Email slow to load in mail app with iOS 11

I have same issues on all my email accounts yahoo, gmail, Ameritech, they all take forever to low and just says loading and it takes like way too long. I try rebootink iPhone recover from Ituens and also try on a different version iPhone and same issues on all device. They need to fix this since so many people having same probleM. Apple support was not very interested or helpful in this matter. They told its not there proble. How sad 😢

So hilarious, when I tried to access this discussion through the link in email copies of posts, it said “this site is restricted” Anyway Apple mail is unusable for me, I’ve switched to accessing my gmail from my Google account.

I can't afford the day or two it will take Apple Mail to sync my 100+ email folders, otherwise I would test the latest iOS 11...

I wonder why Apple can't incorporate some AI into their coding, observe the extremely slow display of mail, collect some data - and then fix it?

I have had the same problem since I updated to IOS 11, and it has not improved with the 11.1 or .2. This afternoon, none of my new Yahoo emails would load. Thankfully, I have not updated my iphone and could get emails there. I called Apple Tech Support and spent an hour on the phone. I have deleted and reinstalled, done a hard reboot, and tried everything I could think of, and the Tech Support did too, but the problem still exists. My emails are now loading, but it takes forever. Come on, Apple! Please fix this. We have all Apple products, but I am losing faith.

I agree. This really is insane that Apple hasn't stepped up. I continue to initiate chat support sessions just to be taken through all the same old routines. Try "push" settings. Try deleting and restarting your email accounts. Even backup and restore for the entire phone. No help, just continued frustration. I also have been an all apple product guy/family, but we're losing faith....

SO, Apple,

Sept 20th to Dec 12th.

WE ALL HAVE THIS ISSUE.

FIX The problem or justify why we should spend $1000 on a phone that NO LONGER FUNCTIONS WELL BECAUSE OF YOUR UPDATES.

Your reinstall process is ridiculous for an app that was previously working.

I shouldn't have to reinstall the working app to fix the broken operating system.

Nor should you blame a slower processor in an older (iphone 6plus) iphone.

Please provide an update of your own research and plans for correction to give us an idea of future fix.

Now it’s gone from bad to worse again. My Yahoo new emails won’t load on my ipad again. It says that it’s up to date, but it’s not. My iphone, which has not been updated to IOS11, works just fine. How many times do I have to delete and reinstall before Apple fixes this? Apple, with this be days, weeks, or months before it is fixed?

I tried that too. No avail. Besides it would just jam up again if you had a build up of unread emails. Who’s to decide that limit number

I am running outlook now but still check mail hoping for a miracle.

Reed,

Yes, you are right about a lot more people reading these posts do not use Yahoo. I for one use the Spectrum Roadrunner as my account and it functions through the Apple Mail on my iMac and iPad. (Don't want email coming into our smartphones and texts keep us busy enough there.) We don't use iPhones but I see most people, I'm sure a lot younger than us, do, and I can appreciate their anguish with slow downloading eMail. At first I thought that this was an isolated problem with my older Mac or that it was time to delete a huge accumulation of old ones that I keep. Sometimes it's tough to keep patient with the glitches that come with these upgrades but Apple is pretty reliable in the long run and will take care of us. Meanwhile, have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I've enjoyed using the Apple products for the 18 years of my retirement and swear by them. Keep the faith.

I tried that too. This morning my new gmail loaded but new yahoo messages did not load. It says it’s up to date but it isn’t. Thank goodness I didn’t update my phone, as I usually do them both at the same time. If this is permanent, then I will need a refund on my ipad so I can purchase something that actually works.I don’t want to deal with this EVERY DAY FOREVER.

Here it is December 17, 2017, and this issue is STILL NOT RESOLVED! Latest update, iPad Pro, and yahoo mail still has this problem! Is there anyone working on a fix? Does anybody at Apple or Yahoo! Care. Annoying as ****. It has cost me clients, dropping yahoo altogether!

HI have had this issue with Yahoo mail disappearing for 12 months. So frustrating, I have an iPhone 6 Plus. I’m now having the slow download issue on both iPhone and iPad Air 2. If I use the yahoo app no issues. Just problem with built-in iOS mail box! Assume no closer to a fix?

I read many pages here hoping for a solution, but I see Apple didnt fix this yet.

So here's one more for statistics, iPhone 7+, 11.2.1, Gmail extremely slow.

I tried to sync my mail, waited a bit, then opened Safari, fill username, password, and Mail app hadnt synched yet!

Caught with their proverbial pants down.

Now we should be allowed to choose.... I would rather risk “damaging” the components as they say than have a super slow brick phone

Or just buy a new battery, right?

I‘ve gotten the same issue since I’ve given another try to Mail.

I was using Spark before but I wanted to use Mail again as it is a native application and as Airmail wasn’t as good as expected...

I had an Exchange account, 2 gmail accounts and an iCloud account... I‘ve given up with Mail now since Airmail is back on track and is way more reliable and fast than the  Mail.... What a shame!

I use an iPad Pro (for my work), iPhone SE and Watch Series 2 with always the last iOS iteration... Airmail shows all emails even on the small screen of the Watch. Which isn’t the case of Mail...

And when the boss of Mail leaves this company for Readdle, what does it say about improvements pertaining to Mail?

I’m afraid nothing!!!!
