Where are my old emails?

[kimrod7]

Have the original iPad, 64g ... I had a few emails I was saving and now they re no longer in my "inbox" ... I did not delete them. How do I get them back? Where did they go?

Welcome to iPF! At a glance without more information it sounds like your e-mail carrier deleted them, or you deleted them via computer and internet. All e-mail sync functions go both ways, therefore if you sync to a gmail acct. for instance when you are in gmail on the web and delete a mail the sync will cause it to be deleted also in the iPad and vise versa
Hope this helps

Thank you for responding. Here's a bit more info ... My email carrier is cox communication. We have a desk top and I have an iPad. I haven't done any "syncing" lately or deleting from either the desk top or iPad. Will they get automatically deleted for any reason? The only deleting I did was "junk" mail from my inbox on the iPad only. Is it possible to get them back? Thank you for any advice

Check the settings for your individual iPad email accounts and see whether you have incoming mail set to auto delete after a certain number of days.

Go to the iPad settings, and into mail, click on the email address you're having problems with. Now see if there is a "Days to Sync" option at the bottom. Default is set to 3 days, but you can set it to "no limit". This was the problem with mine, hopefully it fixes yours.
