I'm not sure if anyone else has issues with this but I'm not receiving my email notifications. I would have to click the Mail icon and refresh the inbox to receive my emails. I want to know instantly that I have mail, do I need to do something or do I have a faulty device?
 
Do you have it set to push or fetch? If push, you should get them right away.
 
My exchange mails are also delayed. Sometimes not coming in until I turn the screen on, even though the time stamp is 30+ minutes earlier sometimes.
 
If it's gmail, instant push is an issue on google's end of things and not related to apple or your phone. If instant notification is crucial, you may want to use a different mail app. Mailbox, for example, gets instant notifications.
 
I use Hotmail. It's on Push. My old 5 never had this problem. Probably a glitch, hoping future update will fix it?

Wait, the Hotmail doesn't have option for Push, only Fetch and Manual??
