How To Fix Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Emails Not Loading

Problem: My emails load but when I click on an individual email, the content doesn’t load or it takes forever. Also, when searching through emails it takes forever to find what I’m searching for. I end up going to the Gmail app which searches and finds what I’m looking for almost instantaneously. I have multiple email accounts set up thru Google apps, office 365 hosted exchange and others, which is why I use the mail app vs Gmail.

Related Problem: Yahoo emails won’t load on Note 9 Over the past couple days I’ve been noticing that most of my yahoo emails (not all) will not load. I have 3 accounts on my yahoo which all encounter the same issue. One thing I do notice is when I toggle the “shrink email to fit screen” on & off it temporarily fixes the issue for 1 email but having to constantly do this is very tedious & annoying . I have also tried many solutions to fix the issue such removing account and re-adding, clear cache ect with no success . I have also been experiencing a lot of “Authentication error” messages with my wifi connection at the same time no matter how many times I re-add

Solution: Before performing any troubleshooting steps on the phone it’s best to make sure that the device is running on the latest software version. If an update is available then you should download and install it first.

There are several factors that can cause this particular problem ranging from the Internet connection to a software glitch. Listed below are the recommended troubleshooting steps for this particular problem.

Check the phone Internet connection

Since the email app requires an Internet connection to work you should make sure that your phone is connected to a strong and stable Wi-Fi network. To eliminate the possibility that it is the network that is causing the problem then you should try connecting the phone to a different Wi-Fi network then check if the problem still occurs. You should also check if the issue occurs when the phone is using a mobile data connection.

If the problem is caused by an app glitch then you should try force closing this app then open it again.

• From any screen, press the Recent apps key, located on the bottom left corner of the screen.
• To close an individual recent application, touch an application (email app) from the list and drag it to the right or left or tap the ‘X’.
• To close all recent applications, tap the Clear all icon.

Clear the cache and data of the email app

There are instances when the cached data of the email app can become corrupted and can affect the way the app works. To eliminate this factor you should clear the cache and data of the email app.

• From the Home screen, swipe up on an empty spot to open the Apps tray.
• Tap Settings > Apps.
• Tap the desired application in the default list or tap 3 dots icon > Show system apps to display pre-installed apps.
• Tap Storage.

Start the phone in Safe Mode

There are cases when  third party apps will cause issues to occur on a device. To check if an app you downloaded is causing the problem you will have to start the phone in Safe Mode as only the pre-installed apps are allowed to run in this mode.
