Corrupted photo files in emails in iPhone and iPad

Wonder if anyone is having a similar problem.
My wife and I each have a Gmail account. The setup is that mail goes to an iPhone and a MacBook Air for me and an iPhone, an iPad and a MacBook Pro for my wife.
When we receive some emails with photo attachments (the sender's email account is irrelevant, as it happens across various platforms) and open them in either the iPhone or iPad, the photo file is often corrupted. However, when we open the same email file in either laptop, the photo is fine. In addition, if we go to the email stored in the Gmail server (All Mail), the attachment is not corrupted. I can access the email in the Gmail serve, find the photo file to be OK, forward it and end up with the same result - OK on the laptop, corrupted on the iPhone.
We have talked with the Apple help desk at a couple of stores and they feel that the issue may be caused by different servers being used by Google - i.e., one for mobile devices and one for non-mobile. Neither help desk person had come across this issue.
The thesis put forth after posting this issue in a Gmail forum is that the mobile device client is the problem, since the computer based clients work fine and display the files in the messages correctly.Therefore, the mobile client concerned either isn't downloading properly or it can't display correctly.
Anyone else having this issue?

iPhone. Sorry.

How do I sync my email on iPhone and iPad?

My hotmail account does not sync between my iPhone and my iPad although the iPad does sync email between itself and my computer.

You can setup an iCloud account. You get 5GB of storage space for free. Then your mail will automatically sync via Wi-Fi between your iPhone and iPad.

The inkjet spam email is the same one that is causing my iPad's issue! I'm having the exact same problem as you're having --touching the email or having the email at the top of the screen freezes/shuts down ipad. I've been to two Apple stores and no one seems to know what's going on, plus, they claim they haven't heard of this problem i suggested they go to the Apple Commnity to get a feel for what's going on.
No, the issue has never been resolved!!

Seeing duplicate emails on iphone and ipad

I'm trying to figure out how to stop duplicate emails coming into iphone an ipad via icloud.

I am having the same issue on mine. My exchange account has lost two emails. My family member with a yahoo account has been complaining about this for a few weeks (first generation iPad). It just seems to be random emails. I have tried resetting the accounts.

Email on iphone and ipad

I have an annoying issue with email on my mobile phone (iPhone 5). If I get spam from a sender on my PC, using outlook, I can manage that by going to "Actions", "Junk eMail", "Add sender to block sender's list". Then email from that sender no longer appears in my in box. However the same spam DOES appear in my in box on my iPhone. This is annoying for as many as 50 of these can appear in a day. Either the mail app on the iPhone should have a facility to add senders to a blocked sender's list OR Telstra should have a facility that allows customers to block senders from getting past the Telstra/Bigpond servers.

If you are using Verizon Email there is nothing you can do about it. if you switch your email to gmail for example then you will be able to delete an email off one device and have it removed from them all.
Verizon mail uses POP which simple reads the email and places in on the device.
Gmail use IMAP which allows you to delete on one device and it will delete on all.

Don't receive all POP emails on iPhone and iPad

I woke up this morning and had (4) new emails in my Entourage mail on my MacBook Pro...but only (1) of them showed up on my iPad and (2) of them on my iPhone. The settings seem to be correct since I am receiving some of the emails just not all of them. This has been happening with my iPhone for some time but now that I have an iPad the same thing is happening.. I seem to only get some of the emails I receive on my laptop. If it's just a delay it's an awfully long one because the mail items were received on my laptop more than (5) hours ago.

TS3989 iCloud photo stream not working between iPhone and iPad

The photo stream from my iPhone is not streaming via iCloud to my iPad photos. Both have the correct settings: iCloud enabled and turned on, and within iPloud setting both have photo stream turned on. I have purchased additional iCloud space and that's certainly not the problem.
IPhone 4S: IOS 6.1.3
IPad: IOS 5.1
I would appreciate any help.

How can I sync email on iPhone and iPad but NOT PC laptop?

It's a COX POP email and I keep more on my laptop and in folders than I want on my phone or iPad.

POP mail is not synced. POP mail is picked up individually by each email client. If you want to pick up less on one device than the other, set the one device you want to master the account with to delete mail from the server after you pick it up. That way, it would not be available to the other mail clients. Otherwise, you would need to delete whatever mail you do not want on the individual devices. You can also keep in on whatever devices you want and it will not affect the other devices.

Emails from iPhone and iPad

Emails being sent from these devices, that have attachments, are being rejected with the following message:
Cannot Send Mail
The message was rejected by the server because it is too large.
These are basic Word or pdf documents of modest size so it seems unusual that the emails would be rejected. Any suggestions?

What kind of email account do you have? And what does the receiver have?
Is your inbox/the receiver's inbox full? That can cause issues.
