Email IMAP not synching correctly

Having a problem with email on my phone.

Webmail is fine and shows all mails.

In my mail app, a whole load of emails were missing (Shows nothing between 26th Jan and today but can see these in Webmail OK)

 

Installed Outlook on phone and get the same issue.

 

Using standard IMAP settings for ntlworld account (port 993 for incoming) 

 

Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi dobba, 

 

Thanks for posting to the Community, 

 

I am sorry to hear you are having issues accessing your mails via your mobile. 

 

Can you please confirm which handset you are using and if the application is up to date on software?

 

Thanks

Hi  Its a Huawei P30 Pro. System and apps are all up to date.

Hi @dobba, thank you for coming back to us!

Have you tried deleting the account from your email, and re-adding it to see if the emails restore correctly?

If you could please try this and let us know how you get on. 

All the best.

Not all mails. There is a gap between December and March that aren't showing on various apps I've tried. They are showing on webmail

Hi dobba,

Thanks for posting and welcome back to the community!

So sorry for the issues faced, it seems like the email is facing issue synchronising with the apps, can I ask what other mail app you're using before the Outlook?

Also on the apps, are you receiving your latest emails?

Thanks,

Kain

Hi

 

Yes I am receiving latest emails OK

 

Have tried marking all emails as unread in webmail and then read again. Still no joy

 

Have tried outlook and a couple of other andriod mail programs

 

Hi dobba, 

Thanks for coming back to us on this one. 

It may be due to different settings that previous mails have not saved I'm afraid. As they are showing within webmail you can access them there. 

As long as the app is functioning correctly now and going forward. You have confirmed you're receiving new mails now so this would class as a resolution. 

If for any reason, the mails stop coming through again, please pop back and let us know. 

Apologies once again. 

Thanks,
