Yeah. Sure. Believe me, I know how to use these features.
What I wanted to say was: If a message is too large to be downloaded,
it will stay on the server and you will not receive any message that
there is a messages not downloaded because of its size. So you have to
check the account(s) regularly using the remote control - which defeats
the idea of checking accounts automatically to some extent.
So I suggest to give the user either a possibility to skip large
messages during download (so I know I skipped a message) or at least
inform the user that a message has been skipped automatically.
