I am trying to do something complicated but I can't find the way.
I have all my mail divided into folders inside outlook on my pc.
Something like thi:
+ Inbox
- Al
- John
- Jack
- ...

I managed to sync all the folders with my pda, but for obvious storage reasons I can't sync ALL my mail.
What I wish to do is sync the last 10 mail from each folder.
The only option I have is to sync the last 5 days, so let's say John doesn't send me mail for a week, I don't have anything in his folder. This is bad because I would like to be able to check all the time the last message for everybody.

Can anybody give me an idea of how heavy will it will be an average email message? If I sync 1000 email, how much storage it will take (with no attachments)? Is there a way to store it on a memory card?

Sorry if some of these questions have been already asked.

The more you have, the more you COULD give.
The less you have, the more you give.

E-mails are examined by ActiveSync in date order. So, if you have it set to sync the last 1 week of e-mails, you'll get the absolute latest week's worth of e-mails, regardless of which folder they went in, subject to any storage limits. You can, though, have e-mail attachments stored on a card (not the e-mails themselves, though) to save space. Or, you can configure ActiveSync to limit how much of each e-mail is sync'd, and you can have AS simply not pull down the attachments unless you click on the "download attachment" icon for the particular e-mail.

The average size of an email would depend on the average length of your emails too. So how "chatty" your friends are. Typically you'd be looking at bytes, not Megabytes for a text only email without attachments. Very little space.

Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.
