Old emails

Please can you help I cannot retrieve old emails I have not deleted them and tried the search. This has just happened in the past couple of days. Help is needed as I require a confirmation email very soon.

Hey there shel6619,


We'd like to help by learning more about what's happening, along with ruling out some possible causes:


  1. You mentioned this began two days ago, but do you recall the last thing you were doing on your iPhone right before it started?
  2. If you go to the email provider website instead of using the Mail app on our iPad, are you seeing the older emails on there?
  3. Has this only affected older emails from one account specifically, or have you noticed this occurring with all older emails from several email accounts on your iPad?
  4. Sometimes unexpected behavior can be resolved with a restart: Restart your iPad
  5. If you have a compatible iPad model, the latest version is iPadOS 16.3.1. You can verify this within Settings > General > About. In case you needed it, this link shows how to first back up, then Update your iPhone or iPad.


Cheers!
