Email slow to load in mail app with iOS 11

I installed iOS 11.1 and on an iPhone 6 I can say that mail is a little better. However, as I’ve said before in this thread, my iPhone 6 is a slow piece of **** on iOS 11. Often throughout the day, the screen becomes unresponsive for many seconds when switching between apps or basically just using the device for anything. It’s incredibly frustrating and I do not recommend upgrading to iOS 11 if you are on an iPhone 6.

Apple doesn’t monitor this from what they told me. That’s why it’s important for us to contact Apple about this problem. If they hear this enough times from enough people, it may then hit their radar. Thanks

The native email app is so sluggish starting up, and then switching to after using another app (even when the mail app is open in the background) that I've stopped using it and instead I use the Gmail app and stream all my other email accounts to it. It's instant compared to the crappy IOS email app.

Well so far the update has made mail act as expected. The screen becomes live when you first launch it, not 27 seconds later like before.

I have had it seem fixed before, only to get slow again. Let’s see

I think Apple knew there was a problem and it took a while to fix it. They stated only that this recent update fixes mail showing that it’s still checking mail when it was not. Actually Apple, it was still checking and locking up

They downplayed the resolve to make it a non-issue in the first place.

🙄

Why don’t Apple developers do Beta testing, surly this would be obvious during testing. Unfortunatly for many people like me, a self employed freelancer on the road a lot, my iPhone is my office. If an email doesn’t show up, I miss a job, damage my reputation for a quick responder etc. I’m now using the Gmail app, I find it awkward but necessay.

Everyone, I just got word from Apple support that they are aware of and working on this problem. Apparently, it’s an issue with yahoo email security settings, and the Apple engineers are working on it and it will likely be pushed out in a security update hopefully in the near future. I was not given a timeframe but at least now we know they are working on it. I made the point that Apple needs to participate in this forum and keep us updated better.

My Yahoo account did something strange this morning. I clicked on the account and the emails appeared but then disappeared immediately with a "No Messages" indicator. Then it proceeded to download all of the emails again. Fortunately, I only had 84 messages in the account. Never did that before, very strange indeed. But the issues I'm having are with two Gmail accounts, a Google Apps account, and two Office365 accounts, in addition to Yahoo.

Apple now acknowledging that they are throttling phone performance with older batteries:

Did you verify you had a failing battery before replacing it? I saw that Apple is going to do $29 batteries and since mine is 3.25 years old (iPhone 6) I was thinking of doing this

I did verify with the battery life app that my battery is marginal

And my slow down is x1000 when my battery is below 80%. So I think I will try this.

Hi, a Mac user of years, I speak from experience; recent iOS updates have made my mail so slow it is unusable; the problem does not arise in High Sierra

It is concerning recent claims against Apple for slowing down

older iPhones appear to also apply to my iphone 8plus; please Apple get your act together and rectify ASAP operation system issues resulting in poor performance and unrealiability you continue to inflict upon customers

It is crazy there should be even need to reboot etc as you suggest Joe; Apple is at fault - not us customers

Spent an hour yesterday with Apple support and thought my issue was with

Google mail. Now just as bad On Apple mail. Slow as mud on my 8+,

MacBook, iMac and iPad. The intermittent but was never this bad until new

iOS. Awful.

Same and it is happening with my Shaw mail and exchange. Was just on the phone with Apple Support attesting to fix for the 2nd time and NO. They have asked me to do todays update on my phone and scheduled a call back, I’ve done every update since 11 and that is the problem, Hey iPad has upated and its not working there so why will updating the phone be any different??? I think we have bum devices, I just got into a new 7 last year and new ipad pro, have you all new devices or old?

I am also having the same issue. Exchange server very slow loading email messages once they are pushed into my inbox
