[k-9-mail] Initial fetch of a largish gmail. account

[Tomas Hnyk]

Hello,
I would like to start using K-9. I would also like to have all my mail
locally. I have a Gmail account with around 70 000 e-mails/10GB of data. I
have tried uninstalling and re-installing K-9 several times but it always
crashes when I set it to fetch all messages with not time limit (I set the
maximum size limit to 32kB). After it crashes, it just won't load more old
mail and stops wherever it got. The farthest I got was to a time year ago,
I need to go back 12 years. Any idea why it might be crashing (and why it
does not recover from it?)
Any ideas what might be wrong? I set polling to never and push only
first-class folders. Should I use poll instead? Does anybody use k-9 with
as large accounts that is downloaded locally? Is K-9 fast then? Is there
anything that needs to be changed with Android settings?
Kind regards,
Tomas Hnyk

I experience the same issue.

I limited download to 2000 emails, which works.

Whenever I try to delete a big amount of emails from my bin, K-9 crashes.

I always have to do this via webinterface.

K-9 obviously can't deal great amounts of emails.

I am using a Sony Expedia Z5 Premium with 4 GB of RAM.

I see others mentioned K-9 Email having problems handling such large
quantities (both mails and data).

I've used Thunderbird and MS Outlook. But the only mail client I've used
that could handle those volumes of email/data is Pegasus Mail for
Windows. Pegasus is free.

I used Pegasus for many, many years until I stopped using Windows, and
heartily recommend it for anyone who needs a serious mail client on Windows.

Personally, I am still using M2, the mail client integrated in the browser
Opera 12. It has not been updated in five years, but still work great and
superfast (on a SSD disk).

AS for Android alternatives, I have not fonud anything that would allow me
to download all e-mail.so I am back to K-9 and limiting the number of
e-mails I carry with me offline.
