Email Application Issue

I am developing email application that will fetch mails from gmail, yahoo, hotmail etc. I am using imap function to fetch emails from gmail, yahoo etc. However while fetching I am getting only 200 mails or something as mail count, even though I have thousands of mails in my gmail account. May I know how to fetch all my mails using imap or pop3 classes.

And also how to fetch all users emails periodically. I am using crontab to fetch emails but single cron takes lot of time to fetch so other users will not wait until cron downloads the emails. If I make individual cron for each and every user then server will be very slow. Is there any alternative way to fix this issue. Thanks for all your help in advance!
