I have set my iphone mail settings to show 500 recent messages, but it only shows 10 messages - how do i get past this problem?
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1
That's going to be Exhange, now that you mention hotmail account.
Go to settings>mail contacts calendars > tap hotmail account,for mail days to sync set to no limit. Now check your mail
What Kind of email account is it.
If the account is Gmail or Yahoo, those are IMAP accounts which all messages can be retrieved from the server over and over again if you remove the account and re-add it.
Now if you are using like a SBC-Global, ATT.net, Bellsouth, Anything that is a POP3 Account it will only download new message and not past ones.
You get of the mail app, then double tap the home button and close out the mail app, and then open it up again and see if that works.
If that doesn't work you can try a reset you won't lose any data, hold down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for you phone to boot back up. then check your mail.
Thankyouuuuuu 😀 , you're a star!!! xxx
Thankyou very much, however I have already tried all of these options as well as a restore of my iPhone earlier today.
I have tried that as well.. 😟
Hmmm, ok I would try deleting the account and then adding it back in again.
I have a hotmail account, which category would this fall into?
iPhone Mail App not showing all messages
