Folder synchronization threshold (messages in
folder) |
Up to this number of emails, these items are parsed and
synchronized. When number of emails exceeds this number, synchronization
is based on Outlook information about items that need to be synchronized
(i. e. have been changed). If there are many messages, Outlook Sync does
not loop over all messages but deals with a change report provided by
Outlook. Because Outlook sometimes does not inform about the changes, 100%
functionality is guaranteed only if we loop over all emails. |
Threshold for full download (MB) |
Up to this email size (in megabytes), whole emails
are downloaded. When email size exceeds this number, only email headers
are downloaded. Whole emails are downloaded in the moment they are clicked
(to open them). |

Synchronize content of the selected folders

after performing (and saving) any change - e.g.: after creating a new
contact, event, etc. |
