Mail inbox

My iPhone 13 mini shows two inboxes. One is greyed out (old problem). Some messages go in to they inbox and I cannot view them. Also sometimes I open the mail App and I can view messages but when I go to another mailbox and return they are not there. The only way to view them again is to close the App and reopen it.


Any help appreciated

Remove your email account and set it up again

Make sure that all of your emails are there or make sure that your email is saved somewhere other than your device. On your device, go to Settings > Mail, then tap Accounts. Tap the email account that you want to remove. Tap Delete Account.

  1. Is this your corporate iPhone? Then please contact the system administrator of your corporate
  2. If it is your personal device, in that case, do you have any profile installed by your corporate/organisation/enterprise/School Management?
    1. Erase the profile added by you If you have installed a profile on your own --> Install or remove configuration profiles on iPhone - Apple ...
    2. Or please contact the system administrator of the organisation who provided the profile to you

It would be better if you can please re-post with a screenshot, in order to understand the phenomenon better. Images/pictures speak louder than words.

Thank you for your advice and time.

The account has been deleted 3 times now. It does sync with my PC running outlook 2013. I am cleaning they up and logged in to the mail online to see if I can do anything there.


For sure something is weird with this iPhone (for whatever reason).


when I open mail it defaults to the inbox. Sometimes when I go to view another mailbox and then return to the inbox all the mail has gone! The only way I can view it is to close mail and reopen it. Then the messages are showing again
