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.
Sorry for that crazy typo. It’s supposed to say “with literally thousands of people…”. (And, I really do mean literally…..if you look at the tally of “I agree” and such…)
Fix it ding ding
I tried everything mentioned and nothing worked. This is frustrating since I need to get in my email often. When will there be a update to fix the problem with the last update?
Just carried out the 15.6 update and expecting the problem to be solved. Alas, nothing changed and email problem still there. So bitterly disappointed with apple.
Turn your phone off/reboot. I updated and my mail loads properly again. Good luck!
I meant after the update, but thanks for being rude.
Not rude just highly suspicious that’s all. Didn’t mean to offend you.
thanks! fixed it for me
Update done, but still have the odd email that takes ages to download ?!?
Updated to iOS 15.6 and it fixed my slow mail problem.
did you disable the privacy settings as mentioned above
I did disable the privacy settings.
Sorry, that worked for me
Just checked and It was off on my iPhone, but still on , on the iPad, so have now got both OFF and will see how it goes.
Thanks 👍
Disabling privacy settings should not be a fix. Ever.
Mail is slow since updating to iOS 15
