Why have I lost read email messages on my iphone?

I've only had my iphone 4 for a week or so.  All of a sudden today I have lost my read email messages.  I still have them on computer but lost them on the phone.  Also lost my sent messages.  I would like to get them back.  My spouse also has same phone and the same thing happened on his phone as well.

What is the account type - POP or IMAP?
Sounds like the account is a POP accout is the sent messages are not available.
If so, what is the account setting with the email client used on your computer for accessing the account for removing messages from the server after being downloaded by the email client?
If the email client on your computer is removing messages from the server after being downloaded, the messages will be removed from your iPhone as well since the messages are no longer available on the server.
Although it is possible to access a POP account with more than one email client, a POP account is designed to be accessed with a single email client only.

    Why have I lost radio 4 on my ipad, iphone and ipod. I have tried lots of different british radio apps.

    I can't tell you how it happened, but if you want to get them back on your other devices, download the app My Contacts Backup on your 4S and use the app to back up your contacts as a vCard attachment to an email.  Send the email to yourself.  You can open the email on your iPad and tap the attachment to import the contacts to your iPad.  If you want them in iCloud, go to Settings>iCloud on your iPad and turn Contacts to On before importing the contacts.  If your computer is signed into your iCloud account this will also make them appear on your computer.  If not, import the vCard attachment to whatever contact management program you are using on your computer.

  • Why have I lost all my information on my iphone because i accidentally delete my apple ID

    i need to recover all my previously bought apps and ring tones etc.  I deleted my apple ID account on the phone by accident but has now re install it back.  so where is all my notepad info and my phone contacts gone.

    I have done the restore to a date in february, however my info that I recently added in july is not on the phone...grrrrrrrr!! I refuse to believe that all the info could just disappear like that when icloud is meant o always back up on wifi.

  • TS2755 why have we deleted all saved messages and the iphone 4s sitll says 6GB is devoted to messages. I have seen this question asked numerous times but Apple seems to be ignoring it.

    Can't update the Iphone operating system because 6.8 GB is devoted to messages despite the fact that all messages have been deleted.  Did a reset, back up and restore, still 6.8 GB allocated to messages.
    The local Verizon store, which is a company store, just said to back up and restore with itunes, but that didn't work.
    I have seen this question asked on support community blogs and various people have suggested different solutions, some very technical that involve changing settings on the backups saved on Itues files on your PC and lots of posts from people saying it worked for me, but many others saying no, that didnn't work.  
    It seem utterly irresponsible for Apple not to publish a fix that actually works.  With what you have to pay for these phones, it's ridiculous.

  • Why have I received an email from Adobe telling me my subs about to run out?

    Why have I received an email from Adobe telling me my subs about to run out? I bought a Creative Cloud sub for a whole year about a month ago - with auto renewal too. I went back and checked my account with Adobe. That all seems to be in order. Why have I got an email telling me I have till 10 June 2012 before the sub runs out?

    I too have received this email and one telling me my trial software expires in 2 days. I checked and yes, again I'm showing trial software though AAM shows the creative cloud copy downloaded and installed. I was unable to reach anyone within 20 minutes of hold at Adobe customer support phone but was able to speak to someone named Karal on chat. Karal told me that Adobe would look into the matter and get back to me. When I asked for a case number I was told one would be sent to me after the chat. I'm still waiting.
    There are numerous problems with the Adobe Creative Cloud as everyone knows. What we need to keep in mind when dealing with Adobe Creative Cloud is that we are all BETA testers for this new type of service. Adobe was and is unprepared to service the Creative Cloud at this time but I can't believe they are not working to resolve the problems. Will some customers get "screwed" over during this BETA testing period? Of course. You have to expect that you will and take it with a grain of salt. Let's face it there really isn't another option to Ps/Dw/Lr/Acrobate is there? No, so let's calm down and try to help each other. The poor souls on the other end of Customer Support are just as lost and confused as we are..it's not their fault and they have no power or resources to fix the overall problems.
    I can tell you what I’ve done for the company I work for since I recommended the cloud and obviously it was not a good choice for us at this time,
    On 6/9 we will cancel the subscriptions to the cloud unless I find that the individual software will not recieve maintenance updates as is now the current rumor.
    We will upgrade our individual software packages with the upgrade option and request CD backups.
    We have contracted with DropBox for a 500mg box. I really like this service so far.
    I’m hoping this puts me back in good status with the boss and the graphics department as everyone will get what the need to work without the limitations of the cloud and without me spending hours each day trying to figure out support issues.
    Remember if you can live through the next 6 to 10 months the Creative Cloud will probably be a great thing. If not, bail now and come back when it's ready for "prime time". As we use to say in my RANGER days. "Suck it up soldier; this is what we train for!"

  • Why have I lost PDF printing capability through the File Print menu?  When will it be fixed?

    Why have I lost PDF printing capability through the File>Print menu?  When will it be fixed?

    What app are you using to view PDF files? Preview can be a poor choice for some PDF files - I recommend using Adobe Reader - http://get.adobe.com/reader/ - perhaps it will solve your printing problem.

  • Why have i lost all my contacts on my iphone4s that I just purchased 5 days ago?

    Why have i lost all my contacts on my iphone4s that I just purchased 5 days ago?
    I noticed that the contacts were there a couple of days a go and now the whole contacts directory is gone. This is my first iphone having had a Blackberry Storm prior to this. I just signed up for icloud and I'm wondering if it might have been something that I might have done. I'm not familiar with many of the options on the iphone.
    Thank you

  • Why have I lost all the books in my iBooks library?

    Why have I lost all the books in my IBooks library since it was updated to iBooks 1.5. My library is now blank & I'm not a happy chappie!
    Can anybody help me please! I'm disabled & it's not easy for me to sync my iPad with my PC so I'm hoping that I won't need to do that.

    You can redownload any purchased books without syncing with your PC. To do this, open iBooks on your iPad, click on the Store button at the upper left of the screen. Once the store loads, you'll see a tab labeled Purchased on the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen. Click there and you'll be able to download any books that you purchased from the iBookstore.

  • Why have I lost video sound on my ipad?

    Why have I lost video sound on my ipad?

    Try this  - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.
