Surface RT Windows 8.1 mail app problems

[mariusmuntean]

Hello,
I am having some problems with the metro mail app and my microsoft-outlook account.
More exactly, the push email seems to be having problems syncing my emails. If I press sleep button and then come back to the start screen I see the notification and the email on the live tile. If I do not do this, the app won't fetch the email unless I go inside and click sync.
I mention that is a fresh install of windows 8.1, and I have tried to reinstall the mail,calendar,people app. The mail is set to receive all emails as they arrive.
Why is this happening and where could be the problem?
Sometimes it works ok, with some delay but most of the time I have to turn of the screen, back on the start menu and then I see the email notification.

Sometimes when i delete my emails the live tile will still show them as unread. Also when i open gmail from metro, it closes back to the start screen at least once, every time i open it. always if im going from one mailbox to the other. Who knows!

Problem is that by the reviews, many users are having this push setting issue but no one seems to bother to fix it at MS.
