HT201320 How do you limit number of emails in the inbox? After update, 2000 emails reappeared.

After updating to OS7, I now have a mailbox full of old emails, some that were deleted years ago. I used to be able to limit the mailbox size to 50 emails. Is that option still available? If so, where is it? Thanks

This is no longer an option.
Feel free to let Apple know about it by sending them feedback:  www.apple.com/feedback

  • Cannot see emails in the inbox, but can send emails out.  why?

    I bought the Galaxy S III about 3 months ago, and have been struggling to set up my personal email (my own domain hosted by godaddy.com).  my gmail accounts sync up nicely from day 1.
    Today, a tech rep from Godaddy.com suggested that i turn off wi-fi, and set up the account using the phone connection only.  That seemed to work, and i was able to set up personal email accounts (my own domain).
    Issues:  i cannot see any email in the Inbox. Every time i hit the button "load up to 50 more messages", the Update icon would spin for a few seconds, but no emails show up.  the message said "account last synced on date..., time....".  still no emails in the Inbox.
    a) i tried using the email software that came with the phone for the  (the icon has an envelope and a red seal in the middle).  the email was correctly set up, i was able to send emails out, but still no emails show up in my inbox.
    b) i tried using the K9 email app (downloaded from apps market, free).  the email was correctly set up, i was able to send emails out, but still no emails show up in my inbox.
    Does anyone know what i did wrong?  or is something wrong with my phone?
    thanks so much for your help

    good thinking.... I'm trying to set up Outlook 2010 on my desktop.  it's downloading emails from the server, but because i have so many emails up there (50K) for the past few years, it's not functioning properly yet.  i can see the emails and i can move them to different folders (10K emails in Inbox at a time, more get downloaded as i move emails out of the Inbox).  but i cannot send emails out from Outlook on the desktop. 
    wonder if these 2 issues are related.
    i can see, receive and send emails directly on the server (web) no problem. 
      I would try clearing out your inbox as much as possible, and then try it. Maybe it cannot index correctly to download because there are so many. Just a thought.

  • I can no longer click on a tab 'inbox' to return to the inbox after reading an email tab is not shown when I go to a mwssage

    The 'inbox' tab has suddenly disappeared from the top left of my screen. I can no longer return from a message to the inbox in one click. Can somebody help?
    Regards

    Thunderbird has had a tabbed interface since version three and still this forum gets people complaining they can not see the inbox tab because they never actually close a tab.
    So right click a tab and select close other tabs. Perhaps you might consider closing the tabs you open to read your mail when you are done with them and then you will not have the hassle.

  • HT4519 On an iphone 5c how do you set up a filter on the inbox, or block a certain sender's messages

    I would like to block messages to my email on my iphone from a certain sender.  Is there a way to filter out these messages through my settings?  It is fine if the messages go to my home computer but I don't want them accumulating on my phone.

    Thanks again.  For a variety of reasons we like to share this home email account.  We each have business accounts also.  Since I was able to add filters to my BlackBerry before, I thought I would be able to do that on the iphone also.  So that leaves the option of unsubscribing to the service she receives emails from, or deleting them from my phone every day.  I appreciate your help.

  • 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.

  • How do you limit the number of rows return from query?

    How do you limit the number of rows return from query? Do all databases support this kind of feature?

    i think the standard is limit
    to get the top 30
    select * from mytable LIMIT 30;returns the first 30 rows
    also if you want a range
    select * from mytable LIMIT 10,30;returns 30 rows starting from 10
    this last one is useful for displaying ranges... something similar happens in these forums when viewing topics and messages

  • How do you control number of cycles shown on chart

    How do you control number of cycles shown on chart?  I've selected a sweep chart and I'm not seeing the vertical bar on the chart when the program runs.  This is probably because I'm not seeing a full cycle of the periodic signal I'm trying to display.  I need to set the chart to display multiple cycles.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Right click the chart and set the desired number of points in the history buffer (right-click...chart history lenght...). Then set the x-axis not to autoscale and to cover your full history range.

    how do you reset your security questions when the rescue email address no longer exists?

    Didn't the link to contact the iTunes Store staff in the 'Additional Information' section of that article work for you? If you don't already have a valid rescue email address, only Apple itself can reset the questions.

  • How do you set up a customized (fonts, etc.) signature for your email on the iPhone?

    I have seen some emails from business associates tha instead of "sent from my iPhone" have a signature that includes different fonts, etc. that is attached to emails going out from their iPhone. I see where you can change the email signature via the Mail, Calendars, etc., but how can you customize it?

    Hi,
    It is much easier to manage this with an app.
    There are a few apps on the store that let you send email to groups, but most will only let you send email from their own app.
    if you want to create a contact that you can use like a group (which I think is what you are describing) then our "MailShot Pro" app is the first to do this, it creates special contacts that you can use from most apps on your device. You just address your email by tapping the blue + on the To or Bcc lines and select the MailShot contact.
    You can import contacts quickly from your address book with a checklist, import whole groups at once, and add contacts manually if you wish. It is also the only way to forward email to a group, or to send to a group from Siri.
    A detailed Support Page is available, with lots of tips and tricks for using it. Pease get in touch with us if you need any help or have any questions, we are always happy to help.

  • In the new mac app store how do you limit displayed applications only to os x applications.

    In the new mac app store how do you limit displayed applications only to os x applications. I do not have Iphone or ipad so all the phone junk is annoying and one cannot find the relevant software.

    The Mac App Store only has apps for Mac OS X. There are no iOS apps.
    The iOS apps for iPhones, iPods and iPads, are in the iTunes App Store.

  • HT5538 How do you separate multiple iOS devices using the same apple id account for Face Time calls and iMessaging?

    How do you separate multiiple ios devices using the same apple id account for Face Time calls and iMessaging?

    The only way I have seen is to have each device use a if fervent email account, if they all are on the same email the FaceTime connection is either to a phone number or to an email address.  If they ar all on the same email, it is up to the user to decide which to use.

  • Originally when I cliked on a new email in the inbox, it opened immediately. Now I have to double click on it to open. How do I get back to the single click?

    It now takes a double click to open an email. How do you get it to open on the first click?
