Hello Rhlrna,


Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're having trouble with the Mail app it's not showing all your emails. We're happy to help. Is this only happening with one email account, your Office 365 Exchange email? Do you get the same results if you use your email providers mobile app?


Check out the following support article to verify your email settings:

Cheers!

Hello Rhlrna,


Thanks for the additional information and we're glad to hear that you can retrieve your emails using the mobile apps. Are these work emails or personal emails? Did you configure and set up your email manually? The more details we have the better we can help.


Take a look at the articles below:

Take care!

I am getting the same behavior with a Gmail account. The search results in Apple's Mail App are incomplete. Only a seemingly random subset of messages that contain the search string are returned in the results. Many messages that contain the search string are not found. Deleting the account and re-adding it does not fix the problem.
