Synchronizing Conversations
The Gmail webmail service has the resources to store all the messages you've ever sent or
received; your device does not. To save space, Gmail downloads only some of your messages
to your device. Use the Settings application to control how and when applications synchronize
their data. (See
Synchronizing Accounts
.)
To select which conversations to synchronize:
1. Tap
>
>
Gmail
.
2. Tap

>
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. Tap a conversation label whose synchronization settings you want to change. Choose
from the following options:
Sync none
: Don't download any conversations that only have this label.
Sync 4 days
: Download the previous four days (or number of days you set) of
conversations.
