[Q] Email Attachments

[stefnee]

When I receive emails on my Inspire, any jpeg attachment is automatically downloaded. I have searched and cannot find any settings that changes this behavior. The attachments download to the phone even if I do not open the email.

Any help appreciated.

What email app are u using?

I use Gmail, K9 mail and Secure-9 mail, and none of them download to sd card/phone unless I tell them to.

K9 and Secure-9 do download full emails with all attachments with total size upto 2 MB cos of my settings but that's stored within the mail app itself.

I posted a couple of times about this and could not find a solution. Regardless what email app you use, the stock inspire email app always downloads the pic and sends it into your photos and SD card. I think its a flaw in the OS.
Now since I am rooted and running a custom ROM, I don't have this issue but for some reason it use to bother me to know end.....

Never tried before I rooted but with Gmail, I have to click download before it stores it. It doesn't even store it when I preview. In K9, I have to click save.

Sent from my Inspire 4G using the power of the dark side.

Stock Email App with Comcast

We are using the stock email app configured with Comcast. Nice to know this is not just happening to me and there is no fix. I am new to the Android team and have not considered Rooting the phone. May be an option if this is the only fix.

Use a different email app dude. Why do u want to stick to stock email. There are better choices like K9 mail, etc.
