No "load more messages" option in hotmail on iphone 4S

I have my hotmail account hooked up to the email app on my iphone 4S, but there is no "load more messages" option at the bottom of my inbox so I cant read messages before a certain time. I also have a gmail account, and there IS the option to load more messages on that (so i know it can be done), but not on my hotmail account. How can I get the "load more messages" option to come up??
Please help!
Thanks alot

No. To be honest Im pretty sure its because hotmail simply dont support this feature. All my friends with hotmail accounts have the problem too. I have compromised by increasing the "mail days to sync" option to 1 month, and I find this syncs enough messages for me to not have a problem. But as for the original query, I think its simply something we have to live with!
Hope that puts ur mind at rest

  • Cant dowload all emails from Hotmail (no " load more messages" option)

    Hi - I use i phone for both my gmail and hotmail emails. While using gmail, i get the option to "Load more messages" at the bottom of my screen and when i click that iphone downloads the next 25/50 emails from the server. For some reason, i dont have that option for my hotmail inbox. There is no load more message option so i cant retrieve my older emails no matter what i do.
    Does someone else have had this issue. Appreciate your help
    Thanks

  • Inbox will only let me view 8-10 messages, no "Load more messages" option

    I have an iPhone 3g, with my gmail account synced to the email. It downloads the email, but I can only view 8-10 most recent messages at a time. I chose to be able to view 200. The user guide says to load additional messages "scroll to the bottom of the list and tap load more messages" for the inbox when I scroll to the bottom of the list of 10 messages, there is no "load more messages" option. Just the little arrow to check for mail and the option to compose a new message. Also if I want to search for and old message, it always says "no message found continue search on server" and then says "no message found". All of my email goes to my "inbox".
    help? Thanks!!!

    I was having the same problem...I looked into a lot of obscure solutions, until I realized I was missing the obvious one.
    I went to: settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars; clicked on the mail account I was struggling with (did realize there where more options available there); changed the "Mail Days to Sync".
    I hope that helps.

  • Mail now missing 'load more messages' option?

    I'm running iOS 4.02. Mail is set up to use Gmail via exchange synching.
    Today I opened Mail and wanted to go back a few days in my Gmail account so I scrolled to the bottom where I thought there used to be the 'load more/older messages' option. Alas, it's no longer there.
    Did I imagine that feature? Did google update something on their end getting rid of it?

    If you are accessing your Gmail account as an Exchange account, there is an option with an Exchange account for the number of days to sync.
    On your iPhone, go to Setting > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Select your Gmail account.
    At Mail Days to Sync, what is selected?

  • Load More Messages issues

    I saw some posts about load more messages issues, but nothing seems to be the same as my problem. I'm new to iPhone, so I must be missing something obvious.
    I was looking at my emails this morning and deleted all but 5. I responded to an email, but didn’t send because I forget change the server port for outgoing mail that our server requires. So I went into settings and changed the port. I went back to my inbox but can no longer see the messages I saved, instead there's an option that says “Load More Messages” with a note below it stating “5 messages total, 0 unread”. I have no other emails in my inbox. When I click Load More Messages, nothing happens. I can’t figure out how to get to those emails. I tried cycling the power on the iphone, that didn’t help.
    I'm getting new messages normally. My mail is set to show 25 recent messages. Even if I change this, it still displays the "Load More Messages". As an extreme test, I set it to show 200 recent messages, went back to my inbox, hit the "Load More Messages" option, but that didn't help. What's more, I have a full signal and I'm running 3G.

    Hey man, your problem sounds similar to the one I'm having. I can't load more messages on both of my email accounts. But I think I might have figured out the problem. I recently re-installed my hotmail account and when I was looking through my,"Unread" inbox the, "Load more messages" command was working just fine. So I was continuing to go through my messages to make them read (because if your like me, I don't like to have any messages, "Unread." So when all my messages were read there was about 80 in total, and my setting was set to show the 25 most recent. So I backed out of the mail app, did a few more things and came back hoping that there would only be 25 showing with 0 unread and the ability to load more if i wished. Well, there was 25 showing but the box with the load more messages command was gone and no matter how many times I tried to refresh it would not come back.
    So my theory is this; there always has to be an unread message in your inbox for the load more messages to work. Sorry about the long post. I'm going to test this theory out, knowing my luck, it won't work at all. Good luck bro!
    Peace.

  • Yahoo mail will not, "Load More Messages" on iPhone 3gs

    When I go into my Yahoo mail account using the iPhone's mail app, scroll down to the bottom of my list in my inbox, and press the, "Load More Messages" button it will not load more. It's really making me upset. Anyone else having this problem? I have more messages to load but it just refuses to load them. Please help!
    Thanks alot.

    Hey Alan thanks again for the advice but what you suggested did not help/work. On my Yahoo account there is still and option to load more messages, but when I push it, it sadly still fails to load anymore messages. Question? Do the messages have to be unread for them to load? This is really starting to bug me because I can't go back and look at my old emails.
    Also with my hotmail account it still will not even give me the option to load more messages. It's really frustrating.
    And a final note: I tried to add my yahoo account on my wife's iPhone and it behaved exactly the same way (meaning it would give me the option to load more messages but when I asked it to, none would load)
    Sad face.

  • HT201774 "upload more messages" option?

  • Where is the "Load more messages..." button in Mail?

    My Mail icon has a badge showing unread messages since I did a "Continue search on server" but the usual button at the bottom of any inbox saying "Load more messages" is missing. As a result I am unable to view my old unread messages. I have restarted the Mail app as well as the iPhone, with no change.

    I'm trying to change the number of stored emails on both my iPad and iPhone. I used to do this as you suggested but since the latest os7 update the 'Show' option has disappeared. Any ideas what I can do?

  • Can't "Load More Messages" from Exchange Email

    Hi All,
    I have 2 email accounts (yahoo + exchange). In Yahoo when I get to the end of the inbox on the phone, I can click "Load More Messages". This does not show up on Exchange however. What gives?
    I am using PUSH (although if the stuck email thing starts to annoy me, I will sometimes switch to fetch)

    I'm gonna give this a bump too. I'm using iPod touch...and even though I already set my microsoft exchange mail to sync with no limit of days, I still cannot retrieve my mail that is older than 2 or 3 days. On top of that, I don't even get an option to load more messages. Can anyone help us?

  • E-mail won't load... just 'Load More Messages...'

    My iPad 4 recently stopped updating it's e-mail whenever I run the e-mail app. The app starts up fine, but then acts like it's updating the mail, but then doesn't and only adds a "Load More Messages..." option.
    I've tried removing the account, load it again, in addition to restarting the device loads of times, but for naught.
    I just removed the e-mail account, restarted the device, added the e-mail account (double-checking the settings) and now the e-mail will only display the 'Load More Messages...' option. When I click on this it spends a few minutes thinking then does nothing.
    Is there a bug floating around out there or a recent glitch?
    Thanks,
    Nominrath

    Here was the problem I solved myself: My hosting service, Hostmonster, has a "convenient" application using a script that allegedly will set up your client Mail on a Mac for some standard email services, including iCloud. As long as the script was implemented, it was preventing my mailbox from connecting, not enabling it. The only way I know of to stop the Hostmonster script is to delete the account, and then manually reinstall it. That solved the problem.

  • Don't want to "Load More Messages"

    Just set up 3GS, from 3G. After I've read and deleted my (POP) email it says, "Load More Messages ... 2,730 messages total, 2,730 unread"
    I don't want to load them, I've read them in Outlook. Suggestions?

    Hi,
    If you are on o2 (UK), you can register to bluebook, on the o2 website, which is a service provided by o2, once you have registered, you can set the option to save every text message sent/received. It will automatically do it, and you can manually forward on messages too, should you need to, I think they allow a gig of storage.
    Maybe using that you could delete the conversations and always have access to your messages online if need be. For users outside the UK, I don't know if your service provider supports a feature the same.
    I hope this helps.

  • Issue with load more messages feature

    Hi, I'm new to the Iphone 3Gs and I have notice a strange behavior the the "load more messages" feature.
    I've setup my mail account with Gmail and everythings works fine. My mail setting is set to show the 25 more recent messages.
    When I go to my inbox and press "load more messages", it loads 25 more messages so thats makes it 50. I've notice that my inbox will now show 50 messages until a power off/on cycle, than it shows the 25 more recent messages again as stated in the mail settings.
    Here's my problem. The imap folder "All Mail" from Gmail does not work like this. Everytime I hit "load more messages" in that folder it loads more messages but never reset to 25 after power off. Now that folder shows over 100 messages.
    Is there a way to reapply the show settings to that folder ? Only thing that works that I found is to delete the account.
    thanks for your help.

  • Yahoo loading more messages app fix.

    This problem has been driving me nuts for a couple of days so im throwing it out there to help people.
    For the last few days my email seems to have been stuck in a loop telling me " load more messages "
    I try to refresh it but nothing.
    Ive looked at forum discussions and tried uninstalling / reinstalling Yahoo. Turning Handset off and back on again without any luck.
    So here are a couple of fixes for you. If you are anything like me you are gonna kick yourself now. Its really simple to still access your yahoo emails on your iphone:
    First option: Download the yahoo app from the app store. Its that simple. All your emails will now come through the app and is actually much better to use. You also get a dedicated icon on your phone.
    Second option: Go on your Safari / google/ yahoo then log in as you would on a home pc or laptop.
    See i told you that you would kick yourself.....

    Go to your yahoo account via the web. Make sure everything is current there, that is.. everythihng you want deleted, do so. How did you add this account? via the mail app? If so, and cleaning up Yahoo didn't work, try deleting it and adding it via settings. If you added it via settings, do the opposite. But first, clean up yahoo.

  • Activesync not letting me "load more messages"

    I have an active sync account setup with my gmail account that's not showing more than about 20 or so emails in my inbox. I should be able to scroll down to the bottom of the list and click a line that says "load more messages" but that button does not appear. If I set the account inactive in settings and view the same email using IMAP I get the link and I can see more message over and over.
    This is frustrating because I'd rather use active sync for push email like I do on my iPhone using this same account. Anyone else seen this? If it makes a difference, my gmail is actually my own domain email using google apps.

    kensei, I looked at my sync settings and I was only setup for 3 days on mail, but after setting this to no limit, mail seemed to download and download and I could scroll and scroll through the emails.
    It's a half fix. While I can now see more email messages, if I had let it go, it might well have downloaded several thousand messages. I stopped and set the sync to 1 month. This result differs from the iPhone in that on the iPhone, it shows me a certain number and at the bottom get the "Load More Messages". Here, I only get that if I use imap.
    Finally, as far as the Exchange settings go, it's google gmail, so although they use active sync, I really doubt they are using an exchange server. Either way, this same account behaves differently than it does on my iPhone.

  • Cant see the indication "load more messages"

    hi everyone! when i read my mail, i cant load any more by scrolling down. i remember that before, when i scrolled down, i could see "load more messages", but cant see it any more.
    any help pls?

    It could be that your internet is lagging. Try to disconnect and connect to the internet again. Then open a browser to make sure the internet is working.
