IPad & iPhone Hotmail Folders Empty

iPhone & iPad folders empty
Sometime recently, perhaps after updating my iPhone and iPad to iOS 6, I noticed mail is missing from many of my HotMail folders on those devices. My account is set up as an Exchange account. I have since deleted it from my iPad and added it back as a new Exchange account. My Inbox repopulated with a small number of existing emails, but just a few of the 100 plus emails that are accessible via a web browser on my desktop computer. Likewise for my Sent mail and Trash. None of the folders I created on my own populated on my iPad of iPhone with the emails that are in them and which are accessible via desktop and web browser.
If I send a new email message to my account, then after it arrives I move it using my desktop to one of the folders I created, it shows up just fine. In other words, there doesn't seem to be any problem with new emails, just earlier, preexisting emails. I tried using my desktop to move emails from one folder to another to see if they would then populate on my iPad, but that didn't help. I tried marking them as unread. That didn't help either.
I cannot find a way to make preexisting emails show up in the folders on my iPad or iPhone.
Has anybody encountered this before? Is this a known bug? More importantly, is there a fix or a workaround?
Thanks.

Thank you.
I found the answer. It was operator failure, my fault. In the settings on my iPhone and iPad there is a setting called Mail Days to Sync. I had this set to a short duration. When I changed it to No Limit, all the older mail was properly populated into their respective folders.

IPad / iPhone Mail folders for smtp

I use yahoo smtp. Broadband email service here in Canada by the cable provider monopoly....... Oh I digress
Anyway, is there a way to create folders In iPad mail for smtp mail type providers?
It doesn't appear that yahoo mail or Rogers webmail allow for "top"level folder creation with inbox, sent, deleted. Only sub level folders that of course don't appear to move over to my iPad.
Is there a solution?
Is there a mobile me solution where all my email account can push to me through and allow me to create folders?

Oh I digress
You sure do.
This is the iWeb '09 forum.
It's Raison d'être is discussing how to create webpages with said app.
You might try your luck in the iPhone/iPad forum.

Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

How to see old emails in hotmail folders on iPad

Can see my hotmail folders on iPad mail but do not contain previous emails. Any ideas?

Are you accessing the account with the Mail app?
If so and you want all server stored mailboxes available on your iPhone, you must create/access the account as an Exchange account. Instructions for doing so should be available via Microsoft's Hotmail website or try a Google search for it.

How to access my Hotmail folders in Mail on my Mac like I can on my Iphone. I have 10.7.5 Lion operating system

How can I access my Hotmail folders, not just emails, in Mail?

It sounds like you have your Hotmail setup as POP in Mail. You will need to add a new account as IMAP. Note, when you delete the POP account in Mail it will also delete the messages in the Inbox. You need to archive or move the Inbox messages to a folder before deleting the account.
The iPhone is connecting through ActiveSync (which is exclusively for mobile devices).
Since you are using [email protected], you might need to log into your account in Safari and add aliases for your email as [email protected] before creating the IMAP account.
Receiving
Incoming IMAP mail server: imap-mail.outlook.com
Incoming IMAP mail server port: 993

Organise photos to be able to backup in date folders on ipad / iPhone

Is there away to organize ipad / iPhone photos into folders that can then be backed up to a cloud? I have multiple devices and don't like that the photos all get dumped into one folder with no thought for date organising. I want to have a cloud backup where the photos are already organised automatically by date, ideally month and year.
Thanks in advance for any advice,
Paul

Please follow these directions to properly change your Apple ID to your new email address.
Before you change your Apple ID:
Sign out of all Apple features and services that you use with your current Apple ID.
Make sure that the email address you want to use for your Apple ID meets these conditions:
The email address is one that you use regularly, because it will be the primary email address for your Apple ID.
The email address is not associated with any other Apple ID.
The email address is not an iCloud email address, which is already an Apple ID. iCloud email addresses end with @icloud.com, @me.com, or @mac.com.
To change your Apple ID, follow these steps:
Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com), click "Manage your Apple ID", and sign in.
If you have two-step verification turned on, you'll be asked to send a verification code to the trusted device associated with your Apple ID. If you are unable to receive messages at your trusted device, follow the guidelines for what to do if you can't sign in with two-step verification.
In the "Apple ID and Primary Email Address section," click Edit.
Enter the email address you want to use, then click Save Changes. Apple will send a verification email to that address.
Open the email from Apple, then click Verify Now in the email.
When the My Apple ID page opens, sign in with your renamed Apple ID.
If you have two-step verification turned on, you'll be asked to send a verification code to the trusted device associated with your Apple ID.
After you see a message indicating that verification is complete, remember to update all of the stores and services that you use with your Apple ID.

Syncing Ipad & iPhone in Seperate Folders

Need some advice. I currently have an iPad and will be getting the iPhone 4s soon. I want to keep the apps, music, photo's and video's in seperate folders, so when I sync or backup a device it would save it in designated folder. Would you suggest making 2 seperate folder's 1 for the iPad & 1 for iPhone, I don't want the same apps, etc., on each device or visa versa. In iTunes "Edit" "Perferences" "Advance" settings I have created a folder for my iPad, should I do the same with the iPhone? and change folders through the Advance when I sync up each device ? or would this confuse iTunes ?

How are you syncing your ipad right now? Are you just syncing everything? You don't have to - you check off which items you want for the ipad. then when you get the iphone you check off different apps for that. This apple article has a screenshot of that in step #5
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1977
If you're determined to have separate folders between your ipad & iphone, you might be better off having completely separate library database files. You can do a shift-start to choose between your iPad and iPhone library database and have them use different folders.
Switching the folder location in one library database is guaranteed to be a mess, no matter how you think you'll always remember. If you have podcasts that auto download they might start downloading when you're in the wrong library, for example.
itunes is designed to support multiple devices...maybe you're overthinking this?
The backups will still be separate though and always go to that location in the article I posted above.

Hotmail folders on ipad

Is there a way to have the folders you have in your hotmail web based account show up on your Ipad Mail program?

You can have your hotmail folders appear on iPad by building your account on iPad as an exchange account. When it either asks for the server name or populates it with a pop server, change this to m.hotmail.com. Once saved, go back into Mail, Contacts, Calendars, click on the Exhnage account name and at the bottom it should say Mail Folders To Push. Select the folders you want showing in the iPad and give it some time to update all of those.

How do I copy FOLDERS to or from my iPad/iPhone/iPod touch using iTunes File Sharing?
I know how to copy files to or from using iTunes file sharing but it doesnt seem to allow copying of folders

From your PC or Mac, you can copy a folder (and it's contents) into the DropBox folder. It will then sync ans will be available in your DropBox app on the iPad.
GoodReader includes built in connectivity to DropBox, will pick up the contents and then allow you to easily copy files to other folders within it, as well as open files in other apps on your iPad.

Is there a iPad/iPhone cache we can't empty?

I'm saving a Safari page to my home screen. When using browse in Safari the page renews with the info I expect but when I use the home page icon to access the page it is holding old info and won't update correctly. Is there a cache that is not being updated in the iPad/iPhone. This issue is on both types of device.
Thanks in advance.
Alan

Hi, I understand your comments now thanks. Yep, so done everything like clear cookies, data, history. Carried out hard resets, still Home Page Icon throws up old profile settings yet Safari browsing show new profile settings.
Still looking for an answer please....
Thanks
