Sorry guys, looks like it only worked for a little while. Today push is not working again. Damn this is getting aggravating!

I had the same problem with push not working after the 2.1 update. It's some kind of bug which I'm sure apple will fix fairly quickly. Here's what I did and after several test emails it seems to be fixed;

1) First I backed up my iphone so that I had a current backup should things go wrong 2) Next, I deleted my mobile me account from my iphone (which removed all contacts, dont' panic, this is normal, they will all be restored) and restarted the phone. 3) Next I plugged my phone into the computer and once itunes started up and detected my iphone, I set up my mobile me account on my phone again. 4) Then, I synced my iphone with itunes, this time checking the option to sync mail accounts. After the sync I had two mobile me accounts on my phone. (It must have put the last version that I synced with back on the phone instead of syncing with the new account, which is where I think the bug is) Anyway... 5) Next, I unplugged the phone and deleted both mobile me accounts and restarted the phone again. 6) Then, I plugged the phone into the computer again and once again setup a new mobile me account on my phone once itunes started and detected my phone. I was also sure to name the account with same name I used originally (Apple Mail). 7) Finally, I synced my iphone with itunes again, and again making sure sync mail accounts was checked and waaallllaaa, it worked!

I know this seems like a rig job, like hold the iphone with your left hand stand on one feet and spin around three times, but hey, it worked. And I'm sure there is an easier way to do this. Maybe I could have just synced the first time with the sync mail option checked and it would have worked, maybe it was because when I deleted mobile me and set it up again on my phone with a different name I had a problem. I don't know. I just know that these are the exact steps I took and it worked. I am a pretty computer savvy person and I don't post much but I know how frustrating it is when something like this isn't working correctly. So even at the risk of looking like a fool, I just wanted to post what I did to get push working again for me. Hope it works for you guys too!

I had a slew of problems that 2.1 did seem to fix but my push has completely stopped working as well. Regular push email NOT mobileme (which I can’t afford or advocate since the email push WAS working great before)

My push stopped working as well shortly after upgrading to 2.1. It use to work fine, but since the upgrade it doesn’t work at all
