Why is my e-mail adding extremely old e-mails to my phone?

I have a motorola turbo. I have had it since December 2014. When I delete e-mails from my in-box, it loads e-mails that are from before I even had a smart phone. There is a "load more" button at the end of the e-mails in the in-box. I DO NOT push it. It still adds e-mails. Currently we are back to January 2014. How can I stop this? It is very frustrating to see I have 30 unread e-mails. I have looked through settings, and don't see a way to disable this feature.

Welcome to Android Central! Who's your email provider? If you're using their POP3 server, I would recommend changing to the IMAP server, which would probably prevent these kinds of issues. Read more about the difference between POP3 and IMAP here: IMAP vs POP3
