Hi

Nokia Messaging on my N900 is only showing the last 100 e-mails from my Gmail account.

Is there any way I can increase this?

Thanks

Not that I know, but you can download the next 100 mails from the menu IIRC.

Thanks but I can't seen that option in any menu

Nokia Messaging only shows the last month worth of emails. So after a month it self delete from your phone but not the email server.

Thanks....but its only showing 100 messages from yesterday and today (even though there are plenty more from this month on the Google server!)

Unfortunately that's the limitation on Nokia Messaging service as a whole for now. Reference here 2010 Winter Update

I wish Nokia make the duration of history confiugrable... it was configurable in the early 2009 but then got shrunk to 3-day around Sep 2009 then to 100 mails in Feb 2010.

As I commented back then on the Nokia Messaging blog post, the irony of this limitation is that whenever you delete one of your 100 emails, then it downloads again email #101 which it just deleted - what a waste! Especially annoying when that older email was unread, so you end up being notified twice.

All this said, I tried configuring my gmail account directly within the email client, but it would not be half as reliable as Nokia Messaging. If only they allowed users to:
- choose how many emails / days worth of emails to keep on the device
- choose whether to automatically download pictures & attachments

But they don't seem to be receptive - and given it's a server-based service, and not a software for the N900, it's harder to push the issue to the developers...

Thanks for the info!
