Rob, I
I am having EXACTLY the same problem. I've got the AT&T Tilt and I
can download all my mail just fine to start with, but, as soon as I do
another send/receive random messages dissapear from my mobile inbox,
although they stay in the gmail inbox on the actual website.
Curious... I sure hope gmail fixes this problem. I've got a Yahoo
account as well which does NOT do this at all. Well, hope they come
up with a solution!
Cheers!
Ian

Well for free with gmail what can we expect ;-) Seriously though, whilst
their POP3 implementation is pretty non-standard, they do have a workaround.
Simply prefix your username in POP3 configuration with "recent:" and it
brings down the last 30 days (or however many days you have it configured
for). So my POP3 username is recent:barney.rubble(a)gmail.com. Works well for
me.

Cheers, Rob.

Hi Rob,

What about storing the emails on the memory card? Is there a setting
to redirect email messages storage?

Did you ever find a resolution for this? Its such a weird problem with
half the emails coming through and half disappearing, i couldn't even
find a good way to phrase a question on the boards...

I've not looked but as I only keep 6 days on my phone it's not an issue.
It's not my main email storage device - just handy to see it when it comes
in.

If I do need access to an old email, I can simply logon to gmail and look in
the archive. I like that feature and don't care too much about Google having
access to all my old email :-)

Cheers, Rob.
