Email config - Email to retrieve missing options

0 replies · 1,964 views · Started 23 April 2008

I'm trying to setup my gmail account with Imap on the email client on an e90.

When I go into Retrieval settings --> Email to retrieve , the only option I have is 'Headers only'. I read around a bit and believe I should be having an option to download by size as well as a 3rd option. I'm not sure why they are missing.

Edit: I found that this headers only option is the only one available in IMAP. The rest are only available on the POP3 option.

Also when I set Automatic Retrieval to automatically retrieve email (not notifications), the data connection stays active and not disconnect after retrieval like one would expect. I've set Packet data connection to 'When Needed'.
Is that how the client has been designed or have I overlooked something.
