I transferred data from an iPhone 8 to an 11, but all my old emails disappeared

I transferred my data from an iPhone 8 to an 11. Everything was good except this morning all my old emails disappeared. I can’t search for them either. I get new ones.

My old emails didn't transfer from my iPhone 12 mini to my new iPhone 15 Hi, just got a new iPhone 15 and successfully transferred all apps data etc from my iPhone 12 mini - both running latest iOS. however, the transfer did not copy over the hundreds of old emails on my old phone, all I have are those emails on my email server. Had emails going back to Feb 2023 on old phone, the new phone only has emails from the last couple of weeks. The old emails are still on my old phone - how do I get them onto the new one?? Thanks for your help. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

I updated my iPhone12 to 17.2.1 and all of my emails disappeared I updated my iPhone12 to 17.2.1 and all of my emails disappeared. I restarted (including the one where you hut volume up, vol down, and then long press the side button until the logo appears) and that did nothing. I deleted the two email accounts and re-added them, and that brought some back, but nothing past Monday. Can anyone please advise? TIA! [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Email issue after Restore from backup I upgraded from 11 Pro to the 13 Pro Max. I backed up my 11 pro to icloud and restored the 13 Pro Max from the backup. Everything went great except for my email. On my 11 Pro I had maybe 30 read emails and roughly 10 unread emails. When I opened the email app on the new phone it started downloading messages, it is currently at 3,268 unread messages dating back to 2018. Why is this fetching all these messages that I have previously deleted, and how do I get it to stop? Every time I open the app it fetches more messages.

Hi Canada-,

What is your email provider? What if you login in the browser, do you see them?

If you use iCloud try to log in to https://icloud.com and click Mail. Do you see the missing email?

Let me know!
