Email issues after updating to iOS 18.1.1 on iphone 14 and ipad air 5th gen:


  • no syncing between devices; f.i. deleted mails on ipad are not deleted on iphone and vv.
  • no threading anymore
  • @icloud sent folder on ipad doesn't show mails sent since update
  • icloud sent folder on iphone lists previews, but these 'cannot be displayed because the way it is formatted'
  • junk folder from second account disappeared on iphone ( not on ipad)


I tried a few 'fixes' as mentioned in several posts, but nothing helps

Back to iOS 17.x is not (easily) possible


so.... waiting for Apple's fix.....

I got a similar problem on iOS 18.1.1. Mails are sometimes not loading, but the bigger problem is that when I delete or read mails on my mac, my iPhone is not updating the state of the mail to read and does not remove deleted mails.

It worked without problem on iOS17. I completely removed the account and installed it again. The settings are all double-checked. The account works without problems on macOS Sequoia.

Is there a reason you aren’t allowing it to push to your device automatically?


I would suggest changing the fetch to Automatically instead of a times increment and see if you have the same experience with fetch issues.


I also import my other email accounts through my iCloud account to use push with them as they can only fetch. Have you tried that?


If you use iCloud mail go to settings > user icon at the top > iCloud > mail > import messages


You can set up yahoo to import into iCloud there.

Did you read the bottom part too?

“Your iPhone will fetch new data in the background only when on power and Wi-Fi”

Ok my issue is resolved! After trying all the “delete mail app”, “delete mail account”, add the “/“, and other supposed remedies, it turns out to be something much more simple! Just go into the folders view of the mail app and click on “Edit” in the upper right corner then click on “Add Mailbox” at the bottom of your mailbox list and you will find all your subfolders. You have to click on each and every one for each mail account and then click done. Next, force close the app (swipe up). Then just be patient and let everything load. It took me about 30 mins and now all my subfolders are back!
