Synchronizing your messages
The Gmail webmail service has enormous resources for storing your messages;
your phone does not. Gmail only downloads some of your messages to your phone,
to save space. You can set which conversations are kept current on your phone, by
label, and what portion of those conversations, by time.
You use the Settings application to control how and when applications synchronize
their data. See “Accounts & sync settings” on page 268.
To select which conversations to synchronize
1 Open your Inbox.
2 Press MENU and touch
Settings
>
Labels
.
The Label synchronization settings screen opens, with a scrolling list of your
Gmail labels. Below each label is its current synchronization setting:
Sync all
,
Sync 4 days
, or no label (conversations with that label are not synchronized).
3 Touch a conversation label whose synchronization settings you want to change.
A dialog 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 (or number of days you set) of
conversations
Sync all
Download all conversations with this label
