Mail app no longer responds on iPad 2

Greetings to all,
Using an iPad 2, my mail app froze up after trying to send an email with 6 pictures (taken with an iPhone 6) attached.
The mail was saved as a draft. As I tried to (re)open it for editing/finalization, the Mail app stopped responding after freezing on me.
Now the app mail app will open, but without displaying any contents and only for a few second only. The device then returns to the home screen.
I already tried to turn the device off and back on. I also reset it. Finally I proceeded in an attempt to delete the account from which the mail was to be sent and reset the device again... None of the above worked. Mail just seems 'dead', unresponsive. All other apps seem to work fine.
Any ideas/leads, anyone?!
Thank you.

I Don't know if the app will stay open long enough to delete the email, but have you tried that?. If you can get to the draft in the preview window on the left side, swipe across the email from right to left to get the delete button to pop up. Then delete the email. I assume, as I'm sure you do by know, that one of the photos is corrupt, or something in that particular draft is causing the problems.
IF your email account is an IMAP Account, use a computer and log into your email in a browser and delete the email from there. IMAP email accounts actions will sync across devices, so that will remove it from the mail app on the iPad as well.

My Mail App is not responding

My MacBook Pro Mail App is not responding. Can anyone offer a suggestion to fix this?

Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
If Mail crashes or freezes immediately on launch, try the steps suggested on this page. Sometimes a corrupt message on a mail server can be deleted by logging in to the server through its web page. If Mail still won't launch, skip to Step 3.
Step 2
Select all your mailboxes, and then select
          Mailbox ▹ Export Mailbox...
from the Mail menu bar. Export the mailboxes to the Desktop folder.
Make a note of the settings for all your Mail accounts – everything you'd need to reconstruct the settings from scratch.
Quit Mail.
Step 3
In the Finder, hold down the option key and select
          Go ▹ Library
from the menu bar. Move the following items (some may not exist) from the folder that opens to the Desktop:
          Application Support/AddressBook/MailRecents-v4.abcdmr
          Containers/com.apple.corerecents.recentsd
          Containers/com.apple.mail
          Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
          Mail
Note: you are not moving the Mail application. You’re moving a folder named “Mail.”
Launch Mail. It will behave as if you were setting it up for the first time. Go through the setup process with one of your accounts, using the information you noted earlier. Test. If Mail works now, recreate the rest of your settings.
If there’s no improvement, quit Mail and put back the items you moved to the Desktop, replacing any newer ones that may have been created in their place. Stop here and post your results.
Step 4
This step should not be necessary with IMAP or Exchange mailboxes, because they synchronize automatically with the server. Nevertheless, if the mailboxes are very large, importing them may spare you the need for a long download.
If you took Step 2, import the mailboxes you exported:
          File ▹ Import Mailbox...
If you skipped Step 2, look inside the Mail folder on the Desktop for a subfolder Mail/V2/Mailboxes. Import the mailboxes it contains.
Test. If Mail is still working, delete the items you moved to the Desktop in Step 3.

Mail app no longer "speaks" English

Opened my Mail app today...and it was in Chinese!?
My International System Pref listed Chinese second to English. When I made Danish a second choice, the Mail app opened in Danish.
The Language list in the Get Info window for the Mail app no longer lists English.
Any ideas to fix this? Specifically, and obviously, how to I get English back into the app?
And another thing. The only way to quit this now foreign-speaking app is to Force Quit.
Grateful for any help.
tony

Hi Tony
sounds like the English part of Mail app has oddly vanished - you're going to have to restore it from a backup, another 10.5 mac, or reinstall it from the dvd & then run the 10.5.8 combo update.
If you like tinkering, get Pacifist from http://charlessoft.com which you can use either to grab the Mail app from the Leopard dvd, or extract/replace just the missing language parts, with any luck

Why are my apps no longer on my iPad?

Why are my apps no longer on my iPad after downloading latest iTunes and installing?

Nobody here can answer that question. We don't know what you did exactly step by step.They should not disappear when you update iTunes or the iPad iOS.
If they are still in your iTunes library on your computer - sync them back to your iPad.
If you did never transferred them from your iPad to iTunes, download them again in the App Store. Tap on the purchased tab and all of your apps should be in the resulting windows. Download them again. You have to use the same Apple ID that you used to buy them with originally, but they will be free downloads.

Mail app no longer groups threads after turning Push to off

Hey guys,
My Mail application was grouping related emails/threads together. Yesterday I decided to switch to Fetch as opposed to Push to conserve battery life in general (which it DEFINITELY makes a huge difference in battery life for fetch every 15 minutes versus Push). Any idea what's happening here? I've made sure that the option to group related male is enabled in the Mail settings.
Thanks!

Mail.app no longer connecting to localhost or 127.0.0.1 port 143

Gentleones,
Problem:
Mail.app cannot connect to localhost or 127.0.0.1 on port 143 in order to use an SSH-tunnelled connection to my IMAP server. It gripes that "The IMAP server '127.0.0.1' is not responding."
Background:
I occasionally have to connect via SSH tunnel to my mail server at home to access my E-mail via IMAP and Mail.app. While I have done so for several years, within the last two weeks, something has happened that no longer allows me to do so. (I think the triggering event was upgrading the client machine to 10.4.7, but I'm not positive.)
Troubleshooting done to date:
I can successfully open the tunnel and use TELNET to login to my server on the IMAP port, 143.
I installed the latest version of Eudora and it connects to the tunnel successfully.
I have deleted both the com.apple.mail.plist and both ~/Library/Mail and ~/Library/Mail Downloads folders, but that hasn't made any difference.
Anybody got any idea what is going on here?
Thanks,
Bill

How the heck did you figure that one out?!
I didn't, actually. Someone else in this forum (and probably other people in other forums as well), figured it out by looking at the changes introduced by the Mac OS X 10.4.7 Update, and checking his/her own settings accordingly:

Mail.app not opening.....wrong version! There has been no advice on what to do/support or explanation.
For a few months I have no longer been able to open Mail.app.
I have tried a backup older version I had, and this also does not open.
Below is the message I get when trying to open Mail.app vers 4.5 which I had download in March 24th 2011 and subsequently used.
What has happened to Mail.app? that I can no longer use it? And what can be done?

Your version of Mail didn't upgrade properly because you've moved it from its expected location location (to a sub folder you've named "APPLE apps").
Move it back into the HD/Applications folder and apply the 10.6.8 "Combo" update to fix things.

Mail App no longer connecting with Hotmail accounts

I have had my hotmail accounts connected to my Mail app on my iMac for years, no problem. As of yesterday the Mail App wil no longer connect with any of my hotmail accounts. It is connecting with my gmail accounts.
The error message I get is: "UNable to receive Mail: There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “EKRDL” or try again. The server returned the error: The server “pop3.live.com” refused to allow a connection on port 995"
Hep anyone? What is happening here?

You're welcome.

Mail App no longer working after 2.0 upgrade

I upgraded to 2.0 on my IPhone Edge and now my mail application no longer works AT ALL. If I try to open it, it simply shows me a blank mail screen, waits for a few seconds and then returns to the home screen. Strangely enough, I have been able to send email photos using the camera application.
Email is the most important application for me on the iPhone! Has anyone encountered this problem? Is there a fix available?

I recently stopped by the apple store and have fixed my mail app! The problem as described to me was caused by a installing apps. Turns out that apps can mess with Mail setting in some way and perhaps due to a bad setting or a bad combination of settings my mail application stopped working. The way I fixed it was to do a restore to New Iphone which, unfortunately, wipes everything! But after syncing back up including re-installing all of my apps, mail works again! Of course, I lost all of my notes, various settings, and lots of other stuff. Turns out that a simple restore, since it backs up your phone beforehand (backing up bad settings at the same time) is not the silver bullet but a full restore to new iphone probably often is. Hope this helps others.

Mail app no longer works

I've done a force quit on the app and have rebooted the ipad. I've followed Apple's suggestions for checking the settings. Still neither of my mail accounts can send or receive.
Mail stopped working while we are relying on a hotel's wifi. Safari works fine and Mail on my wife's ipad works.
I'm stumped. Any ideas?

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Mail App no longer working

Last night Mail was working perfectly, as it has for many years. This morning not working. Nobody touched my computer. I did not Install or Delete anything. Did NOT make ANY changes to anything at all.
I use DeamHost for my Web Host and E-mail Service. I have contacted DreamHost Tech Support three times today already. I'm in the Chat Room again, but they cannot help me. They have no clue what is wrong.
I've tried their suggestions to Reset the Password several times. Still Mail is not working.
I even set a Different Password for each E-mail Address, but still not working.
> I can send myself a message from my Mail App and receive it in my Mail App, BUT I cannot receive E-mail from somebody else to my Mail Application.
> Sent a Message from both Hotmail and Yahoo to my Mail App, but did not receive either message.
I really need to Resolve this Issue soon ...... I depend on my Mail App for All of my Important E-mail (Business, Familly, Friends, Personal)
Thanks.
-- Jim

Finalll Resolved the Issue ... !!! As I suspected, it was something incredibly Simple .... !!!
To the right of each E-mail Account in Mail, there was a "Tilde" sign to the right, indicating that there is something wrong with that E-mail Address.
Finally, DreamHost Escalated my Issue to a higher-up Tech Support. After trying many things, most of which I had already been trying with other Techs all day long, finally the Tech told me to right click on the Tilde, and choose
"Take Account Online"
which worked for five of the accounts, but still had issues with the last account, which finally got working.
So what could have been the cause for this Problem to Happen?
I know that somebody did hack into my E-mail Account, because the first Tech this morning gave me some of the characters to my Password (very long Password), but those characters did NOT match up with my Password!!!
Has anyone run into an E-mai Hack like this one ... ???

OSX 10.5.8 / Mail.app 3.6 - Mail.app No Longer Auto-Checks For New Mail

Since I upgraded to 10.5.8, Mail.app does not appear to be checking automatically for new mail. Regardless of how I set the preference (Every 1 Minute, Every 5 Minutes) it never checks for new mail, and I always have to click on "Get Mail".
I've verified this by opening the Activity WIndow and watching it for more than 5 minutes, with the preference set to 1 and 5 minutes between checks. I don't have time to test the longer intervals right now.
Mail.app is at version 3.6, modified yesterday morning at the same time that I used Software Update to apply the 10.5.8 update (from 10.5.7). I've used Spotlight to make sure that this is the only version of Mail.app on the drive.

Never mind...for the account in question, the "include this account when checking automatically" option was unchecked. Not sure how that happened...

Mail.app: need longer timeout when fetching mail

How can I set mail.app's timeout for 'get mail' to a few minutes?
A test with terminal>telnet reveals that the pop-server of my provider pauses a few minutes between the pop3 user and pass commands (doing an unsuccessfull reverse dns lookup ?). For mail.app that's too long, it gives up after 60 seconds with an error.

I think you are running low in working memory.
Close all programs that are running in the background.
1. Double-click the Home button
2. Hold down any icon until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close the program
4. Reboot the iPad

have you checked via nokia Suite on your PC if there are any firmware upgrades available for your phone? if there are any, please update to the latest version offered. failing that, you can try re-installing your current firmware thru Nokia Suite.
if that doesn't work, then you need to take your phone tro Nokia Care for inspection: http://nokia.com/support

You can either re-download them directly on the iPad from the Purchased tab in the App Store app, or re-download them on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page and then sync them to the iPad : re-downloading.
