IOS 10 mail puts messages threads in seemingly random order

I'm still having the issue with the message being all garbled. For example a thread that has several replies back and forth, there's a sentence that i sent randomly placed in the thread as if it's a part of a reply.

Another email with multiple replies back and forth has a reply for today but the 2nd paragraph is from an email several weeks ago randomly placed in the thread. this is a nightmare.

I'd just like to add my voice to this chain. This is a terrible move by Apple. Although I don't have the issue of emails out of order, when clicking on a conversation the next window contains all of the emails open, instead of the list of emails contained in the chain. Once the chain gets long, one has to scroll and scroll to find individual responses. It's confusing and a waste of time. The workaround that some have suggested--hitting the double-arrow in the higher level (or main) list of emails--is definitely a help, but one might expect that when the individual emails in the conversation appear that they would be demarcated to set them apart from the rest of the list, for example by being indented.

iOS 10 mail update on iPhone 5S is a nightmare! I have over 15 email accounts on my iPhone 5S

each email account has multiple folders to get all the emails organized in iOS 9 which worked well and was easy to manage. Now it's all out in iOS 10 and I need to scroll to find anything and often it puts emails in the wrong folder guessing instead of letting me decide. Can't stand what apple did to mail which functioned well since 2008 with iOS 10 update! It wastes huge amounts of time trying to find mail in folders that I used to be able to access quickly before iOS 10. It's the most unorganized email system for many emlail accounts I have ever seen. Trying to fix it would take me weeks to reorganize years of many email accounts saved emails. That's not including failing getting over /00 emails I need to manage which is why I had a good organized system set up. Apple dropped the ball on email update in iOS 10 turning it to a pile of poop No one wants search through!

Yes and No. It does, but if you forget or accidentally touch the email itself, every message is rendered READ, even if there are dozens you've not looked at before.

In a professional environment. with lots of thread participants, this is impossible. Even for personal use, it's still plain stupid.

Apole, for all that's holy, please revert back to iOS 9 for the organization of email threads. This new system is entirely useless for any professional who has voluminous strings. You have rendered my iPhone and iPad useless for managing my emails. Go back to the old system which was not broken.

Replies composed in the mail app are also broken. I have somehow managed to send a reply to the wrong branch of a thread, even though I used the expander arrows, specifically selected the message I wanted to respond to, and saw the body of the message I was replying to while composing my reply. I didn't even realize I had done this until I looked for my reply in Outlook and couldn't find it in the part of the thread I was expecting.

I have *never* replied to the wrong message in the mail app before, at least not without fat-fingering it (and then immediately realizing my mistake and sending an immediate follow up).

This is ridiculous. Either due to extremely poor and misleading usability or due to bugs the mail app in iOS 10 is completely and utterly broken.

Apple, please return the functionality of the iOS 9 mail app -- that actually worked!

RIGHT?!! I wonder this too! Do they read this feedback at all? DO THEY CARE ABOUT OUR PAIN??!! Why does no one from Apple reply with an explanation of this new structure? Irrational & cumbersome as it seems to all of us, perhaps they're working to fix the flow... or new features in a later release will correct the horrors of 10... but for god's sake THEY NEED TO TELL US!! Everyday I'm hoping and praying to wake up to a software update or some comment from Apple that will HELP ME figure out this terrible new 10 and learn some small way to make it work for my life and work (cause right now I want to throw my phone against a wall anytime I need to open the email app... which is about every 2 minutes!!!!). I don't know how to get Apple to listen, I've even called Support to vent my anger and ask if they know about any future fixes... and their reply??... "EVERYONE I KNOW LOVES THE NEW MAIL APP, IT ESSENTIALLY WORKS THE SAME" ... And then I start screaming. So my advice, until Apple listens, call tech support and start screaming. I am convinced if enough of us do this they will have to answer.

Here is what I got from Apple Support!

I am sorry that you do not like the mail update with iOS 10. Sadly, there is not a way to revert back to iOS 9 that Apple supports. If you have some suggestions about the iOS 10 mail you can leave the feedback here.

If there is a functionality issue with the device, I would be happy to help troubleshoot. But in the case of not liking the updates, leaving feedback is the best place to start. Apple does not recommend to try and revert the operating system version. Apple Feedback

Unfortunately this didn't work for me. The best thing I've found, which is still significantly worse than before, was the blue arrow symbols at the main email screen. You get some form of organization, but this is still not very good. I am extremely frustrated with this issue and this update. I get well over 150 emails a day, many on the same topic. Being able to efficiently manage my emails and file the ones I no longer need to refer to and keep the ones I need to reference is critical. I was patient and thought that it was maybe just a learning curve or getting use to a new way of doing things. Not the case, this is simply bad. I truely hope Apple reverts back to the previous email functionality in a soon to be issued update.

This tip restores most of the "show me the list of the emails in this thread" functionality from iOS 9 and previous. It's not perfect -- I'd still prefer a separate list -- but it goes a long way.

Thanks for sharing!

Fusher more, any unread message is instantly marked read as soon as you open the mail. This is a huge problem for people that are using iphones for buisness purposes. It would have been nice to have the option to have threaded messages as they used to be. This new threading is useless and now you only have thechoice of no thread or horrible thread. This needs to be fixed and the person who suggested this update ought to be given a demotion.

I found that a swipe-right on the message body when in thread view gives you a Read/Unread button. Starting to get used to this....scroll through the thread, read the emails, swipe-right to mark ones I need to come back to later. With the swipe left options of flag/reply/delete as well, this is finally starting to make sense to me how it is supposed to be used.

Appel please.......... this is the most crapy Update ever.

Mail Thread Works like crap. Reciving new mails to a thread of mails makes it imposible to find The new mail. And and and .......

Using the sliders for setting up clock is Like trying to move somthing attached to a elastic.

It's a crap Update! Roleback is in order.!!!!!!

don't see the double arrows you are referring to.

There is the upper left opposing arrows which open and close the email list versus full width display of the message;

And on upper right two opposing greater than less than icons for moving previous or next email message.

I do not see the double are at top right of every threaded email conversation as you put it.

Thanx

Oh Wait!

I see the the 2 double arrows you are referring to:

They are upper in the list of messages. Not the body of the message or on the right hand side of the message display side.

But rather the right hand side of the Message list.

Yes - very helpful tip.

Thanks..
