AFAIK there is currently no way of not downloading attachments. However,
as the IMAP code is planned to be rewritten for 1.6, maybe this will
make it in the new code as an option?
Jeff, what do you think?
To your issue: My observations are totally different, using IMAP too. I
just checked it with a 5 MByte attachment:
When viewing the mail the first time, the attachment is loaded. But the
mail *and* the attachment are stored in a cache, so that I do not have
to wait every time I read this mail.
This caching even survives closing Evolution for me.
Does your IMAP server generate new UIDL id's for every new session at
any chance? :-/
