How do I get my inbox to show more emails. It seems to only show 25 or so and it only shows emails that are no older than a week or so?

iPad, iOS 5.1.1

Ok found it.

The issue was :

Settings: mail, contacts, calendars:Accounts:"my account";Mail days to sync. It was set to 5 so it only showed the last 5 days. I set it to No limit. Then I closed out of mail and restarted it.

Thanks to everyone for the help.

Open the Settings app > Mail, contacts,Calendars. Under the Mail section, tap Show, then set for the number of recent emails you want displayed.

Are you sure that these emails are actually on your email server?

If you scroll down to the bottom of your Inbox do you not have a Load More Messages button ?

Yes because on my desktop I can see all of the emails but on my ipad I only see the most recent and/or upto the 25 email limit?

Maybe it is something with the server itself. I will ask the adm about it also.

Weirdest thing, the "show" setting isn't listed on my phone! I'm pretty sure it used to be.
