No..... you can set up your outgoing SMTP as gmail and your good to go, no one will even know your running MobileMe. Set up your MobileMe and gmail accounts on your iphone. Set the MobileMe as your default, go into settings click Mail, contacts, calander. Click on your Mobile me account click advanced and you will see outgoing SMTP. Turn MobileMe SMTP outgoing server off, turn gmail SMTP outgoing server on, PRESTO! Your good to go and MobileMe runs and know one will ever know!
[/QUOTE]pretty much what i just said
Is anyone currently having any problems getting email pushed to your iphone. Mine was working, but then I changed MobileMe accounts and I have had no Push since
My calendar is pushing great pretty fast, but no email?? AHH!
ok so my email for both my mobileme and my gmail account (being forwarded to mobileme) were pushing to my iphone now they r only coming up on Mail (which checks every minute so basically instant) anyone else notice this or is it just me?
***i can check manually tho and it loads fine and if i delete my test msgs on my iphone they delete in mail but no more push to iphone...what is apple doing?***

This must be a hit or miss thing, because my email is working great, but no calendar.
Yes, thats the same issue I'm having. MobileMe mail and iPhone mail are not pushing. calender and contacts seem to be working fine. I might try deleting the MobileMe account on my iphone and starting over again. Or I could be patient.

i'm about to be like forget this for a few days come back on monday afternoon and see whats up im sick of sitting here trying to get it to work when i kno its set up right and its just apple's fault. i dont rely on email so i can manage for a few days without push i mean thats what i did b4.
Yup, I've thought the same.
Boy, talk about bad for business. I'm actually looking into the Yahoo! Push email to see if that will meet my needs. I might not even purchase MobileMe now.
Nothing is working!
I called Apple, (Was on hold for 36 minutes) and they told me to disable Push services from my iPhone, until Mobile-Me is working properly. I can't get my iPhone to sync, but my Mac is able to sync with mobile me website. How frustrating? Is anyone else having this issue?

i just deleted all my accounts on my iphone and put just mobileme back on tested it by sending an email to my gmail account (which gets forwarded to mobileme address) and it pushed to both my iphone and mail and then i changed the outgoing to the gmail server and it worked again so it looks like for now reseting all the accounts up works
Well now my push mail seems to be working. MobileMe will work good and only get better with time. We just all need to be patient It's a royal PAIN believe me I've been banging my head on my desk for two days. The reality is no company is good at huge rollouts of new technology products. Microsoft is one terrible example! I do think Apple should not have rolled the iphone and 2.0 plus mobileme to 71 counties all within 48 hours. Give it time and all will be good!
Did anyone think to reboot?
Nothing was pushing to my iPhone at all.
Rebooted it and suddenly, e-mail is pushing with lightning speed.
Contacts weren't there immediately, but I have a lot, so it probably took time to download them.
Calendar, not yet, but soon I think...

If Microsoft had a brain cell (and a marketing dept) they could turn this weekend's fiasco into their own "I'm a PC/I'm a Mac" campaign. But then again, it's Microsoft so I doubt we'll have to worry.
I think I'm going back to my tried and true setup of using straight IMAP from Gmail. It worked great and synced a lot quicker and was always consistant. I'll just live with having to sync my contacts and calendar to my iPhone from my MacBook the way I always have (through iTunes).
Send email to my Gmail account. Shows up on iPhone and MacBook. Read from iPhone and delete, MacBook will show it deleted as well. Works both ways, too.
Not only that but I also noticed if I delete my MobileMe account from my iPhone it deletes all my calendar and contact info as well because that is where it is syncing too. Can you imagine if MobileMe crapped out or something? Ouch.

Its working now
Give it time guys. 4 hours ago I wasn't getting emails to my phone, contacts, or calendars, but now all is coming in at lightning speed. I was skeptic at first but now the problem with the Apple servers must be fixing themselves.

Just got my iPhone today and couldn't get anything to push. Kept restoring the iPhone from a previous backup to no avail. Finally decided to restore the phone and set it up as a new phone. Voila! Now everything is pushing....immediately (well okay, within a few seconds over EDGE!). Of course, I just lost all my Notes and who knows what else.
I can kind of get push working...
I have the MobileMe 1.1 update now too on my 10.5.4 mac..
But push only works from the web interface/iphone -> mac
it doesn't seem to "push" from mac -> web interface/iphone unless i hit the sync button (kinda defeats the object right?)
my sync prefs on mac are set to "automatic".. is that correct (followed from the apple guide)
Also, some of my contacts on the web interface don't appear to have any data, but data exists on my mac/iphone.. completely bizarre

My email was pushing instantaneously earlier today up until an hour ago. Now it doesn't come through at all unless I force the push or pull. Everything else is the same way. I also tried to send a photo to my mobileme gallery from my iphone, and it sent the photo making the 'swoosh' sent sound, but it never showed up in my mobileme gallery.
The whole thing is a total mess at the moment. But having glimmers of how it could work earlier today, I think if they can work through the issues, it'll be pretty awesome.
There's no excuse for Apple's mishaps here, and I won't make excuses for them, but I do think it'll end up making people happy once it starts working. I think it'd be nice if Apple added 3 days (or however many days it takes to get this working correctly) to everyone's mobileme account. So, for instance, in your account settings when you sign into mobileme it says, "expires on July 10, 2009", it should say "expires on July 13 (14, 15, 16, whatever), 2009" as a nice gesture to show people that they shouldn't have to pay for those missed days.
