Try using Spark or mail service providers’ own apps (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, etc.)


The only reason I don’t (and I would love to) is that it breaks email links in apps, you still need the native mail app for those, and unfortunately that’s enough for me to keep using the app.

What do you mean by “email links”? If these are the URLs placed within the emails, they work fine in Gmail app, for example.

I think the poster means “mail to:” links on webpages. Clicking upon them opens only the native Mail app. Likewise, clicking “email” in a contact card using the Contacts app only opens the native Mail app.

Meanwhile, even after upgrading to 13.2.2, I’m still having the problem where received mail doesn’t appear in the inbox without a manual refresh or toggling the unread filter.

I’m getting sick of this. I don’t think they’ll fix it though. I’ve tried virtually everything conceivable except completely resetting the phone and setting up as new without restoring from iCloud backup. Has that worked for anyone?

And if you delete the mail app it makes these links non functional. It’s being able to set default apps which would solve the situation.

I‘ve noticed a couple of times now that when launching the mail app it shows no mail at all. Then if I leave it a minute it reloads all of my mail boxes.

I wonder if Apple could just resort to giving us the version of mail package from iOS 12? In all the years I have used mail it has never been this bad.

So now I am getting a badge showing I have a new piece of mail, but then when I look in All Inboxes or any particular inbox I don't see anything new. I can only see the new piece of mail on my Mac. What caused this cluster **** in Mail? I wasn't having any problems until the latest update. When iOS 13 was first released everything was fine for me.

I still see this off and on. A little less with 13.2.2, but definitely still there. Seems weird to have a badge signifying new mail then either finding it not downloaded or an empty Inbox. Even with an iCloud account.

- Remove all mail accounts
- Delete the Mail App
- Soft reset phone (quickly press vol up, vol down, hold power)
- Install Mail app from app store
- Setup mail accounts
- Enable notifications etc
- Enable iCloud mail again

I sometimes feel like I'm the only one who hasn't really had any E-mail problems with iOS 13. I'm crossing my fingers and all but I continue to be surprised at the torrent of complaints. Maybe I use E-mail differently than other people? Maybe it's the fact that I receive mail on two small E-mail servers and not the big boys like GMail?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Until a week ago I was fine too. Now I am having massive problems on my iPad with my Exchange account, making it next to impossible to use it.

I did this a week ago or so and it totally messed up Mail - everything was worse, no problems solved. I had to reinstall iOS. I'm not saying it won't work for other people, but it didn't work for me. :-\

Not just the torrent but the variety. Back-end server differences for Exchange accounts? And maybe there are user configuration and use differences that matter (but probably shouldn't, if the Apple devs were on top of their game)? Not sure. I appreciate you not telling us, in effect, that we're 'using it wrong,' as some in this thread seem to need to do.

While this may not be of much use to anyone - I have been testing iOS 13.3 beta 2 (with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account) vigorously and it is looking promising.

I am no longer able to reproduce the following popular issues:

- Duplicate Sent Items seems to have been addressed

- Long press / hold and and Forward - no longer crashes Mail app

- A good one - that frustrating bug where email body content is cut, removed or truncated when forwarding - "seems" to be resolved. I can not replicate it anymore.

- Garbled characters randomly appear in the body of email "seems" to be addressed.

I really hope the final release of iOS 13.3 is a solid one for the native Mail app (and we can carry on with our lives ? ).

I found found those same things as well on my iPad using iOS 13.3 beta 2. Looks promising but have been afraid to try on my iPhone as I need the mail to be 100% on that.

Same here. iPad seems to be holding up with the above issues resolved, but very hesitant to update iPhone to 13.3 b2, because last time I tried, I had to end up putting the phone in Recovery mode, and restore from a Mac backup. Currently on 13.2.2 and using Outlook.
Come on Apple. Please. Fix. This.

clicking on any one mail notification in notification centre removes all the existing mail notifications from the notification centre- for all types of mail accounts.

Anyone having this issue with the Mail app?
If I start typing a contact in a the TO section of a new message, app crashes.
The app is unusable. Phone is on 13.2.2.

Mail still broken for me; I receive a notification for new mail but still have to refresh for it to download. Given this has happened since the release of iOS 13, why aren’t Apple able to fix it.....?

Things seem to be improving on 13.2.3. Still not perfect I know, but wondering if others are noticing this as well. It’s at least usable now.

I agree, my iCloud mail is pushing now and all seems to be well. The only minor issue is when I open mail to look at a message it's not immediately there, usually takes around 5 seconds to appear. Much better than it was though. YMMV...…..Ed

1. Mail app still freezes for 3-4 seconds when opened by clicking a notification.
2. All mail notifications get removed from notification centre when any one is clicked to open the mail.
3. Sending a mail from Yahoo mail account marks the sent copy as "Unread".

This is on 13.2.3.
