- What it sounds like this person wants is to use IMAP to access his mailbox.
- With IMAP, you can leave all your mail on the server and only download which
- messages you want. You can even download a message without the attachments (if
- there are any).
-
- The only Amiga mail clients I know of that support IMAP is Pine (and a
- yet-to-be-released program called Spruce).
