Odd 3GS Exchange Mail behavior

[navychop]

A few days ago, checking the mail on my iPhone 3GS yielded normal downloading behavior, but all the messages listed "This message has no content" or some such, and a date of 12/31/00. Well, I checked the settings and they were correct. And no one else remotely checking their mail has had this happen to them. Just one more quirk that has pushed me to the iPhone 5. Well, as I called up the mail earlier today to post the exact message, it just randomly started working again.

Anybody ever see anything like this or have any idea what happened?

I haven't seen such problem, but this could've been a glitch on the Exchange server side. Some temporary synchronization problem.

For just my phone, and no one else's? And lasting for days?

When I've seen this happen (quite a few times) I kill the mail app from the task switcher and launch it again, it resyncs and everything is fine.

Unless they've fixed the bug in iOS6, getting a new phone isn't going to magically make this go away.

Yeah Ive had this problem too quite a few times.. Do what Pepper says and it will look better.

Hmm... The same strange thing happened on my iPhone 4 (not yet upgraded to iOS 6) this morning. Not sure what caused it, but I killed and restarted the Mail app and everything looks fine now. I'll keep an eye on it.
