When I use my iphone X to search for an old email, it is very limited and does not allow me to go back very far.
How can I increase the number of emails to look at it in the inbox, and also how can I search back further?
iPhone X, iOS 14
Go to Settings/Mail/Accounts. Tap on an account. If the account hosting company offers the option you can change Mail Days to Sync. If there is no such setting it should sync all mail that is on the server.
What provider do you use? Looks like not every provider allows to change that setting. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/252021096
icloud syncs unlimited emails. I have about 25,000 on my phone currently.
I don’t know about the others, but if there is no setting for days to sync then all of your email should be on your phone. I just tried searching for the oldest email on my phone from 2015 in my iCloud account, and the mail search found it. I did the same search using spotlight search from the Home screen and that also found it.

There is no such option. So issue not solved yet. Thank you
Is your email provider vodafone, or is that your network provider? What is the last part of your email address (after the”@“, for example for xyzzy@gmail.com your email provider would be gmail.com).
@hotmail
@icloud
