Iphone 4 mail icon shows 3 emails, but do not show in the inbox

I set up my new iphone 4 with my email and all the mail came in yesterday just fine. Today, the icon updates when a new email comes in but when I go to the inbox, it isn't showing. It goes through the update process but nothing updates.
Is there a setting for this or is there a problem?? How can I see my emails?

I have had this same issue with my iPhone 4 running 4.0, 4.01 and 4.02. My wife has the same issue with her iPhone 4. We are both running on the same mobileme account. We do the same trick where we flip between folders to make the email messages show up.

  • I can only see the welcome to mail screen (iphone 5).  I have set up mail successfully because it shows mail icon with messages.  But I cant get into the mail box!

    I can only see the welcome to mail screen (iphone 5).  I have successfully set up the mail because it shows mail icon with messages (104 messages).  But I cant get into the actual mail box to read them.  Pls help!

    The received emails should show in two locations:
    1. In the All Inboxes tab of Mail.
    2. The Inbox for each mail account,
    If your emails are not showing in these locations try quitting the mail app and then reset your iPhone.
    Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal.
    To reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • My iphone 5 is receiving email but will not connect to the internet

    I am receiving/sending emails but cannot connect to the internet.  I already did a shut down (holding down the Home Button and Shut off at the same time). What else can I do?

    Sending and receiving email means you are connecting to the Internet.
    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    Also check Settings > General > Restrictions and make sure you don't have Restrictions enabled and if you do that Safari is not being blocked.

  • TS2756 I have always been able to tether my Windows PC to my iPhone 5 Internet. Lately, it connects but will not connect to the Internet. The Internet is working fine on my phone. iOS 7.0.4 Any ideas?

    I have tried resetting network settings, resetting the phone and the PC, uninstalling iTunes, turning off the firewall and has no luck

    Do this. Go to Apple menu / System Preferences / Network.
    In the left column, click Wi-Fi. Next click Assist me, then Assistant. Follow the on screen instructions.

  • Crnt FF: 1 of 5 e-mails loses all e-mails upon viewing but shows qty of mails are there. Search can find all of them, just won't show in the InBox

    1 of 5 email ACCOUNTS receives mail OK, but as soon as you leave that account and come back, nothing is shown in the Inbox. The Status Bar however, shows that there are 32 e-mails there although the Inbox is devoid of any text.
    Using Search, I can find ALL 32 emails by searching for a word in the subject field or the body fields. The mails ARE there! They just do not display in the Inbox.
    So ... how the heck do I get the Inbox to show its contents again?
    This was working until day before yesterday when I read an e-mail from a trusted source, and it automagically disappeared, along with all the others in the inbox. ALL other accounts are working just fine.
    I tried creating a new email account but it wouldn't let me, giving me an error that the "incoming already exists". No number or anything; it come when I click DONE in the creation process. The new account will not write to the disk.
    I have run NOrton AV, AVG, MalWare Bytes, Windows Defender, Spybot and another I forget the name of right now. ALL showed nothing found after each success live scan. I am reasonable sure I do not have any malware.
    The e-mails in that account are pretty important and I do not want to lose them if possible; they are for a high school 50th Reunion planning committee.
    Windows 7 HP, Dell XPS L702, 6 Gig RAM, Intel i7 Processor and lots of disk space. I have also compacted with no change. The messages are all still there, but nothing shows in my inbox; it's empty. I only see them using Search the Messages for terms I know are in them.
    Happy to provide any other info needed to evaluate this. Oh, the account Sends OK too; it's a POP3 account setup.
    Any help would be most appreciated!

    I apologize; I should have mentioned I already tried that, multiple times
    It's almost like, since the messages show a qty in the status bar, that their text has been changed to white, the background color. But when i use Search Messages to get at what's there, the text color is black as it should be.
    Any further comments welcomed.
    Thanks much

  • Clicking links in apple mail opens firefox, but does not go to the actual link.

    Clicking on links in Apple Mail opens/switches to Firefox, but does not go to the page of the actual link. It just loads the homepage or stays on whatever page I was on before. Links work fine when I switch my default browser to Safari, so I think the problem is with Firefox, not Mail. Downloading the latest version of Adobe Flash seemed to temporarily fix the problem, but it stopped working within a day or two.

    Here's a link to a thread that solved the problem for me:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12552345&#12552345
    The culprit was that the Flash plugin needed updating for FF. That was it.
    Go to Firefox; Preferences; General (tab); Add-ons; Manage Add-ons; Plugins.
    I clicked on Find Updates and immediately updated the Flash plugin.
    Hope this helps others.

  • HT4528 My iphone 4s is connected to my wifi but will not connect to internet

    My Iphone 4S is connected to my wifi but will not connect to the internet.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Try going to settings>general>reset>reset network settings. Once you've reset your network settings you will need to be able to plug in your wifi/router password to your wifi appliance. (password to wifi router)
    Good luck.

  • TS3899 I have an iPhone 5 and it shows on the Mail Icon that I have over 3,000 emails to read but the number continues to increase even when I have read the email.  I thought  once you have read an email it drops off the count of "new emails"

  • Mail icon shows (1) unread msg, but all msgs are read

    Yesterday, my mail icon showed one unread message. When I clicked on the app, there were no new messages, but now the (1) won't go away. How do I get the (1) to go away?
    null

    I also have the badge showing unread emails at a higher number than emails in my inbox. I think it may be because i deleted a number of emails from iPhone in box without opening them because i had already read them on my Mac. How can i reset. Home/sleep buttons don't do the job. Other remedies?

  • Mail icon shows new messages but cannot access them

    I am setting up my email account on my new iPod Touch.  Put in all the info, the account is verified, the mail icon shows 50 unread messages, but when I tap the icon I see the same old list of mail services, iCloud, MS Exchange, but not my account.  My mail service, an independant, supports pop and iMac so I have set it up as both and neither works.  Seems like it is logging into the account.  Any idea?

    It is covered in the Troubleshooting chapter of the iPod users Guide. It includes:
    "Restarting and resetting iPod touch
    If something isn’t working right, try restarting iPod touch, forcing an app to close, or resetting
    iPod touch.
    Restart iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger
    across the slider to turn off iPod touch. To turn iPod touch back on, hold down the On/Off button
    until the Apple logo appears. \"

  • HT3228 My mail icon shows how many I have, but there isn't any list on the left side.  I will read your answers on another computer.   I can send OK.

    My mail icon shows how many I have, but the screen is blank with no emails listed on the left side.  They used to be there.  I can send OK.
    Any suggestions?  I will read replies on another computer until this is resolved.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • Mail icon shows new mail but all mail has been read.  Won't update with phone reset.

    My mail icon shows new mail (1 currently) but I have no new mail.  I have synced phone and turned off several times to no avail.

    If you have reset your phone several times and does not fix , then restore your phone in itunes from your backup. Be sure that you have a recent backup with all items that you wanted saved, synced.
    BEFORE, you do the restore, try deleting the mail account and reaading it and see if that fixes the issue, otherwise , then do the restore.
