Why is the mail-app using so much space?

My iPhone is desperately needing some RAM-space to operate, space that is currently in use by the Mail-app. After I have deleted all messages (inbox, sent and trash) the mail-app still takes up for 7,0 GB of space. Somehow it seems not to delete messages (and or attachments) that should have been deleted from the device, or it there something else wrong? Can anyone help me to get rid of the junk in the Mail-App?

Thanks for the suggestion. In that case I would like to know how to delete seperately stored attachments on my iPhone, since I already deleted each and every one of my e-mails. (cleared all inboxes, sent boxes, trash.... all of them). And even after deleting all e-mails it still takes up 7 GB.

  • Why does the messaging app take so much space (5.6??) Also when I try to delete messages, it still shows 5.6. help me!

    Hi,
    I have barely any space left on my phone. ios7 messaging app takes so much space. How can I stop this?

    Your phone needs more storage, buying storage on iCloud.com doesn't change that.
    Delete some of the stuff off of your phone, it's full.

  • On my iPad home screen, the mail app used to indicate the number of new emails I had with a number in a red circle.  This has vanished since I upgraded.  Does anyone know why, and how to restore this?

    On my IPad 2 home screen, the mail app used to indicate the number of new messages with a number in a red circle, next to the app.  This has vanished, I think about the same time as when I upgraded to the new OS.  Does anyone know why and how to restore this feature? 

    Thanks.  While you were replying to my question, I went into notifications and figured
    it out.  Appreciate the quick response!

  • Why does the Mail.app CC: field puts me first on the CC: list although I was not ?

    Why does the Mail.app CC: field always rearranges the list so I am first on the CC: list although the sender intentionally did not ?
    I did not see how and where to de-activate this unnecessary intrusion in the company's communication codes.
    iOS on my iphone, correctly leaves my name where it is in the CC: list.

    Hi starbux48,
    Yahoo! partnered with Apple to allow an IMAP style offering on the iPhone, free of charge for their users. However that feature is only available if you use the iPhone. If you want IMAP/POP access on computers then you'd need to upgrade to the Plus level account.

  • Why is the iPhone 5 using so much data I have read a lot of complaints and I have went over on my plan and never have?

    Why is the iPhone 5 using so much data I have read a lot of complaints and I have went over on my plan and never have?
    I have even turned off LTE. Cut off my cellular data off of apps. Still uses data I switched back to my iPhone 4 cause I had used my
    Data in 2 weeks!

    I have the same problem on my 4S 64G: I updated to 7.1.1 and burned through my cellular data allowance without running anything that ought to be using it. I incurred an overage charge on Thursday, my new billing cycle started on Friday, and I immediately had used 3/4 of my allowance for the new cycle. I typically do not use my allowance in an entire month so burning through it in a day or two twice in one week is very much not right.
    Possibly unrelated or not: last night I was out, did NOT use any apps that should use cellular data, and came home and my phone refused to connect to my home wifi despite turning this and that on and off. I burned cellular allowance while wifi was available.
    It seems like someting on my phone, whether an app or the iOS itself, is using cellular data even while my phone is not in use. All I could do is turn off Cellular Data in Settings but that very much diminishes the usefulness of a phone that has served me well -- without data overages! -- for several years.
    Please fix this, Apple!

  • Why is the Mail app deleting mail from my account?

    Hi. I have used the mail app before and when i used it (i have hotmail) i connected it and all, but it started to delete mail from my hotmail account from the mail app. I have the newset software and i heard that a new mail app came. Is this fixed? I do not want to lose any emails from my hotmail account.
    Thanks in advance!

    My primary email account is with my ISP. Through their webpage access to my account, I have it set to forward all mail (without deleting it) to my MobileMe account. I have Mail set to acess my MobileMe account only. This allows me to get all my mail without any of it actually leaving the ISP's mailbox.

  • Why does the mail app think my email username and or password is wrong, when they are correct?

    I used to be able to check my AOL email through the mail app on my ipod touch. Recently it has been telling me that my username and/or password for my AOL email is wrong. I checked my username and password by logging in to my email on my computer. I tried deleteing and readding the account. Restoring then readding. I am able to use my gmail accounts on my ipod touch.

    Hi,
    Is your AOL account an AOL Kids account?  I have seen problems with AOL Kids accounts before in Apple Discussions.  Try a forum search and see if anything useful comes up. 
    Hope this helps!

  • Why does the Mail App suck ?

    Why the **** doesn't this work !?
    I'm trying to manage my email through the default mail app in iOS. When I tried to delete more that 90 emails.
    The ******* app crashed. I tried it again, thought it was a fluke.
    SAME ******* THING HAPPENED AGAIN !
    So then I thought I'd close all my apps, restart my iPhone and maybe that help.
    Nope ! It was a ******* trick  ! Happened to me again.
    Then I tried to delete 50 emails. The app crashed again.....
    How ?!?!?!?
    Worst part was that I had to tediously pick EVERY SINGLE EMAIL ONE AT A TIME !
    Wasn't there a "select all" button in iOS at one time ? Where did it go ?!? Why isn't it there to begin with !?!?!?

  • TS3276 Why is the Mail app mixing up my Yahoo and Gmail accounts? I am receiving mail in each account that appears to have "crossed over" from the other account.

    I have Mail set up with 2 different accounts (1 Yahoo and 1 Gmail). I am missing messages in my Yahoo account that all of a sudden appear in my Gmail account. I thought Mail was suppose to keep these accounts separate. There is nothing to connect the 2 accounts. (I am not accidentaly sending out e-mails using the wrong account) Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thank you!

    Have you done this: Mail  >>  Preferences  >>  Accounts  >>  Accountinformation  >>  uncheck gmail Account 2.
    Or remove gmail Account 2 at all from the MacBook by clicking on the minus sign.

  • Why does the Mail app (among other apps) go bananas when you try to select multiple emails to delete for instance?

    I have an iPhone 4S and it's as if the function to select mulitple emails is still there in iOS 7, but it's not possible to execute it. When I try to select several emails it often automatically deselects some or all of the emails almost instantaneously. After a while, you are able to select all email that you want to delete fast enough and then press delete. Very strange. This worked so much better in the previous iOS, what has happened and how do I solve it? It's like the touch screen is totally inaccurate.
    Best regards,
    Staffan

  • Why does the mail app always freeze?

    at times i realize i haven't receive an email in a while...to realize app is frozen. I can enter the app, but its blank. no mailboxes, nothing.

    I am having the same issue. It was happening with the original iOS 5 update, the most recent update didn't fix it. When you open it the screen is just blank. It does have the refresh icon at bottom. It that's it. Also having issue with spotlight search and battery. Battery take a long time to charge and decreases very fast. It decreased 2% while I typed this post alone!! 

  • I can no longer receive mail using the mail app? I have to go online instead - why?

    Hej some one,
    I can no longer receive mail using the mail app? I have to go online instead - why & what can I do?

    Check your smtp preferences in mail.app.
    See if mail.app's Connection Doctor has any useful info.  Does it's status indicate all is ok?  When you use it's Show Detail are there any (useful) error messages?

  • Why am I not able to use iCloud Drive with the Mail app?

    I have an iPad Air and recently updated to the latest iOS currently version 8.0.2.  I understand that Apple just opened up iCloud Drive to be able to access your documents or anything within your iCloud account.  I like the feature of being able to access docs from Pages, Keynote, and other apps.  However, it's unfortunate that I simply cannot access my iCloud Drive from the Mail app.  Is there a step that I'm missing to access my documents via iCloud Drive within the Mail app?  Any feedback would be much appreciated.. Thanks in advance!

    Full functionality for iCloud Drive will not be available until Yosemite is released.

  • Recently bought a used iphine 4s whiped it clean started fresh but ever sin e i got it the mail app reads that i have 98 messages i open it and it just shows white screen amd wont do anythingo

    why cant i read my mail in the mail app? It shows i have 98 messages but ehen opened just shows a white screen

    Try quitting the Mail app and reset your device. To quit an app double click the Home button to reveal the row of recently used apps. Flick up on the page preview and it will fly away and disappear. That quits the app. Then press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
