Email slow to load in mail app with iOS 11

Lates update to 11.2.5 did not make thing better. Mail app is super slow again and with both devices (iPhone 6 and iPad pro). Using Gmail app so I at least get notified when receiving new email.

I should have added that Edison Mail fetches and carries for gmail and exchange accounts, though it won't support my old school POP Orange account

Mine is doing the same thing on my 6 after I updated to 11. Very slow. Exchange and gmail also. Once other thing it is doing is, once you click on mail, it's like it has to finish checking before you can start scrolling through your mail.

I am having an issue with the google apps account. I updated my Mac to High Sierra and it was taking a while to re-download the mail from google. I am wondering if this is a gmail issue since I have tried another email client on my iPhone 7 (IOS11.1).

LOL. Apple never wants to take responsibility for its crappy updates. Once upon a time, Apple's iOS and macOS updates were a thing to behold. Now they're just piles of hooey that need constant tweaks and reboots. Yes, I understand as the systems grow they get more complicated, but why in the world does one app fail after Apple tinkers with the foundation? Why can't they just get it right? We are all in abusive relationships with Apple (and with every other computer giant) who keep us constantly wanting better and more. Glitches happen all the time. That said, how is it possible that NO ONE at Apple noticed or bothered to say anything about how slowly mail uploads email or about the horrible battery life or about any of the other several tech glitches that make iOS 11 just like every other iOS update—useless and frustrating? I stopped using the mail app because since iOS 7 it won't handle threading correctly and NO ONE has been able to debug this? How hard is it to figure out a threading issue that we all have? Um, not that hard. I have an iPhone 6. I'll never buy another iPhone because Apple doesn't give a fig about the software. It only cares about gouging us by charging us $1,000 for a pretty phone whose insides might be superiorly advanced but whose operating system continues to SUCK with every passing update. I feel the same about the computer line of MacBooks as well. I love Apple and have never owned anything but, but this is getting absurd. F'ing fix the glitches before they f'ing happen and before they roll out to millions of users. It's insane really.

Also, it may be useful to know that the outlook app stores your credentials, and download all your data (emails, adress book, calendars...) on microsoft's cloud servers between your app and your email server. If you are using a microsoft email account, it doesn't matter, anyway those data are already on Microsoft's servers. But if you are using your company's own exchange server, you should be aware of that privacy concern. As a matter of fact, some corporations, Universities or Public offices prohibit the use of this app. There are plenty of info online about it, like that one : https://support-en.mailbox.org/knowledge-base/article/ms-outlook-app-ios-android -privacy-warning

John—are you an AOL user? I’m no expert on all this stuff but my performance overall is better. The email issue might be something but something definitely changed with the new release of iOS. I am an AOL user and hope it’s not something they are doing.

Now, after update iOS 11.0.2 i have next Problem with Calendar Synchronization (with Exchange 2007). Events on Outlook are not in Iphone, but Events from Iphone are in Outlook Calendar. (Only one way synchro..)

S**t Apple 😠

Yes. I am seeing this issue as well. In fact, I’ve noticed that if, after letting the app catch up, if I then tap the icon in the upper left to see the other windows of the mail app....it goes away and never comes back leaving me with no capability to go and look at my other email accounts. I have to stop the email app and restart to get the icon back...

IOS 11 is an upgrade that is NOT COMPLETE. Too many bugs. Apple blew it with this one....

Today for some reason my emails are starting to come in normally. I have 2 gmail accounts and one yahoo. Not sure if this did the trick but I ended up downloading the yahoo mail and gmail app and using these Sosa for the last 4 days. Then today my iOS mail app started to work normally. Weird but glad that it’s back to normal, at least for now.

May I ask if a moderator here has informed the apple dev team about this. There's been 3 updates without any fix, and it's a major problem. As for myself, and I'm probably not the only one, I use an exchange account for my professional emails, while I have an icloud account for personnal matters. I recevieve hundreds of emails every day for work, each of them taking 50 to 70 seconds to load. This is a major issue for productivity, and I clearly can't continue to work like that. Would you please fix this bug ?

I'm not the moderator but how does one inform the apple dev team about this. I'm using an iPhone 6S and just did this new update and still no change. Email wheel keeps spinning and taking for ever for my emails to download! Such lost time waiting for important work email. Come on Apple help us!

I have been reading this link and desperately hoping that there would be a resolution. And I am just as frustrated as everyone else. Come on Apple get your finger out none of this would’ve happened on Steve Jobs watch.

Thanks Ryggorr, that seemed to fix the issue in my case. What is interesting - after I did this using Exchange server certificate, also my Gmail account started to load emails fast. So far so good. Thanks for posting!

I use Godaddy as my email server. My problem is only with ios11 mail on my iPhone 6s and my iPad pro. My Sierra mac mail works fine. I have not updated to High Sierra for fear my email will have problems. Rygorr- what should I to get my mail on ios11 working. Do I need to get a certificate from go daddy? Appreciate your help.
