131586 - IMAP messages should be available offline after reading online

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

From Bugzilla Helper:

I think there should be a mode (as with Eudora) "set messages available offline
as I read them". A message read once (or an attachement viewed once) should be
able to be viewed offline in that mode. In fact I think that should be the
default mode.

it's more like bug than enhacement 
it seems to me that currently mozilla download message every time I access it
didn't check if it happens on UW-IMAP without SSL

btw where submit bug report about plain text INBOX file in ImapMail directory
(I use it on Windows, Have Master Password set, and connect to UW server trough SSL)

question: how much is POP code separated from IMAP code?

I would like to change severity to MAJOR
because without such feauture Mozilla can't be used
on slow network connection
(now it downloads message every time i access it)
which is not nice network behavior

this exists - bring up folder properties, and check the "select this folder for
offline use" in the offline tab. Then, when you read a message, we'll download
the contents for offline use.
