Ipad mail.app won't display unread msgs in subfolders on IMAP server

Mail.app on my MBP (Snow Lion) reads all the unread messages (using a smart mailbox) in the sub-folders on the IMAP server I use (shared hosting).
Mail.app on my iPad 3 (and Sparrow too for that matter) will not display All Unread Messages (my caps, as an example). If I tunnel down into a sub-folder it displays them correctly with the Unread flag but there appears to be no equivalent of the Smart Mailbox Unread Mail in mail.app SL on the iPad.
Have I missed something or does this capacity not exist in iPad's Mail.app?

My Macbook Pro Mail App won't display badges

I have a mid-2010 13" MacBook Pro, running on OSX Mavericks. About a week ago, I noticed that my emails were coming in but my mail app wasn't displaying notification badges. I would have to actually reopen the app to see if I had messages. The app is currently running on the dock. I've tried restarting the app, checked the notification preferences, etc. I can't seem to find the solution. Maybe someone out there can help me?

Do you have System Preferences,Software Update set to automatically down load updates?

IPad Mail app won't auto rotate

The iPad mail app does not auto rotate on my iPad. All the other apps rotate fine. The rotation isn't locked. And yes, I am aware that if I reset or shut down the iPad, rotation will restore. However, eventually, it always ends up locked. This is a bug of some type in the operating system. Does anyone know if Apple knows about this and intends to fix it? It is extremely annoying.

I have seen other users have the same issue, but not as a recurring problem. In light of that, I don't think that Apple would consider it a bug that needs to be fixed. Perhaps, restoring your iPad from a backup, resetting all settings, or restoring to factory settings and starting all over again would help.
But if you think that it is something that needs to be fixed.....

Ipad mail app won't send hotmail emails

I'm having trouble sending emails from my hotmail account. Every time I try it comes up with "cannot send mail - an error occurred while delivering this message"
I have try closing and reopening the app, rebooting the ipad, removing and adding the hotmail account....all did not work
Any other ideas?

I had this issue and this was what worked for me, I was using the "hotmail" option.
1. go to settings
2. go to mail, contacts, calendars
3.delete your email from device
4. click "add account"
5. there should be different account options, chose "other"
6. chose "add mail account" and do so
You should be able to send now, but you might want to check how it updates. Certain email options used "push" which lets you know you have a new email the moment you get it, much like a text message. "Other" only allows you to have "fetch" which updates every selected amount of mintues, and "Manual" which does exactly what it says.
7. It should return you to the mail, contacts, calendars page. Press "Fetch New Data"
8. there will be a list of when it will update your email. The less it updates, the easier it is on battery life. There is a manually option.
9. If you want to use the actually "Manual" Update schedule then press "Advance" then your account.
10. There you can chose "Fetch" (which I suggest if you use email a lot and there is a manual option there anyways) or "Manual"
I really hoped this helped! If it did then well....awesome.

Ipad mail app won't send Virgin emails

New iPad 3d gen won't display email attachment???

Hallo,
I have the new iPad with retina display, and I've recently noticed that the default mail app won't display the mail attchaments even though the incoming mails sport the paper clip symbol. In contrast to my iPad, my iPhone 4 opens the attachments from the same mails without any difficulty. I'll sum it up once more time to prevent any misunderstandings. The problem is not the fact that my iPad can't open the attachments but rather the attachments are nowhere to be found. This is a huge bug or what?
Ps: please don't tell me to restart my iPad or do a hard reset. Dohhhh! Thx.
Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Well duh ... I still don't understand what the heck you mean and frankly, so are there no misunderstandings - your statement makes no sense to me.
If you can open the attachments that is where they are - on the screen of the iPad - you just opened them. Where do you expect them to be?
You open the attachment and then you need a compatible app in which to save the attachment. If you are stating that the attachment opens but is not visible - that is something different. I have never seen that before.

Mail app won't show photos

This problem exists in all three new iPhone 4s's in my family: The Mail app won't display some photos attached to emails. Some photos show up, others don't. All are jpeg's with the proper .jpg appendage, all are relatively small files (approx 200kb). The ones that show up and the ones that don't are the same in all three iPhones. The photos all do show up on desktop and laptop computers. On the iPhones, in Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calenders/Load Remote Images is turned on. I tried turning the setting off, then on, tried rebooting the iPhone, nothing works.

lou tetl,
The list in iTunes under the Info tab is the list of accounts you can transfer the settings for from your computer directly to the iPhone.
It is not a list of the accounts on the iPhone, or a list of all accounts on your computer.
Hope this helps,

I updated to iOS 7 and now some of my apps won't display in landscape mode and they did before the update. Any ideas on how to fix it?

This could be from having restrictions enabled. Icons completely disappear when "restricted"

I just got an iPhone 5S, now when I try to use my old iPad the apps won't work because they are syncing with my new phone. Can I have the same account for an old iPad and a new iPhone?

Connect your iPad to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...
See the Using iTunes Section Here...

Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer

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.

Mail.app won't work properly after installing Yosemite

My "new viewer window" in Mail.app won't work after installing Yosemite. I can not access the viewer window and thus none of my email.
How can I fix this?
Mail.app v 8.0

some updates on this issue, Mail application uses the same proxy that has been set on your system (system preferences==>Network==>Advanced==>proxies). People usually use HTTP/HTTPS proxy for surfing the web. You should make sure to set SOCKS proxy as well. Mail application works with SOCKS proxy. Note that port number for SOCKS proxy is usually different from the port number for HTTP and HTTPS but the IP address of your server (apparently) is the same.
Hope this helps

My mail app won't open.

My mail app won't open. If I click on it it pulls up a blank screen and closes itself. It's an iPhone 5s running iOS 8 how do it fix it?

Reinstall iOS 8. Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings.

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,
Bill

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.
