I can confirm that further to my report in Comment 142 this particular folder *IS* set to offline mode with "Select this folder for offline use" ticked.
Interesting development: 1. Created new TEST subfolder (also marked for offline use) 2. Move EmailA (1MB attachment) 3. Run above test on EmailA - no redownloading. 4. Move EmailB (6MB attachment) 5. Run above test - (try saving, click off email then back on etc) - attachment redownloaded each time. Conclusion - is there some kind of caching/offline limit set? What doesn't make any sense is I have 'Dont download messages larger than 50KB' ticked in my 'Synchronisation and Storage' settings for this account. Presumably this is being entirely ignored as 1MB > 50KB. Unless the bug is that the code thinks 50KB is actually 5000KB...trying this now with settings set to 5KB... Nope - still wont' work for 6MB attachment but fine for 1MB one. Also - when I click 'go offline' all the 1MB emails (body and attachments) are available offline. The 6MB email has no content at all - "The body of this message has not been downloaded from the server for reading offline...". For some reason a 6MB attachment is being entirely left on the server - no use of offline file space. SECOND TEST - Created new subfolder with 'use offline' switched off. Testing will TB use cache? Result - identical behaviour. The 1MB file is cached. The 6MB file is redownloaded each time. Offline storage vs Cached makes no difference.
