Searching Mail on iPad and iPhone

Both in my iPad and iPhone searching Mail only brings up emails that I've sent. Why can't I find emails from others?

Hello gswank2,
If you want to search in your incoming mailbox, select the email account you want or select All Inboxes if you have multiple email accounts.  Then type your search keywords in the inbox.  See the diagram below:

    How do I create new folders in mail on IPad and IPhone for saving emails?

    You can't do it on the iPad you would need to do it on your computer and the folder will be seen by your account on the iPad and iPhone only if they are IMAP and Exchange accounts. POP accounts are not supported for folders.

  • Unsync mail with iPad and iPhone

    I  am using an iMac, system 10.9.5. I want my mail to NOT sync with that on my iPad Air and my iPhone 6plus. It used to be set that way before I got the new 6Plus and upgraded the Air. I thought the Techie who helped with download problems  had arranged that for me, but when I went to look for some old  mail today, he hadn't. This computer is out of warranty, so I cannot phone AppleCare. I am bereft.

    I suspect the iCloud setting are currently set to sync. Verify the iCloud settings on all the devices you use. If you are not sure how, Apple explains how and where to look in https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html

  • Mail on iPad and Iphone

    When using the mail in IOS5 (or previous versions) why isn't there a way to mark and email as spam?

    Hiya. On you iOS device, you can move a suspected spam message to your junk folder, and your MobileMe/iCloud should send a background script to apple highlighting it as spam.... Over some time it will learn and filter it out. On a mac mail, agin you can transfer messages to you junk folder and the process is the same, or as a more concrete way of highlighting spam, you can right click on the message and choose send as attachment. This will create a new mail window with the text as the spam message in attachment form. Send this to address [email protected] and all the information surrounding it will be added to apple server.
             I do agree though that apple spam filters are a bit rubbish. I get hit once a month by a lot, and the range of it is so wide that I can't even set up 'mail rules'.
             Hopefully though after a biit of time this will help you significantly in beating spam.
    Good luck!
    Best.

  • Mail on iPad (and iPhone) shows only old emails

    Hello.
    I have migrated all my gmail emails into @me.com iCloud account. After this, on my mobile devices I can only see a few recent emails and a bunch of old emails (like the once I received in 2008 & 2009). Inbox is like this:
    2012: 5/6 emails
    2011: 20/25 emails
    2010: 150 emails
    2009: 500 emails
    2008: 300 emails
    Sent folder is correctly shown from the most recent sent to the oldest.
    Mail on MacBook shows everything as it should be.
    I hope someone of you could help me to understand what's wrong.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Set up your email as an IMAP account.Your email provider must support IMAP for this to work.

  • E-Mails in IPad and iPhone without content and sender "This E-Mail has no content"

    Often I get E-Mails listet without content and no sender "This E-Mail hasn't got any content" I can't get rid of the ghost, only by  total restarts. . Why does this happen and how can Iavoid this?  Klaus

    Move them out of the trash and back into the Inbox.
    Open the Trash, tap Edit, tap the email to select it, then tap Move.

  • Can I see the budget of unread emails on ipad and iphone before update?

    Hello everyone.
    I would like to know if I can see the budget of my unread e-mails on ipad and iphone before update.
    That is, I turn on my ipad or iphone and see immediately if and how many unread messages I have.
    Thank you!

    If you go to Settings>Notification Centre>Mail each of your email accounts will appear here separately. You can then change if Badges are displaye on the Mail App - which will show you the number of emails - or not.
    Regards,

  • We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is: Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.

    We purchased a new iPad2 and registered it using a 'new' iCloud email/ID. We are unable to send email from the iPad and iPhone. The error is:>> Cannot send mail. The user name or password for iCloud is incorrect.

    About ~20 hours later, this ended up solving itself. We can send email using the '.icloud' email from both the iPad and iPhone.  Advise would be 'wait' before you start seeking alteranatives like yahoo, hotmail, etc.  This definitely is a convenient way to keep all your 'cloud' information in a centralized place, including the common email...

  • I am using an iPad and iPhone and have exchange as my email. Both will only collect mails when I am in the wifi of the office, and not when I am out and about. I can't seem to get a fix for it.

  • Why won't the folders in Mail sync consistently across my iMac, MacBook, iPad and iPhone?

    Ok, this one is complex; here's the deal..... 
    I'm using a single Gmail account with Mail on an iMac, MacBook, iPad and iPhone, using Lion and iOS 5. The 4 respective 'Mails' are not synchronising consistently between each other.  Here's what's going on:
    Received messages are appearing in all 4 Inboxes.
    If a message is deleted from any of the 4 Inboxes, it is deleted from all other Inboxes.
    So far so good. But:
    When I create a draft message, or delete a message from the Sent folder - iMac and Macbook sync with each other, and iPad and iPhone sync with each other, but each 'pair' won't sync with the other 'pair'.
    But to complicate things further (and this is the one which is driving me up the wall), let's look at the Sent folder:
    If I send a message from the iMac or Macbook, the message appears in all 4 Sent folders.
    But if I send a message from the iPad or iPhone, those 2 devices will sync their Sent folders, but the message will NOT appear in the Sent folders of the iMAc or MacBook.
    So what is going on there? I've spoken to numerous One-to-One staff and Apple technicians on the phone over the last 12 months, we've checked settings, I've deleted and then reinstalled the Gmail account on Mail - but no success.  Please solve this for me!!

    The reason I asked is because keying all devices synced is exactly what it is all about.
    FYI, You need to use the Mail application, but you do NOT need to use an @me.com account. It support Gmail and other mail servers.

  • How do i set up my mac, iPad and iPhone so that when i delete mail on one it syncs and deletes it from the others at the same time?

    Hi, how do i set up my iMac, iPad and iPhones so that when i delete an e-mail (or other action) from one it automatically syncs and duplicates the action on the other devices?

    You need an IMAP-type email service rather than a POP-type mail service. IMAP automatically does what you want. Contact your email provider to see if they offer IMAP.

  • I have two Apple IDs - one associated with iPad and iPhone and the other associated with iMac and MacAir. I am going to lose the former e-mail address imminently and would like to associate all devices with just one ID. How do I do this? Thanks

    I have two Apple IDs - one associated with iPad and iPhone and the other associated with iMac and MacAir. I am going to lose the former e-mail address imminently and would like to associate all devices with just one ID. How do I do this? Thanks

    Thanks - I guess it is like there were two of me!
    I bought the iPhone first and it seemed natural to link it to the (work) e-mail address which was in constant use. The iMac for home use came next and it seemed natural to use my home e-mail address, particularly as I knew by then that I would lose the work address after my imminent retirement. The same logic went for the recent puchase of the MacAir. I am not sure what happened with the iPad (also a recent purchase) - iTunes seemed to puch me towards the same ID as the iPhone.
    It is not a huge problem - just makes my persona look schizoid! Otherwise very happy with everything Apple.

  • My Mail application is rejecting my password even though I'm putting it in correctly. Mail is working fine on my iPad and iPhone but not my iMac so it must be something to do with the Mail settings on my desktop. My software is up to date.  Can you help?

    I have an iMac, operating system 10.7.4 with up to date software. My mail application is rejecting my password even though I know I am putting it in correctly. I have an ipad and iphone and the mail application is working fine on them. On my desktop however I cannot receive or send mail. I think it must be something to do with the settings but cannot work out what. I have contacted BT who provides my email and internet. As I have another email address with them that is working correctly they believe it is a problem with mail rather than with them. Please can you help?

    OK Vicky, good clues...
    See if this helps...
    Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over. See if there are duplicates, should be one for Incoming & one for Outgoing.
    Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
    If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

    In order to use your Apple ID to create an iCloud account, the primary email address associated with the ID must first be verified.  To do this, Apple will send a verification email to your account and you must respond to the email by clicking the Verify Now link.  Make sure you are check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.  If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.
