IPhone iOS 7 mail app takes 3.6gb memory off 12.9gb

This is dragging my iPhone really bad. How can I limit this Mail App to a much lower usage on my iPhone's memory. Nothing related to iCloud storage.
Thanks!

I've given up trying to use flags on all Apple devices and computers. Its never been able to carry flags across iOS devices and Mac's and now mine won't even reflect in the flagged folder on my iPad what's flagged mail on the same iPad. The Mail app is very basic and has become less and less useful with every update.

IOS 7 mail app security concerns

I just witnessed something that made me very concerned about the iOS 7 Mail App security. I was changing my mail account password. (I am still stuck with a Hotmail account.) So after I changed my Hotmail account password in a desktop web browser, I was expecting to do the same on my iPhone. But, what I observed totally shocked me -- I was still able to receive and send emails from my iPhone using the Apple Mail App (that still had my old password!) for some time before the Mail app crashed and only when I restarted it, it then prompted me for a password.
Now picture a more dire situation. Someone steals my iPhone. I immediately log in to Hotmail and change my password. But the thief with my iPhone can still send and receive emails from my Hotmail account. I don't need to go any further with what this can lead to, right!

If a thief steals your phone, then hopefully you put a passcode lock on your phone, and are also using Find My iPhone.
Guys, don't lead it in the wrong direction. This is not about setting up the passcode. Obviously that is the way to protect your data. But as you probably heard from Apple themselves about half of people who use iOS devices don't have passlocks set up. At this point I'm concerned why the Mail App lets me send and receive emails with the old password?

I have a macbook, an ipad, and an iphone with the Mail app on all three synced through icloud, but when I read and delete emails on my phone, the inbox on my ipad is not update, so I have to go through and mark as read or delete messages again. How can I sync my iphone and ipad? (it seems like each is synced only to my laptop, so don't synchronize until I go home and use my laptop.

POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"

Is my Gmail app on my iphone preventing my mail app from connecting to my gmail account?

Is my Gmail app on my iphone preventing my mail app from connecting to my gmail account?
Whenever I try to type in my information to my Mail app it will not verify my gmail account- it says my username/password is incorrect when it isn't.
Please help!

it may be a two part security verification. contact the email provider and see if you need a special password.
some users find simply changing the password resloves the issue.
heres a helpfull article

Does Apple mail app take 1.7 GB even when empty?

I emptied out my trash, my junk, and threw away all incoming …. nothing left. But my usage still says I'm using
1.7GB in my mail app ….. is that as empty as it gets?

Hi BKDubble,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPhone. If you are having an issue with a mismatch in the reported storage space for Mail in iOS on your iPhone, you may want to make sure you have a current backup of your data, then try the following troubleshooting steps (the article is aimed at a slightly different issue, but the steps can also be helpful for storage reporting issues):
If your device gets stuck during startup
When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
Regards,

GMail issues on iPhone built in mail app

Hi all,
Not sure if this is a Gmail / iPhone Mail-wide issue, but hoping it is.
I have an iPhone 4 (original) with iOS 7.1. Today, my built-in mail app had issues receiving mail, got some kind of 'cannot connect to Gmail IMAP' error most of the day. It now seems to be able to connect, but my inbox has become frazzled. I can basically only see the two most recently received messages. Every other message I can see in my inbox is an e-mail I have sent (in the list below the two most recent messages I've received). I can't see any of the other messages I've received, scrolling down the list only shows the ones I've sent. It's driving me nuts! I have removed my Gmail account and re-added it, same problem. I've logged into Gmail on the web and everything looks fine, I've even checked on my computer via the Apple Mail app and it all looks alright. Just the iPhone mail...not sure what is up.
Any ideas? Hoping some other people have experienced a similar issue!
Thanks.

Any ideas, guys? I had a similar issue on iOS 6 but the move to iOS 7 fixed it.
Yesterday, I moved a whole bunch of e-mails from my Gmail archive (on the web interface) to my inbox. Now my Mail app on iPhone is missing a whole chunk of my e-mails....not sure how to fix this!
Any advice would be most appreciated. Thanks.
EDIT: I should add, when I cycle to the All Mail folder, I can see everything as normal...but the inbox in the Mail app is missing all e-mails from before yesterday evening, choosing to show only those that are from months ago (and even then, they're just ones I've sent, all the received ones are missing).

Ios 8 mail app and music issues

AFter installing ios8 my mail app has practically stopped working. The mails are just not opening. I have to go to safari to hotmail instead. Then i uploaded a lot of music last night and realised this morning not all songs synced. And i tried to add them today but it wont let me!! Really annoyed. Updated to ios 8.0.2 this morning and nothing has changed or improved. So annoyed now . Apple when will these issues be sorted??

Oh, I had the same problem with the music. I had told it to sync all of my music, but it didn't.
To solve this, I went to the "Music" tabs, unticked "Sync Music", then apply it (yes, this will delete the music off the iPhone). Then (even though it looks like the music is still there), Then tick the "Sync Music" and apply that, and it should sync the music

IOS 5 Mail app always push mail

hi there,
I have set 2 mailbox with Exchange settings in the mail app on my iPhone 4S (iOS 5.0.1)
As I was on holiday I have set the mail settings to disable PUSH and enable FETCH with the schedule "hourly"
BUT I have figured out that I am receiving the email still as push and not only downloaded hourly.
Now I am back in the office and I have tested it.
If the mail app is running I am receiving the email even faster (2-3 seconds) than my computer with Outlook running and connected to the Exchange server local...
If the mail app is NOT running I am receiving the emails a little bit later, like 20-30 seconds after they arrive in Outlook.
BUT not JUST only hourly.
Here are my settings:
How is it?! Bug?
or
Works as designed? If push is available it doesn't count what are the other settings it will drain battery and use as push?
That cannot be, if I am on holiday or in the office before my laptop I didn't want to receive my business mails with push.
If I am abroad yes, for this I will use "push ON"...
But for other just "fetch hourly"
Is this possible?

Thanks Allan.
Good suggestion. Tried it but unfortunately it didn't work. it recreates the Outbox directory in ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes when I open it. The directory no longer has anything in it (ie no info.plist of Massages folder).
But when I am in Mail.app it still has a message in the outbox. I have to delete it quickly when I open Mail.app, otherwise it will send it.
After I delete it, the window has no messages in it, but on the left the mailbox has a '1' in circle next to it. When I click on another mailbox then click back on Outbox, a 'new' (but previously sent) email is there ready to resend.
I'm using IMAP and my Mail.app at home does not have this problem (both machines are using Leopard 10.5.3)

IOS SIMULATOR MAIL APP

Hi.
I start to use Xcode and especially IOS Simulator (Xcode 4.3.2) on OSX LION 10.7.3.
I'd like to know if it's possible to use mail apps on IOS Simulator ? It's not installed by defaut.
I need it to check what looks like newsletter on ipad, iphone ... I send to my client without using each device. I was thinking about using mail apps on ios simulator but I don't know if it's possible.
If yes, can someone explain the procedure to install mail app on IOS simulator ?
Thank's.
David

The mail application is not available on the simulator. You will need to test your application on a device to test that part.

Ios 5 mail app delete behavior

I have gmail set up as an exchange account in the native mail app on a iphone 4s with the latest ios 5.
what is the default behavior of deleting email with the mail app? is it configurable?
I ask since on my iphone 3gs (w/ ios 5) it removes the mail from the inbox and leaves it in all mail. But for my wife's 4s it is seemingly moving it to the trash.
thanks,
-g

ok im back and i have figured out the problem and solution.
as im so used to high lighting the emails individually, i've been doing the same in trash and this causes a number to slowly build next to an empty trash folder. if i select delete all then all hte emails and the number disappear. problem solved.
yay

IPhone, calender, iCal, mail.app: probem inviting people to meeting

Hi everyone,
last night I downloaded the 3.0 Version. Everything runs fine but...
I tried the new feature to invite people to appointments in calender. On the first sight everything works fine. But then there where Problems.
My colleague received my invitation on his iPhone but the iPhone could not open the "winmail.dat".
We then tried it using mail.app, where the "winmail.dat" was visible. The content of the "winmail.dat" could not be opened. Therefore iCal.app could also not handle the invitation.
This feature is very important to me and surely to many others.
Could anybody tell me what went wrong?
kind regards, Uwe

Ah! after talking to different people we found out that this might be the support for Exchange 2007 from Microsoft.
What I have to tell is that we are using Zarafa as a replacement for Exchange.
Probably this will be tha cause for the missing functionality.
As far as we know the colleagues from Zarafa are working hard to update their Software.
Still waiting for a solution,
regards, Uwe

Using folders in Mail app on iPhone - Synching iPhone and Mac Mail app

I have a hotmail account and my iMac is set up to recieve that mail to the Mail app. In the Mail app I have organized all the emails I have recieved into different folders but I would like those same folders to show up on my iPhone so that when an email comes in I can drag it to the appropriate folder and it will be in that folder on my iPhone as well as on my iMac. Also if I delete a email on my iPhone I would like it to delete in my Mail app on my iMac.
Is this possible? if so, how do I do it?
Thanks in advance for any help!!!

New emails should automatically get pushed onto your device; however if you have read your emails on a different computer or device it will still show as unread on your iphone.
follow the following steps make sure that they are right:
Settings
Mail Contacts Calendar
Fetch new Data
Ensure that “Push” is on
Ensure that “Every 15 Minutes” is selected
Go down to advanced
Select the accounts outstanding and change them to “Push”

Reading messages on iphone causing Mac Mail App to have blank from, to, etc

So this is a weird one and I haven't found it covered so I'm at my wits end.
Not sure exactly when - but somewhere after installing Leopard I get the following behavior:
If I retrieve mail with mail.app first normally I get proper headers displayed in the message list window.
If I READ the email on my iPhone let alone respond to it, etc. and then go back to my mail.app all emails I chose to read, reply to, etc. have blank from, to, and subject lines in the message list window. They appear ok in the message window but not the message list window.
If I choose to reply to (or forward) any message that has these blanks the resulting email message to edit is missing subject line, to line, etc.
I'm running an IMAP account.

Yahoo prevents accessing a free Yahoo account with any email client such as the Mail.app on your Mac for U.S. residents.
Yahoo provides a free Push-IMAP account for iPhone customers which can be accessed with the iPhone's email client but with no others on another computer or device.
You can get a free AOL account which can be accessed as an IMAP account with the Mail.app on your Mac and with the iPhone's email client.
There arent too many free IMAP accounts available and you usually get what you pay for.

New mail shows up on iphone but NOT mail.app

Not sure if this belongs here, sorry if its the wrong place.
I have a mobile me email, and iphone, and an imac. when new mail comes in it shows up fine on iphone and when i FIRST launce mail.app. However, if a second email comes in, mail.app will not 'see it'. iphone will.
how is this possible? and how do i fix it?
thanks

On my set up, with the mobile me sync panel set to automatic and mail accounts ticked, I recieve incoming mail instantly. (on phone and mac)
Mail Accounts under the Sync tab for your MobileMe account settings is for syncing email account settings with the Mail.app between multiple Macs only. This has nothing to do with Fetching messages or new messages being pushed to the Mail.app or to the iPhone.
The iPhone includes a Push setting, which can be turned on or off. Are you saying if you turn Push access off on your iPhone and leave Mail Accounts selected under the Sync tab for your MobileMe account settings on your Mac, new messages will be pushed to your iPhone with your MobileMe account even though Push access is turned off on your iPhone?
+There is no setting at System Preferences > MobileMe under the Sync tab that has anything to do with the Mail.app.+
+The Fetch setting for the Mail.app is at Mail > Preferences under the General tab.+
+The Mail.app setting that allows for Push access with an IMAP account is available under the Advanced tab for the account preferences - use IDLE command if the server supports it.+
The iPhone includes a Fetch setting, which is used if Push access is turned off. The iPhone includes a global push setting - on or off, and you can enable or disable push access separately for received messages, contacts and calendars with a MobileMe account. I don't have push access enabled for received messages with my MobileMe account on my iPhone, but I do have push access enabled for contacts and calendar events.
The MobileMe sync settings under the Sync tab for your MobileMe account preferences has nothing to do with the Mail.app and checking for new messages or syncing server stored mailboxes with the Mail.app or with the iPhone's Mail client.
