How do I change the number of emails on display in my inbox on my Samsung Galaxy device?

Your email app shows the most recent emails for your device. However, you can choose to set it to show emails for the last few weeks, months or for all time. Note that the longer time period you set it for, the more storage space your device will use as it will need to store more emails. Follow the below steps to change how many emails are shown:
1 From the home screen choose Apps or swipe up to access your apps.
