The main reasons for not receiving emails on an iPhone typically include poor or no internet connection, full email storage, service outages from the email provider, incorrect email settings, or an outdated Mail app. Troubleshooting steps often recommended are:
- Verify iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi or cellular data.
- Check email account settings and passwords are correct.
- Refresh the Mail app by pulling down the inbox screen to manually sync emails.
- Check email storage and clear space if full.
- Update the Mail app and iOS to the latest versions.
- Remove and re-add the email account in Settings.
- Restart the iPhone to clear temporary glitches.
- Check if email filters or sorting are hiding messages.
- Verify Fetch New Data settings are properly configured for email sync.
If problems persist, checking the email provider's service status and testing email on another device can help identify if it's a device or provider issue.
