Reduce number of emails downloaded

Hi, how do I reduce the number of emails downloaded to the mail ap to just show how many new emails I have (currently says around 2000 and only want to know how many unread from the last couple of days) thanks

The mail app only displays the number of unread emails. There is not a way to have it only look at the last few days of emails and display the unread of that timeframe. The best thing to do is clean up your inbox or use a different app for managing your mail items. You could move all your unread items to another folder or mark them all as read as well.
