Q: Max message count in iOS 10 Mail

Hello everyone,

 

I just updated to iOS 10 on my iPhone 6. At the same time, I decided to consolidate some old email messages from the early 2000s on my MBP into my current gmail account by dragging them into the folder in the Mail app on El Capitan. The transfer went fine and they now show up in gmail.

 

Now that they're copied over, I've discovered that the old messages have displaced all my most recent messages in my inbox on my phone (it's viewing them as newer, I guess, since they were just added?), and I can't seem to find that setting that used to be in mail that let you determine how many messages to display (I always had it at "200"). I was hoping to set it to "no limit," if that even existed, so I could at least get back to seeing my most recent messages.

 

Alternatively, if anyone has a suggestion on how to trick my inbox into showing the newest chronological messages first again, I'd be interested in that as well.

 

Thanks everyone.

iPhone 6, iOS 10, Mail / Gmail
