When I select Mail, Contacts, Calendars in settings the ipad will lock up and not display setting options.

When I noticed my mail not being delivered to my IPad I wanted to check the settings and make sure there wasn't an issue. When I click on the settings option nothing will display on the right side and the Settings screen will lock up. I can restore the IPad to original settings and this will fix the issue, but I need to restore all my apps to this IPad. Any suggestions of how I can delete the mail settings and set them back up?

Try a simple Reset - hold down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons together for 15 seconds - and try again!

My ipad is not showing the apn settings when i selected cellular data option on settings? y?

pvonk, you were right, something was amiss. It is just a shared calendar (me and my PA) and nothing I could do would seemingly connect the iCal and cloud accounts.
Late last night I upgraded from OSX 10.7.4 to 10.7.5, as I thought that might resolve some settings or minor corruptions in the way my Mac Book was working.
This morning I opened iCal, and once again it attempted to refresh the page. And a few seconds later my iCloud diary appeared on iCal.
The moral of this issue is I think as follows.... when you check all the settings and follow all the advice, and something like this is still not working then it could be the software is slightly corrupt, so a re-install or applying an update (if there is one available) will help resolve issues.
So spot on advice, something was amiss and is now resolved thanks

Maybe it is not 'THI' that Siri is saying. I think it is 'GHI'. When I get to the passcode screen, she says "passcode field zero values".

I used apple mail to access a go daddy email account, will all that is in the applemail be saved for off line use when the godaddy account is closed?

i used apple mail to access a go daddy email account, will all the data (folders, contacts, messages) be saved for off line use?

If it is saved to a local folder, then yes.
IMAP typically it stays on the server. POP typically you down load to your computer with the option of leaving it on the server.

iOS 8.1, mail fumction, date at bottom of email accounts the date hasn't changed since 9/26/14. How can I fixed this?

Thanks for the reply Brenden. However the problem is:
     At the very bottom of the "Mailboxes" screen (where I've got 6 email addresses that do work) there is on the far right (bottom right corner) an icon to compose a new message.
     In the center of that space is a generated message that says: 1) "downloading x of y" and 2) when finished downloading it says "Updated on 9/26/14." today is 11/6/14!
     My problem is that that date hasn't changed since I upgraded to iOS 8.1. The emails are current, but that date isn't!
Can you help?

How do I ensure mail is sent from the correct email account? I have two set up on my iPad, and it seems to choose which one to use somewhat randomly. This has happened both when using Mail and when emailing form another app.

I have two email accounts set up on my iPad -- one I use & one I monitor for a disabled person. On several occasions, mail I have composed and sent from my email account was sent showing the other account as the sender. This has happened both from within Mail and when emailing from other apps, such as Safari, Photos, etc. Any idea what is going on and how to prevent this from happening?

Are you confirming your POP account is selected as the sending email account before the message is sent?
And regardless if the email is a new email or is replying to or forwarding an email received by the POP account and cofirming the POP acconut is selected as the sending email account, the message is sent by the Gmail account?
All message sent by the POP account are sent by the Gmail account?
If so, delete the Gmail account from your iPad and test if a message sent with your POP account which will be the only email account available with the iPad's Mail app is recieved from your POP account/address.
If not, something else is wrong or on play that has nothing to do with the iPad.

On you iPad, force close all the Apps in the multitask window.
Follow these steps to force an app to close:
From the Home screen, click the Home button twice.
Tap and hold on the app.
When it starts to jiggle, tap the to close it on eby one until all cleared
Now do a Soft reset of your iPad:
Hold both Home and Sleep button for around 10secs until you see the Apple logo then release. After it returns to Home screen, check and see if this resolves the issue.

Hi:
I should also mention thatthe issue is with Mac Mail, which is where the messages are being forwarded to from the 3rd party email account.,......sorry for any confusion.
This is a problem that cropped up recently, i.e., previous to the past couple of weeks, she had no issues with trashing email.
Thanks,

Mail 5.3. Forces an email account to be off-line, refuses to download msgs.

I have 3 email accounts, a personal one, a cloud, and a company one. I open Mail. Tell it to take all accounts online. It does. I click the icon to tell it to download email msgs. It puts the little 'offline' symbol by the company account, and proceeds to download everything else. I click on the offline symbol and it says, "Offline status: This account (a2q_POP_account) appears to be offline due to a network problem. Do you want to try to go online now?"
I say yes, go online. It removes the offline icon indicator. I tell it to download msgs again, and it switches the account back to offline.
I have checked the account settings - incoming, outgoing servers, passwords, etc. so far as I can tell, they are the same as on the laptop (release 6.6).
My email server account provider (DSL?) passed it off to my internet provider. My internet provider passed it off to Apple.
Does any of this make sense? How can I make my PowerMac's mail work?

Mail reports the account offline when the Mail Server does not respond. This can be dues to bad password (which is why it tries to ask for a new password) Server too busy, wrong communication ports selected, encryption problems, and many other issues.
For commercial email, the check for passwords etc can be accomplished by using a web Browser and navigating to the Mail Server directly, and entering your Username and Password to collect your Mail directly (this is referred to as "Web Mail" pickup).
Often after several cycles of "enter a new password", the password stored on your Mac becomes damaged or gets deleted, and needs to be re-entered in:
Mail > Preferences > Accounts
Checking with your company representatives to verify Mail Server credentials such as: POP Vs. IMAP, what ports to be using, whether encryption is supported, and other parameters -- can be useful.
It is also important to understand that Mail uses TWO Servers -- one for Sending and one for Receiving, and that they have possibly different ports and password.

Mail can't completely forget an email account.

I've deleted an email account (hotmail) in Mail successfully, but the Mail application still logs on to the Hotmail server when I check mail. If I open "Connection Doctor" it clearly shows a successfull log-in to the server that I no longer wish it to bother. It doesn't do anything once it's there, so why it feels it needs to log-on is quite beyound me.
It appears Mail cannot forget.
The account nolonger appears in Mail>preferences>accounts or System preferences>mail contacts & calendars, so how do I stop it trying?

You neglected to delete the (outgoing) SMTP server as well as the POP (incoming) server.
Open Mail>Preferences>Accounts, click the dropdown next to the SMTP server heading, select Edit Server List, find the Hotmail server and delete it.

Spotlight & Mail Search Not Working After Deleting email Account's '.OfflineCache' File. How Do I Get Back to Normal?

Running OSX 10.7.4 and Mail.5.2.
One of 3 email accounts was constantly trying, but unable to synch. The rotating splines were turning non-stop but not synching (other two email accounts worked just fine.) After doing some searching on the internet, I found several articles about this. Many included the symptom of the "Recovered Messages" constantly being recovered/generated. I had noticed that I would get some recovered messages on occaision, but had never noticed it to be problematic. These articles suggested that the ".OfflineCache" file for that email account had been corrupted or the root of my problem. So, I deleted the .OfflineCach file as per this article...
Fix OSX Mail Creating Multiple 'Recovered Message
Well that got my mail working again. However, I soon noticed that spotlight no longer works and when I try to search mail, it doesn't work. It will only return a complete email address/contact; it doesn't search the contents of the email.
I tried to get spotlight to re-index the hard drive. However, when I try to drag a folder or volume to it, I get the error:
Since spotlight and mail search have always worked flawlessly for 5 years, I'm confident this is related to having deleted " .OffflineCache" for that particular email account. However, it seems strange that mail search won't work for the other email accounts.
Any other tips for getting spotlight back online?
How about the .OfflineCache file. Will Mail restore it, replace it on it's own?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, looking back, not long before this problem started, I was trying to send a single email with numerous pictures ( around 50 or so.) I forgot to select "medium" for the picture size and it started trying to upload them at full size. I realized this after a minute or two and cancelled the upload, changed to 'medium' and sent the email with no problem. I point this out because the "Multiple Recovered Messages" error seems to be related to or being induced by having an excessively large file in the particular mail account's .Offline.Cache file.

Well, a couple days later and it seems that the .offlinecache has been rebuilt. Finder, Spotlight, & Mail search all seem to be working normally now!

When i select "MAIL" pnly whitepage appears. Settings indicates 3 email accounts.
