Is Mail finally fixed in iOS26?

[Pagemakers]

Since updating to iOS 18, Mail has been fundamentally broken for me—and from what I’ve seen, I’m not alone.

Whenever I try to view older emails, the content takes an age to load, and the only reliable workaround is to force close and reopen the app. Reinstalling Mail hasn’t helped, and the issue persists across all my iOS and iPadOS devices.

Has this finally been addressed in iOS 26?

what kind of mail accounts are you referring to?

I have my own server. They are standard IMAP accounts and for the past 10+ years everything has worked fine until iOS18. The only system change has been iOS.

Apple Mail is engineered for iCloud Mail. I recommend you switch to that. iCloud Domain hosting works really well with full DKIM and DMARC support. Put your email domains on iCloud and you'll enjoy a seamless email experience across all your devices.

Until iOS18 my mail worked flawlessly since my very first iPhone almost 20 years ago.

Mail still works flawlessly with iCloud Mail.

Yes, but an email client is supposed to correctly support standard protocols and not just proprietary integrations.
