Pearson100,
Thanks for your inquiry. The phone should definitely be able to hold more than 7 emails. I just want to have you check a few settings. First, open your Mail, then go to Menu>More>Settings>Receive Settings>Download past mail. Make sure that is the maximum setting. It may be set to only get email for one day. Then go back to your email, to see if it starts automatically refreshing. If not, press Menu>Refresh.
