Iphone mail menu icons

I pressed an unknown button while reading an email on my iPhone and now I can't find the email.
I can't figure out what happened to an email I was reading. I was in the iPhone's email, I was reading the email in it's own window, when I accidentally pressed a cube shaped icon with a down arrow on it. It's located in the middle of the email nav bar on the bottom of the screen. There are 5 icons on the bottom (from left to right) ; reload (a circular arrow) , move to a mailbox (a folder on an angle) , The unknown one I mentioned (cube with a down arrow at the top), reply,forward or email button (arrow pointing to the left), and New message button (box with a pencil going thru it) After pressing it, the email swished away to some unknown location. I even went back to my computer, and the copy there is gone as well.
Please help me figure out what this button does and where it goes!
Thanks,
Mari

It's the 'Archive' button. Gmail is one of the mail services that archives your messages instead of deleting them.
If you're using Gmail, go to the 'All Mail' folder and you should see it there.

HT5361 I click on my email icon and the mail menu comes up on the top of the page but I don't see any of my folders/emails on the main screen. I have a macbook air.

I click on the email icon and the mail menu comes up on top of the screen but no emails/folders appear on the rest of the screen?

That depends on what type of email system you use, but you dod not give that information.
Who is your email provider.

IPhone 4 Camera Icon Missing, Facetime Unavailable after add Mail Exchange

iPhone 4 running 4.0.1
when my iPhone setup to MS Exchange email account (my company) I noticed that iPhone 4 Camera Icon Missing, Facetime Unavailable. I remove the account from "setting" - "Mail" and all feature came back to normal.
This also happened to my colleague (iPhone 4 FM 4.0) connected to same MS Exchange server.
However; I posted this issue on other forum and other iPhone 4 users don't have the same issue connected to Exchange.
My Company running MS Exchange 2007

Got it working now iOS support Exchange Policy!

Exchange 2007 has active sync policies. One of the options is to disallow the camera.
To resolve the problem do the following.
1) Open Exchange Management Console
2) Click "Organization Configuration"
3) Click "Client Access"
4) On the right you should see your active sync policies. Right click the policy and chose "Properties"
5) Click the "Device" tab
6) Check "Allow camera"
And bingo it works!!!!

Is there a reason why the mail badge icon on my iPad doesn't disappear when I open an email on my iPhone using my iCloud account?

Hi everyone!
Looking also for an app that allows me to merge email and send them out to each recipient individually. Apparently that's not possible yet. Here's what the guys at RedbitsApps told me about Group Email capabilities:
"The current version of the app relies on the device operating system to send the emails. For this reason, sending individual email instead of a single email to multiple recipients is not possible. Apple doesn't allow apps to send single emails to many recipients easily. We may use a custom sending software in a future version."
Let's keep looking guys...

TS4002 After the icloud update I have not been able to access any of the newly formatted icons including mail, is anyone else experiencing this. I report to apple through the tab but nothing changes. My iPhone mail is unaffected.

Happy to report that iTunes Match has returned to working like normal on iTunes 10.7 on my computer today. If any iTunes engineers read this thread, I really appreciate the fix.
Has it returned to normal for you?

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.

IPhone mail app not showing number of unread messages on home screen

My wife's iPhone has the mail app synced to her Gmail account and everything appears set to "push", but no notification appears onscreen when she gets a email. She has to open the app and then mail downloads.i

Hello queenbea4,
You may need to place a tick mark for "Include when automatically checking for new messages" under the Advanced pane of your iCloud account's settings in Mail's Preferences. This can be found by going to the Mail menu, then to Preferences. Under the Accounts tab, choose your iCloud account, then the Advanced tab to the right.

PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon in my dock was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted all my emails in my Outlook inbox.

PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon that is in my dock, that I know nothing about, was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted ALL my OUTLOOK emails in my inbox. Can someone please please tell me if there is a way to get my Outlook inbox emails back OR EVEN the emails that were in my Mail app - because even tho I never use the Mail app, at least the emails would be there.
When I was trying to delete the emails in my inbox for the Mail app - I followed THESE directions. It did in fact clear my inbox for the Mail app. But then I went to log on to my Outlook account and EVERY SINGLE EMAIL was gone. And not in the Deleted box. Just gone. Here are the directions I followed that screwed everything up. Please help.
Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors.
Uncheck "Store deleted messages on the server".
At the drop list for "Permanently erase deleted messages when", choose "Quitting Mail".
Next...
Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > General.
At "When searching all mailboxes, include results from", uncheck "Trash".
Select All = command A

i found out my prob!
here is what you do.
go to the "system preferences" on your dock.
click "software updates".
click "installed software"
if it shows something about a recent update about "EFI UPDATE, FIRMWARE, THUNDERBOLT" or anything like that, exit out of it.
go to mail.
click "mail" at the top.
click "preferences...".
find the account you are having trouble with, once you do, make sure its highlighted, then click the "-" at the bottom of the window (this will only effect that mail account, it will not effect your ical weather or not its synced thought that email account)
hit the "+" (right next to the "-") and add your accout back!
its something with that update that effected mail, i hope this works out for you, if not reply back

On my email page, I've lost the 3-line menu icon in upper right -- how can I get it back?

I inadvertently lost the little 3-line menu icon in the upper right corner of my email page. What can I do to get it back? I've tried pressing Alt and also Ctrl+Alt, as some instructions suggest, and nothing happens.

You probably have disabled the Mail Toolbar. Press F10 and choose View -> Toolbars and check Mail Toolbar.

Mail dock icon has vanished

Hi, I have a strange problem with my Mail dock icon. It is completely transparent. It is still there, but I can't see it, I see an empty space, with only the 'Mail' text on top of it. I still can click it to open up mail. I already tried to remove it and add a new alias - and rebooted the computer. The Mail icon in the dock has vanished...

Have you tried trashing the mail.plist file from your Home Preferences folder?
Disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Boot from your install disc & run _*Repair Disk*_ from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
Select your language.
Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
Select *Disk Utility.*
Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click *First Aid.*
Click _*Repair Disk.*_
Restart your computer when done.
Repair permissions after you reach the desktop

Mail.app icon changing brightness for no apparent reason.

I'm seeing a weird issue, where the Mail.app icon is slowly changing brightness over time. Starting normal, then over the course of a couple of hours, goes either brighter or darker.
Restarting Mail.app "resets" it.
This is how it looks currently: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/615699/Screen%20shot%202010-10-19%20at%2019.14.13.png
I did not see this issue on Leopard.
Does any one here know how to fix this?

Could be the problem?
If the issue is limited to your user account try starting up Safe Mode (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)
If your Mail icon functions correctly that way, go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items, and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not go to/Users/yourname/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving/Users/yourname/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.

Menu icons (time, battery, etc) keep disappearing and reappearing

The menu icons in the upper right corner (battery, internet, time, etc) keep flashing on and off and are not accessible. This started yesterday and, in addition to the flashing icons, iTunes no longer recognizes or syncs with my iPhone or iPad. Any suggestions before I trek out to the Genius Bar?? Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
The genius bar may be your best bet, but you could try booting from your install disc and repairing your Boot Disk. Also check to see that the SMART status of the hard drive is verified.
Good luck!

Lion and Mail menu bars

Does anyone else think the Mac team got in a hurry on Lion? Why are they using the old trash can and info button in the menu bars. In fact, all the icons in the finder and mail menu bars look old fashioned. I'll bet Steve didn't see them!

No. Snow Leopard's Mail isn't compatible w/Lion's, so it needs to do the conversion to be usable. Maybe you should consider trimming the number of e-mails you've storred.

Unread email folder doesn't exist on iPhone mail application?

Hi everyone,
I just recently switched over to an iPhone 4 after 6 years with a Blackberry. I have many apple products and was finally able to switch at work. Everything is great except that the way you have to find unread email is very cumbersome. On the BB, all unread mail appeared in the default mail view. On the iPhone, I have to go into the folder view to find emails that I have ruled into other folders on my Microsoft Exchange account which is very cumbersome.
Also, I hear a new email alert but the mail icon doesn't update the unread mail count unless that email comes to my inbox folder. Since I work in IT at my organization and receive many emails, I have them ruled on exchange to many different folders. I have all of those folders pushed to the iPhone but I have to manually look in each folder for the unread mail count next to the folder.
So I guess I'm saying that this is not efficient enough mail for me. Can you do setup an unread mail folder that shows all unread mail regardless of what folder it really is in on the iPhone mail program somehow? If not, can this be submitted as an enhancement as it makes email use very cumbersome. I have found tons of posts about this through google searches. I thought I would make a post to see if we are all missing something simple. If there is a simple setup that I can configure to fix this, please let me know!
Thanks,
Unhappy mail user
