Tap mailbox.
Tap message.
To preview more of each message in the mailbox list, go to Settings >
Mail, Contacts, Calendars; tap the Preview button; and choose up to
five visible lines of text.
Although you may have hundreds (or thousands!) of messages in a
mailbox, Mail keeps the list trim by showing only the 50 most recent
items. To view up to 200 messages, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars
and tap the Show button. You're given the choice of viewing 25, 50, 75, 100, or
200 recent messages in any given account.
Although email isn't the most effective delivery mechanism for sending
files, people frequently attach documents to messages. Mail on the iPad
does a good job of handling most common types of files you're likely
to encounter, such as images, PDF files, and Microsoft Word documents,
among others.
