Default How does the gmail app work?

How does the default gmail app on Desire work? Does it download the mails to my phone, taking up phone space or SD space? Or are they only accessed through the net? Also the app doesn't seem to care about what setting i set under: POP Download under my gmail account, where you can alter what mails should be downloaded and such.

you decide. you can tell it to download the headers for x days, or grab the full emails for x days.

Only options i know of that may have something to do with what you mentioned is Labels under settings, in there i can choose "number of days to sync" and which label i want to sync. But even if i set my Inbox to say 4 days, i can still scroll further down and get mails that is over a month old.

Are you connected to internet while doing that ? If yes, the app might load the mails on-the-fly ...

What do you mean when "space is approx"?


Edit: Anyway, it looks like the default gmail app is directly connected to the account or something, as changes i do in the gmail app, also happens at gmail.com, even though i've said to "keep Gmails copy in inbox" it looks to move them if i click delete or archive in the gmail app.
