IPhone keeps losing 6 months worth of emails - please help...

Hi all,
My iphone 3GS recently lost about six months worth of emails - I found I had the last three or four mails I received then it jumped back to April (six months ago.)  The emails were still in my Hotmail account when I looked online.
At that time I'd just had a hard drive failure.  I had plugged my phone into laptop with new HD and it recognised it as a new computer so couldn't sync - I put email issue down to that. After sorting all that out and syncing to "new" computer all was fixed.
But it's just happened again.  Back to exactly the same date in April, with only a few mails from last few days.  Don't understand why. 
And also happened on my girlfriend's iPhone 4 this afternoon as well. 
Anyone got any ideas? 
Is this an iPhone problem or a Hotmail problem?  Haven't updated to iOS5 yet because I don't want a bricked phone - could that be the issue?
Any help gratefully received.
Thanks

  • Keep losing internet connection!!  Please help!!

    I'm connected to the internet using ATT DSL Built-In Ethernet. On a daily basis I will lose my internet connection. This is extremely frustrating. Please reply with any helpful suggestions.
    thanks,

    I have the same problem, both on my iMac and Mac Mini. I had several calls in with a case number and so far, the last call seems to have fixed the problem. I have a DSL modem that is in bridge mode for supporting 2 Linksys routers, one wired, one wireless. Sleep is part of the problem, as the IPA does not appear to refresh on waking up and another device may be using that IPA
    First, we created a new location. Go to system preferences, network, location (where it defaults to Automatic) and add a new location. A good tip was to use todays date, in case you add additional ones. Select that location and hit apply. The system was restarted, then put in sleep mode to see if the internet would connect after sleep. Internet connection remained, however, the test would be overnight. Next recommendation was to change the client lease time on the router for IPA. The default is 1 day, which may mean the lease expired when the computer was asleep, and hence requires a manual renew. I changed the time to the maximum, which was advised was OK if there are not a lot of devices.
    So far, so good. If the problem continues, I will assign manual addresses on the Macs versus using automatic DHCP.

  • Iphone 4 music shuffle cannot be turned off. The shuffle is turned off on top of the page, shuffle on individual songs are turned off and the settings shuffle is turned off also, but the songs keep shuffling in my album. Please Help.

    Iphone 4 music shuffle cannot be turned off. The shuffle is turned off on top of the page, shuffle on individual songs is turned off and the settings "shake to shuffle" is turned off also, but the songs keep shuffling in my album. Please Help.

    The weird thing is that after I click shuffle when the random number appears, I click it to turn it off and then I click it on again and it works fine. Is this a glitch or a bug or am I doing something wrong? How do I fix this?

    Disable anti virus software.
    Turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security (or Security & Privacy) > Firewall
    If that doesn't help, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
    Click Go
    Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Now here:
    ~/Library/Preferences
    Click Go
    Move these files from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
    com.apple.appstore.plist
    com.apple.storeagent.pllist
    Now here:
    ~/Library/Cookies
    Click Go
    Move the com.apple.appstore.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
    Empty the Trash, try the App Store.

  • All day calendar events not being displayed in the notification centre for iphone 5 post ios 7 upgrade. Please help. Is it a bug?

    All day calendar events not being displayed in the notification centre for iphone 5 post ios 7 upgrade. Please help. Is it a bug?
    With iOS 6, the all day events showed up in the notification centre but it lacks in the upgrade iOS 7.

    Same problem here. Some people pointed out that all-day events do show up in their notification center, but that seems only to be the case for birthdays (and only as text like the weather). I've tried it myself on my iPhone and iPad and it did work for birthdays but not for any other all-day events. I already sent this to Apple as a product feedback as well, as should everyone of you. The more people mention it, the faster Apple's going to fix this issue. In its current state, notification center is not a very helpful feature in my opinion. There's absolutely no point in not showing all-day events in the 'today' calendar overview.
    Here's a link to the product feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    I posted my message in the iPhone section since I couldn't find a page specifically dedicated to iOS 7.
    I really love the look &amp; feel of iOS 7 but it's kinda sad to see notification center not tapping its full potential.
    Cheers!
