Post IOS 17.2.1 Update - Email Not Working

Post the 17.2.1 IOS update last night 13/01/24, I do not have any emails cached since the 06/01/24. I have also tried to send a test email and so far it hasn’t arrived - so it looks like this IOS update has really messed up my email! Anyone aware if Apple have a resolution to this! Thanks

iPhone 12, iOS 17

My email inbox has just gone blank, not even able to access the email accounts.

I started having difficulties with this on 5 May. Five weeks later I have fixed it.


I had those multiple reminders to update my email password, which took me on endless loops, confirming etc and then being asked to do it again.


Anyway, I tried it again today - it took about three goes but re-entering the password for the email account that had just stopped sending/receiving finally worked for me.


So - settings > mail > accounts


and then select the email account that is not working. It will be greyed out. And then go through its update/add your password etc details. And be prepared to do it several times. Good luck!

None of the support recommendations worked. My case may be an outlier but here's what happened.


I had added a "~"in front my folder name hoping it would move to the top alphabetically. Didn't work and I forgot about it. After trying everything more than once I removed that the "~" and the folder updated. What???? The programmer in me thinks that this is an undocumented programmer debug flag to test something. It should be removed.
