Ugly bug in the email app in iOS8! Fix it quickly!

The new feature of sliding or swiping email messages to flag/delete/archive is horribly broken.
When I slide a message to the left, several colored "buttons" (or how you name then) show up - but they wont stop and wait me to touch them!
Instead, the rightmost button fills the whole tile and then its action immediately executes (in my case it was DELETE. Oops. No undo!).
More to this, the swipe settings in Mail/calendar... setup do not mention these "buttons", neither let me disable the automatic action or choose the buttons.
I really, really hate this behavior. Even if some people like this, I beg at least to make this behavior optional (and I will opt out!).
The colored buttons MUST stop after sliding out, and do not do anything automatically until pressed.
And there better should be UNDO, like in gmail.

If you just do a quick swipe as opposed to a slide/drag then you will get equal sized More Flag and Delete buttons :

The email app do not open any of displayed messagess.

In attempt to fix the problem I did close the email app and rebooted the device by holding the sleep and home buttons till the apple logo appear. Now the app began to crash after click on the message's title on the left sige barr on the scean. Any solutins exept restoring ftom backup? The iPad is runing "IOS 5.1.1". The email app can not be deleteed, I think.

Is it a particular email that you are trying to select ? If it is then it may be a problem with that email so you could try deleting it by logging into your account on a browser.
And by closing the Mail app do you mean just minimising or closing it via the iPad's Taskbar ? If you haven't tried closing it via the taskbar then you could also try that : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, 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.

I have an AOL account but usually get to my email on AOL via Safari. It seems to work better and faster than using the Mac desktop AOL has. However, how come my email box on safari is different than my email box when I go to it from the AOL desktop?
In other words, my AOL email box via safari is more updated. When I go to my AOL email box via the AOL desktop...it seems that there are older emails in it that I've already read and even trashed when I saw them in safari.
Why does that happen? It never bothered me, I just used safari to get to AOL, but now that I have a Touch, when I use the email app that came with it...my AOL email is outdated. It's the AOL email box I get on the AOL desktop, and not the more current email box that I can access through safari.
Does anyone even understand what I'm asking and experiencing?!!!

Hi there!
I am almost sure you have your email settings at AOL to "leave copy on server" or somting similar to that. If that is the case, even if you delete an email it will always be on the server, so when you go and use another app to access your mail, it will download all email. You might be using POP instead of IMAP...
Good luck, Rick

HT1695 What is an Exchange account? When I open the email app I get the message "Password Incorrect. Enter the password for the Exchange account "Exchange""

What is an Exchange account? When I open the email app I get the message "Password Incorrect. Enter the password for the Exchange account "Exchange""

An Exchange account is an e-mail account serviced my a Microsft Exchange server... Typically a corporate e-mail account. It used to be possible to configure a free gmail account as an Exchange account, but it is no longer possible to set one up that way.

I received an e mail to access my friends photo stream but I am not able it says to use the email app

my I mac is 2.93 Ghz intel core 7 8g capacity i received an invitation to see my friends photo stream and it says to use the email app i tried it just brings me back to the same page to use the email app any suggestions

You'll need iPhoto '11 (available in the Mac App Store) to view them in iPhoto on your Mac. When you install it, you'll be able to go to System Preferences>iCloud and check Photos. Then when you subscribe to the shared stream you will find it in the iCloud section of iPhoto (see below).
Otherwise, you can ask the owner of the shared stream to enable the Public Website option and send you the link. This will give you a link to view them on the web from your browser.

I cannot access my Gmail content on the EMail app, I cannot access my Gmail content on the EMail app

Hi, after updating this morning to Mavericks, I cannot access my Gmail content on the Email App. I am using Macbook Air. Thanks.

same here. Google is reporting too many connections. My problem is that prior to the upgrade it was working "ok". So its clearly a 10.9 issue

New email on iphone 6 IOS 8 is delayed and won't update until you lauch the email app

New email that is received on an iphone 6 (IOS 8) doesn't update # until you actually launch the email app. At that time the new email badge updates and VIP notifications are activated. How do I correct this so that it updates immediately as email is received.

Hi Georgiegog,
If you are not getting updates in Mail until you launch the app, you may want to check in Settings to make sure that Push delivery is active, as noted on this page:
Mail settings - iPhone

Using the Email App?

Does sending email via the App on the home screen incur any fees if I only use WiFi and have my data block on? I was not sure if Verizon has some way of charging for that use or not, even though you may have data blocked.

Hey, rich215. No, you will not be charged for using the email app if you're on Wi-Fi and have data blocked. The only charges associated with using email are data charges, and you have that covered.
A scenario where a customer could unknowingly be charged is if he didn't have a data block and had email set to sync at intervals, rather than checking it manually ... then he'd be charged for email syncing when not in a Wi-Fi area.

How do I copy all the email addresses in my Address Book quickly?

How do I copy all the email addresses in my Address Book quickly so that I can email a change of address?

From the Address Book help file:
Notify contacts when your vCard changes
When you change your contact information, you can send a group email message to your contacts. The message contains your updated vCard and a message from you.
1. If you don’t have a group of addresses, create one.
2. Choose File > Send Updates.
3. In the Send Updates dialog, select one or more groups to notify. If some contacts in the group have multiple email addresses, you can choose which address to use.
4. Type a subject title and a message, and then click Send.

Clicking the Trash button on email alerts brings the email app to front

I have a mid-2010 MBP, and I just upgraded to Mavericks. Also, I switched to AirMail as my default email app as Mail has issues handling Gmail (or Gmail IMAP is the one with issues... whatever). AirMail seems to be working flawlessly so far.
The problem is with the pop up notifications (alerts). Being able to delete email message directly from the pop up notifications (alerts) is great, except it brings the mail app to focus/front, which beats the whole purpose of the shortcut. Am I the only one having this issue, or is this one of the many bugs in Mavericks?

GO to settings, mail, contacts and calendars and right at the top is 'add an account'
Add the login info for your mail account and follow the prompts. then you should be able to mail from your iPad.

Is this a possible bug on the Facebook app for iPhone?

I tend to suffer from slight paranoia regarding security online and on my phone. I'll try to explain the worry I'm having as best I can.
Basically, I had a personal video on my phone, (nothing horrible don't worry), but it's of a nature that would be embarrassing to be seen by other people.
So this video was the latest thing I had recorded/taken with my phone. I went onto the Facebook app on my iPhone to post an older picture I had to my page.
When I saw that this video was still on my phone, I panicked and worried that it could somehow get posted to my page without me actually posting it e.g. a bug whereby the last picture or video taken would go onto your Facebook without you actually selecting it or posting it. So I deleted it while still on the grid page where you choose your photos/videos and so it disappeared when I went back to the app.
Can anyone with 100% honesty tell me one way or another if this is possible? If I haven't explained it enough let me know and I'll explain it further. Again, please be honest cos it's the best thing for me. Thanks.

It may be in Facebook, but Facebook doesn't consider it a bug; it's the way Facebook works. If you gave the app permission to view your photos it gives Facebook access to ALL of your photos. To put your mind at ease go to your Facebook page on your computer and see if it's there.
If you are concerned about privacy online you probably shouldn't have a Facebook page

I regularly send emails larger than 1 Mb with the Mail app in my iPad so it's not that. But it could be your email service provider that sets a limit.

Is there anyway to kill the email app. without rebooting the phone?

I get emails, but I can't do anything on the screen. It is totally unresponsive to touch. In addition, my sleep button is broken, so I can't reboot the phone. (ordered new one, but not getting it for weeks). Is there anyway to kill the email application without rebooting the phone?

Thanks, I figured as much. Will I be able to save all my apps and content by importing them to my computer and then uploading them back to my iPad after I upgrade the iOS? If so, do you happen to know if a gen 1 iPad running an iOS 4.2.1 is able to upgrade to an iOS 5? I did read online that the iOS 6 is NOT compatible with it so I want to be sure the iOS 5 is before I go through the trouble...

Where is the Email app in FF os. Mac-user OSX 10.10.1 mac mail.

I installed the add-on Encrypted Communication on my iMac OSX 10.10.1. Apple Mail is my mail-app. Kensington track ball my mouse.
This combination does not work together. Right click in the textarea has no effect. Searching for information pointed to the Mail app in Firefox OS. But this app is not available.
What to do?
Thanks,
Jan Geenen

Firefox OS isn't the same as the Firefox web browser, which doesn't have a "mail app".

After opening an email of photos from my mom, the email app won't open. I've rebooted the iPad, I've closed the app and reopeneded it. When I open it I get the basic frame (reply button, delete, etc) but none of my accts show up.

When I first opened the email, it took forever to open. Then the pics didn't show up as pics, but as a ton of some kind of code. Since then, the app will open with just the frame, no info in the frame, no email accts or anything. Then it closes automatically after a few seconds.
I've closed the app and reopened it, rebooted the iPad, and gone online and deleted the email itself. But the app still won't open. Help, please!!

Thank you. I tried the soft reboot again, and the home button has been working fine this whole time. I have tried deleting the email acct from the settings and the mail app still opens only empty frames. I have a screen shot of it, but don't know how to post it here to be able to show what exactly is happening.
The mail app will open. I can see the area that usually shows the messages themselves. I can also see the area that usually displays all the accts. Both these areas are completely blank. The search bar is showing on the left hand side, and up on the top right, the download button, reply, delete and compose buttons are showing. At the very bottom left the refresh button is showing. The app sits like that for about 20 seconds and then automatically closes. None of the buttons are responsive. I cannot see any of the email accounts I have in the app (3, usually but 2 at the moment since deleting the acct that seemed to have caused this problem).
I have force-stopped the app, shut down and restarted the iPad, and rebooted the iPad. None of these have helped.
