Mail not displaying most recent messages --1000 message capacity?

Sorry if this is a duplicate topic, I seached, but found nothing.
Here's my situation:
I have two email account on my iPhone. One is gmail, and one is my school email account. Before today, I have had no issues with mail at all, however, this morning when I go to check my school email, it showed me emails from last November as being the newest emails (and had correctely marked them as read). At the bottom of the list of emails, it said displaying "some number" out of 1000 messages. I have well over 1700 emails on this account so I do not understand why it was only counting up to 1000 of them all of the sudden, since I had passed the 1000 message barrier a long time ago.
After deleting tons of old emails, my phone then displayed messages from March of 2009, and still said "out of 1000" at the bottom. So, I logged onto my email and saw that I still had 1064 messages in the inbox. I then deleted more old messages until the inbox was at well under 900, and then all of the "missing" mail came through.
So, after my longwinded story, I guess I'm trying to ask why that happened, and if there is some email capacity I reached. I only have my phone display the last 50 messages, so I do not understand why it even matter how many messages are in the inbox.
Sorry if my wording is terrible... It's Friday and I'm tired.
thanks for any help!

I have the same problem and posted about it. So it's confirmed it's happening to more than 1 person. I also have 2 accounts setp up. Both are yahoo. One account is fine the other shows mail from 2 years ago as recent. I have over 2k messages in one folder and I can not delete them. They are work history. That's why I love the new yahoo cause it works like gmail and I can search that history now.
Anyway I need this fixed cause the inbox only shows about 10 new messages and then only shows like 6 months ago and older.
They have worked fine over the last month and now all the sudden I get up this morning and it went to crap..

  • Transferred mail doesn't display "most recent" messages in iOS3

    I just setup a brand new Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server and began transferring mail from offline mailboxes to the IMAP structure on the server. This works fine in Apple Mail, as it displays the entire message list and keeps a local cache. However, this does not work properly on my iPad, iPhone or those same iDevices belonging to my colleagues.
    Instead, it displays a seemingly "random" list of 200 messages rather than the "most recent" messages.
    An extensive search of Apple Discussions yielded three very similar cases, all seeming to involve the transfer of mail from one server to another with similar results (errors).

    Has this been solved? Can someone offer me/us some help?
    FTR:
    I am running Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.4), the server is also up-to-date and the iPhones/iPads are as well (3.1.3 and 3.2 respectively).
    Thank you,

    the message just isn't seen as a multipart message.
    What do you mean by that exactly? Only the plain text version is displayed?
    Send me one (tom at bluesky dot org). Not forwarded or copied -- send it to me as if I were one of the normal recipients.

  • How do I keep Mail from highlighting most recent messages?

    Since installing Mavericks, Mail has been highlighting my most recent messages in email threads (the unread ones). This is extremely annoying, and I messed with the Preferences>View>Highlight setting, but this setting is completely unrelated to what I am experiencing. Even if it could have something to do with it it wouldnt, because my mail is being highlighted in gray, as opposed to blue which is the default highlight color in this Mail Preference.

    Here's the answer from Marketcircle:
    This is an expected behavior in Mavericks.
    Mavericks made a change in the Mail app which Daylite Mail Assistant was not able to bring over certain items when adding them in Mail. Our temporary solution is to have the Daylite Mail Assistant highlight the content which allows for the proper import into Daylite. Our engineers are investigating ways to try and have the highlight disappear so that you don't see this.
    We apologize for the inconvenience!
    Thanks,
    Marketcircle Customer Service Team
    Looks like one problem was fixed and this one created for me. I'm not sure if you had this problem, but before Mavericks, when I would tab down in Mail from the addresses (cc, subject) then onto the main body, it would always give me a tabbed start point on the page. Very annoying, but now it doesn't do that. (another DMA problem)

  • Mail Not Showing Most Recently Viewed Message for a Mailbox

    Mail used to go to the last message I viewed when I selected a particular mailbox. Somehow my settings must have changed, because now when I navigate between different mailboxes, it just selects the first message instead of the most recently viewed. More annoyingly, it selects the oldest message in my a given mailbox (the topmost). How can I revert the settings to get my adored mailbox behavior back?

    I have that same behavior occurring, but in only one mailbox. Whenever I open that particular mailbox, it defaults to the top -- i.e. oldest -- message. Every other mailbox I have defaults to the bottom -- i.e. newest -- message. Why the heck is that happening, and how do I get it to follow the same pattern as all the other mailboxes?

  • Mail not displaying content of messages

    When I open a message a spinning wheel and a text message saying "loading" is displayed. The message disappears but the body of the message is never displayed.
    This is only with messages in my inbox that were downloaded today. Messages downloaded yesterday or messages filtered into mailboxes other than the inbox display as usual.
    Messages that do not display in Mail on my MacBook Air open fine on my iPhone or Pad.

    Tried that. Didn't work. After getting your response I tried the solution to my other problem with Mail--not downloading mail: I deleted the account then recreated it. The messages previously unreadable are now readable. Plus, all the message that didn't get downloaded today were downloaded.
    When is Apple gonna get Mail straight? The problems are well known. Have been from the Yosemite upgrade.

  • Mail 7.0 Does Not Default to Most Recent Message?

    With Mail 7.0 and OS 10.9, I'm no longer looking at my most recent messages when I open the Mail app.
    Why is this, and what can I do to fix it?

    Ive quit Mail, restarted my computer. Updated whatever there was to update and its still the same.
    See screenshot.
    I get a date stamp and the sender icon/avatar but thats about it - see first screen shot - however,  I can mouse over the reply action part of the message window and the action buttons appear. Sadly, the content of the message does not appear when I mouse over.

  • POP email loading Old Messages, and not most recent messages: (not Gmail)

    Hi,
    I'm having an issue where my iPhone is loading old emails instead of the most recent ones on the server. I see the messages download in outlook (leave message on server). But my iPhone will download the most recent message for awhiel and it will stop.
    I have it set to display 25 messages. It used to always download the most recent messages and push the old messages out. (i'd have to hit download 25 more to see more). But now it no longer does this. Also, when i delete a few messages, it downloads some messages, but not the most recent ones. Also tried completely deleteing the account and starting over. But after it fills up, the same thing happens. It worked fine for a few weeks, then it started having this problem.
    I've tried deleting all email, but eventually it fills up and then starts doing the same thing.
    Thoughts and help would be appreciated.

    Those messages which iphone can't get are Junk mails..
    First remove the account,
    Go to Setting/mail and choose "show 50 or more recent messages".
    Add your account again.
    go back to mail settings
    choose your account at the top of add account...
    go to advanced
    below the deleted messages
    remove... choose "after one day"
    under the incoming setting, delete from server choose "7 days" (which is quite enough time to keep)..
    Thats all.. Fixed on my phone..
    This phone is not your real mailbox. Use it to check only or respond After that delete them...
    Don't keep your mails in it. Use Mail, Entourage or Outlook etc..
    Peace..

  • In mail how do I stop messages from the same sender from showing up when I select the most recent message from a sender?

    on my iMac, when I view messages there is a grey number at the top of the message. This number denotes the amount of  messages from that sender and when I view the most recent message in my mailbox (from that sender) all of the older messages load with it and this takes a while for the message to become moarked as "read." I know that I can turn this off because I have mountain lion on my air and i do not have this issue. how can i turn it off?
    thanks

    thanks so much, that fixed it! before I posted this quiestions I kept looking in the mail preferences but I dind't think to look on the View menu.

  • Why is it that when I go to the search screen to find a particular message in a conversation it comes up with the message but when I click on it it takes me to the conversation where the most recent message was sent and not the message I wanted

    Why is it that when I go to the search screen and type in a particular message I want to view, my iPhone finds it but when I click on it it only takes me to the conversation at the most recently thing texted and not the particular message I clicked on?

    Never occurred to me you can search messages that way, thanks.
    Another way to do it is to scroll from the most recent message to the top of the screen and tap load more messages, repeatedly till you reach the one you want.
      I like your method better, but with both methods it refreshes to the most recent message.

  • How to have email conversation take on appearance of most recent message?

    I've setup a variety of email rules to change the background colour of messages based on a particular header field.  Basically, messages are coloured red, orange, yellow, or green, depending on their state in a workflow.
    The problem is that collapsed conversations seem to take the background colour of the first message in the conversation, not the last (most recent message).
    Is it possible to have the collapsed conversation take on the appearance of the most recent message?

    Hi
    Perhaps you could use an on-demand application process instead - you can specify these in the URL.
    The URL syntax (for your link) would be like...
    f?p=application_id:page_id:session:APPLICATION_PROCESS=process_idIs this what you mean?
    Cheers

  • Help, I have just restored my iphone from last back up to retrieve vital messages that somehow disappeared.  Now I have lost the most recent messages, calendar details and photos.  How do I get them back?

    I have an iPhone 5S

    You restore from the backup that contained them.
    Restoring from a backup is all or nothing. It completely overwrites the data in the phone when you restore. You can not combine the contents of a backup with what's currently on your phone.

  • Apple mail not showing all the messages?

    In Apple mail, for my icloud account, I have some mailboxes which show the wrong number of messages, it shows too few.
    As an example, a mailbox contains 150 messages, but apple mail reports there are only 146.
    I rebuilt the mailbox and let apple mail do its thing. In the activity window I can see there are 150 messages. Yet, once apple mail has finished rebuilding the mailbox, it still tells me there are 146 messages. What's going wrong? Why would apple mail not show all the messages while in the activity window it clearly shows it knows there are 150?

    Solved!
    This was too weird to be real. Apple mail does not show messages it believes to be duplicates, and buy, does it make big mistakes in deciding what are duplicate messages and what not! Some of my mailboxes had over 100 "duplicates" not showing according to apple mail.
    I found a solution thanks to this topic:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/18265121#18265121
    defaults delete com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates
    does yield an error in 10.8.2 ( Domain (com.apple.mail) not found. Defaults have not been changed. )
    defaults write com.apple.mail AlwaysShowDuplicates -bool true
    Does work brilliantly though!

  • Incoming mail not displaying?

    Incoming mail not displaying?, appears to download but does not display. Began today. Nothing has changed with computer hardware or software. Mail working fine on iPhone. Any suggestions?

    Hi Linc,
    Usually after about a couple of minutes use.
    Not one particular message - it will freeze for a moment then completely crash
    It seems to have solved it self now though.
    I can view my text.
    Used CCleaner to clear all cache, under the mail app and all miscellaneous cache too.
    Restarted laptop and works a treat now.
    Curious as to whether it was due to the upgrade to Maverick though
