No notifications for gmail email

[mrsburney83]

Hello, I have 3 separate email accounts on my Ipad. 1 Exchange and 2 Gmail. I will only receive notifications when I receive Exchange email. I have the notifications on for the other two gmail accounts but the only time I see a new email is when I actually go into the mail function and manually refresh. Any help provided will be appreciated. Thanks.

Did you say that you have the notifications on for all 3 emails? Sorry, I couldn't tell from what you stated. If not, make sure that all 3 under settings. You can determine how you want the notification to appear and with or without sound. Hope that helps.

Also, if you have the email setting as fetch manually --but going into the app and manually updating...than I don't think that the notification will work for the ones that are fetched like that. Does that make sense?

Yeah, sounds like you have manually fetch set for the gmail accounts. Why not set all the accounts as exchange?

I had this with my 2 gmail accs. I have my settings set to to Fetch every 15mins but I also have the Push option set to Push. I no longer have to open email to get notifications of new emails on either ipad or iphone.

Thank you all. I already had it set for push mail but once I changed the fetch time to 15 minutes I did start receiving the notifications. Thanks for all the help.
