Some Results May Not Appear in iOS 18 Mail

Ever since upgrading to iOS 18, I’m getting very limited search results (1 or 2 recent emails) - and the following error in the iPhone mail app:

“Some Results May Not Appear

Mail downloads and organizes messages when iPhone is locked, charging, and connected to Wi-Fi. Large accounts like this may take longer.”

My mail app archive is sizable but it’s been a couple weeks since upgrading - and the message still appears.

I’ve seen a few similar threads for earlier iOS versions but nothing for iOS 18 nor this specific wording.

I hate that. What is the point of being able to check your email on a cell phone if the mail only downloads when the device is home, locked, and charging?

Apple needs to fix this NOW. RIP Steve Jobs rolling in his grave on this one. Major UI fail!!

my older emails are inaccessible and I just get this message when I’m at home and on WiFi but how am I suppose to search when phone is locked?

This post 24.11.24 (australian time), 6 weeks at least since this thread started, and no response from Apple. Our collective inability to do such a basic thing is clearly not bothering them too much...
