iOS 18, mail app no longer makes move to folder suggestion AGAIN…happened recently in iOS 17 as well

The most useful mail app feature again has been lost during the iOS upgrade. The ability for the mail app to auto suggest a move to folder for your emails. Now you have to either scroll to the folder where you want to move item to or do a search for the folder, which is time consuming especially if you get many similar emails that you want to move to a particular same folder each time.


please apple users contact support to get the engineers to fix their error yet again with this new iOS update.

iPhone SE, iOS 17

Hey, any news Barry Greene. I have been sending files and analytics to my advisor but nothing has been updated. I sent data from iOS 18 device and yesterday sent data frim my non upgraded device to show them how it should work.


this lack of support from the forum users is troubling as if more people do not alert other tech personnel we might be stuck with this issue.


it took almost 3 updates from iOS 15-17 before they finally fixed iBooks to work across its devices like it did pre iOS 13. Under iOS 18 it has even been tweaked to work almost immediately across your devices. Creating a folder on one device immediately appears on all your linked iOS devices, although content update in the folders takes longer.


please let me know if you have gotten any feedback on the mail app issue.

I have hundreds of folders that I use for various work projects. The suggested mailboxes has not worked since the launching of iOS 18. Same thing happened with iOS 17 but that was fixed right after the first or second update. I am still waiting this time around. Very frustrating. I don't think there is any self fix.

Well, the Mail App on the iPhone with this new update has been practically rendered useless. This new update is beyond atrocious,so much so that I’m thinking about switching over to an android and I’ve been a loyal Apple iPhone user since the first roll out of the first iPhone. My fix has been to download the individual apps from say Gmail and yahoo for my different accounts and outlook, and that seems to be sufficient yet cumbersome. I simply cannot believe that this is not been fixed yet. SMH. I know several people already that have switched over to android phones and they’re all urging me to do so as well. Seriously considering it unless Apple can fix this soon. And,

don’t even get me started about now not being able to save off to .pdf. Apple’s just decreased the efficiency of building my business and it’s maddening.

Hello Roy and all others who are reading this. Yup, me too! Running iOS 18.3.1, but will update to 18.3.2 tomorrow 4/8/25.

Losing the ability to have the mail app “suggest” a folder to “move an email to” was a terrific time saver.

To the point, after reading all 4 pages of posts, if you or someone else can give me the URL to use to let the appropriate Apple personnel know what’s going on; I’ll be happy to add my own comments like many of you have suggested we all do.

It seems like there are different Apple sites to use, and some of them no longer give the option to report this category of problem.

Please help me to help us all, let me know which is the best URL to file my input in this known issue.

Thanks to all.
