How long did it take for your missing emails to appear?

[@ChocolateMelanin]

2 seconds 😅😅😅

[@flyonbyya]

Right away…

[@Ronsolo767]

Instantly showed my older emails. Great video with such a quick and easy to follow along tip. Bravo!

[@juliaguglielmi-mollica4010]

Thank you! I just could not understand why my emails would disappear without me deleting them thank you again

[@Olukemiade]

immeditely thank you

[@j.k.6048]

I see you liking replies from 6 days ago.. but what about the iphone 11 /12 / 13 questions from 2 months ago? We dont have that mails to sync option at the bottom? You have tips for people who still uses phones from 5/6 years ago but what about (majority of the) people who uses 11 or higher ?

[@Prrtygalsx]

and 14

[@Prrtygalsx]

Wait u said higher nvm

[@garthlinton6760]

Great Dave. My wife has been grumbling about "disappearing emails"from her iPhone8 for ages. I followed your instructions with her standing next to me and within seconds they all started coming back. I would have thought Apple would use "no limit" instead of "1 month" as the default setting. Anyway she owes me big time.😋

[@therockindoc5453]

iphone 11 when I click on my email acct, in settings, there is no "mail days to sync " option.

[@rachelturner4765]

I dont have the option that says 'mail days to sync' all see is mail, contacts, calendars, reminders, notes and then delete account... its driving me nuts that my phone removes older emails I need and I have to sign into a desktop to view them

[@GozoAya]

Hi. Trying to fix this problem for my sister. However, you don't mention which iPhone model you are referring to, nor which iOs. The options you describe don't appear on her iPhone 7 with iOs 14.5. She uses Gmail.

[@reekar127]

Hi Dave! I don’t have “Mail Days to Sync” on that last menu 🤔. My phone is iPhone 12 Pro. Thanks.

[@damonmcleod5734]

Hi there , have you managed to fix this on your phone I can’t find it either?

[@joeybreezy2815]

Yes this worked perfectly! All my emails where there instantly. Thank you. Great tutorial super quick and to the point. Very easy to follow along with unlike many other you tube videos out there.

Simple fix for a problem that has been driving me crazy at work lately...LOL. Thank you

[@malms8316]

Hi - This doesnt seem to work for Gmail? I can see exchange/outlook as having the option to sync more than a month, but I dont get that on gmail. Any ideas?

[@AnneKoh-ex2ex]

OMG thank you so much, I mean I've never changed this setting to 1 month, I was seeing the emails fine just until few minutes ago and then it changed all of a sudden. I was freaked!! thank you so so much!

[@ewartmatthias6319]

Sadly I don’t have ‘days to sync’ on my iPhone 12.

[@beehappy3150]

Try opening your Apple ID (main or email) settings page, then look in iCloud settings, then scroll to the page bottom-separate and after all the apps, and then look for an unmarked link that says just email to get to the settings page this video refers to. It looks like Apple moved the page so it’s harder to find!

[@ewartmatthias6319]

Sadly still not found.

[@jillwarga513]

I have same problem on iphone 12. Does Dave ever answer the questions here? Really need to get my emails back.

[@ewartmatthias6454]

[@johnnieveight4925]

Why is this not explained simply on apple website, listening to you for 10 seconds has resolved my issue of missing emails, thank you so much, I’ve been hunting for sometime to find an explanation 👍🏻

[@j.k.6048]

SKIP THIS VIDEO IF YOU HAVE IPHONE 11 OR HIGHER .. its pure clickbate

[@lennyortiz1734]

life saver and fast explanation thanks for not making the video 45min long then explaining

[@karaleeblau3042]

I sure wish my iphone 13 had these screens. I all of sudden lost all my emails from my inbox. I only had the two that came that day only! I have been trying to fix this but none of these solutions work because I don't have the same accounts screen that you show. I have no "sync limit" option. I am so frustrated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@darrenphillips2542]

I don't see this option at the bottom?

[@DanThomas1161]

Wonderful, just fixed this problem for my colleague by watching your video. You mad your day.

Thanks! I’ve been having trouble figuring this issue out for years! Thanks again!

[@177BCardinal]

Uh, iOs 15.7 on iPad doesn't have "Mail Days to Sync" where you show so no help to be had here. Unfortunate, I thought Dave might have honed in on a common problem.

[@guyscott8055]

Thanks Dave, your video was the only one that showed me how to show more of my emails on iphone 6 & 7 . Now I can find them all. In my case I travel overseas, sometimes need to pull up an older email to show someone at customs or immigration, it was insanely frustrating to hook up my laptop to do this. Now my phone will do it. Many Thanks !

[@AlIHaveIsImagination]

Thank you! I have folders for tickets and crochet patterns that were just empty, but they are back now!!! 🎉

[@j.k.6048]

This man dropping a video 3 month ago .. but he cant help the people with iphone 11 or higher… should have come with this ‘smart’ idea to post this vid agesss ago…

[@AmerickiZivot]

This option is not available on my iPhone.

My problem is I’m happy to lose most emails after a month, but I’d like to be able to access those I’ve put in personal folders; such as the one’s I call, Holidays, Gig tickets, Theatre tickets etc. Some of these aren’t through booking services on Apps or who send PDF tickets etc. It’s most annoying when I have to access these in laborious other ways?

[@tanniewill1986]

Hi there. Thank you but this is not working for me 😢 I have an iPhone X. I have stored IMPORTANT info in the Archon folder in my email. Today, I reviewed it and ALL my ,ARCHIVED,SAVED, information is gone. I feel sick. Like I said… it’s an iPhone 10 (x). Is there ANY WAY TO RECOVER?! PLEASE?!

Doesn’t work for me. I have no setting for mail days to sync or any reference to syncing or days for any of my mail accounts on either my iPad or my iPhone. And looking for a recent email to answer (last couple of weeks from a group I work with twice a week on Zoom and for which we normally receive one or two messages a week) brings up one email from 4 months ago and one from two years ago. (That’s on iPad - nothing at all on iPhone).
