Over the past couple of days I've noticed emails not getting pushed to my IP7 on iOS10.1 - I get it on my Mac mail but unless I open the iOS mail app it doesn't appear. Yes I made sure Push is set in settings. I see it mostly on the iCloud account.
Got a tip for us?

Apparently desactivating and re-activating Mail in the iCloud options solved the issue for some people. Haven't tried yet.
I think it might actually be the mail app itself. I downloaded Email by easilydo and I am receiving my emails pushed to me. Not sure what to think...
I've also been affected by this the last few days. Tried everything and no luck. Was working just fine up until a few days ago.
It's crazy that it takes adding iCloud to the Outlook app to get our mail on time. There really needs to be a better solution.
I contacted Apple and had them duplicate the same issue on the tech's phone. Was told they do indeed see the same issue and put a ticket in for this. Appears to be some sort of apple server side error pushing the iCloud emails to the iPhone. Let's see how long this nasty bug persists.
Me neither with my professionnal email account, and my company is using Exchange.
By reading reports of people here in different thread (this one, the link above and in the iOS 10 beta thread) I think it's only related with iCloud.
And because different people using different devices under different iOS versions are reporting the issue, it's almost certain it is related to Apple servers not doing the job properly.
I have this issue on my 6s (10.0.2) - email is delivered instantly on my iPad (5.1) but delays around a minute on the iPhone. Most odd.
On my 7+, mail wouldn't show up at all unless I opened the Mail app. Seems to be working today, but who knows...
Using the iOS 10 Mail app with my work Exchange account, it says it Pushes but it really feels more like it fetches. Usually only updates when I open the Mail app, or every hour or so. This is where the Outlook for iOS app shines, I get my mail in real-time push fashion, like my old Blackberry status usually.
im wondering how many others are affected by this? Or simply not aware of this. One can easily check by turning off iPhone screen for about 30 seconds allowing phone to sleep. Must be asleep to truly tell if push mail is doing its job. Then send an email from other source, laptop, iPad etc. The push email should alert the iPhone within 10 seconds. Still broken as of today for me. Going on about 3 days now.
Mine broke 3 days ago as well. I thought it was iOS 10.1 related but when I went back to 10.0.2 the issue returned after a few hours.
Honestly I'm not sure it's ever worked in true Push fashion for me. Apple has a different definition of "Push" I think - or is missing some key functionality on Exchange accounts which I doubt they'll ever fix.
In fact when I have both Outlook for iOS and Mail on, Outlook gets it first and then it triggers Mail.

Well lets all submit a feedback to Apple. That way they can investigate what the heck is happening. I have noticed that its fine for a bit of time, and then my Mac gets emails delivered and nothing on the iPhone.
Push was working directly into the mail app. I would notice both emails on my mac and my iPhone within seconds of each other. Right now, as it stands, I'm not even getting some emails unless I open the app to refresh. Don't know how exchange affects anything, but it indeed was previously working right into the mail app.
