[Logicmail-users] Minimizing device cache data and locally deleted messages

[Tim C <ti...@sy...>]

I am having a problem managing both my LogicMail mailbox and my server side mailbox.



It seems that when I download messages from the server, LogicMail grabs 
the oldest "n" messages.  I now have LogicMail set to download 500 
messages (the max), but the mailbox I am working with now has over 500 
messages.  What this means is that I only get the oldest 500, and none 
of my recent messages are being downloaded.  I don't want to delete these on the server, but don't care if they expire from my device.



I know that there is a ticket (#350) which requests local deletion 
without server side deletion.  If I could delete a local copy of the 
message, I could work around the above.  Judging by the ticket, this would create 
significant internal synchronization problems between LM (which would 
have to know which server side messages to ignore) and the server.



How about if the messages downloaded was only the most recent "n" 
messages, instead of the first ones?  Not sure about IMAP, but based on 
my work with GetMail years ago, POP easily supports this.  Based on a 
cursory look at how LogicMail works, it seems that this kind of 
implementation would result in LM automatically expiring the oldest 
messages locally so that it keeps the newest "n" messages.



Thanks,

Tim
