Mail takes forever to load...

[torbjornhb]

Anyone else experience that it takes very long time to load mail? The red icon that indicates the number of emails appears, but nothing is displayed in the app. The Gmail app displays the mail immediately, but it may take 5-10 minutes for it to appear in your Apple mail app.

By the way, running the latest version iOS and no beta.

iOS Mail app on iOS 9 works perfectly.
Just goes to show that there was a time when it used to work flawlessly.
Mail App has been plagued with annoying problems ever since.

This is suddenly happening to me, too, just within the last couple of weeks. Badge appears, super slow in the “checking for mail” operation. And even once it pulls the emails in, it’s slow to load the two-line preview. Driving me crazy and makes the app unusable.

I did something that I think have solved the problem. Delete the account that which the problem occurs. Then add it back again.

I deleted my Gmail account, and added it back again. Now it seems like everything is fine.

No such luck here. I deleted both gmail accounts, deleted the app, restarted the phone, then reconfigured it all. Checking for mail is still taking forever.

I take it back. It seems like once my phone had time to settle and fully sync with my two gmail accounts, it’s back to working like normal!
