All my emails disappeared after updating my iPhone

Yes! Same happened to me as well. All most all of my flagged important emails are gone…somewhere and I’ve tried all the tips from everywhere. Plus with the update you can’t even restore data via iCloud on your computer. It does *** very badly

Most current email accounts are IMAP accounts, and they reside on your email provider's server. All they do is sync to your iPhone. Make sure your mail accounts are still present and turned on. The act of updating iOS would not make mail disappear. You also have the option of deleting the account on the iPhone and adding it back again. That should bring your mail back.

This just happened to me but had nothing to do with an update. Every read email across my yahoo, outlook and gmail accounts served through the Apple Mail app, from July 25th 2024 to August of 2030 is GONE.

I spent about 20 minutes on the phone with yahoo. Who blamed Apple. Unable to recover any of them.

I spent an hour on the phone with Apple. We realized it was across all accounts. Even my daughter’s account that I monitor since she’s a minor. They said they can’t recover them.

I'm devastated. I just assumed paying for cloud storage meant stuff was safely saved in the cloud.

What exactly did you try? If you watched them disappear, then it sounds like something else. The deleting of the mail accounts and then reinstalling them should have worked.

If you have a backup of your iPhone that was made before you installed the iOS update, try restoring to that backup. Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support

All of the emails for my Gmail account on my iPhone, iPad and MacBook that were residing in my inbox, ones with attachments, all of which I had opened and read and decided to keep in my inbox, are gone. How do I get them back? This occurred with the latest Apple update on April 9/10.

I had the same thing happen after setting up my new I pad air. All my emails were gone in all my email accounts, which were both some old AOL and gmail accounts. Spoke to apple support and they insisted that it was a server error with the email providers. Hard to believe both AOL and gmail servers went down at exactly the same time. The only common denominator was that this happened right after I set up my new Ipad. The representative insisted that he had never heard of both going our at the same time. Maybe he should have googled it.

All advice is futile here - whatever is suggested NEEDS the MAIL TAB in settings that has vanished after i upgraded to ios 18 on a iph 14. How do i get this back? Adding the mail app from app lib does not work - it simply opens mail - cannot access all mail accts from here and check settings

The same thing happened to me after upgrading to iphone 14 and then an update.

have you been able to fix?

I don’t see any other remedies
