Good afternoon fellow MacRumor members.
I use my iPhone for POP mail and I have recently moved to a new mail host.
My old setup was:
POP incoming: mail.mydomain.com
SMTP: mail.mydomain.com
name@mydomain.com
When I viewed my inbox on my iPhone I had all of my old emails available to me to search and browse. Yesterday I moved to a new mail server. So I updated my mail account on my iPhone with the new information:
POP Incoming: mail.newprovider.com
SMTP: mail.newprovider.com
name@mydomain.com
However, after this update, all of a sudden all of my emails in my inbox on my iPhone have disappeared. I have no idea where they went. All I did was change my account password, POP server and SMTP server. Nothing else was changed, I did not delete the mails off my phone or anything.
Does anyone know what could have caused all of my old emails to disappear from my iPhone inbox?
Edit: Few questions for the iPhone experts
1. Does iPhone locally store all old messages? Ie; are my old emails stored in my phone, just simply not visible due to the settings change?
2. If the above is true, is it possible to make the old locally stored messages visible in my new inbox?
