    Hi,
    Unfortunately, this is a feature that Apple have taken away.
    The best way to let them know you want it back is via http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • How can I limit the number of emails retained on my ipad air?

    How can I limit the number of emails that are retained on my iPad Air?  Because of legal requirements of a long-term project, I cannot permanently delete emails relating to that project from my ISP's mail server.  My gmail account contains over 17,000 emails and, upon setting up my new iPad, and updating to ios 7.1.1, I now have all 17,000+ emails taking up space.  I would like to limit the emails by count as I was able to do on my old iPad running ios 5.1.1 OR to retain them based on date range.  I have not found any instructions on the support discussions or general iPad blogs that allow me to do that.  Any way around this problem?
    I also miss the 5.1.1 mail search feature that allowed me to narrow the search by from/to/subject/all.  Does anyone know if that feature is available using some little-known ios 7.1.1 feature?
    Thanks for your help.

    If you have a decent mail provider like Microsoft Hotmail or Outlook.com mail it does.
    If you have Gmail it does not.  Quite right. Gmail is rubbish.

  • Hi, how can I limit the number of emails I can see on my iPhone 5. Every time in delete one and older email gets added from my live.co.uk account (where I want to keep my 2500 emails) I just don't want many on my phone. Thanks

    You can't. Why on earth would you attempt to manage 2500 emails with setting up a folder structure or some means of doing so? Simply keeping them in an single inbox is not realistic, no matter what email client you use.

  • How do I limit the number of emails that show in my active mailbox?  There was a way in Settings on ios 6, but i can't find it in ios 7.

    You need to delete your current hotmail account set up on your iphone.
    Once this has done click 'Add Account' and select the new 'outlook.com' tab.
    Set up your hotmail account again from scratch and this will then allow you to select how many weeks/months of emails you sync to your phone.
    Im not sure if anyone else had a similar problem to me prior to iOS 7, but if i deleted an email from my hotmail account on my iphone - it wouldnt sync with my actual hotmail account. So when i logged in online all the emails I had deleted on my phone would still be showing as unread.
    But by setting the account up as above, they now sync perfectly.
    Well for me anyway

  • How do you limit the number of emails that download in ios7?

    How do you limit the number of emails that download in iOS7? In previous versions, I was able to limit (i.e. 50/100/ etc), the number that would download to my phone at any given time - other than new emails. Past/old emails would only be reloaded if I deleted newer ones or I requested more be loaded.

    Now solved:

    Guy in my thread fixed it for me. Very simple to do.

  • How to limit the number of emails that are shown for each account

    Hi, I'm going from iOS 6.1 to my new 5s iOS 7 and I wanted to know if there was a way to limit the number of emails shown for each of my accounts? In iOS 6 there is a setting "show" where you can choose how many you would like to be loaded at a time from 50-1,000 , is there a setting similar to this and I am just not seeing it? Please help me asap. I have only logged in 3 of my 12 email accounts and already have over 13k emails loaded...

    You can't limit it to the last 50 messages, but you can limit it to the last 1000 messages in each "folder" (label).
    Go to the Gmail website and click on the gear icon to the top-right side.
    Click on Settings.
    Click on the "Forwarding and IMAP/POP" tab across the top of the Settings area.
    Towards the bottom of the IMAP section, change the "Folder Size Limit" setting to "Limit IMAP folders to contain no more than this many messages". By default 1000 is selected, though you can also choose 2000, 5000, or 10000.
    Click Save Changes at the bottom.

  • HT201320 How do I limit the number of emails in ios7? On older software I could limit mail to 50 or so.

    I have thousands of email in my Verizon account. Now that I've upgraded to ios7, they're all stored on my phone and it keeps locking up. In older versions of the software I could limit the number of emails on my phone. I can't find that setting in ios7. Any ideals?

    Thanks, but issue of pain for me is on opposite side, as per thread above:
    I do not want so many emails stored on iPad storage.
    All I want to be able to limit emails stored to, say, last 3 days.
    If older emails are available available only via search on server , I am fine that.
    With this change in iOS7 Apple undertook shameless effort to press users to buy more expensive higher strife devices, and for sooner depreciation of previous line of models.

  • TS3899 I can't find the 'sync settings' in the mail settings to limit the number of emails in my account

    I can't find the 'sync settings' in the mail settings to limit the number of emails stored on my ipad.

    That option depends on what kind of mail account it is. On an Exchange account, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Tap the account and you should see "Mail days to sync." If that option isn't there, you won't be able to change it. You could always clean up your inbox on the server.

  • I use an exchange server.  Despite checking general settings to limit the numer of emails to 100, I have over a thousand emails.  What do I do to limit the number of emails?

    Are there any settings to limit the number of emails in my inbox?

    Verizon is not doing that it is the mail that is doing that.
    Check your device settings for email and read the owners manual as to how to set up mail to download. How you want it, leave on server, etc.
    Good Luck

  • HT201320 How do I change the number of email messages I can view in the new iOS.

    I have the new IOS on my phone and can't find the setting that allows me to change the number of email messages I can view. Anyone know?

    You should have 200 undos, and can verify this in the bottom left flyout >> show >> number of undos (this show shows many undos you have cahced, not your max amount, will max out at 200)
    You can try changing the 200 in the illustrator preferences, by using a text editor, saving and then booting illustrator. Not sure this is a great idea, as 200 should be plenty, but let us know your results if you try.
    /undoDepth 5
    /maxUndoDepth 200
    Older versions of Illustrator let you change this in the preferences, but they must have decied that hitting CMD Z more than 200 times is not a good way to spend your afternoon.

  • How do i limit the number of emails on iphone/ipad

    I accumulate far to many emails (now 1500) on my ipad2 and 150 on my 3gs.  How can I change the settings to limit the number in the future?

    I don't know why the mail app is downloading all of these messages on your iPad, but try a couple of other basic steps.
    Quit the mail app and restart your iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Tap anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    You can try resetting the iPad as well.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Maybe even deleting the email account and adding it back on would be helpful if you want to try that.

  • How do i limit the number of emails displayed in ios 8

    I want to limit the amount of emails that are downloaded to my mail app. I can only find instruction for doing this in ios7. I am using ios8. I don't have a “Mail Days to Sync” option.
    Any ideas?

    You may want to post in the correct forum, this one (AppleWorks) is for a rather old piece of Apple software for a Mac.
    Post in the iPhone forum.

  • HT201320 Can we limit the number of emails kept in the Mail app on iOS 7?

    In previous versions of iOS, I could limit the amount of emails that were kept on my iPhone to avoid a "build-up" of many messages; I believe I set mine to 50 messages per account. Is there a way to do this in iOS 7? I do not see the option anywhere. I my phone is using over 650MB of my phone's storage and counting. I see this as a looming problem on my 16GB iPhone 4S.
    Thank you for your help.

    That setting is no longer available on the iPhone. If this is an Exchange account, there is a setting for how much to sync. I'm not sure if there is a similar setting for IMAP accounts, but there is nothing for POP accounts. You would need to manually delete files on a regular basis and then set similar settings for how often to empty the trash.
