Archiving 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 menu to control how and when
applications synchronize their data. (See Synchronizing Accounts on page 153).
To select which conversations to synchronize:
1. Press > >
Gmail
.
2. Press >
More
>
Settings
> tap your account >
Sync inboxes and labels
.
The Synchronization settings screen opens, displaying a list of your Gmail
labels. Below each label is its current synchronization setting:
Sync all, Sync
last 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 last 4 days
: Download the previous 4 days (or number of days you
set) of conversations.
●
Sync all
: Download all conversations with this label.
