HT3529 Show recent messages problem

My iPad doesn't allow me the '50 show recent messages options'. It keeps reloading until I have 200 all the time. I deleted the account and added it again. I did a reboot. This option works on my iPhone. The only difference is that I upgraded the iPad to 7.0.4 but did not upgrade the iPhone. 200 messages, many several days old, is annoying. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hey yeger!
Regarding to your question, Apple decided to remove this menu, so any mail that stays in the inbox for more then 100 days, will automatically be deleted.
Hope this helps,

Installed Thunderbird but it only shows recent messages - why?

After months of problems with Outlook I installed Thunderbird. It seems to work great, but this morning I went to search for an email...I couldn't find it. I then realised that it only shows recent emails in the inbox. I've read various things but can't seem to make it download my old messages which are on the server and still show in Outlook.
Please help me sort this.

Is Thunderbird the default mail account?
Do you have an IMAP or Pop mail account?
If IMAP, what settings do you have here? :
'Tools' > 'Account Settings' > 'Synchronize & Storage' for the mail account
At the top of the page, 'Keep messages for this account on this computer' should be checked if you want to synchronize messages between your local system and your mail server.
Under the Disc space section, do you have it set to only synchronise the most recent xx days or messages ?

Show - Recent Messages

In my iPhone 'Mail' settings, I have set 'Show' to '500 Recent Messages.' This setting is for my Hotmail e-mail account. However, I continue to receive and see well over 500 messages. Why is this happening? How can I control it to show only upto 500 messages?

IMessage on Macbook isn't showing recent messages?

Around the end of November 2014 (it's now midway through March 2015) I disconnected the messages app from my phone and stopped using it (pretty sure there was a reason but I can't remember it). I now want to start using it again but when I open the app and allow everything, none of the messages and conversations I've had since November appear, the last one on there is from the 23rd of Nov. How can I get all my recent conversations onto the iMessage app on my Mac?
Thank you in advance :^)

Hi,
I am not entirely sure I understand which bit you had not working.
It appears to be the iPhone version at the top of the post but then you talk about getting the iMessages on the Mac.
Anyway I am not sure that it is that important.
Any device whether and iPhone or Mac will show the iMessages sent to it (either to iPhone or Apple ID) if it is not linked to the other device.
At the point to Link them (Add the Apple ID to the iPhone effectively and then accept the pop ups on the Mac) then the iMessages sent to the other ID (iPhone Number counts as an ID here) with "sync" as Apple Calls it, and you will see the iMessages on either device sent to either ID from that point On only.
The iMessages sent to the iPhone Number are effectively duplicated and sent individually to the iPhone and any other registered device.
Each is then Pushed to the devices. Only the Mac can accept the one pushed to it. the iPhone can only accept the one pushed to it.
Once the device has the iMessages they are deleted from the Server (unlike emails that can be left on the Server and Fetched later of by any new device).
There is also a Timed Out factor if a device is Off line fro too long (an iPhone can be de-registered in this time if it happens)
I.e. if there was only one device registered for iMessages there was only one copy of the iMessages at that time and it will have been deleted.

Not showing recent messages in Yahoo Groups

I have noticed in the past week or so that messages to a couple of Yahoo Groups are not posting promptly. Right now Firefox is showing me no messages posted since 7:17 a.m. even though I can see in Internet Explorer that messages have been posted at 8:37 a.m. and 12:36 p.m. that have not yet shown up when I view the Yahoo Group in Firefox.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Unless the email account supports push access for received email, push being on or off makes no difference.
Push is supported with a Yahoo account created with the Yahoo account preset, with an Apple iCloud account, and with an Exchange account?
If the account is a POP account, are you also accessing the account with an email client on your computer that remains launched and running actively checking the account for new messages which your iPhone is doing the same?
If yes, what is the account setting with the email client on your computer for removing messages from the server after being downloaded?

Mail not showing recent messages

I have my mail set up to show last 50 messages, but as soon as I read a message, it disappears on my phone. I have my mail set up to fetch, should it be on push or manual or does it not matter? It's just frustrating when I'm out and need to access my email and it's no longer on my phone.

Why has the Show recent messages been removed from IOS7?

Mail Contacts & Calendars used to have an option to limit the number of emails stored locally
The feature has been removed, why? or maybe it's been moved ?
Any ideas?

YouTube is not now part of iOS 6. However, you can download the YouTube app at http://itunes.apple.com/app/youtube/id544007664.

IMessage always closes at startup and deletes recent messages

Dear users,
Every time when I start my computer (and iMessage), the application says that there is a mistake and it has to be restarted. After re-opening iMessage, it works, but it randomly doesn't show recent messages. Even when I wrote and sent one via my computer, it isn't visible via iMessage at my computer anymore. I can only see some old messages from days ago then.
I hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Whilst you can remove the Apple ID from the iMessage one you also can't delete it as an Option.
The Bonjour account is present for everyone and cannot be deleted.
In that sense my comment about "Default" should have also said not deletable.
As you have no AIM or Jabber IDs (or even Yahoo) accounts set up it is not going to be those Logins that are the issue (or the .plists that deal with them).
You have to access a file that is in a folder that is Hidden at present.
To get there to this:-
Have a Finder Window Open.
In the Go Menu select Go to Folder and then type ~/Library/Preferences into the dialogue box that appears.
Once in th Preferences find and drag to the Trash com.apple.iChat.plist
Restart Messages.
This .plist holds many of the Preferences you can change in Messages and some of the account info.
If deleting that one does not work then delete (Drag to Trash) com.apple.imservice.iMessages.plist
On restarting Messages you may need to re-enter your Apple ID as the .plist here holds your Apple ID and the "Aliases" linked with it.
IF this does not work repeat the process and move com.apple.iMessages.bag.plist to the Trash
This one holds the server name that Messages is connecting to for the iMessages account.
Again Restart Messages.

IOS7 mail problem: Can't Limit Recent Messages

It seems iOS7 eliminated the option to set the number of recent e-mails to have on the phone. Looking at the MacWorld guide to iOS7 I found the following : "Similarly, a few settings are no longer available: the option to choose how many recent messages to show..." This is a problem for me, I have about 30,000 gmail messages, I don't need them all on the phone. Unless there is an option I can't find, I would respectfully request Apple consider providing thie "# recent" option to iOS7.

Unfortunately, there isnt an option anymore. It shows you all messages on you mail host server. You can leave feedback for this request http://www.apple.com/feedback/

My iPad shows a message "Cannot find AirPrint printer". I used to use my iPad to print materials using HP wireless printer D110. Now it does not want to print. Is this because I am now using IOS 7? What should I do to solve the problem? Help please.

Hi guys.Got a problem with my iPhone 5. I bought it in a shop 4 month ago. After I got a visitor with iOS 7 on his phone he would like to charge his phone with my Laptop and cable.But when he plugged it in it showed a message wich says: " This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this phone".
How is this possible? I then phoned the shop and told them my problem. When I gave them the details I also found out that the imei No. in the iPhone is the same as on the original box. But the the Serial numbers are different. I already try the support centre but I’m over the 90 days.And there is no Apple Store in Namibia. I hope someone can help me here. Thanks, Ralfar

You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money..
