apps using up memory

RAH · 05-08-2011, 08:20 AM

I am considering adding the Pulse News app to my Color Nook, but I am concerned about the memory it might take up. I don't mean the app itself, but I mean about how much storage it will use up as time goes on and more and more feeds start to accumulate.

I am also wondering about this same issue with the built-in email app. I notice that when you delete an email, it goes to Trash. Trash seems to build up itself over time, and it almost seems that you have to go in and redelete stuff from Trash just to really get rid of it. It can be a real pain because you have to mark every damn item individually - there doesn't appear to be a "choose all" function.

Anyone know how to automate the deletion of Trash in the email app, and also anything about Pulse and memory?

Pulse doesn't seem to take up a lot of space. I don't think the feeds accumulate. I think the old ones get dumped as new ones come in. Also, the feeds are primarily text, so they don't require a lot of space.

As for email, when you have mail in your inbox, all attachments are saved in your My Downloads folder, so these can take up some space depending on the size of the attachment. When you delete the mail, however, the attachments are removed from the My Downloads folder, even though the email is still in your trash folder.

Thanks for the info, wymore. Good to hear that Pulse isn't bad space-wise. Think I'll get it. Interesting that the attachments get deleted, which for sure saves space!

I've never had a space issue but I do have a 8 gig SD card in the NC. BTW, Pulse is my favorite app.
