So on my longwards journey to try and Apple’s infamous device to handle email, I investigataed A LOT of solutions… this one I found sitting on the InterWeb – and certainly it managed to alleviate my problems to some extent.
With the kind permission of Jim Martin (Traveller 2.0) then, I reproduce the solution steps here:
- On the iPhone, delete all e-mail accounts.
- Reset the iPhone’s network settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings).
- Disable Wi-Fi (some e-mail accounts don’t work properly if set up the first time with Wi-Fi in use, he explained).
- On the iPhone, manually re-add the e-mail accounts. (When setting up my sbcglobal.net e-mail account, which is now an AT&T Yahoo service, I was advised to choose Yahoo as the service provider.)
- Disable e-mail syncing with iTunes.
I think I’ve had some additional problems to a lot of people with the email client, however this might work for you.
I’d also suggest having a look at Jim’s blog – it’s a great read, and as Jim says, “Technology news & views for people on the go“

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
