iPhone: iOS Mail app not displaying all my latest email in Inbox

Missing Emails in iOS Mail App? Don’t Panic!

There’s a known issue with the iOS Mail app that can make it seem like emails are missing from your Inbox. Here’s what’s happening and how to fix it:

The Problem:

• Mail app shows “most recently moved” emails instead of “newest” emails.
• This can happen if you move a large number of older emails into your Inbox at once.
• The app might only show those emails and any new ones that arrived later.

Relax, Your Emails Are Still There:

• You can see them by logging in to your webmail or using another email app.
• The issue is with the Mail app’s fetching process, not your emails themselves.

What Apple Won’t Fix, We Can Help:

1. Update to the latest iOS version: This may include a fix.

2. Force the app to load more mail:

   • Keep scrolling down in your Inbox (tedious but effective).
   • Older versions of iOS Mail might have a “Load More Messages” button at the bottom.

3. Set “Mail Days to Sync” to “No Limit” (if available):

   • This option helps the app fetch more emails at once (works for some email systems).
   • You’ll find it in Settings > Mail > Accounts (your account).

4. Move misplaced emails to another folder:

   • This can help Mail refetch and display them correctly.

SaneBox to the Rescue (Optional):

• Signs up for you (or re-signs up) and analyzes your emails.
• Moves old and unimportant emails to separate folders, freeing up your Inbox.

Remember:

• Even if you cancel SaneBox, keep your Sane folders to avoid this issue in the future.
