IMAP: when a new message is selected which has a LARGE attachment, the
attachment download automatically begins. The download of the attachment can not
be stopped.
Clicking on Stop does appear to stop the download, but then selecting any other
message then re-starts the attachment download for the message just stopped.

The only way to stop the transfer seems to be to quit the messenger.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send yourself a mail with a large attachment.
2. Click on the mail to read it.
3. Stop the transfer (click stop button).
4. Try to read next message.

Actual Results:  
The download of the attachment resumes. Blocking the (SLOW) communication link
until the download is complete.

Expected Results:  
Stopped the transfer of the attachment completely when "Stop" is clicked.
