Facing issues in Mail app after iOS 18.1 update on iPhone 13 Pro Max

Hello, Fnœ.

Well, Platypus4, now look at that feedback page:

https://apple.com/feedback

In the iOS/iPadOS section you must choose the app that has issues.

The Mail-app is not even listed!

Just put it under the “iPhone” category, then. I don’t think that Apple will mind.

I have the same issue with the ios 18.1 update. All gmail account subfolders are there, but no aol. I have gone in and deleted and added the mail account several times; forced shut down and restart phone; airplane mode; and even added the "/" in the mail path. Nothing is working!

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.....

Is there any update from Apple regarding this?

I have followed every single possible update/suggestion in this thread and others to retrieve the emails in my IMAP (AOL) account subfolders (which still exist when logged into AOL via web and via PC email client) on my iPhone (12 Mini) mail app to no avail.

I have removed and added the email account in question multiple times,

I have re-entered the password

I have adjusted every !@#$ server setting (including the IMAP Path Prefix),

I have deleted and re-installed the Mail app,

I have used the Add Mailbox function (which is stupidly hard to find)

I have Fetch set to 'Push - Automatically'

The subfolders that are available on my IMAP account do display when using Add Mailbox (so I know that the app is connecting), checking them off causes the folder name to display in the folders list, but no amount of fiddling retrieves any messages that are located in these subfolders.

I've spent hours of my life trying to fix something that should be basic and WORKED PERFECTLY FINE before. And I'm very very frustrated.

If you want help from Apple, you'll need to contact them. You can start with the Support link at the bottom left of every page of this forum.

Similar issue. Mail app not fetching from Yahoo! Account. Fetch set to 15 mins but have to manually fetch each time. And even when mail downloads no alerts/notifictaion. Very frustrating. Apple please fix this issue.

I’m having issues with my iMessage since updating to iOS 18.1. I merged a contact then unmerged it. Now all of my messages to the main contact are gone and are now being found under the contact that was linked to it today, but I never text before

I have an iPad Pro and lost AOL email on 11/5 when I upgraded to 18.1. My iPhone still gets my mail. I tried reentering the password. No joy. Reset the App PW at AOL, no joy. No email on 2 accounts on the iPad and I can't see how to fix. I get a POSIX96 error. Upgraded to 18.1.1. No change

Setting push or fetch has nothing to do with the issues described in several posts.

I tried most of the 'fixes' mentioned, nothing helps, or it even made it worse, like losing my recently sent emails.

This is amazing:

I contacted Apple support and had a nice chat.

I described my issues by copying my post, see above.

I was advised to await an answer from a senior adviser.

By email came the advice: please contact Apple support.

It is closed loops by design!

I have deleted and re added my email account at least 6 times - to no avail! This is very frustrating. At first I was unable to send or receive mail; now I can receive but not send. REALLY? Fix this!!

Another 'issue' discovered:

Mails in trash bin cannot be read anymore. iCloud mail as well as third party mail.

When I open such a mail, this message appears:

"This message cannot be displayed because of the way it is formatted. Ask the sender to send it again using a different format or email program.

multipart/alternative"

...still waiting for Apple's fix...

...feels like waiting for Godot...

Issue with 18.1.1 with Outlook Email. When I open a link in an email and click on a hot link all is good. When I go back to mail from the linked site and swipe right to delete the email, it does not delete, to show the next email. But when I go back to the mailbox the email has been deleted.

18.1.1, updated 3 days ago.

iphone se3. neither iphone nor icloud have space limitations. email is microsoft outlook from my institution.

none of these 'fixes' fix the slow email update problem. if i click on an email to open, it takes minutes to open.

calendar appintments do not update. i have NOT synced contacts on purpose; i have no need for apple to know my institutional contact list (even though they/you probably do).

i *suspect* that a privacy setting is bothering the new demands from ios, but i con't know that.

since i'm not fully committed to the apple ecosystyem, maybe it's time to go android/google?

apple -please provide cogent reply

Hello everyone!

Many of you are angry at Apple about this, but bugs like this (and many even worse) happen to software all the time. I, speaking as a software developer, know that sometimes these issues seem to come out of nowhere.

Also, commenting on here will not help because Apple does not read these posts. This community is simply for fellow Apple users to assist each other. If you want this issue fixed, you must tell Apple directly by simply submitting a bug report on the Apple feedback page.

Thank you all for reading!
