My mail application doesn't show e-mails in a timely manner. They show up hours after they are sent. Any idea what I can do?

Question

When I click on the stamp to get my e-mails, some of them come up but not all of them.  I can open a window and log into aol and see that
it shows I have a lot more e-mails that don't appear in my mail application.   Also, some e-mails disappear before I have a chance to open
them.  I don't know what's going on.  If I close out my mail application and re-open it, they reappear.  Does anyone know how to help me?

Answer 1

All email recipients are stored in a list of previous recipients that is used for the autofill feature when addressing a message in addition to the address book. The Mail.app on a Mac includes the same along with an option to access the list of previous recipients. You can add a previous recipient to the Address Book that is not already entered, or remove a previous recipient from the list.
Access to the list of previous recipients with the iPhone's mail client is not available - at the present time anyway.
If you restored your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup, this data is included with your iPhone's backup.
To get rid of what is currently in the list of previous recipients at the present time requires restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup. Relatively big price to pay regarding something that shouldn't be extremely difficult to ignore - at least until access to the list of previous recipients is supported.
