IPad mail app displays blank screen, then crashes

When I go to my aPad mail app, there is just a blank screen, After a few seconds, the app crashes. I can't delete the app because it appears to be "built in". my mail works fine on MacBook Pro and Nook.

Hi A436,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
If you only see a blank screen in Mail, and then the app quits, try removing and re-adding your mail accounts from Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
You can use these steps from Get help with Mail on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch:
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap the affected email account.
Tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.
If the Mail app still quits unexpectedly after this step, you may need to back up your iPad and restore the iOS software:

  • I have iCloud on. Lately my native Contacts app appears blank and then crashes. Any suggestions?

    For a couple of weeks now, when I try to open my native contacts app on my iPad2, the only thing that appears is a blank screen and then afetr a few seconds the native Contacts app crashes. I have iCloud on. I am on iOS 5.0.1 and I have already tried doing some resets. The problem continues.
    More recently, when I open the native Calendar app, I get the syncing symbol twirling; however, my appointments are not being synced to my Ipad. They are being synced to my iPhone 4s

    I have tried that also, but its still doing the same thing

  • Mail Blank Screen, Then Quits

    Help!  I attempted to send an email that apparently was too large (pics). Now, every time I go into the mail app, the screen is blank, and after a few seconds, returns to my home screen.  I've done the soft & hard reboot many times.  I've also deleted and recreated the email accounts.  I have 2 email accounts on my iPad & I even deleted the one I was not using at the time I tried to send the large email.
    Short of a full factory reset, any other suggestions? Greatly appreciated!

    Thanks Brian, for your quick response. I've tried the hard re-boot (Power + Home Button) a few times, with no luck fixing the blank screen. I deleted all email accounts, tried the hard reboot, then re-added my aol email account. Interestingly, after this, my mail icon correctly shows that I have 2 new emails (so my iPad is "seeing" my aol email account). But I still get a mail blank screen when I open the iPad mail app, and it still quits after a few seconds.

  • Yahoo! email does not load through ipad Mail app.

    I'm using an iPad mini and for about 1 week now the built-in Mail app does not retrieve my Yahoo! email.  When I click on the Mail icon a blank screen comes up -- no error message, no nothing, just a blank screen.  I have to use the browser to access my Yahoo! email.  I have tried deleting and re-establishing my Yahoo! email account.  I have tried re-establishing my network connection.  I have tried restoring my iPad to factory settings.  I have switched my default email account to G-mail and I receive my email just fine through the built-in app.  But Yahoo! is my primary account and I cannot get my email.  This just started in the last week.  Prior to this I have been receiving Yahoo! email just fine through the built-in app for 3 years.  But now nothing.    Also, the mail app recognizes I have new mail because the little red number pops up when new mail arrives.  But in order to retrieve the mail I have to go to the browser, and once the mail is read, the little red number disappears.
    I contacted Yahoo! support and they suggested I set up an app password if I use two-step verification.  But I don't use two-step verification.  Then they suggested checking my IMAP settings, but IMAP settings aren't accessible (that I know of) through the iPad mini settings.  So I just re-established the network settings to no avail.
    I can't help but think this is a Yahoo! email server issue, but Yahoo! doesn't mention that.
    Someone please help!

    Yahoo mail works on my Mac desktop & laptop, plus my iPad 2.

  • Mail app displays the wrong Inbox when you open it.

    This problem can be easily reproduced if you have more than one email account configured in iOS 4.x
    It should be extremely simple to fix with the next update. I see that this same problem has been mentioned before, but I couldn't update that thread because it's "archived." If you want Apple to fix this, please report the issue to Apple using one or more of the links below:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html (not sure if iPad Mail app is affected)
    Here's what I submitted...
    Subject:
    Simple software design issue in Mail app.
    Feedback Type:
    Design/Ease of Use
    Comments:
    Thanks for your work on making iOS better and better with each update! There is no option to provide general iOS feedback, so I'll submit this under "iPhone" and "iPod." I'm currently using the latest iOS (4.3.1).
    The native Mail app in iOS has had the Unified Inbox feature since iOS 4.0, which is very useful. However, there is a minor design flaw that could be easily resolved with a software update.
    My setup:
    I have 3 Exchange accounts on my device (Hotmail, Gmail[Default], Work). The Hotmail Inbox is empty at least 98% of the time because my Gmail account periodically downloads the messages. The only reason I have the Hotmail account entered on my device is to make sure I can see a message in "All Inboxes" even before my Google account retrieves it. On my device, the Gmail account is set as default for Mail and Contacts.
    The problem:
    I never intentionally select the Inbox for the Hotmail account because it should almost always be empty. I would simply view "All Inboxes." Still, half the time I open the Mail app, it shows the empty Hotmail Inbox. This is very annoying!
    I finally figured out how to reproduce it consistently:
    (must have more than one account configured)
    1) Launch the Mail app and back-up to the screen that shows the list of accounts / Inboxes (I usually try to leave it here when I'm done, hoping to see that screen the next time I open Mail).
    2) Without selecting a specific account or Inbox, push the Home button to exit the Mail app.
    3) Kill the Mail process from the multi-tasking menu.
    4) Open Mail again
    Mail will show whichever Inbox comes immediately after "All Inboxes", even if it's not your default account. In my case, it starts in the empty Hotmail Inbox every time...a folder that I never intentionally select. Each time, I have to go back to the list and tap "All Inboxes."
    So, if I leave Mail on the root screen before killing the process, it consistently displays the wrong Inbox the next time I open it. If I select an Inbox or "All Inboxes," it will remember that selection and show me that screen the next time I open Mail.
    What it should do:
    When Mail doesn't know which Inbox to display, it should...
    A. Start on the root screen with the list of accounts and Inboxes (preferred option).
    or B. Start in "All Inboxes" (secondary preference).
    or C. Start in the Inbox of the default account (not preferred, but better than showing an empty/unused Inbox).
    Thank you!

    Try this...
    Launch the Mail app.
    Navigate to the "Mailboxes" page (the page that lists all of your accounts).
    Tap "Edit" in the top right corner.
    Scroll down to the bottom section of the page, titled "ACCOUNTS".
    Drag the triple-bars on the right to reorder the accounts listed. The first account listed will be the one that the app launches to.
    Hope this helps, I went crazy trying to figure that out and it worked for me.

  • Ipad mail app quits on launch. Help? Any solutions?

    IPad mail app quits on launch. Help? Any solutions?

    Try quitting the Mail app like I describe and then reset your iPad. Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. The reset the iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.

  • Ipad mail app not responding

    ipad mail app is not responding. The twirling circle just keeps going and nothing happens with the app, doesn't download any mail. WiFii is connected and working. I can go through the browser to gmail on the ipad and see messages but the mail app isn't working. Would like to reinstall it but it's not possible to delete it because it comes pre-installed on the ipad.

    You can force quit it.
    Double tap the home button. This will bring up a single row of app icons on the bottom of the screen. Find the mail one, hold down on it until it wiggles with a - sign in a red circle. Tap on that (doesn't delete, it quits it).
    Click the home button again to exit that mode and then reopen your app. See if that clears it up.
    What is your mail client? If it's yahoo, you may be experiencing one of their random outages.....they have been upgrading their service for months and when they're working on the part of the data base that holds your account it'll mess up until they stop messing with it.

  • Is there a way to set the iPad Mail app to only get email manually, not automatically when the app is opened?

    I usually don't use my iPad Mail app to check my email, but sometimes I go into the Mail app just to send a test email or check an attachment in the Sent folder or some such, and every time I enter the app, Mail checks for new email. Which means it ends up downloading five hundred emails or so if I haven't been to the app in a while. Annoying! I haven't been able to find a setting that will stop Mail from checking for new Mail when I go into the app; is there such a setting?

    You can turn mail off in the settings but then you can't use it for anything, including the "test" that you want to perform.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Account Name>Mail>Off. That totally turns off the mail account.
    As long as mail is turned on and you launch the app, it will look for an download new mail.

    That's nonsense, if you look at the settings you will see you can put the entire device into Arabic if you want, as well as type and read Arabic emails and other docs.  The font is there, but for some reason the encoding is botched, either by the app or the place sending the email to the iPad.

    What system?
    What version of PageMaker?
    Can you open the PageMaker app ok?
    If so, what happens if you then use File > Open? (Not double click)

  • Stop email checking when first entering iPad Mail app?

    Whenever I enter the iPad Mail app, it automatically downloads my messages even though I have all my fetch settings set to "manual". Is there a way to disable this? I only want to fetch messages when I say so. For example, in Mac OS Mail, I check my email manually -- when I first launch the Mac OS Mail app, nothing happens until I click "Get Mail".
    I'd like to have a little more control with iPad Mail. Any ideas?

    even though I have all my fetch settings set to "manual"
    There seems to be several places to set this ... did you set them all
    to manual.
    I did, and yes, I still have the problem you mention, the iPad seems
    to always keep open the connection which means that it shuts out
    my other devices from connection to email because of server resource
    contention.
    It is funny that the email should be designed this way. It ought to
    be fully manual because of the nature of the use of the device, and
    the nature of the intermittent wifi connections. There is no point to
    keep it open if one is moving around and the network connection keeps
    going in and out, or being lost.
    I like the fully manual idea, I click the mailbox I want to look at. It
    shows me the mail, highlights the new ones, and then I can view or
    not, and when I am done it all shuts down, freeing resouces on the
    server and being a good citizen, like all Apple devices ought to be.
    This is behaving like Outlook Express or something!

  • Ios7 iPad Mail App Using 2.3 GB???

    My ios7 iPad mail app is using 2.3 GB despite deletion of all mail from all accounts. Why? How do I correct?
    Many thanks,

    Hi Rosesatt,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know that situations like this can be very frustrating and you have already done a great job with troubleshooting already. One further step that I would recommend would be forcing the Mail application to close and then open it fresh. Please use the attached article as a guide.

  • My iPad only has a blank screen, it will not open at all. I tried to restore and that did nothing. I am not sure how to proceed. It is charged.

    My iPad only has a blank screen. If you press the two buttons to try to get it to restart all you get is a faint light for al few seconds and then it goes back to a black screen. I did try to restore by hooking up to my mac, but I still have nothing.

    First thing to try is a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    Hold those buttons a long time before letting them go. Also it might be best to leave the iPad on the charger overnight before resetting it.
    If this doesn't work, it's time to make an appointment at an Apple store for a Consultation.
