Mail access on iphone 5

I have recently upgraded to IOS 8.1.2. Since doing so there has been a variety of strange things occur.
1. I have a password vault (app) which refused to work for 4 days and then came good
2. Both my wife's apps and mine loaded on to the iphone from itunes when i synced and now i have twice as many apps
3. This is the one that i am struggling with. Trying to get to my mail accounts through Settings--Mail,Contacts,Calendars is impossible as all accounts are grayed out rendering them unaccessible. I have spoken to Optus who had a look but suggest it is an Apple problem. Have tried in-store but pandemonium until school holidays over. Have tried re-syncing and power down to no avail. Have bulk emails in outbox which I have attempted but cannot send. Still receiving incoming emails but need access to reset email account
Any help would be appreciated

Hi there,
What kind of email accounts are we talking about? Gmail, Exchange?

Need reference/tutorial about iDisk (especially .Mac mail) access by iPhone

Greetings,
I have started getting quite interested in using my .Mac subscription, especially the iDisk online storage capabilities while being on the road with my MBP.
HOWEVER, I am also intrigued with accessing iDisk and .Mac Mail from my iPhone.
1. That's where I am having problem number one: seems that i cannot use my iPhone to access anything I put into iDisk's folders from my MBP. I put files into iDisk on my desktop, check if same files are on iDisk by reaching .Mac online, but I do not see anything on my iPhone while accessing iDisk from it. I do see the same iDisk folders as i see on my desktop Documents, etc..), but with no data inside.
My .Mac WebGallery/Albums work well from my iPhone.
2. Similar problem with Mail. Everything is OK - send receive - as far as .Mac Mail goes, if reached from my laptop. Not so with the iPhone: even though I can send/receive from .Mac Mail from my iPhone, and I do see .Mac Mail's mail boxes, and message insides, I cannot access attachments that i might have sent from Mail on my MBP or from .Mac Mail from my MBP.
I hope this is not too complicated a request for assistance: I have done well so far with most of the iPhone amzingly well integrated capabilities, but I am stumped here re: iPhone access to .Mac's Mail and iDisk.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks, Zerimar. Indeed, somewhat useless. Not a big deal, but the rest of the interface between my MBP and the iPhone, as well as the iPhone design itself, are quite wonderful. I keep trying to detect some inadequacies in that interface. Not too many!
Seems that Apple designed the iPhone to purposefully limit its online capabilities (security issues, or prevention of unnecessary troubleshooting issues, just like in the case on unlocking phones!)

How do I get mail on my iPhone and computer to sync automatically, so e.g. messages read on one appear read on both? I am working in VN and the microsoft access server is in the USA.

If you created as an Exchange account on the iPhone (not IMAP or POP) and you have Push on it should all work smoothly; Reading a message on either client should mark the other read (it does on mine). Try deleting the account from the phone, rebooting the phone (to clear out old settings), then go to Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendar, add an account and tap Microsoft Exchange and add the account back.
There is a fundamental difference between BB and iPhone that you should be aware of; on the BB you do not sync directly with Exchange; you sync with the RIM server which then syncs with your Exchange server. The iPhone syncs directly with Exchange using Microsoft's ActiveSync protocol. So in some ways they will behave differently. But ActiveSync should manage marking messages as read correctly.

I bought my iPhone in December and it has worked until today (3/15/15). Now it will not send or receive e-mail, access Yahoo Weather, or go online through Safari. I suspect that it is a Verizon problem. Any help?

Did you reboot the phone by holding the home and sleep/wake buttons together at same time for 10 seconds?

I can't access Yahoo mail on my iphone 6

I can't access my yahoo email account on my iphone 6. I think it happened since I updated to IOS 8.2. I have the account loaded and it looks fine, but it doesn't download anything to my phone. Along the way I've lost calendar info, my notes, and other things I need!
Help!
Thanks in advance!

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!

Why must I force quit (double press home and slide off) Mail on both my iPad and iPhone in order to have Mail access on my iMac on the same wifi network. Fetch is set to manual and my ISP is Charter.

I don't know about the "3" but it's a POP account. I've always suspected that Charter isn't letting go using their mobile apps for iOS. Puzzling that it doesn't block the other way. That is if Mail is open on the iMac it doesn't block access to Mail on either the iPad or iPhone. I'm guessing it's their mobile apps that are the problem but they won't admit it to me.

TS3899 Why am I asked for my password every time I want to access my e mail accounts on iPhone 4s

Does anyone know why am I asked for my password every time I want to access my e mail accounts on iPhone 4s. This has only occured since updating software.

You did put them into the settings under Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars?

After changing yahoo mail pswd i cannot access mail on my iPhone

After changing my yahoo mail pswd I cannot access mail on my iphone. All other apps work and I can get mail on my macbook and ipad. For my iphone I get an error message "cannot connect to server". What is wrong?

happened to me this morning, I just went into mail, settings, and then deleted one of the yahoo accounts listed there, not sure how it set up twice, maybe b/c cloud or the restore I did.

Can't get access to OWA (Exchange 2003) through Mail App on iPhone

I can access my Office's Email system through Outlook Web Access (2003) via Safari, but I cannot seem to get Mail (on the iPhone 4S) settings to recognize the server. I have tried all combinations of excluding the https:// and the /exchange.

No clue. It works just fine for me and everyone I know.
Re-boot the phone.
Restore the phone.
Restore the phone as a new device.
Do any of those fix it?

I can't access mail on my iphone 5 after updating to 8.1.3

After updating to 8.1.3, I can no longer see my email in mail on my iphone 5 once I click on a message -- I get the heading of the email but the body of the email is blank. Any suggestions? I've already tried deleting and reentering my email accounts but the problem persisted. Thanks!

Silly question but have you tried restarting your phone? Hold down the sleep/wake button and home button at the same time until you see the Apple logo and then release.

Since I updated to iCloud, Mail on my MacBookPro 10.6.8 has been unable to connect to MobileMe more than once or twice per day. Mail on my iPhone 4 has no problems. What's wrong?

Since I updated to iCloud, (which may or may not be related) Mail on my MacBookPro 10.6.8 has been unable to connect to MobileMe more than once or twice per day. Mail on my iPhone 4 and my old iMac has no problems. When there is no service a yellow warning triangle appears adjacent to the Inbox and Connection Doctor reports,"Trying to log into this MobileMe IMAP account failed. Verify that username and password are correct." Since it does fetch Mail from time to time they cannot be wrong.... can they? Should I update to 10.7 and if so what does that entail?

You have been using MobileMe's email settings, which sometimes continue to work for a time after migration but then get turned off. iCloud's mail server settings are different. Strictly speaking Lion 10.7.2 is required for iCloud, and on that Mail is set up automatically.
Snow Leopard cannot access most of iCloud's facilities, however you can set Mail up manually to access your email. The method is described here:

Junk mail arrives in iPhone 5s mail app but not MBP mail app

This is a strange observation and I am wondering if others have experienced this...
My iPhone is a 5s running iOS v7.1. When I access my email accounts via my iPhone each day, I am greeted with a slew of junk mail on a daily basis (typically Monday thru Friday). Not a new thing right? However, when I access those same email accounts from my MacBook Pro I never receive any junk mail (typically Saturday and Sunday). In fact, junk mail never even appears in my Junk folder on the MBP. Now, during the week when I do receive the junk mail on my iPhone, I wait until I return home and open the mail app on my MBP whereupon all of the junk mail received on my iPhone NOW shows up in Mail on my MBP THEN automatically moves into the junk folder. So, my suspicion is that spammers have now determined how to identify mail access between devices (iPhone vs. MBP). I am guessing they may be capitalizing the the inability of the iPhone mail app to filter junk mail.
Am I imagining this or has anyone else experienced this scenario? Many thanks.

Hello rayalamx
If the Mail app is not opening, then I would remove the email accounts. Open mail to see if that resolves the issue and then start adding the accounts back in.

Why doesn't Mail on my iPhone filter out Junk mail?

Can anyone tell me why Mail on my iPhone 4 does not appear to filter out Junk mail?
Maybe I'm oversimplifying things but I would have assumed the same features and functionality as in Mail for OS-X i.e. you can mark any mail received as 'Junk' if the filter hasn't recognised it as such.
Or is Mail in iOS just not that smart?

Thanks, that sounds a reasonable argument although it would be nice to be able to mark/filter directly from the iPhone as I don't always have access to either my Macbook or iCloud when I'm overseas for long periods and the Junk mail just keeps building!?
Wasn't having a 'dig' at Apple or it's developers; am a long term share-holder so I trust you know what you're doing!
Was just trying to work out if it was anything I was doing wrong

Sync, Mail, menu bar, iPhone

After updatig to 10.7.2 and tranferring to i Colud:
My Sync menu bar icon is still existant av make the menu bar hang when toggeled.
System Prefs icon "MobileMe" is also still there, and marking the Syncronize tab makes the System Prefs freeze.
Mail won't quit due to something like "registering syncronice prefs" (my translation from norwegian, see picture).
The sync between iTunes and iPhone is also extremely slow, probably of same sync reason.
Anyone?

Yes, I did read "the manual". Both the official site and several others. And I think I did it right, - or not (?). When the "MailSyncPref" referred to in Mail has been working for a while (~5 min.) it disappears, and I can quit Mail, access menu bar and sync iPhone through iTunes. Still it seems to work very slow. The only thing I've not done yet is to backup to iCloud, because I worry that the system will be occupied rest of the day/night.
Still someone out there with a good idea?

The annoyances of mail on the iPhone

sent to apple product feedback...
The iPhone is a great product, that I enjoy a great deal, however mail is a very frustrating experience.
One can pay for .mac for ease of use on everything, integration with the home computer, iphone syncing, bookmarks.. but Apple's own service doesn't offer push email to the iPhone - bad.
One can sign up for Yahoo Mail, which offers no address book integration, allows no home imap acces, requires payment for home POP access (weak), but yet they are the only push provider.. wha? What good is push imap @yahoo if we can't get imap any other way!
One can use gmail, no integration, no push, free imap that has to be set up without the wizard(not apple's fault but needs to be addressed), horrible integration between folders and labels... bad choice.
The mail situation needs to be worked out, at present there is not ONE single solution that works well for mail on the iphone. Push is important, not only for staying up to date but also for reducing battery drain associated with regular polling.
You've all done such a wonderful job on the phone, the lack of a real mail solution (server wise) is a real disappointment and makes using the device MUCH more difficult / less satisfying. I know I'm not alone in the frustration with push/home management. At least please get .mac working with it - so I can give you more money

This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Contacts (Address Book).
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
