Gmail on IPhone Only Showing Old Emails

I woke up today and when I went to check my gmail on my phone I only have emails from stores, hotels, the philharmonic etc. None of my personal emails are showing up. All of the emails I am seeing are old emails that were never opened (since they are basically junk).  I checked my email on my computer and I have received personal emails this morning but they are not coming through on my phone.
Have I somehow set my gmail on my phone to show certain message types only?
Please provide suggestions for how I can get my email back to a functioning state on my phone.
Thank you.

Multiple outgoing mail servers is not the problem. It is common to have them; if one fails the iPhone will try the next one.
If you are using a POP3 provider and you are getting old messages on the phone that have already been retrieved by your computer then either the mail server is not properly deleting messages that have been downloaded by the computer or your computer is set to leave the original messages on the server. You can check this setting in the mail.app preferences on your Mac. If it is set to delete after downloading then the problem is in your mail provider.

    Hi jackburkholder,
    You will need to delete the iCloud account with your old ID, but before you can do that, you will have to go back into Manage Your Apple ID, and change your Apple ID back to the old address. Don't worry about verifying it, you just need to change it.
    Then, go into Settings>iCloud and turn off Find My iPhone (it will ask you for a password - put in your current one to turn it off). Then, scroll down to the bottom of the screen and Delete the iCloud account using your current password.
    Also go into Settings>iTunes & App Store, clidk on your old ID and sign out of iTunes.
    Then go back to Manage Your Apple ID and put your new Apple ID back in.
    Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with your new Apple/iCloud/iTunes ID.
    Go back into Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign on with your new Apple/iCloud/iTunes ID.

  • My iMessage will not register that I have a phone number attached to the account on my mac. It only shows the email addresses. My iPhone and iPad work perfectly.

    Hi Aurion23,
    If you intend to keep using iCloud on your iPad, your best course of action would be to update your Apple ID/iCloud information so that you have a known password and it is associated with an active email address. You may find the following articles helpful:

  • List View in ios8 on iPhone only shows 1 year

    List view in ios8 on iPhone only shows 1 year. Earlier events are there, and you can see them in other views, but not in List View. Any ideas?

    OK, I solved it. Here is the solution if you have precisely the problem I had.
    1.  On the iOS device: delete the iCloud account.
    2.  Go to the Apple ID website and make sure the ONLY email there is the me.com email and that it is set as primary. If you Mac.com email is listed as a secondary email THIS will cause the problem. So delete the Mac.com email.
    3.  Log back in to iCloud on the iOS device.
    Only you wanted to use the Mac.com address and not the me.com one, you could follow the above instructions just swapping me and Mac.

  • HT1414 I'm trying to restore from an earlier backup but my iphone only shows the most recent. I'm on Windows Vista and found the backup folder. If I delete the recent files, will it force the iPhone to backup from the next older file?  Why doesn't it show

    I'm trying to recover a file and the app company said to restore from an earlier backup.  My iPhone only shows the most recent backup.  I've been searching the net for answers - I found the back up file and date sorted them (over 6mb of files).  How can I get my iPhone to restore from an earlier backup? 
    I am on Windows Vista so I don't have Time Machine. 
    I have backed up the backup folder so if I mess it up, I have it in a separate place.
    Can I just delete all the files with todays date in that backup folder and have it forced to the next oldest date?
    Why doesn't the iPhone show a list of the least several backups.
    Info:
    iPhone 4S
    Software version  5.1.1
    Backed up to computer through iTunes (not iCloud)

    As you backup the iPhone in iTunes, it overwrites the last backup. Files are kept as they are changed, so that would explain how you get different dates in your backup folder. The only backups that are saved and not overwritten are the ones done just prior to a restore. You do have the option to go back in time on a Windows computer, however depending on the last time you set a restore point in Windows, it could be back further than you are willing to go.

  • My iPhone has my old email set up throught iCloud. How do I reset my new username with the device without deleting everything. And if I have to delete my old account, will everything (contacts, pictures, games, apps, etc.) be erased from my phone.

    Your old ID connects to an icloud account containing all your data (email, contacts, etc.)  If you then use a different ID, you will connect to a different account, which results in losing all your "apple" data, like emails, contacts, calendars, etc.
    However, Apple IDs are also used to connect to an itunes store account, with is different.  You can keep using the old itunes store ID to keep all your purchases (but if you change to a different ID, you will lose all purchased items) and use the new ID for icloud (but losing emails, contacts, etc. from the old account).

  • HT201263 iphone only shows logo for 13 seconds when connected to pc thats all it does however i connected to wall socket it goes up to connect to itunes but when i unplug it then it switches off

    iphone only shows logo for 13 seconds when connected to pc thats all it does however i connected to wall socket, it goes up to connect to itunes but when i unplug it then it switches off.
    this is coincidently after an ios update for iphone which i did just approx two days earlier which was suppused to fix battery issues?
    also battery shows 100 percent full but as i explained if disconected from socket it switches off altogether.

    Hopefully and most likely faulty battery. If you have Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.

    Hi omar makram,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone is only starting up to the Apple logo, see the advice in this article:

    These steps can help return your iPhone to working order.

  • My new mac book air will not show old emails.  how can i fix this problem

    my new mac book air will not show old emails.  how can i fix this problem

    The answer depends on a number of factors, such as the following:
    If you have more than one email account, does this problem affect one, some, or all of your accounts?
    Where did you last see this mail -- in your Inbox(es)? in some other folder(s) outside your Inbox(es)? somewhere else?
    How old is the missing email -- yesterday? just before you got the new computer? over a week? over a month? over a year?
    How are you reading email -- with the builtin Mail application? with some other mail-reading application? with a web browser?
    How do you access your email on the server -- IMAP? POP? Exchange? web browser? other?
    What version of OS X is on your new computer -- Mavericks (10.9.x)? Mountain Lion (10.8.x)?
    Did you migrate your data and applications from your old computer when you set up your new computer?
    For example, if the missing mail is the mail that was in your Inbox before you got the new computer, you are reading it with the builtin Mail via POP, and you failed to migrate data, then the mail was left behind on the old computer. The same would be true if the mail was in "On My Mac" mailboxes and you failed to migrate data.

  • Both iPad & iPhone only show 500 old emails

    Both of my mobile devices are showing 500 old emails from 2009 what is going on ? I have tried deleteing account and re adding but no change, earlier about 4 hours ago all was fine then bang it just started to only show the 500 oldest emails

    You should check what icloud is currently storing in the email server to see if it's just the devices or the emails are really gone.
    Using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and then go to the email page.  If all "recent" emails are gone, then someone has deleted them, most likely - do you share your icloud account with anyone else?

  • I changed email address, i updated in the manage apple id page, saved info but I cannot get into my iphone because the old email address keep showing up.  How can I get the old address off my iphone??

    help me please to remove my old email address on my iphone.  I already changed the address on the apple id page, but it hasn't tranferred to the phone and I cannot use my iphone.  My head is about to explode! 

    Welcome to the Apple community JB.
    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

  • IPhone 4 downloading old emails randomly from last week or a few weeks ago

    I am not seeing this problem when I download my emails to MS Outlook, only on my iPhone 4.  It appears to be random.  I will have an old email from a week or so ago just show up in my inbox.  I keep my inbox very clean, only current issues that need addressing stay in there. 
    I prefer to keep my emails sitting on the server, but I have gone in and deleted them off the server.  Still having the same issue.
    My husband has the iPhone 4S without this problem.
    I have updated to the newest operating system.
    I *think* this issue showed up even before the new update.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!
    Michelle
