How to Fix Airmail Battery Drain on iPhone

Airmail is using too much battery on your iPhone.

1. Go to iPhone Settings > Battery.

2. Scroll down to find Airmail’s battery usage.

3. Check “Background Activity” — high background usage often causes drain.

1. Open Airmail > Settings > Accounts.

2. For each account, set fetch to Manual instead of Push.

3. Or set it to fetch every 15, 30, or 60 minutes instead of real-time push.

1. Go to iPhone Settings > General > Background App Refresh.

2. Set Airmail to Wi-Fi only instead of “Wi-Fi & Cellular”.

3. Or disable it entirely if you don’t need background sync.

• Disable sync for accounts you rarely check on mobile.

• Go to Airmail Settings > Accounts and toggle off less-used accounts.

• Go to Settings > Accounts > Days to Sync.

• Reduce it to 7 days or 3 days instead of 30 days.

• Less data synced means less battery used.

• If Airmail uses location services, disable them in iOS Settings > Privacy > Location Services.

If battery drain persists after all these optimizations, try deleting and reinstalling Airmail. Your emails are safely stored on the server and will re-sync.
