If the lock with the circle is actually a circular arrow around the lock
Something like
There is a figure of a lock enclosed in a circle o - 355700.image16.jpg
it means that your phone is in Portrait Locked mode.


Will your phone go into Landscape orientation if you rotate the screen?

If this is the case then to unlock the orientation...

Double click the home button to bring up the multitasking bar.
Swipe left to right to scroll to the the orientation lock.
Tap it to lock or unlock.


Not sure what you mean about the messages.

    I am also not sure what was meant by the messages, but it could be that his emails weren't being downloaded from the server properly , which I have had in the past,.

It is called `portrait lock.` Pull up you bottom tray,by swiping upwards to get the bottom tray, then you will see the same icon, turn it off.

It just locks your screens orinetation.

Testimonial: "No, the icon with the little lock inside of a circle does not come up in respons to that maneuver. It is still there in the upper right corner of the screen. However, without my doing anything, the text of my emails has reappeared and the little lock remains!? So, my problemis solved but I haven't learned from the strange experience."

    Sorry can you take a screen shot of you phone so I can see what you are talking about I have added a screen shot of the lock that appears on mine when I lock the screen

Message counter problem

There are a few things that could cause this.
One, you might have a lot of old unread emails in your account that you have never opened or deleted.
If that's not the case, I would recommend deleting your email account of your phone and re-adding it.

How do I empty my Iphone mailbox

Doesn't matter which folder you're in, it works the same - just hit "Edit" at the top - all of the emails scoot to the right revealing a faint circle. Tap the circle next to the message you want to delete and it'll turn red. There will then be a button at the botton that says "Delete" with the number of msgs you've selected in parentheses.

If you want to totally empty every message, you'll have to select each one and then delete them, but in the trash folder there will be a button that says "Delete All" at the bottom after you hit "Edit"

Received message"Account Locked"????

Look at the message headers or the link address in the email - lots of phishing email states that your account is "locked" and asks you to login - do not do that. It is someone trying to get usernames and passwords. Report this by forwarding the email to [email protected]
