Stock Jellybean email app to autodownload emails?

[zijincheng]

Hi, the stock email app in Jellybean downloads pictures/text from emails when you open the email to view, but I'm wondering if there's a way to force email to download all incoming emails, opened or not, for offline viewing?

I would like to stick to the stock email app without installing a 3rd party email client.

Thank you

Mine does what I *think* you want. Each account inbox syncs up everything in it, read or not, when an email account is opened (using 4 accounts with the stock JB email app, not the dedicated Gmail app). Works for IMAP or POP3.

Of course to save data, an attachment is not downloaded until the attachment is selected, but it is then on the phone for offline use. For IMAP accounts this default behavior can be changed to auto-download attachments in the settings but only for when on wifi.

Yes, however I would like email to sync all mail without even having to open the email app. Also will it download pictures in mail for offline viewing as well?
