[Hidden-tech] iPad Mail problem

[Jeff Rutherford]

I’ve encountered this issue with iPad Mail - several times recently - and it’s incredibly frustrating!

This morning I was at Starbucks in Northampton. I spent more than hour reading and processing email via the iPad Apple mail app. I deleted 100+ messages, archived some, etc. However, after all that time, I minimized Mail, checked something in my browser, went back to the Mail app, and I was looking at a completely full inbox again, as if I had done nothing for the past hour. More than 100 messages were sitting there marked as unread - that I had just spent an hour weeding through and reading.

With iOS Mail, I’m checking 5 different email accounts - several of those are gmail or google app accounts, 1 or 2 of them are IMAP accounts, etc. It was the same behavior across all accounts.

I’ve done some Googling, but couldn’t really find any solutions. Has anyone else encountered this issue? What did you do to solve it? It’s really, really frustrating. I’ve always liked the iPad exactly for the ability to process email without having to lug my laptop around. But, with this morning, I lost a couple of hours of work, and will have to “process” all this email once again via my laptop.

Any suggestions, solutions welcome.

Best,

Jeff
