Q: Mail app crashes after iOS 10 update

I just updated to iOS 10 on my iPad 4 32 GB. The Mail app often unexpectedly quits. I have no problem using it again but it's annoying. Since it's an Apple app, I cannot uninstall & install it again. Any suggestions?

iPad, iOS 10

    Have you restarted the iPad? Hold Sleep and Home buttons until you see the Apple.

    Hi Diana,

        I have tried this several times. I am trying different thing. I may have to just look at my unread, not all my mail. It seems to crash when I look at all my mai. Thanks for your response.

    Hi, I have the same problem, I think it is a bug and there's probably not much we can do until Apple rectify this in the next update. Also, I don't have the arrows to navigate between emails either. So I have to make the side menu appear every time which is quite annoying. Cheers, Pierre.

    HI Pierre,

         Unfortunate as this is, at least I know I'm not the only one having this issue, that it is not unique to my iPad or mail server. I have an iPhone 6s which doesn't appear to have this issue. I hope Apple monitors this & fixes it soon too. Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone, vtsue

    Same issue here with both iPhone 6 and iPad Air2. It always happens when it is fetching mail. Most of the time just one crash and then stable, but on occasion it will crash repeatedly. Have done hard reset a couple times with no improvement. Have not deleted/re-installed email accounts as I have 4 and it hasn't reached that level of annoyance, yet.

    I have the same problem since the 10 update.  Restarting didn't help.  Apple needs to fix this!

    HI,

         I'm sorry you're having this issue too but we aren't alone. I have thought about deleting & adding my mail account

    or as I just discovered deleting the Mail app entirely, new with iOS 10. But since I still can get my mail I'm waiting for Apple to fix this too.

    In addition to rebooting my iPad4 I have also reset my network connection and deleted/re-installed my email account.  I still get crashes back to home screen sometimes when I delete an email.

    Same problem for me as well.  Email will "sit there" for a bit and finally crash. Double tapping the home button and closing the app seems to help maybe 20% of the time. Very annoying.

     

    Recommending to everyone I know to not update until iOS 10 becomes less beta. C'mon Apple!
