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 Sync none (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.
