Emails just disappear

Recently I’ve started having a problem on my IPhone 12….taking time to write an email, hit send, everything seems normal, and I wait for a reply to me email. Only to follow up and find the recipient never received an email from me, it’s not in my sent folder, draft box….it just disappeared. Really frustrating, especially after writing a long email with a lot of detail, and trying to remember everything to rewrite it again is a pain in the asp!

I was having the same issue and saw on another thread that I needed to change my mail setting-under setting/mail-switch off delay send. Mine was set to 10 seconds so if I closed the mail app before that 10 sec I guess it wouldn’t send. So frustrating! I’ve had some amazingly worded emails just disappear and the 2nd draft is just never as good.

Who is your mail provider, I would start with their support and see why that is happening. Or the recipient did receive it and it went to their junk/spam folder.


try logging on to your mail account on a web browser and check your sent folder.
