporadic.
mine does it too, since I got it on launch day, and even now at 1.1.1. Havent a clue why. Maybe mail crashes in the background, and doesnt relaunch until its manually reopened?
Ocassionaly, this happened to me in 1.0.2.
restarting the iphone worked for me.
And today I found out that the public library I dropped by, the iphone would not get my email over their wifi. I could safari though.
To get my email I had to turn off wifi,
drop to edge.
get my mail.

I just posted in another thread about this issue. I've had this problem from the beginning. In fact, I signed up for Yahoo to get the push feature. After the initial setup, of Gmail and Yahoo, they just take forever to check. And I have to check it manually too.
