Fixing iPhone mail problems in IOS 7

This is a re-posting of my original discussion regarding mail problems with IOS 7 so I could correct the tags associated with the discussion:

I am certain my mailbox names match those on my AOL server, that AOL preferences are set so all mail is saved on the server and my iPhone (4) settings are to retrieve mail from the server, not my iPhone. I have matched the settings on my problem iPhone with my second iPhone that, after upgrading to IOS 7, works perfectly using the same AOL mail account. I have deleted the mail account on the problematic iPhone and set it back up. I have restored the iPhone to factory settings, updated it with my setting from a backup and re-synced my personal data. I do not sync with iCloud because mail syncs well through WiFi or through iTunes. Anyone with similiar mail problems who can suggest fixes that work would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Additional information: i decided to delete both of my iPhone mail accounts and re-enter them using the automated setup in Settings . . . neither account would load because of an error message that the outgoing IMAP server was incorrect. I went to AOL and got the IMAP server "in" and "out" settings but when I tried to enter the correct number, I discovered you can't change it (grayed out). Catch 22 - When setting up the account, iPhone assigns an AOL primary outgoing server number after you identify the @aol.com address, and you can't change it. It is not the one AOL said to use. (Is this the IOS 7 software error that might be causing the problem???) I set up the phones manually again, with the phone automatically entering the outgoing server number, but got a a different error message that I may not be able to send or receive mail. I was able to enter the correct outgoing server number ONLY when I added an additional outgoing server. It lets you enter the server number. Seems when there is a primary outgoing server (the iPhone assigned number) and a backup (one I entered with the correct number) both phones work! I know, complicated! Finallly, I suspected this is all about mailbox behavior on OS X and ISO devices and the problem is likely specific to just AOL accounts so I mapped where mail goes after being sent on all devices . . . interesting. As I suspect, sent mail goes to different mailboxes on OS X devices and ISO devices, so you have to go look for them. They are there, but in different locations. I may have to live with that. Anyone else dealing with this?

Hi missionarymac,
It sounds as if you are having an issue with your iPhone charging slowly, is that correct? I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Iphone Mail Problems

+*Why cant i send email from my iphone? Everytime i do it, it says "The connection to the outgoing server faild."*+

tpav3,
What email provider are you using? It may be that your email provider does not allow you to send mail from outside of their network.
As a workaround, you can use your provider's outgoing mail server as shown in the section titled "Configuring iPhone mail for EDGE":

IPhone 3G problems with iOS 4

I just updated to iOS4 on my iPhone 3G. I've had some major issues... First off, anytime I tried to restore from a backup, it would get stuck in a boot loop. I had to start from scratch again. Second, It crashes randomly when I try to sync, use it for a while, or when it auto-sleeps. Thirdly, none of my contacts will pull down from MobileMe; everything else will, mail contacts etc. Anyone have a solution for any of these problems? It also looks like, now that I checked, that the iPhone crashes when syncing contacts during the sync because I tried to manually pull them from address book instead of MobileMe. And, when I open up free memory, it says that I only have 5 MB of RAM available on the device. What's going on??? Luckily my iPhone 4 is coming in on thursday and I only have to deal with this for a couple of more days.

So tonight I successfully updated my iphone 3gs to ios4. Trying to be nice, I was going to update my dad's 3g after he went to sleep so he could wake up to the new update. no good deed goes unpunished.
So I plugged in his phone and it told me there was an update available, so I sat and waited while it downloaded. Once done, it was automatically starting the update. It first said it was backing up the iphone (which took forever). Then, to my surprise, it said it was restoring the iphone software and firmware. I was scared but then it said it was restoring the music and apps, so i figured it was restoring everything it had just taken so long to back up.
I waited and once it was done, the phone was updated with the new features but was back to it's factory settings. It had no contacts, no calendar events, no email was set up, no notes.
However, it did have the latest photos if I am remembering correctly.
So I frantically restored the phone to the latest back up, which I assumed would be from a couple of hours ago, but it turned out to be from January 17, 2010. I didn't sync the phone before starting the update because I didn't while updating my 3gs earlier, and all went well then.
So now the phone has lost anything that was added to it after January 17, 2010. Including the recent pictures that were still on the phone when it was restored to its factory settings earlier.
WHAT HAPPENED? CAN I FIX IT?
if the phone spent so long backing up before the update then why isn't there a back up file for it?
I am very desperate. my dad is a businessman who had a lot of important contacts and events stored in his phone. He wakes in 15 minutes at 5:00 am and I am just awaiting his anger when he finds a chunk of his data missing.
please help me.

Mail problem with iOS 7.0.6

Since downloading the latest iOS update, 7.0.6, on my iPhone last week, when I delete mail from my office email or my gmail and send it to Trash (we use Outlook 2003), I find the email coming back into my inbox on my phone (but not in Outlook) almost everyday.
I try to dlete what's in the trash box frequently, at least once per week.
Is this a known glitch and if so, is there anything being done about it? I have another friend who advised me he is having the same problem.

Please post in the iPhone or iOS forum - this is the Mac OS Mavericks forum. (I've asked the hosts to relocate it)

HT4623 Iphone Updating Problems (To IOS 6)

When I update my iphone to IOS 6 using the Macbook Air, After updating the version, The Macbook and the Iphone says it failed, We can no longer activate the Iphone, How can I fix this? Please reply!

possible causes:
1. Your antivirus is blocking access to gs.apple.com.
2. Your phone is jailbroken.
3. Your computer has been used at some time in the past to jaibreak some iOS device (not necessarily the phone with the problem), and its network database was corrupted by the hacking software that was used.
4. Apple's activation servers are down (very rare, and never for more than an hour or so).
For 1. try disabling your antivirus.
For 2. & 3. you need to go somewhere other than an apple forum for help. Although you can try deleting lines containing gs.apple.com from your "hosts" file on your computer.

How can I fix my mail problem?

I have a Macbook Pro running OS X Snow Leopard 10.7.5. My mail app is constantly asking me to re-enter my password, also there is checkbox that says, "Remember this password in my keychain". By the way I am using a Yahoo mail account. First I tried restarting the app, I recieved a few emails and then again it asked me for my password. I also tried deleting the account and signing in again. Same as before a few emails sent and recieved until the notice popped up again. This problem does not occur on my iPhone or my iPad. If I ignore the notice for a few minutes, the computer starts speaking and says, "Mail needs your attention". This does not happen with any of the other accounts logged in to the same app. I am not sure if it is the mail server or a problem with the app. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please help?

Search this site,
many Yahoo users have problems, you are among them.

Maverick as a "Fix" for Mail Problems

I am running Lion 10.7.5 My Apple Mail randomly fails to place a "Sent" message in the "Sent" folder, yet the e-mail goes through. More likely to happen with larger files, but not exclusively. Applecare has tried to help, but they were stumped as well. It has been suggested that I install Maverick to fix this most annoying problem. Anyone like to comment on changing to Maverick as a solution???

The mail account this happens in is my iCloud account. I also have a Roadrunner account, but I have never caught this problem there.

IPhone 4S problems after IOS 7.0.4 install

Hi all,
I installed IOS 7.0.4 OTA onto my iPhone 4S..
Install went fine, but now i'm stuck with loads of problems that I didn't have with IOS 7.0.3
Facebook keeps stalling
Alarm doesn't seem to be working
General usage of the phone seems sluggish
Poor reception and connectivity.
First the WiFi couldn't find my router (sat right next to airport device and currently using it on my laptop) and now it is greyed out.
Infuriating! Any solutions?

I found a "solution" that works for me but isn't really great.
I tested a couple of different configurations, reset and so on. The battery life is nearly the same like in 7.0.3 until I set up the IMAP connection to my third-party email provider. From this moment on it goes like 1% every ten minutes. When I set up the third-party email provider via POP3 and push every 15min it's almost the same. Although the device should go to standby again after fetching emails, it looks like it stays "active" which can be seen at the Usage.
In 7.0.3 my Usage was like 5hrs on screen time at 60 hrs standby until I needed to recharge. In 7.0.4 it was 15hrs on screen time at 18hrs standby - and I didn't change the way I actually used the device!
My solution was to set up the POP3 connection to the third-party email provider on manual.
Now the Usage displayed is more or less like in 7.0.3 again - but it is really annoying to check for emails manually.
Maybe this solution could also work for you. Feedback would be great.

IPad & IPhone Mail problem

For ages now, I have used my Ipad and iPhone to access my emails on their Mail app.
Yesterday and still today I can't access my BT emails on my Ipad or Iphone accept for through Safari. I keep on getting server and password errors. It seems to be a common problem recently with other users having the same problem. I have googled it and done everything I have found but it still doesn't work. I have changed my password, restarted the Ipad, deleted the email account re entered the account. But the only way I can access my emails is by setting it up on my Ipad as an " other" email account. The problem with this is I have various folders I use in my BT account which this method doesn't give me access to like it use to when set up as a yahoo type email account.
Is there a solution out there that will allow me to get my emails and folders as I use to ?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sorry I will try but can't see that helping, because I get the same errors when I switch off WiFi on my IPhone and try over 3G.
What happens in full is.
I go in to the mail on my ipad. It refreshes and pulls off my me.com (apple) emails it then goes for my BT emails.
1st Message is B.T. password missing so I type in my BT password
2nd message is a domain 1032 error and asks for password again.
3rd Message is server unavailable try later
I checked and double checked my password was in my settings, I also read some advice saying to reset password, which I've done and still the same error.
I have tried deleting and setting up again and I have tried numerous restarts and even a restore all resulting in the same error.
Like I said I have also tried setting it up as "other" which works but with limited ability as it doesn't show my folders in my BT account. I can access my BT email via Safari without any problem. I just like the mail app and function which brings a couple of email address together.
From what I have read its a Apple fault and doesn't appear to be a BT one.
