iOS 16.5 mail background activity

[MarcinRSE]

Has any of you experienced the same issue after updating to iOS 16.5? I mean mail app is always working in the background . Almost 6 hours already and it’s early morning where I live. I’ve got the same issue almost after every update but hard restart has worked like magic until iOS 16.5

Same issue here. I lose about 20%-30% each night with Mail constantly running in the background.

I don't think this is unique to 16.5, I've seen this issue quite a few times after an iOS upgrade. To add insult to injury in my case I have never even had any email accounts set up on my iPhone, have never once opened the Mail app, and I have background refresh globally set to off!

In some cases I've found that the Mail background activity stops after a few days, sometimes quite a few days as in more like a week before it stops appearing as an app consuming resources in the Battery settings section. One other time, following a suggestion by someone on this forum (thanks whoever you were!) I did a network reset - which is a lot less dramatic/inconvenient than doing a total factory reset - and that fixed the problem for me on that occasion.

I don't have this issue but try some of the troubleshooting in here. Seems more or less Gmail account related.
