out of memory (large inbox) #13

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. make sure your inbox contains more than 16MB of emails, preferably most 
messages less than 100 KB
2. try to load your inbox in exchangeit
3. after trying for a while, you should get an error like "process closed 
unexpectedly". review of logcat output (from sdk) should show out of 
memory error, android allows no more than 16MB for a process I believe.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- Would be good if the app could at least catch the out of memory error 
when trying to download messages and display an error on the phone screen 
about the problem. Maybe encourage the user to make sure the folder has a 
small number of messages and much less than 16MB before using exchangeit 
on it.
- Even better would be a setting to download only the x most recent 
messages and possibly only the message headers to save space?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
exchangeit version 0.6 on Android 1.0 TC4-RC30 (T-Mobile G1)

Please provide any additional information below.
- I was able to workaround the problem by clearing out all messages but 
the current day from my inbox (in outlook before trying exchangeit again). 
This kept the memory usage below 16MB.
