How long are emails stored in iCloud

How long are e-mails stored on iCloud servers after they have been read? Is there a way to ensure they are kept indefinitely?
Most mail seems to disappear after a month or so.

    How long are emails kept?

    It depends on your internet mail service provider and any settings you may have made as to retention. I use ATT Yahoo mail and I have emails from years ago. If you use a mail service like Yahoo, the emails are retained on Yahoo's server.

  • How long is email retention on iCloud?

    I'm having trouble locating emails > 6 months old in my iCloud Inbox. Is there a retention policy deleting old emails?

    No. Emails stay on the server for as long as you leave them there.
    I still have emails from over 12 years ago in my account.

  • How long are (sent) emails stored on icloud?

    Dear Community!
    I've been using @mac.com for a long time (several years).  How long are emails stored by Apple?  I'm trying to find an email I sent in April 2009.  Thanks!

    They are kept until you delete them.

  • I deleted an app by mistake. when I tried to restore my phone from my icloud backup it wasn't there.  I need an older backup. How long are they kept?? Thank you

    I delted an app by mistake.  when i tried to restore my phone from icloud I need an older backup. How long are they kept?? I'd like to get this app and it's contents back.
    thanks

    Apple states that it keeps your last 3 iCloud backups, which would only go back a few days if you back up daily.  Also, apps are not stored in the backup, only your app data is.  The backup simply notes which apps were on your phone when it was backed up, then downloads them from the App store when you restore the backup.  If the app is no longer available in the App store, it will not be restored to the phone when you restore the backup.

  • How long does it take for iCloud to sync to my devices?

    I just discovered that I could drag Word documents onto the iCloud web site from my computer. Pretty handy trick.  Drag and drop should be how this works.  So to test it I dragged a document from my My Documents Folder onto the iCloud web site in my browser (I wish my company would update to Windows 7 so it would be easier to align windows on screen).  It appeared to upload just fine.  So I went to my iPhone and opened Pages to see how badly the file translated from Word 2007 to Pages for iPhone.  And no document.
    I have waited about 20 minutes so far. Am I being to impatient?  Just how long does it take for iCloud to promulgate my documents to my iDevices?  I am hopefully getting an iPad for Xmas so I need to get this worked out before I actually need this for work.

    It actually goes pretty fast once you are on a WiFi connection.  I found an open WiFi connection at Starbucks and when i got back to my desk the files were all there on the web site.  I fond the Use Cellular connection to sync in settings and decided that I didn't need to sync my docs all the time so I will just wait to connect when I can get to a WiFi.
    Now I just need to figure out how to sync my contacts.  iCloud doesn't seem to play nice with Google contacts when they are on an Exchange connection.

  • How long are sent messages retained in iPhone 4

    How long are sent messages retained in iphone 4?

    As far as I know, until you delete them. However, keeping huge numbers of old text messages on your phone can take up a lot of space and can have an impact on the performance of the Messages app. I would recommend archiving them off the phone if you want to keep them. I use PhoneView on my Mac for this purpose. TouchCopy is a Windows/Mac app that I believe does the same.

  • How long charactors can stored in 'STRING' type?

    HI
    I'm just curious how long charactors can stored in 'string' type.
    and if there is limit number to store what kind of type is unlimited length type?
    and is it possible send a parameter page to page with 'form'  'post' way unlimited length of string?
    and is there any type of DB field which is save last number of records  automatically when one record is inserted like MANDT?
    MANDT is client number though.
    Regards.

    Here is what ABAP key word documentation says about string
    The elementary data type STRING is similar to data type C and refers to a variable-length string. Accordingly, the elementary data type XSTRING is similar to data type X and refers to a variable-length byte sequence.
    In contrast to a C or X field, the length of a string is not static but variable and adjusts itself to the current field content at runtime. Dynamic memory management is used internally. Strings can have any length.
    The initial value of a string is an empty string with length 0. A structure containing a string is seen as deep. A deep structure cannot be used like a C field. Strings can be displayed in the ABAP Debugger and used in the ABAP Dictionary.
    It is not yet possible to use strings in screens or database tables. However, strings can be stored in database tables as clusters using EXPORT and transferred using IMPORT.
    As far as I know the limit is 4 Giga Byte which equals more or less no limit. I donnot expect that you will meet this limit in practice. Its very likely that will run out of memory before you reach this limit.
    In short there is no limit to the data stored in STRING var but the system memory has a limit....
    This can be proved with the below program:
    For the program system dumps with mess.
    "Unable to fulfil request for 127683972 bytes of memory space. "
    here's the test prog.:
    TABLES ekko.
    DATA testmax TYPE string.
    DATA z(16) TYPE i.
    SELECT * FROM ekko.
      CONCATENATE testmax ekko INTO testmax.
      z = strlen( testmax ).
      IF  z = 63841496.
        BREAK-POINT.
      ENDIF.
    ENDSELECT.

  • How long are IPhone messages stored on Apple Servers?

    Thought I read somewhere it's 30 days.

    If you have visual voicemail messages available, turn on Airplane mode and try accessing a message.
    You will see an error message that reads - Visual Voicemail is currently unavailable, with a Call Voicemail selection below.
    If you don't have cellular reception, you won't have access to visual voicemail messages which are stored on AT&T servers and made available on the iPhone via AT&T servers only. They are not stored locally on the iPhone.
    You are incorrect.
    I have 4 Visual Voicemail messages on my iPhone right now, I can see them in the list when I go to the voice mail area. With the iPhone in Airplane mode, yes the is a button to call voicemail, but the 4 messages that I have on my phone are still listed and can still be played as they are ON MY iPHONE. What you cannot do is get any new messages as clearly there is no network available.
    So as I originally stated, once you have received notification that you have a visual voicemail message on your iPhone, that means that the actual message has been downloaded to your iPhone as an audio file, which you can then play regardless of if you have a mobile / data service or not.
    This is how visual voicemail operates, it is how you can see who they are from and play them in any order, because they are on the phone and you are NOT contacting the server to listen to them.
    It is also why deleted messages can be undeleted, as they are just moved to a 'deleted' area on the phone. Once the network service gets confirmation that the visual voicemail message has been successfully received by the iPhone it is removed from their systems and does not exist anywhere but on the iPhone.

  • How to restore data stored on icloud

    Hi - I have around 13gb of data stored on iCloud (i can see this when I click on manage storage).I wish to use iCloud to retrieve this data when setting up my IPad. However, when I set up the ipad and use a backed version in the icloud, I am not able to retrieve all 13gb of data. So, my question is how to use the iCloud to retrieve all this data on my IPad.
    Many thanks,
    James.

    hi grant. thank you.
    i think i am one giant step away from completing all of this. of course at the moment i am recalling your "you are trying to do too much at one time" caution. the lowdown here is that my IT guy just left for a cross country trip and is not available and i am in the weeds big time. can you help me with something?
    i am in Lion and I seem to be seeing TWO user accounts named after my SHORT NAME (say this is "Mac's Mac Short Name") for my Snow Leopard install. One has the ICON for my Snow Leopard Install and the other has a default ICON.
    in the USERS folder i am seeing one folder with the HOME FOLDER ICON that has the same name as my Snow Leopard Home Folder and I see one folder that has the same name as the SHORT NAME listed above. So this folder says "Mac's mac Short Name" and it has folders in it with red circles and negative symbols showing it is not accessible (these are Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Movies, Music, and Pictures).
    Since I migrated my DESKTOP (long story but i have a lot of data on here and i wanted it in Lion so I could organize it before moving some of the work that was finished to the raid volume where my DOCUMENTS folder is located) - I can tell that I /think/ that the SHORT NAME with the Snow Leopard icon is the correct user but when i try and delete the User Acount with the same short name but a default icon is says that there is 194.1 GB of data in here!
    So i am confused to the point where it seems OK to copy my home folder in Snow Leopard to the Data Drive but it seems unwise at the moment to point my new Lion install there because I am so confused as to what i have for user accounts.
    Did any of that make sense enough to solve? I hate to think i am out for two weeks over here.

  • HT204053 How long does it take for iCloud to upload data for syncing?

    I started iCloud over 6 hours ago and yet the progress bar still show 5GB out of 5GB being available.  Should I be turning this thing on somwhere or does it automatically upload the info to the cloud so I can access it.  If so, how long does that take?  Is 6+ hours a normal wait?  I really just want to update my bookmarks so I don't need much space but they don't show as being available.
    Humph!

    Any bookmarks that are synced by iCloud do not use up any of your 5 GB free storage space. What other type of data are you expecting to see there.

  • How to delete email account on iCloud

    How do i delete a email account on icloud and put in a new one ?

    If the ID is your the iPad is signed into is your old ID, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPad on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
