Email app not working after IOS 15.1 update to 5th generation iPad HELP!

Holy moly... can't believe I found it, guys ...

Looks like the update automatically simply switched off the email-app in icloud -

found it in :

• settings --> tap your Name-tag top-left (where it says 'Apple ID, iCloud, Media&... ) --> then tap the iCloud icon --> and there in the list make sure the email-app is turned on green - { all the apps showing in that scrolldown-list - safari, contacts, messages, etc etc... were on green... except for Email ! - turned it on... and schwuppdiwupp... all is happy again }
• hope this works for everyone else, too !!

Same issue with Mail happened to my wife's iPad 8th Get last night after she went from 14.8 to 15.1. I recommend (and I did) the old iOS dope slap. Back it up (unless you have a recent one already), disable Find my iPad, and put it in Recovery Mode while connected to a Mac.

On the Mac choose restore to wipe it and reinstall iPadOS. After it has done that log back into iCloud (really easy if you also have another iOS device like a phone, you just bring the two close together). When the iPad asks if you want to restore from backup answer yes and choose the latest backup.

Give it some time and it should be back up with everything running as it should. You will have to redo Touch ID.

Success at last! I deleted and reinstalled the IOS Mail app for the fourth time -- second time after updating to 15.3 -- and this time, my email finally became visible. My recommendation to everyone on this thread who's still struggling with this is to periodically delete and reinstall the Mail app in the hope of eventually getting it to work.

I have phoned Apple support and they led me through deleting and reinstalling the app and it seems to be working fine now.

Delete and reinstall the app and it may work fine. Otherwise, you need to use 3rd-party apps like Gmail until the next update rolls out.

Hey SMWVIRGO.

We understand you're experiencing an issue with the Mail app. We see that you reviewed this article If you can’t send email on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Since it appears to be an issue with the app itself, we recommend following the steps here: If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open.

Take care.

This may be a bug. You should upgrade to iPadOS 15.3 immediately.

If this doesn’t help you should report this.

I use outlook mail and relying general server , I stopped getting any email after the iOS 15.1 update. I discovered that ios15.1 has a strict email updated setting, outlook is not supported by this update . The solution for me is to find a new email app eg…. Microsoft 365 email was my fix

Hey SMWVIRGO,

Since removing the app and reinstalling it didn't help, we recommend contacting Apple: Get Support

Best wishes.

I’ve had this issue for weeks. I did call Apple support and got no help at all. They told me to reboot it as if I hadn’t thought of that already! The guy I talk to said something about update 15.1.1. So I’m guessing that they’re going to update soon. I just downloaded the Gmail app and I’m accessing my emails through them.

I looked, on I cloud the switch is already green, it didn’t work for me. The email app opens, it shows the accounts, and freezes.

i suggest you send a feedback, report it as a bug. Choose your device, either iphone or ipad. Maybe it will get fixed.

Sorry to hear that as I’ve experienced the same with my parents. Fortunately, hey managed to switch to a different email app.

My mail is also dead on my ipad. I tried every fix under the sun, no is still dead, you can see the mail boxes, but no mail can be seen. Don’t delete the app if you have mail saved on your device. I don’t have Gmail, and mail works in the ipad i didn’t upadte to 15.1 and on the iphone I didn’t update. I recommend you report the problem, maybe they will listen and fix ist

Even though I don’t use iCloud email, turning this on then back off sorted my email connectivity issues with office365.
