Hm... maybe this is a something that someone here with programming skills could come up with a solution for?

"Downloading the messages to the device anyway" does not necesarily mean that we should have to SAVE the messages to the device just to view it. A message could just be displayed on the screen, then discarded when we navigate away from it.

The problem I have is that I don't really want to save a copy of my entire inbox (or any of it really) on my phone. In fact, I don't even care if it acts exactly like mail.yahoo.com and needs a live connection just to show me 10 headers per page at a time. I just want to be able to view it, download attachments, send replies, etc. Just like if I logged into mail.yahoo.com or some other web-based email. It doesn't HAVE to be saved to our device to use web-based email, so it shouldn't HAVE to be saved to our device for POP3, IMAP, etc. either.
