[Q] Email Attachments

[geoffott]

I don't know if anyone else has had this problem, but I've searched the Q&A section and didn't see it anywhere... I have been unable to download any attachments from my email.

Let me specify: I click on the download arrow next to the attachment in the email app, a clock with spinning hands appears, then disappears, and I get an error that says "Network error." I would understand that except that it happens when I have perfect signal or on WiFi, and there has never been a successful attachment download.

I previously used a MT3G (which I pre-ordered and received two days before they were available in stores), rooted it, flashed custom ROMs, unrooted it, wiped it, re-rooted it, restored nandroid backups... and viewed email attachments! I love my new phone, but could someone help me with this? I've searched, and I've looked through the settings in the app itself, but nothing has remedied this problem.

Thanks in advance, this community has helped me learn so much over the past several months.

Update: I am running Gr8gorilla's DHD ROM, and the email attachments download perfectly... now I'm even more confused! Why doesn't it work on stock?!

I can't offer you any answers unfortunately, but I can certainly relate. I had G1 (same thing, pre-ordered, got it on the first day) and I could never download any attachments. Multiple roms, clearing defaults, full wipes, clearing gmail/gtalk/html viewer data and it still never worked. To this day, I still don't know why it did not work. MT4G on the other hand works perfectly with both stock and CM roms.
Good luck.
