How can i limit size of incoming emails
Hi
Since creating Gmail mailbox on Iphone my data usage has increased dramatically. Is there a away of limiting the size of initial download to phone, then bringing down rest of message/attachment on demand?
There is no such option/setting on an iPhone. Whether you can view the attachment has more to do with your connection, WiFi or cellular, and the size of the attachment or the overall size of all attachments if more than one attachment, than anything else. There will be a paperclip indicating the message includes an attachment regardless if downloaded with the message or not. When connected to the cellular network, if an attachment is below a designated size the attachment will be downloaded automatically. If over a certain size, you must select the attached file icon in the body of the message to download the attachment. The size limit varies by carrier/provider.

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.jlfcba wrote:
IOS 7.1.1 doesn't show a "days to sync" parameter anywhere in SETTINGS/Mail,Contacts,Calendars/ACCOUNTS/GMAIL Account/ GMAIL Acccount Info. There is nothing in iTunes relating to such an option either. So, it seems I'm back to square one.
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.

Time Capsule: How can one limit size of Time Machine Backup?
So there appears to be no easy way of partitioning the hard drive in Time Capsule. If this is so how does one limit the size of the Time Machine backups folders?
I want to use the hard drive to act as a normal storage device for various files but I understand that Time Machine will keep on increasing the size of the backups folder until it eventually runs out of space on the hard drive partition. Since one cannot re-partition the hard drive how can Time Machine be allotted only a specific portion of the hard drive? I don't want the hard drive to be filled with Time Machine backup folders.Thanks BSP. Yes I am aware of the ability to limit the folders that TM backs up. I use this capability, But that certainly is not the solution I want.
I have not bought Time Capsule and probably will not buy it unless Apple fix this 'problem' and make the hard drive in TC behave like any other hard drive.
Why is it that Apple comes up with innovative designs which are let down by being 'crippled' in some way? Apple TV is another good example; can you steam from DVD Player? No. Can one steam a presentation directly from Keynote? No. With a little more thought Apple's products would be great. But, alas, this is not the case. -
Help, where is the limiting selection for the number of messages to retain on device? How can I get rid of old, read, messages? Just a problem since upgrade to new ios7

How can I prevent duplication of incoming emails?
I need to find out what is causing about 40% of emails received from being duplicated and then fix it once and for all. I don't leave messages on the server. I read the article on this topic but it seems hit and miss try this try that; I want something a bit more professional please.
As You have no idea of the cause then no one can offed more than try this try that. that is what diagnosing the problem is all about.
I have problems with outlook.com. As far as I can work out it is because it is a crappy service? Who are you have problems with?
Have you tried without your anti virus scanning incoming mail. It is the number one cause, but again it is try this try that.

How do I limit the number of emails that show in my active mailbox? There was a way in Settings on ios 6, but i can't find it in ios 7.
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 -
With the new IOS7 I get every email in my inbox. How can I limit to the last 50 like it was before the upgrade?
You can set the pref <b>browser.urlbar.formatting.enabled</b> to <i>false</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page.
To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu. -
How can I limit no. of emails displayed on iPad or iPhone, iOS 7?
In the Mail app on iOS 7, both my iPhone & my iPad show literally hundreds of emails, going back 3 months. It seems as thpough if I trash some of them, even earlier emails get loaded. How can I limit the no. displayed?
There is no Safari version 7.1 on the iPad. Did you tap the sold Blue bookmark icon again to be rid of the bookmarks list on the left? The one at the top of the toolbar. not the one in the bookmarks window,

how do i limit the amount of emails shown on my i phone. on my i pad there is an option to show last 100 emails, 200 emails ect. i dont see that option on my i phone.
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.
Business Database: (has iphone app)

I have limited space on my new ipad. How can I limit the number of songs from my itunes on my imac from going to my ipad when I connect the two?
you can do this by keeping the external hard drive connected and doing the following
-hold shift key down on computer while opening iTunes and a prompt will appear to choose a library
-select choose library, iTunes should bring up your explorer windows where you can search for the external HD
-after you find the external HD find the iTunes folder you just copied to it
-after opening the iTunes folder look for the file that says iTunes library.itl or if you can't see that extenstion just look for a document looking thing in the iTunes folder that shows up as a database file
-double click the database file and boom iTunes should load your library without having to copy it to the computer
PS: do make sure that if you are going to do it this way, make sure that the external HD is connected at all times, because if you don't then you will get exclamation marks next to your iTunes songs
double PS: if you are unsure how to find out if the iTunes library file is a database file just right click it and choose properties and under the type it should say database file
hope this helps:)
