Q: iPhone 4 mail download progress indicator appears stuck

The progress indicator "downloading 3 of 3" at the bottom of the "All Mailboxes" mail screen has shown the same status for days now. Mail is coming and going fine and reflects the proper info as mail is sending or receiving, but once it is done it reverts back to a message that says "downloading 14 of 14".

An annoyance more than anything, but wanted to know if anyone knows a way to fix it or if it is a known bug that is slated to be resolved in an update.

Thanks!

I have a screenshot I would provide but apparently that is not an option here.

iPhone 4, iOS 4

Same problem here. I'm using outlook integration, plus a POP account, plus a gmail account and gettin' the same annoying status message. Rebooting the phone doesn't seem to help.

Same issue. For what it's worth, I'm running 4 e-mail accounts: 1 Exchange, 1 MobileMe, 1 Gmail (configured as exchange for push), and 1 POP. Mine says downloading 1 of 1 everytime I'm at the main mail screen. I can't figure out what account or folder it's associated with either.

Yup, I've got the same problem: <Downloading 1 of 1> message constantly displayed. It started after I downloaded the second update to the OS.

Same problem here after the latest iOS update. Continually displays "Downloading 1 of 1" even though nothing is downloading. I have several email accounts set up, and when I go into each individually they show nothing downloading; this only happens under "All Mailboxes"

Have the same issue. Am wondering if it has something to do with attachments (e.g., re-downloading them) or just a server sync issue. Annoying more than anything else, as mail seems to come and go just fine. Since I have multiple email accounts, I deleted all of the mail in the POP accounts. That just leaves MobileMe....

Yes the same problem for me, more an annoyance than anything else the 'Mailboxes' view of all mailboxes continually states 'downloading 1 of 1'. Any thoughts

Mine is gone, but I don't know why.
Two things I have done recently:
- Turn the iPhone completely off
- Synchronize with iTunes

Cheers,
Jan

Dang, I thought I was the only one having this issue. It's very annoying. I've only had this problem with the most recent version of iOS4. Hopefully they fix this soon..

It went away on mine. I had recently synched with iTunes but I can't say that that was what made the difference. Seems to me we need something from Apple acknowledging the issue and providing an ETA for when it will get fixed.

I solved this by power cycling the phone.
