If you are using secondary authentication account in which three answers for security questions , date of birth , rescue mail address and its password is added , and iCloud Keychain is set up in Mac , make sure you must have iCloud Keychain verification code in records as it will be required once you add gmail or whatever services used and iCloud account .

( a ) Open system preferences > iCloud > the box for keychain is checked , click on options , click on change security code .

( b ) Click on security code > enter new code in the fields and click on next , you have to enter the new code for the second time and click on next .

In the next window the country code is written , enter your trusted mobile number …….and click on done .

Again enter your Apple ID password to update your account settings and click on ok , hence the code is changed , so write down this code in a safe place .

Note : once the code is generated then remove mail accounts and once again add it , make sure must have correct credentials like Apple ID password , web mail address and its password in your records .

I called apple support and they mostly resolved the issue. Not something I could have fixed on my own, they had to restore the emails that disappeared somehow. It didn’t completely fix it, for some reason a chunk didn’t re appear in my inbox, however when I search for those emails they show up so it’s fine. Call support 👍🏻

Might you have a grouping option in mail activated which combines mail threads and only shows the latest entry ? Or a filter which only shows unread or something? It sounds silly but I had an issue like this a while back and learned the thread grouping was really confusing to find mails back. If you do a search on some words on the mails you are missing, do they also not show up in the mail search result?

This happened to me too. I have 4 email accounts running in Apple Mail and 2 of them now show empty inboxes. I can make all of them reappear by putting '@' in the search box - but it's not an ideal solution.

Same issue this week on both my Macbook Pro and iPhone 14 Pro. After speaking with Apple support realized that the incomplete/limited email inbox issue actually originates in the MAIL HOST/SERVER, not with Apple device. When I logged in natively to both my Yahoo and Gmail email accounts I see that they, too, are showing limited emails in the inbox. Gonna contact Yahoo and Google now.

Don't use third party apps for mails , any softwares , vpn services in Mac .

Create a new admin account in users and groups , then add mail accounts .

Hey I found out it was because I’m out of storage, I know for a fact there is a lot of emails I was supposed to receive during the time it was out. How can I access them? I got a new phone during the time it was full. I can’t access any of my mail, old or new. What do I do? I really need those emails for a lot of things right now.
