How do I limit the amount of emails in my inbox

We have a mail server at our business, I receive my mail on my PC, laptop,iPad and iPhone. The iPhone and iPad fetch my mail and as soon as I read my mail on my iPhone or iPad it loads old mail from the server. This did not happen before our last update from Apple.
This means I pay at least 3 time to download my mail.
Is it possible to limit the amount of mail and only receive the heading and download the rest should you need to?

This is no longer an option.

    OS 6 allowed the limitation of emails in the inbox to 50. How does one do this with OS 7?

    Protech,
    These phones aren't magic... you only have a finite amount of storage, so you should have considered the size of your mailbox before purchasing the lower capacity iPhone. Can't get mad at Apple or the design for that...
    Note, it is a bad practice to run a business from the iPhone, so why do you have a pressing need to search for information in old emails?
    You're treating it like a database and it's not designed for that. Email is for communication and information transmission.
    For context, would you keep every single paper letter and sticky note you've used/received for your business?
    And then search through those files all the time when you needed information about a client or part design?
    That is what you're doing in a virtual sense...
    Time for you to look into databases (contacts, notes, Filemaker, etc.) are ways to store and retrieve information without taking up tons of space (like email)
    Who is your email provider?
    Have you considered using their version of the mail app if they have one? (works like webmail but through their app instead)
    You should also consider the databases/archives below and moving the emails/content/information into it.

  • How can I limit the number of emails retained on my ipad air?

    How can I limit the number of emails that are retained on my iPad Air?  Because of legal requirements of a long-term project, I cannot permanently delete emails relating to that project from my ISP's mail server.  My gmail account contains over 17,000 emails and, upon setting up my new iPad, and updating to ios 7.1.1, I now have all 17,000+ emails taking up space.  I would like to limit the emails by count as I was able to do on my old iPad running ios 5.1.1 OR to retain them based on date range.  I have not found any instructions on the support discussions or general iPad blogs that allow me to do that.  Any way around this problem?
    I also miss the 5.1.1 mail search feature that allowed me to narrow the search by from/to/subject/all.  Does anyone know if that feature is available using some little-known ios 7.1.1 feature?
    Thanks for your help.

    If you have a decent mail provider like Microsoft Hotmail or Outlook.com mail it does.
    If you have Gmail it does not.  Quite right. Gmail is rubbish.

  • Hi, how can I limit the number of emails I can see on my iPhone 5. Every time in delete one and older email gets added from my live.co.uk account (where I want to keep my 2500 emails) I just don't want many on my phone. Thanks

    You can't. Why on earth would you attempt to manage 2500 emails with setting up a folder structure or some means of doing so? Simply keeping them in an single inbox is not realistic, no matter what email client you use.

  • How do i limit the number of emails displayed in ios 8

    I want to limit the amount of emails that are downloaded to my mail app. I can only find instruction for doing this in ios7. I am using ios8. I don't have a “Mail Days to Sync” option.
    Any ideas?

    You may want to post in the correct forum, this one (AppleWorks) is for a rather old piece of Apple software for a Mac.
    Post in the iPhone forum.

    You need to delete your current hotmail account set up on your iphone.
    Once this has done click 'Add Account' and select the new 'outlook.com' tab.
    Set up your hotmail account again from scratch and this will then allow you to select how many weeks/months of emails you sync to your phone.
    Im not sure if anyone else had a similar problem to me prior to iOS 7, but if i deleted an email from my hotmail account on my iphone - it wouldnt sync with my actual hotmail account. So when i logged in online all the emails I had deleted on my phone would still be showing as unread.
    But by setting the account up as above, they now sync perfectly.
    Well for me anyway

    Hi,
    Unfortunately, this is a feature that Apple have taken away.

  • How do you limit the number of emails that download in ios7?

    How do you limit the number of emails that download in iOS7? In previous versions, I was able to limit (i.e. 50/100/ etc), the number that would download to my phone at any given time - other than new emails. Past/old emails would only be reloaded if I deleted newer ones or I requested more be loaded.

    Now solved:

    Guy in my thread fixed it for me. Very simple to do.

    How do I limit the amount of space used by photos on my phone - now that I turned iCloud on it is taking over my phone

    Hello Maahk,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you would like to optimize your Photos storage. If you are using iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone, please read over the information in the attached article. 
    iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support
    Can I use iCloud Photo Library to save space on my device?
    iCloud Photo Library automatically keeps all your photos and videos in the original, high-resolution version. Follow these steps to choose how you store your photos and videos on your device:
    In iOS, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings > Photos & Camera, then select a storage setting.
    In OS X, click Photos > Preferences > iCloud, then select a storage setting. 
    If you turn on Optimize [device] Storage, iCloud Photo Library will automatically manage the size of your library on your device, so you can make the most of your device's storage and access more photos than ever. All of your original, full-resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud while device-size versions are kept on your device. You can download the original photos and videos over Wi-Fi or cellular when you need them. 
    If you turn on Download Originals, iCloud Photo Library will keep your original, full-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and on your device. Download Originals is the default setting for iOS devices with the free 5 GB storage plan and for all Mac devices.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • How do I increase the number of emails in my inbox it is only showing 5.  I have a 5c.

    How do I increase the number of emails in my inbox. It only shows 5. 

    That issue can be caused by the FastestFox extension.
    * FastestFox Options > General, uncheck "Enhance Awesomebar"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • How do I change the number of emails in my inbox with ios 7

    I upgraded to ios7 and now I have soooo many emails loaded. I feel like that may be part of the cause of my battery drain.  Do I seriously have to delete all these emails or is there a way to limit the number of emails in my inbox?  All I have to say is "thank goodness I didn't connect to my work email, we would be talking thousands of emails".

    This is no longer an option.

  • How can I limit the amount of space on a Time Capsule used by Time Machine?

    I know that you cannot partition a Time Capsule drive.  However, I was wondering about other options for limiting the amount of space used by Time Machine so that I can use the rest of the space for other purposes.
    I heard something about creating a disk image on the Time Capsule to limit the amount of space used by Time Machine.  If I create a disk image, would TM just use all the space that's not part of the disk image?  How do I access the disk image part?  Can I manually drag and drop files to it from my Mac like any other external drive?  Could I set up the disk image part to work with a Windows computer?
    I've also heard things about modifying sparsebundles which I don't know anything about.  How does this work?  What happens to the space that is not part of the TM sparsebundle?  How do I access it?  Can I manually drag and drop files to it from my Mac like any other external drive?  Could I set up the extra space to work with a Windows computer?

    Some other things to make note of:
    Some disk image formats have a maximum size and only use that size after they have had to expand to actually hold that much data. Make sure you are not using this type of image so you can guarantee the space is reserved. Sparse bundles are like this. I haven't read up on the sparse bundle trick, but I assume it's something to do with setting a maximum size for it.
    When you open up the Time Capsule disk, you will first be looking at the normal storage space. When you create an image, there will be a file you click on that mounts another drive that uses space on the Time Capsule. This shows up as just one file unless you open it to see it's contents.
