Apple Mail on iOs Showing Only Inbox Folder, Not Showing Draft, Sent, Junk, etc. With Gmail Account

 For some reason out of the blue Apple Mail on my iPhone stopped showing Gmail subfolders (Draft, Sent, Junk, etc.) and only displayed a single Inbox folder. It also was acting up, being really slow, showing an empty screen, closing by itself, not showing all messages, and other niceties.

I fixed this abhorrent behavior by going into: Settings, Apps, Mail, Mail Accounts, selecting the Gmail account that was acting up, Account Settings, Advanced. Scrolled down to IMAP Path Prefix. In my case it showed a greyed forward slash "/".

I typed "INBOX" instead, (you can type whatever you want really, it's just to populate the space with something), clicked Back, Done.

Then I clicked again on Account Settings, Advanced. Scrolled down again to IMAP Path Prefix. Erased "INBOX", it then defaulted again to the greyed out forward slash "/". Clicked Back, Done.

And... Voila, all the Gmail subfolders are showing again under the Gmail account. Mail is working normally.

Getting Stuck With Apple's iOS "Apple media terms and conditions have changed" Blank Page / Nothing Happens

This stupid bug has been going for a while now, tracing back to iOS 8, people -me included- are still facing this with iOS 11.

At some point Apple updates its Terms and Conditions and forces you to accept them in order to download new apps from the App Store.

But again and again when the user clicks the OK button she is faced with a BLANK SCREEN. Nothing happens. And after quitting the App Store and trying to download again, same scenario. BLANK SCREEN nothing happens.

Like other users I've tried everything: quit the App Store, log-out, log-in, restart the device, wait for 5min., wait for 10min., in any order, NOTHING WORKS.

- This is the ONLY THING THAT WORKED for me - WARNING you must have access to an Apple Computer.

Create a new account, open App Store on your Mac, log-in WITH THE SAME CREDENTIALS you use on your iOS device.

Download a random App. At which point Apple will flash the "Apple media terms and conditions have changed" message. Click OK, log-out.

DONE!

Now if you go back to your iOS device, the message WILL NOT SHOW since you've already accepted the terms on your computer. Is this STUPID or what?

Really Apple, really?
