Email - Sync 4 days?

It is how many days back you want the phone to pull from the gmail servers. For example let's say you have a couple thousand emails in your inbox, you probably don't want all of them on your phone. So you choose to sync for 4 days, and the only ones on your phone will be those messages that are newer than 4 days. All the rest will remain on the gmail server.
 
I have mine set for two days yet all of my mail is showing.

Thoughts?

It can pull more than the setting. If you only have one e-mail from the past x days, it will pull enough to fill the screen. If you keep scrolling down, it will keep pulling e-mails, but will reset to the default when you exit.
