Mail applic on iPad shuts down unexpectedly since moving from 4.2 to 4.3, all the time

Question

Hello,
ever since upgrading from 4.2 to 4.3 and higher I am experiencing unexpected application closure in the mail program. I have several mail accounts synced with my iPad (1 yahoo, 1 gmail and 2 exchange). I never had this experience under 4.2!

Here's a few ideas to get you (and the other posters as well) back to "normal" operations. The following three steps seem to clear up all but the more bizarre aspects of wireless networking and the touch:
1. Reboot your router (unplug it from AC power). This will eliminate any router accumulated errors.
2. Reset the touch network settings - Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings
3. When the touch restarts, tap Settings > WiFi > Other and re-enter your network name, security, and network password.
Here's a few other things that can cause problems:
1. WEP encryption - use WPA2-TKIP or use the master WEP hex key in place of your network password
2. Make sure your router firmware is up to date. No firmware update available and your router is >3 years old? - time to consider buying a new one.
3. Automatic channel changing by the router - pick one and stay with it.
4. Router QOS service - newer routers with media streaming features may cause some problems
5. Not sure if AES encryption (as in WPA2-AES) works correctly. Try the TKIP version which does work.
6. Hidden Network SSIDs - useless as a security measure and it can force you to log onto your network each time.
