: For non __offline__ folders:
* Messages or MIME parts are downloaded and cached ''sometimes'' (there are constraints such as cache size)
→Current Behaviour
=== Current Behaviour ===
'''''NOTE:''''' ''This refers to TB3, however currently the only significant difference is the new auto-sync feature in TB3.''
1) For __offline__ folders:* If autoAuto-sync is (on and message is not excluded (see strategiesby default):** it is downloaded and stored automatically* If auto-sync is off or message is excluded:** All non-inline MIME parts < ~30KB:*** It is downloaded and stored will download '''only whenall''' viewed** One or more non-inline MIME parts > ~ 30KB:*** MIME parts are downloaded on-demand and cached ''sometimes'' (there are constraints such as cache size)messages in an __offline__ folder. We may not want this in all cases i.e. for large messages.
2) Auto-sync meets the desired behaviour in most cases ([[Better Faster IMAP Plan|see here for more information]]). So lets just look at scenarios in which auto-sync is not applicable i.e. non __offline__ folders and messages that we do not want to be auto-synced. : a) If all non-inline MIME parts < ~30KB:* message is downloaded and stored when viewed: b) If one or more non-inline MIME parts > ~ 30KB:* MIME parts are downloaded on-demand and cached ''sometimes'' (there are constraints such as cache size) 3) Messages in offline store are retrieved from local storage. Cached MIME parts are retrieved from cache, however large MIME parts (i.e. attachments are rarely cached)
'''''NOTE:''''' ''Effectively this means that messages with large MIME parts (i.e. attachments) are not cached and not available offline''.
