How do I limit the number of emails displayed in iOS 7?

Same here. But in my case I just discovered that my work IMAP email account only shows the inbox messages until 299 messages are reached. After that, it shows no new emails. And now we don't have the option to limit (or in my case, increase the limit as I was using under iOS 6) of messages shown.

This isn't working for me, since I travel a lot and cannot clean my inbox on the go. And POP is not an option - don't want to see emails as unread even after I read them on another device - and yes, POP shows all emails in my inbox.

Already posted this issue at http://www.apple.com/feedback/

This solved my problem, thanks

I hope Apple heeds the cries of their faithful about the user ability to limit the number of emails on the iPhones running iOS7. They built their reputation on anticipating and solving customers problems before customers knew they had problems. Having failed to anticipate, perhaps they can now react. The email flood seems to be accelerating my battery power run-down, and I'm so frustrated.

We all have the same problem, Apple knows it and there is no help in the horizon; having said that, watch your data increasing with your local cell phone carrier.

just a thought.....

I Agree... As said before I use an android for now but I am lookin forward to swirly hint back to an iphone. Just to make another comment on the IMAP mail issue, although not directly related to this thread's topic, I lost the ability to push emails to my IMAP account, I can only have the fetch option now, and the faster it can go is every 15 minutes, which is not to often for me... Is there a fix for that?

Data usage is the same as before.

Just delete your IMAP login and re-sign in.

Dear Apple iOS7.x developers: Can you please listen to all these iOS users and return this great feature? Thanks.

Due to this BIG "issue" I'm lossing 2.0 gb ( email data usage ) of my 13.3 gb iphone 5 capacity !!! I should be able to administrate the capacity of the phone as I want !!! Apple must return this feature !!! Activating the limit the incoming emails to 50 my emails date will not exceed 400 mb !!! Thanks apple for my uneed emails and my capacity lost !!!!!

It is highly unlikely you are losing 2.0GB space due to headers.

Unless you're clicking in every message to actually download the body, or you're spam central administrator.

Try to check your before and after usage logs.

In the likely event you don't have a before record, do a simple comparison with your desktop mailbox, at the same message count.

You'll find yourself complaining that iOS 7 doesn't download all your messages.

I was excited to see a 7.0.3 update waiting to be installed this morning, thinking Apple would take the opportunity to restore this important feature. But no, it's still gone. Apple, please restore the capability you took away.

seriously whoever made the decision to take this function off clearly has no idea how a lot of apple users are very, very OCD!

I can't stand seeing 658 unread email on my tab, and the fact that endless scrolling of my inbox is giving me an anxiety attack.

Having the same problem.

All Apple employees contacted (Shop, Support, Store, Press Relations,...) just tell, that they do not know about the issue, that Apple is not interested in this issue, otherwise they would already have solved it.

Apple can't do anything about it, as there is no internal complaint department!
