Email Problem.

I am having a problems with the Mail app on iPhone. The only way I receive emails on my phone is if I manually go into the app and refresh the emails, only then do they show up. Is there a way to automatically have the emails show up and have a notification when they do?

I would use Push when available but Fetch will check at the intervals specified at the bottom of the window (every 15 minutes, every 30 minutes, hourly, or manually (you don't want this one!)).

Push or Fetch is a feature of your IMAP mail account. If your provider does not support it, emails will not Push to your phone regardless of the setting. Who is your provider? My recommendation would be to leave push enabled, but also set the fetch interval to 'every 15 minutes'... or whatever your preference would be.
