All due respect. Realizing how important our email is and all other app features we depend upon and resulting frustration will be no doubt. If I may... Apple is great but no one is perfect. assuming they should be perfect and without flaws or faults just isn't realistic, or true. Blaming Apple because of what some fans say, isn't fair. You're blaming Apple for based on 3rd party comments when you can't verify, qualify or vet those saying the comments to which you refer. You really can't blame the target (Apple) for things they didn't say or promise. Doing so only frustrates you more and spreads hearsay comments that Apple had nothing to do with. Please consider limiting your comments about Apple to things Apple has stated or promised? You'll do yourself, Apple users in general, and Apple good instead of spreading potentially non-factual, non-attributable comments that do nothing to define the problem so Apple CAN address and hopeful fix it. Or if a user issue or setting, helping those reading here a chance to reach out and try to help you. After all that is the basis of Discussions.
chiming I to an existing thread to say you have an issue too, does help a bit to quantify the penetration of the proble, But better would be to offer more diagnostic info to help all concerned see deeper into the issue to understand and find and fix the cause. But to just say "me too!" doesn't help anyone help you in a nuts n bolts kinda way. Make sense?
the Devil is most certainly in the details, which are needed to best help. The same problem may present and act differently on your environment than a different one (diff OS or iOS, diff computer or device, etc.).
So... Best way to assist others who meant to help you, is to logical detail the issue(s), include version #s, anything you did that might be the problem cause like the problem started after you upgraded, or added a new app on your device or application to your computer, etc.
and importantly, Click Contact Us in the lower right corner to fill out the appropriate Feedback form, which goes directly to Apple AND THEY READ AND THEY LISTEN. Feedback Forms are probably more helpful than fully detailing a problem issue here in Discussions.certainly an abbreviated mention here would be helpful to allow other users know they are not alone and if you've got reliable fix data all the better! OR, if you get fix data after posting yo Apple or calling in if you have ApplCare or are still under warranty, all the more helpful and constructive.
CtLove, as you can surely see, I'm not just singling you out here, I'm writing a n "open post" to all of us that while super frustrated, get a bit of relief by post that we're frustrated, but not really moving the balled closer to the goal line and at the end of the day just venting helping ourselves and not helping solve the issue.
We need your (and everyone's) observations and constructive ideas, suggestions to help all concerned see the problem(s) as you are so we might be able to recreate them. When we can, then fixes can happen. At least easier and faster anyway. And all of a sudden, you're part of the solution, really, and venting gives way to constructive criticism and its no longer you vs Apple, but you along with Apple and others like you. And Discussions has served its intended purpose to be a common area where we get to voice concerns, issues, help illuminate potential problems and solutions.
And with that, the more you participat, the more you'll experience being part of the collective solution and see first hand why some of those "evangelists" love Apple as they do, and possibly see why, even though not perfect, how and why Apple is great at aspiring to be And you get to add your input into the process. Creating new life-changing products and services, by design can't be perfect. At best it's a goal. and we need your input, help, understanding, which will transform any frustration to understanding that you're part of a much larger active "work in progress."
Thanks for listening AND participating!
Best,
Steven
