Re: If I get memory card, will email be stored on it?

Just curious- how does the "freaking" manifest itself?

How *doesn't* the freaking out manifest itself? :-)

Not flashing the alert LED when new email comes in, even
though it's configured to do so. (restarting the phone
usually fixes this)

Prompting me before deleting messages from the list view,
even though it's configured not to do so. (resetting the
configuration option and restarting the phone did not help;
had to wipe the memory)

Disappearing most of the icons displayed under Start >
Settings. (restarting the phone fixes this)

Claiming that there's a notification but refusing to display
it when I hit the Notification soft button or tap on the
notification icon in the title bar. (sometimes this goes away
when the notification is regenerated, e.g., when another new
email message comes in; other times, the phone has to be
restarted)

Telling me that I'm low on memory and I need to stop running
programs, but then refusing to let me launch Start > Settings
so I can't actually get to the Memory settings to do that
(and, in any case, I don't think there are actually any
running programs other than mail). (need to restart the phone
to fix this)

Not showing any installed programs when I go to Start >
Settings > System > Remove Programs, even though several
programs are installed. (restarting the phone fixes this).

Hanging. (need to hit the reset button to fix this --
power-cycling doesn't work)

All of these problems except for the unwanted prompting about
deleting messages have happened in the few days since the
last time I wiped the phone memory. There are probably other
problems I'm forgetting to mention.

Oh, and don't even get me started about how completely broken
the notifications queue and alarm clock application are,
although that may be just general breakage that isn't related
to mail filling up my memory.

The storage card still might help, however ; you could move some documents
or reinstall some 3rd-party applications to the card, freeing up memory, or
install a 3rd-party mail client that stores mail on the card.

The only third-party applications I've got installed are
SKTools and Google Maps. I doubt they take up a lot of
memory, so I doubt that moving them to a storage card would
make a difference.

In my case, I use QMail in conjunction with the built-in messaging app-
QMail stores e-mail wherever you want, so I keep my entire IMAP folder
structure for multiple accounts on the storage card with QMail, and use the
built-in messaging app for quick access to recent (last 5 days) mail.

I only keep three days of email on my phone, and I don't want
to have to use one application to access Outlook and another
to access my IMAP mailbox.

Thanks for the response. I'm afraid it does not inspire
confidence in me that I will be able to significantly improve
the situation...
