Automatic downloading of large attachments
« on: May 20, 2015, 11:03:53 am »

You can set the size of loading messages in AquaMail settings / Network / WiFi  settings + Mobile data settings.
I found the way to increase the limit of (pre) downloading attachements... But I am missing the "unlimited size" option!
Would it be possible to add this in the next version?

Please install the latest AquaMail version 1.5.7.1 from Play Store or directly from the download section here :
http://www.aqua-mail.com/download/AquaMail-market-1.5.7.1.apk

Go to AquaMail settings > Network:
Now you can change the settings for both (Wifi + Mobile data)  to "no limit".

Well... I can change the limits to "no limit" there.
BUT: Under the Folders->preload->Attachments WIFI/Mobile I still have the 30MB limit!

Yes, that's correct.. and the option has been implemented as intended.
However, this "limitation" is only for preloading to prevent exorbitant data usage without any additional action from the user.

This would be a nice option, but I do not need this - so, why don't offer the possibility to disable it?
Is there a chance to get a "no limit" option there?

So no limit is actually 30MB ;D Give that man a chance.

I think that a small option to enable (disable?) it won't hurt anybody :D

... until the first user who set "No limit" will get an email with a huge video file as attachment which waste his whole free mobile data quota...

Actually yes, I get huge emails - mostly on Saturdays : then the newspaper is often that large.
And - honestly - if 30MB is okay, then more makes not that big difference...

Are you going to add the "no limit" option?
It is really annoying to leave home and realize that the attachments did not load during the night - so I have to download it manual without WiFi... Had that problem today...

@Kostya,
Maybe an additional "No limit" option only for the WiFi settings could be useful:
> Account settings > Options and folders > Preload > Attachments, WiFi

What are your thoughts on this?

That would be okay...
But: Why don't you want to let the user decide what he wants? Just add the possibility to choose...

The majority of mail servers have message size limits -- and 30 megabytes comes up quite often.

>> Actually yes, I get huge emails - mostly on Saturdays : then the newspaper is often that large

Someone sends you newspaper *as attachments* ??? (pdf I presume ???)

And just how large are those?
