Store all email on phone?

[Xgm541]

I just set my phone to push ALL email on my accounts rather than the last 3 days. Does anyone do this? I think this would be beneficial to someone looking to search for something without having to connect to the exchange server which can be fairly slow.

Any opinions?

I have all my email pushed, but it's from iCloud email. I also created various storage folders in the account, so those emails I need to save can be "moved" to those folders. They refresh each time I open them, so the current content is displayed. I try to keep the in and sent boxes pretty clean so I can tell when a new email comes in.

Does anyone do this?

Yup.

Any opinions?

As always, do what works for you. Not everyone's email account is the same.

This would take far too much space on my phone so I don't do this.

I tried to have it sync everything, but as far as mail is concerned I am a hoarder so the thousands of messages being stored on my phone made searching them impossible, the phone would literally lock up. 3 days of sync time it is...

Thanks for the replies, guys.

My Inbox is 6GB at work, that is not including subfolders.

I do not think I want all that on my phone, search is instant on my exchange server...
