iPad with 15.3.1 iOS update load e-mails very slowly

Weird that this is so variable.

As I’ve posted before, did the following on my iPhone and it works and has worked for over a month.

Delete your mail accounts (might want to screenshot settings, etc but they seem to come back).

Delete the app.

Reboot the phone/iPad. Be sure this is power off and on!

Reinstall the app.

Reattach accounts.

Did this over a month ago and no issues since. I originally thought it was some port was blocked and the reinstall fixed it but looking at all the cases and the gmail app maybe helping, who knows.

BTW, this is a user forum. Apple does not look at it.

My email account shows blank screen for around minimum of 1 minute before starting to load emails. IOS 15.5. on iPad Pro 12.

My older iPad Mini same iOS opens emails immediately.

What is the reason for the difference in 2 iPads with emails. with both iPads using same iOS 15.5?

I was able to delete the mail app, turn off my ipad, turn it back on, go to the App Store and put the mail app back on. It works perfectly now. Been working about a month so it might have fixed it entirely. Good luck!

If you have your email backed up with iCloud you won’t lose anything. I deleted my three emails and the mail app. Rebooted my iPad, downloaded & installed the mail app, set up my emails one at a time checking them to see if they worked...they all did. It’s been working perfect for the last month since I did all of this. Everything I had in iCloud loaded back in the email.

I have been having the exact same problem with my newish iPad. It’s been so frustrating. I have tried all the suggested fixes but the slow emails have continued. Hopefully there is some way to correct this problem.

We are having the same problem. Click on Mail App and get white screen. Have to wait a minute or 2 or 3 before it comes up, while the wheel in the right corner spins. I restarted the iPad, deleted the mail app and restarted, then reinstalled. Still no good. My next step is delete the mail app, delete all the mail accounts, then restart the iPad, reinstall mail and sign into all mail. Hope this works.

I am unsure if this will help but I know on my iPhone SE I also at times have slow download of email when I open it. I believe mine is due to low memory availability. I usually clear my cache (Settings/Safari/ Scroll down to ‘clear history and website data’, then I double click home button quickly which brings up all open pages and I swipe them up to close them, then restart and then try opening the email again.

Hope it helps, worked for my issue.

Good luck!

I have lots of memory on my iPad, so that is not the issue. The reason why I like my iPad is that I can access my mail quickly. My computer is too slow. In the future, I may rethink buying an iPad if this continues. Samsung makes a great tablet.

One workaround is that I downloaded the Google gmail app which is quick .

However, I only get gmail and I cannot see my outlook mail. I have had 3 iPads in the past, never had this issue.

Apple, get your act together!

You should be able to get your Outlook mail too, if you set it up - I get my talktalk mail as well as gmail through the gmail app

Id be interested to know if your apple Mail works better now it is alongside gmail app - mine does

I didn’t do anything and it’s fixed itself this morning. Don’t know how it works if it’s Apple servers or Google servers dedicated for Apple which are the issue. Whatever it is it’s only happening in my iPhones.

Well, the geniuses at apple strike again. The update to ios 15.6 came out, I installed it, and now mail opens with the screen to set up your accounts. My .mac, all it does is ask me to enter the info over and over, I tried an exchange account that I have, and the program responded that the account already exists. What a complete waste of time. I guess I will call support, but I'm not holding my breath. Maybe apple should change their name to Microsoft. I get better working systems with Linux.

I have this issue also and have followed all steps without resolving the problem. Has Apple any resolution to this problem yet?

Same issue here every time I want to get mail I shut down and it’s fixed until it isn’t which is typically very soon. Help apple.

Same here. Email is so slow loading. Nothing has helped.

Yes, I have this problem as well, tried everything that’s been suggested, but nothing has worked! It’s so darn frustrating!!
