blackberry downloading old emails

[Paul]

My blackberry bold has suddenly started downloading loads of old emails, normally when a new one is being received. Getting very annoying, any ideas to stop this?

Nope. Mine has done that a few times. Hundreds of old mails arrived. Let it do its thing then pick a date and select 'delete prior' at the insertion point.

It's very annoying.

I have heard of this happening with gmail to Blackberries. The usual fix was to go to Blackberry Internet Service via your operator, delete the account you are getting gyp from, leave it for a while [say an hour] and then set the account back up.

hi my gmail account started doing that over the weekend all i did was went into bis and deleted my gmail account left it for about an hour and reset the account back up and for me problem was cured.

However this link has a pretty good explanation of what is happening and how to fix without deleting.
