  • HT1694 How do I reduce the number of emails in my iPhone inbox?

    In the previous iOS I was able to choose the number of days I could sync mail back to. Since the update, I have years worth of emails synced on my phone. Any clues how to reduce this number?

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

  • How do I limit the  number of emails showing in the inbox.  (iOS 7)

  • In Mail 2.1.3 how do I reduce the number of emails?

    Hi,
    I hope this is the right discussion group for a question about Apple Mail. I didn't see Mail in the list of discussion topics, but I see that Mail is an application because it's in my application folder.
    I have over a thousand emails in my inbox and in sent mail. I've been told that this can affect the performance of Mail and that I need to get rid of a lot of emails.
    In Entourage there was a backup or export function. I don't see anything like that in Mail. Also, I'm well along creating and using Smart Mailboxes and it seems to me that if I get rid of emails in inbox and sent mail that they'll drop out of the Smart Mailboxes.
    I do notice Mail running slower than before.
    What to do? How to do it?
    Thanks for your input,
    Rafael

    Hi BDAqua,
    What do you mean "...one mailbox of about 20." 20 what?
    IMAP.
    Yes. I'd like to know how to back them up. They won't be available to Mail Smart Mailboxes either, will they? At least they'll be there in case of a crash. I use Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC http://www.bombich.com/index.html) and make incremental backups. My entire hard disk is backed up. But Safari Bookmarks, for instance, don't get backed up in their latest, daily version unless I've done Safari>File>Export Bookmarks to a folder. Then CCC picks up that folder. Same with mail, CCC back doesn't pick up anything. A friend mentioned .mbox.
    As I said, I'm creating many smart mailboxes and folders. What's to keep all the work I'm doing in setting up the smart mailboxes from disappearing in the event of a crash? Are the smart mailboxes able to be backed up?
    Would you remind me please: I was told a while back that to quote from a post, as you did above, to "just prefix it with a >". I did that successfully once, but I tried it here and couldn't remember where to put the prefix, I mean, in your message, or in your message below here in "Replying To:".
    It's getting late. I better leave it at that.
    Thanks,
    Rafael
    PS My Mail seemed to be moving slowly, expecially noticeable when clicking on 'Inbox' then waiting for the window to fill up. Maybe it's just the way it is.
    I didn't get back to you sooner because I didn't set up my preferences here correctly in order to get emailed when there is a reply.

  • 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.

    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.

  • How do I increase the number of emails in my inbox it is only showing 5.  I have a 5c.

    How do I increase the number of emails in my inbox. It only shows 5. 

    That issue can be caused by the FastestFox extension.
    * FastestFox Options > General, uncheck "Enhance Awesomebar"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    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

  • HT4489 How do I reduce the number of calendar items on iCloud (having exceeded my 25000 entry limit and synch has now stopped), without loosing recurring items or future appointments. I.E. can I remove items by calendar year, say 2010 and 2011?

    I have been advised by apple that I have exceeded the 25000 entry limit on my iCloud calendar. Now, every time I try to make an entry in my iCal (iCloud) calendar, I get a warning with error warning "507". In essence I cannot add entries to my iCloud calendar on iCal, and synch with my iPad and iPhone has stopped.

    You can't change that.  It's a function of the OS and cannot be altered.
