iOS 15.4.1 mail not loading on iphone

Same frustrating issue. Emails take a long time to show in the app. I'm just looking at a white screen with arrows on the right waiting for the email headers to populate on the page. Did not have this issue prior to 15.4. iOS 15.4.1 & iPhone 13 Pro

Subsequent to my post, I’ve been on the phone to Apple support (Twitter DM seemed to work) but lovely and patient as the advisors are they were unable to resolve. Final advice seemed to be it’s a Gmail problem, contact them. Which I did to no avail of course. Alternative advice if nothing works was to go back to them to remove 15.4.1 with the warning that it might lose data as well as features. It seems pretty clear to me that it is a 15.4.1 issue that presumably only affects certain setups or everyone would be having the problem, but that Apple haven’t yet identified what it is yet or what the remedy is. I’m assuming by this point that it will be resolved by an update - and not using my iPad for email!

I’ve had the same issue ever since i updated to iOS 15.4.1. Takes almost one full minute for my emails to load. I tried turning off the privacy. I’ve performed a soft reset and still has issues whether on data or wifi. I actually shut it off for half a day and nothing. I have the iPhone Cs Max.

It's not a Gmail problem, it's an Apple problem. I have two completely different providers running IMAP email with the same problem. Mail for these accounts ahas been working reliably since the year dot - on both Apple iPhones / iPads. This problem is since 15.4.1 and (for me) is affecting IMAP (as exchange accounts seem ok). C'mon Apple, what's being done about this?

Thanks, but I've done all that, several times over, and it doesn't work. Plus other fixes suggested by Apple Support on two long phone calls. My wifi is fine otherwise as is my broadband internet provider. My email is Gmail accessed through Mail which was fine previously, and which is still fine on my MacBook. I don't use the Gmail app for privacy reasons. The issue only occurred when I updated to 15.4.1 on my iPhone. It was still ok on my iPad until with some trepidation I updated that to 15.4.1 too, and then the same problem arose the minute I opened Mail. Hence I don't think it's too farfetched to suggest that the update had some role in precipitating it. Meanwhile I have a useless iPad as far as email goes. All suggestions welcome though.

I’ve said this many times and for years that Apple uses these updates with “new features” to build and disable older phones to force a phone upgrade. They start as minor hiccups and gets more annoying as other non-related issues starts to surface. The previous updates screwed with zooming in for the same mail app and Safari.

I have an iPhone 12 Pro, the latest iPad mini, both running the latest iOS and have active me.com and gmail accounts. Please stop trying to pin this on Gmail. This is an Apple problem and it needs to be addressed ASAP.

I cannot buy a new iPhone now therefore I'm still on iPhone7. iOS recently updated to 15.4.1.

I too access email through Mail being two Gmail accounts and one AOL account. I do not use an app for either Gmail or AOL.

I have fought a problem long before the recent update in that one of my Gmail accounts disappeared. The other Gmail account works as it always has and both were added at the same time some years ago. Both work without issue from my PC laptop connected to wi-fi hot spot as well as the AOL account. I have not added nor used any other email than the three mentioned.

When attempting to add the Gmail account that disappeared back via Mail I get this message : "Your browser has cookies disabled. Make sure cookies are enabled and try again."

On my iPhone 7 I use Safari browser and sometimes Firefox. I've used Safari since purchasing the iPhone and added the Firefox app later. I had no issue with the missing Gmail account but now unable to add it back. I've done as the message suggests numerous times to the point I give up, the same fix I have read on Apple website support making sure cookies are enabled on both Safari and Firefox browsers to no avail. I reset the IPhione truning off and back on, reset neetwork settings, all Ii can think to do and check the cookies enabled . Again, the other Gmail account works flawlessly as well as the AOL account having been set up via Mail. Suggestions? Incidentally , I've even enabled cookies on the Firefox browser on my PC thinking something bizarre there has caused the issue. Nope.

To add insult to injury I’m now about to go over my data allowance on my iPhone because I keep having to switch from WiFi to mobile network in order not to spend forever waiting for emails to open. Apple please sort this out!

As an update, I just set up Spark on my iPhone to test, and Gmail is fine on it while still glitching on Mail. Not being tech savvy I’m not sure what this signifies, but I don’t really want to switch from Mail as I have years of email records filed ‘On My Mac’ in the desktop version, since I use email to keep dated notes.

Apple will do nothing to solve older phone issues. All they will say is you need to upgrade your phone. But what they will NEVER do is allow you to downgrade from the previous working iOS so you can continue using an older device.

Well my phone is a 2020 SE. It may be Apple’s ‘budget phone’ (I like it because it fits in my pocket when I’m hiking) but at 2 years old I would assume that recent updates are expected to work on it. And after and hour and a half’s phone conversation with Apple support which didn’t resolve the problem the last advice was to see if it settles down and if not to get back to them on the same ticket and they’ll talk me through removing the update, with the proviso that I will lose data as well as the problematic non-functionality. So far I haven’t taken them up on it but that was the offer.

Using an iPhone 13 Pro + iOS 15.4.1 - this worked for me --

Settings --> Mail --> Privacy Protection --> protect mail activity --> off

Hide IP Address = on

Block all remote content = off

I have not experienced any more mail issues with the above settings.

I have an iPad Pro 11 running 15.4.1 and no matter what changes I make my mail won’t load. Yet I have a 10.5” pro with 15.4.1 and it loads mail no problem! My settings are identical on both iPads. Both on the same Wi-Fi network. So can Apple explain this???

I've temporarily given up on Mail and am using Spark on which Gmail works just fine. I still use Mail on my MacBook to file emails, but Spark to read and respond to them on my iPhone and iPad. Spark is better designed than Mail in some ways, but I'm still kind of hoping that Apple will realise there's a problem even if it doesn't affect everyone, however can't wait for a solution any longer and it's taking up way too much head space.
