Nokia Messaging memory usage

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Nokia Messaging the defacto Nokia email client is a great application that has been tarnished with a few hiccups here and there like low memory, not syncing at times, etc.

Over at the official Nokia Forum, David Fields the person in charge of this applications share with us some the points on these matters and also open the floor to suggestions. Read below.

Hello,

Couple of points related to Nokia Messaging memory usage. Nokia Messaging stores, by default, 2kb of each message on the device. Even if you have hundreds of emails, they don’t take up much space until you start getting into attachments.

The deleted items folder in Nokia Messaging does not clear itself automatically in this release, so if you’ve been deleting a lot of emails on the device and are encountering issues with memory, go into that folder and choose options to empty it.

We are investigating the memory consumption on the N97 with Nokia Messaging, as some of you have reported. The reason we don’t offer message storage on the memory card is that removing of the memory card with the messages stored on there could cause some serious issues with correctly syncing your email.

We do hear you on the calls for storage somewhere other than the C drive. The amount of space that the emails should take up on your device is minimal, but we are open to feedback and fixing problems as they arise.
