IOS 7 on iPhone 5 - Mail problems

Updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 today, everything seems to be working fine except for Mail. When I tap the Mail app, it opens to the "Welcome to Mail" screen, and it asks me to select my mail carrier and e-mail address, password, etc, just like I did when I first set up the phone after purchase. However, when I do that, it says "That account has already been added to your iPhone". I can't get to my actual e-mail screens, the app always opens to the "Welcome to Mail" screen. Never had any problems like this before iOS 7. Anyone else experiencing this, and/or have any suggestions? I have already restarted the phone several times, but no change.

Ouch! Hope you get that solved. How frustrating. (passwords can have encoding issues - but that does not sound likely in this case)
I am having a similar problem to your initial issue with the app being stuck on the 'Welcome' screen and this is with a new phone 5S I bought yesterday AM. I set up the mail accounts on the phone manually and played with the phone all day - then came home and restored from my backup to get all my contacts etc installed. Stupid me.... (smile)
I was forced into an OS upgrade - and had some issue with the 7.01 upgrade (it was the size of the 1.4 GB download through my DSL connection) - but that finally took and everything is fine except for the mail app.
It is stuck on the Welcome screen - forcing me to setup new accounts - but those accounts already exist as seen in the Settings->General->Mail screens. I even went so far as to setup a new account for a Yahoo account I don't use. I could only get to the Yahoo mail and no others.
Very odd. I will delete the existing mail accounts (all imap so no problem, really) and reconfigure them.
Certainly hope that takes care of the situation. How unfortunate since email is perhaps the number one app I use on my phone.

I installed the ios7 in my iPhone 5 mail problem

I installed the ios7 in my iPhone 5 and now I can not see the messages receives on my Hotmail?

You don't need the iTunes app. If you can't connect to your computer that's not the reason. You connect using iTunes on your computer. Your computer must be running Snow Leopard for an iPhone 5.

IPhone 4s Mail Problem

Hi, Im facing an annoying issue with my iphone 4s which has been updated to the latest software.
I have 3 different emails which are all hotmail accounts ending in @live.co.uk
The first hotmail account which i had attatched works as normal. However, after adding 2 additional hotmail accounts i am now facing issues.
The issue is the 2 additional accounts which i have added seem to have a empty inbox. It does not retrieve the emails from thier inbox so all it displays is an empty inbox. I am Certain both emails attatched do not have empty inboxes.
Any suggestions on how this can be resolved?

I get that every once in a while on my 3GS, and that's what I do to get rid of it. Probably not a bad idea to power down the phone every so often, anyway, gets rid of any crud waiting to cause a bug.
Glad to hear that it worked for you.

HT4623 When I was update ios6 for iPhone 4 , mail and application are hung , why ?

When I was update iOS 6 for iPhone 4, mail and application are hung , why ? How I should do for that ?

They don't let you downgrade. You have to eat what Apple tells you to and think what they tell you to. If you liked the older software better than tough ****. You know what you should do?? You should throw away that garbage that Apple has sold you that they call a phone and get something by anyone else because no one else regulates what you get to do and say about your phone in such an extreme manner. Not being mean to you friend. Just know that as long as Apple is answering your questions that you will never get a definate answer and at best you will get something that you don't like but have to get used too.

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:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23199621?ac_cid=op123456#23199621
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?

IOS 6 iPhone 4 Mail App Crashes

Hi,
I upgraded my IPhone 4 to iOS 6 a day or so after the iOS 6 release. The mail app worked fine until this morning. Now when I try to launch it shows a white screen for a few seconds and then crashes. Tried all variations of hard reboot, switching phone on/off, closing all applications etc. with no joy.
My wife's iPhone 4 and my iPad 3 ( which use the same E-Mail accounts as are on my iPhone) have not as yet developed similar problems.
I have been updating apps as they become available and as far as I recall have not installed any apps recently which one would expect to impact my E-Mail.
Anyone else with similar problems or preferably suggestions as to how to fix? This is a real pain as when I am travelling I use my iPhone all the time to keep up with my E-mail.

Hi
I was able to solve this:
- Connect your iphone to your mac
- Go to iTunes
- Goto Info
- Select Sync Mail Accoints
- Select Advanced -> Replace information on this iPhone -> Mail Accounts
- Press Sync.

Problem with GarageBand for iOS 6/7 Iphone 3gs / 4

Problem with GarageBand for iOS 6/7 Iphone 3gs / 4
Hello,
On February 16, bought the GarageBand for iOS which was free and so I find and install it on my 3GS .
Take the demo: Curtain Call Demo
and within the instruments :
audio Recorder
Sampler
Smart Drums
Smart Strings
Smart Bass
Smart Keyboard
Smart Guitar
Keyboard
Drums
Guitar Amp
1.4.1 is the latest version for ios 6.
Configure my AppleID on a Iphone 4 and install the program , the version I have the Iphone 4 is the orange ( different from 3gs ) icon and put it on the AppStore : ios 2.0.1 for ios7.
With these instruments :
audio Recorder
Sampler ( to download the instrument )
Smart Drums ( to download the instrument )
Smart Strings (Download the instrument )
Smart Bass ( to download the instrument )
Smart Keyboard ( to download the instrument )
Smart Guitar
Keyboard
Drums
Guitar Amp ( to download the instrument )
and if I give what I need to restore tells me if I bought it I did not restore anything and tells me to buy :
Complete collection of GarageBand instruments and sound at a price of : € 4.49
As they are 2 different versions ? More than anything I say because I have to pay for the instruments in the 2.0.1 version of the Iphone 4 ... ?
And besides not wearing demo Demo Curtain Call : (
GarageBand 1.x If you are upgrading it using iTunes on a Mac or PC, you can restore the original collection of instruments and sounds. There is no need to buy this collection. Press "You've already purchased?" When displayed on iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
this puts on the AppStore but I have tried to restore as I wrote above, and does not work. There is nothing to restore.
regards

I've been having the same problem. However, I believe my problem is due to the 3G issues I've been having. I don't have internet access even when the 3G symbol appears, so probably my iphone keeps trying to connect to the network and has its battery drained! Have you been having the same issue?

Since I upgrade my iphone 3gs to ios 5.1, I have several problems with network and wi-fi, any solution?

Most of the time the iphone cannot reach any network and when it can, there is no data transfer, I can only make calls and sms.

Hiya, I've got a weird problem with my iPhone4. On the 'home page' of my iPhone the mail symbol tells me there's a new mail waiting for me. However, there's no new mail to be found. Does anyone know what the problem is? Thanks

This response is a little late as I just read about your problem. I have a 2012 Dodge Charger and a 2012 Chrysler Town and Country and both worked flawlessly with the iPhone 5s my wife and I had. However, we just upgraded to the iPhone 6 and Uconnect will receive calls but you cannot answer them. You can callout successfully, however. the annoyance being the inability to answer incoming calls in the HandsFree mode.

Well, this is a recurring issue for many users...a small percentage of users but still a bug. Report the issue here to Apple: www.apple.com/feedback
iOS7.0.3 will be released next week, which as of now, I know is primarily for an iMessage but hopefully it will clear up some of these email issues some are also having.

I had the same problem. My phone wasn't finding it so I tried plugging it into my laptop and it said I needed the latest iTunes which I already had.... I unplugged my phone from my laptop and did a soft reset to my phone (hold down the lock button and home button at the same time until your phone turns off) once it turns back on you should find the update... Click general... Software update. Worked for me!
