IPhone – Email notification issues (iPhone 4S with ios 5.1.1)

iphonemobile-mailnotifications

I have 5 email accounts on my iPhone 4S. One is my work email and is on a Microsoft Exchange. The other 4 are personal accounts and are Gmail accounts. I have turned on notifications so I will be notified of incoming emails. The only account that sends me notifications is my work email.

Apple tells me that all accounts should be sending me notifications and that I may need a technician to complete a software configuration. I have only had the phone 3 days and Apple wants to charge me $59 for them to reconfigure their software issue.

Has anyone else run into this issue, and if so, how have you been able to work around or correct the problem?

Thanks

Are you setting up your Gmail accounts as "exchange accounts? If not I would recommend doing so. Here is a quick walk trough. http://email.about.com/od/iphonemailtips/ss/Set_Up_Push_Gmail_in_iPhone_Mail_Step_by_Step_Screenshots.htm
