Problems with mail in iOS 9

I Have the same problem on my iPad Air. We need help. Seems ios9 is giving a lot of problems.

I have the same problem. After upgrading my iPad 1 to iOS 9, I noticed all old emails with attachments in my POP accounts only (MAP accounts are fine) say, "Message has not been been downloaded from the server." There is no additional link provided with which to download them in the window. Looks like a bug. Hope there is a way to recover them in a future patch, as I have a lot of older saved POP emails.

I have also the same problem. I have now installed 9.0.1 - still the same problem!!

I've the same problem in both devices, iPhone 6 64Gb and iPad2 mini. After deleted the pop account (in iOS 9) and re create it, with same parameters, it worked fine for some days, until today when I've updated to 9.0.1 my mail with an attachment are empty.... I'm very concerned about that. No other solutions at the moment, I'll re delete the POP account and re create it on both device, very boring... Hoping Apple fix that soon!!!!!

Hi

I'm using ios9.1b2 without problems with Gmail and Aruba. Which mail providers are you using? Could be a mail provider problem?

I can no longer open Word attachments with my iPad, although I have a Word app, ever since I updated to iOS 9.

Is there any support from Apple re their IOS updates? Tried getting support but was told that my device no longer had a support agreement. The problem is the update, not the device!

I ave this problem too. What a disaster. Hope Apple get it fixed super quick

CCheck your sent emails too. You may find some of is are missing too.

My email is set up as a POP account. I have temporarily resolved the problem of no email contents on my iPhone for new messages only. I set my account to NOT delete emails on the server (unless I delete them on my main computer.) In my arrangement, this is a setting on my computer, not my iPhone/iPad. This is a kludge, but at least it lets me see my email contents and attachments on my iPhone and iPad. IOS 9 on the iPhone seems depend on looking back at the server when you open the email message on the iPhone/iPad. Seems like iOS 9 does not understand how POP is supposed to work. Apple needs to fix this! Sigh...

All,

I have the same issue. I have identified at least 4 other separate threads on the apple forums as well as numerous threads on other forums. I will attempt to précis them here and also provide links so you can read through my sources yourselves. Note there is, as always, a significant amount of duff information, guessing and questionable fact obscuring the useful evidence.

1. this issue only appears to be affecting people with email accounts setup for pop/smtp.

2. Following upgrade to iOS 9 / iOS 9.01 and possibly the 9.1 beta as well, email content is removed from the iOS device resulting in a sudden decrease in the storage required for the mail app.

3. Emails that may have been present on the device for many months and accessed multiple times in both the inbox and sent items will replaced with a header information (similar to a IMAP case prior to download) but the body will be replaced with the statement: This message has not been downloaded from the server.

4. Deleting the account and setting it up again from scratch does not solve the issue and will result in the loss of all the email placeholders - further increasing your loss of knowledge.

5. Switching the account to IMAP if you go for a delete and re-setup will also result in the loss of all the email placeholders but will 'probably' solve the problem (within the limitations of IMAP) for future emails.

6. this affects all iOS devices - iPads (all gens on iOS 9) iPhones (all gens on iOS 9)

7. This affects you irrespective of you country, internet provider or email provider - the discriminator is the use of pop/smtp.

8. pop/smtp is not legacy or backward compared to imap it is just different. We use pop/smtp for 3 reasons: we don't want emails left on the server where a questionably secure environment could be compromised; our family want the ability to all download the same email to multiple devices without affecting each others ability to do so; we want one master device (the main iMac) to be the deleting device that holds the archive of all emails (right now we are very pleased we have this as all the iOS device are scorched earth right now).

9. Some emails appear unaffected - I cannot identify any rhyme or reason to this. Old, new, addressee, - there doesn't seem to be a pattern. Can't say for certain but it seems that more are being affected as time goes on. If you are affected and you have the only copy of an email currently and you are going to need it again.....get it somewhere else ASAP!!!

10. This thread and forum is just for sharing knowledge between users. If this has affected you then you need to fill in the apple feedback page with your confirmed symptoms and the impact if you want anything to be done. Follow this link and do it now or apple pop users remain without a fix! I recommend do one for each type of iOS device you have affected and the mail app itself.

IT would also appear that any signatures you have set up no longer work if you reply to an email.

I have a business email on mine and need to publish the business disclaimer on every email sent never had a problem before the update.

You have summarised the exact same problems I am having. Like everyone else I need a solution now.

I may have the fIx. This was with the help of a Cox technician. I deleted the pop account I had, and re-created the account. In the process I discovered that Apple iOS 9 no longer offers the option of a pop account; only an IMAP account. The IMAP account will not function in the way that I would like. So the Cox technician showed me a trick that he used for Yosemite but was not sure wold work for the iPad. But it did. The trick is when you create a new (IMAP) account give it an incorrect gibberish username and password. Then it tells you that that information is not correct and when you are given the chance to fix it you now have the option of selecting a pop account. So far today, it's working. And as a matter of fact I got back the emails that got deleted when I deleted the account. Or at least most of them. I'm a little concerned about posting this on this community, because if Apple eliminated the pop account option they may plug this hole if they know it's there. Good luck to all!
