iPhone Mail not updating after iOS 14 update, even though fetch new data is set to push
Any ideas as to why my Mail inbox only updates my gmail account when I open it? Here are my settings. This only started after the update.

Hello bradley_dj and welcome to Apple Support Communities. It appears you are having some difficulty with a Gmail account after the most recent iOS update.
If you can't receive email on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Try this:
1) Change the setting for that account to Manual.
2) Reboot the iPhone
3) Change the setting back to Fetch and test.
4) If the issue persists, try changing from Automatic to a times option and test again.
5) If the previous steps do not resolve the issue, Try removing the account and then re-adding it. (Gmail accounts are all IMAP which means the mail continues to live on the server so you can do this without fear of data loss. If this happens with some other account, you'll want to ensure it is IMAP before taking this step.)
Cheers.
