Email app not opening on iphone 5?

whenever i try to open the email app on my iphone, it expand to fill the screen, but then flashes back to the home screen before it loads. the app does start running and i can see it in the list of open apps, but it's a white screen and it always takes me straight back to the home screen when i tap on it.
i still get notifications from the app - it's still picking up the emails, notifications come at the top of the screen telling me what the email is, and there's a badge on the app, but i just can't open it to actually read the emails.
the first thing i did was restart my iphone, but that didn't help. i then tried a hard restart, but still nothing changed. any help?

I've been having the same problem, after I was attempting these fixes for another problem (the great "Delete All" riddle - but that's for another time).
(Delete all email in Inbox iOS7)
So just so I'm clear, to restore, I just choose a saved backup from, say, the day before the problem started?
Thanks.

  • Third Party Apps Not Opening on iPhone 5 using iOS 6.0.2

    I have an iPhone 5 and am using iOS 6.0.2 and recently certain third party apps like Facebook, Instagram, Shazzam for instance, no longer open.  When I tap on the app, the app comes up on the screen for about a second, and then closes.  What's strange is that I've been using iOS 6.0.2 and have also been using the most updated versions of the apps without any issues.  The crashing started happening around last Friday.  Here's what I've tried to do to fix the problem so far but none of these options have worked:
    - I restarted my phone by holding down the home button and the lock button. 
    - I turned my phone off and turned it on again. 
    - I deleted the apps and reinstalled them and then restarted my phone. 
    - I downloaded a random free app, opened it, and then tried opening the apps that kept crashing.
    - I restored my phone and synced it using the most recent back up I had, which was from earlier that day. 
    I did find a temporary solution, that allows the apps to open but I think it's because the apps are not the most recent versions. 
    - I restored my phone and set it up as a new phone.  The phone then downloaded all of the apps again and re-synced everything.  The apps did open after that however, when I went to the app store, it said that I had 24 available updates.  I updated all of the apps to their most up to date versions and then noticed that they once again stopped opening and would crash almost immediately after launching them. 
    - I then restored my phone again and set it up as a new phone and did not update the 24 apps and all but one of them work.  The only app that I've noticed that still doesn't work is the Blackboard Eats app.  It still crashes almost immediately after launching it. 
    I took my phone to the Genius Bar this weekend (which is where I was told to restore the phone and set it up as a new phone).  I'm thinking that the issue is purely a software issue, but is there any chance that it could be a hardware issue? 
    I suppose I could just not update the apps, but I'm hoping there's a better solution than that.  What's weird is that the phone was working with iOS 6.0.2 and all of the most up to date versions of the apps less than a week ago and it seems that somehow, overnight, they stopped working. 
    Is anyone else running into this problem?  Has anyone found a solution? 
    Thanks in advance,
    Kevin

    The music player does not remember where the last session ended.  I have about 1000 songs on my iPhone.  I play the songs in the Shuffle mode - and it worked fine on iOS 5.x.  Ever since I updated to iOS 6.0, the shuffle seems to be seriously broken.  It repeats the song sequence of previous session in the exact order instead of starting from where the session ended.  God forbid if your last session was 10-25 songs long - you'll have to hit the Next song so many times to listen to something that you have not heard for a while.

  • Apps not opening on iphone 4 with new IOS 6.1 upgrade

    Ever since I update my IOS on my iphone 4 to 6.1, My applications are not opening properly. Most of the time the will appear as if they are opening but nothing loads up in them. I have tried various resets and nothing has fixed it. I hope this bug gets fixed soon. It's super annoying.
    The phone often times will become unresponsive.
    In addition to the app issue and the unresponsivness , My battery life has diminished severely. I used to go 2 days without charging my phone but now i dont think i will make it half a day. I'm sure im not the only one having these issues.

    Thanks - for some reason I thought several functions of Siri was available, but I guess I was incorrect.

  • Email app not working from iPhone

    Has anyone ever encountered the mailbox app closing without opening properly?  I cannot view any of my mailboxes.

    Try resetting your phone. Hold the home and off button down until the apple symbol comes up.

  • HT204053 my apple id is not open when put email and password its need to verify but if email is not open how can i verify?

    when i put my icloud id and password at icloud.com a message come checkyour email for instructions on how to veryfiy account.but on my ipad email is not open whAT I DO? plz help me

    Check the primary email account associated with the Apple ID you are using to create your iCloud account on your computer.  You should see an email from Apple.  You need to click the Verify Now link on the email to verify your account.  (Be sure to check both your inbox and your spam/junk folder).
    If you don't have a computer, add the email account to your iPad by going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account.  Then use the Mail app to check for the email.
    If you don't see the email from Apple, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

  • The message cannot be seen on incoming emails.  I can only view the message if I click on reply.  Also any links attached to email will not open.  I have tried everything to solve the problem but not able to.

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • When I click on Creative Cloud logo, indicator for time passing goes for a few seconds and stops, but app not opening (it used to).  Any ideas?

    I've never used this feature to ask a question.  Pardon not knowing etiquette and such.  When I click on Creative Cloud logo/icon on my desktop, the indicator for time passing goes for a few seconds and stops, but CC app not opening. 
    CC app used to work on this same computer a few months ago.  No changes to operating system.  Photoshop is still working.  Just wanted to download Lightroom and perhaps begin learning it, but to no avail.
    Tried to look for a way to reinstall Adobe CC, but it says I already have it.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you in advance,
    Timothy

  • How come when I try to open an app on my phone does the screen just blink and the app not open?

    How come when I try to open an app on my phone does the screen just blink and the app not open?

    Some apps crash. If they do, try this, in order.
    1. Double click your home button and put your finger on any app and hold for a second. Then delete that app. You're not deleting the app from your phone, so don't worry. Then try opening the app again.
    2. If that doesn't work, hold your sleep+home buttons for 10 seconds and don't let go. Ignore the power off message. Then try again.
    3. If that doesn't work, delete the app and re-download it. (This will work most of the time)
    4. If that doesn't work, download the app on iTunes on your computer and sync it from there.
    5. If that doesn't work, wait for an update by the developers.

    I recently updated to Yosemite and now I am having problems with the above mentioned apps, not opening at all.
    I am unable to check to which version its update to, or even update to next version.

    You ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" or "MacCleanse" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system and many applications.   
    The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below. If you use any iWork applications, you may need to delete them and redownload them from the App Store.
    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon, usually with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

    You will need to try to restore your iPhone (preferably from the same computer that you most recently synced to).
    Read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If you can't do the restore then you will need to try Recovery Mode.
