Guest jimbouk Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Quick answer : NO pim.vol is a hidden file, it contains all your emails/contacts/calendar items syncd with either outlook or exchange and you dont want to move it. You can save email attachments to your storage card - and you can limit the amount of email you sync (by date and size). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Neil5459 Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 You may need to look for other reasons for memory loss. You need a huge number of entries in pim.vol for it to get big enough to interfere. As jimbouk says- limit the amount of info downloaded and store attachments on the storage card. Next thing is to make sure you flush the temporary internet files regularly. These are not removed automatically and there is no way to limit their size- they just grow and grow. Open PIE, and go to Options/Memory/Delete Files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bonaventura Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 paging jim a neil... after a while tinkering with the outlook mobile i finally figure out how it works. size/location of the msg is not configurable, however i can roughly limit the size simply by selecting the period to download (past day,2 days, week etc) and what (header only, first 0.5k etc). much appreciate your help guys :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Confucious Posted January 1, 2008 Report Share Posted January 1, 2008 The other thing you can do is store your temporary internet files on your memory card because, like neil5459 says they just grow and grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
