The mail app shows only the subject of each email.

All I can see in each email I receive in my Ipad2 is the subject. All the contents are blank. When I go to the server to see the email I found it there correctly. What may be wrong ?

iPad 2, iOS 5.1.1

Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.


Or Quit the app completely and relaunch it. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus ➖ sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Relaunch mail.

I have no idea what that happens but it is a somewhat common occurrence with the mail app. But the reboot, or quitting the app and relaunching always works - at least in every instance that I have seen it happen.


Or maybe a system memory issue, and that's why rebooting or quitting resets things in the mail app. It is nothing major that you should worry about. Chances are that it may never happen again.
