How to limit the number of emails that are shown for each account

Hi, I'm going from iOS 6.1 to my new 5s iOS 7 and I wanted to know if there was a way to limit the number of emails shown for each of my accounts? In iOS 6 there is a setting "show" where you can choose how many you would like to be loaded at a time from 50-1,000 , is there a setting similar to this and I am just not seeing it? Please help me asap. I have only logged in 3 of my 12 email accounts and already have over 13k emails loaded...

You can't limit it to the last 50 messages, but you can limit it to the last 1000 messages in each "folder" (label).
Go to the Gmail website and click on the gear icon to the top-right side.
Click on Settings.
Click on the "Forwarding and IMAP/POP" tab across the top of the Settings area.
Towards the bottom of the IMAP section, change the "Folder Size Limit" setting to "Limit IMAP folders to contain no more than this many messages". By default 1000 is selected, though you can also choose 2000, 5000, or 10000.
Click Save Changes at the bottom.

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 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:

How to limit the number of items that a list control can hold?

Hi,
I am using a Flex3 List control for one of my projects.
I add drag & drop functionality to it, so that i can drag & drop elements from one control to another.
How to limit the number of items that a list control can hold / can be dropped in a list control ?
- Sen.

1. Listen for the dragdrop event on the control you are dragging onto.
2. check the length of the items in the dataprovider - if it exceeds your maximum override the default drop action with e.preventDefault(); (assuming you used e for the event on the handler).
Regards,
Mark.

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.

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)
http://www.filemaker.com/
Mail archivers:

Has anyone figured out how to limit the number of emails displayed in the mail app?

There used to be a setting in Mail, Calendar, Contacts that would let you set the number, starting with 50 emails. I can't find this setting in iOS 7.

I do not know why one cannot use an artboard
in Illustrator it looks like this
In Photoshop it looks like this

How can I limit the size of emails that are downloaded in Mail 6.2

I currently have limited bandwith. How can I set up Mail 6.2 to only download email headers for messages greater than 50 kb in size

Thank you. I just needed to be pointed in the right direction. After looking over this stuff, including FilePermission, I think this may give me what I was looking for. It will be a while before I get to implementing it or testing something like this, I'm just trying to get a grasp on all of the things I need to do and how to approach it.
By doing this I can control how much filespace it can use.
I can control CPU usage by monitoring for extra threads that don't belong and killing or settings the priority on it.
Now I just need to think of something to monitor how much memory the plugin uses. I suppose I could gc, then store the current memory usage, then execute the plugin, gc again, and measure the size again. Does that sound like a reasonable way to estimate it's memory usage? I'm not looking for tiny changes, I just want to see large, substantial increases.

Does anyone know how to limit the number of emails in the mail app? I'm using iPod touch 5.

I remember I did this before when I had ios 6 but I can't find that option anymore in ios 7.

Looking at the basic ListUI implementation, it looks like the UI bases its wrapping on the list height (dividing current height by element height). So, it will always grow horizontally, never vertically. Makes sense, I guess, but it leaves me with two hacks:
1) Add a listener to the data model that expands the list vertically based on the desired number of columns. As long as the list lives in a scrollpane, this isn't an issue.
2) Use a table instead of a list. I have a strong negative reaction to this, as it seems somehow wrong to take a component designed for two-dimensional data and use it to display one-dimensional data. It's also a royal pain to set up the table properly: create a facade TableModel that translates to the underlying ListModel, limit selection to a single cell, make sure that the table's header doesn't appear in the scrollpane, etc (I'm sure I'll find things I haven't thought of).

How to limit the number of emails the mail application downloads.

I have over 5000 emails in my online account and I do not want mail do download more than 50 of my newest emails to be downloaded into the mail application. Is there a way to limit how many emails the mail application downloads? Thanks.

This question cannot really be addressed without knowing whether you are using a POP or IMAP account? Since a POP account only downloads new emails from a POP3 server, if using the same computer, then I assume you have an IMAP account? With an IMAP account, where the Inbox actually resides on the server, only the messages you seek to read are downloaded, if in Mail Preferences/Accounts/Advanced you choose an option under "Keep copies of messages for offline viewing" to not keep any copies. Of course all messages remain online on the server.
More info if not applicable.

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.

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.

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.

Hi,
Unfortunately, this is a feature that Apple have taken away.
