For some unknown reason my messages in my inbox have disappeared and are only listing up to July 2023.

Any idea how do I retrieve the current ones please?

Do you read your emails in a programme, such as Thunderbird, Safari, or Windows Mail?

If so, it might be worth looking at the server, eg GMail, Hotmail, etc. and seeing whether they show there.

Good luck

Are you near the storage limit on your device?
I was recently, and have had to go back to delete 100s of older ones to free up more space.
I also deleted some photos and the many messages in unimportant WhatsApp groups.
Once I'd done that the emails started reappearing.

I also unsubscribed from a lot of senders/junk emails and I don't get so many in the first place now.

I realised that instead of actually deleting emails previously, I'd just swiped right on them which may have removed them from my inbox but they were still clogging up the system.

Do you mean your Gransnet Inbox, FishandChips15? That seems to be what happens to messages for some unknown reason. Sometimes it says they have been removed at the request of the sender, but that doesn't seem always to be true.

If it is your GN inbox you’re meaning, I’m afraid I don’t know how, or even if, you can get the messages back.
