If you delete the copy in Sent, the one in Inbox will become “readable”. If it is “bad” in Inbox, the copy in Sent is also “bad”. This might be what is contributing to the randomness of the e-mail being “readable” or “bad”.Īnyway, here’s what I found out in my testing (it gets a bit complex):Īfter you send yourself an e-mail from the Mail app, whether the received e-mail is “readable” or “bad” depends on where you open it first.ġ- If you tap on the e-mail in the Inbox folder first, it will be random (so it seems). The Mail app doesn’t seem to correctly switch between the two copies when tapping between them. One arrives into your “Inbox” folder and the other copy stays in your “Sent” folder. When you send an e-mail to yourself via the Mail app, you essentially end up with 2 copies of this e-mail. The bug is still present in iOS / iPad OS 14.4.

One other bug is that it keeps automatically fetching e-mails even when it is set to “Manually” in Settings.Īnyway, I noticed this “message cannot be displayed” issue as well, basically only on e-mails that I send to myself from my iPhone or iPad. If you are using an email client, you’ll need to tell it to do the same so that it doesn’t go removing emails before your phone gets a chance at downloading them.Īpple’s Mail app has been buggy for quite a while now, actually. If you have concerns about your phone getting filled up with email, just tell it to keep the most recent XX days of email.

By configuring your phone to leave messages on the server, your messages will be available everywhere. If that is the case, you would no longer see messages using other methods such as web browser or email client. Keep in mind that POP3 may be configured to remove email from the server after it has been downloaded to your phone. You may not get new messages when you are away from WiFi but at least you won’t loose the ones you had received. If that is your case and you want your messages to always be available on your iPhone, use POP3 instead. If you don’t have a data plan, you won’t be able to see your messages when you are not connected over WiFi. IMAP messages actually stored on the server, not on your iPhone.
