Still a delay. Not 45 minutes as I was experiencing, but still not pushing properly. iMessage seems to be working correctly again though.
Got a tip for us?

It's possible they want to make sure the fix is behaving in the way they predicted it would.
So now that push seems to work is there anyone here with iPhone 7Plus? Curious if you are able to search (spotlight search) thru messages and messages content that were there prior to the time you upgraded to iPhone 7Plus. I can't and it seems to be limited only to plus model.
8 hours and email is still pushing. Also seems very fast.
I just sent 4 emails 10 secs of each other to myself to test and it came in almost immediately
Thank god they found the problem and fixed it
Thanks to the persistence of the guys in the thread in reporting it to Apple as well

This is looking very promising but I think Apple is still working on this. Push has been working great since yesterday afternoon for me but I've occasionally had delayed emails come in, but they were delayed on server side, wasn't a push failure. Both Mail and 3rd party email apps were not showing them and then all of a sudden they showed up on both apps. Still, very promising.
Some good reports, but........
Apple has lost my loyalty! Due to the way they handle these serious failures ('oh, this is the first we've heard of this'), I can't be confident that it just works.
There are too many failures/ problems occurring to their core products.......hissgate and this iCloud infrastructure for example.
They've lost their way because they seem to be concentrating on more emojis, fancy camera effects and building a car rather than quality of their core infrastructure. When I say infrastructure, I really mean engineering.
I remain pessimistic that this issue is fixed permanently!

Incoming push is working well but when i read the email on one of my devices, the other one is not informed that the mail is read, thus the notification (eg banner) remains active... dissapointing aint it?

A pity actually... My other email provider (exchange for my work) is working like that!
So back to fetch for the icloud email!
Thanks though for the reply!
The battery drain would me immensely more if it was constantly checking the server. Third Party Apps that use IDLE, consume more background usage because its constantly looking for mail updates.
Actually when iCloud mail was first introduced it did used to work like that. When an email was read on one device it was marked read on all automatically.
Apple stopped doing that a few years ago.
Are you sure? I've been using iCloud as email since it was .mac, so over a decade. Been using an iPhone since the first one. It has never supported cross-device instant read/delete updates for my account/devices.
I'm positive. I used to use MobileMe and for a long period when I read email on my iPhone, the badge count would go away on my iPad and vice-versa. I was so used to it that when it stopped working, I called Apple support. I never got an answer about it since they were fairly clueless, but it never worked since (been a few years).
Bizarre. In almost a decade that has never once been the case for me. And it's even outlined in the support article. So maybe you were the exception and not the rule?
Yeah this has never been the case for me either. Not with MobileMe or with iCloud.
I'm still hanging on w/ Spark until I hear more people chime in that push is no longer problematic w/ the native mail app.
Side question - does anybody know how Spark makes money? It seems like a slick app and it works really well; much nicer then the stock app. So - why is it free?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but at least for me push just stopped working and back to behaving like before (the last 3 or so weeks). Maybe they're still working on it and any fixes aren't completely bullet proof yet.
Hold on to your 3rd party email apps for now imo.

It's hard to know exactly when it failed. I got a pop-up notification of an email that was time-stamped 45 mins before and then when I went into Mail app to read it, another email popped up as new that was time-stamped an hour and a half before that. Both emails were to my icloud account. FWIW, my support ticket is still open.
