iphone 4 Mail messages (no sender) no subject

I just scroll down to the bottom and hit the "load more messages" button. That seems to get rid of the offending messages.........for a while.

Hi

I am also having this probnlem with IOS4. One work around is to turn threaded messages off under mail settings when you get a No sender, No subject email. Go back to your inbox and the emails reveal themselves. Not ideal but works until Apple push out a fix.

I am having the same problem with the new iPhone 4 and my mobileme/mac email. Did not have the problem yesterday. But, this morning, starting to receive the "No message No sender" emails that cannot be deleted. Not a huge deal, but bothersome all the same. Especially since it's starting to occur about 16 hours after activation.

Same issues here, along with the following:

- Mail will show unread messages when there are none
- Mail will not get all gmail messages on occasion

I have tried pretty much everything I can think of, including a full phone restore and the issue keeps creeping back over time. Even tried turning off threading to see if that would help, but no dice. Went poking around the gmail forums and it looks like maybe they have acknowledged the issue and are looking for a fix, but that was back on the 21st.

Same problem, comes and goes frequently.

me too. it is very frustrating. I deleted and created my mail account over and over but every time after a short time I start receiving no sender no subject dated 1960 or something which I cannot do anything about them. why is that and how can we solve the problem?

I am having this same issue when I delete an email out of my gmail account on the web then go to sync on my iPhone4. The deleted email turns to one of these "(No Sender) on 12/31/69" things.

same here, iphone4 has 8 (so far) duplicated no sender emails all dated 01/01/1970, can't delete them. Also i have upgraded my iphone3g to os4 and i do not have this problem, however i have not synced my iphone 3g to itunes since getting iphone 4.

update. just checked my webmail and my mac mail and these emails are nowhere to be found, so i guess it is handset/firmware specific.

Me, too. 12/31/69. The reboot seems to have worked. Thanks!

Same - seven messages like this 12/31/69 and 01/01/00

A restart of the phone cleared them away. Phantom e-mails seem to be iOS 4 related from the buzz on the interwebs.

Running:
iOS4 iPhone 4
gmail IMAP protocol

Man these were like multiplying and I had to search the web and come here to find out about this.

Amazing the reboot just made them vanish. Problem gone. Thanks folks!

My wife's 3GS has the same issue, plus constant dialogs about the email account already being accessed on another phone.

Rebooting the phone also worked for me. Interestingly, the two messages were still there, but now they showed sender and content... and one was from Apple! (Since they were now "real", I was able to delete them).

I have had this problem and today got a series of 4 "no sender" messages that I cannot delete. Initially they are in the unread message count but eventually they disappear only to come back a few hours later. Very frustrating - I hope they fix it soon. Slightly odd in that it happens on my iPhone 4 but I have another 3GS updated with iOS4 and the problem does not occur.
