Faulting MAIL App
iOS Version : 26.1
Model Name : iPhone 16 Pro Max
Model Number : A3296
Affected App : Apple Mail
Good day to you all
I'm having intermittent issues with Apple Mail where the Mail App will constantly display the following messages just below the INBOX folder of a mailbox when the Mail App is open:
- John Ness (GMX) • Updated Just Now
- Updating...
- Downloading...
It will keep on alternating between the messages.
I have done the following based on other postings in the community:
- Turned off PUSH in the Mail settings
- Set FETCH interval to 30 minutes
- Restarted Mail App
- Restarted iPhone
- (Previously: deleted Mail App & reinstalled Mail App)
I currently have five mailbox accounts set up:
- John Ness (GMX) [IMAP]
- John (Ness) [IMAP]
- xxxx (Ness) [IMAP]
- John Ness (Openair St.Gallen) [IMAP]
- iCloud [presumably IMAP]
The issue can occur with the 1st account or in the 4th account.
I have deleted some other accounts, because deleted e-mails kept reappearing in those accounts.
Questions:
- Is there going to be a fix for this? I have read multiple threads with similar issues.
- Is this problem a known issue with certain IMAP and/or POP providers?
- Is Apple looking into this issue or will I have to switch to alternate non-Apple products?
I appreciate your time and I am looking forward to a real solution.
Best regards, John
