I'm going to as well. Had the issue since Wednesday now. Wasn't sure if there was a feedback style app like there was with the betas.
I don't think it's related to the app being removable. That's been possible for a while, this bug started 6 days ago for me. I'm on beta 3.
my Gmail along with mac mail is all delayed kinda........i have to open the app to get the mail. My aol on the other hand comes right in with no issues......sadly my aol is my junk mail tho so thats the last mail i really care to read....HAHA
Right, which is why I think it is on Apple's end. Unrelated to which iOS version we are running.
Skype staff stated
We have discovered that iOS 10 has a bug in the way it delivers push notifications. While we wait for Apple to provide a patch, we are working on mitigation's so Skype users can continue to receive notifications where possible.
So it could be issue also with iOS 10, not only on server side.

What I don't understand is why they don't use the push notification server for their own iCloud mail. Instead the phones has to maintain 2 connections. One to the mail IMAP and another to the Apple push notification server for other apps.
One advantage to using the push server for mail would be read email could be synced across devices n the badge count updated accordingly without even opening the iOS mail app
Right now because the phone doesn't support IMAP idle because of battery issues, its unread badge only gets updated when new mails come in or I open the app manually

Update as of this morning. I was told Apple is aware of the issue and engineering team is working on this. When I asked of a time frame, I was told they didn't have one but to rest assured that the fact that this has been placed as an escalated ticket means they are aware that it is a critical bug and are working on it. Will update as necessary.
I don't think iOS devices hold the IMAP connection like mail clients on PCs/Macs do. I am starting to think it is iOS10 related. That Skype report sure gives me pause.
My iCloud push email seems to be a lot better today, not saying it's completely fixed but my notifications are coming in around the same time as my PC running Thunderbird is getting them.
It does seem a little better, started to get them pushing through now not too long after they were sent. It has done this earlier over the weekend for a while and then not worked again so we'll see...
Back to not pushing again
I mean, thats a positive right? Means they are working on it?
[doublepost=1476720821][/doublepost]Mine seem to be working better at the current moment. Slightly longer delay than my Mac, but they are still going through within a minute.
Having the same issue here (iPhone 7 iOS10.0.3).
I only noticed it because email was coming in in chunks/groups (3-to-5 emails come in at a time) where one of the emails would be pushed but the rest would be out by as much as a few hours.
I'm guessing people reporting this via the web to apple are beta testers? If not, how are people reporting this on the website? Can someone post a link?

Thanks. I posted a feedback on the website apple.com/feedback under the iCloud umbrella.
I noticed the same exact thing yesterday really bad. Like a 7 hour delay. But it's been spotty for almost a week now.
Count me in. iOS 10. iCloud email just stopped working about 4-5 days ago. Missing out on a lot of important emails. now I have made it a habit to open the email app in order to get my emails "on time".
Called Apple and the rep I talked to said it was the first they heard of this issue. Ugh.
