Stock email app question (or alternatives?) - Atrix 4G Themes and Apps

I use the stock email app to check Yahoo emails via POP3. My question is: is there is any way to limit the range of days for the sync?
I hardly check my emails on my phone but I'm constantly sending emails out. My "problem" is that the stock app wants to download every email missing since the last time I synced, usually about a week's worth or so. And since it downloads from oldest to current, it can take a while.
Ideally, I'd love to be able to set the sync range to the last day or three days. I just haven't found that option with the stock app.
I've tried K-9 and another one or two that I'm forgetting (probably Enhanced), but I wasn't too crazy about them and stuck with stock. Didn't like Yahoo's email app, either.
Any suggestions?

The stock email app is indeed rather basic and kinda limited when it comes to certain stuff, so I'm not surprised at all if it can't do what you're asking.
I'm a little surprised you don't like K-9 though. Haven't used it personally (I hardly ever use any kind of email on my phone), but I have yet to see someone who was unhappy with it (or, well, at least until now... guess I just saw someone like that now, lol).
No suggestions then, since my suggestion would be K-9.

K9 is the best mail app for POP and IMAP. EnhancedEmail is the best for Exchange. I have tried and compared almost all of the email apps.

I'll give K9 another shot as I can't specifically remember what problem I had with it.
I still wish I could just give the app a date range. I simply don't need to access every email I've ever received. The stock app on Palm's OS had this feature and it was incredibly useful.
Edit: I solved the problems I originally had with K-9, namely figuring out how to create a shortcut that went directly to a specific inbox instead of having to click around to get to it.
Cheers!

Maildroid is my choice after trying K9. K9 didn't let me change ports if you have an IMAP/SMTP hybrid mail account.

I use Enhanced Email and have had no complaints. Great for all account types imo.

You might want to look at Touchdown also. I've been using the trial version and so far I've been impressed.

---

I ditched stock for K-9 also.

---

The only reason I didn't stick with K-9 was it wasn't playing well with the exchange server at work. I've not had any such problems with Touchdown. But for POP3 K-9 probably would've worked fine.

---

I'll give Touchdown a try tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion.

I use AquaMail for my Yahoo mail.
