Set Outlook On For Pushmail Trial And Error

You and the other fellow are not fully comprehending what Ive explained.

I assume Ive done this correctly because notifications (banners on locked screen, history, etc.) work for my mac.com account.

Im on iPhone 8 with the latest iOS updates.

I have to manually load Apple Mail to see if I got a message.

If so, its one more reason for me to give up on Apples overly exclusive eco-system.

Gmail does not send Push notifications, except to the gmail app.

Your private IMAP server apparently isnt configured to send Push notifications either.

Gmail used to, but they stopped when they released their own gmail app.

They still will Push if you have a premium paid enterprise account.

Yahoo mail used to also, but they stopped when their mail app was released.

MS Exchange and Office 365 will Push, but regular free Microsoft email will not, except to their own mail client (Outlook).

While I appreciate your feedback, again I said I can already do push notification thru other clients like Outlook.

And its fre. In fact, I just downloaded Outlook (free version) in apps store and setup up my imap email.

Presto. It works fine, I get push notifications.

Further it required not action from my IMAP email provider.

So again. unless I hear some practical free solution for push notification on my Apple Mail client, Im leaving it.

Its frankly unacceptable that Apple would block a basic service that other clients (such as Outlook) provides.

The free and practical solution is to install the free Gmail app in addition to the native iOS Mail app.

Use the Gmail app to get push notifications as allowed by Google and the iOS app to readcompose your mail.

As unacceptable as ranting here with idle threats and inaccurate information.

I have an IMAP email account with DomainHost (non-Google) that I successfully connected to Microsoft Outlook client software (not Gmail) without modifying anything with my email account server, so Ive demonstrated that it is possible to receive push notifications with other clients.

In fact, I can get push notifications on Outlook with my gmail emails.

Based on my multiple trial and error, Apple Mail is the main problem.

If you dont know what youre talking about, or youre going to spout Apple marketing dogma, dont.

But I digress. It is looking more likely I have to leave Apple Mail because no one can honestly help resolve an issue that is perhaps unresolvable.
