Brenda, did you download all 1500? I agree with you. If you have the disk
space, it shouldn't matter. I don't know where the guy in tech support came
up with the rule to download 50 at a time. In the end, you are still going
to have 300 email in the database. Why should it matter whether you
download them all at once or in chunks?
With 6.1, you can specify that your flash card is used for email; so memory
or disk space isn't a problem any more.

No, the number of emails shouldn't count. If you have the space on your
disk, they should come. Some days I've downloaded over 400 emails. The
first time I went on I had 1500 emails.
