ios9 problem with virgin email

After ios9 update my emails with attachments won't open and say "message not yet downloaded from server". They were there previously. How do I get them back? I use Virgin email.

iPad Air, iOS 9

check virgin web email is set to imap enabled in settings

delete email account on ipad

set ipad to airplane mode

add email

this gives you option screen for imap or pop3

choose imap

add email details as per virgin website email help settings

mine was imap4 @virgin.net and other detail for incoming and outgoing emails

take off airplane mode so the ipad can look up the settings


it worked after weeks of stress

i got this from a posting from previous years

applecare tried to help but said it was virgin who needed to help

in the end it was the forum and trial and error

good luck
