Hi all,
I have been a mobileme subscriber since the beginning of the service and its been a rocky road but over the last week ago it seemed to stabilize and finally deliver the promised service. Until today that is.
My first problem is that push email wont work. It is setup properly within my iPhone 3G and it has worked in the past but then it seems to get bored and die on me. I have sent myself a few test emails to my @me.com account from my gmail account and my MacBook picks them up no problem but my iPhone wont pick them up until I manually go into Mail and refresh it. Is there a solution? Push doesn't require a 3G signal to work does it? Certain parts of the push system work. If I update a contact from my iPhone, it will update on my MacBook within 5 minutes, it just seems to be a mail problem. Can I at least put my brain to rest knowing it isn't a problem at my end and Apple are still having technical issues?
Secondly, is push supposed to work within the OSX Mail client? I assumed it would by having the following option ticked: Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Use IDLE command if server supports it. But it only works if I set it up to retrieve mail every 5 minutes or another automatic option. If I have that option ticked and then set the fetch option to manual then I wouldn't get any mail at all.
Lastly, whenever I restore or update the firmware, I can never send any emails from my iPhone. I always have to to delete the account off the phone and and add it again manually. Any solution to this?
Sorry for all the questions, tried my best to google for the answers but couldn't quite find what I wanted.
