Recently my Droid began bugging me because I was low on memory. Even with deleting all the apps I could spare, moving apps to the SD card, and almost elminating text messages I still ran out of memory and was unable to receive new text messages or update applications. The cause? My e-mail application TouchDown.

TouchDown is a great e-maill app for those of us connecting to e-mail servers such as Microsoft Exchange who want a lot of control of our e-mail, the ability to download folders, and not having incoming e-mail wake us up at 3 AM. TouchDown can also use a lot of space – 45 MB in my case.

Fortunately, there is a solution. You can change the location where TouchDown stores the database to the SD card. They caution against it as there is a possibility of issues when accessing Exchange while the SD card is mounted on the PC. Since my Droid’s SD card is rarely mounted this shouldn’t be an issue.

How do you move your TouchDown database to SD card? “From the main Touchdown screen, press the Menu icon and choose More | Profiles and you will see the first screen above. Long-press the Default Account name, and you will see the second screen. You would choose Move to SD Card. It will give you a warning and then it only takes a couple of minutes and you are good to go. You can move it back at any time….” – The complete article with a screen shot can be viewed at: http://www.simplemobilereview.com/nitrodesk-touchdown-save-your-data-to-the-sd-card/.
