What is causing email to download so slowly that it has virtually stopped since updating to iOS 15?
iPhone SE
The fix for me was disabling Protect Mail Activity. Settings/Mail/Privacy Protection/ and turn off Protect Mail Activity and Hide IP address. Now checking Mail in the app works as fast as it did in ios14.
When I updated to Ios15 one of the options I remember getting prompted for was more privacy around Mail so I said yes. It works so well apparently you can’t check or send gmail accounts in a reasonable time frame with the iOS mail app.
I tried most of the other things in this thread before hand and nothing worked. Try turning off that new feature for now and see if things start working better.
I am new to all this and a little baffled as to why there is still no response from Apple. Does anyone know why this is ?
Check what your interval for fetching email is
Settings -> Mail -> Accounts -> Fetch New Data
I tried everything and mail is still slow. At this point, I'm hoping that iOS16 will fix some of these problems. Until then, I continue to use the gmail app.
After a few days slow Apple mail has returned!
There is definitely something strange going on. After turning my iPad completely off and back on again Apple mail is working fine again BUT for how long?
I am also going to pursue a new operator. Bitterly disappointed after many years patronage.
Tried it on my iPhone 13 and iPad Air3 and did not work. Tried all the other fixes as well !
Sorry this didn't work for you. I should have mentioned that this worked for me on an iPhone 11.
Made mine faster for a bit, got excited, then slows down again after 15-20 emails. This issue is firmly a Apple problem I’m sure they can easily replicate and fault find..
Unfortunately, this did not work for me (iPhone 12 Pro Max, OS 15.5).
Doesn’t work for me…iPhone 12 Pro Max, OS 15.5
At this point, I'm hoping that the new iOS16 will solve this problem. Apple is definitely NOT listening to any of the complaints.
Done that - No Help
Disabling a feature is not a fix. It’s a workaround.
Problems persist on all devices since iOS 15 . In my opinion Apple should prioritise fixing bugs over introducing more useless features.
Can you tell us how you fixed yours? With kjterallybthiusandsnifboeolel complaining about this, why wouldn’t Apple send out a broad announcement in how to do it rather than have each of us call ?
