Email slow to load in mail app with iOS 11

It’s not your imagination. That’s exactly what’s happening now. There is something wrong with iOS 11. Please reach out to Apple. They need to hear from us

I downloaded CPU DasherX (free) and I also see a CPU frequency of 600MHz.

Apple support was useless. But brand new update of iOS seems to have corrected the issue for me.

Abandon apple mail go to outlook seriously just that easy

Yes.i pull down to check for new email and it says Checking for Mail and it stays on that a long Time then I wait and the screen times out and even when I sign back in 30 seconds later it’s still st the same point checking for Mail. Very very slow since I installed iOS 11. Deleted all of my extra email accounts in the hopes it would load faster and no change whatsoever. Relieved to see this is a bigger issue that Apple will need to address and not just my phone.

I can confirm. Slow calendar as well.

To all of the people trying to help pointing to network issues or anything specific to Exchange - thank you but 1) I do not have any exchange account anywhere, and 2) my network is very fast and reliable, and one user with an iPad too old to accept the iOS 11 (or 10) update has no problem, nor does our one Android user. Email (and calendar) for them is nice and speedy. And again, looking at the WiFi, I don't see iOS doing anything or waiting for any response - it's just sitting idle spinning away.

I also am having the same problem. Very frustrating! Clearly some issue in mail. I have multiple accounts and my work one which is the most important is the one that hangs and the wheel spins...while stating checking for mail forever. Again in OS Sierra mail, I have no problem downloading emails. My secondary email in ios11 downloads right away though. Again I care more about my main email. Ughhhh. This has been happening since up-grading to ios11. It does it on my iPad too. So clearly an ios11 bug or problem. I have tried deleting all email accounts, deleting the mail icon, re-starting and finally re-setting. This is a big problem. I even called go daddy my email server and they said everything is fine on their end which I though so since I can download on my desktop. Apple please address this issue ASAP. I need to get my business email while out of office!

Hi Rygorr

Thanks heaps. This has worked for all of our company's phones and Ipads using mail with exchange server 2007 as well. One thing we noted was anyone running the outlook mail app has to uninstall that and re add the native app as the outlook app seems to over ride the native app.

This happens on iphone and ipad. None of the suggestions work. For two days thought it was my cell connection despite all bars showing. On ipad finally tried google mail to compare and its fast as ever. Why can’t Apple do better testing before software release...?

Yes definitely don’t bother deleting app it takes ages to re sync and doesn’t fix it. I haven’t a clue why the certificate fixes the issue, but it works and I’m back to full speed emails.

I will add I have since returned back to the outlook app for email as it works very well and keeps attachments at the top of emails and not at the bottom as is the case with the iOS email app. Don’t know why Apple haven’t changed this because if you get a long mail or group of mails it’s a real pain having to scroll to the bottom. Probably should mention this on a new discussion but as Apple state they don’t look at communities then probably no point.

My IT guy dealt with it for me, it’s a root cert if that helps? Unfortunately I’m in the UK and it’s nearly midnight so I can’t ask him. If you have trouble and can’t Find the answer on the forum let me know and I will ask tomorrow and post. 👍

I can report that is it seems much better after going thru the wacky certificate process. Some new emails still display LOADING, but so far none have been longer than 10 secs. Before it was easily a minute or more. I'll know better tomorrow after the sync is complete...

Yes I concur- it’s a lot better with the certificate but sometimes it goes back to agonisingly slow “open email body” even when the content is small. I think I’ve noticed this more today as I’ve been out and about on mobile connectivity rather than Wi-fi but have 5 bars and a 4G connection. I ran a speed test on the mobile network and it said about 5Mbps when the mail app was trying (forever) to open the email body.

So my feeling is it is still broke, less broke now the certificates are in place but broke is broke !

Fix it please Applr

One side effect of disabling the Apple Mail app and using Outlook is that the excessive battery drain problem in this upgrade seems to have been fixed.

I’m loving Outlook and not missing Apple Mail at all. It feels so liberating to be able to abandon them to a product that actually works.

I did find a post that says you have to go into Outlook iOS Settings (menu option only shows when Mail is the focus - why?), click on your Exchange account, then move the "Save Contacts" slider to ON. It then prompts me whether to save 200 contacts to my iPhone - I click on <Save to My iPhone>. A message "Saving 200 contacts..." displays briefly. I then go to Phone app and there are 0 Contacts 😟 Not sure what I should do, other than throw my phone 🙂
