You said keeping a bunch of emails, even if I had unlimited hard drive space, will hurt performance. So what is a good rule of thumb to keep my email amount to? Like only keep 50 max, or is 200 max ok? Or is it all about the size of all the emails? I'm just going to tweak the settings to only keep the last few days worth, and if I ever need something from a year ago, I can just sync up that folder to pull ALL the emails from all time.
Also, do you think that it takes up memory(RAM), by having the email set to send/receive during the day? I am tempted to make it manual to free up RAM. Or maybe make it send/receive just once a day, and then I can do it manually whenever I need to. So do you think having it setup to do it multiple times during the day takes a lot of RAM? I would think it takes some since it has to remember to download emails all day. |
The performance lag has to do with storing email on the storage card not how many emails (all though if you store too many emails on internal storage it will hurt more cause you will have no space)
The best way to pull an email from a year ago that you need is either to use the search function, use a java emulator and the gmail app, or to use mail.google.com - you phone does have a browser
Having email just automatically will effect RAM but not much. The larger effect will be on battery life. I would set it based on how often you need to get email
