IOS Signature Settings for Multiple Email Accounts causes crashes and errors

Hello Everyone,
I've been having troubles with iOS email signature for severals years from iOS 4 (?) through iOS 7 on everything ranging from an iPad2, iPad3, IPad Air, and various iPhones.  I'm currently on an iPad Air 128GB WiFi running iOS 7.1.2.
I have about 12 email accounts. I have it set to a unique signature per account. Whenever I try to scroll the list of signatures in the settings app, it will often have greyed out areas where a signature is supposed to be (especially after adding a new account). Other accounts will blur together and overlap each other. Very often the whole settings app crashes. Once the crashes start, they happen more frequently and you basically have to Power Off and Restart the iPad to get it back to a somewhat stable state.
I've come to accept that the Mail Signatures is broken and not stable. But maybe I'm just doing it wrong. So, I ask you great and wonderful Apple Community: Any suggestions? Or just keep on like I've been doing for the last several years?
Thank you!
Paul Holje

this crash has been present since ios6 (apparently). it's apparently caused by a buffer overflow (i've not yet examined the crash files i've been generating) because the engineers never tested use cases such as yours or mine.
a painful workaround is to disable all your email accounts but one, edit its signature, then disable it, and enable the next one, and so on. ios saves the correct signature for each account and the settings app crash does not occur.
hope this helps

    How do I set individual sound alerts for multiple email accounts?

    Here: http://www.guidingtech.com/15275/get-different-notifications-per-mail-account-io s-6/
    Long and short of it, the settings can be individually changed under Notifications. Select Mail and then the account you want to change the sound to.

    Knowing who is your email provider would be a good starting point.
    Your ISP?
    One of the big free providers? e.g. googlemail, live mail/outlook.com/hotmail, yahoo, gmx/1and1?
    Your webhost?

  • Can i have different alert tones for Multiple email accounts?

    Would like to have different alert tones for each email account. Is there a way to accomplish it?

        Hi there, DawgFan1980!
    I understand the purpose of the different notification sounds. The iPhone only allows 1 tone for e-mail accounts. At this time, this cannot be changed.
    Thank you,

  • Auto signatures for multiple email accounts-iPhone

    I currently have both my personal and work emails accounts set up on my iPhone. I created an automatice signature which I want to use only on my work account, but it also shows on when I send an email from my personal account. Does anyone know how to use an automatic signature for only one account? Thanks!

    there's no fully automatic version available that I have found however there's an App called @Signature which allows you to create unique signatures for mail accounts or even have different signatures for the same account.
    All you have to remember is that when you create an email, you use the App rather than mail as it inserts the correct signature into a blank email created by Mail. It still defaults to one email account so its far form perfect but at least it stores the correct signatures.

  • Multiple Signatures, for Multiple Email Accounts

    I've seen in other topics that we can only have 1 signature in the iPhone Mail Application. Any 'new' work-arounds, save for manually typing in a signature in a 2nd, or 3rd email account?
    Thanks

    I recently saw news of an app to enable this, I think. The workflow was something like you open up the app, select a signature, then hit a button and it takes you to Mail and pre-pastes the signature into a new mail message. So I don't think it would work for replies.
    I'm afraid I have no idea where I saw it discussed. Search the App Store?

  • Managing contacts for multiple email accounts

    I am (as of yesterday) a convert from a Blackberry to the iPhone 4s (IOS 5.0.1) (32GB)
    I have had iTune (10.5) on my computer for a long time, but strictl to manage an iPod for email accounts - no contacts or calendars involved. And I have never played with iCloud before.
    When I purchased my iPhone at BestBuy, they copied my BB contacts to my iPhone local contacts.
    FWIW, on my BB, I used BB Desktop Manager to synchronize selected Outlook contacts to my BB.
       Outlook, in turn, was used to talk to Exchange on my corporate network.
    What I would like to do is a follows:
    a)     Use Exchange, Gmail and Yahoo email all come to my iPhone.  This is already being done.
    b)     Using iTunes (or whatever) sychronize selected Outlook contacts to my iPhone
                  I am assuming this is different than using the iPhone to synchronize Exchange contacts via Push.  And I don't want to sync all 5K Exchange contacts with my iPhone, just the ~500 selected contacts in Outlook.  All togethter there are about 1000 contacts in Outlook, 500 of which were marked with a sync category.
    c)     Bonus points if I could take my Gmail and Yahoo contacts (all personal and mostly not in Outlook and certainly not in Exchange) and get them synched to my iPhone as well.
                 I noted that there was an option to synch Yahoo with the phone and keep (at the risk of duplicates) local contacts.  I did not see such an option for Gmail.  What I did see was that there was an option to call Gmail an Exchange Account, and then synch contacts; but only if I really didn't have a Microsoft Exchange account defined, which I do.
    How, if at all would iCloud fit into this picture

  • Issue having seperate data pushes for multiple email accounts

    I've always had gmail set up through my phone. I love push and don't receive any issues using it.I recently added a 2nd, work email (exchange) to my phone. However, I'd prefer to manually check the exchange account while leaving my gmail on push. I can't seem to figure it out though. My best guess was to go:
    settings>mail>fetch new data>advanced.
    I have my gmail on push and my exchange on manual. I would assume the advance settings override the push and fetch settings on the primary "fetch new data" screen. However, nothing seems to be working the way I want it to. Sometimes my phone will auto-update my exchange, sometimes i'll get gmail belated, etc.
    If anyone could please advise the proper settings for both the primary screen as well as the advance settings in order to have my exchange on manual and gmail on push.
    Thanks

    Note sure what G mail is, but if it involves another isp email provider not interested, I have multiple accounts as a garbage dump for spam possibilities too much spam on one account bye bye. Usually 2 main email accounts though. btw, not a memory issue either. still plenty left. Was looking at the contacts thread and there is receiving/sending issues with email since 2.0 update anyway.

  • Can I set up alerts for multiple email accounts? (...

    I have two hotmail accounts set up on my Nokia E71.
    For some reason I only get alerts for the second account I added.
    I have gone through every setting/preferance menu I can think of to see if there's a difference but can find none.
    Can anyone think of what I'm missing? If anything, I would have expected an alert for the original email.
    I want to make sure I am getting the maximum benefit and use out of this phone and email alerts would be great (I phoned my carrier's tech support and they said the E71 has NO alerts for any mails so that was clearly incorrect)

    Are you using the built-in email client?
    If you are, double check the "New Email Alerts" option. This is under <Settings> -> <E-mail> -> <choose mailbox> -> <User Settings> -> <New Email Alerts>

  • Best setup for multiple email accounts

    I have 8 email accounts in my iphone 3G and it seems that many times it gets "hung" up on the first one (gmail) because it just says "connecting". The only way to solve it is to turn the phone off and then on again, which I'm doing several times a day. For now, I have every account set to manual fetch. Any suggestions on how to solve this issue, and the best way to setup the fetching, etc.?

  • Best practice for multiple email accounts

    Hello
    I have set up a Mac mini server with virtual hosts. So, how is the best practice to set up email accounts for each host? I want to have emails like
    [email protected]
    [email protected]
    and
    [email protected]
    [email protected]
    and so on.
    Should I create groups for each domain, and then user "info" and "contact" in each group. Or just add a user something like "infomysite1" and have a second short name "[email protected]"
    Advices are welcome
    Best regards, Magnus

    If user1@domain1 and user1@domain2 are the same person then you just add the other domain to Hosting-> Local Host Aliases. Same user will get all mail for both domains.
    However, I'm presuming that the user1@domain1 and user1@domain2 are two separate people (i.e., same name but different mail account). If so...
    See Chapter: A Mail Service Virtual Host in Apple's Mail Services Administration PDF download at http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/resources/documentation.html
    Also, see MakingVirtual_Mail_Users_in_OS_XServer.pdf from http://osx.topicdesk.com (downloads sections)
    The topicdesk pdf was written for 10.5 server but I think it is still applicable to 10.6 (but follow the Apple doc just in case). However, it is good for explaining why you might want postfix-style aliases rather than the simpler Apple server-style aliases.

  • Multiple mail accounts causes random logon errors

    I've been using my iPhone to download mails from GMail for about 8 months now without any problems.
    The GMail account is setup to use POP3 (i think... can't check it because the iphone hides some settings... IMAP is blank...)
    Then today, i added an Exchange account using my domain account at my workplace.
    After about 4 hours i then wanted to check for mails, but then my GMail account complained about wrong password (credentials)
    since my latest change was to add the Exchange account, i thought that it was the problem, so i disabled the account without luck.
    5 minutes later, i enabled the Exchange account again... and Gmail+Exchange is working
    excuse me... but *** !?

  • HT4623 I updated to iOS 6.1, now the mail application will not load. My settings for each email account are still in there, I have synched several times, and rebooted several times. Sill nothing. Why is there no support for upgrade issues ??

    I refuse to pay for support for an issue caused by an upgrade. That is just ridiculous.

    I'm having the exact same problem.  When I select an email the mail application pauses for a couple seconds, the screen goes black and then I go to the home screen.  Have you found anything more on this issue?  Didn't have this problem before upgrading to 6.1.

  • What re my settings for multiple icloud accounts

    My original icloud/apple acct is associated with my iMac & iPhone.  Wife has icloud/apple  account for her MacBookPro & her iPhone.  Want to sync just one combined calendar and one combined address book between all 4 devices.  I created a third icloud/apple account for this, but I am not sure of the settings I need to make on the devices so that the information is not lost in the process.  What should my settings on my devices be so that I don't lose my calendar & address book info

    the information on that link doesnt work.  my icloud address is [email protected] not [email protected].. although i tried both on my galaxy note 2.  either way the server information is not verifying.
