Apple iPhone Mail Problems

The iPhone Mail app will start not working for various reasons that can include problems with your local network, Apple server issues, and bugs with the latest iOS update. The screenshot on this page reveals iOS 8.2 with the Watch and Mail app on the same screen.

One of the most common problems with iPhone Mail will be sending and receiving email, which we have seen first hand with many complaints in regard to iPhone mail coming in, but not going out due to unforeseen issues. The solution won’t always be clear, with a fix in some situations being a soft reset or reinstalling the latest iOS update again on iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch.

We have seen polls reveal that the Apple iPhone Mail app is the most used client, although this is officially yet to be proven.

If you are seeing servers down today, or other problems, then leave a status update with detailed issues below. If there’s a major outage with iCloud or other services, this will be evident within the updates below.

  • Caroline Fisher

    My I phone mail box has not been receiving mail since the 13th Feb, also when I’ve tried sending mail it appears to send it but then nothing shows in my sent box! Really concerned as I’ve had to send some really important emails over the last week. Not only that when I’ve logged onto safari and into google mail it’s showing the same that it’s upto date but again nothing since the 13th Feb! So frustrating I have no idea what’s going on!?! All settings are the same ! And I haven’t updated to the new iOS yet.
