Tap the “Preview” option in the “Message List” section.įinally, select the number of lines you want to display. Head into Settings and then tap the “Mail” option. Shorter previews let you see more messages on the screen at once. Longer previews let you see what messages are about without opening them. If you receive a lot of emails, you may also want to control how much of a message you see as a preview within the Mail app. You can choose whether to see icon badges, notifications on the Lock screen, and hear alert sounds when an email arrives.

Make sure that the “Allow Notifications” switch is turned on (if you want notifications), and then choose how you would like notifications to arrive. Open Settings and tap “Notifications” to see a list of the installed apps that support notifications. You manage all iPhone and iPad notifications in the Settings app, and push notifications are no different. These will differ depending on the type of account involved but are all self-explanatory along the way. Tap the type of account you need to add and follow the authentication prompts. You’ll then see a list of popular account types, as well as an “Other” option for anyone with a specialized setup. If you’d like to add a new account, tap the “Add Account” button. Anything that can support email, calendars, and notes appear on this list. Those include any Google, Exchange, or Microsoft accounts, as well as your iCloud account. Here, you’ll see a list of all of the accounts on your device.

Open Settings app and select “Passwords & Accounts.” For instance, in Mail on Mac, look in Preferences, Accounts, (Account), Mailbox Behaviors.Managing, adding, and removing email accounts on an iPhone or iPad happens in the Settings app instead of the Mail app.


Maybe check your settings on the various devices to see if you see anything unusual. So if you are using iCloud's email servers, I'm not sure why you aren't seeing the email delete. But if you mean you are using iCloud to simply sync your settings, and actually using another email service, then you may see each Mail app acting independently. So when you say you are using iCloud mail, are you using an, Mac.com or Me.com email address? If so, then you should see the email delete across your devices as the iCloud server is updated. However, if you are using older email, like POP or ISP email, then you won't see that as all Mail apps will download all email separately and manage them as files on the local drive, independent of the server. If you delete a message, it deletes it on the server and all of your devices should update to show what the server has. If you are using modern email (IMAP/Gmail/iCloud) then your Mail apps on your devices are showing you a reflection of what is on the server. But it depends on which email service you are using.
