Mail app flashes open but closes immediately

Every time I try to open my Mail app it flashes open but then closes right away.
When I go into Settings > Mail it says "ACCOUNTS ARE CURRENTLY SYNCING." -- but I don't show anywhere that it is syncing to my iPad.
Any suggestions??

First, reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
Restoring for the latest backup would be the next step after that:

If this does not work, delete the account and set it up again.

  • Pdf files flash open then close immediately

    Whenever I try to open a pdf file using Adobe Reader, they just flash open and close and I get a plethora of error messages which I have to X out of.

    Is this a DRM pdf file.  If not, I suggest you use Adobe Reader or another reader such as Foxit.
    If so, ADE should be able to open it, as long as the authorization is correct.
    If the authorization is wrong, it should just give warning messages.
    If you are trying a valid file, the only thing I can suggest is ...
    There are lots of bugs in ADE2.0.  Try replacing ADE2.0 with the older but more reliable v1.7.2.
    (You can have them both installed at once if you like.)
    Version 1.7.2, it is a little difficult to find, available on Adobe site for Windows and for Mac.

  • When i open an app it opens but closes soon after can someone help me

    can someone help me when i open an app on my iphone it opens but closes soon after

    If this is happening with all of your apps, download any free app from the App Store. That usually fixes it. If it's just one app, delete the app and reinstall it.

  • Mail app is open and close after sec

    When i go to mail i tap the app is open and it is closing in 3 seconds.I can not use mail app at all.Can you help me?I already restore my i phone as the instructions from telephone company support(Vodafone) but the problerm is still exist.I call at Apple support(0080044145417)but this office works from Monday to Friday.

    Hi Eric,
    the first thing to do is to go under
    Hard drive/Users/your home/Library/Mail
    and see what you have there.
    Unless you had set up your mail program to store what you receive some other place, your e-mails should be there.
    Try to Spotlight any file with the extension .emlx
    Let me know.

  • Mail App - Tried opening, but keeps crashing. What's wrong?

    Hi All,
    When I tried opening the mail app, it keeps crashing. What does it mean? What's wrong? Has this happened to you? What's the best way to fix this?
    Any suggestions/feedback is much appreciated. Thanks!!

    I do not know what specifically might have caused your problem. But this is what I do when the Mail app misbehaves.
    Quit the Mail app like I describe below and then reset your iPhone.
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. I hope this helps.

    Try closing all apps in Multitask Window
    1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
    2. Swipe up on the screenshot of the app you want to exit.
    3. The app will fly off the screen

  • Reader opens and closes immediately by itself when try to open PDF from windows live mail or browser

    Hi,
    I'm having problems with acrobat xi since installing it on my windows 7 computer.
    Every time I try to open up a pdf file from windows live mail or a browser.. it opens and closes immediately.  The only way I can view it is if I save the file onto the computer, open up acrobat reader first then open up the file in there.
    How do I make it work properly again please?
    I've tried several things  so far like..
    -Using Windows Explorer navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader, then double-click on Eula.exe and accept the license agreement
    -Disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    Please help me.  Thanks.

    How can I tell which one it is exactly?  I think it is Acrobat Reader.. 11.0.10...
    I can only open up a PDF if I save it to my computer and then open up the Acrobat program then open up a file using file > open.
    But if I try and view a pdf from an email attachment in Windows Live Mail.. or from a browser... it will open and close immediately.
    How do I fix this please?  thanks.

  • Whenever I launch the Mail application on my iPod Touch, the window opens and closes immediately. What can I do?

    Whenever I try to launch the Mail application on my iPod touch, the window opens and closes immediately. I just restarted the device, but there's an icon on the screen of a circle.

    Try a hard reset and go from there.

    Try the usual steps: restart, reset, restore.

    If restoring using a backup doesn't help, try restoring the iPhone to factory settings and try for a while with just the Apple-included apps, to make sure it's not an issue with a third-party app. If it still has problems, it may have a hardware problem and will need to be sent to Apple.
    Regards.

    My mail won't open but it won't close on my finder bar...won't let me shut down my Mac.

    Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu and shut it down from there. If that doesn't work, save and close everything you can, and then use the Activity Monitor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to force quit the loginwindow process.

    If you restored to factory defaults/new iPod and are still haveing the problem than an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
