Re: Mail badge not changing when eMails come in.

[Tom Lange]

Hi, Go to Settings, scroll down a bit and you’ll find it. Double tap it. You can decide whether background app should be off altogether or specify which apps can refresh in the background.  Oddly enough, I didn’t see Mail in the list of apps, and I double-checked.  Tom On Sep 9, 2024, at 1:15 PM, Peter Tesar <pte...@ca.inter.net> wrote:  My_ISP account is imap. I turned on the push and now occasionally hear a higher badge number announced. This is with the Home screen in the foreground and Mail highlighted. Now where is the background app refresh?

Also, settings, mail, near the top should be another spot that needs to have badges on.  If those are on, and still no changes, maybe calling Apple.      Richard, USA "INTROVERTS UNITE ...

This number does not change unless I open the Mail app.    For example: On the Home screen, I highlight “mail” and hear:    Mail 0 unread Email   I leave the Iphone (on the Home screen) for an hour and then check (by flicking back and forth) to hear that the number of unread Emails has not changed. I know new mail was received in that hour.   There are 2 ways to confirm this.   Double tap Mail to open it and Immediately close the mail app to return to the Home screen. Flick back & forth to highlight Mail. The number of unread Emails has gon up.   Or, when the mail app is open, I highlight my_ISP account and hear that there is a higher number of unread Emails than was reported on the Home screen. I even tried this test with the Mail app active but in the background.   If I leave the Iphone untouched (with the Mail app in the foreground) for another hour, the account badge still gives the same number of unread Emails.   Double tapping will open the account, and there is a list of even more unread Emails.   Sometimes when opening the Mail app I hear:    Updated just now   Is the update done only when the Mail app is opened? Why doesn’t the Home screen Mail badge number change automatically to reflect new mail as they come in? Is there a setting to force the Mail app badge to automatically update?   Peter T. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.   If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself.   Your V iPhone list moderator is Mark Taylor.
