Quoting Jacek Osiecki joshua@hybrid.pl:
No, the only thing I need is to simulate an Exchange server, so
iPhone would be able to retrieve all emails instead of "last 200
from INBOX" :)
Basically he is complaining that when you select "other" as the e-mail server type, it only allows you to BY DEFAULT see the 50/100/150/200 most recent messages in a folder. He noticed that when you select "Exchange" instead of "other" this limit isn't there (it is then actually controlled by exchange, and not the iphone).
This is simply an "iphone" feature...
Surely he can try the other options (gmail, exchange, etc) and see if he can get any to work with his server, but that is not something I am interested in.
Now, as a possible work around, if the user doesn't have too much mail. Scroll to the bottom of the 200 messages, and you will see at the end it says "Load More Messages... N messages total, M unread" where N and M are your message counts. Assuming those numbers are small, you can just keep activating that until you have them all. This would be fine if you have a hundreds of messages, or maybe a thousand or so. You wouldn't really want to do this if you have several thousand though.
If that doesn't meet your needs, contact Apple, as this is purely an Apple/iPhone UI issue, and not a mail server issue...
