Partial e-mail retrieval

1 replies · 1,495 views · Started 05 January 2006

I just switched from a WM5 PDA to an n70, one of the things I actually liked on the PDA was that it would download 2k of each email from my GMail POP account and allow me to preview most of the email before I downloaded the whole thing. Even if I did retrieve the whole thing it would not download the attachment unless I requested it explicitly.

Now, I see on the n70 you can set it to retrieve 2k of the message, however it only seems to get the headers, even when this option is set. Not only this but if I do ask for the message to be retrieved it will fetch the whole thing including the attachments.

Has anyone got any advise for me here, has anyone found a better way to manage their emails?
