Email question

[Evil Harb]

Hi folks

finally got my xda orbit the other day - lving it so far - and have managed to get the email sorted out. I sent myself a few test emails last night but upon receiving a new email it seems to delete the previous one(s). My question - to the more experienced users out there - is this: is there a setting or something I can do on the xda so doesn't delete previous emails when a new one comes through?

I apologise if I asked something already chatted about but I've been trying to find out about this problem all day.

Thanks in advance for any help! :)

When you set up a mail account, you get to choose how many days worth of email you want to download; if you chose "Today" then that probably explains why last night's test messages got deleted when you sent yourself new mail today........

You can change this behaviour, but be careful how much you choose to keep unless you've got a storage card!!

Go to the email Inbox, select Menu | Tools | Options, then tap on the required email account; tap Next five times until you get to a screen with "Automatic Send/Receive" and "Download messages" on - the bottom box shows how many days worth of email you're currently storing....change it to whatever your heart desires, hit Next and then Finish :D

Hope that helps,

Mark.

Heh - that may have been it, but I was getting (last night anyway) emails and then immeddiately (as in seconds later) I was sending a second one and the previously received one vanished. I've set it so that it downloads ALL messages - not sure if I should have it set for entire message or just headers yet...I'll see how that goes. I do have a storage card though so i'd certainly save messages to that - maybe (not sure if I can do this) I can create a folder on it and direct messages to get moved/saved there? No idea how that's done though :)

But thanks for the help - if you have any other tips let me know...I love this xda :) Going to look for mods for it...apparently there's some nice HTC themed ones out there :)

EDIT* This is annoying me a bit now...I just did a fresh check for emails (had 2 I received not 5 mins ago), there weren't any new ones but now those previous 2 have disappeared from my inbox list - what is going on with this thing? I can't keep losing these emails.
