Mail seems to stop downloading when the phone locks, and I do not see anywhere where I can set all messages to be downloaded instead of just the last 3000.
This transition has not been smooth, and tech support reps seem shocked when we express disappointment at the removal of a key service feature. It seems they've been told to tell us that email was just a "perk" or "bonus" of signing up for Cox Cable Internet.
