Keep emails longer

I go to settings- then mail- click on the account email I want- then there should be something that lets me keep my emails longer but there isn’t, no way to change the days. My emails are disappearing after a week or so

iPad, iPadOS 14

For iPadOS 14: Decide how long to keep deleted emails


You can set how long deleted emails stay in the Trash mailbox.

  1. Go to Settings  > Mail, then tap Accounts.
  2. Tap your email account, tap Mail (below Advanced), then tap Advanced.
  3. In the Advanced settings, tap Remove, then select a time interval.

Note: Some email services might override your selection;

for example, iCloud doesn’t keep deleted emails longer than 30 days, even if you select Never.
