magic questions

#1 - Is there a way to create backups to the SD card? I saw something when I formatted the phone about restoring from SD, what is that?
#2 - What do you guys have your g-mail sync set to? All? 33 days? Is there a way to set it to sync just like 33 days but then search the archive if I archive things older? If I sync ALL is that going to really slow it down?

Thanks!

#1: yes, you can back-up your data in some way to your SD and then restore it
#2: Don't know if you can search the archive (i suppose not, at least not with the Vodafone-Italy ROM) and sync all may and may not slow down. It depends on how many entries you got into calendar (you were talking about calendar, right?) and how fast is your connection. I use only wi-fi over my ADSL connection so sync takes really few seconds. From the point of view of Android overall speed, i have almost one hundred entries and i've noticed no sensible slow-down.
Hoping this helps.

I was referring to mail actually, not calendar.

Ops... sorry... my misread... On my Magic there isn't any configuration about how many days go behind when syncing email nor i can found any setting on the server. GMail client reads first 10 emails from the server then, when i scroll down, it reads next 10 and so on. If i perform a search it search in all emails on the server.

It is under labels. Primary is 4 days and then there is a day setting for each label there is.

It isn't under notifications. I do the following:

Gmail -> Menu -> Settings -> Labels

The number of days to sync is the "default" (which you customize) but each label (inbox, sent, etc.) can be set to ALL or a custom or the default.

Doh! Really never entered this menu before now... I always thought it was for labels management... also if i don't understand the choice tu put this option in this menu... i need more time to play with my magic
