Mail not working after update iOS 18.1.1

After the 18.1.1 my messenger app sent mail to my iCloud mail, never happened before. I changed that in settings. But now when l get mail in messenger app l don’t get notifications either by sound or on the messenger app

I just realized after doing this latest update that when I try to search my email I get this message.

I have already restarted my phone and it didn’t fix the issue. Getting tired of having issues after updates.

I don’t know what type of magic phone you have, but it’s not working for any of us

Would you like to share with the rest of the class what it is that you did to make it work or are you just gonna keep that to yourself?

my e-mail is not working properly after update 18.2.1

Well, “not working properly” could mean dozens of things. Before anyone can help you need to be MUCH more specific about what is not working property.

I have tried this numerous times after the update to no avail. I thought I'd search to see if there were any new solutions posted, and saw this, so I thought I would try again. It WORKED!! Thanks!!!

well, like everyone here, i'm soooo frustrated! My emails are constantly giving me account errors or connection to server failed. i cannot find my list of email accounts so i can check the passwords..... I HATE THE UPDATES!!! THEY CAUSE SO MUCH FRUSTRATION AND WASTED TIME!! COME ON APPLE

Or Apple could fix their mistake. It worked before the update. It didn’t work after the update. Screwing up thousands of people’s emails and blaming them or their email provider is adding insult to injury. The phones are expensive. I shouldn’t have to work my way through a laundry list of things that don’t work, and I shouldn’t need to reconfigure my phone or email providers. Apple screwed it up. They should fix it.

If you are that convinced the problem lies with Apple, tell Apple:

Product Feedback - Apple

Millions of us are not having any issues.

There is no mistake. Apple ADDED FEATURES to email, but provided a way to turn them off for users who don’t want them. What mistake are you talking about? Or didn’t you read any of this thread or the release notes: What’s new in iOS 18 - Apple Support

I see these comments starting back in November 2024 and here it is February 2025 and I just got the iPhone 16 Pro Max and I’m extremely disappointed with all the app mess. There is going on here. I wanna go back to my iPhone 13 Pro at least it was all pulled together.

This has been a pain to deal with. Please fix it. I shouldn't have to re-do things because of your issues.

I have no issues. I’m just a user like you in this user-to-user forum.

if you describe YOUR issue, or just read the thread you have posted to, whatever your issue is can be resolved. But you have to tell the other users here what it is. Unless your only purpose is to rant and not actually fix whatever the problem is.

I have now updated my iphone and ipad to ios 18.3.1 but still my email doesn't work. I've removed all my email accounts except iCloud. I've sent a test email from my Mac to my iCloud account (just says "hello, how are you" -- no attachments) and it takes about 15-20 minutes before it appears on my iphone and ipad -- the little wheel just goes round and round till the email finally appears --I'm just so fed up with this. My iphone is a new one and it's now rubbish. Even iCloud mail is so slow, never mind my third party accounts (Yahoo, Microsoft).

Things I've tried: 1) removing accounts and adding them again, (2) restarting the iphone & ipad, (3) turning VPN off, (4) changing iphone mail to List View as someone here suggested. None of these makes any difference.

Question: someone suggested that Categorising is going on in the background even when you've selected List View -- does this slow things down? Even so, the Categories/List View is only available on my iphone, not the ipad. The ipad doesn't have the Categories/List View option at all, and it's still really slow.

Tried it unfortunately that didn’t help me either. I still am constantly getting a message. That’s indicating that it’s not communicating with the exchange or something. I did not get all of these messages every single day before the update. I reboot in my phone several times. It’s gotta be the iPhone because my Microsoft computer works just fine, but having to go to my laptop computer to read emails is getting a bit frustrating. Apple just doesn’t seem to take any of these things seriously because there are so many people complaining about the same thing and yet what is Apple doing?

Since the upgrade, emails missing (I use, Apple Mail app to gmail), no notifications of unread emails. Wife has lost 2years of emails in the middle of her list of emails (iCloud Mail).

Terrible upgrade and the change to the format is awful.

Bring back the old format please.

I will not go with apple anymore - after every update something is not working

now its the email - just disappears at a click - does not load properly - just terrible - apple you should give to everyone who has a problem after a update a new phone or at least instructions how to fix the problem
