Mailboxes disappeared ios 7

How nice. If I wanted to restart every app and the device every time I wanted to use it, I would have a Windows device.

Well, I do agree. But at least I didn't have to pay Apple support to learn how to fix it.

If this fixed it, I would agree. This is a workaround that I need to employ every time the problem surfaces. About once today.

It also occasionally loses the other config about email. I used the edit button to put them in a certain order. Occasionally they go back to some default order. Occasionally they all disappear. It happened yesterday on my wife's iPad.

I wonder if the mail app config data is stored in iCloud and if it has any trouble with that (which seems constant for other things too) then it defaults to the initial config screen. Hard stop and try again, it is able to access iCloud, and all is well again (until next time).

Yeah, my iPhone 4s was great before iOS7. But now I wonder why would I upgrade to iPhone 5s instead of any Android or Windows device??? I am sure I can get similar low quality at a lower price.

Resatrt the phone.

Go to the Mail. Click EDIT on top right corner. check the "All inboxes" button.

Thanks for the suggestion but this does not address the problem that I am having. In Settings all of the mailboxes and calendars and contacts are in place. When I enter the mail app, it acts as if none of the accounts were ever defined so there no inboxes to select.

I had exactly this problem this morning, first time it happened since installing ios7 last September.

I went to settings - Mail, Contacts, Calendars - then clicked on mail account that did not appear in the mail app, it opened, I then hit 'Done' and came out of settings and back into the mail app and the account had returned!

I must say that I am disappointed that Apple have not made any comments in the thread (as far as I can see). But then Apple has been consistent in letting us down since ios5

I got an iPad Mini at Christmas and it has been on pretty much ever since. I have iOS7 and four email accounts set up and this week the Mini lost all account information. I was using Mail when I put it down, and when I woke it up the inbox was gone. I quit Mail and restarted it and it gave me the Mail setup screen, as if I had not yet set up any accounts. i went to Settings and it showed all my accounts still there. the IT Crowd solution "have you tried switching it off and back on again? " worked.

Count me in as well. Has happened 4-5 times since the day iOS 7 was installed on my 4S. I have been losing interest in Apple since the release of iOS 7 and now Mavericks. Their quality assurance has certainly taken a step back. Please just let me go back to iOS 6!

Ever since updating my wife's 4s to iOS 7, this problem started appearing. I've noticed it mostly when trying to email a photo. You click on the Send icon, select Email, and you get the dialog for setting-up a new email account.

Going into Settings and turning on/off anything seems to re-set everything and email works again. But, this is something that really shouldn't be happening in the first place.

I can't believe they haven't fixed this bug yet. So annoying! Killing mail from the task manager is the quickest way I've seen to restore all mailboxes.

While in the Mail app, click on the "Edit" button in the upper-right corner. This allows you to re-add the Inbox folder to your folder list.

Thanks! That worked!

Nice one mate - definitely was the problem for me - must have changed the settings in my pocket or something. Cheers!

To get the mail icon back on your iphone follow these steps:

Restarting the Phone did not work for me.

• Settings
• (Bottom of screen) Reset Home Screen Layout
• DONE!
