I Cannot download emails on my iPad air2. I have deleted and reloaded my email account to no avail. I have held the home screen button along with the off button to reboot and that has made no difference either. My message columns are all blank and it just says last updated on saturday! My iPhone is working okay any ideas please?
iPad Air, iOS 8.2, Ipad air2
many email providers don't sync all messages ever received to save storage
in their email settings under advanced you can set how far back it sync mails
my emails are all blank it shows no messages in any files. When you go to inbox it says checking for emails then says last updated Saturday which is two days ago
Can you send mail messages?
If you send an email messages to yourself do you receive it?
What type of account? POP3 or IMAP/Exchange?
If POP3 if the message is no longer on the server you can't download it.
It is all depending on what email method you use: POP, or iMAP.
I suppose Pop, because that would not download any email, when they are already marked as read or are deleted on the Mail Server: in that case you go to the Mail Account in the brwoser, login, mark all that you want to download (from what there still is) as unread, logout start Mail and see what happens.
If it is iMap they should synchronize, this is different, but sync can only when they are still on the server.

HHi
i have tried to send to myself message sent but not arrived in inbox. I have no idea about the type of account I have sorry Other than it is yahoo I have logged on to it externally and there is no problem, even changed my password this morning as the problem has been for all weekend. Have tried to update password on the email setting and although it verifies it as correct when you click back to check it reverts to old password as they are different lengths so it is easy to see
Unless you have a paid Yahoo account it is POP3. Are yo setting it up as a POP3 account?
Can you access that account via Yahoo's website?
Can you access the account using Yahoo's app?

Using a Yahoo account on the Mail apps on an iOS device is troublesome.
Illaass is right: you better do not set the Yahoo account in your Mail app, but download the Yahoo Mail app (appstore).
