Gmail
 

Hi guys, i have a small issue with my gmail account set on the n900... is there a way from preventing it from automatically download attachments? for instance, i wanna be able to open the email, read its content without download whatever attachment it contains... on my htc i had set a retrieval limit of 100ks then i would download the attach. manually....
anyone facing this issue? is it a setting ive missed?

It is a very usefull feature to save bandwidth.But I can not find the option.My old N73 had this.

It's basically what you are searching for, however.. This is for use with the Modest program (haven't used it myself, so i can't say if it's any good).

Modest is the default email client on the N900 (and the others, too). Are you using something else?

@ Apox
thanks, i checked it but apparently this feature will be available with a new firmware no?... in the meantime using gmail can become quite expensive!

Re: Gmail
 

Use your gmail account thru nokia messaging...it works great...does not download the attachment or images initially....i m using it and its nice.

It would be so cool.. if we could update modest without a firmware update easily.

I really hope they fix the imap-idle bug (that it is disabled)
