Iphone email app size

I see that my email app is 1.8gb while my google mail app is only 34mb. Why is the mail app size so big in comparison. Deleting emails seems to make no difference.

I've done that and I've also logged into gmail to delete emails and empty trash there as well.

Is iPhone email app or GMail web app better for gmail?

i'm a new iPhone user. i'm have a gmail account which i use almost exclusively through a web browser (i haven't synced it with Mail.app on my MacBook). setting up the iPhone i've used the default email app on the iPhone to check gmail (via POP). it seems to have started at the very first email i ever received 2 years ago and be downloading them in 50-message-at-a-time chunks. independently, i checked it via safari and used the iPhone Gmail web app (hoping that's the right term) which seems to have a fair amount of additional options (labels etc.).
has anyone got any guidance as to which is a better option?

I've used both but tend to stick with the Mail app so I can access both my mail accounts together. It's really up to you as to which you like better. You should change your GMail to IMAP instead of POP though... much better email handling and you'll never lose any emails.

How can I get a search bar added when trying to archieve emails in my IPhone's email app?

My IPhone email app is connected to my Outlook email system in which I have many archieved folders, when I want to place an email in my archieved folders on my IPhone I have to scroll a long list of archieved folders to find the right one, how can I get a search bar added to find it easier? My colleague' s Samsung has that function already and can't believe that Apple can be behind Samsung on this.

You probably will not be able to get a refund. The iTunes Store makes it pretty clear that gifts are redeemable only in the same country, and the terms of sale say that all sales are final. But you can contact the iTunes Store and ask:

Help please - iPhone email badge won't update

There are many posts, but no solutions. The small, red circle badge on my iPhone that displays the number of unread emails REMAINS despite having read ALL emails on my Mac. The badge ALWAYS indicates that there are several unread emails until I open my iPhone email app, and sit there passively until the app updates itself and removes the badge.
My email account is iCloud (@icloud.com, @mac.com) I have mail on my iPhone set to sync via iCloud, I have "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" "Fetch New Data" set to "Push", and I have iCloud backup set to "on". My unique arrangement makes this perpetual unread badge especially disruptive. I'm begging for a solution, however creative.
Thank you!
Doug

Sounds extreme, and I'm worried about the effect on many other iCloud apps. This seems to be a notorious problem. Take a peak at this thread:

Issues email app after upgrading to iOS 8.3

My iPhone email app doesn't work properly; I can send emails, but I can't receive or get it refresh with new incoming email. I tried deleting my email account several times and resetting it my device (home+close/open buttons) and nothing seemed to work. I don't want to do a complete reset using my last backup, I have too many data stored in other apps that it will take a big deal of time have it restore back again. Thank you!!

I have this exact problem with gmail and have been unable to solve it. I checked my account, smtp settings, everything is as it should be. I deleted my account (twice!), and then added it back in. No help.
The problem however didn't appear right away for me on my ipad (3e gen). It occurred rather spontaneously in the last week of february.
Strangely, it recognizes my account, and I can send e-mails with it. So the problems seems to be on the receiving side. It recognizes the structure of my gmail, but all the folders are empty. On my iphone 5 I do not have this problem.
My workaround for now: download the google gmail app and use that to check my mail. Sending still works with the ipad mail app. But it is frustrating not being able to use this to receive mail.

IPhone 5 (16GB) iOS 7.0.4 Mail App size is 1GB and continuously increasing. How to reduce the size of the Mail App?

Hi,
I am using an iPhone 5 (16GB) iOS 7.0.4.
Currently the size of the mail app is 1GB and is continously increasing, even though the advanced settings in the mail account have been set as following:
MOVE DISCARDED MESSAGES INTO:
Deleted Mailbox
DELETED MESSAGES:
Remove: After one day
INCOMING SETTINGS:
Delete from Server: When removed from Inbox
The problem that I am facing is that only a few emails reside on my iPhone as I keep deleting emails, which are also deleted from the server automatically because of the settings as above, which is perfectly fine. The emails are deleted from the Mail app and only a very few of them are visible which I have not deleted as yet, and all is fine till here. The problem is that the size of the Mail app is more than 1GB and is continously increasing, when i check the size of the Mail app in the Settings > General > Usage section.
When I search for an email that has previously been deleted from the search feature by swiping down in the main page, it still comes up in the search, and upon clicking the searched email, it takes me into the Mail app, however, the mail is not there. I have tried searching for emails which were deleted weeks ago, and they still come up in the search feature, however, they DO NOT open in the Mail app when i click them within the search feature in the main page.
Up until a couple of months ago, the size of the Mail app was about 5.2GB and at this point I had no space on my 16GB iPhone 5, therefore I resetted my phone two months ago, and after a complete reset of the iPhone 5, the size of the Mail app went back to 0.3KB (like it was brand new out-of the box); however, within a matter of two months the size of the Mail app has now exceeded 1GB and is continously increasing, as I receive alot of emails which is why I delete them on daily basis and even delete them from the Trash folder (mailbox).
I have read alot of blogs and even checked with other friends using similar settings on the same model, however, I just cant seem to figure this out. I would really appreciate if someone can help me with this issue as I dont want to have to reset it again after another 2-3 months.
There are practically only 14-15 emails on my Mail app with not alot of KBs for these emails, and the trash folder is also empty, but the size of the Mail app is still not reducing. Please help!!

Shoaib Malik

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
Also consider deleting and reinstalling the Mail Account in question.

Reg iPhone Mail App (downloading of emails)

Hi,
Does iPhone download the entire email when we check for emails?
Scenario:
- Open iPhone mail app
- receive 10 emails
- open the email to read the contents
- get ‘loading’ icon..seems as if that’s when it’s trying to get the email
- the contents received in few seconds depending on the email
- move on to next email…and see the same loading icon
Is it that mail app downloads just the headers and the content is downloaded when you actually open that particular email? Ideally, I would like the email to be downloaded completely to my phone…this way I can quickly check my emails and move across the messages.
I believe Blackberry works differently where the entire email is downloaded and only attachment is downloaded when you try to access it.
Thanks,

I have just received the new iphone 4th generation. I have a data plane for 200mb per month.
My question is wether iphone downloads the whole email message or if it downloads only the headers? If it downloads the whole message, can I opt for only the headers?
It seems from the first day of use it downloads all messages including the attachments and thus my data usage is huge. In my old Nokia phone only when I required to read the email it will go ahead to download the whole message-is this possible with iphone?
Marios.

I synced my work Iphone to my families Itunes account at home and now cannot connect to email, apps store, internet, etc. I can still call and text, but that's it. Please help.
I could connect before syncing. I restarted the phone. The issue started right after connecting syncing to my computer.

Thanks for your reply.
I just tried your suggestion, but got the same error.
In mail: "the connection to the server failed"
In App Store: "Cannot connect to iTunes Store"
In Facebook: "Network Error"
I have 4 bars and have 3G coverage. I can call and text.

Why iphones dont have clipboards and attachments in their email apps?

Two things i dont like in iphones and ipads are that they dont auto fill or have clipboards as samsungs neither can one attach a photo or document via the email app! This seems rediculous for even the less famous and leas expensive smartphones can do these easily!!!! APPLEEEEEEE come on do itttt!!! This is a shame for a GIANT like APPLE

You can add a photofrom within the Mail app by tapping and holding the body of the message and selecting Insert photo or video.
Documents can be attached by opening the document, tapping the share icon and selecting Mail.

TS1398 I have recently updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.0.2 but wi-fi is still slow. It takes a lot of time to download the files. But web browsing is OK. I have downloaded an app size 8 MB but it take around 15 minutes on my wifi. Please help Apple.

I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

Can't open email app on my iphone 5

Since this morning i'm unable to open my email app on my iphone 5. Can someone help me? Thanks a lot

To fix this you should first quit all applications running in the background.
Instructions:
To shut down extra background apps, the first step is to access the multi-task bar on the phone. This is done by pressing the Home button two times quickly. A popup menu appears that shows all the background apps the iPhone has in memory. Items are displayed 4 at a time. If users scroll to the right, they will eventually see all apps that are currently open.
In order to manage background apps, users need to press down on one of the app icon in the Bottom until a red circle with a minus sign appears on each item.
Users should tap the minus sign next to each application they wish to close.
When users are done, they can simply press the Home button to return to the main screen.
After quitting ALL Application, power down the phone.
We will not do a normal shutdown, We are going to do a Hard Reset/Restart
Intructions:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
Hope this helps!
