Activesync not letting me "load more messages"

I have an active sync account setup with my gmail account that's not showing more than about 20 or so emails in my inbox. I should be able to scroll down to the bottom of the list and click a line that says "load more messages" but that button does not appear. If I set the account inactive in settings and view the same email using IMAP I get the link and I can see more message over and over.
This is frustrating because I'd rather use active sync for push email like I do on my iPhone using this same account. Anyone else seen this? If it makes a difference, my gmail is actually my own domain email using google apps.

kensei, I looked at my sync settings and I was only setup for 3 days on mail, but after setting this to no limit, mail seemed to download and download and I could scroll and scroll through the emails.
It's a half fix. While I can now see more email messages, if I had let it go, it might well have downloaded several thousand messages. I stopped and set the sync to 1 month. This result differs from the iPhone in that on the iPhone, it shows me a certain number and at the bottom get the "Load More Messages". Here, I only get that if I use imap.
Finally, as far as the Exchange settings go, it's google gmail, so although they use active sync, I really doubt they are using an exchange server. Either way, this same account behaves differently than it does on my iPhone.

Imovie will not let me load a movie to You Tube error message say wrong user name and password when it is right

imovie will not let me load a movie to You Tube. The error message from imovie says it is the wrong password and user name. I rechecked it and it is right.

It can be tricky sometimes. Go to your youtube account in Safari and try logging in. They might have changed the security requirements. In addition, you might find this software easier to use for uploading video to youtube.

Yahoo mail will not, "Load More Messages" on iPhone 3gs

When I go into my Yahoo mail account using the iPhone's mail app, scroll down to the bottom of my list in my inbox, and press the, "Load More Messages" button it will not load more. It's really making me upset. Anyone else having this problem? I have more messages to load but it just refuses to load them. Please help!
Thanks alot.

Hey Alan thanks again for the advice but what you suggested did not help/work. On my Yahoo account there is still and option to load more messages, but when I push it, it sadly still fails to load anymore messages. Question? Do the messages have to be unread for them to load? This is really starting to bug me because I can't go back and look at my old emails.
Also with my hotmail account it still will not even give me the option to load more messages. It's really frustrating.
And a final note: I tried to add my yahoo account on my wife's iPhone and it behaved exactly the same way (meaning it would give me the option to load more messages but when I asked it to, none would load)
Sad face.

I am trying to pull up an old email that I received and placed in the trash. When I press "load more messages," no additional trash eMails pop up. What am I doing wrong?

You're not looking in your trash can. And if you've emptied your trash can, the message is gone.
To open your trash, you have inboxes on the top, and accounts below. Tap the mail from the accounts. That's where your trash can is. Tap it. If the mail is not permanently deleted it will be in the trash.

Inbox will only let me view 8-10 messages, no "Load more messages" option

I have an iPhone 3g, with my gmail account synced to the email. It downloads the email, but I can only view 8-10 most recent messages at a time. I chose to be able to view 200. The user guide says to load additional messages "scroll to the bottom of the list and tap load more messages" for the inbox when I scroll to the bottom of the list of 10 messages, there is no "load more messages" option. Just the little arrow to check for mail and the option to compose a new message. Also if I want to search for and old message, it always says "no message found continue search on server" and then says "no message found". All of my email goes to my "inbox".
help? Thanks!!!

I was having the same problem...I looked into a lot of obscure solutions, until I realized I was missing the obvious one.
I went to: settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars; clicked on the mail account I was struggling with (did realize there where more options available there); changed the "Mail Days to Sync".
I hope that helps.

Just upgraded to 9.4, safari will not let me keep more than 3 windows open, if i try to open 4th, one goes away

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

My mail inbox is showing Load More Messages - 5 messages total - 5 unread

My mail inbox is showing Load More Messages - 5 messages total - 5 unread. When I select Load More Messages it starts to do something then stops. I do not seem to be able to access these unread messages. Can anyone help me with this annoying problem?

This is my basic, first start, recommended "fix" when these types of weird, unexplained things occur on the iPad. Give it a try. After you reboot, go back to the mail app and see if the messages will load.
Quit the mail app completely and reboot the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Can't "Load More Messages" from Exchange Email

Hi All,
I have 2 email accounts (yahoo + exchange). In Yahoo when I get to the end of the inbox on the phone, I can click "Load More Messages". This does not show up on Exchange however. What gives?
I am using PUSH (although if the stuck email thing starts to annoy me, I will sometimes switch to fetch)

I'm gonna give this a bump too. I'm using iPod touch...and even though I already set my microsoft exchange mail to sync with no limit of days, I still cannot retrieve my mail that is older than 2 or 3 days. On top of that, I don't even get an option to load more messages. Can anyone help us?

Why has my mail started storing under Load More Messages. I'm now unable to access my mail messages.

Can't "Load More Messages" in email

All of a sudden, I can't download old messages under, "Load More Messages". Everything visible is only a couple weeks old.

I have two yahoo accounts and I know as they 'improved' their servers I had periodic outages. It'd work fine on my webmail on my computer, webmail on the iPad, but not via the mail app. And it was stuff on their end. It may be a case of wait and see and you may need to eventually remove/readd the account on your iPhone.
When the issue is on their end, unfortunately there's not much for users to do beyond wait it out or find work arounds.

Load More Messages (X+1 messages total, 0 unread)

I have been having an unusal problem that may be hard to describe. When I enter the Mail App on any of my iOS devices, iPad or iPhone, there is a phantom read email appearing in of my Gmail accounts. When I log on to Gmail through a desktop browser there is no additioal read email I can find, none are hiding in the tabs or labels. Furthermore, if I were to log into an Android device (I had an old one laying around), there is no "Load More Messages" or additional message appearing when viewed from that device under the same account.
Furthermore, when I click on the "Load More Messages Button" nothing happens, or occasionally it will try and load something but then go back to being a link.
Any ideas on how to get rid of it? I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the Gmail account countless times under the Gmail installation, under Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars/Add Account/Gmail. I have also tried soft resets and hard resets (with and without reverting to a back up) and each time the problem keeps arising!
This isn't the end of the world, I still can send and recieve emails, it is just annoying the **** out of me trying to get rid of it.

This is still occuring. Everything I seem to do doesn't fix it. It only happens in iOS Mail. When looking at the Gmail account through the desktop client and showing the label "All Mail" there is not additional mail that I have seen before.
Any and all suggestions would be much appreciated.

E-mail won't load... just 'Load More Messages...'

My iPad 4 recently stopped updating it's e-mail whenever I run the e-mail app. The app starts up fine, but then acts like it's updating the mail, but then doesn't and only adds a "Load More Messages..." option.
I've tried removing the account, load it again, in addition to restarting the device loads of times, but for naught.
I just removed the e-mail account, restarted the device, added the e-mail account (double-checking the settings) and now the e-mail will only display the 'Load More Messages...' option. When I click on this it spends a few minutes thinking then does nothing.
Is there a bug floating around out there or a recent glitch?
Thanks,
Nominrath

Here was the problem I solved myself: My hosting service, Hostmonster, has a "convenient" application using a script that allegedly will set up your client Mail on a Mac for some standard email services, including iCloud. As long as the script was implemented, it was preventing my mailbox from connecting, not enabling it. The only way I know of to stop the Hostmonster script is to delete the account, and then manually reinstall it. That solved the problem.

Gmail IMAP keeps showing "Load more messages"

I would say about every 99% of the time I check my email it says "load more messages" and I have to press refresh button to see them. Pressing the load more messages button does not load them. I do not know what I need to fix to get my mail to load correctly. I used the add gmail account button when I created this account. Please can anyone help me?

This is still an open issue for me as well. I have tried restarting the phone, deleting and re-adding Gmail IMAP account, and I also did a full phone restore with no luck.
Seems to be a 3.1 thing.
