Mail app

I use Mail to access my Gmail account. By accident recently, I found that it appears I can't search for all my Gmail messages when using Mail. Accessing my Gmail account through a browser does restore access to all my saved messages. Why ?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13

Regarding MAIL with gmail account I have added my gmail account to MAIL option lately I notice that though I have no unread messages the All mail option still shows me unread messages. I have tried all options such as downloading the Gmail APP and syncing without delay, deleting and reseting the account to no avail it still shows me messages unread when I select the unread mail option it shows me none. Is this a problem with syncing with gmail ? I cant find any option to sync in the MAIL section. Below topics do not provide the option of MAIL.

Mail app is only syncing 3000 emails The Mail app for my iPad and iPhone is only syncing a total of 3000 messages from my gmail account. Strangely it syncs a handful of the most recent emails but the bulk of the 3000 are from 10 or more years ago. There is no issue with the Mail app on my MacBook Pro - on the laptop all messages are synced. There is also no issue with the Gmail app on the iPad or iPhone, which syncs all messages correctly. All software is up to date. I have tried deleting/re-adding the account multiple times. Each time only 3000 messages sync. Is there a way to make the iPad/iPhone Mail app sync all messages? Is this a bug in the new iOS?
