Msg. won't quit downloading

Apple iPhone - Msg. won't quit downloading



Anybody know why an email would not finish downloading to my 3gs (OS 4.1)? I can't access this message, so I don't know who it's from or to what address it is going (I have 4 email addresses). I've tried a hard reset, with no luck. Any suggestions??? All other mail seems to be working fine.

Try syncing your iPhone and see if message persists.

Try opening that on a computer.

Do you mean by hard reset that you turned off and rebooted? That's usually an indication it's locked up. Some times it can be fixed by trying another function and coming back. Other times a re boot is required. Hopefully iPhone 4 is better about it.

I have turned the phone off and back on many times, and eventually tried hitting "reset" within the settings, which reset all of my preferences, etc. It is still spinning in the mailbox app, saying "downloading 1 of 1" with the download bar all the way full.

This is more of a nuisance than a problem. I just wish it would go away!!!

For all of you that are having endless downloading, in the Mail, Contacts, Calendar settings, how do you have the following set?

Show? 25, 50 or 200 emails?
Preview? None to 5 lines?
Organize by Thread? on or off?

And is it a IMAP or POP account you are having problems with?

Threading has been an issue in the iOS Mail app. Turning off threading gets rid of posts that are improperly started and thread. These appear as NO Sender, NO Subject, and No Message. Turning off Threading reveals all of the above.

If you notice, it seems that only those of you with gmail or yahoo accounts are having problems.
