Ipad mail issues....

Hi all,
I have been using my ipad Mail account for two different hotmail accounts and an academic one too. Only issue is I can't seem to be able to create sub folders on my ipad.
Does anyone know how you can do this? Doing it on my academic account (ie it's a .ac.uk account) is most important for me. Though looking at the uni's email client on my imac, it doesn't allow you to create sun folders on there either....
any help would be great!!

At the moment you can't do it directly in the Mail app. If they're IMAP type accounts then you should be able to login to your accounts on a browser and create them there, and they should then appear in the Mail app. If they're POP type accounts (which it sounds like they might be if you can't create them) then unfortunately you're stuck with what you've got.

IPad Mini mail issues

Just switch from ipad 3 and restored from iCloud. That was a mess s I had to delete old apps that shouldn't have installed. Now my mail only shown up for a few accounts. Other accounts keep asking for a password which i entered numerous times. Then is says "connecting" in the status area, but no mail shows up. I tried resting network setting, no fix. I really don't want to start this ipad from scratch because this is exactly why I paid for the iCloud upgrade...to restore my settings the way I left them.

Nevermind the mail issue. I had to reset my macmini server.

Someone is probably sending spam with your address forged on the To: line. Could be one of your old contacts with a Windows machine has a virus that's doing it. It's also possible your e-mail account has been hacked, though I'd think such a hacker would be a bit more purposeful.

Annotated PDF from Preview will not display annotations in iPad mail

I have an Annotated PDF from Preview will not display annotations in iPad mail, yet, it will display them on my Macbook Air. I confirmed this with another iPad user. Same results. Any ideas.

I had the same issue. iAnnotate PDF will display your annotations made in preview and allow you to annotate on the iPad. It is a great app, I and quite happy with it.

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!

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

IPad Mail closes immediately after opening

After 3 weeks of using the iPad Mail, today Mail will open for about 3 seconds and then close. I've restarted the iPad, synced, checked for updates.
Any suggestions?

So it does seem to be related to mail provider (Ntlworld seems to be a consistent offender) however I think it's a bit unfair to suggest it's the mail provider at fault. The email app should not crash irrespective of what is occurring with the mail provider. This problem has all the hallmarks of having been introduced as a direct consequence of 3.2.2 and needs to be sorted by apple. Apple then need to provide an advisor to mail providers if there are particular issues which cause conflicts with the iPad.
As a side note, my Ntlworld account has been migrated in the background to gmail (a commercial deal between virgin media and google earlier this year). If anyone else with virgin media has not been migrated to the gmail platform it would be interesting to know as would so of the other legacy virgin media email accounts such as virgin.net. It may simply be a consequennce of differing routes and a dresses being reported by the pop3 accounts, in which case apple will have a little more info to work up a fix.
MeanWhile I have disabled the email account in settings and accessing Gia the web portal which us actually very nice on the iPad)

IPad Mail - Maximum Attachment Size Limit (Sending)

Is there a maximum size limit for attachments that the iPad Mail App can send?
We have an iPad connected to an Exchange server through our internal wireless network. Mail is received by it (even with very large attachments) but if an email is sent with one or more attachments that total over 10MB, the email stays in outbox with an error "Cannot Send Mail" "An error occurred while delivering this message."
I've checked all of the limits on the Exchange server but these are all set to 20MB. Smaller attachments (6MB, 8MB, etc) work without any issues. I've searched these forums and around the internet but haven't been able to find anything about this and nothing about where any such limit would be configured.
Thanks in advance for any help

Done it! My colleague found an article here: http://www.i-tekpro.com/BlogArchive/Exchange2007/Max-Message-Size-Increase-Excha nge-2007-CAS.htm that discussed how to change a limit in an Exchange ActiveSync config file that seems to have been tripping us up. We changed the limit and got the email through. It's worth noting that this also applies to Exchange 2010, not just 2007.
Many thanks for your help with this,
Barry

IPad mail not downloading -pop

It works for a couple of days then stops receiving new mail it says "checking mail" and updated even thought i know i have unopened mail on the server.
My blackberry and laptop get them but not the iPad.
I have to delete the account and recreate it to get my mail to start working again.
I have another pop account on the iPad and it continues to get mail, no problem.
The iPad is less than 2 weeks old and i'm totally frustrated with this... If I cant use it as i intended it's worthless to me.
I have successfully used third party apps and they get the mail when the iPad mail stops receiving (did that to confirm the iPad was working) it's apparently an issue with the iOS mail app.

I think it's good to wait for iOS5, but the answer maybe could not be there, I have some clients that had the same problem as you.
They were iPhone, Android, etc, they shared just one thing in common, none of them were the "common" e-mails (gmail, hotmail, yahoo, etc) they were from "private" domains.
I research it, did a lot's a things, asked for help to friends, google it, nothing. Well, I did "find" one answer and it was on Apple knowledge base (it is official). They say to do this and that (delete account, create again, restore, etc) and the last option was:
"Delete that account and create a gmail e-mail"
And you know what? I did that and it worked
I even had the tech guys from the Cell providers to see this problem, but even them didn't find a solution (just the apple final solution).
There as to be some incompatibility between some mail domain accounts and apple mail, but were

IPad Mail strange text encoding - preview and body different

When receiving some messages in iPad Mail, the body text uses wrong text coding. There is no specific rule, it's ot messages coming from one specific server but from a number of different ones.
The strange hink is that in the preview pane on the left, the text is presented fine (with all special characters correctly dsiplayed) but the body on the right is wrong.
Where would i find text coding settings? How come the iPad knows what's there but displays it wrong? Did anybody meet this eslewhere, mys case is a Czech language (Central European encoding). I didn't see this on my personal iPad ever. My colleague gets frustrated...
See attached screenshot how it looks like. (Which I can't attach, the uploader script ain't working in Safari... will try later)
Thanks for any advice.

There aren't any on an iOS device. The only thing you could try would be to switch the OS language to Czech and see if it made a difference, but I doubt it will. Best report the issue to Apple:

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 problem.

iPad Mail hasn't uploaded Yahoo Mail since 7:51 AM today. Anyone else have this issue today?

A lot of people have been unable to access Yahoo e-mail on their iPhones or iPads. My wife’s iPad was not downloading Yahoo mail, although her iPhone was. Both used IOS 8.2. We tried deleting the account several times and troubleshooting all of the other settings. The problem appears to have been that allowing the IOS to automatically create the account on the iPad resulted in the wrong settings for the incoming server. The following procedure, pieced together from two websites, fixed the problem for us. So far, so good.
https://portal.smartertools.com/kb/a2659/configure-imap-for-iphone-or-ipad.aspx
https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mobile-mail/imap-server-settings-sln4075.html
On the iPhone, tap Settings.
Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap your Yahoo account, then delete it.
Tap Add Account.
Tap Other.
Tap Add Mail Account.
Complete the Name, Address (email address), Password and Description fields.
Click Next.
Ensure IMAP is selected.
Enter the following incoming mail server information:
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 993
Requires SSL: Yes
Hostname is mail.yahoo.com.
Username is your full email address
Password is the same password used to access webmail.
Enter the following outgoing mail server information:
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires SSL
Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port: 465 or 587
Requires SSL: Yes
Requires authentication: Yes
Username is your full email address
Password is the same password used to access webmail. It may have been entered for you.
Tap Next.
The iPhone will establish an SSL connection to your IMAP and SMTP servers.
That’s all!

IPad Mail threads are organized by Subject. Can Mail on iPad be adjusted to organize Threads by Sender?

iPad Mail in iOS7 seems to have only one option for organizing by Threads. It defaults to organizing by Subject. Is there a way to switch Threads to be organized by Sender?

Hmm, yes, I have exactly the same issue. Apple mail upgraded my IMAP account to an IMAP Exchange account, and now I have messages that stay unread until I unorganize/organize by conversation. Other devices that use IMAP do know that the message has been read...
Any solutions anybody?
