Mail app on my iPad is blank when I open it

I have an iPad 2 running iOS8.3. A few days ago I open my mail app and whilst it opened all sections were blank! I have two mail accounts iCloud & Hotmail, nothing is showing.

Did you try rebooting the iPad?
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

My Mail app sends me to home screen when I open it

Let me tell you what I have done after reading all of the threads on this forum about this issue.
• Closed the app mail and restarted it #RollEyes #duh
• Turning phone off and turning it back on
• Resetting Phone
• Removing all of the mail accounts from my mail app (using the Settings app), then re adding
• Removing all of the mail accounts from my mail app (using the settings app), then shutting down phone, then re adding
• Removing all of the mail accounts from my mail app (using the settings app), then resetting phone, then re adding
• Deleting all of my mail from the mail servers (using my computer) for the last two days, then "delete forever" all of that mail that I moved to the trash (my mail app stopped working today - so two days should cover it)
• Putting the phone in airplane mode
• Setting the phone to "data off"
I still get a mail app that "opens" then immediatly goes back to the home screen (the mail app is still "running" as I can see it when I double tap my home button to see the "running" apps)
I've been using apple products since I was 5 years old, family of electrical engineers, and I'm stumped. I love apple and the reason I've used their products is to avoid software malfunctions etc. . . I'm not gonna lie, it's gotten worse over the last few years with Apple's growing popularity. . .
Gonna need a solution as I use my mail for work on a daily basis
using iPhone 5S Champagne with latest software 7.0.4

Restore as new, THEN restore from the backup. It seems as if the Mail App is corrupted. Last Sunday this happened to me on my iPad (Mail app quitting, just like in your case). I restored as new, then reinstalled the backup. Luckily I had a backup (from the day before) which was backed up BEFORE the mail problem appeared.
If the above does not solve your problem, I suggest restoring as new and redownloading each app individually, and then transferring your photos from iPhoto on the Mac (or whataever photo app on Windows) and content independently.
If that does not solve your prblem, there might be a hardware problem.

Someone else set up my apps on my iPad. Now when I load find friends it shows him instead of me. I rebooted and re installed the app. How can I remove him even though I'm signed in under my apple account

My iphone4 and my ipad mini were synced to my computer, but now I don't seem to be able to see all of my content nor my photo stream. I did see everything there several weeks ago, so I know it worked. How do I access those from my computer. I can't find how to sign on.

I signed on to iCloud, but it only shows the icons for Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Notes, Reminders, Find Phone, Numbers, Pages and Keynotes. Where's everything else ?
What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone.

Over the past week the Mac mail app on my iPad 2 has become locked in vertical orientation and only in the orientation such that the bottom is orientated toward the menu button. Any advice? This is the only app that seems to have been affected.

For the past week or two, my Mac Mail app for my iPad 2 has been stuck in vertical orientation. This is the only app that is similarly affected. Moreover, it will only orient itself such that the bottom is toward the menu button on the iPad. Please advise if you have a solution.

Try closing the Mail app via the taskbar and see if it rotates when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Strange problem with the mail app on an iPad

I've got a bit of a strange problem with the mail app on an iPad - it's sending and receiving mail ok but won't let you delete mail. If you keep at it, it appears as if you have deleted mail (though takes a very long time as you just have to keep deleting it over and over again) - but the size of the app still keeps going up - reached 600mb so far, even though there is hardly any mail or attachments (goes up quite a lot each time you try to delete anything) - any idea what's causing this and how I can fix it?
It occasionally comes up with a dialogue panel saying to check my account settings, but I have checked those and they are fine. The little 'loading' icon just keeps spinning constantly too.

go to Settings > Mail > your account > Advanced > Move Discarded Messages Into
and make sure that Deleted Mailbox is ticked, and not Archive Mailbox
You can also adjust how long the deleted mail stays in the trash immediately below that.
If you are talking about a gmail account, you may also have to login to your account on the gmail server and update the settings there. This is what Barney previously posted about that:

I am unable to open scanned documents (with .jpg file extension) in my e-mail inbox, on the Mail app on my iPad. Please provide a clear answer. Thanks a lot.

Can you actually see that the attachment has a .jpg extension? Some mail systems strip it off (I've seen AOL do that) which makes the attachment difficult to open.

My Ipad is blank when I turn it on even after I've charged it any solutions before puting it into the shop

My Ipad is blank when I turn it on even after I've charged it any solutions before putting it into the shop as I've only had it for a year which was a new replacement.

I use chrome on my iPad Air. When I open the ipad it often flashes a page that I had viewed for a second or two and then it is gone. How can I prevent this?

I don't know if you can prevent it at all. The same ting happens to me in other apps - not just web browsers. I realize that since it's a web browser, there might be something that you don't want someone else to see if they use your iPad, so If it bothers you that much, close Chrome when you are done with it.
Double tap the home button to bring put the multitasking display. Find the Chrome app preview window and drag it up off the screen to close it.

Hi AM_Kidd.
Thanks for your reply.
I have done a complete uninstall and re install of iTunes and all related apple programs from my laptop through control panel, add remove programs and also by going through program files and deleting all tracers of any left over folders remove programs may have missed.
My apologies for forgetting to add this in my original post.
Thanks again

Itunes store is blank when I open it

itunes store is blank when I open it

Same problem here -- latest 10.6.8 on a Santa Rosa Mac Book with 6 GB of RAM -- Safari 5.1.10 and iTunes 11.2.2 -- noticed that the song lists don't display, just a blank area where the song listing SHOULD display -- shows a slider to the right, but nothing on the list. Can play online radio just fine -- main default iTunes store window looks normal, and I can select one of the songs from the default store window, and it plays just fine -- but if I search for Fleetwood Mac or Boston, of which iTunes carries both, song list comes up blank -- other Fleetwood Mac non-song offering show normally.
Hold on -- now it is WORKING -- I used Safari to log into this Apple Help section using my active Apple ID, and I was presented with some sort of Apple license agreement and checkbox before I was able to proceed to this help section to comment -- I wonder if iTunes was hung up because I had not yet agreed to the latest Apple ID User(?) license agreement, but iTunes was not showing me the agreement so that I could check the box, etc.
Anyone having this problem, double-check that Apple has you on record per the latest license agreement -- my iTunes was showing that I was logged in using my correct Apple ID (only have one), but never displayed anything about a license agreement -- only when I logged into this Apple trouble-shooting help section via Safari was I presented with a license agreement update notification screen -- which, once agreed, seems to have cleared up my iTunes Store song list blanking problem.

On updating to Yosemite Mail Index damaged but does not repair when re-opening mail.

Yosemite updated but Mail index damaged and does not repair when re-opened. How is this fixed?

I have the same thing happening. Everything else seems to be working fine, except i can't open my mac mail at all! it seems to be in a loop and won't let me retrieve any mail or even try to send mail before migrating, but it fails and then its back to the beginning and the same loop continues, so no mac mail working. I also came from 10.6.8 to 10.10

Mail applications is blank when I open it, then it closes and opens again by itself, keeping blank

In my Ipad, when I open Mail application it is blank. It stays like this for a few seconds, then it closes and open again by itself. Keeping all time blank.

Have you tried to force quit the app. Double tap the home button. Scroll sideways if needed to bring the mail app preview up on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Tap on the home page preview to exit the mode. Then try your mail again.
Other things people have needed to do, especially after an update is to go into the settings, mail contacts and calendars, delete their mail account (it only deletes it off the iPad not out of existence) then exit out, go back i and re-enter the info.

I cannot open the mail app on my ipad

HI all,
i am having problems with my iPad 2 when using mail. It all worked fine until today.
when a new email arrives the icon shows waiting mail. When I open the mail app it shows a blank screen with the normal boxes in but no text and no email. After approx 10 seconds the screen fades to black and then goes back to the home screen. See image below.
i have tried doing a reset but it make no difference.
any help much appreciated.
thanks
Chris

Have you tried to force close the mail app? Double tap the home button. You'll see icons and previews on the screen. Scroll sideways if needed to bring the mail app up on the screen. Flick the preview up and off the screen to close it. Then single tap the home button or home page preview to exit the mode and try again.

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,
- Brenden

Mail.app From and Subject are blank in list

From time to time I get an email and once it is deleted, the "From" and "Subject" do not display in the list of emails. Its just blank. The "Date Received" shows up as well as if there were any attachments I get the paperclip icon, but no "From" or "Subject". If I open the email I can see the "From" and "Subject" in the email header just fine so I know the data is there, just doesnt show up in the list of emails. If I move the email back to my inbox and the delete it again it usually fixes the problem. Not a big deal but wanted to see if anyone else has had this issue and has a fix.
I am running Mail.app 3.2, and my emailemail is being routed through google apps setup as imap account.
This also happens on my wife's computer, who has an identical email setup as mine, just a different account, which leads me to believe its a mail.app ->imap ->gmail issue.
Dont get me started on the dreaded "All Mail" folder.

I have tried suffering through changing the message encoding back and forth to get messages to appear, but it has reached a level of absurdity that I just can stand anymore.
I view my mail with IMAP from three places; Mac Pro, MacBook Pro, and iPhone. If I read a message on any one of the platforms, the remaining Mac (not iPhone) do not display the header information in the message list pane. The iPhone always shows everything fine. And if I download the message first on one of the Macs, it looks fine there, but when that message is downloaded on the other Mac (doesn't matter which was first or second, the pro or macbook pro) the from, to, sent, subject are all invisible on the second machine.
I wrote an automator "watch me" recording to toggle message encoding, but with over 2000 affected email messages, it was taking hours to run, and makes that Mac useless until it is done.
I am less than happy with this situation. Why no bulk message encoding change capability? If you select more than one message the encoding options grey-out.
I've tried rebuilding mailboxes. Using the "defaults write ..." on both Macs. Nothing is working.
Surely someone else is seeing this too?
