A few things you can try


Double tap the home button and flick the preview for mail up and off the screen to force close the app. Single tap the home button or on the home page preview to exit the mode.


Force your iPad to reboot. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver Apple, let go and let it reboot and see if you can open your mail.


Go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars, delete your e-mail account info and re-enter the information and see if it will open.

I had this problem tonight. It apparently was caused by a phishing email associated with the phone number

844-423-2466. Here's how I *finally* solved the problem: I pushed the home button twice to see the open applications. There was an email in the "compose" stage and instead of swiping upward to close it, I tapped to bring it to the full screen. The 844 number was in the "cc" line, and there was no address in the "to" line. I added an email address in the "to" line (an old email that is still active but I rarely use anymore), and deleted the 844 number from the "cc" line. Then I sent the email. That apparently reset the "queue" ... and my mail was back to normal!


I hope this explanation makes sense and it fixes your problem!
