I got two questions related to the standard e-mail app in Xperia S. If below issues can't be resolved, maybe someone can suggest another e-mail app that I can use?


1. When I download e-mails with attachments, will the attachments be downloaded at the same time as well, or will they be downloaded later (for example, when I chose to open them). I can't find any settings regarding this and the reason I want to know is because I don't want to download attachments unless I have to when I'm abroad (due to high roaming costs).

2. My e-mail server is set to store e-mails for 3 months, so there will always be plenty of e-mails to download if I haven't updated the phone inbox for a while (I've set it to update manually because usually I don't need to use the phone for e-mailing). Hence, when checking the e-mail on my phone I'm typically only interested in checking, say, the last 2-24 hours worth of inbox. Is there some way to limit how old e-mails I want to download?

Me and tons of people who use the device in a profi way for something.
If I want to find something I look through my inbox, not last 25 emails only.
My Xperia has 32GB memory, plenty of space.
I have all of my emails on device, of course some of it only headers or part of it unless I download the whole thing.
I am the customer and I decide what I have on my device.

Every other device allows to sync what you want.

Check XDA, you'll know. Unknown13x also mentioned it today in the hayabusa thread.

Standard Xperia email app works well but has idiotic limitation, which makes the programme store ONLY 25 emails on the device. So even if you'll store 300 mails on the phone, on the next session everything will be deleted and only 25 mails will stay. Terrible.

Attachements will not be downloaded unless you'll click the specific email to see it.

I used ProfiMail previously, but it just doesn't work on Xperia S. They say they work on a complete revamp of the app,
it was brilliant in the past.

But now I have K-9 mail and it's just great.

Thanks. So, basically, since they are always hundreds of e-mails on the server, if I update my e-mail in the phone it will download them all, and then if I close the e-mail app it will delete all but 25 and then when I reopen the app it will once again download all those e-mails?

No it won't. What I'm saying it always keeps THE LAST 25 emails on device and wipes off your phone everything more,
even if you download more, it will wipe it off the phone. Of course, not from the server (until you perform delete of course)

I, for one, would definitely want to be able to store more than 25 e-mails.

I hope this gets fixed in an update. ICS, even.

Doministry, I like your night Straszydło:) photo. But still feel that it will only be in 2013 ehen we actually see some progress in camera dept. form sony. Iso 50 daytime shots aren't good. So much detail is lost:( I understand for such tiny sensors those iso 200+ shots must be either noisy or have strong nr, but for iso 50 shots it's not that good.
