Hi bocca1908,

I understand that you are able to see all of your email messages on your laptop, but not on your iPhone. I know it's important to be kept up to date with new messages while on the go, so I'm happy to help.

Who do you use for your email provider? Do you know if they use POP or IMAP for their servers?

Often this behavior is associated with a POP mailbox, where the messages are downloaded to the specific devices and then removed from the server. You can read more about this here:

If you use the same POP email account on more than one device, email messages might appear only on the first device that gets them. This happens when an email app is set up to automatically remove messages from the server after it receives them.



If you find that you are simply not receiving new messages, this article may be of help:

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Cheers!
