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.

Hope this is useful feedback.
