I have an IMAP account with lots of messages (currently around 1300)
I just hard-reset my PocketPC (the reason's not really important), and re-added my IMAP account to Inbox. I set it up to download a full copy of all messages, no attachments.
When I checked my email, it only collected around 260 or so messages.
I checked it again and got a couple hundred more. Check again, another handful. Check again, and again, and again, etc, and eventually it got them all.
But this makes me nervous / curious -- why didn't it just get them all the first time? What if it decides not to download some new piece of email I receive in the future? Can it be trusted?
