I can't mark emails and texts to delegate them!

I just started having this frustrating problem!

When ever I have a few emails that I want to delete, I have to do them one by one!

When I click Edit and mark the emails I want to delete, they automatically unmarked themselves! The same thing happened with text messages but not photos


Any idea what might be causing this?


Btw, iPhone 5s and up to date with my soft wear...

iPhone 5, iOS 6

Hey omsaj,


I posted the below in another thread (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5452367?answerId=24670895022#24670895022) but just found yours, which is more recent. I have same problem. The fix in the other thread was to do a factory reinstall -- really not something I want to do.

Hey folks,


I cannot find a more recent thread discussing this issue, but I am having the same problem in both Mail and Messages App in version iOS 7.0.4. It began about 3 days ago; I don’t recall doing anything out of the ordinary.


Here is 30 second YouTube vid of issue. I couldn’t embed in my reply. http://youtu.be/bNw_JsXkO4Q



Put simply, when selecting one or more Mail or Messages items iOS automatically deselects them in a second. Also battery life is now nonexistent—phone now goes from 100% to 0% in about five hours.


Deleting all email accounts and adding back did not fix, nor did Home + Power button reboot.


In another thread it was mentioned that a Factory Reset (complete erase and set up as new phone) worked (see here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5358539?answerId=23165916022#23165916022) I REALLY need to avoid this option.



Any other thoughts would be very much appreciated.


Best , JJ
