My 3rd party email imap account was not syncing on my iPhone. Specifically emails deleted on iPad or Mac Mini were not flowing through to my iPhone.


MY SOLUTION: Turn off private relay on my iPhone. I suspect hiding my IP address was causing the problem.


I hope this helps.

It's October 15th and I'm running the latest iOS 15.0.1. The Mail app is not working properly. Some emails won't load, and others are not updating my sent emails. I've tried deleting and re-adding my accounts following all the correct steps, but nothing works. I didn't realize this was a known issue for many users. The Mail app is very important, and I really hope Apple is taking this seriously and will fix it soon.

My email will have the red notification showing 12 emails. I click on my email app, then I have to wait for the 12 emails to be downloaded to my phone. Before iOS 18, they were automatically fetched and ready to read once I clicked on the email app. Now it no longer has them ready and I have to wait for them to download from my server.

this issue related not to VPN.

when you able to see connection on server side (and that is possible) but apple-mail not getting ... so not need to say "solved-by-me-as-my-fault-was..." as problem till now is not solved by apple /that related to some models as in between seems was announced / ... here in topic is even IMAP communication log , that show that problem is not connection-related ...

Your shown - is not the same issue when Appe mail shows "rotating Icon" and not show actual mailboxes content ... they are stuck at 2.5 Months and no new messages till now ...


not from icloud, not from google, not from private imap-s ... ALL of them give NO NEW messages accessible in apple-Mail ...



provider inter-syncing and some "dirty"-mitm-actions of apple about ms-servers (mass deletions by archiving was shown everywhere /all possible non-apple devices and on the web/ but stucking for half a day only in apple-devices-all-apps /also in outlook for apple/ that was since approx 2 years ago noted) are not a part of this topic - as that was "slow syncing at least" . here NO SYNC at ALL
