Hi jlateo,


For help with receiving email from a specific account, check your settings with the steps below found in the article here: If you can't receive email on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch



"Check Mail Fetch and Notification settings

By default, Fetch New Data settings are based on what's provided by your email service. If Push isn't available as a setting, your account will default to Fetch. These settings affect how your device receives email. To adjust these settings:

  1. Go to Settings > Mail, then tap Accounts.
  2. Tap Fetch New Data.
  3. Choose a setting — like Automatically or Manually — or choose a schedule for how often the Mail app fetches data.


With iOS 11 and later, and iPadOS, Automatically is set by default. Your device will fetch new data in the background only when your device is charging and connected to Wi-Fi.


Make sure that your Notification settings are correct for the Mail app:

  1. Go to Settings, then tap Notifications.
  2. Tap Mail, then tap an email account.
  3. Adjust your Alerts, Sounds, and Badges."


If those settings are correct, continue with the section "Contact your email provider or system administrator" If they find no issues with your account, reach out to Apple Support directly as you've already completed some great troubleshooting on your own.
