Add me to that list. Push and Fetch no longer work after installing 2.1. And frequently the manual email check hangs with a continuous spinning “connecting” symbol.  I hope a fix for this is on the way.

I’ve never been able to get push to work with my .mac account, even after resetting/following Apple’s troubleshooting. Hope whatever fix they come up with helps me as well!

Definitely. I thought it’s just me. I’ve been changing my settings almost daily, but fetch (maybe push also) isn’t working correctly.

Oddly enough this problem started for me today.

I have a scheduled email that I get every morning from my google calender. After getting my morning coffee I hit my email button by accident when trying to get in a game of 2across. Fetching was lagging and I ended up with 8 unread messages.

for reference I have three gmail accounts on 30min fetch and a mobile me account on push and still got nothing

2.1 fixed the problems I was having with mail in 2.0.x
Before Mail would periodically hang while checking for email and I’d have to end task (hold down Home button) on Mail to get it working again.  Since upgrading to 2.1 I haven’t seen this issue (or the issue where mail doesn’t check while device is asleep) with either iPhone or iPhone 3G.  I’m checking Gmail, Yahoo! (push), MobleMe (push), and Exchange (push) accounts with push-enabled and 15 minute fetch.

Since i setup my iPhone (2G) from scratch after installing 2.1 i got rid of all of my problems.
Phone is as rock solid as it was with 1.1.4.
Push Email using mobileme works like SMS services. Most of the time it is even faster than my mac email client.

Checking my other email accounts is set to every 60 minutes and works too.

nothing wrong with my phone checking for email every hour.

This hasn’t affected me. 2.1 solved all of the bugs that were bugging me (3G problems, battery life, etc.), and Fetch still works great. I can’t speak about Push because I don’t use that, but Fetch still checks regularly and delivers as promised. I always wonder why these kinds of problems affect some, even many, but not all users.

My iPhone is having the fetching problem too. I noticed it since about a week ago. No huge complaints here, just waiting for a patch to come out soon.

I think that Christian above has the right idea… I did the same - set up my phone as a new phone when 2.1 came out and it’s been rock solid on most every front since I installed the new firmware. No issues with email polling or pushing.

I have been really pleased with 2.1 for the most part. App downloads are seamless and problem-free. No freezing, no reboots, no text delays…but Safari still closes on occasion.

I have the exact same fetching problem both on my first iPhone and my new 3g model It started somewhere with 2.0 software and above. Very frustrated.

wow…  once again, i’m not having any of these issues.  Fetch and Push work fine for my Exchange ActiveSync.  and yes, i’m running 2.1 firmware.

No problems at all with push or fetch with 2.1 installed and using Izzymail for Office Live Hotmail.  For that matter, the phone worked fine before 2.1 and works better in some instances after installing 2.1

Add me to the list. Fetch/Push stopped working with my Google Apps email account since 2.1

I have a 1st gen iPhone, and e-mail rarely works on it’s own. 9 times out of 10 it fails ever since I upgraded to version 2.1 firmware.

Very frustrating, though I am glad to hear Apple is making it a priority. Until then, I’ll probably just use snail mail or carrier pigeon as they’re more reliable.

I updated to 2.1 a couple of days ago. I had no problems to start with, now I havn’t been able to sync at all in two days.

Both my personal email and push email at work are functioning perfectly on my 1G, 4GB iPhone running 2.1.

I repported earlier that my e-mail stopped working a couple of days after installing 2.1

Now, after deleting my e-mail accounts on the iPhone and then syncronizing the accounts via iTunes, it works properly again. This is spooky since I double checked all settings on the iPhone and nothing seemed to be wrong.

I had some problems with email after 1st upgrading the firmware. My problem is that Safari and most apps crash after about 15 seconds. Phone and email are about all that really works right now.
