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.

Showing "Load More Messages", won't download.

On my iPod Touch, my email account is showing "Load More Messages", won't download any of these old messages. How do I get these downloaded?
It's related to my email provider somehow re-sending approx 1000 old messages. My desktop program downloaded them okay, but the iPod Touch won't download a single one of them.

Resolved, sort of. I went on my webmail server, created a new folder called Archive and put all the messages from the inbox in there. Since they are no longer in my inbox, my iPod Touch is not longer trying to download them.

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.

Load more messages on email

Hi, on one particular mailbox it shows load more messages 16 messages total 2 unread, however, everytime I try to load more messages nothing happens.
Any ideas or help appreciated.

Try closing the mail app completely and then launch it again and see if the messages will load.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the mail icon. Tap the home button twice.
If they still won't load, close the mail app again and restart your iPad.

TS3899 Load more messages not appearing at bottom of inbox iPad set to view 500 messages but only 50 are showing

Load more messages has stop appearing at bottom of in box. I can only view 50 plus messages . Email account is set to view 500.

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.

My mail is configured correctly. When I go to view my inbox I get the 'Load More Messages...' with the number of messages showing. I touch the display and nothing happens. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the email account and restarted the device. I can send mail fine as well as view my sent messages. Very confusing.

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.

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.

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.

Issue with load more messages feature

Hi, I'm new to the Iphone 3Gs and I have notice a strange behavior the the "load more messages" feature.
I've setup my mail account with Gmail and everythings works fine. My mail setting is set to show the 25 more recent messages.
When I go to my inbox and press "load more messages", it loads 25 more messages so thats makes it 50. I've notice that my inbox will now show 50 messages until a power off/on cycle, than it shows the 25 more recent messages again as stated in the mail settings.
Here's my problem. The imap folder "All Mail" from Gmail does not work like this. Everytime I hit "load more messages" in that folder it loads more messages but never reset to 25 after power off. Now that folder shows over 100 messages.
Is there a way to reapply the show settings to that folder ? Only thing that works that I found is to delete the account.
thanks for your help.

Hey man, your problem sounds similar to the one I'm having. I can't load more messages on both of my email accounts. But I think I might have figured out the problem. I recently re-installed my hotmail account and when I was looking through my,"Unread" inbox the, "Load more messages" command was working just fine. So I was continuing to go through my messages to make them read (because if your like me, I don't like to have any messages, "Unread." So when all my messages were read there was about 80 in total, and my setting was set to show the 25 most recent. So I backed out of the mail app, did a few more things and came back hoping that there would only be 25 showing with 0 unread and the ability to load more if i wished. Well, there was 25 showing but the box with the load more messages command was gone and no matter how many times I tried to refresh it would not come back.
So my theory is this; there always has to be an unread message in your inbox for the load more messages to work. Sorry about the long post. I'm going to test this theory out, knowing my luck, it won't work at all. Good luck bro!
Peace.

"Load More Messages"

I have an iPod Touch (software version 3) and I have set up a mail account on it.
I only have 2 read emails sent to it for testing, however, when I go to the inbox it says "Load More Messages... 2 messages total, 0 unread". When I click on that it does nothing!
I have "show 200 recent messages" in Settings but it's the same for 25, 50, 75, 100
I can't access those emails.
Please help

How many messages are actually left residing on the mail server?
If your mail account is set-up for POP3 and you've already downloaded them to your computer, then the iPod may only have access to new messages on the server.
Set your email account up as IMAP so all mail is left on the server, then you'll get all messages downloaded no matter where you access them from.

PHOTO STREAM KEEPS SHOWING LOADING

Hi Everyone..
I have removed most of the pics from camera roll on iPhone and iPad, and made separate photo streams of my pictures, more like albums. For e.g. each trip photos is a photo stream. This way I reduced the space usage on iPhone and iPad. However, whenever I want to access these photo streams and open them on my iOS devices, it keeps showing loading...Do I always need net access to view these ? It just takes a lot of time to view them on my devices...
Some one please advise

Hello Ashishoswal,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For Photo Stream to download the photos, an active internet connection is required.
iCloud also requires an active Internet connection via Wi-Fi or cellular data, and some features work only with a Wi-Fi connection.

Where is the "Load more messages..." button in Mail?

My Mail icon has a badge showing unread messages since I did a "Continue search on server" but the usual button at the bottom of any inbox saying "Load more messages" is missing. As a result I am unable to view my old unread messages. I have restarted the Mail app as well as the iPhone, with no change.

I'm trying to change the number of stored emails on both my iPad and iPhone. I used to do this as you suggested but since the latest os7 update the 'Show' option has disappeared. Any ideas what I can do?

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?

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.
