Mail Notifier: push for almost any email account on iPhone

Can you check if the emails are getting deleted off the server when you read them? If it does, it should reset the badge count.

For some reason they weren't deleted from the server, my iPhone POP account is set to delete from server When remove from Inbox, so everything looked fine, but I also remembered that it has been a couple of days that I have noticed that I was deleting the emails from that POP accounts on teh iPhone but then at night when getting home I still had the emails there, so obviously something was wrong.

So, I decided to delete the account from the app, this got rid of the badge, then I deleted the POP account from the iPhone and then created it again, then went to the app and added the POP again.

I can tell you that I have received about 4 emails from that acount and all of them has been deleted from the iPhone, from the server and the badge takes a little longer to update but it's resetting correctly now. So apparently it wasn't the APP at all, it was something on the iPhone that wasn't deleting the email from the server as it was doing and suddenly stopped doing.

So, for me it's working great now. Congrats.
 
How is this app working for everyone? I ask because I have been using GPush for a few months, and it works quite well (though here are issues with wifi connections, which cause some interference with mail notifications ....).

Since yesterday, GPush no longer works, it seems their "internal server" is down. They do not reply to support inquiries, nor have they ever (I tried to contact them several times about the wifi issues).

So I am looking to change apps, and Mail Notifier seems to be well-liked ... is version 2.0 going to be released anytime soon?

I use a Gmail imap account, I am not clear if that is currently supported ...

Many thanks for any input.

Simply put, this app works flawlessly. I have never had any issues with receiving push notifications at all. It's well worth the $5.
 
Thanks for the feedback, everyone.

I guess I was a bit confused because the upcoming release of Mail Notifier 2.0 is described as featuring "Support for IMAP/POP3 accounts" ... I use a Gmail account set up for IMAP and I wasn't sure if that would work with the current version of Mail Notifier.
 
how much longer can we expect this to hit the app store im really looking forward to this i miss out on geting the beta.
 
I was wondering when Apple got around to approving 2.0. I can finally test out the silent period (which I'm looking forward to since I had push notification sounds off).
 
I noticed the new 2.0 version has added a "Subscription" button, however mine says "Lifetime." Are people who purchased this in the past going to be required to purchase a subscription in the future?

2.0 is working great for me, though. :)
 
Love 2.0 the 2 things that i was looking for is now in Great Job this is one of my favorite push apps out!

Users who purchased the app before the new update automatically get the lifetime subscription :)

Arghh! I just missed that ... it appears 2.0 was released yesterday and the description in the App Store now answers my original question about IMAP accounts: two of the features listed are "Support for Hotmail, Gmail, AOL" and "Support for any IMAP email account".

I had hesitated about buying it before the 2.0 release because I wasn't sure it would work with my Gmail IMAP account, thus my original question ... which has now been self-answered. ;)

Oh well, c'est la vie. I guess I'll have to buy the subscription version now if I want to use Mail Notifier. Thanks again to everyone for their replies.
 
Just bought 2.0 and it says lifetime subscription. No idea if this is correct or a glitch?!
 
I wish that the "Launch Webmail" feature to launch the native default mail app that comes with all iPhones rather than going into the web itself..

Majority users of Gmail, AOL or Windows Live users would definitely use the default native mail app than going into the web itself...

We would love to do that. Unfortunately, due to limitations of the iPhone SDK, it won't let us.
 
Alright I'm confused as to whether Mail Notifier 2 supports POP. This thread states that POP is supported....but the description of the app in the App Store does not say this?

I have a comcast.net POP account...will Mail Notifier 2 work for me?

There is an option for POP in the app and it works. However, POP hasn't been tested thoroughly enough yet, which is the reason why we do not want to advertise it yet at the moment.

I may add, that I don't think that it hasn't been tested enough, what I have noticed is that the iPhone, for some reason is not deleting the emails from the POP server quite well. I mean, if I go to settings, everything is set as it should, it says that Emails will be deleted from Server when removed from Inbox, the remove option is set to After One Day (that's all I can see that we can set on the iPhone), then, if I receive an email after going through the settings, it removes it from the server, but then it just stop doing it again, at least until I go again and go through the settings.

Problem is that once it begins giving issues deleting from the POP server then it begins giving issues with the App, because obviously until it gets deleted from the server, you will keep the badge on it saying that you have X amount of emails.

So, I think that it will better just to find why iPhone is doing this, and if there is a solution for it, it will make the app as perfect as possible, at least for now.

Ok...I'll wait till you do some testing and/or refinements.

You got lucky and bought it right before we switched over to subscription on the server. :)

Thanks for the clarification! Whats the licence associated with - my iTunes account, the phone or that particular installation?

Hmm really ? Because I thought PushGmail allows launching of the default native mail app ? I really wish this feature could be implemented :)

PushGmail launches the compose screen where you have to hit cancel to dismiss it and read your emails, which adds little value.

It is better to have an option to launch the web app or the home screen where in the home screen you are only one tap away from the Mail app anyways.
