iOS5 Mail crashing

IOS 5 is not a mature OS the best way to get rid of the IOS 5.x it has so many bugs and crashes... best is downgrading back to 4.3.x (the most stable version was 4.3.2 we need to stay there!!!

We all need to ask apple to restore the signatures to old IOS versions antill IOS5 will be more stable...

I am having the exact same problem on iphone 4s ios 5.0.1. i open mail, whether from lockscreen notification, or home screen. takes at least 20-30 sec to load, if it even loads without crashing. sometimes it will indicate loading, then freeze, then crash...or just open to a blank screen, then crash. i often see the preview text in notifications, but then when i go to it, its a crapshoot as to which of the array of behaviors will follow. there are , of course, some instances where it behave as it should, being as snappy as the rest of the apps. All of my battery life woes have been remedied with this update, but mail problem goes back to 5.0 also. i have tried rebooting, restoring, and the trip to apple store to trade in (hooray for apple care!) any other similar grief/possible solutions out there? Thanks!

Same Here. IPhone 4S. on 5.0.1

1. Mail App Crashes Often.

2. Some Time No Push Email so need to Kill the Mail App and Push Email Flows.

3. Some Time Voice Quality was very Bad, I can hear other End but they can not hear me ( Voice Breaking ).

4. Need to Restart the IPhone then it's ok for Some Time.

IOS5 has endless amount of bugs...

I think Steve Jobs predict it and left away....

This symptom by the way was the begining of Nokia buckling - endless ammount of bugs on their great phones...

I wish i could go back with my version back it was haven...

Please pring back the old versions signatures - we will do the rest...

If Steve Jobs Predict that IOS have endless bug. he would have passed away when the First Gen IPhone / IOS released.

lets wait and see for the Next Update. I am happy that atlease Apple is working on the Fix and admited that there is problem.

The iphone4 is my first apple product. ios4 worked fine with no issues. Upgrade to ios5 and I have the email crashing issue. I got a brand new phone, set it up as a new phone and I still have the email crash issue. I went with apple because it worked. Very frustrating!!

An update: Over the last two days it has been reality stable. I can get about half a days worth of e-mail (over all) across all acounts, then it starts craching. To me, it seems that there is an issue with an individual message, from my imap account, which is being downloaded. However, I have not been able to pinpoint the source.

Hopefully the next update address this.

I can honestly say, that I have tried and tried several things to pinpoint a reason to why the mail crashes all the time. I never had this problem on ios 4.xx, it came instantly when I upgraded to ios 5. I have it both on the iPad Gen1 and on the iPhone4.

It crashes in the middle or the end of the message, totally random. It crashes wether it is a reply from Lotus Domino/Notes, MS Exchange, Blackberry, Androids, Symbian etc.

Some times it crashes directly when I open the mailapplication. I have also noted that sometimes when I open some other app it craches, almost like it bounce back.

This is not only annoying but also it have a big impact on how I manage my work. The meaning with a smartphone is that you use it as a small computer and amongst other things read and write emails. Now I tend to take my laptop with me everywhere just to write emails.

Does anyone know if it is possible to turn back to iOS 4.xx???? For me its fine until iOS5 is fixed. Thanks!

I just updated both my 1st Gen Ipad and IPhone 4 with IOS5.0.1. What a mistake that was! I should have read these thread first.

No problem in receiving emails, but both devices crashed when tried to reply. Is there a way to restore back to previous OS?

After 6 weeks, problem solved. As it turns out, there was some kind of incompatibility between the new mail software in iOS 5 and the hosting company I was using for my mail. I switched to a different provider, and mail no longer crashes. I was sorry to leave them after 7+ years, and I know it was the fault of a bug in iOS 5, but there was no other way I could solve the problem other than switching back to my old phone or switching to Android, neither of which appealed to me much. For the record, the company I was using was Newtek a.k.a. Crystaltech a.k.a The Small Business Authority. I wish the rest of you the best of luck!

I wish I can find a solution ... it is so frustrating to type several lines and all of a sudden email crashes. This is my first iphone (4s) and the problem was on IOS 5 and 5.01. Ughh

Has anyone reading these post heard any news on how close Apple is to providing a fix?? Not knowing anything just continues to make me more and more ******. I know Apple is typically very tight lipped but *** - their product is failing.

This can't be the case. I two uniquely different ISPs and my email is crashing all the time on iOS5 on iPhone 4Sand iPad.

@Applebonkers - I agree. I have two different ISP's and I used one at a time and both. Don't think it makes a difference. Again, I ask, has anyone heard anything from Apple on this issue?????????
