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.

  • 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.

  • Recently migrated from mobileme to iCloud and my mail inbox always shows 3. Any idea how to fix?

    I recently upgraded to Lion and migrated my mobileme account to iCloud and my mail inbox always shows 3 new emails that don't appear as new anywhere. I found a previous article from a couple of years ago but it was no help. Any ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try turning mail syncing off and on again in system preferences > iCloud.

  • 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.

  • Gmail account IMAPed with Apple Mail. Apple Mail Inbox now empty! Where would the messages go?!?

    I just synced up (IMAP) my Gmail account with Apple Mail. My apple mail inbox is now empty! Where would the messages go?!?

    There is a better forum for issues with iCloud.
    Apple has a couple tech note articles to help with email, and with gmail as well.
    Try there.
    This is just WORKSTATION forum.

    Greetings venom56994,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with Mail in Yosemite. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
    Mail (Yosemite): If you can’t receive messages
    If you can’t receive messages in Mail
    If you’re certain you’re not receiving messages, even after clicking the Get Mail button  in the Mail toolbar, try these suggestions. 
    Check whether Mail is retrieving a large message or a message with large attachments. For more information, see View Mail activity. 
    Try sorting messages in the message list by Date or another attribute, or searching for messages, to verify if you received them. 
    Check whether your account is offline or disabled (inactive). 
    Try quitting Mail, then opening it again.
    Choose Window > Connection Doctor, then follow any instructions in the Details column. Check for problems logging in to email accounts or with the incoming mail server, or with firewall software blocking network traffic. 
    Check whether you’re affected by another firewall, such as software installed separately from OS X or built into an Internet sharing router, or administered by your account provider. Contact the appropriate person for information. 
    If you’re logged in to a network using VPN, make sure that you entered your VPN password correctly.
    Contact your email account provider to verify your user name, password, incoming mail server, and other required information; then verify the information is entered correctly in Mail account preferences. 
    You can’t log in directly to any service that doesn’t support POP, IMAP, or Exchange Web Services, and get messages using Mail.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • My mail inbox only shows about 10 days of mail. Need to search back a few months. How do I do that?

    I am wanting to search for old mail from my inbox. Right now it only shows abut 2 weeks of recent mail.When I do a "mail search", I cant find what I am looking for. How do I have my inbox mail automatically show more that 2 weeks of the latest mail. I would like it to show a month or more.

    There are a couple of things that could be deleting mail messages.
    In Mac's Mail app click on the Mail > Preferences menu item. Now select your offending mail account from the Accounts list.  Now click on Advanced.  There is a setting to "remove copy from server after retrieving message."  The Mail app will delete messages from your email service based on this setting.  This will not delete messages from your computer.
    If you are losing messages from your computer then click on  Rules in Mail's Preferences, then check each "rule" to see if there is one that could be deleting messages. Click on the rule and then  on Edit to see the rules criteria
    Example of a rule that would delete messages:
    If neither of these is your problem I suggest you check with Yahoo to see if there is a setting  on their service that could be deleting messages.

  • Why is my mail inbox only showing the first ten emails when I have it set to show the first 200?

    I have my email setting set to show me 200 messages in my inbox, but can only see the first ten emails. Anyone know what might be happening?

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if they show when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Apple mail inbox not showing all new gmail

    When checking gmail through apple mail some mail is showing in archive, some in important, some in other folders, but NOT in the actual inbox itself.
    Running Yosemite and all up to date.

  • Mail- inboxes not showing in one account

    I use Apple's Mail program at work. On the iPhone, when I get mail for that account, all the messages are there, but there are no other folders besides the In Box. This doesn't happen with the other three email account I have. I have checked the settings, they match closely to the other accounts.
    I'd just like to be able to sort my messages into their respective folders.
    Any help is appreciated.

    If the mail account on the iPhone was set up as POP, then you will not see the folders. IMAP accounts are the ones that have folders.
    You may need to delete and re-add the account as an IMAP.

  • 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 issues

    I saw some posts about load more messages issues, but nothing seems to be the same as my problem. I'm new to iPhone, so I must be missing something obvious.
    I was looking at my emails this morning and deleted all but 5. I responded to an email, but didn’t send because I forget change the server port for outgoing mail that our server requires. So I went into settings and changed the port. I went back to my inbox but can no longer see the messages I saved, instead there's an option that says “Load More Messages” with a note below it stating “5 messages total, 0 unread”. I have no other emails in my inbox. When I click Load More Messages, nothing happens. I can’t figure out how to get to those emails. I tried cycling the power on the iphone, that didn’t help.
    I'm getting new messages normally. My mail is set to show 25 recent messages. Even if I change this, it still displays the "Load More Messages". As an extreme test, I set it to show 200 recent messages, went back to my inbox, hit the "Load More Messages" option, but that didn't help. What's more, I have a full signal and I'm running 3G.

  • "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.

  • 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.
