How do I restrict the number of emails that my iphone downloads on ios7

On ios6 I had my mail set up to only download 25 messages per box to my iphone.  I have updated to ios7 today and this option has disappeared from the settings menu and now my phone has downloaded more then the 25 that I want it to.
How can I specify that I just want the 25??
Thanks.

No there isn't.
Have the emails been read via webmail access using a browser on your computer or with an email client on your computer if both email accounts are being accessed with an email client on your computer?
With that many unread emails on the iPhone, that sounds like one or both email accounts were created as a POP account. When creating an existing email account as a POP account with an email client on a computer or on a device such as the iPhone, all existing received emails at the incoming mail server that remain on the server are downloaded as new and unread emails.
If the accounts were created as an IMAP account and all emails have been read elsewhere, they would not be available on the iPhone as unread emails since all server stored mailboxes with an IMAP account are kept synchronized with the server.

    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

  • How do you regulate the number of emails that are kept on your phone before they are deleted?

    HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE NUMBER OF EMAILS THAT ARE KEPT ON YOUR PHONE BEFORE YOU DELETE THEM?

    Your carrier sets this by time, not the number of "rings" since different ring tones take different times/ring.  The typical setting is 30 seconds, sometimes up to 40 seconds.  Contact your carrier to shorten it.

  • How do you limit the number of emails that download in ios7?

    How do you limit the number of emails that download in iOS7? In previous versions, I was able to limit (i.e. 50/100/ etc), the number that would download to my phone at any given time - other than new emails. Past/old emails would only be reloaded if I deleted newer ones or I requested more be loaded.

    Now solved:

    Guy in my thread fixed it for me. Very simple to do.

  • How can I restrict the number of emails in iOS 7?

    In the previous versions of iOS you could indicate how much emails you wanted to store on your iPhone. Now in iOS 7 that option is gone.
    I don't want to clogg my iPhone whit all my emails.
    What can I do to restrict the number of emails?

    Other than changing to an IMAP or Exchange account, you can't. The feature you're referring to was removed in iOS 7.0.

  • 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 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.

    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.

    How do I delete excess email messages from my iPhone.  There are 300 messages listed, and every time I delete some, more are added from old messages.  How do I limit the number of messages that can appear on my phone?  How can I delete messages in bulk,

    You can't.
    All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the Photo Library. The photos in the album or albums below are not duplicates - they include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. This way you can view the photos in a particular album only by selecting the album, or you can view all photos available in all albums by selecting Photo Library.
    Just as with an iTunes playlist. A song cannot be in an iTunes playlist unless the song is in the main iTunes library. Placing a song in a playlist does not duplicate the song. Remove the main iTunes library or the songs from the main iTunes library that are in a playlist and the songs will no longer be in the playlist either. This way you can listen to the songs in the playlist only by selecting the playlist, or all songs in your entire iTunes library by selecting Music under Library in the iTunes source list.
    The same with iPhoto on a Mac. A photo cannot be in an in iPhoto Event or Album unless the photo is in the main iPhoto library. Placing a photo in an Event or Album does not duplicate the photo. This way you can view the photos in an iPhoto Event or Album only by selecting the Event or Album, or all photos in all Events or Albums.

  • How do you show the number of emails in Mail folders?

    Hi,
    I'm a little lost with the new Mail format.
    It was really helpful for me to know the number of emails that were in my Mail folders - it used to tell me at the top. But since I upgraded to Yosemite, I don't see that as an option. Can someone tell me - is there a way to make this feature come back?
    Thank you!
    Bob

    I've never seen "1 of XX" in OS X that I can recall. Often, iOS will show that.
    In OS X, typically, you'll see the number of messages in the titlebar (i.e. Unread (22 messages)). However, there seems to be an issue that if you view a smart folder, when you go back to the Inbox, you don't see the number of messages anymore. If you quit and restart Mail, the number appears. Perhaps that's what you're seeing?
