I don’t understand why Apple has so much trouble with the mail app. Like it usually takes more than a minute to update the inbox. It’s so slow. The mail app in iOS 6-5 used to be flawless. What happened? It’s a simple email client ffs
Got a tip for us?

Mail has been such a disaster since adding categories
Same error here, using my MacBook to check my email like an animal.
Apple Mail app has been horribly inconsistent for me over the years and man, I feel like it’s gotten worse over the past year. It’s incredibly frustrating.
Funny thing… it started happening hardcore today. I’ve been on the latest beta since it was released.
I would like to see my previously downloaded mail when it’s fetching new mail please.

I need to see a thread about Safari “there was a problem with this webpage” and it reloads.
When is Tim Cook going to answer for this nonstop stream of issues out of the software department? There’s always going to be an issue or two here and there but this is ridiculous
I’ve been saying that 18.5 is unusably buggy and am being ridiculed for it. Nope, nothing is never Apples fault here at MacRumors and their software is FLAWLESS
Can confirm, 18.5 on iPhone 13 mini, same issue here. Only a power-cycle temporarily fixes the issue.
WOW. The most comprehensive "fix it" post I've ever seen. Thanks so much.
Happening for the last two days on my freshly restored iPhone 13. Glad it’s not a local hardware issue. Thanks to Macrumors for reporting it to Apple as well.
Noticed a lot of "maild" (guessing mail daemon) logs in Analytics Data for the past two days with bug type "309", anyone else?
I have not used Apple's Mail program on any platform in decades. I do use their mail servers. Mail has had issues so long that I do not remember when I started with third party email.
Currently use Spark for more years than I can count. It works just fine on my iPhone 16 Pro Max, my iPad mini and iPad M4, as well as my M1 Ultra Mac Studio, two M4 Pro mini, M4 MacBook Air and M4 Max 16" MacBook Pro. All devices have the maximum memory and or storage available at time of purchase.
Just wondering if just the minimum memory devices are having these issues or is it across the memory capacity spectrum?

I still don’t understand how tiny companies with a minuscule fraction of Apple’s budget (Proton, for example) can pull it, while Apple can’t get it right from the start.
This is why I don't have automatic updates on. Gotta wait for the x.x.1 at least lol.
I can't even remember when i stopped Apple's default email app both on my mac and my iphone. That app is very "unApple" compared to other default apps. Its slow to load emails, dark mode is not fully implemented in the app, generally it's a bad app. I use outlook on both my mac and iPhone. is way better
If the Mail app on your iPhone is not working lately, you are not alone.
A growing number of iPhone users are seeing a blank screen in the Mail app, according to comments posted across the MacRumors Forums, Reddit, Apple Support Community, and other online discussion platforms. Affected users are unable to view any emails in their inboxes, and the app can also become glitchy and unresponsive.
The issue does not appear to be tied to any specific iPhone model, and the underlying cause is unknown. Most if not all affected users said their iPhones were running iOS 18.5, but it is unclear why online discussion about this issue only started to gain traction within the past few days, given that the update was released more than three weeks ago.
Affected users said restarting their iPhones temporarily solves the issue, but a permanent solution has yet to be identified. MacRumors has emailed Apple about the matter, and we will update this story if and when the company responds to the inquiry.
The issue is not reflected on Apple's system status page as of writing.
Thanks, Steve Ryan!

Me too, restart had no effect, forced restart seems to have fixed it.
What I don’t get is why we all got hit today, it’s not as if we all updated today.
