Email wont stay on

Hi, Im having a problem with my e-mail on my iphone 3Gs 16mb. Everytime I try using the mail it just opens and goes straight back to the home screen. I have tried resetting the phone and its settings, I have tried deactivatin my email account and starting again, and I have tried restoring it via iTunes twice and it still doing it! ;o( I spoke to vodafone and they say its a software problem and are sending me a new phone, but sinse, I have tried it woth 2 other talktalk emails like mine and they work OK! so I dont really understand why mine wont. I have only had the phone about 2 weeks and the emails have worked fine, up until yesterday, I have even tried deleting a load of e-mails from my computer to see if that works , but still no gain. any one got any ideas, just odnt one a new phone to arrive for it to be still same problem. thank you for reading....

Maybe a corrupt or over-sized email which is crashing the email App as soon as it tries to download it.
Log-on to your email providers webmail interface on your computer and look for any suspect emails and delete them (download them to your computer first if you need to keep them).
Also, have you set the account up for POP3 or IMAP? Use IMAP if possible.

    I have a similiar problem. Hope you can help. When I load mail my touching the 'mail' icon the program loads and brings up my email all inboxes menu, however when I try to read an email it appears for a brief moment and then exits 'mail' and returns to the main screen. Any ideas? Just started happening.

  • Email wont stay deleted

    my emails keep coming back even after i have deleted them. i have both a live and hotmail account, using 4.2.1. it was working fine until a couple days ago. i have deleted the accounts, reinstalled them, restarted the device and deleted the emails from the server itself and the emails still show up as unread.

    I'm having the exact same problem. It's driving me crazy. I hope we get an answer soon.

  • Email WONT send - sits in outbox folder

    For some reason, although I can send email, my outgoing emails will NOT send - instead they stay in the outbox. Any idea how to fix?! THX!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Please clarify this confusion:
    Your subject line - "email WONT send - sits in outbox folder"
    Where you say -- "although I can send email"
    And finally where you say -- "my outgoing emails will NOT send - instead they stay in the outbox"
    So that's two votes for failure, and one for success. Can you clarify please?
    Thanks!

  • I was mid facetime call and my phone turned off and wouldnt turn on until i plugged it in. then the date was wrong,it said no service, and wont let me turn wifi on. also it wont stay on for more than a few minutes at a time

    i was mid facetime call and my phone turned off and wouldnt turn on until i plugged it in. then the date was wrong,it said no service, and wont let me turn wifi on. also it wont stay on for more than a few minutes at a time. Help?

    Sounds like a hardware failure.
    Make an appointment at the genius bar and take it in for them to look at. It will probably need to be replaced.

  • Screen Cracked and replaced, now phone wont stay on, and now i cant get it to turn back on

    about 3 days ago i dropped my phone and the screen cracked.  Although it was cracked it still worked fine with no issues and the new ios6 was installed prior to it breaking.  I brought it to a iphone repair store where they fixed the screen.  After a day i noticed the phone just turned itself off so i put it on the charger and returned and it was working.  ever since then it has now shut off randomly for no reason, battery was either fully charged or more than 50%.  I hooked it up to my computer to restore it today and it seemed to work for about 3 or 4 hours until it started to turn off on its own.  i would restart it and it would work for a shorter and shorter period of time until now it wont stay on at all.  i plugged it into the charger and it goes through the apple powerup screen and when it turns on it says searching for network in the top left corner.  when i press apps and such it is very laggy and it eventually freezes and the screen fades to black and the cell phone turns off.  I cannot get it to stay on now, even when it stays plugged into the charger...HELP PLEASE!!! is this an apple issue or something the repair shop may be responisble for?????

    The reapair shop is probably responsible. And now that you took it to a third party and not to apple store, Apple will not touch your phone at all. So you will probaly have to buy a new one or go back to the reapir shop and hope they can fix it.

  • Yep, I am still using iphone 3, but email wont sync, itunes wont find it

    But since Feb 18 or so, my iphone 3 cannot add new email accounts, and existing email accounts cannot sync to get new email any more, even when wifi is active.
    Also, my iphone 3 can no longer be recognized by itunes any more.
    Did Apple do some trick to block older iphones, such as mine, to work?

    ok....itunes now recognizes my iphone 3, that was due to a bad connection.
    But still, emails wont sync.  When adding gmail account, after a pause, it will come back and say, Cannot Connect Using SSL (Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL?)

  • Email wont open at all?

    I updated my phone recently and now my emails wont open at all. it goes to a blank screen with refresh and new button at the bottom then just shuts down to the home screen.  All of my email accounts are set up correctly and were working fine before, heck they worked up until about a week later.

    my ipad 4 is frozen not charged wont stay on and has a dark grey keyboard that wont go away not charging

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

  • Screen wont stay lit up can i fix this already tried reseting it solved problem but returned

    If you stillhave the problem after restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod you have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Wifi wont stay on

    
    Is your wireless connection dropping or when you say "wifi wont stay on" do you mean that your wifi connection just completely goes away for periods of time? You may want to contact AT&T by calling them at 1-800-288-2020 and requesting a new gateway if your wireless continues to go away.

    First, try powering your iPad off, then turn it back on. Second, plug your iPad into your computer and sync it with iTunes. This will make sure you are up to date and can often resolve quirky issues like you are experiencing.
