Mail issues on iOS 8 (unread mail, accidental deletions)

Hello,
ever since I updated my iPad 4 to iOS 8, I have had problems with my mail app. I hoped that it was a glitch and that updates would fix it, but now I'm on 8.1.2 and things remain the same. Here's what is troubling me:
The new unread e-mails in "All inboxes" are shown in parentheses behind each folder on the Mailboxes screen. (Same is true for the top left "Mailboxes" link while I'm reading an e-mail on landscape orientation.) Now, while the e-mails themselves lose the little blue dot as soon as I open an e-mail, the parentheses-marker remains the same, signalling to me that there are unread e-mails. Or rather: As I flip through my unread e-mails, all but one are registered as read. In the end, the top left corner always still says "Mailboxes (1)" even when I've read all e-mails. The only way to get rid of that "(1)" is by selecting another read e-mail. Then it disappears.
When swimping e-mails to lefts to reveal the options menu, half the time I don't even get far enough t reveal the red "delete" button before the e-mail is deleted automatically. I hardly dare swiping important e-mails to the left anymore because they might be deleted accidentally. (This is particularly annoying if I want to flag an e-mail.)
Rarely, but often enough to bother me, the mail app crashes while typing or reading an e-mail.
These are enough problems to make me ask for help. Would resetting the network settings help? Does anyone else have these problems? It's all involving the Mail app. Should I switch to a third party mail app instead?
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks,
Nils

I have the exact same issue! Works smooth as butter on iOS 8.1 but not Yosemite... I'm running the pre-seed beta Yosemite update which supposedly fixes some Exchange issues but it hasn't fixed this one!
Exchange remains unusable for me in Apple Mail in Yosemite...

Mail issues with Apple's Mail

I was using Outlook Express to send & receive mail. And then (because Outlook Express has been giving me fits with errors and needing to put my password in every time I wanted to use it) I switched to Mail (the one that came on my Mac).
And now, with Mail, something crazy is happening on my iPhone and iPad. It showed that it was downloading and downloading and downloading, but I don’t know what it was downloading. Archived stuff? Everything that is in everything in every folder on my Mac?
Then it stopped downloading stuff, and now it won’t send, I get an error saying that it Cannot Send Mail.
I tried to delete my email account from settings so that I could start over, but the gear just spun and spun for over 30 minutes.
I have no idea what is going on, but I think that it must be connected to the fact that I switched from Outlook Express to Mail.
Please, if anyone can help I would really appreciate it.

Mail Migration - Folders Subscriptions & Unread Mail

Hello,
I'm currently testing a migration from MS 5.2 to 6.2. Sorry for all
the verbage here - I'll try to shorten as much as possible.
iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 HotFix 2.09 (built Nov 18 2005)
libimta.so 5.2 HotFix 2.09 (built 10:35:58, Nov 18 2005)
The Sun Java system is
Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 6.2-3.04 (built Jul 15 2005)
libimta.so 6.2-3.04 (built 01:43:03, Jul 15 2005)
I have issues with read messages showing up unread and folder subscriptions gone. I'm looking at the folder subscription issue right now.
The portal migration first has us 'migrate' the email data. After that is done, a rename of the email account is done to match the 'immutable id'. So user/joeuser/INBOX is going to become user/83899111100/INBOX. What I have found is that if joeuser had a store.sub file, it is now gone after the rename. If I copy the original store.sub file and edit the contents to match the new acct, joeuser can then see the folders.
Is that normal behavior for the store.sub file to disappear if you are completely renaming an account?
Regarding the unread mail issue. I copy the mboxlist info from the 5.2 system to the 6.2 system, run the upgrade scripts, and start stored. The default log for stored statup that say "Removing database environment" and to run reconstruct -m.

I run the reconstruct -m, which works and results in a new database. I would assume that this is why all the mail shows up as 'unread'. Is this a correct assumption? Where is read/unread info kept?
I've opened up a problem with the portal vendor. For the subscribed issue, that seems related to the rename of the account itself. For the unread issue, that would seem related to the 'newly initialized' database.
Since the 6.2 system doesn't like something about the migrated database and to avoid 'losing' the old database, I am being told to the the following on the current 5.2 system prior to migration to ensure a clean database:
1. reconstruct -m
2. And one step 1 is complete, reconstruct -r -f
Does this seem like the right thing to do?
Thanks for reading all of this and whatever info you can provide.

Regarding the unread mail issue. I copy the mboxlist info from the 5.2 system to the 6.2 system, run the upgrade scripts, and start stored. The default log for stored statup that say "Removing database environment" and to run reconstruct -m. Before going any further - performing the upgrade with a non-patched version of 6.2 is going to cause problems period -- regardless of whether this is 'necessary' due to some kind of portal support requirement.

I run the reconstruct -m, which works and results in a new database. I would assume that this is why all the mail shows up as 'unread'. Is this a correct assumption? Where is read/unread info kept?read/unread information is kept in two locations -- the mboxlist database that wasn't successfully migrated (hence the "General Critical: Recovering database from snapshot") and and older 'backup' snapshot version which resides on disk ... store.usr.
I've opened up a problem with the portal vendor. For the subscribed issue, that seems related to the rename of the account itself. For the unread issue, that would seem related to the 'newly initialized' database.I suggest you upgrade to 118207-63 prior to performing the migration and see if either/both issues persist.
Since the 6.2 system doesn't like something about the migrated database and to avoid 'losing' the old database, I am being told to the the following on the current 5.2 system prior to migration to ensure a clean database:
1. reconstruct -m
2. And one step 1 is complete, reconstruct -r -f
Does this seem like the right thing to do? I would run "reconstruct -r" which will quickly detect and resolve simple errors, but running (1) and (2) seems un-necessary since this is unlikely to be the cause of the behaviour you mentioned.
There are known issues with upgrading from 5.2->6.2 e.g. bug #6460035 - "make_mboxlistdb_changes.sh script does not copy the log files" which will lead to the same error -- once again this is fixed in 118207-63.

Shane.

The fonts all turned bold even in sites and even in mails for read and unread mails.

When I visit any sites, the fonts on my browser turns bold. Even when in my e-mail accounts (yahoo, gmail), my read and unread mails/messages are both in bold. Why? What Should I do?

Such an error can indicate a problem with a missing or corrupted font.
You can try to run the System File Checker program to see if that fixes it.

Issues with new Maverick Mail, issues with new Maverick Mail

Everytime I use Mail a window opens asking me my password for my Icloud account.
This started after I installed the new OS X Mavericks.

Hi there,
We have similar problems plus many more. We have spoken to repair company's who will not take the job on now as they know they cannot fix any issues with Mac updates.
The lattest fix has not fixed my mail issues since the last update either!
Its a shambles and all my settings are correct, we have checked them three times but nothing seems to work.
Does anyone who of a reliable mail program for mac? Im having to use my PC mail program now as Mac are so slow to repair there mistakes. Its costing our company thousands in downtime with the disruptive updates. Our Iphones dont work properly since thier last update either. One would have to ask whats going on with Mac? No preplys from there so called helplines.
WHATS MAC GOING TO DO ABOUT IT???

Can the iPhone only pull inbox mail and not all unread mail?

Yahoo correctly filters my mail into inbox and spam. The iPhone pulls ALL unread mail rather than just that from the inbox. Anyway to fix this?

What is unread except for what is in your Inbox mailbox?
Are you accessing a free Yahoo account with the iPhone's Mail client, and did you use the Yahoo account preset when creating your Yahoo account?
If so, the Yahoo account preset on an iPhone creates the account as an IMAP account with the iPhone's Mail client. With an IMAP account, the email client used to access the account keeps all server stored mailboxes for the account synchronized with the server. All messages received by the account, and available in the account's Inbox mailbox on the server, will be available in the account's Inbox mailbox with the iPhone's Mail client - which keeps the mailbox synchronized with the server. If spam is received at the server and is available in the account's Inbox mailbox at the server, the same messages will be available in the account's Inbox mailbox with the iPhone's Mail client. This is how an IMAP account works.
With a POP account, any messages that remain in the account's Inbox mailbox at the server will be downloaded when accessing the account with a new email client, and will be shown as unread when downloaded by a new email client used to access the account. This is also normal for a POP account when accessing the account with a new email client.
The iPhone's Mail client does not included a spam filter. Even if it did, new messages received at the server and available in the account's Inbox mailbox at the server will be downloaded - spam and all - which is the same for any email client.

Deleted mails still shows as unread mail

I have an iPhone 4s. In my mail application I have deleted all my mails but it till shows that I have a number of unread messages. How do I get rid of this?

Some times glitches like that can be cleared by a simple reboot (leaves your content and settings as is) by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignoring the red slider if that appears.

Yahoo Mail issues. Cannot get mail. The connection to the server failed.

This only started happening yesterday. I've tried everything from restoring tosetting up the pop settings. Please help!

Have you tried Deleting the Mail Account and then Re-adding it...
Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Choose the affected email account, then tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.

Still there. Its my yahoo account using pop mail. Always worked before updating to ios 7.

How to include the exchange sub folder's unread mail into the "UNREAD" group in default exchange mail app in iPhone ?

I am using ios 7.0.2. I have many sub folders in my exchange mail box. Problem is when any mail comes to the sub folder, it is not counted as unread mail and it also does not be visible under the unread mail group. The unread mail group only shows the unread mails which have come directly to inbox but not the mails which comes to the sub folder according to the set rule. Have any one noticed this ridiculous thing? Is there any solution or it's a bug??

I have the same problem. On the IPad and IPhone I can easilly connect to our Exchange server. When setting up a MacBook Air, using the same settings (account/server address etc) it doesn't work...
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks!

ICloud Mail unread mail not syncing

Since iCloud Mail (actually Mobile Me mail) was introduced, the unread mail count has always synced between my iPad and iPhone. By that, I mean if I read my email on my iPhone, it would automatically get marked as read in my iPad and vice-versa. Basically reading mail on one, would cause the badge to change on the other.
Some time recently, within the last few months, this no longer happens. Both my iPad and iPhone will detect when new email arrives, but that's it. Reading or deleting mail on one won't update the other until I manually open the Mail app.
I don't know when this changed exactly, but I prefer the original way it worked. Is there some way to get iCloud Mail to update on read and delete like it used to do?

no one?

I have accidentally deleted my inbox and now can only see unread mail on my iPhone. How can I restore this?

I have accidentally deleted (or hidden) my inbox. Now I can only see unread mail on my iphone. I have switched it off and on again but this has not fixed the problem. All help appreciated. Thank you.

Hi ElizabethAnnT,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
With the Mail app open on your iPhone, notice which email account is showing in the top left corner of your screen. Tap on that mailbox and you should be taken back to the main MAILBOXES window. See the picture below:
If you tap the Edit button in the top right corner of your screen you will see a list including "All Inboxes" and "Unread." Make sure there is a blue circle with a checkmark to the left of all of these.
For more information on using Mail, click on the link below:

...tap Edit while viewing the Mailboxes list.
Cheers,

Accidentally deleted e-mail account, won't re-download my e-mails?

In Mail, I accidentally deleted an e-mail account. After re-adding it, I noticed that it wouldn't download my e-mails anymore. I logged into the web-based e-mail and all my e-mails were still there. Is there any way I can re-download my e-mails again? I'm using Gmail.

Greetings,
If you're using IMAP mail, try this:
Quit Mail if it's running.
Go to Home/Library/Mail and remove the mailbox folder for that account (it starts with IMAP-).
Restart Mail and it should download the email again.
If you're using POP email, you may be able to download them again if you access your Gmail account on the web and mark all the messages as Unread first, then try restarting Mail.
