Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
On my iPad all the sudden the Sent email before 3:22pm 12/6/21 until 3/17/18 (ie 3 years of Sent mail from the middle of the queue) disappeared. So the Sent mail after 3pm on 12/6/21 is there and all Sent email from 5pm 3/18/18 and earlier is there, but nothing between these dates. How can that happen and can I restore those emails without wiping out and restoring all information on my iPad.
iPad, iPadOS 14
First, assuming that you are using an IMAP mailbox, verify that the missing email is still saved on the email server. To do so, sign-in to your Mail providers webpage - and check that email is present.
If you have established that the email missing from your iPad is still available on the mail server, the simplest method of restoring all mail on your iPad is to delete the email account from your iPad, restart the iPad, then re-add the email account.
To remove the email account:
Settings > Mail > Accounts > [Your email account] > Delete Account
Restart your iPad:
After restarting your iPad, re-add the Mail account using the Add account wizard:
Settings > Mail > Add Account

You can check your email accounts to see if there are any items that can be recovered from the trash or other location to try to restore sent items.
