The Mail thing was weird. I thought it was maybe an update or even a network issue as I had recently changed my router. I eventually gave up and replaced Mail with another email client.

I'm about 30 seconds away from doing the same. It's honestly woeful how bad it is. Probably just going to move to the Fastmail client directly, I suppose.

was? is!

They still haven't fixed it.

I don't use emails enough on my iPhone to make the effort to try another client, but the unread bubble is still stuck at 2, no matter how much unread emails I actually have. The app randomly shows or hides some emails...

Genuine Question: What problem did you encounter within the Mail App?

Where do I begin? I guess saying that using thunderbird or neomux is a huge upgrade. Just the ability to filter or add tags is huge. But I don't know an alternative in iOS which frequently doesn't even update and inline displays pdfs making it easier for scammers

Not the original commenter, but it regularly fails to update emails unless it is restarted. Last 2 major iOS versions have had the same problem for me. That’s a fundamental functionality failure in my book.

This! Continuously restart app to read new mail.

Thanks! I didn't notice it because I only have manual mail fetch. But I did notice frequent crashes of the app when you open heavy email (e.g with lots of images)

It's pretty embarrassing that Apple doesn't bother fixing this issue.

You need to block Siri in it and then it works fine again.
