I allowed the inbox of my gmail a/c to build up to 1000+ msg on my mobile. This swamped my mobile's msg folder. I tried deleting them but more kept pouring in. It was also blocking txt msgs from being received. I wasn't getting anywhere, so I uninstalled gmail, but it left my message store full to the brim.
I deleted all my old msgs on my laptop and tried the refresh buutton on my mobile, but eventually gmail simply ceased to load. It felt as if both the program and the messages were allocated to the same finite block of memory.
I am now unable to reinstall gmail because I keep getting the "insufficient memory" warning. What is really annoying is that for some time my mobile has been saying that the memory was getting low, but without saying where or what I was supposed to do about it. When I repeatedly checked both the card and phone memories, they both had sufficient memories. I had no indication from the phone or within gmail that is was exhausting my memory.
I feels as if gmail has behaved almost parasitically, using every available bit of memory until the gmail program itself became unusable. Gmail didn't seem to leave itself any safety margin. This is not a great design!
How can I clear my phone's memory and get going again please?
Many thanks Chris Moyler
