I have added the account to the default e-mail client (POP3, it is a custom domain, not a provided such as Hotmail or Gmail) but there appears to be no option to sync all e-mails to the device.

Within the e-mail Account Settings, I get:
  • General settings
    • Account name
    • Your name
    • Signature
    • Inbox check frequency
    • Default account
  • Notification settings
    • Email notifications
    • Select ringtone
  • Server settings
    • Incoming settings
      • Username
      • Password
      • POP3 server
      • Security type
      • Port
      • Delete email from server
    • Outgoing settings
      • STMP server
      • Security type
      • Port
      • Require sign-in
      • Username
      • Password
  • Remove account
    • Remove account
Any ideas?

I have never seen a default mail client give the option to sync all email. I would imagine that it's a memory constraint. Even Exchange accounts only sync a few days worth. You can go and ask for more than 3 days on demand, but it will only sync 3 days at a time.

Touchdown or K-9 may let you. I've only used each briefly myself, but many love them over the default mail client. Cory mentioned one at the end of last weeks Podcast they he really likes, but I don't remember the name off the top of my head.
