Can’t delete emails or receive emails after updating to iOS 16.0.3.

How do I fix the problem of restoring my email accounts to my iPhone 13 pro max. Since the 16.0.3 update I have been completely unable to delete emails or even receive emails.

iPhone 13 Pro Max

Hi Docster52,


If you're unable to manage your emails after updating, try removing the email account and then adding it back to your iPhone.


"Add email accounts

The first time you open the Mail app on your iPhone, you may be asked to set up an email account—just follow the onscreen instructions.

To add additional email accounts, do the following:

  1. Go to Settings  > Mail > Accounts > Add Account.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Tap an email service—for example, iCloud or Microsoft Exchange—then enter your email account information.
    • Tap Other, tap Add Mail Account, then enter your email account information.

Remove email accounts

  1. Go to Settings  > Mail > Accounts.
  2. Tap the email account you want to remove, then do one of the following:
    • If you’re removing an iCloud email account: Tap iCloud, tap iCloud Mail, then turn off “Use on this iPhone.”
  • If you’re removing another email account: Turn off Mail.
    • Note: To remove the email account from all apps on your iPhone, tap Delete Account."


Cheers!
