How to manage mail download limit on ios 11

The pesky mail download limit on iOS 11!

By default, iOS 11 has a limit on the number of emails you can download at one time. This is to prevent your device from getting overwhelmed with too many emails and to help conserve battery life. However, this limit can be frustrating if you need to access a large number of emails.

Here are a few ways to manage the mail download limit on iOS 11:

  1. Increase the download limit: Go to Settings > Mail > Accounts > [Your Account] > Fetch New Data. Tap on "Maximum number of messages to download" and select a higher number. You can choose from 25, 50, 100, 200, or 500 messages.
  2. Use a different fetch schedule: Instead of downloading all emails at once, you can set a fetch schedule to download emails at regular intervals. Go to Settings > Mail > Accounts > [Your Account] > Fetch New Data. Tap on "Fetch Schedule" and select a schedule that suits your needs, such as "Every 15 minutes" or "Every hour".
  3. Use the "Load More" feature: If you're using the Mail app, you can use the "Load More" feature to download more emails in batches. To do this, open the Mail app, swipe down to refresh the inbox, and then tap on "Load More" at the bottom of the screen.
  4. Use a third-party email client: If you're not satisfied with the default Mail app, you can try using a third-party email client like Microsoft Outlook, Google Inbox, or Spark. These apps may have more flexible settings for managing email downloads.
  5. Disable email syncing: If you're not planning to access your emails on your iOS device for an extended period, you can disable email syncing to conserve battery life and data. Go to Settings > Mail > Accounts > [Your Account] > Fetch New Data and toggle off "Fetch".

By using one or more of these methods, you should be able to manage the mail download limit on your iOS 11 device and access your emails more efficiently.
