Cannot email from Flipboard, but I used to

When I hit share in Flipboard on my iPad, it brings up the usual window. When I touch email, Flipboard shuts down completelly.


I've clearned the cache, forced the app to shut down, made sure my operating system and app are up to date. Email works perfectly when I open the mail app that is native on the iPad.


Now what?

Seems this issue with Flipboard is still happening.


Environment: iPad 7th Gen, iOS 17.3.1



Seems this actually started happening with iOS 16.x. Worked fine under iOS 15.x. If I remember

correctly, I likely updated to iOS 16 over last summer. Then to iOS 17 a couple of months ago.


When opening Apple Share and selecting eMail, the app will open and create a new msg. After

recipient is filled in and the UP ARROW (send) button is selected, that window closes and no

sound is heard, indicating sent eMail, nor is there any copy in the Sent box.


Through the Apple Share I can select the Copy action and manually open my eMail and create a

mew msg, pasting the link. That completes as normal with the swoosh sound and a msg appearing

in the Sent box. Problem with this step is that (1) it requires more steps and (2) the use

information, including pre-population of the Subject, etc. is not available.


Seems that Flipboard can open Apple eMail to create the msg, but when the Send button is

selected, the msg window closes and nothing happens. It would appear to be an Apple / iOS

matter.


With the last two iOS updates, I believe, that have been some additional local network access

selections that needed to be made for select apps. However, I cannot find anything like this

for Flipboard, etc.


I understand what "should" happen, but all the directions just reiterate how to use Apple

Share. That part works. The eMail msg is created. Then nothing happens beyond hitting the Send

button and the window closing. Once that window is created, isn't it an iOS action to continue

forward?
