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.

    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.

    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 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.

  • 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 are emails kept ?

    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.

  • Why are sent emails not stored in the Sent Items folder in iOS7

    Why are sent emails not stored in the Sent Items folder?

    Thanks, Matt.
    I'm now starting to notice the emails that don't come in order are all posted from sites that use multiple platforms to send the same message; email, Facebook, Twitter, etc. so maybe that has something to do with it. I'm thinking the hold up is possibly at their end.

    What about number of days. How long is a photo stored in shared photo stream? 30 days?
    Also, do photos in a photo stream (shared or personal) get backed up on a pc if the icloud panel is there?
    Regards               

    I've adapted this from a function on my blog. you will need to add set the YourTicketTable to where ever your tickets are stored.
    CREATE
    FUNCTION [dbo].[CalcWorkDaysBetween](@StartDate
    As DateTime,@EndDate
    AS DateTime)
    RETURNS
    INT AS
    BEGIN
    SET @EndDate
    =DATEADD(DAY,1,@EndDate)
    DECLARE @Count
    AS Int= 0
    DECLARE @Date
    As Date=@StartDate
    WHILE @Date
    < @EndDate
    BEGIN
    IF (DATEPART(WEEKDAY,@Date)IN(1,7)
    OR (SELECT
    Count(*)
    FROM YourTicketTable WHERE TicketDate=@Date)=1)
    BEGIN
    SELECT @Count = @Count
    + 1
    END
    SELECT @Date=DATEADD(Day,
    1,@Date)
    END
    RETURN
    DATEDIFF(DAY,@StartDate,@EndDate)- @Count
    END

    How long should it take for an icloud backup of about 6.4GB?  I selected a manual backup and it has been running all night?  Thanks         

    That's going to depend alot on your internet connection speed. 6.4 GB is alot of data, especially if your connection speed is slow (DSL) or low-end cable speeds of ~1.5 Mbps.

  • How to Sync Multiple email Account with iCloud

    I have many email account over a local internet service provider and different hosting companie.
    Is it possible to sync all my account over my MacBook, iMac, iPhone using icloud?
    How can I do this?
    Can you help?
    Thank you,
    BigBlaze

    According the this: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html, "After moving to iCloud, family member accounts are no longer linked to the master account."  You can share an iCloud calendar (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2690), but I don't think you will be able to share iCloud contacts unless you are signed into the same iCloud account on both phones.

  • How to sync "sent emails?"

    I use bellsouth.net as my email account. My iphone 4 will not sync the "sent emails" from Microsoft Outlook. When I spoke with someone from Apple's support line he said that it was because I had a pop/smtp email and that I would have to change my email account to a newer one to be able to have my sent emails synced. Anyone have a solution to the problem?

    The solution to the problem is as you were already provided.
    You need an Exchange or IMAP account, which is designed for this. All server stored mailboxes with an Exchange or IMAP account are available automatically with each email client used to access the account along with all server stored mailboxes kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account.
    A POP account is from the early dark ages of email account access with an email client on a computer when the overwhelming majority had access to a single computer only - before there were laptops and long before there were any portable cell phones much less smart phones.
