Missing Emails in iOS Mail App? Don’t Panic!
There’s a known issue with the iOS Mail app that can make it seem like emails are missing from your Inbox. Here’s what’s happening and how to fix it:
The Problem:
- Mail app shows “most recently moved” emails instead of “newest” emails.
- This can happen if you move a large number of older emails into your Inbox at once.
- The app might only show those emails and any new ones that arrived later.
Relax, Your Emails Are Still There:
- You can see them by logging in to your webmail or using another email app.
- The issue is with the Mail app’s fetching process, not your emails themselves.
How to Fix:
-
Update to the latest iOS version:
-
Force the app to load more mail:
- Keep scrolling down in your Inbox (tedious but effective).
- Older versions of iOS Mail might have a “Load More Messages” button at the bottom.
-
Set “Mail Days to Sync” to “No Limit” (if available):
- This option helps the app fetch more emails at once (works for some email systems).
- You’ll find it in Settings > Mail > Accounts (your account).
