Synchronizing Your Messages
The Gmail webmail service has the resources to store all the
messages you've ever sent or received; your phone does not. To
save space, Gmail downloads only some of your messages to your
phone. Use the
Settings
application to control how and when
applications synchronize their data. See
“
Accounts & sync
”
on page
251.
To select which conversations to synchronize
1. From the Home screen, touch
Gmail
.
2. Press the
Menu Key
and touch
Settings > Labels
.
The Synchronization settings screen opens, displaying a list
of your Gmail labels. Below each label is its current
synchronization setting:
Sync all
,
Sync 4 days
, or with no
label. (Conversations with no label are not synchronized.)
3. Touch a conversation label whose synchronization settings
you want to change.
A dialog box for that conversation label opens, with three
options:
●
Sync none
Don't download any conversations that have
only this label.
●
Sync 4 days
Download the previous 4 days (or number of
days you set) of conversations.
●
Sync all
Download all conversations with this label.
