You might intentionally or unintentionally delete the JPay messages that are sent by the inmate and you might want to retrieve them when you realize that they are important and you still need them in your inbox. Is there a way to retrieve the JPay messages?
There is no information about it, but the chance of retrieving the deleted JPay messages is close to zero. It would be a loss for you knowing that all the previous messages are no way to be found. Your intention to feel nostalgic by reading the previous emails will be immediately vanished. However, there is nothing that you can do right now, except for reaching out to the customer support, trying to lure them to bring back the deleted messages, which is hard to happen. If you like this idea, the customer support number that you can try is (800) 574-JPAY (5729).
If the JPay messages are suddenly deleted without unknown reason, then there is a possibility of the system or the app to get the error or the glitch or maybe there is something else that causes it. Some people also say that some of the messages are gone because they cannot have more than 200 messages. The ones that are sent and there but the ones that are received are not.
Apparently, the system of JPay has an email storage limit of 200 unread emails and 200 read emails without attachments. If you have more than 200 emails, the rest ones will be automatically removed.
If you have not tried it, you can try to look at your inbox, which is located on the right side of your hand. This one is placed just above the column headings for the inbox items. You should be able to see a link that is named Show Older Letters. You will not be seeing all your emails if you have not clicked on that.
About sending email on JPay
JPay provides the way for the family and friends of the inmates to write electronic letters or emails to them. Due to the fact that inmates do not have access to the internet, the way the email service offered by JPay works is different compared to the regular one. Your loved ones behind the prison will get their email according to a schedule set by their facility, and apparently, the emails are subject to screening and delivery rules that are the same as the ones for the traditional ones.
The perks of JPay emails:
- The quickest way to send message to inmate
- Mail made easy
- Functionality you can use
- Helping you to stay connected

VideoGrams
There is a thing called VideoGram that sets JPay from the other email delivery services. This one is part of the email service of the company. For those who have no idea, VideoGram refers to a recording using a webcam that is attached to your computer. This feature has a limit of 30 seconds so you cannot record as long as you want. After you are done recording, it will be attached to your email that will be sent to the inmate.
