Only 200 emails in Mail?? How can I keep more?

I get on average, about 25 emails per day. I want all my emails to be saved on my iPad, unless I throw them out permanently (like in Mail on my MacBook Pro).
I noticed the iPad will only let you save (up to) the 200 most recent emails. Is there any way to increase this cap...? How useless would Mail be if I can't even see an email from two weeks ago??
If there really is no way to increase the 200 cap, are there any work-arounds, or other apps I can download that will let me do this?
I saw another thread about this problem, but the answer was unclear... nor did I see the "days to sync mail" preference they were talking about.
Thanks in advance.

The setting is "Show the 200 Recent Messages" and this is the limit for the number of recent messages shown in a mailbox.
There is no 3rd party app that will increase the show recent messages option and there won't be. This must come from Apple and Apple only.
At the bottom of a mailbox with more than 200 messages available, there is a load more messages option.
In addition, there is a search option for email in a selected mailbox to search From, To, Subject, or All. If not available in the show recent messages selection, the search will continue on the server for the email account as long as the server for the email account supports this. This should be supported with an IMAP account but may not be supported with a POP account.

    1. Update to the latest version of iOS.
    2. Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you're using on your iPhone.
    3. On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
        - Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
        - Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    4. Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.

        - Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
        - Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    2. Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
    3. When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and Settings > FaceTime.
    4. Sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    Hi there
    You would need to purchase a seat for each user.
    What you currently have is 1 seat = 1 user.

  • Mail: How can I keep the thread twirled down?

    I like Mail's conversations feature, but I keep losing visual track of sub-emails. How can I keep the conversation thread twirled-down so I can see all the entries in a conversation? Is there a pref to keep them all listed? (not hidden by a "4>" button).

    Sorry, Firefox doesn't do email, it's a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

  • When looking at my iCloud photo stream on iPad using iOS 8.1.2, there is no option to save them...only copy, email etc. How can I save them?

    how to save photos from iCloud on ipad

    DId you tap on the More Button all the way to the right of the activities window and see if it shows up in there? I don't honk it will given the information that you have provided, but it won't hurt to look.
    I Can think of no reason why it would not be appearing so try the basics, close the Photos app completely and then reset your iPad. No data is lost when you reset the iPad like this. Look again after you do this.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Photos app, then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset 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.

  • My iphone says that i have 7GB of photos, but i only have 172 photos, ***? how can i keep my 7GB without restoring my phone?

    i need help, i dont understand why it says that i have 7GB when i actually only have 172 photos.

    File corruption happens ... perhaps from apps, etc.
    Why wouldn't you simply restore your iPhone?
    If you elect to do that, you would use iTunes (current version 11.0.1), plug your iPhone in, sync it, and choose "Restore" from the iPhone's summary panel on the right.
    A restore like this may or may not solve the issue (it likely would).  If it doesn't, you would restore as new (instead of restoring from the backup) and then manually sync the iPhone.

  • Why does my 4GB mini only hold 210 songs? How can it hold more?Compression?

    My 4 GB ipod mini is now only holding 215 songs and it is supposed to be able to hold around 1,000. I have my importing setting set to MP3, 128 bp which I think is supposed to be the best if I want to increase the number of songs....but its not working. Any way to change this? Should I compress using something else?
    Thank you for any info!

    It's probably because you have the import settings and bitrate set wrong. Look in iTunes under edit/preferences/importing. What does it say in settings and import using? You need to compress your music using either mp3 or aac. If you see AIFF, WAV or Apple Lossless then those formats are going to take way more space than mp3 or aac, especially the first 2 which are raw uncompressed formats. Bear in mind that Apple quotes the number of songs you are able to store on any iPod by using aac at 128kbps for a 4 minute song.
    

See this article.
    

About import settings and hard disk space.
    Do not use Apple lossless either. This will typically produce a file size much larger than mp3 or aac.
    And don't let anyone tell you what to use. Try both mp3 and aac, and you decide what's best. After all, they're your ears!

  • I bought my 20" iMac in Nov of 2007 and when I try to purchase the upgrade for lion I'm told I need 2GB of memory and I only have 1GB.  How can I get more?  I am currently running snow leopard

    Trying to upgrade to Lion on my 20" iMac that I bought in Nov. 2007.  Currently I'm running on MAC OS X version 10.6.8.  When I tried to buy the upgrade I got a response that Lion requires 2 GB of memory and I only have 1 GB.  How can I get more memory and will my computer be compatible with Lion when I do get more memory?

    Yes you can install more RAM. Up to 6 GBs. Two - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMMs. For the maximum use one 4 GB and one 2 GB. Otherwise install a pair of 2 GB modules for a total of 4 GBs.
    You can purchase suitable RAM at DataMem or OWC. OWC also has video tutorials on installation.

  • How can I make more room on my ipod to put more songs on it

    My ipod is running out of room to put more songs on it and I have a 4GB ipod and I only have 488 songs. How can I make more room on my ipod fore more songs?

    Delete other content from it or restore it. Note that if the songs are encoded at a bitrate higher than 128Kbps or longer than 4 minutes, the iPod won't hold as many as advertised.

  • In Mail, How can I continue editing an email saved as a draft?

    In Mail, seems that once I save an email I've been working on to the Drafts folder, when I reopen it, I cannot continue editing it.

    Came here to find the solution but eventually found one myself. You just simply double click on the e-mail you want to edit on the left pane, and it'll open a composing window.
