Change how the BlackBerry Enterprise Server downloads a user's existing email messages onto the BlackBerry device

By default, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server synchronizes the headers of 200 email messages from the previous 5 days to a BlackBerry device when you activate it. If you change the BlackBerry Enterprise Server settings so that it synchronizes the headers and body of messages to a BlackBerry device when you activate it, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server can synchronize up to 3000 messages from the previous 30 days.
